Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 300 The Rice Grain Man

The two dwarfs eventually died.

No matter how tenacious its vitality, it couldn't withstand the massive amount of attributes that Da Bao kept adding.

During this process, Chu Danqing was also considering what to do now.

If things go smoothly from here on out, it will probably be difficult to succeed on your own; you'll need to leverage existing resources.

“Xiao Chu, people, people,” Da Bao suddenly said.

Chu Danqing immediately understood that Da Bao meant that many people were approaching.

He can only say "one person" when he is alone; saying "two people" means there are more people.

Immediately, a beam of light swept over, but its intensity was not as great as Chu Danqing's 100,000-lumen flashlight.

Using this light, Chu Danqing saw the newcomer.

Through William's memories, Chu Danqing recognized them; this group was Chu Danqing's legal team.

However, he astutely noticed a problem: the number of staff had been reduced significantly.

The legal team originally consisted of both men and women, but now it is only composed of men.

Of course, the number of men has also decreased, probably because they died along the way.

Behind them, a group of dwarves were chasing after them, swords in hand.

Theoretically speaking, the legal team is no match for the dwarves, so they have no chance of escaping.

Chu Danqing also deduced something from the dwarves' expressions: the dwarves chasing his legal team were playing cat and mouse.

"Run, William!" one of the leading lawyers shouted as soon as he saw Chu Danqing.

Chu Danqing naturally did not choose to remain still; instead, he began to have Da Gu chant the mournful song "Sorrowful Return of the Wind."

Ancient rhymes lingered in the cave, their echoes causing the dwarves a vague unease.

As the chanting ended, the mournful wind immediately struck the last dwarf.

The dwarf died on the spot, and then the area-of-effect damage combined with the combo effect wiped out the entire party in an instant.

How could Da Bao's attack power compare to Da Gu's?

He struggled to kill him, but for Big Bone it was just one move, and even that was an overkill.

The entire legal team was stunned by what they saw.

“William, you…you know witchcraft???” Rudolf Ally, the leader of the legal team, stammered.

"Of course not, these are just some exorcism spells left by my family. I was just trying them out, and I didn't expect them to actually work." Chu Danqing immediately denied it.

Chu Danqing possesses William's memories and knows that the identity of a wizard is basically related to devils and cults.

Once identified, the best-case scenario is deportation.

If they were unlucky, they would have been burned at the stake.

Of course, this is William's memory; as for matters involving the extraordinary and mysterious, the other party is unaware of them.

This trial world is divided very thoroughly.

“That’s true. How could witchcraft possibly exorcise the Rice People? Only exorcism spells can do it.” Rudolf breathed a sigh of relief.

He was also afraid that Chu Danqing was a sorcerer.

It wasn't just a matter of their identities; it was also because their deal fell through.

"What about the others? How are they?" Chu Danqing asked, then added, "What do you know about the Rice Grain People?"

“Yes, we still need to rescue Fila and the others,” Rudolf hurriedly said. “They’ve been captured by the Milli-people and are being used as sacrifices.”

“William, your estate documents are kept by Fira. Without these documents, inheriting the estate will be very difficult.”

Rudolf was helpless about this; if the documents were in his hands, his first thought would not be to save people but to escape.

Without the payment from this order, he wouldn't be able to pay enough damages, and would eventually go bankrupt and be imprisoned.

“As for the others, they are all dead. The Mili people only need women as sacrifices, and we must rescue them before they are sacrificed,” Rudolf continued.

For Chu Danqing, this was barely half good news.

After all, the person is still alive.

"Mr. Rudolf, please lead the way. As for the rest of you, leave as soon as possible and wait for us outside the cave," Chu Danqing said, glancing at the disheveled lawyers.

This made Rudolf's expression turn abnormal.

I just escaped, how could I possibly go back with you?

Chu Danqing saw through Rudolf's thoughts and immediately said, "Mr. Rudolf, you are the only one here who knows about the Rice People's situation. How can we save them if you don't come with me?"

"You wouldn't want to be sued or even hanged for not being able to pay bonuses and compensation, would you?"

As soon as he said that, Rudolf's face turned green.

He forgot to consider Chu Danqing.

Without a will, Chu Danqing's inheritance of the title and estate is indeed troublesome, but with a different legal team, the trouble is not insurmountable.

Then when Chu Danqing inherits the title, we'll kick you while you're down. What do you mean by being imprisoned? Don't even think about it, just go straight to the gallows and swing on a swing.

Through William's memories, Chu Danqing also realized that Rudolf was a pure litigator.

