Chapter 308 - Nurturing A King, Adding Fuel To The Fire
Vincent"s heart was fluctuating with emotions after listening to Lilis"s background.
It seemed that there was also someone who was like him among the 10,000 races of the Black Hole. They were constantly working hard to ensure long-term peace for their own race.
Lilis had once taken a brave step towards the Black Hole world just like him. However, when Vincent looked at her current state, it was likely that the fighting spirit in her heart had already been extinguished by the danger within the Black Hole.
After thinking about it, Vincent could not help but say to Lilis, "Whether you believe what I said or not, you can at least determine that I have really been to the Beast world. Currently, the Beast Race is in a state of endless waste. With your strength, you will be able to bring more help to your companions and your family. Therefore, no matter what, I think you should try it with me and see if you can leave the capital of Ultimate Evil. Moreover, I can guarantee you that as long as we leave the capital of Ultimate Evil, I will be able to send you back to the Beast Race!"
A fighting spirit suddenly rose in Lilis"s lifeless eyes. She muttered to herself, "That"s right! No matter what, the beasts need me to go back. Moreover, I"ve been away for so long, and I have a lot of valuable information to bring back. I have to leave the capital of Ultimate Evil!"
Vincent saw the hope in Lilis"s eyes and nodded in satisfaction. He said, "It"s good that you understand what you should do! Now, I"ll give you some time to consider whether you want to come with us. If you have thought it through, please tell me immediately, because I still have things that I need you to do!"
With that, Vincent stood up and left. He walked towards Irene who was discussing the rules for surviving in the underground world in the future.
"In the future, only those who are powerful and have the means to obtain enough food can become the king of the underground world! However, all the decisions that they make can only be carried out with the agreement of the Elder Council formed by the elites of all parties! If the actions of the king endanger everyone in the underground world, the Elder Council has the right to remove the position and authority of the king. They can then choose a new king for the underground world!"
Irene had gradually found the feeling of becoming a king. She exhorted everyone in detail.
In the beginning, the creatures only listened to Irene"s orders because they were afraid of Vincent"s strength. However, they were soon attracted to the rules that Irene had told them.
Before this, everyone in the underground world lived in despair with no tomorrow. They did not know when they would starve to death or when they would be discovered. They also did not know when they should gather because they were weak and afraid.
However, with the rules that Irene had set, they believed that the underground world could continue to develop for a long time. It could even continue to be pa.s.sed down from generation to generation!
"Yes, we will obey Miss Irene"s orders!"
The first Elder Council, which was composed of elders and a few experts above level-30, stood up and bowed respectfully to Irene.
Irene sat up and exhaled a little tiredly. She smiled and said to everyone, "Alright, since everyone understands, you can go back now!"
After everyone received the order and left, Irene was about to stand up when she suddenly felt a large hand on her shoulder. It was a familiar feeling. She knew that the person behind her must be Vincent!
"Can you not let me do this kind of thing in the future? I feel that you are more suitable to be a king than I am!"
Irene leaned back gently and used Vincent"s arm to support her weight. She sighed coquettishly.
Vincent was not in the mood to joke at that moment. Instead, he said very seriously, "Originally, I was too lazy to care about the lives of these creatures. Moreover, I have no reason to care! But you are different. You are very familiar with this place and have sympathy for the creatures here. Once you have these feelings, you have an equal responsibility. Therefore, this matter can only be completed by you personally! Moreover, I also want to let you experience the taste of being a king through this kind of practice!"
After hearing this, Irene replied in surprise, "The taste of being a king? Even if I have experienced it, what"s the use? Don"t tell me that I can really become a king?"
Vincent nodded slightly but he did not let Irene see it. This was because, at this time, he was still not sure whether the guess in his heart could be realized or not.
If Irene returned to the Spirit world, and she alone represented the entire race, was it possible for her to become the ruler of the Spirit Race?
However, Vincent could not tell Irene any of his guesses. He could only let her return to the Spirit world. He wanted her to feel the pride that existed in her bloodline and understand the responsibility that the history of the race had given her. Only when she chooses to pa.s.s down the legacy of the Spirit Race voluntarily would she be qualified to become the king of the Spirit Race!
Irene could not understand Vincent"s thoughts at that moment, nor could she see Vincent"s solemn expression. She only raised her hand, which was filled with storage rings. She smiled and said, "Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared. Even the aircraft has always been with me. But when exactly are we going to leave?"
Vincent collected his thoughts, lowered his head, and said to Irene, "Soon! It"s just that the fire in the capital of Ultimate Evil is not strong enough yet. I still need to go and get more firewood later. Just sit here and wait for me. I will find an excuse for you to brush off the evil lord. When the perfect time comes, I will immediately rush over to look for you!"
Irene nodded lightly. It was already a very relaxed and comfortable thing for her to not meet with the Ultimate Evil Lord anymore. She then told Vincent, "You be careful. I will always be waiting patiently for you here!"
Vincent nodded. He then turned around and left. He found the nearest manhole cover and returned to the surface of the capital of Ultimate Evil.
After closing the cover and carefully checking his surroundings, Vincent realized that he was currently in the back alley of the Paradise of Desire.
As the Bards were considered to be the top race in the capital of Ultimate Evil, no one dared to gather in the nearby alleys. At the same time, it made the entrance of the sewers there seem very hidden, so it would not be easily noticed.
Vincent tidied up his clothes and walked straight to the entrance of Paradise of Desire.
Although Vincent was the nominal owner of the Paradise of Desire, the creatures that managed the business were all members of the Bards. After all, Marcus would never be willing to part with such an important business, and Vincent did not have the extra energy to focus on the business at that point in time, so he was happy to have someone to help him manage the Paradise of Desire.
In front of the main door, the security guard who knew Vincent greeted respectfully, "Lord Fire Asura! You"re just in time. The chief is waiting for you inside. He has something important to discuss with you!"
"Okay, I understand!" replied Vincent in a calm tone.
He then walked into the Paradise of Desire all the way to the office.
At this time, in Vincent"s office, Marcus was holding a large pile of scrolls. He was constantly trying to learn the method to modify authority.
However, after countless failures, Marcus was so angry that his face was twisted.
