Chapter 351: The Ninth Underground Floor

Chapter 351: The Ninth Underground Floor

Vincent nodded indifferently after hearing Dave’s introduction.

Vincent was not interested in the ancient secrets of the elves. Moreover, when it came to the ancient secrets, Vincent knew way more than Dave anyway.

This was because he had obtained the immortal skull from Jackson. Not only did he absorbed a large amount of pure psionic energy, but he also obtained many ancient secrets that existed in the depths of the level 90 creature’s memory fragments.

Among them were the locations of some ancient treasures, as well as some knowledge regarding the identification of ancient equipment!

However, at that time, Vincent was busy preparing to leave the capital of Ultimate Evil. After escaping the capital of Ultimate Evil, he continued to flee without stopping. In the end, in order to find Avril and Angelina, he had come to the Elf World. There was simply no place for him to display the knowledge he had obtained from the immortal skull.

As for the treasures, Vincent did not have the opportunity to verify them one by one for the time being.

However, the auction that was about to happened was indeed a good place for Vincent to enrich his experience!

The lift finally came to a slow stop, and they arrived at the deepest part of Hell’s Rose, the ninth-floor auction venue!

Vincent pulled Monica to stand up and subconsciously turned his head to look around. He suddenly realized that the space around him was no longer a layer of rocks but a gloomy and empty space.

There seemed to be a lot of space around and below the elevator. They were far from reaching the bottom.

After getting up, Dave could see the surprise in Vincent’s eyes. He smiled and said, “Don’t look. The ninth floor is already very deep in the earth. Even the Dark Elves powerhouses are not able to continue exploring further down. Therefore, no one knows how deep this cave is until now!”

Vincent touched his nose and asked thoughtfully, “Has no one fallen down after all these years?”

After hearing what Vincent had said, Dave suddenly laughed out loud, “Yes, of course! Almost every year, there will be one or two incidents where someone falls into the abyss. But what’s even more frustrating is that no matter how powerful the person who fell was, no one has climbed back up!”

After hearing that, Vincent hurriedly pulled Monica to the center of the lift platform and said, “Then let’s go to the middle. It’s safer that way!”

Dave smiled slightly and walked out of the lift with Catherine. Vincent and Monica followed closely behind.

The decorations on the ninth floor were the most luxurious among all floors. At the same time, the Dark Elves that gathered there seemed to have higher statuses. Whether it was the clothes they wore or the way they talked and behaved, it could be seen that they were either rich or noble. They were definitely influential figures in Devil Flame City.

Catherine did not bring Dave into the hall. Instead, she raised her hand and gently knocked on the wall of the corridor. In an instant, a secret door popped out. She then led Dave through the secret door, avoiding the messy crowd in the hall.

Vincent and Monica naturally followed behind them obediently. Soon, they arrived at a spacious and comfortable room.

Inside the room, there was a luxurious sofa, as well as all kinds of exquisite wine utensils. There was also a curtain inside the room.

Behind the curtain was an even smaller room. There was only a sofa for two. It was obviously designed to facilitate private conversations.

There were no walls facing the seats. There was only a floor-to-ceiling window. One could clearly see the auction stage below and the common seating area for the bidders to sit.

Dave turned to look at Vincent and pointed at the small cubicle.

“The two of you sit inside. The curtains here are special. As long as you close the curtains, no sounds could be heard from the outside. It will be convenient for you to have a good exchange!”

After saying that, Dave gave Vincent a smile that was full of hints.

Monica could not help but lower her head nervously and worriedly. She did not dare to imagine the consequences of being alone with Vincent.

Vincent looked at how thoughtful Dave was toward him and could not help but say awkwardly, “Then I thank Your Highness for your good intentions!”

After saying that, Vincent brought Monica into the small room and closed the curtains.

The space in the small room was not big. After Monica entered, she did not dare to turn around to look at Vincent who was behind her. She could only lean against the wall and sat in the corner of the sofa.

Vincent walked to Monica’s side with a calm expression. He leaned against her body and sat down. He then raised his right hand in front of Monica.

Monica did not dare to raise her head. She looked at Vincent’s palm in a daze. She did not know what he was trying to do.

Vincent smiled slightly and said softly, “Modify the isolation!”

As Vincent spoke, Monica could see Vincent’s palm light up. It was a sparkling and resplendent light.

It was another power that did not belong to the Demon Race!

Monica was now certain that Vincent was definitely not a Dark Elf. However, Vincent still dared to display his power so fearlessly in front of her. It was likely that he wanted to kill her!

After killing her, Vincent only needed to go out and tell His Highness Dave that she was unwilling to cooperate with him and that he had accidentally killed her. She believed that His Highness Dave would not blame him.

Although Lady Catherine had watched Monica grow up from a young age and had taken great care of her, she would not pursue those who were close to His Highness Dave for the sake of her life.

The crystal light on Vincent’s palm slowly spread out and formed a light membrane that enveloped the small room.

