Chapter 1224: Dark Region (8)

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…”

“They’re here.”

Before the old man finished his sentence, Mini Bubble Gum interrupted, tossing the handheld gaming device aside, and lifted her head to look outside. She squinted and mumbled under her breath.

“Hmm… They split into three groups—trying to surround us, huh… Interesting. These dark elves are asking for death. If it weren’t for the time constraint, Leader would have already crushed these shameless bugs over 180 times in the game… Ah, this reminds me! One of the NPCs here scammed my equipment. That damn dark-skinned wh*re, I still remember her name… Yes, this time I will find and clobber that bast*rd!”

Confusing virtual-reality and the real world unreasonably, Mini Bubble Gum didn’t feel like she did anything wrong. She waved her fists around, gnashed her teeth, and cursed ferociously. Upon witnessing her reaction, the inn boss couldn’t help but take a few steps back in terror. Meanwhile, Angelina and Anne didn’t have any reactions. As long as one got to know Mini Bubble Gum long enough, one would know that she had a habit of intermittently acting crazy. Not only that, but she would also speak using some unknown terms. At such moments, it was best to leave her alone, since she would return to her usual self after acting up.

“Alright!”

While the crowd had such ‘disrespectful’ thoughts, Mini Bubble Gum clapped her hands and returned to normal. Then, she revealed an unusual smile, turned around to size up the crowd, and made a hand gesture. Upon seeing that hand gesture, Anne wiped her hands clean and picked up the shield erected beside her. Angelina also stood up and flattened the creases on her clothes. Nell walked out of the shadows and bowed respectfully, unsheathing the thin sword from her waist. According to the original plan, everything should be in place. But…

“This won’t work. We’re still lacking one…”

Mini Bubble Gum frowned all of a sudden. She turned to Anne, Angelina, Nell, and nodded in displeasure. She closed her eyes and lifted her head to look at the ceiling.

“Leader, we have an emergency. We’re still lacking one.”

“Lacking one? What are you talking about? Are the enemies that powerful?”

Upon hearing Mini Bubble Gum’s spiritual communication, Rhode was taken aback. He couldn’t figure out what exactly she was up to. But Mini Bubble Gum also didn’t seem to want to explain her intentions.

“No-no-no, Leader. It isn’t about strength. It’s about math instead. The math must be right. How can we raid a dungeon without a five-man party? How about you wake Little Icy up? We’re lacking an ADC (Attack Damage Carry). Why is she sleeping when it’s time for a raid? She thinks she can receive part of the loot by doing nothing? When the time comes, I will not give her anything!”

“… Are you done with your nonsense…”

Upon hearing Mini Bubble Gum’s words, Rhode shook his head helplessly and extended his right arm. Shortly after, along with his action, a summoning ritual emanated above his right hand. He waved his fingers gently.

After a few seconds, an illusory card drifted across the floor. Shortly after, as the dark, gloomy aura dispersed, a young lady clad in a tattered princess dress and carrying a huge sword on her back appeared before everyone with an odd smile. She removed the sword from her back and struck the ground in a loud bang. Her eyes filled with insanity glinted in a chilly, murderous intent. The young lady opened her mouth and unveiled a peculiar smile.

“Heh, heh. Is it time to kill someone…?”

“That’s right!”

Mini Bubble Gum didn’t comment on the young lady’s weird outfit. On the contrary, she nodded in satisfaction, turned around, and strode out of the inn in large strides.

“Alright, gather up! Time to raid the dungeon! Anne—you and Angelina take the top lane. Nell—you and that girl take the bottom lane. I will take the mid lane!”

Mini Bubble Gum ordered, raised her hands, and revealed a joyous smile across her face. Then, she yelled.

“Thirty seconds to battle. Get ready to crush them!”
