Chapter 128. Char!
The so-called top of the tower was actually a terrace that extended out from the top of the castle.
Most Elves were geniuses, and they more or less knew something about the stars, so there was such a Star Observation Platform on the top of the castle.
When Einstein arrived, he saw three people.
Of the two Elves, one had a thin face, one was dressed in luxurious clothes, and the last one was leaning against the railing with an impatient expression. That was probably Shaya.
As soon as he came up, three gazes shot over.
The first two Elves probably noticed it because they had high perception, and Char simply followed their gazes.
Einstein was instantly dumbfounded. He stood rooted to the ground, not knowing whether to move or not.
"Who is it?"
The well-dressed Elf said coldly.
"They're my people," Shaya said, then waved at him.
"Hello, boss," Einstein said in a low voice.
"People with the flame knot?"
Einstein's face twitched. He was considering if he should change guilds.
"It's..."
"Not bad, you're quite smart. You're quite lucky too." Char patted his shoulder with a half-smile.
"The person you've been waiting for is here. Can you tell me now?"
The Elf in luxurious clothes was a little impatient.
"Don't be in such a hurry, Mr. Duke"
Einstein's heart trembled. "F*ck, Duke?
Ever since he started playing this game, he realized that it was a blessing to be born in the 21st century, where the media industry was well-developed. At least you could know who the County Head, Mayor, and Governor of your place were and what they looked like.
If it was a feudal society with a strict hierarchy, they might not even see each other once in a lifetime, which was the case in the game.
Outside of the novice village, the other administrative institutions were heavily guarded, no different from the armed military in real life. Not to mention the City Lord, even some of the higher-ranking people were surrounded when they went out. The players were separated from each other, and they could not even see clearly, let alone get close.
Level 1 Magical Beasts could enter Stormwind City and take a photo with William, who was on the throne. If they were here, they might not even be able to step onto the steps of Stormwind Fortress. If it were not for their ability to level up, they might not even know what the City Lord looked like for the rest of their lives.
He was talking and laughing with a Duke. No one would believe him even if he told them about this.
There was only one Duke in Golden Butterfly City, and that was the Duke of Saxson, who was often mentioned by various NPCs. He was also the city Lord. It was said that he was a level 60 Mage, and the two low-level quest lines hinted that this City Lord had an unruly private life. Therefore, although he was mysterious to these elven players, they were not unfamiliar with him.
Alstein secretly sized him up. Saxson frowned and looked at him like lightning. He quickly shrank his neck.
Oh my God, it was quite scary.
"Don't be in such a hurry, Mr. Duke."
Char lazily replied. He turned around and looked down. The players had almost flooded the City Lord's residence. This matter had spread like wildfire, and now it was getting bigger and bigger. There might even be a large number of players who had gone offline being pulled back up.
The more people there were, the more chaotic it would be. Hence, the light of magic restrictions and traps rose and fell, and there was a constant white flash that symbolized that the players were sent back to the cemetery. However, they would climb up from the church four streets away and rush back without hesitation.
"If this continues, your residence won't be able to handle it." Char sighed.
"Don't be long-winded, continue your previous topic."
"What do you think is hidden underground?" Saxson's eyes narrowed.
"Didn't I tell you? There's a hidden treasure, a treasure that you can't imagine. However, if I were to continue, please let Mr. Juke go first. Although there is a wonderful misunderstanding between him and your wife, we are all elves, and we understand that little thing. It is not worth it to look into it," Char said.
He did not expect that Jake to be caught in the act of adultery.
Saxson was a painter. He usually slept during the day and came out at night. However, this time, he was out of character. He woke up early with dark circles under his eyes. That was when he caught Jake, the latter was trying on the Duchess' new clothes and happened to break in while she was changing her old clothes.
Even though this process usually took a long time.
Without a choice, Char could only reveal the secret that Saxson desired the most.
As a Duke, he could have had a better fief, but he had chosen this place. The reason he had chosen this place was also because of an illusory legend about treasure.
However, after so many years since he became the city Lord, he still had not found the so-called treasure. Saxson had almost forgotten about it, but Char had suddenly mentioned it, his heart that had been dormant for a long time suddenly became alive again, which was why he did not deal with Jake immediately.
It was also Char's idea for the three of them to go up to the rooftop. This place had a wide view, and they could see most of the scenery in the city, especially the city gate.
Yesterday, the wanted criminal, Char had appeared in Golden Butterfly City. The news had spread. If someone had come from thousands of miles away riding a Silver Dragon, they should have arrived by now.
They could be seen at a glance.
Saxson was anxious about the treasure and was very dissatisfied with Char's nonchalant tone and attitude. The noise in the City Lord's residence also annoyed him. He snapped his fingers, and the stargazing platform that the four of them were on was quickly covered with a transparent barrier from top to bottom. All sounds were isolated outside, and it was quiet for a while.
"I won't pursue his matter."
He glanced at Jake, who was also expressionless on his skinny face.
"Don't make it sound so forced, Mr. Duke." Char smiled. "You've been husband and wife for thirty to forty years. You've never interfered with each other's business. This time, you were the one who made an exception."
"You know quite a lot." Saxson snorted. "That's true, but they've gone overboard!" The sounds from the first floor can be heard from the third floor.
Char looked at the tailor, and the latter also turned his head away awkwardly.
Einstein chuckled, but then quickly pulled a serious face.
"Hey, that's your fault."
Char tugged on Jake's sleeve.
"Apologize to them, and then go wait outside the city."
Jake still wanted to say something, but Char showed him the piece of dried meat in him hand.
"Do you want me to ask him to talk to you?"
The tailor kept silent. He knew about the vengeful spirit, and it was because he could no longer tolerate it that he buried it in the City Lord's mansion.
He owed Char a favor.
"I'm sorry for offending you, Mr. Duke."
Jake bowed slightly. For a tough guy like him who refused to give in, this was enough. Saxson only snorted and did not comment, but his expression clearly softened.
Seeing this, the tailor did not hesitate. He gently jumped on the railing, and his right hand swept from top to bottom. The barrier was easily cut open, and he let himself through.
"See, I told you you can't stop him." Char smiled.
"Where's the treasure? Can you tell me now?"
"Alright."
Char gestured for them not to rush. From the corner of his eye, he saw a small black dot in the southern sky that was getting closer and closer, and he heaved a sigh of relief.
"Come, let's add each other as friends."
He said to Einstein.
The latter hurriedly handed in the application, and only raised his head in surprise after adding his.
"What's going on?"
"You're going to die." Char said.
"Eh?"
Einstein was confused, and then he saw Char pierce his chest with a sword.
It was only when he turned into a white light and disappeared that he realized that he had been instakilled.
"I'll explain it to you later."
Char's last sentence floated over.
Einstein drowsily retreated into the darkness. Before he completely left, he vaguely heard a cold but resentful cry.
"Char..."
A beautiful Silver Dragon carrying a young girl, accompanied by a bright silver burning Dragon Breath and a huge golden sword light, the two of them were like meteors falling from the sky, ruthlessly slashing at the castle's Star Observation Platform!
