At the Killer Pavilion’s Underground Prison
Upon Long Tian’s arrival to the pavilion the forr elf king Vega no longer wasted any ti and brought the marshal to et the intruder he had caught and tortured by his nephews. His state is weird as if sothing within his soul was broken. He was dazed most of the ti as if he had lost his soul. Long Tian was surprised with this state of the prisoner.
The marshal asked, "What happened to him?"
"He... was tortured badly and his mind broke. However, he will still answer you questions. He might look like that but when you touch him he..." The Elf King Vega pokes the death soldier’s forr leader and he starts trembling as if suffering the worst nightmare in his life.
"Aah!! I will talk. Please... I will tell you everything. Just kill . Let die. I want to die..."
These words were shouted in a loop as the prisoner went insane. Long Tian was doubting about this man being able to answer any of his questions but he still did try asking.
"Who sent you?" The Marshal asked.
The prisoner answered, "Pei... Pei Clan’s young master... Pei Jin."
"You are lying. That is just a child!" Retorted Long Tian.
Of course, this was just him trying to dig more information but in reality, he already guessed that Pei Jin from the Pei Clan had ordered this mission. They had long known that the child is the only child in his body but the soul is most likely an adult who is as old as they are. Which is why he can command such a massacre at such a young age.
The prisoner shouted, "I’m not lying. He is a devil. He took away all our family . If we don’t listen he will kill them and feed their blood and flesh to his beast egg!"
"He killed people. One person every day! This is regardless of gender, young or old. He kills them all."
"The old patriarch. He no longer exists. That devil had longed to replace him. All of his relatives were also under his control. If they dare to go against him, he would kill them without rcy."
"Kill ... Kill ! I want to die. Just kill please!"
In the end, Long Tian gave him rcy and killed the man on the spot. They saw the man slowly close his eyes with a peaceful smile on his face. It was such a strange feeling seeing soone wish for a death so much like this man did. Even though Long Tian didn’t know what the forr elf king or the assassins of the Killer Pavilion did, just this one man’s reaction alone is enough to say how powerful their ans are.
The Elf King asked, "Is it alright for you to kill him? Don’t you need him alive as a proof of what the Pei Clan had done?
"He can’t be used. Seeing how he wanted death so much but doesn’t dare to do it himself. He is already broken. It’s better to free him at least as a human," Long Tian said.
"That’s why... I wanted to know. What have you done for him to end up like that?"
The Marshal asked but when he asked this question he was observing everyone around the forr Elf King. He noticed that even though Vega and First kept a poker face, the other assassins shivered as he recalled sothing they never wanted to rember. Then he realized that the state of that man was sothing not done by any of them.
Long Tian narrowed his eyes and asked, "You didn’t do it. Soone had done it instead? Who was it?"
"I will not talk," The Elf King Vega said.
First added, "Please don’t ask . I don’t want to die."
The assassins around them all shook their heads like chickens in drugs and understood that he cannot ask them anything. The only thing he can do is wait for Xie Yun to return as First and Vega will definitely tell him what happened. Only then can he ask him the details and learn the reason for the fear these people have.
Long Tian no longer questioned them about the dead one and said, "There might be a few more waves of enemies after this. Please catch as much as you can if possible."
"I will try to do so. Is it okay if they are missing a limb or two right?" The forr Elf King, Vega said.
The Marshal said, "As long as they are alive. There is no problem."
"What should we do about the Pei Clan? Send people to investigate them?" Vega asked.
He had longed to investigate that clan after learning that they are the mastermind of this event. However, since he cannot like the pavilion so easily without soone taking his place. He wanted to ask the marshal if he planned on sneaking in there and to ask him to leave that to him while the latter stays in the pavilion and protects it for him temporarily.
However, the forr elf king noticed the sudden ugly expression that surfaced the marshal’s face and realized that maybe they’ve already sent people in their and the result is more tragic than he expected
The forr elf king squinted his eyes and said, "If you’ve already done it then it only ans that the enemy is much more powerful than I expected. As long as we are not against sothing akin to a god it shouldn’t be a problem."
"..." The Marshal who knew that the youngest of the Pei Clan is most likely an old ghost from the future tiline. Though he cannot be considered a god, he must be more slippery than old n like his father and other old big shots in the military.
The Elf King Vega noticed his sudden silence and guessed that even though he didn’t guess right it was close to the truth and felt sorry for his friend and the Long Clan being targeted by such beings.
He said, "How unlucky are you that you have a sinister opponent with an old sly fox existence who is not even in an adult body. This world is surreal, alright."
"How about helping us again, Elf King?" The Marshal, Long Tian asked.
Vega shrugs his shoulders and said, "If you can sign an alliance with the beastman race why not?"
Sigh~
"That is also quite hard to achieve," said the marshal as he pinched his throbbing temples.
Vega said, "At least you have a chance. My brother-in-law is not that bad. He is just overprotective and a leader who is willing to sacrifice himself for his race. He is not much different from the old mashal. It’s just those foolish scientists in your race, you should have stopped them before it was too late. It was only by living in the ancient forest that I learned how scarce the number of children from their race."
"I’ve learned that the beastn race can only give birth twice in their whole life. That’s why even if their beast eggs or cubs are mixed or not, they love them unconditionally and are overprotective of them."
"I know. That was the biggest mistake the human race had made. Aren’t we suffering for it now?" Long Tian said.
The forr Elf King, Vega said, "It was well deserved. The problem is that the culprits are already all dead and you have to suffer for their mistake."
"No. They are not all dead," said Long Tian thinking of the result of the investigation he got about that hidden laboratory at the ancient forest.
Vega was stunned by this response and asked, "What do you an?"
"It is a bit unsure but... It seems that the mastermind who backed that laboratory is still alive. It’s just we don’t know if it was him for sure or soone else," said Long Tian but he didn’t tell the forr elf king the details.
The forr elf king said, "You can use this to convince my brother-in-law, as long as you find the mastermind their hatred will shift from all of the human race to that sole being. But make sure it was the truth and provide proof."
"I know. Once everything has been gathered I will inform the leader of the beastn race about it during the year end appointnt we’ve made," said Long Tian. "I’ve overstayed. The spies are mostly resolved by now. It’s ti for to go ho."
"Alright. I will send a few to send you out and to scout the surroundings as well. Be careful on your way back. If sothing happens to you that one surnad Mu would definitely storm here in rage," said Vega.
Hahaha~
Long Tian said, "News cos to you so fast. Did the wind tell you about that as well?"
"Well maybe~" said Long Tian.
A pause ca in between the two of them. As they are from different factions there will always be a distance from one another.
The forr elf king said, "I hope that the human race doesn’t beco enemies with the beastn race. Those whom I think on your side will no longer be on your side if that truly happens."
"What do you an?" Long Tian’s face turned serious as he didn’t know how this elf king learned about the Ancient Beasts on their side.
However, these words were enough to tell him indirectly that he knows them. "You’ve t them before?"
"One of my brothers-in-law is a Beast God, what do you think is his relationship with Ancient ones? At the very least, you should rember that they are not humans." The Elf King Vega said as he sent the Marshal out of the pavilion.
However, the marshal is not a fool. Clearly, with the words from the forr elf king alone was enough to tell him that the ancient lords had a relationship with the beastn race. Maybe not the beastn race itself but soone from that side that will make them take the side of the beastn as long as the other is on that side.
The marshal mumbles, "I guess becoming an ally of the beastn race is a must."
