Chapter 366: Inquiring for Secrets, a Long Time Ago

After seeing the Demon King’s Groan in Vincent’s hands, Dave knew that the mysterious Dark Elf who had committed murder outside the alley had been eliminated by him. More importantly, the fact that he had secretly hidden the Elf King’s remains would no longer be known by anyone in the future.

“Thank you. In order to get rid of the mysterious Dark Elf, you should have encountered quite a bit of danger, right?” asked Dave.

Vincent smiled and said, “Your Highness, don’t worry about me. Don’t forget that I have extraordinary talent. I can always find a way to kill someone!”

Dave could not help but frown slightly. He looked at Vincent and asked in puzzlement, “Your strength…”

Vincent interrupted Dave’s question and said with a smile, “Your Highness, don’t be curious. I am still a level 25 creature!”

Dave shut his mouth and kept quiet. What he wanted to ask was not about Vincent’s strength, but about Vincent’s identity.

However, Vincent had already answered him through the hint in his words. He was still a level 25 creature, so he would still be a Dark Elf. It was obvious that he would not expose his disguise.

Having said that, Dave instantly stopped talking and looked at Vincent speechlessly.

Vincent smiled and said, “Your Highness, the main purpose of my trip to the Tias Mountains this time is to help you find a suitable weapon. Meeting the mysterious Dark Elf was just an accident, and my real mission has already been completed!”

“A suitable weapon?” asked Dave.

Vincent smiled and took out the ordinary long knife from his storage ring. He handed it to Dave and said, “Your Highness, please take a look. This is the weapon that I found for you!”

Dave held the long knife in his hand and carefully examined it for a while. He could not help but doubt Vincent’s identity even more.

This was because the elves did not have such a weapon. The fact that Vincent was able to find it in the Tias Mountains meant that Vincent’s identity was not only questionable, but he also had his own accomplices, who were currently hiding in the Tias Mountains!

When he thought of the fact that a foreign race had infiltrated the city of Dark Yuan City not long ago and destroyed the statue of Gajero, Vincent’s identity was almost revealed!

However, Vincent was unwilling to him tell the truth, and Dave was willing to believe that Vincent had no ill intentions toward him, so he avoided the topic of identity. Instead, he asked, “This weapon looks very strange and ordinary. I thought you were looking for some divine weapon or sharp blade for me!”

Vincent smiled and said, “This weapon is called a knife. If used properly, its power is far stronger than a sword, and its ability to adapt completely surpasses a staff! It can be said to be a very powerful weapon. His Highness can find a craftsman to use this long knife as a model, select top-grade materials, and forge a divine weapon! And before His Highness’s knife skills are fully mastered, using this ordinary long knife is enough!”

Dave looked at Vincent with a blank expression, muttering, “Knife? Knife skills? What exactly are you trying to teach me?”

Vincent said softly, “It’s a good thing that Your Highness wants to improve on strength. I naturally have to support Your Highness with all of my might! But the power of the Elf Race comes mainly from faith. I am not Gajero so I can’t help Your Highness increase strength from faith, so I can only teach Your Highness some methods that don’t need faith!”

“Don’t need faith, blasphemer!” muttered Dave softly as he looked at Vincent with a shocked expression.

In the Elf Race where faith was paramount, if anyone tried to seek power by leaving their faith, they would be deemed as blasphemers and would be rejected by all elves!

Therefore, when Dave found out that Vincent wanted him to become a blasphemer, he could not help but feel nervous and shocked.

Vincent smiled and comforted the shocked Dave, “I am only teaching Your Highness a method that does not require faith to be able to exert great power. I do not want Your Highness to completely abandon faith. After Your Highness learns the knife technique, you can study it and combine the knife technique and faith into one. When that time comes, Your Highness will definitely gain more!”

Dave looked at Vincent suspiciously. Although his words sounded like he was bewitching him, there was still a voice in his heart telling him that Vincent was trustworthy!

“Alright, then when do we start practicing?” asked Dave as if he was compromising.

Vincent shook his head and said, “There’s no chance at the moment because I have to maintain my injuries in front of others, so we must have a reasonable excuse to find a quiet place to practice! And during this period of time, we might be able to do something else!”

“Something else?” asked Dave. He looked at Vincent in a daze.

Vincent replied with a half-smile, “At the moment, I have not recovered from my serious injuries. At the same time, I have the intention to continue to become a City Patrol Officer. It is inevitable that I will be unable to do what I want. I wonder if Your Highness can condescend to temporarily take charge of the 300 private soldiers under me and help me complete the mission?”

Dave instantly understood. Vincent wanted to use the opportunity to transfer the power in his hands to him. The position of the City Patrol Officer was originally given to Vincent by his father in order to suppress David. Therefore, after he took over as the City Patrol Officer, the mission to suppress David naturally fell into his hands.

After thinking that he could personally punish his sworn enemy, Dave replied without hesitation, “Okay! From today onwards, I will accompany you to patrol the city!”

