Chapter 450: Meeting the Unfilial Son Again, Making Proper Arrangements

Vincent stood on the top of the city wall and looked down at the 10-man team that was covered in dust.

Linus, who was standing at the front of the team, was still wearing the high priest robe. He was wearing half a golden mask to cover his burned face. However, from his stubble and lack of vitality in his eyes, it was not difficult to see his current decadent mood.

Back then, when Vincent and the others were making a scene, Linus had taken the opportunity to subdue a group of young Dark Elves in Dark Yuan City. He led a group of more than 30 Dark Elves to chase after Vincent and the others.

However, a sudden explosion in Devil Flame City caused the small group of Linus’s subordinates to die. On the way out of Devil Flame City, they encountered the ancient Zerg and lost another group of subordinates. In the end, Linus only had nine men left.

Vincent muttered and sighed, “It seems that Linus has not been doing well recently!”

He did not have a good expression toward this unfilial son who had forced his father to death. He only cared about the instructions given to him by others and did not want to make things difficult for himself.

At the same time, Vincent also saw that in the camp of the seven apostles in the distance, there were faint figures flashing. It seemed like they were reorganizing their troops.

The apostles who wanted to enter the Imperial City were very dissatisfied when they found out that Vincent was one step ahead of them and had become a high-ranking official in Imperial City.

Fortunately, Vincent knew how to use his power to suppress the seven apostles.

However, at that moment, Linus and the others once again requested to enter the Imperial City. This was undoubtedly adding salt to the wounds of the seven apostles. It was very likely that the apostles would be provoked by this and were planning to lead their troops to charge over.

After thinking about it, Vincent shook his head helplessly. For Linus’s safety, he turned around and walked down the city wall, ordering for the soldiers to open the city gates.

Vincent walked out of the city gates. He looked at Linus indifferently and asked in a deep voice, “Who are you? What are you here for?”

Linus looked at the Dark Elves in front of him who were calm and composed. There was even some arrogance on their faces. He could not help but feel a little surprised. He quickly replied sincerely, “We are believers who have rushed over from Dark Yuan City. We would like to enter the city to worship the statue of the god of Gajero in the Imperial City. In order to obtain the blessings of the gods, we hope that you will be able to accommodate us!”

Vincent shook his head and said, “No! Without permission, no one is allowed to enter the Imperial City. This is the rule set by the oracles! Do you see the seven tents outside? Those are the only seven apostles left in this world. Even if they wanted to enter the Imperial City, they are not allowed to. Don’t even think about it. Just return to where you came from! Otherwise, when the apostles rush over, they will vent their anger on you!”

Linus only had the strength of a level 40 creature. He was indeed one of the top experts in Dark Yuan City. However, when he heard about the seven apostles, he could not help but feel a wave of worry in his heart. He then asked Vincent, “Seven apostles? Aren’t there twelve apostles in this world?”

Vincent looked at Linus with a smile and nodded, “That’s right. There were twelve apostles in the past, but so far, five of them have died at the hands of outsiders. So now, there are only seven of them left!”

Linus’s expression tightened and he exclaimed in shock, “What? Those outsiders have already killed five apostles!”

Linus had an indescribable expression on his face. He was shocked and seemed to blame himself. If he had killed the outsiders in Dark Yuan City, he would not have caused a disaster within the Elf Race.

Vincent saw this and thought that Linus was still unrepentant. He still seemed to believe in Gajero. He then frowned and urged him, “You should leave quickly! The seven apostles who were rejected are not in a good mood. I saw them starting to mobilize their troops just now. Be careful or you will be slaughtered on the spot!”

Linus gritted his teeth and said, “We have obtained a Heavenly Demon Token and completed the mission! According to the rules, we can enter the Imperial City to meet the oracles, right?”

“What, you have obtained the Heavenly Demon Token?”

Vincent looked at Linus in surprise. He did not expect Linus to have obtained the key to enter Imperial City.

However, Vincent did not know what kind of mission Linus had obtained from the Heavenly Demon Token. Could it be that he would also have to kill an elf?

If that was the case, Linus would not be stained with the blood of the elves, right?

Linus nodded at Vincent and took out a Heavenly Demon Token from his storage ring. He said, “This Heavenly Demon Token requires us to source for an Origin Divine Tree. There is an Origin Divine Tree in our Dark Yuan City that has been treasured for generations. Our trip is to hand over this tree to the oracles of Imperial City!”

