国产女合集第六部第一集

Chapter 457: Sudden Changes, a New Path Forward

After making a new agreement with the six Elf Kings, Vincent brought the heavily injured Linus into the space tunnel again. He brought him back to the Imperial City’s hotel through the space tunnel.

After placing Linus on the bed, Vincent took out healing medicine from his storage ring and helped to treat the wound on Linus’s chest. He then shoved a pill into Linus’s mouth.

A few seconds after taking the pill, Linus opened his eyes weakly. He looked around blankly. His eyes were filled with emptiness and confusion.

He could not understand why he was lying in the hotel room. Was it just a dream?

While he was thinking, he wanted to get up, but just as he made a move, he pulled the wound on his chest. The intense pain went straight to his heart, and he almost passed out again.

Vincent, who was standing at the side, gave him a friendly reminder, “You’re heavily injured, it’s best to recuperate now!”

Linus instantly widened his eyes after hearing Vincent’s voice. He then turned his head to look around the room. As expected, he saw Vincent standing not too far away. He was sizing him up calmly. Only then did he realized that everything he had experienced from before was not a dream.

Linus obviously did not want to chase after Vincent anymore. He sighed and said, “Back in Dark Yuan City, I can’t believe that I led everyone to chase after you. However, in less than a month’s time, your strength has far surpassed mine. You can even kill demons!”

The corners of Vincent’s mouth curled up into a smile as he said, “At that time, I was also in Dark Yuan City to give your father some face. Otherwise, if I really wanted to kill you, I could have done it easily!”

Linus nodded and did not deny Vincent’s words. This was because he had witnessed Vincent’s methods. He truly admired Vincent’s strength from the bottom of his heart.

Linus turned to look at Vincent and said sincerely, “In order to resist Gajero, you did not hesitate to barge into this world that has nothing to do with you. You would rather be blamed by thousands of creatures so long you are able to complete your own goal. I admire you for this. Moreover, you are brave enough to resist the demons. If there is anything that you need me to do, just say the word. I will definitely do my best to help you complete it!”

Vincent nodded and said with a smile, “Actually, there is something that I need you to help me with, and it is something of great significance to the elves!”

Linus was so excited that he wanted to get up. However, the pain from his wound forced him back down. Instead, he just said, “What is it? Just tell me!”

Vincent said in a deep voice, “Previously, I used my fake identity and suggested to the demons to send a Dark Elf to the apostles’ territory to help them collect the Origin Divine Earth. Now, you can make use of the time when the seven apostles are near the Imperial City to secretly go to the city that they manage to take over the work of collecting the Origin Divine Earth. This way, you can immediately control the trade between the demons and the apostles. At the same time, you can also destroy their channels to continue collecting the Origin Divine Earth!”

Linus became very excited when he heard that. He nodded without hesitation and said, “Alright, I will definitely complete this mission!”

Vincent nodded and said, “You are a Fire Elf now. If you continue to stay in Imperial City, you will inevitably expose your identity. So, once you recover from your injuries, immediately leave Imperial City. As for the subordinates that you brought, you will have to make your own decision on how to deal with them!”

Linus said confidently, “Don’t worry, they are the most outstanding young elves in Dark Yuan City. As long as the truth is laid out in front of them, they will not hesitate to stand on my side!”

Vincent smiled and said, “If that’s the case, then I am relieved! I will ask the demons for permission to replace you as an apostle. By then, you can leave the city openly!”

He then turned around and opened the space door. He disappeared from the room.

Linus looked at Vincent’s back as he left. His eyes gradually became determined. At that moment, the medicine had already started to take effect. The wound on his chest began to heal slowly, allowing him to sit up.

Soon, he was able to stand back up. Linus took out a mask that covered his entire face from his storage ring and put it on. It covered his skin color and eyes. He also put on a brand-new high priest robe. The wide sleeves were just enough to cover his body and arms that showed the characteristics of a Fire Elf.

This was also the outfit that Linus had prepared for the day.

He walked to the window and tried to stretch slowly. He sighed in his heart silently, “I hope everything goes smoothly! I hope the elves can face the difficulties in front of them!”

…

Vincent left the hotel and returned to his room. After removing the quilt on his bed, he reverted back to Jacob’s appearance. He opened the door and walked out of the room as if nothing had happened and strode over to the palace.

Vincent did not know that the other demons had all left Imperial City to travel to the camps of the seven apostles.

When Vincent arrived at the gate of the palace and was about to report to them, he received the news that the other demons had just returned.