Vincent nodded and then said to Monica, “Help me prepare a few loose clothes. It would be best if others could see the serious injuries on my body at a glance!”

Monica immediately said, “I will do it right away!”

After Monica left the room, Vincent turned to look at Dave and said softly, “How often does Your Highness go to Hell’s Rose?”

Dave thought that Vincent was worried that he would secretly go to meet Catherine. He quickly said, “I usually go there every two or three days, but I also know that this is not the time for romance. Please rest assured, I can control myself!”

However, Vincent shook his head and said, “What I mean is that Your Highness should continue to go to Hell’s Rose as usual. Otherwise, once the public notices that Your Highness is behaving differently, it will expose Hell’s Rose and Catherine to individuals with ulterior motives!”

After hearing that, Dave could not help but say awkwardly, “Well, let’s go to Hell’s Rose tomorrow then. I also want to see Catherine!”

Vincent smiled and said meaningfully, “I suggested for Your Highness to go to the Hell’s Rose, not just to let you and Catherine meet up privately. I suppose you have also asked Catherine to help you take care of the remains!”

“How do you know?”

Dave could not help but look at Vincent in surprise. When they were dealing with the Elf King’s remains, Vincent and Monica was not by his side. Dave only thought of storing the Elf King’s remains with Catherine after repeatedly pondering and weighing the pros and cons. That was why he did not think that it would be easy for others to guess.

However, Vincent had guessed it so casually.

Vincent smiled slightly and said, “Because I understand Your Highness better than others. You have never doubted those that you have thought of as your own men. Especially after you and Catherine had resolved the knot in your heart, you were even more at ease with her. And at that time, you had to carry out such a dangerous plan. Naturally, you would leave all of your most precious things to Catherine, right?”

Dave looked at Vincent with hesitation. In the end, he could only nod silently and admit that everything Vincent had said was exactly what he had thought.

When Vincent saw this, he could not help but smile and say, “Your Highness, don’t worry. Now that all the dangers have been resolved, you can take the opportunity to visit Catherine in the future and start using the Elf King’s remains to increase your strength. But when the time comes, remember to hide your true strength. Don’t let others notice that you have improved too quickly. This way, at the critical moment, you can still catch your opponent off guard!”

Dave nodded his head repeatedly after hearing this. He was even more in awe of Vincent. Such a plan was equivalent to helping him make plans for the next few years. Dave believed that he would continue to walk in the direction that Vincent led. He would definitely become a strong individual and complete everything that he wanted to do!

“I understand. You can continue to pretend to recuperate! I’ll go back first. Tomorrow, we’ll act together!” said Dave.

Vincent nodded. He looked at Dave’s departing figure and suddenly asked, “Oh right, Your Highness! How many years is this year in the new calendar?”

Dave, who was about to push open the door to leave suddenly stopped. He answered with a surprised look, “This year is the new calendar year 4416!”

Vincent nodded and asked casually, “Then what was the City Lord doing 20 years ago?”

Dave thought for a moment and said helplessly, “I’m only 18 years old this year. How could I know what my father was doing 20 years ago? But I seem to remember that he became the City Lord of Devil Flame City 20 years ago. From then on, my father became one of the world-famous 12 apostles in the Dark Elves World!”

After hearing that, Vincent’s face suddenly revealed a smile of realization. He then said, “Thank you, Your Highness! I’m just curious about the City Lord’s past, in case someone asks about it in the future, I, as the City Patrol Officer under the City Lord, would be speechless if I had not known!”

Dave thought about it and felt that it made sense. After all, this Vincent, who was suspected to be from another race, would meet more dignitaries and generals in the future. It would be troublesome if he revealed any flaws in his words. He then said to Vincent, “In that case, I’ll order someone to send you a record of the history of Devil Flame City. After you’ve seen it, you’ll be able to grasp most of the history of Devil Flame City!”

Vincent smiled and said, “Your Highness is really thoughtful. I’ll thank you in advance!”

Dave nodded and left Vincent’s room.

Vincent, who was sitting alone in the room, took out Jacob’s storage ring once again and continued to look for the follow-up to the diary from 20 years ago. He wanted to explore what they had done back then.

…

At the same time, in the office hall, Miller, who had a terrified look on his face, was kneeling in front of Andre’s desk. He said with a trembling voice, “City Lord! It’s not that I’m afraid of death, but that mysterious Dark Elf was too powerful. I fought and retreated all the way in order to draw the flames of war to the side so as to not cause casualties among the soldiers. It’s not like what they said. I did not leave the soldiers behind alone!”

Andre sat upright on the chair. His gaze was cold as he sized up Miller. He then said in a deep voice, “Just now, Vincent had already returned. Moreover, he was carried back by someone. He was heavily injured and on the verge of death! This is what should have happened when facing that mysterious Dark Elf. You, however, don’t seem to be injured at all. Isn’t that too unreasonable?”