As Linus spoke, a Dark Elf walked out from behind him. He raised the storage ring in his hand and took out an Origin Divine Tree that was more than three meters tall and placed it in front of Vincent.

Vincent raised his head and looked at the Origin Divine Tree. This was the first time he had seen a complete treasure from the Elf Race. The trunk and branches of the Origin Divine Tree were emitting a very dazzling light. They were also constantly emitting a thick and powerful aura.

After Linus and the other Dark Elves felt the aura of the Origin Divine Tree, their spirits were lifted, as if they had been reborn.

Vincent said in a low voice with no expression, “Since you are so sincere, then follow me into the city!”

Since Linus had a legitimate reason for entering, it was not right for him to directly reject it. At the same time, a completely new idea emerged in Vincent’s heart.

The stubborn Linus might actually be of use!

After seeing that Vincent had finally agreed, Linus quickly gestured for his subordinates to keep the Origin Divine Tree and led everyone into the Imperial City behind Vincent.

When they walked through the streets filled with guards, Linus and his subordinates could not help but frown. The atmosphere in the entire city made them feel uncomfortable.

Linus asked Vincent with a blank expression, “May I ask why the soldiers in the Imperial City are so serious? And why are there no residents walking around the city?”

Vincent smiled and said, “In the Imperial City, regardless of whether it is the ordinary residents or the soldiers, they can all receive the will of God. Hence, they gave up on the ability to think for themselves voluntarily and are only responsible for listening to God’s guidance. They will do whatever God tells them to do. When God does not issue a decree, they can only maintain their current state!”

“What? Then what’s the difference between this and a walking corpse?”

Linus questioned Vincent with a puzzled expression, his tone seemed to carry some anger.

Vincent could not help but turn his head to glance at Linus, gently nodding his head before retracting his gaze. He then continued to lead the way. In his heart, he was lamenting that this Linus was not an idiot who had gone crazy because of Gajero.

However, if he wanted him to completely understand the true face of Gajero, he would probably need to see more of the truth!

“Let me remind you. This is Imperial City. There are some things that you can say, but there are some things that you have to keep in your heart even if you want to say them. Otherwise, sooner or later, you will be in big trouble!” reminded Vincent.

Linus asked without any fear, “What? In the Imperial City, do Dark Elves not even have the right to speak freely? Don’t tell me that the oracles who live here will kill me because of a single sentence?”

Vincent shook his head, smiled, and said, “Don’t worry, killing you is not enough! But there are some punishments that are suitable for you, such as turning you into the same state as the surrounding soldiers. Believe me, this is a very easy thing for the Lord oracles!”

After hearing Vincent’s seemingly teasing advice, Linus immediately shut his mouth obediently. The reason why he had walked all the way from Dark Yuan City and never turned back even if his team had suffered heavy casualties was to come to Imperial City. He wanted to see whether his father was right all along.

As a result, Linus had already abandoned the belief that he valued the most. Therefore, even if he had to face death, he was not afraid. It was just that Linus was not willing to die until he had investigated what had happened in Imperial City!

At that moment, Vincent suddenly stopped and pointed to a hotel by the street, he said to Linus and the others, “You guys can stay here for now! This is the largest inn in the Imperial City, and there are many customers going in and out every day. It can help you understand the customs of Imperial City!”

Linus turned his head to look at the door of the inn in shock. A hint of worry and resistance flashed in his eyes. He then asked, “Shouldn’t we meet the oracles directly? Why do we have to stay here first?”

Vincent revealed a very sincere smile and said softly, “Meeting the oracles requires an appointment. You can stay here for the time being. I will report to the oracles immediately. The earliest I can arrange for you to meet the oracles is tomorrow. Do you want to sleep on the streets again? Don’t blame me for not reminding you. The streets and alleys of the Imperial City are filled with guards. If you stay on the streets after dark, you will be treated as intruders!”

Linus did not hesitate anymore. He turned to his subordinate behind him and said, “Let’s go and stay in the inn!”

The few Dark Elves who had followed Linus all the way from Dark Yuan City were naturally extremely loyal to Linus. After hearing Linus’s orders, they followed him to the ninth floor without hesitation.

As Vincent watched Linus and the others enter the inn, he could not help but reveal a mocking smile.

What Vincent said to Linus was not wrong at all. He had also investigated the houses and residences in the Imperial City. There were indeed many residents in the inn.

However, after these residents became zombies, they had transformed the inn into a very strange place. This will allow Linus to see how terrifying Imperial City is under the rule of the demons!

Vincent sighed with a smile, “Have a good dream!”
