I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means Chapter 807: 501: The Enraged King2
Chapter 807: Chapter 501: The Enraged King_2
“What in the world is going on?”
Elwin Polin, the king of the Bolin Kingdom, stood by the window listening to the occasional booming sounds from the distant city wall, he angrily asked.
Casually, he threw a bone he had just finished eating onto the floor, venting his anger without regard for decorum, appearing uncouth.
His Majesty indeed had a sowhat portly figure; his belly was round and bulging like a big waterlon. His face was plump, and his eyes appeared tiny and fierce due to the surrounding flesh.
He was dressed in a gold-colored robe, beautifully embroidered with intricate patterns. However, likely due to his large size, the robe seed a tad strained, the buttons at the collar seed as if they might burst open at any mont. The hem of the robe dragged across the floor, looking rather untidy.
Before the king’s furious interrogation, another voice resounded in the room.
The figure clad in a black cloak that appeared in the room seed like a dark shadow in the night, blending silently into the surrounding environnt. His tall and lean figure was akin to a phantom in the night.
His face was obscured by a black face covering, revealing only a pair of gloomy, sharp, and ruthless eyes.
His breathing was light and regular, almost rging with the surrounding air, but every slight movent he made subtly released a dangerous and captivating aura, like a venomous snake hidden in the dark, ready to strike at any mont.
“Your Majesty, please calm down.”
Josiah, standing in front of a desk, slightly bowed as he spoke to Elwin.
As the leader of the Starving Wolf rcenary Group, most people were unaware that this leader was in fact commanded by His Majesty the king.
Of course, why it was so was a secret only a few associated knew.
“Due to the investigation by Nature’s Wrath, I had no choice but to ask Jesus to tackle those elves,”
“The disturbance by the wall might be Jesus battling those elves.”
In fact, Josiah was not lying.
Upon discovering that Nature’s Wrath’s elves were gathering intelligence about the Starving Wolf rcenary Group, he sensed trouble.
For the Starving Wolf rcenary Group, a squad of elves from Nature’s Wrath, although formidable, could still be dealt with by the full might of the group.
But doing so would undoubtedly expose issues within the Starving Wolf rcenary Group, especially since they were facing a powerful extraordinary organization like Nature’s Wrath.
Although Nature’s Wrath hadn’t been established for long and it was unclear if now it harbored any legendary strongn, its record over the past year of ruthlessly eliminating those from the Elf Slave Catching Teams seed to suggest that Gold-level professionals were trivial before them.
Josiah did not want to risk his own safety, especially since the trouble was arising from an order by His Majesty.
He too was a professional who had accepted the power of the demon from Benfica, and over the years, he had reached the strength of the Gold level.
Yet he did not feel that he could act with impunity in the Bolin Kingdom.
To say nothing else, if his identity as a demon believer was revealed, the attack and pursuit from the Church of the Gods were not sothing he could withstand.
So, upon discovering that squad of elves from Nature’s Wrath, his first thought was to seek help in Acot City.
On one hand, he asked Jesus, an ace hitman from the organization, to intervene.
Mastering the rare art of Illusion Magic and especially fond of setting traps in advance, Jesus often caused even opponents of the sa level to make mistakes during their first encounter, which usually resulted in their demise.
At the sa ti, he ca to the Royal Palace to report the progress of the affair to His Majesty.
He certainly did not want to face the crisis alone.
He could not provoke the Church of the Gods or Nature’s Wrath.
Everyone knew how sensitive those with the long ears beca after the incident at the Elf Royal Court.
The tasks entrusted to them by Lord Benfica were clear, and the vast number of elf slaves he had taken had completely disappeared without a trace.
He did not believe a Legendary Crown would personally intervene in such matters for so gold coins.
Could it really be…
Josiah quashed the speculation in his mind and returned his attention to face the furious tirade of His Majesty before him.
“Damn it, man, how dare you do this!”
“Those are people from Nature’s Wrath, and you dared to let Jesus handle them? Have you lost your mind?”
“You damn idiot! Brainless goblin!”
Elwin was nearly mad; he initially wondered who would cause such an uproar in the city and why the City Guard Army hadn’t dealt with it.
He then understood from Josiah’s sense that it might be Jesus fighting the Elf Team from Nature’s Wrath.
Even if he was again dimwitted and incompetent, he knew not to provoke the Elf Kingdom willingly.
Although over the years, those with the long ears had shown no interest in the Human Kingdoms located next to the Elf Forest,
if provoked, the Elf Kingdom would not hesitate to demonstrate the power of the Elf Kingdom!
Let alone Nature’s Wrath!
Even he had heard of the mighty rise of the “Extraordinary Organization” in Jade City!
How dare Joshua directly attack the “Nature’s Wrath” Elf Team?
“Your Majesty, please calm your anger, I had no other choice.”
“Those elves have been investigating our previous transport of elf slaves; it was impossible to cover up…”
Joshua explained himself, but he did not truly believe his words.
So much ti had passed since the matters at the Elf Royal Court, yet there had been no word from Lord Benfica.
With his life in soone else’s hands, Joshua couldn’t help but speculate.
Either the Legendary Crown had completed the divine task, left the Elf Forest and the Bolin Kingdom and would never return,
or, Benfica had died at the Elf Royal Court…
Whichever outco, it was good news for Joshua.
Just then, the elves from “Nature’s Wrath” sought him out.
He decided to deflect the trouble toward the king.
If it could be resolved, he would continue to live as the captain of the Starving Wolf rcenary Group.
If things beca uncontrollable, he would decisively leave, for as a Gold-level professional, he could thrive anywhere.
All the wealth he had accumulated over the years was stored in his storage ring, ready to leave at any mont.
Facing Joshua’s explanations, Elvin appeared to have been choked by a bone, his face reddening as he suppressed his yelling.
Truthfully, Benfica had been missing for a long ti, and the demand from the Starving Wolf rcenary Group for elf slaves was no longer needed.
But he required Joshua to continue the clandestine trade from before.
On one hand, many beautiful elves were offered to him, satisfying his bestial desires.
On the other hand, the imnse profits from the elf slaves could sustain his decadent, luxurious lifestyle.
So, in a sense, the reasons he was confronted by those elves were indeed because of him.
“You…”
Elvin was about to say sothing when he suddenly noticed three figures appearing in the room.
“So you are Elvin?”
Lis, the leader, looked at the fat man in front of him and nodded slightly.
Although extrely subtle, he could still sense Benfica’s aura on this king.
Indeed, there would be no problem in killing him later.
As for the other man in black…
Hadn’t Angela already charged at him?
Although this man was a bit stronger than the head of the City Guard Army, it really made no difference.
“Felix, do you realize what you are doing?”
Elvin looked toward Lis and the others with a face full of terror, his shrill voice unable to hide his panic.
Seeing Bishop Felix from the Earth Church, he clung to him like a lifeline.
“Your Majesty, please calm down, and do not resist.”
Felix shook his head, knowing everything Lis said was true when he saw the Demon Power flowing over the other black-clad man.
Why else would the king et with a follower of demons, if not for that reason?
“Damn you, you all deserve to die!”
Knowing everything was over, Elvin cursed fiercely, surreptitiously crushing a black crystal stone in his hand.
Lis noticed, but rely smiled, not making a move.
He was curious to see what surprises were still in store…
Suddenly, wild spatial fluctuations filled the entire palace, and the explosive wind blew Lis’s clothes, yet he stood motionless.
Space Transmission?
How uninteresting…