Miller quickly explained, “City Lord, Vincent came back injured because he was not strong enough. He betrayed the City Lord’s trust for nothing. Didn’t you ignore his life and death just now? I came back safe and sound because I used my own strength and tried my best to deal with the mysterious Dark Elf. And because the mysterious Dark Elf was afraid of you, he even revealed some important information to me!”

Andre squinted his eyes at Miller and asked in a deep voice, “What information did he give?”

Miller took a deep breath and said quickly, “He said that he and you are old acquaintances. For your sake, he spared my life! I relied on your prestige, the City Lord, to come back safe and sound!”

Andre could not help but sneer. He naturally did not believe Miller’s words.

If that mysterious Dark Elf was an old acquaintance of his, then he would be able to recognize the other party’s identity when they fought. However, after thinking about it, Andre did not recall that he had ever seen such a Dark Elf.

“He said that he was an old acquaintance of mine. Did he tell you his name?” asked Andre in a sinister tone.

At the same time, the killing intent in his eyes soared. It was as if he was prepared to kill Miller the moment he said his name.

Miller felt chills all over his body. He could only insist, “That mysterious Dark Elf said that what you did back then cannot be recorded in any form, including words. Therefore, his name will no longer appear in this world. He also said that as long as you don’t pursue his whereabouts, he will not come to Demon Flame City to find trouble with you when his strength greatly increases in the future!”

When Andre heard this, the killing intent in his body suddenly dissipated, and his eyes widened in shock.

After so many years, the matter of the past had been brought up once again. Andre suddenly felt as if he had lived two lives!

The terrified Miller felt the surrounding killing intent dissipating. He let out a long sigh of relief. It seemed that the mysterious Dark Elf did not lie to him. He was indeed an old acquaintance of the City Lord. If that was the case, passing on the message to the City Lord could be considered great merit!

Miller laid on the ground and said respectfully, “City Lord, I fought and left with that mysterious Dark Elf along the way. It is very taxing on my body. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first and go back to recuperate on my own!”

However, the purpose of his words was not to leave as soon as possible. Instead, he wanted to remind the City Lord of his merit so that he could receive some rewards.

Andre finally recovered from the shock and said in a deep voice, “Then you can leave first! From tomorrow onwards, you will be a Garrison General at the North City gate! You have been a guard leader for so many years. It is really a waste of your talent!”

After hearing that, Miller hurriedly said, “Thank you for your guidance, City Lord. As long as I can serve you, whatever I do will not be considered a mistake!”

Andre waved his hand, interrupting Miller’s pretense, and gestured for him to leave.

After Miller left happily, Andre sneered. He sat alone in the office and said in a hoarse voice “What a fool! He had let go of the Elf King’s remains. Yet, he thought he had made a great contribution! Do you know why I don’t care about Vincent’s life? Because he is my son’s subordinate, this favor must be remembered by my son. After following me for so many years, he still thinks that I don’t care about my own son. A fool like you really deserves to die!”

His eyes were filled with disgust and disdain.

This was because Miller had been his subordinate for many years. However, he knew nothing about what he was thinking. It really disappointed him!

Andre stood up again and walked straight to the window. He looked at the clouds in the sky and sighed softly, “You were the only one who was still alive, Jacob!”

When the sky gradually darkened, Monica finally bought the clothes Vincent needed. When she returned to the room, she saw Vincent sitting on the bed, flipping through an unknown book in his hand.

Monica asked curiously, “What are you reading?”

Vincent said softly, “Another unknown history book!”

Monica put down the clothes in her hands. She walked to the bedside and asked curiously, “A history that no one knows, can you tell me about it?”

Vincent nodded. He patted the seat beside him and motioned for Monica to sit down.

Monica had never been shy in front of Vincent. She sat beside Vincent with a face full of anticipation, ready to listen to the story.

Vincent closed the book in his hand and said softly, “There was once a person who did almost anything that was evil. As long as there was money to be made, he would even sell his own life! But one day, he received an extremely dangerous mission. The moment he learned of the mission’s contents, he felt that he was dead for sure. However, the offer was too tempting, so he risked his life to carry out the mission. In the process of carrying out the mission, everyone began to die one after another. The one who had done countless evil things was afraid, so he proposed to leave midway. In the end, he was reprimanded and retaliated by the employer. This individual went through a lot of trouble to escape from the hands of the employer. He escaped from the mission. Later, he heard that after he left, everyone who participated in the mission, except for the employer, had died!”

Monica frowned at Vincent and said with disappointment, “What kind of story is this? It’s either bad or dead. It’s not interesting at all!”

Vincent smiled and asked softly, “When you hear these stories, what do you think those individuals died for?”

Monica rested her chin on her hands and thought carefully as she said, “Maybe the place they went was really dangerous, or maybe after the job was done, the employer killed everyone, or maybe even the employer died at that time, but the main purpose of the mission was to bring them back to life, so the employer was resurrected and reappeared in front of everyone!”

Vincent shook his head and said with a smile, “I admire your idea, very creative!”
