Starting With 3 S-Class Talents Chapter 348 - The Bet Agreement, Go Enjoy It

Chapter 348 - The Bet Agreement, Go Enjoy It

In the Tias Mountains, Avril, Angelina, and Ebenezer sat on the ground with Horace. Angelina, who was more patient, explained to Horace and his disciple how they entered the Dark Elves world.

At the same time, she told them about the grudges between them and Gajero. She also told them about what they had seen and heard in the temple in the valley outside of Dark Yuan City.

"That's how it happened. We were guided by Conrad, the priest of the temple. We came here to find the elves who still believed in the elf kings. We want to fight together with them and drive the demon forces out of the Elf World!" said Angelina firmly.

After hearing Angelina's story, Horace and Andy could not help but look at each other.

The master and disciple's eyes were both filled with shock. They could not believe that these humans had such a thrilling experience!

However, Horace was still brooding over the failure of the a.s.sa.s.sination earlier. He was even more unwilling to believe the sincerity of Angelina and the others. He asked coldly, "You keep saying that you want to get back at Gajero, then why did you stop me from a.s.sa.s.sinating the son of the City Lord? Your companion actually turned into a Dark Elf and saved the son of the City Lord!"

Angelina explained, "We want to find more elves, and at the same time, we also want to learn the secrets of the Dark Elves. Therefore, we won't let go of any means to gather information. Moreover, the son of the City Lord seems to be a childish youth. He doesn't deserve to die. Isn't it more worthwhile to save him in order to enter the inner part of Devil Flame City smoothly?"

When Horace heard Angelina's explanation, he could not help but reply even more angrily, "What do you mean by don't deserve to die? Do you know how many elves who still believe in the Elf Kings have been slaughtered by the youth's father? His father is the City Lord of the Devil Flame City, Andre! It was not easy for us to get a chance to kill his son and avenge the death of the elves, but you ruined it!"

Although Angelina was patient, she was not good at arguing. She did not know what to say after seeing Horace's rude att.i.tude.

Avril sneered and said, "Ridiculous! If you want to avenge the death of the elves, then go and kill the City Lord! Hiding in the woods and killing a defenseless child, you call this revenge? Are you even qualified to be called an a.s.sa.s.sin?"

Horace could not help but lower his head when he heard Avril's comments. Of course, he knew that it was unreasonable to a.s.sa.s.sinate Dave, but Andre hid in Devil Flame City almost every day. He rarely showed his face in public. Horace could not find an opportunity to a.s.sa.s.sinate him.

Therefore, Horace had no choice but to a.s.sa.s.sinate Andre's son, as the incident may force him to leave the city to seek revenge for his son. Only then can Horace find a better opportunity to a.s.sa.s.sinate him!

However, doing so could easily be interpreted as bullying the weak and fearing the strong. He only knew how to a.s.sa.s.sinate the weak to vent his anger!

Andy could not help but say, "You have actually misunderstood my master. All these years, the a.s.sa.s.sination of Andre had been his life's goal. He is very strict with his own cultivation. He wanted to a.s.sa.s.sinate Andre's son so that he can force Andre out of the city!"

Ebenezer, who was also an a.s.sa.s.sin, could not help but shake his head with disdain and said, "Since Andre doesn't want to leave the city, then you can enter the city to kill him. As an a.s.sa.s.sin, you only need to determine the location of the target. After knowing where he is hiding, wouldn't it be easier for you to find him?"

Horace turned to look at Ebenezer and sighed helplessly, "You don't understand! Devil Flame City has always been known as a forbidden place for all races. It is also one of the most dangerous cities under the control of the Dark Elves. Every street and alley in the city is equipped with special equipment that could identify the races. If one who entered was not a Dark Elf, a warning signal will be sent. No matter how well you hid your aura, you would not be able to escape the detection of the equipment. Now, under the management of Andre, there are many soldiers stationed around the city. If any outsiders are discovered in the city, there will not be able to escape. That is why I have been waiting for Andre to leave the city!"

"What did you say? Special equipment to identify other races?"

Ebenezer looked at Horace in shock, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

Angelina and Ariel were also shocked. This was because they suddenly remembered that Vincent must have already arrived in the Devil Flame City. If his ident.i.ty was exposed by the detection device, then the danger he faced would be far greater than that of Dark Yuan City.

Ebenezer asked anxiously, "What should we do? Should we charge into the city to save Master?"

Avril replied calmly, "Don't go anywhere! Given the current situation, we can only trust that Vincent will find a way to solve the problem. If we barge into Devil Flame City rashly, we will only cause trouble for him!"

Angelina nodded upon hearing that. There was no one in the world who was more worried about Vincent's safety than Angelina and Avril. After all, they were Vincent's cla.s.smates, comrades-in-arms and lovers.

But at the same time, they were also the people who trusted Vincent the most in the world. They firmly believed that Vincent had the ability to deal with all difficulties. Even when facing Gajero and the Protoss, Vincent could still escape unscathed. He would definitely be able to turn the situation around!