Monica finally stood up in a state of anxiety and shouted loudly, “Help! Lady Catherine! His Highness Dave! This person is not a Dark Elf at all. Save me!”

Vincent looked at the hysterical Monica. However, he did not stop her. Instead, he leaned back slightly to give Monica enough space. He laid on the armrest on the other side of the sofa and looked quietly at Monica who was panicking.

Dave had already said that once the curtains were closed, it would have the effect of isolating sound. Vincent was worried that Dave was testing him, so he used his authority to isolate the sound in the room again. This way, the sound would not leak out.

As he had further enhance the safety of the room, even if Monica shouted until her throat burst, no one would be able to hear her!

Monica shouted several times, but no one responded to her. Meanwhile, Vincent did not have any intention of stopping her. Instead, he just laid there comfortably and looked at her with a playful expression. Monica finally shut her mouth and looked at him with an awkward expression. She stood close to the wall in the corner, not knowing what to do.

Vincent looked at Monica with a smile and asked very considerately, “Have you shouted enough? Do you want to shout a few more times?”

Monica quickly shook her head.

Vincent pointed to the empty seat on the sofa and said, “Since you don’t want to shout anymore, sit down and rest. I have something to talk to you about!”

Monica could tell that Vincent did not intend to kill her to silence her. Instead, he seemed to want to negotiate with her. Not only did she let out a sigh of relief, but she also carefully sat on the sofa.

Vincent sat up and looked out of the window. He said calmly, “I believe you can see that I’m not a Dark Elf at all!”

Monica subconsciously nodded, but suddenly shook her head with a face of fear. She wanted to let Vincent know that she did not know his background.

Vincent did not turn to look at Monica, but he could guess her reaction. He smiled and continued, “Don’t even think about denying it. Since I am certain that you have discovered my true identity, then no matter how much you deny it, it will be useless. There is a saying that it is better to kill by mistake than to let it go. Haven’t you heard of it?”

Monica’s face turned pale again. She was thinking to herself that was meant to happen would naturally happen. It seemed that she would not be able to escape death today. She closed her eyes as if she had resigned to fate. She was waiting for Vincent to kill her.

Vincent ignored Monica. He continued to talk to himself, “Actually, I’m not an elf. To you, I’m just a foreign race who sneaked into the Dark Elves world! Not long ago, a high priest in Dark Yuan City died at the hands of a foreign race. That was me! I destroyed the statue of Gajero and burned the whole altar to the ground. Finally, I succeeded in killing the high priest when he wanted to kill me. In order to avoid being killed, I could only disguise myself as a Dark Elf and sneak into Devil Flame City. Currently, there are only two elves who are close to me. One of them is His Highness Dave, and the other one is you. Once my identity is exposed, both of you will be buried alongside with me!”

Monica, who had closed her eyes and was prepared to die, immediately fell unconscious after hearing Vincent’s narration.

Vincent then turned his head to look at Monica. He did not expect that his words would actually scare the girl into fainting.

He extended his right hand and crossed his index and middle fingers together. He leaned in front of the girl’s head and flicked it lightly.

“Pa!”

With a crisp sound, a red mark instantly appeared on Monica’s forehead.

With Vincent’s current strength, no matter how gentle his attacks were, the damage he caused was not something that an ordinary person could withstand. Monica woke up from the sudden pain.

Monica opened her eyes and muttered, “Am I dead?”

However, she realized that she was still sitting in the small room. Vincent was sitting beside her. She could not help but cry in despair and grievance.

Vincent looked at the weeping Monica and could not help but ask, “Aren’t you elves allowed to die for the God you believe in? Why didn’t you choose to fight me to the death after you heard that I had insulted Gajero?”

Monica knew that she would not be able to escape from Vincent’s clutches today. She immediately mustered up all her courage and looked at Vincent. She was still sobbing as she said, “Because I’m afraid of death! Every elf believes in God for different reasons and demands. I believe in God because I hope that he can bless me to live in peace and not die in the hands of bad creatures!”

Vincent nodded, smiled and sighed, “What a simple idea! But look at now, if I wanted to kill you, Gajero can’t save you! So why don’t you change your belief? I guarantee that you can live a long life!”

At this time, Monica was like a sick person seeking for help. She was no longer afraid of Vincent, and asked curiously, “Change, who would it be?”

“Me!” said Vincent without hesitation.

Monica wanted to roll her eyes when she heard that, but she did not dare to do it. She could only look at Vincent speechlessly.

Vincent said seriously, “From today onwards, you shall treat me like a god, and follow behind me like a good maid. When I finish what I want to do, I will leave Devil Flame City. At that time, you will be free, how about it?”

Monica was stunned when she heard that. It was said that true believers could only be seen in the face of disaster, and when danger came, they could also be recruited by a God that was more reliable.

Monica realized that Gajero would not save her at this time. However, Vincent seemed to be able to satisfy her desire to live!