They wholeheartedly helped Chu Danqing, not out of any sense of justice or law, but simply because the client paid them a lot. They said nice things, but their methods of distorting the truth were numerous.

That's why William's distant relative chose to hire Rudolf's legal team.

“But…the Milli-Man…” Rudolph wanted to explain, but in the end he lowered his head: “Alright, William, I’ll go with you.”

He saw the indifferent looks in the eyes of the other members of the team.

The entire legal team was composed of a group of highly capable litigators, and they worked together because they could share the spoils.

But now that their interests are in conflict, even if they escape, they won't just let it go.

If you're asking who sent him to prison, it's definitely these people.

"It's good that you understand. Let's go." Chu Danqing said immediately, then picked up his flashlight to provide illumination.

As for the other lawyers, they continued to flee.

Chu Danqing did not tell them about the white-furred monster.

The monster has no ill intentions toward humans, so there is no need to worry about it causing trouble for them.

On the contrary, the so-called "rice grain people" are obviously not serious people.

"Tell me, what's the deal with this rice-grain person?" Chu Danqing asked.

Da Bao led the way, while Chu Danqing and Rudolf walked beside him.

"Before seeing them, I thought they were just fictional things from fairy tales," Rudolf said with a wry smile.

Then she said, "My grandmother once told me a story."

The core of the story is roughly about a kind farmer who accidentally wanders into the mountains and encounters an evil dwarf.

Finally, with his courage and wisdom, he defeated the dwarves and stopped the evil priest, successfully rescued the princess who was to be sacrificed, and lived happily ever after.

Rudolf was able to recognize them because his grandmother's story contained slang terms describing the appearance of the rice grains.

It has a round head, small eyes, and no hair on its entire body.

Carrying a knife, wrapped in hemp, he kills and eats meat, laughing until his teeth fall out.

After listening, Chu Danqing realized that although the overall plot did not deviate from the framework of a fairy tale, it did mention the situation of the rice grain people.

As for why Rudolf remembered this fairy tale to this day, it's because his grandmother only knew how to tell this story, and there were really no variations.

"Is there anything else?" Chu Danqing continued to ask.

"That's all. I don't know anything more." Rudolf didn't know much either.

Later, he left his grandmother and went to school with his parents, and never heard the story again.

As for the matter of the rice grain people, they were gradually forgotten due to their studies and work.

If I hadn't actually met him this time, I might not have been able to tell him these stories until his grandson was born.

Chu Danqing looked slightly regretful upon hearing this.

Rudolf's maternal grandmother was likely involved with some kind of deity or even monster, but Rudolf, like William, was just an ordinary person whose family had such connections.

As for the other party's maternal grandmother, she is probably already dead.

Even if they are still alive, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.

"Tell me about your situation, from when we got separated to when we escaped." Seeing this, Chu Danqing had no choice but to change the subject.

Rudolf gave Chu Danqing a slightly strange look, inwardly marveling at how much this man had changed.

He was just an ordinary office worker before, but now he has this kind of aura. He is indeed a nobleman.

"Back then," Rudolf recounted to Chu Danqing as he recalled the events.

Basically, they were captured by the Rice Grain People as soon as they showed their faces.

At first, the entire legal team was very brave, thinking that a group of people who were less than a meter tall and wielding small stone knives that looked like toys could pose any threat.

Then, after several lawyers were hacked to death like chopping melons and vegetables, he was eaten clean in less than two minutes under their watchful eyes.

It directly shattered their psychological defenses.

Then the female lawyer was captured and used as a sacrificial offering, while the male lawyer was used as a plaything and food, to be eaten when they got tired of him.

It was precisely for this reason that Rudolf and his companions were able to escape and successfully meet Chu Danqing.

Furthermore, Rudolf mentioned a priest among the Rice People who held a staff-like object; he was an old Rice People with drooping, wrinkled skin.

I didn't see him at first, but it was this old man who took the female lawyer away.

“It’s true, that old rice-grain priest was different; his eyes were full of wisdom.” Rudolf emphasized again, “Even now, when I recall his eyes, I still feel fear.”

"Even when faced with those man-eating dwarfs, I'm just afraid."

Chu Danqing nodded, but did not answer.

He was thinking to himself, if the other party is a priest, then is there still a leader?
"William, are you confident you can save him?" Seeing that Chu Danqing did not answer, Rudolf had no choice but to ask bluntly.

Chu Danqing replied, "Of course, you've seen my exorcism incantation."

He wasn't actually sure, but he couldn't say that, because it would affect morale.