Vincent stood outside the palace in a daze, his heart full of worry.

The others might not know the attitude of the demons toward the apostles outside the city, but Vincent did. To the demons, the apostles were just a bunch of tools that could be discarded at any time.

Therefore, there were only two reasons for the demons to visit those apostles personally. Firstly, the Demon Race wanted the apostles to return to their territories to continue collecting the Origin Divine Earth. Secondly, they wanted the seven apostles to attack Serene Spring City and Devil Flame City. They wanted to quell the rebellion led by Dave and Melissa.

Either way, both possibilities were extremely disadvantageous for Vincent!

If these apostles chose to return to their respective territories, then Vincent and Linus’s plan would be foiled.

If the seven apostles chose to attack Serene Spring City and Devil Flame City, then the two cities that were not ready for battle at that moment would probably be destroyed!

Right at that moment, the palace door suddenly opened and a hoarse demon voice came from inside.

“Come in!”

Vincent immediately came back to his senses, adjusted his expression, and strode into the palace.

Although there were many unexpected events that have occurred, Vincent could only solve them one by one. The priority was naturally whatever that was in front of him first!

After entering the palace, Vincent raised his head and glanced at the seats above him. As expected, one of the eight seats was empty. The other seven demons did not seem to know what had happened.

The solemn demon questioned in a deep voice, “Jacob, what exactly happened in the city last night? Why did Roderick not return?”

Vincent immediately replied respectfully, “Reporting to the oracles, last night, a foreign race broke into Imperial City and attacked a large number of guard posts. Lord Roderick reacted immediately and went to the city to fight with the foreign race. Until now, there is no news of the foreign race, nor of Lord Roderick!”

When the seven demons heard this, they could not help but frown. The demon sitting in the middle directly questioned him, “No news? Where were you when you found the foreign race yesterday? Why did you stop receiving news about Roderick?”

Vincent said calmly, “After I found the foreign race last night, I went back to my room to hide! This is because I came to the Imperial City to seek the protection of the oracle, I will not participate in anything dangerous. Moreover, Lord Roderick’s strength is far higher than mine. Even if I had participated in the battle, I would not have known his whereabouts!”

The demon in the middle could not help but gnash his teeth in anger. At the same time, a trace of doubt rose in his heart. Although Roderick was the weakest among them, he was still an invincible existence in Elf World.

How could a mere foreign race make Roderick disappear for so long?

Could it be that the foreign race that invaded Elf World was actually an existence that could fight against the demons?

“Jacob, since you chose to be a deserter last night, why did you come to see us now?”

Another demon took the initiative to question Vincent. From his tone that was filled with disgust, it was not hard to hear that he was very dissatisfied with Vincent.

Vincent did not care about the negativity in the demon’s tone. He replied calmly, “Before this, I have already discussed with Lord Roderick. I have chosen a follower who is loyal to Gajero and the various oracles. He will go to the territories of the seven apostles to collect resources on their behalf and suppress those apostles who are proud of their achievements. Now that I have found a suitable candidate, I especially want to invite the various Lord Apostles to make a decision!”

The demon in the middle frowned as he looked at Vincent and said in a deep voice, “Roderick has already told us about this matter. We also maintain a supportive attitude. I wonder what kind of candidate you have found?”

Vincent said seriously, “It’s the believer who brought the Heavenly Demon Token to the pilgrimage yesterday! In order to complete the mission in the Heavenly Demon Token, he did not hesitate to take out his family heirloom, a complete Origin Divine Tree! He came to Imperial City personally to give it to the oracles. Such sincerity has really moved me. Isn’t such a Dark Elf the most loyal believer? Therefore, the oracles can appoint him to do anything. I believe that he will complete the mission even if he dies!”

The seven demons sitting on the seats could not help but sneer when they heard this. This was because the Origin Divine Tree was like trash to them.

The reason why they issued such a Heavenly Demon Token was to find the Origin Divine Tree that grew in the wild. This was because the place where the Origin Divine Tree grew was the most suitable place to collect the Origin Divine Earth.

However, the Origin Divine Tree that was part of a family heirloom must have been excavated many years ago. How could they determine the location of the Origin Divine Earth? Only those foolish elves would treat it as a treasure!

The demon in the middle said calmly, “In that case, this Dark Elf is indeed a loyal believer. Let him take over the mission of secretly replacing the other apostles! Let him keep the Origin Divine Tree and let it continue to be part of his family heirloom!”
