Chapter 318 - The Key
Pop! With a sound, a big wooden cork was pulled out.
A strange milk fragrance wrapped with the fragrance of wine spread out from the wine barrel and quickly filled the entire room. The Giant leaned over and sniffed twice, then swallowed his saliva uncontrollably.
For some reason, the smell of wine today was exceptionally mellow. The Giant could not wait to fill the oak cup with wine. Then, he picked up the oak cup and poured it into his mouth.
“Gulp! Gulp!” In a few seconds, he finished the entire cup of wine.
The Giant, who was completely unaware, drank the second cup.
The third cup…
Cup after cup of wine was poured into the Giant’s mouth. It was unknown how much he drank until the huge wine barrel was almost bottomed out.
The Giant who was sitting at the table was already red-faced. After the last cup of wine was poured into his mouth, the Giant who could no longer endure it let out a heavy burp and then with a ‘boom’… He went straight down to the table.
“SNORE!~ SNORE!~” Soon, the thunder-like snore sounded again. Unlike before, this time, the sound was louder and heavier.
In a corner under the table, Heath’s eyes lit up.
The Gehrus could not help but cheer.
“Success! Success!”
“Giant Luff is asleep! Giant Luff is asleep!” However, not long after they were happy, the sleeping Giant suddenly moved again. Then, under the surprised gazes of Heath and the Gehrus, he swayed and straightened up again.
His single, hazy eye on his big, brandy nose scanned the room, as if he had discovered something
Heath and the Gehrus quickly held their breaths.
Fortunately, the Giant was too drunk, and Heath and the others were too small. After looking around, he did not find anything, so the Giant fell back on the table and continued to sleep.
Heath heaved a sigh of relief.
He quickly warned the Gehrus who were on his body, “Be quiet. Don’t make him wake up.”
“Oh! Yes, yes, Gehru, be quiet. Gehru must be quiet.”
“Gehru knows they’re wrong.”
The Gehru and the others quickly shut their mouths.
Heath waited for a while. After confirming that the Giant had fallen asleep, he came out from the corner. Even so, he still walked carefully and tried to be as light-footed as possible.
Areos was a high-level Wizard-level demonized creature. At the same time, he had a part of the Bloodline of the Gods. His physique had already reached the level of a Wizard, infinitely close to a higher-dimensional life form.
And no matter how powerful the magic potion that Heath had concocted was, it was still at the level of a Wizard. Facing this level, it was still somewhat difficult. Although the effect had smoothly caused the Giant to fall, it was not enough to make him completely lose consciousness, just like how the Gehrus had just woken him up by speaking a little louder.
Coming to the side of the table, Heath did the same thing. He climbed up the large table and then came to the front of the Giant.
From this angle, the Giant looked particularly disgusting. Every pore was the size of a fist. They were densely packed all over the Giant’s body, giving people goosebumps.
Due to the metabolism of these pores, there was something that was probably sweat flowing out of them. It filled the air and smelled disgusting.
‘If I knew this would happen, I would have prepared a bottle of Refreshing Potion and a bottle of Blurry Potion!’
Frowning, Heath cleared his messy thoughts and calmed down to continue his work. He walked up to the Giant. At this time, the Giant was lying on the table with its collar open. He could clearly see where the huge golden key was hanging.
Heath took out the dagger that he had prepared in advance and locked it under the Giant’s chest. He picked up the dagger and began to cut the rope.
The rope was unexpectedly hard. Heath could not tell what material it was made of at the moment. He cut it hard for a while but it did not move at all.
He did not dare to use the power of a Grand Knight. After all, with the Giant’s abnormal five senses, who knew if it would wake him up?
So, Heath’s dagger was made of obsidian. It was an extremely hard material. After cutting for a while, there was still a small gap on the rope.
‘There’s hope!’
As long as it was effective, there was no problem. After all, the sleeping potion’s effect could last for a long time, so he would slowly grind it.
As he thought about it, Heath concentrated on cutting the rope.
After cutting for more than ten minutes, the gap on the rope finally became bigger and bigger, and the hemp rope broke one by one
Just as he was about to win, the sleeping Giant suddenly moved again.
‘It can’t be!’
Heath’s whole body tightened. He hurriedly dropped the work in his hands and fled to the back as if he was flying. He leaped and hid in a plate of cabbage. He picked up a large cabbage leaf to cover himself. He had observed it before. This plate of cabbage was the only dish on the table that the giant had not touched.
On the other side of the table, the Giant straightened his body and wiped his mouth with his sleepy eyes. Then he leaned back and continued to sleep on the chair.
‘Was it just a simple change of posture?’
Heath heaved a sigh of relief.
After observing for a while and confirming that the Giant had fallen asleep again, Heath came out of the cabbage once again.
He came in front of the Giant and frowned as he stared at the key on the Giant’s chest.
After the movement just now, the Giant had changed from lying on the table to leaning on the chair. This meant that if he wanted to continue cutting the rope, he had to climb onto the Giant’s body. Not to mention the distance of dozens of meters, more importantly, he had to pass through the Giant’s body…
‘Will I wake him up?’
After witnessing the Giant’s extraordinary five senses, Heath was also a little worried. If the Giant sensed the abnormality and woke up when he climbed on the Giant’s body, it would be big trouble.
“Let Gehru go!”
“Gehru will bite through the last bit of rope!”
At this moment, the Gehrus volunteered.
Heath thought for a moment and nodded. “Okay, then you guys have to be careful.” After all, Gehru as a target was much smaller, and the noise it caused was much smaller than Heath’s. The probability of the Giant discovering it was much lower.
In addition, although the Gehrus were very weak, their teeth were unexpectedly sharp. They could even bite through steel, and most of the ropes on had been cut by Heath. He should have no problem leaving the rest to them.
Looking at the key on the Giant’s chest, a few Gehrus got off Heath and climbed up…
