Chapter 296 - Plans! (1/2)

While many families of the magician community were busy picking up artifacts, packing them, and sending them towards the doors of Elliot, the person in question was having a drink with Theo and instructor Leonardo.

”How did you guys charge so much?” Instructor Leonardo asked curiously. The elders were equally curious about the reason why they had grown up so much in merely three days.

”You want to explain it?” Theo asked Elliot.

Elliot shook his head, indicating he didn't want to do the explaining. ”My throat is dry after that big ass intimidation speech, so you speak.”

In truth, he just didn't want to stop drinking wine. Theo could tell that, but he didn't point it out or scold him. It's because he was very willing to share responsibility. He started explaining much of what he had experienced in the ancient settlement of the soul race. Theo left some things unsaid, such as how he was a half-elf. After listening to his words, the situation became clearer to instructor Leonardo and the elders, who were all part of the resistance.

”So you guys have also become a part of the resistance. Congratulations! You guys are my juniors from now on. If you need any help, hit me up.” Instructor Leonardo said to them with a big smile. He was happy because now he no longer needed to come up with a scheme to invite Eliot over to his side.

Theo wasn't surprised as he always knew that Leonardo was a resistance member. Elliot was a guy who liked surprises and loved to show his feeling on his face, but even after learning that his so-called craft instructor was a resistor, his face remained as calm as a still ocean. Why was he so quiet? It's because the godly right eye of wisdom had long exposed the truth of his instructor to him.

”Congratulations for becoming resistors, Lord Theo Rose, Lord Elliot.”

The four elders could tell that these young men were stronger than them, so they didn't hold back on formalities.

”Thank you, everyone,” Theo replied politely.

It was at this moment that Elliot placed down his cup, producing a slight thud. The cup was empty, but the sound echoed. Everyone's eyes turned towards him. They saw a serious look on his face. It seemed like what he was about to say would be important.

”Enough with the pleasantries,” Elliot said as he raised his eyelids and looked at them. ”Let's start the real talk.”

The resistance didn't have an ethnicity, nor did it have any limitations on races that could join it. It was an organization built on a single ideal, defeat the warmongering race that was the demonic gods. Their purpose was to stop them from expanding, attack their territories and conquer them, and stop them from invading other worlds. Planet Earth was a part of the demonic gods' expansion scheme, and the one leading this expedition was the serpentine devil.
