Chapter 345: Time for Assassination

Chapter 345: Discovery: Time for Assassination

Vincent, Avril, and Angelina, who were rushing at full speed, only took half a day to travel from the central ridge of the Tias Mountains to the dense forest at the edge.

Previously, when they were advancing in the mountains, they had to search the surroundings for traces of the elves, so their speed was greatly reduced.

As they had a definite target, it was a piece of cake for them to pass through the Tias Mountains at full speed.

When Vincent saw a brand-new mark on a tree in front of them, he could not help but say, “That mark was just left behind. It means that we are not far from Ebenezer! Everyone, slow down. Now that we are at the edge, remember to be careful!”

Avril and Angelina replied at the same time, “Okay!”

The three of them began to slow down tacitly. They looked for cover along the way, and slowly approached Ebenezer’s mark.

Vincent suddenly stopped. He raised his hand and pointed to the front left and said to the two girls beside him in an extremely soft voice, “We’re here!”

Avril and Angelina looked in the direction that Vincent was pointing at. They did not see Ebenezer’s figure. Instead, they saw a group of black shadows shuttling around not far away.

The three of them were in a very good position. They were behind a rock that protruded from the hillside. Not only was it convenient for the three of them to hide, but it was also convenient for them to observe every corner of their surroundings from a high vantage point.

The three of them could see the black shadows that were not far away. It was a group of Dark Elves!

There were three Dark Elves that did not look old. Instead, they were all dressed in gorgeous knight uniforms. The longbows in their hands and the swords on their waists were all inlaid with gemstones. Each of them rode a monster that was commonly seen in the Black Hole world. They walked over slowly.

These monsters, whose strength had already reached level 15, were enough to become the king of monsters in the Black Hole world. However, at that moment, they could only be reduced to obedient mounts.

The three young Dark Elves that were riding the monsters were surrounded by hundreds of well-equipped adult Dark Elves. It seemed like they were guards who were specifically protecting the three young Dark Elves.

As the three Dark Elves rode the monsters forward, they once again reduced the distance between them and Vincent’s team. At this time, Vincent and his team could hear their conversations clearly.

“Bowen, what is the point of us going out to hunt every day?”

“What else can we do if we do not hunt? Our father is so strict with us. Even if we go out to hunt, we still need so many personal guards to follow us. It makes the three of us look like children who haven’t been weaned yet!”

“Bowen is right. We are already adults. How can we still do these children’s things? Albert, what do you think?”

“I think it’s alright. We don’t have any other pastimes other than hunting!”

Vincent, Avril, and Angelina were lying motionless on the rock. They were carefully observing the three Dark Elves whilst trying to figure out their identities.

The three youths were walking side by side. On the left was Bowen who held a blue crystal bow, and on the right was Albert who wore a red great sword on his waist. As for the Dark Elf in the middle who wore a black crystal crown, his name was still unknown. However, it was not difficult to see that his identity was the most important!

At that moment, the Dark Elf wearing the crown suddenly said mysteriously to his two companions beside him, “I wonder if you have heard? Recently, a few outsiders ran in from the Black Hole. They destroyed the idol in Dark Yuan City, killed the High Priest, and then escaped into the Tias Mountains. Until now, they haven’t been caught!”

Albert heard this and said with disdain, “Dark Yuan City is only a small border city. The elves living in it are all country bumpkins. They are simply not presentable. That’s why they let such blasphemous things happen. If those outsiders appear in our Devil Flame City, I guarantee that they won’t be able to return!”

Bowen immediately mocked him, “Forget it! With your strength, do you actually think that you can catch those outsiders? You’ve just advanced to level 20. It’s all because your father is the City Defense Minister!”

Albert immediately retorted, “So what if I rely on my father? In Devil Flame City, if anyone can be captured by my father, they aren’t worthy of me personally taking action!”

When the youth wearing the crown heard this, he only smiled lightly.

It was obvious that Bowen liked to bicker with Albert. He continued to mock, “Well said! Since there isn’t anyone worthy of you taking action in Devil Flame City, then let’s capture them outside the city! I heard that those foreign races have entered the Tias Mountain range. Who knows, the three of us might even meet them! When the time comes, it will be up to you, Albert, to display your skills. Prince Dave and I will be relying on you to protect us!”

Albert retorted with a displeased expression, “Hmph! Protecting His Highness Dave is my duty, but you can just count on your own luck when that time comes. I can’t be bothered with you!”

After hearing this, Vincent finally confirmed the identity of the Dark Elf with the crown on his head.

Being addressed as His Highness by the two noble children beside him meant that this youth was not a prince but the son of the City Lord. His status was extremely prominent!

After hearing their conversation, Avril, who was lying on the rock, could not help but sigh, “These three brats haven’t even grown out their hair yet, and they want to capture us all in one go?”

