Chapter 122. Let Him Bleed!
Early morning in the Pelican Town.
Felix stopped at the hotel entrance, waiting for Char to come down.
However, after a few minutes, Char walked over from behind.
"Hey!"
Felix was startled, and the fat on his face trembled.
"M-Mr. Char, why did you come from that direction?"
"Oh, it's nothing. Evie isn't coming with us. We can go alone."
"That's good."
Felix gestured for him to get on the carriage.
At that moment, a figure jumped down from the second floor and landed in front of Char.
"Bigwig! Where are you going? Bring me along!"
Even though Apple Pie was still yawning, she could not hide the excitement on her face.
"Do you know what we're going to do? What if we're going to a brothel?"
"Isn't that even better?!" She said excitedly.
What?
Shaya stared at the stinky seal for a few seconds and felt no harm in taking her for a walk, so he waved his hand.
"Come on up."
"Alright!"
...
In the carriage, Apple Pie kept asking him where he was going, but Char only said he was visiting an elf and did not reveal more.
A month and a half ago, he had given Felix a piece of paper on which names were written, their interests, hobbies, and the troubles they were about to encounter. In short, it was a guide to getting a good impression.
Through this strategy, Felix gained the support of all the board members in one and a half months and managed to become the person in charge of the Morgenlight Chamber of Commerce's headquarters in Greenland.
Although the strategy was quite useful, the fat merchant's ability was not to be underestimated. Even Char would not be any better than the native.
At that time, he had also given him a [Laurel Crown], and now it was time to offer it to a prince.
Of the five governors of the Sunfire Royal Court, one of the princes was the Queen's younger brother. The remaining four families, Sunstrider, Windrunner, Dawn, and Rime, each sent one person. The Prince Yasuo they were meeting today was a member of the Windrunner family.
Although he was not a Governor himself, he managed 17 of the 25 banks in Elfheim. His wealth and close connection with the United Holy Kingdom made his son a Governor.
The carriage quickly left Pelican Town and headed toward the center of Greenland. After passing through a parterre, the shadow of a manor appeared.
A few elven knights on white horses quickly blocked the carriage. After Felix handed in his business card, they asked to check the carriage.
The three stood outside the carriage. Although the [Eye of the Abyss] couldn't be put into the bag, it could be placed in the Quasi-God Space, equivalent to being placed in the carriage. The guards didn't notice anything.
A guard sized up Apple Pie a few more times, then raised his eyebrows and showed his displeasure.
"A human?"
"Yes, Sir. Is there anything wrong with this?" Felix said as he handed over a gem, and the guard accepted it.
The two were so skilled that it was as if they rehearsed it in advance. Apple Pie almost didn't catch it.
The guards then let them pass.
However, their expressions still did not look good.
"Bigwig, why did he stop me?" Apple Pie could not help but ask.
"It's a complicated question. To put it simply, he thinks you might be planning to seduce the prince to get a better life."
"Oh, an easy girl? Why does this elf sound like a lighthouse nation?"
"That's different." Char shook his head. "Any prejudice is formed through a long process and cannot be summarized simply. The pride of Elves and the Caucasians' sense of superiority were two different things. There was the disdain of long-lived people toward short-lived, and the anger of their ancestors for not striving. It was difficult to explain."
"Also, I'm a half-elf, Felix is a one-sixteenth mixed-blood elf, and you're a pure human. However, based on the relationship between us, he was the driver, I was the bodyguard, and you were the master of this trip. It was obvious who was superior. So, don't be fooled by the arrogant look on the elf's face. In fact, there was a trace of unspeakable anger in his heart. Felix and I are of noble blood, but we have to be ordered around by you. He can't change the fact that the United Holy Kingdom is riding on the head of Elfheim, and the elves can't defeat the humans, so he said those words to vent his dissatisfaction and anger."
After that, Char said in surprise, "You actually listened to it?"
If it were any other time, this girl would have made a scene halfway through her sentence.
For example, "It's too complicated! This is just a game! Don't be so serious!"
And so on.
This time, Apple Pie chuckled and hugged his arm like a fool. "Hehe, you're so professional when you explain! It's alluring!"
"Go away, you crazy girl..."
Char tried to push her away but to no avail. He could only let her hug him.
Suddenly, she asked, "Hey, the game's background is so detailed. How much manpower and resources do you think it took?"
"How would I know?"
Char replied perfunctorily. He lifted the curtain and saw the outline of the manor.
"We're here. Get up. We're getting down to business."
"Oh!"
...
Although Felix was only a mixed-blood elf with one-sixteenth blood, Prince Yasuo didn't dare to neglect him. In this regard, the old elven prince was much more sensible than the younger generation. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the head of seventeen banks in Elfheim.
He invited the three into the living room, and after some small talk, Felix went straight to the point.
"Your Highness, I'm here to present you with a precious gift."
As he spoke, he took out the moon laurel crown.
"This is..." Prince Yasuo gasped.
He hurriedly stood up, retreated, and invited the three of them into the study.
[Bigwig! This elf is so polite. He's completely different from the ones outside!]
[What nonsense are you talking about? There is a set of appraisal tools in his study, so he could appraise it nearby. This guy is cunning. If he takes a treasure given by someone else and runs into the house alone to check it and then says it's fake, it would be stupid. That's why he did it in front of us.]
[Eh? Do you mean he doesn't believe the gift from the fat uncle is real?]
[Of course. The elderly elves would hide their contempt in their bones and not on their faces. You still need to learn more and watch more.]
While the two were bickering, Prince Yasuo had already returned to his desk.
Just as Char had said, he had rushed in not to have a secret conversation with them but to see if the gift was sincere.
The process was not long. Prince Yasuo seemed to have done an age check, but it was a [curse spell check].
The verification failed, which meant the crown did not contain a curse. However, there was no problem with the age verification. It was indeed an antique from that era and had no problem with the style. Someone had made a counterfeit of the original!
"This is a fake, Manager Felix."
The prince's expression became serious, and his eyes became unfriendly.
"Where did you get this fake?"
"Ah? How can this be fake?"
Felix was shocked. He looked at the prince and then at Char.
"Tell me, where did you get it?"
The prince took another half a step forward, looking like he was about to call for help. Char quickly stepped in between the two.
"Your Highness, apart from the crown, we've also prepared another gift."
"What?"
Char snapped his fingers, and a coffin fell to the ground.
The prince's face darkened, and he was about to draw his sword.
Char hurriedly pushed the coffin lid open.
Suddenly, the ferocious face of the 'Eye of the Abyss' was exposed to everyone's sight.
Felix was so shocked that he almost fainted. He wanted to hug Char's leg and shout, "How can you do this?"
It was a f*cking demonic sword!
Even he could smell the aura of the abyss. How could such a forbidden item be presented in front of an Elven Prince who had sided with the United Holy Kingdom? Wasn't this courting death?
However, Prince Yasuo was not angry. Instead, he looked at the sword sternly and could not help but reach out to touch it.
Apple Pie was about to stop him, but Char tugged her.
[Prepare to draw his blood!]
[Ah?]
Just as she was trying to figure out what he meant, the prince's finger touched the sword. The [Chaos Curse] on the sword immediately took effect, and the prince scurried around like a headless fly.
"Now!"
Char yelled and pounced on the prince. Apple Pie immediately pulled out a knife and cut a wound on the prince's arm.
"Felix!"
The fat merchant seemed to have woken up from a daze. He picked up the small bottle Char had thrown at him and collected all the blood. Then, he used the holy water to heal him.
Other than the prince, who was still unconscious, it was as if nothing had happened when the guards rushed in.