Ebenezer asked unwillingly, "Then, we should just wait here and do nothing?"

Avril turned to Horace and said softly, "How can we not do anything? The most important thing now is to unite with more elves and wait for news from Vincent. Then, we should prepare to overthrow Gajero together!"

Although Ebenezer was burning with anxiety, he was not stupid enough to ask Avril where to find the elves. That was because there were two living elves right in front of them.

If they wanted to find more elves, they just had to ask.

Horace looked at Ebenezer and the others unwillingly. He then turned to look at his injured disciple, as if he was in a dilemma.

Horace was not sure whether the foreign races were reliable, so how could he tell them the most important secrets of the elves?

Andy looked at Horace and said softly, "Master, I don't think they are bad people!"

Horace could not help but fall into silence. After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "There are indeed some surviving members of the Elf Race that are wandering around, and I know the whereabouts of some of them. But if you want me to take you to find those elves, you have to prove your determination to fight against Gajero!"

Avril heard this and asked, "How do we prove it?"

Horace said with a serious face, "Help us a.s.sa.s.sinate Andre! As long as Andre dies, I will believe in your stand!"

Angelina could not help but frown. Even if they wanted to stop the invasion of the Elf World by Gajero, it was definitely not something that could be solved by simply killing a Dark Elf. Moreover, according to Horace, there were many dangers in Devil Flame City. It would be even more difficult to a.s.sa.s.sinate the City Lord. If she agreed to Horace's request, it would be equivalent to asking everyone to risk their lives with him.

As Vincent was not around, Angelina did not know what to do for the time being.

Ebenezer, who was at the side, said to Horace with even more disdain, "Why do you have no shame? No matter how heinous Andre is, the hatred you have for him is an internal conflict between the Elf Race. Our goal is to drive the Demon Race's forces out of Elf World. It is to do a great good for your entire Elf Race! Why can't you think bigger?"

Horace still stubbornly said, "The hatred between me and Andre is not just personal. It is also to take revenge for those innocent elves who had died tragically! Moreover, if you really want to fight against the demon forces, then you should cooperate with us to kill Andre, because he is one of the most loyal believers of Gajero! Ever since Gajero ruled the Elf world, he would issue missions to various cities every year. Upon completing those missions, Gajero would measure the degree of loyalty of those believers. The 12 most loyal believers would then be selected by him. They will be given the t.i.tle of Demon Apostle; Andre was one of the 12 Demon Apostles!"

Avril, who had remained silent all this time, finally opened her mouth and said, "Alright, I will make a decision for Vincent, and help you to kill Andre! You will then lead us to find more elves, and we will discuss the plan to overthrow Gajero together!"

Horace nodded and said, "Alright! As long as you can help me kill Andre or even if it's just to create an opportunity for me to kill him, my disciple will lead you to find the other elves. This is regardless of whether I'm still alive or not!"

Avril nodded and said to Ebenezer, "During this period of time, you'll hide near the city gates and pay attention to the creatures who go in and out every day, especially that son of the City Lord. If Vincent wants to leave the city to deliver any news, there's a high probability that he'll come out together with that son of the City Lord!"

Ebenezer nodded and said in a serious manner, "Don't worry, I promise to complete the mission!"

After saying that, Ebenezer turned around and left. He rushed straight toward Devil Flame City.

Avril then said to Horace, "For now, let Andy recuperate first. Do you have a place to rest for the time being? We need to wait for our companions to send news back before we can proceed to the next step!"

Horace nodded and said, "Yes, please follow me!"

Horace carried Andy on his back and led Avril and Angelina to the jungle at the edge of the mountain range. Finally, when they were about to leave the jungle, they entered a very hidden bas.e.m.e.nt.

The bas.e.m.e.nt was quite s.p.a.cious. There were two rooms in total. It seemed to be the place where Horace and Andy had been staying for a long time.

Horace walked into the room and asked worriedly, "This place is absolutely safe. No one will be able to find us. Everyone can stay here for the time being! However, I wonder if your companion who is responsible for guarding the city gate can contact you again?"

Avril said softly, "You don't have to worry about that. I have already left a mark along the way. He will definitely find us here!"

Horace nodded and returned to his room.

Angelina turned to Avril and asked, "Sister, do you think we can succeed this time?"

Avril said very confidently, "Of course! We have to believe in ourselves, and we should believe in Vincent more!"

...

In Devil Flame City, Dave brought Vincent to the city tower. They looked at the pedestrians pa.s.sing through the streets. He turned around and asked, "How is it? Is Devil Flame City bigger than Dark Yuan City?"

Vincent nodded and said, "Big! It keeps getting bigger, and it's much more luxurious!"

Dave replied proudly, "Of course. Look at the white statues on the streets. Those are special instruments used to detect the races of the Black Hole. There are only two cities in the entire Dark Elves World that have such instruments! Other than Devil Flame City, there's also the Imperial City that has the Demon Race G.o.d's emissary guarding it!"

