Chapter 1317: Chapter 783: Lord and Lunar Temple Holy Maiden (Part 3)_1 Chapter 1317: Chapter 783: Lord and Lunar Temple Holy Maiden (Part 3)_1 “Your Excellency, I can clearly hear the little calculations you are making in your mind from across this table.”

Teresa elegantly lifted her cup, took a sip of tea, and calmly said, “As things stand now, it’s true that you and I share common enemies, but that doesn’t mean we are allies. The Moon Palace never collaborates with valueless partners unless you can prove your worth, Mr. Lane.”

“In addition, I hope you understand that your threat just now of mutual destruction will not be a factor in my decision to withdraw my troops.”

“Since the Era of Blankness, my Dark Elf Kingdom has faced numerous enemies many times stronger than ourselves, teetering on the brink of collapse, but we have never surrendered. Not only have we survived tenaciously, but we have also made those enemies pay a heavy price.”

Teresa put down her teacup, her starry eyes revealing determination and pride: “Please remember, Your Excellency, that we Dark Elves will never bend to coercion or intimidation. The blades of formidable adversaries have been unable to break our backbone, let alone mere threats!”

“Saintess Madam, your Dark Elves’ unyielding spirit is indeed admirable, but do not underestimate my resolve.”

Leo Ray gazed at Teresa’s brilliant starry eyes, his tone equally resolute: “Since the moment I arrived in this world, I have faced treacherous paths and demon beasts. They have sharp teeth and claws, but they have never stopped me from moving forward, only to fall at my feet.”

“Whether it be the Mountain Fortress Defense Battle or the Eastern Region Conquest Battle, I have been proving step by step that the fate of those who belittle and underestimate me, this Otherworldly Lord, is to simply inscribe the words ‘foolish’ on their tombstone.”

Leo Ray likewise took a sip of the black tea that Elusa had just brought him, and then spoke solemnly: “Saintess Madam, in my dictionary, there is only the high sun and no sunset. If you really intend to march westward, what awaits you is nothing but endless fire and scorching heat.”

Saying this, Leo Ray’s tone shifted as he smiled: “However, since you agree that we share a common enemy, things become much simpler.”

It was clear to Leo Ray that Teresa’s earlier remarks revealed that she needed the information he held about the Black Abyss Brotherhood.

As for the specifics, it was the appearance of the man behind the Nightmare Knight’s skull mask.

The Nightmare Knight was defeated by him, and only he knew what the Nightmare Knight looked like.

“Presumably, Teresa wants to use this information to investigate the true identity of the Nightmare Knight.”

“Such a powerful Tier 5 senior expert, and an infamous taboo Occupations, even if he has been in seclusion all this time, there must be some clues.”

“And once the true identity of the Nightmare Knight is investigated, perhaps it will be possible to find further leads about the Black Abyss Brotherhood.”

“After all, this huge and mysterious organization seems to have appeared out of thin air, their emergence is too bizarre and unbelievable.”

Leo Ray put down his teacup and nodded thoughtfully.

He was well aware of this.

However, although he had secretly distributed the magic portraits of the Nightmare Knight and No. 7 Black-robed Person, he had yet to receive any clues.

Except for the three characters ‘Rebel Disciple’ in the attribute description.

“If she can find clues about the Nightmare Knight’s identity, it would also be a significant breakthrough for me.”

“But before sharing the information with her, it is important to make it clear to her that I will never submit. Only then can I truly communicate with her on equal terms, instead of being led by the nose.”

“What’s more, it’s obviously important for her to temporarily halt her attack. As the Moon Palace’s Holy Maiden who protects the Saint Night Royal Family, this shouldn’t be a difficult task.”

With these thoughts, Leo Ray maintained a faint smile and said to Teresa, “Saintess Madam, as I said before, since you’re requesting my help and seeking information from me, shouldn’t you show some sincerity first?”

After a brief pause, Leo Ray continued, raising his eyebrows: “As you said, even though we are not allies, we don’t need to fight each other to the death, do we?”

On the other side of the dining table, Teresa looked at Leo Ray’s annoying expression and her mouth involuntarily twitched.

Logically speaking, she should have the upper hand in this negotiation since she held the power of life and death over him.

He should have no choice but to please her with full disclosure to earn a slim chance at survival. Even if she decided to spare him, it should have been seen as a gesture of her benevolence.

Unexpectedly, Teresa found herself being manipulated by her adversary, leaving her needing to show sincerity in order to obtain the required information!

“Your Excellency, your skill at being obstinate is indeed unparalleled.”

Teresa sighed lightly and shook her head helplessly: “No matter, actually attacking you was not my original intention. As the Holy Maiden of the Moon Palace, my main duty is to protect the Saint Night Kingdom, not to expand its territory.”