Monica asked with tears on her face, “Is what you said true? Are you not lying to me?”

Vincent raised his hand to gently wipe the tears off Monica’s face. He said with a smile, “I have a grudge with Gajero. I will kill whoever has a firm belief in him. But your belief in Gajero is really sloppy. Why should I kill you?”

Monica trembled under Vincent’s large hands. She could not help but ask back, “Aren’t you afraid that I will expose your identity?”

Vincent casually slid his hand down from her face and grabbed her neck. He whispered softly, “When you try to betray me, I can still kill you in time. Why are you so anxious at this moment? Do you not agree with me?”

Monica could feel that Vincent had exerted force on her. She quickly nodded and said, “Yes, yes, yes. As long as you can give me freedom, I will never betray you. Please believe me!”

Vincent smiled and let go of his hand. He nodded and said, “Okay, I believe you! From now on, not only will you be my maid, but you will also have to continue to cooperate with me. I don’t need to say more about the specific things that you need to do, right?”

Monica nodded repeatedly and said, “I understand! In front of outsiders, I am your woman!”

Vincent nodded his head in satisfaction. A girl who had lived in Hell’s Rose for so long must be someone with a sharp mind. Vincent did not have to explain much to her. She knew what to do.

The small room gradually quieted down. Vincent and Monica soon fell into silence.

After feeling a little bored, Vincent looked out at the auction stage below. After seeing that the auction had not officially started, he turned to look at the room outside the curtains. He asked thoughtfully, “I noticed that the relationship between Dave and Catherine is not ordinary. How much do you know?”

Monica, who was silent, quickly came back to her senses. She replied, “Lady Catherine once told us that a few years ago, Hell’s Rose experienced a drastic change. Someone wanted to occupy the fifth floor and even threatened Lady Catherine to marry him. In the end, it was His Highness Dave who had secretly stopped the disturbance and drove the troublemakers out of Devil Flame City! From then on, His Highness Dave became Lady Catherine’s benefactor!”

Vincent sighed thoughtfully, “Is this a hero saving a damsel in distress? But the age difference between them is a little too big! Could it be that His Highness Dave lacked motherly love from a young age?”

Monica shook her head repeatedly and said, “Their relationship is not what you think. Lady Catherine once said that the one she was most grateful for in her life was not His Highness Dave, however, the one she was most afraid of was His Highness, Dave!”

Vincent frowned slightly and asked curiously, “Although His Highness is the son of the City Lord, he does not have any real power in his hands. Moreover, his father does not really love him. Why should Catherine be afraid of him?”

Monica thought for a moment. She then imitated Catherine’s tone and said, “It is common for rich children to have deep thoughts about the world. However, there is only one rich child in the world who can deceive everyone by disguising himself! The more the child pretends in front of someone, the less important that person is to him. On the contrary, the more he confesses in front of someone, the more he can’t tolerate that person betraying him. This is because he sees that person as his personal property!”

Vincent could not help but nod, thinking that this comment was very pertinent to his evaluation of Dave. This meant that when Dave faced Catherine, he must have revealed his true colors and made Catherine afraid of him.

Monica raised her head to look at Vincent, she looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Vincent noticed Monica’s strange behavior and immediately said, “If you want to say something, then say it!”

Monica pursed her lips and said carefully, “Just now, judging by His Highness Dave’s attitude toward you, it seems that he also treats you the way he treats Lady Catherine!”

“Cough, cough!”

Vincent could not help but cough. Only after Monica’s reminder did he realize that Dave really treated him like his personal property. He no longer pretended to be a playboy in front of him. Instead, he revealed his true feelings to him and talked about his beliefs, as well as his plans for the future of Devil Flame City.

After thinking about it, Vincent could not help but feel a little helpless.

If Dave realized that he was deceiving him one day, it would probably be a big blow to him. It seemed that it was necessary to make some preparations in advance in order for Dave to accept his old identity.

After all, it was rare for a young man who believed in Gajero to still want peace for the Elf Race. If nurtured properly, he would definitely become an important figure in the revival of the Elf Race in the future!

Vincent leaned against the sofa and sighed softly, “It seems that my understanding of the Elf Race’s faith was too one-sided! I did not understand that everyone actually had different purposes to believe in the gods. Some simply wanted to live, while some firmly believed that the gods could bring them the peace that they wanted. There are also some who want to seize more and more power. If that’s the case, the Elf Race can still be saved!”

After hearing Vincent’s sigh, Monica’s eyes were full of confusion. She did not understand the meaning behind Vincent’s words. However, she could vaguely feel that Vincent’s real purpose was to change the fate of the entire Elf Race.

Monica asked with a perturbed face, “What will you do to the Elf Race?”

Vincent turned to Monica and said with a smile, “Just like what I did to you, I plan to give the entire Elf Race a chance to choose a new faith! If we cannot change things peacefully and they don’t want to repent, then we can only fight to the death!”
