Chapter 383: Prepare the Forging Knife and Find the Craftsman

Ebenezer caught the key that Monica threw at him. He proceeded to help Harson and Daniel to break free from the chains on their bodies. He helped them out of the cage.

When Harson and Daniel were locked up in Hell’s Rose, they were constantly given food mixed with poison to suppress their psionic power. Harson and Daniel were very weak at that moment. If it was not for Ebenezer’s help, they would not have been able to even stand up.

Ebenezer reached out to support Daniel. He looked at his broken arm and could not help but ask, “What did you do to your arm?”

Daniel did not answer him. Instead, he raised his head to look at Vincent.

Ebenezer turned to look at Vincent and asked in confusion, “Master?”

Vincent said in a deep voice, “He wanted to ambush me. Naturally, I have to teach him a lesson!”

Ebenezer did not say anything more after hearing that. Although his race was important to him, his master was more important. No matter what, he would always stand on his master’s side!

However, when he saw the conflict between his own clansmen and his master, Ebenezer could not help but feel a little awkward.

Harson, who was at the side, quickly said to Ebenezer, “Daniel’s arm is also suffering from a hidden illness. He crushed Daniel’s arm out of goodwill. After all, we shadow demons are not afraid of breaking our limbs!”

Ebenezer immediately raised his head and looked at Vincent with excitement. It seemed that his master was not angry at Daniel. Instead, he was helping him out of goodwill!

Vincent smiled slightly and said, “Take the two of them to rest first. When their strength has almost recovered, bring them to see me!”

“Yes, Master!”

Ebenezer nodded and left with Harson and Daniel.

After seeing Ebenezer and the others leave, Dave, who had been watching from the side, could not help but turn to Vincent and say, “If there is such a matter in the future, can you discuss it with me first? It is a great shock for me to see so many foreign races all of a sudden!”

The Dark Elves had always been very resistant to foreign races due to their faith. Thus, seeing foreign races was like seeing an enemy. If it was not for Vincent, Dave would have rushed out and called for soldiers to come in.

Vincent said softly, “It was inconvenient in Devil Flame City previously, so I did not tell Your Highness. It won’t happen again in the future!”

Dave nodded and said, “What should we do now? Should we go back to the city or wait for these shadow demons to recover?”

Vincent thought for a moment and asked, “Your Highness, are you willing to leave this mansion to the three shadow demons?”

Dave hesitated for a moment and said, “This is the mansion I gave to Catherine. If others find out that we have foreign races here, I’m afraid that it will bring trouble to Catherine!”

Vincent shook his head and said confidently, “Your Highness, don’t worry. The biggest advantage of the Shadow Demon Race is that they are very good at concealing themselves. As long as we take our soldiers and leave, no one will discover their existence! After they have recovered from their injuries, they will leave on their own and head to the Tias Mountain Range to meet up with Horace and the others!”

After hearing Vincent’s firm tone, Dave said, “Since you have said so, then I have nothing to worry about. Let’s return to the city! Now that Miller is dead, the position of the North City general is available. If we return late, we will not be able to help you fight for the position!”

Vincent smiled and said, “No rush! The position of the North City general will not be filled in such a short period of time. We can stay here for another two days. It is just enough time for us to help Your Highness increase some strength!”

Dave was startled and hurriedly asked, “Oh? Are you prepared to show me other methods?”

Vincent shook his head and said, “Your Highness hasn’t fully mastered the knife skills yet. As long as Your Highness cultivates diligently, there’s no need to cultivate other abilities!”

Dave replied somewhat disappointedly, “My knife is already broken, how can I cultivate?”

Vincent walked to the front of the prison cage and picked up the meteorite gold chains. He said softly, “These chains are all made of meteorite. As long as they are reforged, they can be used to make a more solid knife. Your Highness, why don’t you invite a craftsman to the mansion to help you make a treasured knife? That way, you will be able to increase your strength and rise to another level!”

After hearing what Vincent had said, Dave immediately had a yearning in his heart. He hurriedly replied, “Good idea! How do I find a good craftsman?”

Vincent turned to Monica and said softly, “You’ll go and look for His Highness! Go to Hell’s Rose and find an auctioneer. Ask him to introduce the best craftsman to you and then bring him here. I will have the 300 soldiers escort you all the way there!”

Monica looked at Vincent with some apprehension. She had just left Hell’s Rose not long ago. She had never gone anywhere alone without Vincent.

As Vincent had given such an important task to her, she could not help but worry that she would fail.

Dave looked at Monica and nodded.

He said, “Monica is your person. Even if the other Dark Elves guessed that it has something to do with you and me, it would not be considered too important. So, it would not attract attention!”

Vincent also nodded. Even he himself had the same thoughts.

Monica noticed that both Vincent and His Highness were so optimistic about her. She could only suppress the anxiety and worry in her heart and said carefully, “I will do my best to complete His Highness’s mission!”

Dave looked at Monica with some hesitation. After hesitating for a moment, he turned to Vincent and said, “Since we are going to invite the craftsman of Hell’s Rose, why not let Monica find the auctioneer on the ninth floor? After that, she can go directly to the fifth floor to find Catherine!”

