Chapter 422: Persuaded the Elder and Waited for the News

“Jessica is dead?”

Cameron looked at Dave with a face full of shock. He could not believe that what he said was true.

Dave nodded and said, “Not only Jessica, but Andre is also dead! And I was a witness of that great battle. Now, I have become the City Lord of Devil Flame City. Serene Spring City is in turmoil. If you don’t step out in time, I’m afraid that more innocent elves will die tragically!”

Cameron looked at Dave with a profound gaze, sneered, and said, “Let’s not talk about how an elf like you can become the City Lord of Devil Flame City. With your weak strength, how can you kill two apostles? You are just trying to use your flowery words to take advantage of the internal chaos in Serene Spring City. I will never cooperate with you!”

After seeing that Cameron was so insistent, Dave could not help but turn to Melissa and say, “Other than this old man, is there anyone else? With his timid and suspicious character, it is really difficult for him to take on such a big responsibility. If it was not for your sake, I would really like to beat him up!”

Melissa gave Dave a stern look to stop his impulse. She then turned to Cameron and said, “Lord Cameron, now is not the time to be entangled in faith. The elves of Serene Spring City are now prostrating themselves under the butcher’s knife. We must think of all ways to save our elves. Even if it’s other elves, what’s the harm in cooperating? Do we have to watch so many civilians die tragically?”

Cameron was speechless by Melissa’s question. After hesitating for a while, he still replied, “No!”

He said stubbornly, “You’re too extreme, too radical! If what this elf says is false, your actions will really put everyone in a desperate situation. I can wait for Jessica or Darren to come back, negotiate with them, and convince them to put down the butcher’s knife. I can still save most of their lives!”

Melissa looked at the naive Cameron and did not know how to dissuade him. She could only hold her forehead and sigh as she paced on the spot.

Dave took a step forward and grabbed Cameron’s collar. He said coldly, “When Darren comes back, he won’t listen to anything you say. He will directly give the order to kill all the elves in Serene Spring City! This is because he is looking for a way to steal the Origin Divine Earth. As long as he finds the Origin Divine Earth and offers it to the demons, he can become the new apostle. Plus, the task given to the apostles by the demons is to kill all the elves after draining all the Origin Divine Earth! If you want to negotiate with the demons, I won’t stop you, but you can’t let all the residents in the city take this risk with you!”

“What? The Origin Divine Earth!”

Cameron looked at Dave in shock. He did not expect the young Dark Elf in front of him to know so many high-level secrets of the Elf Race. At the same time, his eyes were filled with worry and nervousness for the first time.

Dave took a deep breath and explained slowly, “The previous City Lord of Devil Flame City, Andre, was my father. I used to be a Dark Elf too. However, I saw Andre extract the Origin Divine Earth and offer it to Gajero with my own eyes. As a result, Bright Moon City has been reduced to ruins. If we didn’t stop him in time, Devil Flame City would have been reduced to hell by now! Jessica wanted to find the place where Andre collected the Origin Divine Earth and expose his whereabouts. That’s why she died tragically in the ruins of Bright Moon City. If you don’t believe me, I can bring you to Bright Moon City and let you see for yourself how the Origin Divine Earth was extracted!”

Cameron could not help but retreat in shock after hearing what Dave said. Even Melissa was stunned when she heard the deal between the twelve apostles and Gajero.

“You said that you found out that Andre was collecting the Origin Divine Earth and Jessica wanted to seize the opportunity to fight for it. After you found out about all of this, you killed your father and Jessica? This scenario is too terrifying. I really can’t accept it!”

Cameron seemed to have aged ten years at that moment. He shook his head and sighed. He was a Dark Elf who was loyal to his faith. So far, he still had enmity toward Dave and good intentions toward Jessica.

However, Dave’s words stimulated Cameron deeply. In fact, Dave did not actually point out the evidence of Jessica seizing the Origin Divine Earth and betraying the entire Elf Race.

Cameron did!

He was once a minister of Serene Spring City and had handled many government affairs for Jessica. One of the things that left the deepest impression on Cameron was Jessica’s order for him to prepare a detailed map of the terrain within Serene Spring City’s sphere of influence. Moreover, she had also asked him to calibrate the location and density of the Origin Divine Trees’ growth in previous years.

At that time, Cameron thought that it was not an important matter, so he handled it a little slower. In the end, he was met with Jessica’s wrath and could only stay up for a few days and nights to draw the map. Not long after that incident, Jessica became one of the famous twelve apostles!