After hearing this, Vincent narrowed his eyes because he had finally gotten news of the demons.

There were demons guarding the Imperial City!

At the same time, this also allowed Vincent to confirm the final destination of his trip to Elf World. The enmity between him, Gajero, and the demons would definitely be settled in the Imperial City!

What made Vincent even more surprised was how the so-called detection devices did not detect his disguise. When Vincent pa.s.sed by those white statues earlier, nothing abnormal happened. This meant that Vincent could disguise himself as a Dark Elf even more fearlessly.

At that moment, Vincent suddenly saw a group of creatures rus.h.i.+ng over from the main road outside the city.

The leader was wearing a priest robe and holding a magic staff. It was Linus from Dark Yuan City!

Vincent was shocked when he saw this. He sighed to himself that he was really unlucky. He had just created an ident.i.ty for himself that he was from Dark Yuan City, but this old acquaintance of his from Dark Yuan City had suddenly shown up!

At the same time, Vincent was also shocked that he had helped Linus to become the new High Priest. He had slashed the High Priest of that time and caused him serious injuries because he was upset about Conrad's death.

This fanatic believer of Gajero had become the High Priest. However, he did not stay in Dark Yuan City to take charge of government affairs. Instead, he brought a large group of Dark Elves to Devil Flame City. He must have come here to kill them.

Vincent could not help but clench his teeth and sigh, "Haunting!"

Dave looked at Vincent curiously and asked in surprise, "What did you say?"

After Vincent came back to his senses, he hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, I'm talking about the man below!"

Dave turned his head and saw Linus and the others. After sizing them up casually, he said, "He became a High Priest at such a young age. It's not easy! But judging from his rustic appearance, he must be a High Priest from some remote small city!"

Vincent nodded and said, "Your Highness is right. He is the new High Priest of Dark Yuan City. This trip must be to hunt down those foreign races. But if he sees me, he will definitely recognize me. By then, the ident.i.ty Your Highness had prepared for me will be exposed!"

Dave shook his head gently and said, "It's okay! I won't let him see you. Besides, if he really sees you, even if I can't let him pardon you, I can make him unable to convict you. After all, he is just a High Priest of Dark Yuan City. Anyone can do it!"

After hearing Dave's overbearing words, Vincent finally nodded with some relief. At the same time, he saw Linus personally leading a group of creatures into Devil Flame City.

He did not expect to meet the elves, Dark Elves, and some old enemies and friends in Devil Flame City. It seemed that a storm awaits them.

However, Vincent was confident that no matter how strong the storm in Devil Flame City was, it would not be able to reach him, because he was the best at creating storms!

After standing on the city wall and looking at the scenery for a while, Dave seemed to be a little bored. He turned to Vincent and said, "There's nothing to do now anyway. I'll take you to have some fun and let you see the world at the same time!"

Vincent could not help but frown slightly, because Dave's words did not sound like a good thing no matter how he listened to it. He immediately asked, "Your Highness, where are you taking me?"

Dave took a step forward and pretended to be mysterious as he said, "Just follow me. I guarantee that it will be a good place for you to linger and forget to return!"

Vincent sighed helplessly and could only follow Dave down the city tower. They walked all the way to the center of Devil Flame City.

As he pa.s.sed by the white statues on the streets, Vincent could not help but be on guard. After confirming several times that his presence would not activate the warning, he finally relaxed.

Following that, Vincent noticed that the streets in Devil Flame City were very wide. The connections between the main roads were very smooth. In such a street, if there was an emergency, the city's guards would be able to arrange for support to come quickly at any time.

When Vincent was carefully memorizing the streets, he found that Dave had led him through the most bustling street in the center of Devil Flame City. They walked into a noisy alley.

He could hear sounds all around him. There were gamblers, merchants and blacksmiths shouting and cursing. He could also hear the blacksmiths forging.

Vincent sighed softly, "I really didn't expect that there would be such a chaotic place just a street away from the busiest downtown area of Devil Flame City!"

Dave, who was walking in front, smiled slightly and said, "This place is called Devil Flame City's Ghost Market. There are all sorts of creatures living here. Here, you can buy the equipment you want, learn the skills you want to learn, and find out everything that you want to know! As long as you are willing to spend money, you can find all kinds of pastimes. And the most famous one among them is a perfect place called h.e.l.l's Rose! There, you can buy all the things you want to buy, and there will be auctions held from time to time. Every item in the auction is a valuable treasure. People come here to enjoy themselves!"

Vincent said helplessly, "I'm just a boor, I don't know anything about enjoyment. Just enjoy it, Your Highness. I'll be waiting for you!"

Dave shook his head and said, "How can that be? Today, is for you to enjoy it. In the future, when you become my right-hand man, you will have to come to such places to socialize. It's definitely a good thing for you to familiarize yourself with it in advance. Moreover, you saving me today is not enough to be offset by my promise to you, so I must buy something for you!"