Vincent smiled and said, “First of all, if everything we do is related to Catherine, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of others! More importantly, there is an even more important person than the auctioneer on the ninth floor. His identity and strength are even greater than Catherine’s, and he can help us to find an even more outstanding craftsman!”

Dave was startled after hearing that. He frowned and asked, “Even more important than Catherine? The Boss of Hell’s Rose!”

Vincent nodded. He then told Dave about how he and Monica had met Myron.

“Myron! Did you just say that Hell’s Rose’s boss is Myron? He’s actually still alive!”

When Dave heard the name of Hell’s Rose’s boss, he could not help but sigh in shock.

After seeing Dave’s reaction, Vincent knew that he must have missed some important news. He could not help but ask, “Why? Do you know Myron?”

Dave looked at Vincent in confusion, as if he was surprised that he did not know Myron. However, Dave suddenly remembered that Vincent was not a Dark Elf. He would not understand the history of Devil Flame City. Dave immediately felt relieved.

“I forgot that you are not a Dark Elf at all, and Monica has never left Hell’s Rose since she was young, so naturally she would not have heard of Myron’s name. But anyone who knows the history of Devil Flame City knows the name Myron because he was the previous City Lord of Devil Flame City. He was supposedly killed when my father took office. I did not expect him to be alive until now, and he even became the boss of Hell’s Rose!”

“This is…”

Vincent was instantly stunned on the spot. This was because he suddenly realized that he might have exposed a flaw during his meeting with Myron. Myron might have picked up that he lacked an understanding of the history of Devil Flame City. It was possible that he had aroused Myron’s suspicion.

However, even if an old City Lord that was ousted by Andre could come back from the dead, how big of a wave can he actually cause?

Vincent knew that Andre was the only one worth being wary of. Myron was far from being a threat to him so he said, “I didn’t think that there would be such a secret about Myron, but he can not show his face in public, or Andre would not let him go. Therefore, we don’t have to worry about whether he will leak our matter out. I believe that no one wants to see a situation where we perish together!”

Dave could only nod his head and put down the fear in his heart temporarily when he heard what Vincent had said. He fell silent.

Vincent seemed to have seen through Dave’s worries. He turned to Monica and said, “You were from the fifth floor. Catherine has taken good care of you before. After you meet Myron, you can go back to have a look around. It won’t raise any suspicion. When the time comes, don’t forget to greet Catherine on behalf of His Highness Dave!”

“Yes!” replied Monica whilst nodding.

After all, the fifth floor was the place that she was most familiar with. Going back there was like going home.

After seeing that Vincent had seen through his thoughts, Dave could not help but raise his head in embarrassment and smile at Vincent.

Vincent then said, “I will arrange for the soldiers outside to escort Monica away!”

Dave nodded and said, “Alright!”

Monica followed behind Vincent obediently, her face full of nervousness and reluctance.

Vincent walked out of the mansion and reminded Monica softly, “After you return to the city, try to act as arrogant as possible. Remember that you were assigned by His Highness and me to go back. There are also 300 soldiers accompanying you to protect you. Other than the City Lord, no one would dare to disrespect you! And the more arrogant you act, the safer you will be, understand?”

Monica nodded slightly and said, “Yes! If I act carefully, others will suspect that what I am going to do is very important. On the contrary, if I act very arrogant, the others will think that I am not good enough to be placed in an important position! They will just think that I am using my connections to intimidate others.”

Vincent nodded and praised, “Smart!”

Monica lowered her head shyly and did not respond to Vincent with her usually fierce tone.

This was because Monica was really timid. In order to survive, she had changed her faith because of Vincent. She, who initially believed in Gajero had become a maid who only trusted Vincent.

As the elves were very devout in their faith, the current Vincent was like a god in Monica’s eyes. To be praised by God was naturally a very lucky and beautiful thing.

Vincent did not notice the changes in Monica’s personality. He just waved his hand and called a few squad leaders in the camp to come over.

The few squad leaders asked respectfully, “Sir Vincent, what instructions do you have?”

Vincent said in a deep voice, “You are in charge of protecting Monica during her return back to the Devil Flame City. Then, you will patrol the city once more. When Monica wants to return, you will send her back! You must pay attention to protecting her safety, but you must not stop her from doing what she wants to do!”

The group of squad leaders heard Vincent’s order and quickly answered him in unison, “Yes!”

They then called for their soldiers to pack up. They were preparing to return to the city.

Monica turned her head reluctantly to look at Vincent. She then set off under the protection of the soldiers.

Vincent watched Monica leave. After that, he returned to the mansion and saw Dave waiting for him. He smiled and said, “Let’s rest for today! Tomorrow morning, I believe that someone will come to forge a new knife for Your Highness. At that time, there will also be someone to accompany Your Highness to practice his knife skills!”

Dave asked curiously, “Accompany me to practice my knife? It won’t be you, right?”

