Chapter 307 - The Beast Elites, Tragic Past
With Vincent’s help, Irene was soon recognized as the king of the underground world. She picked out some of the stronger and more prestigious creatures and gave them some survival skills.
For example, she told them about where they could get the cheapest food. She also told them about the weapons and blueprints produced in the underground world and where they could be sold for a good price.
The channels that Irene had provided for them were all controlled by high-level races, so they were relatively safe. There would basically be no situations where they would be killed after the transaction.
With the availability of these few basic channels, the underground world could select a few representatives to go and exchange resources with the outside world.
However, even so, the amount of food that they could buy was far less than the amount that Irene had brought. Hence, Vincent’s cleansing of the underground world earlier was especially important.
The remaining underground world creatures would be able to survive using the method that Irene had given them.
Whilst Irene was providing the creatures with the relevant information, Vincent brought Ebenezer and sat in front of Lilis and Janos.
Janos, a short gnome with dark green skin, looked at Vincent in fear. He was afraid that Vincent would kill him if he did not agree.
On the other hand, Lilis was very calm. She was like a walking corpse. She sat there quietly, not caring about Vincent at all.
Vincent first looked at Janos and asked in a deep voice, “Irene told me that you are the best craftsman. Why didn’t you find a powerful race to rely on? Instead, you chose to hide in the underground world.”
Janos replied honestly, “I am only a level 20 creature. Logically speaking, I cannot live in the capital of Ultimate Evil. Moreover, those high-level races are very discriminating against us gnomes. They will only laugh at me and not treat me as a craftsman!”
Vincent continued to ask, “Is that why you want to leave the capital of Ultimate Evil?”
Janos nodded, “Yes! At that time, I bribed a group of scavengers to bring me into the capital of Ultimate Evil. As gnomes are not good at fighting, they did not plan to sell me into the Arena of Life and Death. I lived in the capital of Ultimate Evil just like that. After a long time, I realized that this place was hell for low-level races. They could only live in a miserable state. There was never a day where they could stand out!”
“Then where do you want to go after you leave the capital of Ultimate Evil? Do you need me to send you to the world of the gnomes?” asked Vincent again.
Janos shook his head and said, “The world of the gnomes has long been destroyed. Moreover, the gnomes do not have the habit of living in groups. I can go anywhere. If you can protect me, I will always serve you!”
Vincent smiled and said with satisfaction, “Very good! Then follow me! I will take you to a world where no one will laugh at you for being a low-level creature. Of course, I cannot guarantee that no one will laugh at your figure and appearance!”
Janos replied, “As a gnome, I do not care about others laughing at my figure and appearance. As long as someone doesn’t discriminate against my strength and recognize my forging skills, I am already very satisfied!”
“Deal!”
Vincent smiled in satisfaction. He then said, “If possible, I’d like to see your work and your level as a high-level craftsman!”
“No problem, please wait a moment!”
Janos immediately replied to Vincent. He then turned and walked into the room.
Taking advantage of the time, Vincent turned to look at Lilis. He asked with a frown, “You don’t seem to be very interested in leaving the capital of Ultimate Evil?”
Lilis said expressionlessly, “Of course I want to leave the capital of Ultimate Evil, but I also know that you can’t leave with your current strength. If I leave with you, only death awaits!”
Vincent subconsciously lowered his head to look at himself. He then said, “I don’t look strong enough, but soon all the powerhouses in the capital of Ultimate Evil will be fighting together. When that time comes, the only one who will be free to take you away will be me. So you don’t have to worry about your safety. After all, I’m also a person who cherishes life!”
“I refuse! I’d rather wait for a more assured chance than to gamble on you!” replied Lilis indifferently.
Ebenezer, who was at the side, could not help but frown when he heard that. He turned to Vincent and said, “Master, since she has such high standards, don’t take her with you. After we leave safely, let her regret it here!”
Vincent waved his hand, signaling Ebenezer not to speak. He continued to say to Lilis, “The Black Hole in the Beast world is very far from the capital of Ultimate Evil. I’m very curious about how you came here.”
After hearing that, a hint of surprise suddenly appeared on Lilis’s lifeless face. She looked at Vincent and asked in shock, “Do you know where the Beast world is?”
Vincent nodded and said, “I am good friends with your Bear Emperor. If you are willing to leave with me, I can help you return to the Beast world!”
Lilis suddenly revealed a cold smile and said to Vincent with extreme caution, “Realgar died in battle long ago! How long have you lived? How can you know the Bear Emperor?”
Vincent nodded and continued, “I know that the Bear Emperor died in battle back then, and I also know that it was Gajero who led the Demon Race to conquer the Beast world. He also supported the Fox Race to become the puppet Beast Emperor and even recruited the Snow Wolf Race to become his subordinates. I once fought side by side with the Beast Men who were loyal to the Bear Emperor. I also destroyed the teleportation array to stop Gajero’s descent. Furthermore, I successfully helped the Bear Emperor reincarnate and recover his memories. Now, the Beast Men have returned to the rule of the Bear Emperor!”
After hearing Vincent’s explanation, Lilis stood rooted to the spot and looked at Vincent in shock.
Even if Vincent was lying, it was impossible for him to know the history of the Beast Race like the back of his hand. But even if Vincent was not lying, Lilis could not believe it. In her memories, the Beast Race had become muddle-headed. How could they have risen up again?
After a long silence, Lilis lowered her head and sighed softly, “40 years ago, no one in the Beast Race was willing to believe that the Bear Emperor would return. They gradually began to feel numb under the rule of Gajero. A small portion of the members of the Beast Race and I still firmly believed that the Bear Emperor would definitely return. We tried all sorts of methods! Some actively publicized the Bear Emperor’s contribution to the Beast Race, while others have been searching for the reincarnation of the Bear Emperor within the Beast Race. As for me and some other companions, we sneaked into the Black Hole world to try and find a way to resurrect the Bear Emperor. However, after an unknown period of time, the world we saw was filled with creatures suffering, and the outcome was even more miserable than that of the Beast Race. Just as we were about to give up and return to the Beast world, we encountered a powerful scavenger. With my level 27 strength, I was no match for them at all, so I had no choice but to hurriedly build a teleportation array. They immediately teleported me to the capital of Ultimate Evil. In the end, I relied on luck to hide in the underground world to survive!”