Angelina also smiled and said, “If they really know that we are hiding by their side, I’m afraid that they will wet their pants in fear!”

Vincent nodded and said, “Let’s make it clear first. We can comment on these three brats who are full of foolishness, but we cannot be too loud. We can laugh at the three of them, but we must not laugh out loud!”

It was not the first time Avril and Angelina had participated in such an operation. They nodded and continued to listen to the conversation of the three young men.

The three young men became more and more excited as they chatted. They even began to boast exaggeratedly. The hundreds of elves behind them were annoyed with them. They had supported Dark Yuan City from a thousand miles away and had even caught the culprits who destroyed the statue previously.

Vincent and the others felt that it was both funny and boring when they heard them boasting. This was because they could not extract any useful information from their conversation. It was completely useless to them and especially to Vincent who was anxious to find the Elf Race.

Avril could not be bothered to pay attention to the three children below. She asked Vincent curiously, “Oh right, why have I never found Ebenezer? Where is he hiding?”

Vincent smiled and said, “You just realized that Ebenezer is missing? I can tell you that he is hiding in your field of vision. Let’s see if you can find him!”

Avril said curiously, “Okay! I will find him for you to see!”

Vincent nodded and said, “Okay. With Angelina, if you two can find Ebenezer’s location, I will prepare a big gift for the two of you!”

Angelina, who was initially not interested in this, immediately nodded, and said, “Alright, it’s a deal!”

Following that, Avril and Angelina looked around carefully and observed every corner of the forest. They made sure to look twice at any tree trunks and rocks that could be used to hide.

But as time went by, Avril and Angelina could not help but frown more and more, because they really could not find any traces of Ebenezer.

Avril rubbed her eyes and sighed, “No, we admit defeat! If we keep looking, I’ll go blind!”

Angelina turned to Vincent and asked, “Now, can you tell us where Ebenezer is hiding?”

Vincent smiled and pointed to the Dark Elf noble named Dave.

“Ebenezer is there!”

“Ah?”

Avril and Angelina exclaimed. They believed that if Ebenezer wanted to hide, he would keep a distance from his target. Plus, the three noble children were being protected by hundreds of Dark Elves. Wouldn’t following the three of them expose him to hundreds of pairs of eyes?

Therefore, Avril and Angelina did not pay attention to the surroundings of the three noble children!

They looked over and saw the three noble children riding on tall monsters and walking on flat grass. There was no shelter around them, and there were hundreds of Dark Elves behind them. It was impossible for them to hide anyone.

Avril turned to Vincent and said, “Are you kidding us? Where is Ebenezer?”

Vincent raised his chin and said, “Pay attention to the shadows of the three of them!”

Avril and Angelina turned to look again. They saw long shadows behind the three teenagers. There was a shadow on the grass. At first glance, there was nothing unusual about it, but after careful observation, they discovered that the shadow behind Dave was abnormally dark. They could not see the grass under the shadow at all. It was as if it had been blocked by something. The shadow also did not have a human-like outline!

Vincent saw that Avril and Angelina had already discovered something and explained, “Ebenezer is a Shadow Demon. Shadow Demons are born assassins. They have an innate talent that is they can transform into a black fog and hide their bodies. At the same time, they do not make any sounds when they move. Therefore, Ebenezer can just follow behind Dave silently. At the same time, he would not be discovered by the hundreds of Dark Elves behind Dave. This is because those Dark Elves have the same thoughts as you. They will only be careful of the situation around them. They will not think that there are already enemies hiding by the side of the three noble children!”

When Avril and Angelina heard this, they were both shocked and envious of the Shadow Demon Race’s talents and abilities. If they met the Shadow Demon Race, they would no doubt suffer a great loss. This was especially if they did not understand the other party’s talent!

Vincent said, “Don’t worry, you won’t meet them. Now that the Shadow Demon Race has fallen apart, they have scattered throughout the entire Black Hole world. Nevertheless, they still have good intentions. They have never thought of invading other worlds as their main goal is for the Shadow Demon Race to recuperate!”

Avril nodded and sighed, “I really didn’t expect that this race, which was obviously born to kill, still has such a kind side!”

Angelina said emotionally, “If there’s a chance, we can try to help a group of Shadow Demons. We can try to help them find a world that no one has occupied so that they can continue to survive. Or we can let them come to the human world so that everyone can take care of each other!”

Vincent smiled slightly and said, “That’s a good idea. If the shadow demons can live in the human world, it would be equivalent to having a safety guarantee for the Human Race. Unfortunately, I don’t think that the shadow demons will agree. Although they have no roots, they still have their own way of life. If they move into the human world, they will definitely attract the attention of all parties. Which assassin would be willing to live in the eyes of others? However, I have already thought of the final destination for the Shadow Demon Race. As long as I have the chance to meet the leader of the Shadow Demon Race in the future, I can give him a suggestion to improve the race’s future!”