Cameron had never understood the significance of the map to Jessica. However, after thinking about it, he finally figured out that Jessica might have been able to use the density of the Origin Divine Tree to deduce the location where the Origin Divine Earth was located. She could then use the geographical situation to find the lowest point and dig deep into the Origin Divine Earth. It was very possible!

Any elves that had not completely lost their rationality and hearts would understand that seizing the Origin Divine Earth was the most unforgivable thing. It was also the only other bottom line above an elf’s faith. Draining the Origin Divine Earth was equivalent to destroying the Elf World. Without the earth and sky that they relied on to survive, the Elf Race could only walk toward extinction. This was an outcome that Cameron absolutely did not want to face.

After seeing Cameron’s eyes gradually becoming cloudy, Dave shook him hard twice. He shouted loudly, “Now is not the time for you to be in a daze. You have to make a decision quickly and lead the residents of Serene Spring City to seal the city gates. Only then can we rest assured and search for Darren’s traces!”

Cameron gradually came back to his senses after Dave’s reminder. He slowly turned his head to look at Melissa as if he was asking for her opinion. This was because Cameron still could not believe the words of Dave who had different beliefs from him.

Melissa nodded and said firmly, “Dave is definitely not talking nonsense. We all know in our hearts that everything we saw and experienced is completely consistent with what he said. Jessica and Darren are the accomplices of Gajero’s destruction of the Elf world. We must act now, both to protect ourselves and to protect this world!”

Cameron sighed hesitantly, “If the Origin Divine Earth is sucked dry, not only will the Elf World be completely paralyzed, but the Origin Divine Tree will also be completely extinct. When the last Origin Divine Tree withers, the Elf Race will be on the verge of extinction. This is a secret that has been passed down since ancient times, and every member of the Elf Race knows about it. No matter how crazy Andre and Jessica are, they will not dig their own graves. How can I believe that they will steal the Origin Divine Earth and use it to please the gods?”

Dave shouted impatiently, “The twelve apostles have already received rewards from Gajero. They can get rid of their elf identity at any time and transform into demons! We killed Andre and Jessica when they were demons. After giving up their elf bloodline and identity, they can no longer be considered as members of the Elf Race, nor are they our relatives and compatriots. Instead, they are invaders who want to destroy the Elf World!”

After hearing what Dave said, Melissa immediately thought of something. She quickly said, “Every Dark Elf above level 40 will have the demonized form given by Gajero, but Jessica seems to have never used this ability. Even when she wants to publicize her strength, she only uses arrays and spells. It’s very likely that her demonized form will cause her to become a demon forever, so she did not dare to use it lightly!”

After listening to Melissa’s analysis, Cameron could not help but nod repeatedly. He finally relaxed and said, “Alright, I believe you. I will immediately contact the nobles in the city and my students in the army. I will lead everyone to close the city gates immediately and not let Darren and any soldiers step through the city gate!”

Dave let out a long sigh of relief. He turned to Melissa and said, “You accompany the old man to contact the others. I will continue to patrol around the city to stop the remainder of Darren’s subordinates!”

Melissa nodded and replied, “Okay!”

She then took Cameron and left quickly. They walked straight to the other end of the street.

The nobles in Serene Spring City lived in the East District, so they were not too far from the Cameron family. Melissa and Cameron quickly contacted many nobles who held important positions. After a round of explanations, they won the trust of everyone successfully.

Everyone began to mobilize their own energy and called for their subordinates and residents to close the city gates in all four directions. They also gathered a temporary army to guard the city gates tightly to prevent Darren from suddenly leading his troops back to attack them.

Dave held his knife in one hand and wandered around Serene Spring City again and again. He was acting as a patrolling general to maintain law and order. He also comforted all the ordinary residents that he met along the way. However, these were not the most important things to Dave at that moment. What he wanted to know the most was when Vincent would be able to return to the surface!

Dave muttered with a face full of expectation, “The matters above ground have been settled, Vincent. Now it’s up to you to find Darren’s whereabouts!”

…

In the rock layer 50,000 meters below Dave’s feet, High Priest Sophia was crawling with difficulty. The demonic aura protecting her body had become very dim, and her speed to open up a path had slowed down to a pitiful degree.

However, she did not dare to stop, because she knew that a pair of eyes had been staring at her from behind.

“My physical strength will soon be exhausted, but I still can’t see the ground. It seems that I’m really going to die!”

Sophia sighed helplessly in her heart. The demonic aura on the surface of her body slowly dissipated, directly exposing her to the soil. The heavy pressure instantly suffocated Sophia. At the same time, the fear of death had also spread to her heart.
