I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1820: 24.81 Sixth Violet Star - Vega and Long Tian

At the Killer Pavilion’s Underground Prison

Upon Long Tian’s arrival to the pavilion the former elf king Vega no longer wasted any time and brought the marshal to meet the intruder he had caught and tortured by his nephews. His state is weird as if something within his soul was broken. He was dazed most of the time as if he had lost his soul. Long Tian was surprised with this state of the prisoner.

The marshal asked, ”What happened to him?”

”He... was tortured badly and his mind broke. However, he will still answer you questions. He might look like that but when you touch him he...” The Elf King Vega pokes the death soldier’s former leader and he starts trembling as if suffering the worst nightmare in his life.

”Aah!! I will talk. Please... I will tell you everything. Just kill me. Let me die. I want to die...”

These words were shouted in a loop as the prisoner went insane. Long Tian was doubting about this man being able to answer any of his questions but he still did try asking.

”Who sent you?” The Marshal asked.

The prisoner answered, ”Pei... Pei Clan’s young master... Pei Jin.”

”You are lying. That is just a child!” Retorted Long Tian.

Of course, this was just him trying to dig more information but in reality, he already guessed that Pei Jin from the Pei Clan had ordered this mission. They had long known that the child is the only child in his body but the soul is most likely an adult who is as old as they are. Which is why he can command such a massacre at such a young age.

The prisoner shouted, ”I’m not lying. He is a devil. He took away all our family . If we don’t listen he will kill them and feed their blood and flesh to his beast egg!”

”He killed people. One person every day! This is regardless of gender, young or old. He kills them all.”

”The old patriarch. He no longer exists. That devil had longed to replace him. All of his relatives were also under his control. If they dare to go against him, he would kill them without mercy.”

”Kill me... Kill me! I want to die. Just kill me please!”

In the end, Long Tian gave him mercy and killed the man on the spot. They saw the man slowly close his eyes with a peaceful smile on his face. It was such a strange feeling seeing someone wish for a death so much like this man did. Even though Long Tian didn’t know what the former elf king or the assassins of the Killer Pavilion did, just this one man’s reaction alone is enough to say how powerful their means are.

The Elf King asked, ”Is it alright for you to kill him? Don’t you need him alive as a proof of what the Pei Clan had done?

”He can’t be used. Seeing how he wanted death so much but doesn’t dare to do it himself. He is already broken. It’s better to free him at least as a human,” Long Tian said.

”That’s why... I wanted to know. What have you done for him to end up like that?”

The Marshal asked but when he asked this question he was observing everyone around the former Elf King. He noticed that even though Vega and First kept a poker face, the other assassins shivered as he recalled something they never wanted to remember. Then he realized that the state of that man was something not done by any of them.

Long Tian narrowed his eyes and asked, ”You didn’t do it. Someone had done it instead? Who was it?”

”I will not talk,” The Elf King Vega said.

First added, ”Please don’t ask me. I don’t want to die.”

The assassins around them all shook their heads like chickens in drugs and understood that he cannot ask them anything. The only thing he can do is wait for Xie Yun to return as First and Vega will definitely tell him what happened. Only then can he ask him the details and learn the reason for the fear these people have.

Long Tian no longer questioned them about the dead one and said, ”There might be a few more waves of enemies after this. Please catch as much as you can if possible.”

”I will try to do so. Is it okay if they are missing a limb or two right?” The former Elf King, Vega said.

The Marshal said, ”As long as they are alive. There is no problem.”

”What should we do about the Pei Clan? Send people to investigate them?” Vega asked.

He had longed to investigate that clan after learning that they are the mastermind of this event. However, since he cannot like the pavilion so easily without someone taking his place. He wanted to ask the marshal if he planned on sneaking in there and to ask him to leave that to him while the latter stays in the pavilion and protects it for him temporarily.

However, the former elf king noticed the sudden ugly expression that surfaced the marshal’s face and realized that maybe they’ve already sent people in their and the result is more tragic than he expected

The former elf king squinted his eyes and said, ”If you’ve already done it then it only means that the enemy is much more powerful than I expected. As long as we are not against something akin to a god it shouldn’t be a problem.”

”...” The Marshal who knew that the youngest of the Pei Clan is most likely an old ghost from the future timeline. Though he cannot be considered a god, he must be more slippery than old men like his father and other old big shots in the military.

The Elf King Vega noticed his sudden silence and guessed that even though he didn’t guess right it was close to the truth and felt sorry for his friend and the Long Clan being targeted by such beings.

He said, ”How unlucky are you that you have a sinister opponent with an old sly fox existence who is not even in an adult body. This world is surreal, alright.”

”How about helping us again, Elf King?” The Marshal, Long Tian asked.

Vega shrugs his shoulders and said, ”If you can sign an alliance with the beastman race why not?”

Sigh~

”That is also quite hard to achieve,” said the marshal as he pinched his throbbing temples.

Vega said, ”At least you have a chance. My brother-in-law is not that bad. He is just overprotective and a leader who is willing to sacrifice himself for his race. He is not much different from the old mashal. It’s just those foolish scientists in your race, you should have stopped them before it was too late. It was only by living in the ancient forest that I learned how scarce the number of children from their race.”

”I’ve learned that the beastmen race can only give birth twice in their whole life. That’s why even if their beast eggs or cubs are mixed or not, they love them unconditionally and are overprotective of them.”

”I know. That was the biggest mistake the human race had made. Aren’t we suffering for it now?” Long Tian said.

The former Elf King, Vega said, ”It was well deserved. The problem is that the culprits are already all dead and you have to suffer for their mistake.”

”No. They are not all dead,” said Long Tian thinking of the result of the investigation he got about that hidden laboratory at the ancient forest.

Vega was stunned by this response and asked, ”What do you mean?”

”It is a bit unsure but... It seems that the mastermind who backed that laboratory is still alive. It’s just we don’t know if it was him for sure or someone else,” said Long Tian but he didn’t tell the former elf king the details.

The former elf king said, ”You can use this to convince my brother-in-law, as long as you find the mastermind their hatred will shift from all of the human race to that sole being. But make sure it was the truth and provide proof.”

”I know. Once everything has been gathered I will inform the leader of the beastmen race about it during the year end appointment we’ve made,” said Long Tian. ”I’ve overstayed. The spies are mostly resolved by now. It’s time for me to go home.”

”Alright. I will send a few to send you out and to scout the surroundings as well. Be careful on your way back. If something happens to you that one surnamed Mu would definitely storm here in rage,” said Vega.

Hahaha~

Long Tian said, ”News comes to you so fast. Did the wind tell you about that as well?”

”Well maybe~” said Long Tian.

A pause came in between the two of them. As they are from different factions there will always be a distance from one another.

The former elf king said, ”I hope that the human race doesn’t become enemies with the beastmen race. Those whom I think on your side will no longer be on your side if that truly happens.”

”What do you mean?” Long Tian’s face turned serious as he didn’t know how this elf king learned about the Ancient Beasts on their side.

However, these words were enough to tell him indirectly that he knows them. ”You’ve met them before?”

”One of my brothers-in-law is a Beast God, what do you think is his relationship with Ancient ones? At the very least, you should remember that they are not humans.” The Elf King Vega said as he sent the Marshal out of the pavilion.

However, the marshal is not a fool. Clearly, with the words from the former elf king alone was enough to tell him that the ancient lords had a relationship with the beastmen race. Maybe not the beastmen race itself but someone from that side that will make them take the side of the beastmen as long as the other is on that side.

The marshal mumbles, ”I guess becoming an ally of the beastmen race is a must.”