Avril could not help but ask curiously, “Oh, and how do you plan to help the Shadow Demon Race?”

Vincent’s face was solemn as he replied, “Isn’t that simple? By accepting the commission from all races to carry out indiscriminate assassinations on all invaders. They may include the Human Race, Beast Race, and even the Esville Race. This way, not only would it be in line with the survival style of the Shadow Demon Race, but it would also help them to find the motivation to survive!”

Avril and Angelina nodded repeatedly in agreement. They thought that Vincent’s method was very good. Fortunately, he was not only thinking for the Shadow Demon Race, but also for the benefit of the 10,000 races in the Black Hole.

Having been baptized in countless battles, Avril and Angelina understood that the value of an excellent assassin was no less than that of a well-equipped army.

This was because, in a battle between two armies, it was very difficult to kill the enemy’s leader. However, if an assassin used the decapitation tactic and succeeded, it could paralyze an entire army and prevent them from forming an effective combat force.

Furthermore, the Shadow Demons are all excellent assassins due to their talent. They would no doubt be a terrifying force.

“Whoosh!”

Just as the three of them started to talk about assassins, there was suddenly a commotion in the surroundings of the forest.

The three youths who were talking loudly and waving their weapons were startled when they heard their monsters growling. They could hear birds and beasts scattering in the surrounding forest.

Albert tugged on the monster that he was sitting on. He kicked the stomach of the monster and roared, “B*stard, we came out to hunt today. You scared the prey away. Do you want us to return empty-handed?”

Dave said with a benevolent face, “As long as I’m here, we won’t return empty-handed! Don’t make things difficult for these unenlightened animals!”

Albert nodded. Just as he was about to compliment Dave, he suddenly heard an ear-piercing sound behind him. An arrow flew from the depths of the forest and shot directly at Dave, who was in the middle of the three of them.

“Protect His Highness!”

Bowen saw this and immediately roared at the Dark Elves warriors behind him. He twisted his body and jumped up from the back of the monster. He threw Dave to the ground and used Albert’s huge body to sit on the monster. He then blocked all the enemy’s attacks. At the same time, he bought some time for the personal guards to rescue His Highness.

Hundreds of Dark Elves guards rushed forward and surrounded the three noble youths. The leader of the guards ordered in a deep voice, “The first team, search the forest immediately and find the location of the assassins. The rest of you, keep your eyes open. I would rather use your bodies to block them than let His Highness and the two young masters suffer any harm!”

“Yes!”

All the Dark Elves replied in unison as if they were prepared to die at any time.

After seeing this, Vincent, who was on the rock, quickly stopped the curious Avril and Angelina. He whispered to them, “I think the way the assassin attacked just now was somewhat familiar, but it was definitely not a method used by the Dark Elves. So later, we have to split up. If we find traces of the assassin, we must try our best to help. This is regardless of whether he is the elf that we are looking for. Meanwhile, I will continue to wait for an opportunity. As long as the time is right, I will think of a way to sneak into their side. No matter what happens, we will meet at the agreed-upon location on the Tias Mountain Ridge in seven days!”

Angelina and Avril nodded repeatedly and said, “Understood, but you have to be careful!”

At that moment, the first group of the elves had charged into the dense forest not far away.

However, another sharp arrow shot over, piercing through the chests of all the elves. They looked as if they were wearing candied haws.

The ten members of the first group all fell weakly to the ground. They were no longer able to stand up!

After seeing this, the faces of the three youths turned extremely ugly. They were no longer high-spirited like before.

“Shua! Shua!”

The sound of footsteps landing on the withered leaves was heard. A thin and slender female elf with blue and white pupils walked out from the forest. She drew her bow and aimed it at Dave, who was being protected by everyone. She said loudly, “You traitors who have betrayed the Elf King. Every single one of you deserves to die. Today, I will use your lives to complete my final test!”

After hearing this, His Highness Dave, who was lying on the ground, immediately stood up and hid behind the monster. He urged the captain of the guards loudly, “What are you still standing there for? Don’t let her continue to be arrogant. Immediately gather your men and charge at her. No matter how many people you have, you must exhaust her to death!”

“Yes!”

The leader of the guards quickly responded, showing no mercy to his subordinates. In his opinion, these subordinates were prepared to sacrifice everything, including their lives, for the sake of the city lord since the day they took the initiative to become guards!

Finally, under the command of the leader of the guards, hundreds of Dark Elves were divided into different teams. They then charged at the female elf.

“Great Elf King of Thunder, please grant me the power to pierce through everything!”

The female elf chanted in a low voice. She then released the bowstring. The arrows flew at high speed and drew a lightning-like trajectory in the forest. The arrows penetrated all the Dark Elves along the way.

Vincent and the others could not help but be surprised. It seemed that this young female elf was even more powerful than they had imagined!
