Chapter 1224 - Dark Region (8) (1/2)

Loud screams echoed.

In just a few moments, the ‘ignorant nearby crowd’ yelled and evacuated from the area. They were hoping to see how the dark elves were insulted and killed by these outsiders. But now, the show had turned into a nightmare. In Carlesodar City, there were never any precedents where dark elves were killed by foreign races. And now, not only were six dark elves killed, but the death of a female mage was also involved. This could be said to have filled two historical gaps in one go. The crowd stole away immediately. Of course, they knew what this meant. The death of a female mage was enough to shock the entire Carlesodar City and spark the rage of all dark elves. A wild storm of fight was guaranteed at this point in time. Not only that, but Angelina also manifested her identity. A noble vampire wouldn’t fight when the odds were against her. Once the crowd was swept into the battle, they would be doomed for sure. That was why they scrambled away from the scene instantly, hiding from this dangerous place.

The bustling crowd in the spacious plaza dispersed instantly as though they didn’t exist. At a glance, one couldn’t find anything that could move on its own. It was so silent that a drop of a pin could be clearly heard. Up until that moment, Angelina nodded in pleasure, shifted her gaze away, and turned around to enter the inn.

“All done? That took a while.”

Upon entering the inn, Angelina heard Mini Bubble Gum’s question. The latter continued to stare at her game, while the old man behind the counter had turned as white as a sheet. He stared at them in lingering fear and was at a total loss. He didn’t expect them to be this brave to slaughter dark elves in Carlesodar City!

Oh, rocks, aren’t they afraid of provoking the wrath of the dark elves?

“No problem for now, Madam Bubble.”

Angelina nodded at Mini Bubble Gum respectfully. She sat down on her usual spot, raised the wineglass high, and turned to the old man who hid behind the counter.

“Get me your best wine, human.”

“Ah—! Yes!”

Upon hearing Angelina’s order, the old man couldn’t help but feel a shiver run down her spine. He grabbed the finest bottle of wine and limped his way to Angelina, pouring it into her wineglass cautiously. But even so, his hands shivered at the immense fear. Looking at his reaction, Angelina narrowed her eyes and let out a snort. Meanwhile, Anne, who picked up and devoured a piece of drumstick, cocked her head curiously to look at the inn boss. Then, she stretched out her hand and patted the old man’s shoulder.

“Don’t worry, old man. We can handle a bunch of dark elves. You don’t need to be so scared.”

“Yes… Miss. I don’t wish to intrude, but…”

The old man forced a smile at Anne’s consolation. Of course, he knew that these people were definitely strong enough to stir trouble in the dark elves’ city. Although they were capable, he clearly knew that he wasn’t up for it. Ever since he broke free of being a slave, he had lived in this city. And now, even if the dark elves didn’t dare to find trouble with these people, they would still come for him.

Sigh, a sack of old bones like me can’t handle this pressure…

At this thought, the old man let out a sigh. Even though he was worried about his future, he couldn’t help but feel satisfied upon witnessing the sorry state of those high and mighty dark elves. As a human slave in the past, he had suffered endless agony. His legs and even his entire life were thoroughly destroyed by the dark elves. Right now, he was nothing more than the walking dead. But… After witnessing the dark elves’ raw blood and hearing their wails, this was the first time he felt so alive, agitated, and excited. It was especially so when Angelina snapped the female mage’s neck, to which he shivered from head to toe. The invincible and superior dark elves were slaughtered like pigs by those people. Who would have expected this day to come?

For the sake of this scene, he felt like it was worth the price of letting them stay in his inn. If the dark elves were to seek revenge on him, he would gladly accept it. At the very least, it was still better than being imprisoned in this dark city like a zombie. The old man shook his head. The corners of his lips raised to force a smile. Anne stared at him in confusion before turning to the rest.

“Say, will everything be alright, Angelina? Didn’t Leader say that the dark elves are scheming? What if you show how powerful you are and they chicken out?”

“I’m certain that they won’t give up just like this, Miss.”

This time, the inn boss answered firmly.

“Perhaps you may not be aware, but the female mage that the young lady killed is the youngest daughter of Matriarch Verna, who rules the fourth family. Perhaps the entire city has received the news by now. If Matriarch Verna doesn’t do anything about it, her family will be driven out of the council. Matriarch Verna definitely wouldn’t accept this humiliation, which is why she will surely send out forces to regain her reputation. But I hope you will be more careful. The fourth family has an innumerable number of bugbear and duergar slaves. Besides, their warriors and mages are ranked third. If Matriarch Verna were to go all-out…”