Vincent shook his head and said, “The difference in strength between us is too big. If I accompany you to practice your knife, I won’t be of much help to you!”

After hearing that, Dave could not help but ask curiously, “Then who could it be?”

Vincent smiled and said mysteriously, “Your Highness will know when the time comes!”

Dave could only give up after hearing that. After bidding farewell to Vincent, he turned around and returned to his room.

Vincent also returned to his room. He took out the space tunnel token, closed his eyes, and said softly, “Modify the projection!”

A screen instantly lit up above the token and formed a light screen in front of Vincent. It showed the situation inside the space tunnel.

Vincent opened his eyes and looked at the Zerg that was abnormally violent inside the space tunnel.

He saw that the space tunnel was already covered in spiderwebs. The tunnel that could only accommodate one aircraft had widened by a lot due to the corrosion of the spiderwebs.

What was even more unexpected to Vincent was that the mucus on the spiderwebs had actually smoothened the surroundings of the tunnel. The refraction of the outside world on the tunnel walls had also become much clearer. It seemed that as long as there was enough time, the Zerg could make the space tunnel look even more perfect. Not only could it allow the aircraft to pass by freely, but one could also see the movements of the real space outside the tunnel clearly.

After thinking about it, Vincent could not help but sigh, “What a pity! According to my plan, this Zerg cannot be locked inside the space tunnel for too long. It seems that I can only wait until I kill it in the future. Only then can I remove its silk gland and use it as a tool to modify the space tunnel!”

After confirming the state of the Zerg, Vincent felt relieved. He then put away the space token and laid on the bed to sleep.

Finally, there was no Monica fighting with him for the same bed. Vincent slept very comfortably that night. He did not wake up until the sky was bright.

“Vincent, wake up quickly!”

While he was still half asleep, Monica’s voice had reached his ears, causing him to wake up instantly.

After waking up, Vincent saw Monica standing in front of him. For a moment, he was not sure if he was awake or still dreaming. He hurriedly asked, “Didn’t you go to Devil Flame City? Why did you come back so quickly?”

Monica nodded. She smiled and said, “I returned to the city yesterday evening. Then I went to Hell’s Rose to find the auctioneer and asked him to take me to meet Myron. After Myron heard my request, he did not say anything and immediately agreed! Things went very smoothly. I rushed back overnight!”

Vincent rubbed his eyes and listened to Monica’s explanation. He could not help but ask, “What about Catherine? Did you check on her for His Highness?”

Monica’s smile became even more smug. She pulled him up from the bed. As they walked out of the door, she said, “Come with me. You’ll know when you see her!”

Vincent was dragged out of the room by Monica. They passed through the mansion’s courtyard and headed straight towards the backyard.

Although the mansion that Dave had prepared for Catherine was simple, it had all the necessary facilities, including a simple forging room in the backyard.

Vincent was dragged by Monica all the way to the forging room!

At that moment, inside the forging room, Dave was describing the shape of a knife to a burly craftsman. However, the craftsman who had never seen a knife before found it hard to accept the weapon that Dave had described. His face was still blank.

And beside Dave stood Catherine!

If it was not for Catherine comforting Dave, he would have already started fighting with the craftsman.

“Your Highness Dave, the weapon you described sounds more like a failed version of a sword! As a qualified craftsman, I would not bother to forge such a broken weapon. Your meteorite chain is indeed a good material. I can use it to forge a treasured sword for you. Why don’t you consider it?” asked the tall craftsman seriously.

Dave retorted angrily, “I don’t want a sword! I want you to forge a knife! A knife!”

The craftsman scratched his head. He had a troubled look on his face. He was unwilling to forge a knife for his enemy because he felt that it would affect his reputation in the future.

Vincent listened at the door for a long time and finally understood the craftsman’s concern. He walked up and said, “A knife is a weapon that is different from a sword. It is not a broken sword. The knife that I asked you to forge will bring about a revolution in weapons for all the Dark Elves. If this knife shines in the future, your name will become famous! And it will be all thanks to this weapon!”

After seeing that Vincent had arrived, Dave could not help but sigh in relief. He believed that Vincent would definitely be able to explain it clearly to the craftsman.

Catherine who was standing beside Dave, nodded her head to greet Vincent.

The craftsman turned his head to look at Vincent with a troubled expression and frowned. He said, “Sir, what you said sounds nice, but I have never seen the weapon described by His Highness Dave. How can I forge a suitable weapon just based on his description alone?”

“That’s simple!”

Vincent casually pulled out the Return Journey of the Dead from his waist and raised it in front of the craftsman. He said softly, “Just follow the knife in my hand and forge a weapon of the same size for His Highness Dave. It shouldn’t be difficult, right?”

The craftsman looked at the knife in Vincent’s hand with a hesitant expression. He shook his head and said, “It still won’t work!”

“Hiss…”

Vincent could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. He almost lost his temper. Who would have thought that there was such a stubborn elf in the world?

Following that, the corners of Vincent’s mouth suddenly curled up into a smile. He could only use an even more violent method to persuade him!
