Starting With 3 S-Class Talents

Vincent walked in and saw an incomparably glorious palace.

The towering dome, the wide walls, and more than ten pillars carved out of black crystals made the place look like a heavenly palace.

At the end of the palace, there were eight highchairs, each sat a demon.

There were dozens of Dark Elves standing in front and behind those demons, serving them as personal servants. Moreover, the Dark Elves here looked even more possessed!

When Vincent walked into the palace, the eight demons all turned to look at him at the same time.

Vincent’s heart could not help but beat wildly at that moment because he guessed that the special item that could control the Dark Elves was most likely in the palace, or perhaps it was on a demon.

However, no matter how nervous Vincent was, the expression on his face was well-controlled. He maintained the anticipation and nervousness of a Dark Elf when he saw the demons.

The eight demons soon looked away one after another because they did not sense anything strange from Vincent. They all let their guard down.

When Vincent walked to the center of the palace, a demon suddenly asked, “Where did you get the Heavenly Demon Token?”

Vincent had already guessed that he would face such an inquiry, so he had prepared a corresponding excuse on the way there. After all, his current identity was Jacob. As long as he followed Jacob’s trajectory, he would be able to come up with a suitable reason.

This was because Vincent knew clearly that the demons were only concerned about the results and not the process.

“Reporting to the god’s envoys, I accidentally found the corpse of General Miller in the wilderness outside Devil Flame City. I also found the Heavenly Demon Token in the grass not far from his corpse. When I realized the contents of the token, I went deep into the forest and found a Fire Elf with the strength of a level 40 creature. I captured him alive successfully!”

When the eight demons heard this, they looked at Lopez in Vincent’s hand.

Lopez clearly heard Vincent’s words and realized that he was in a dangerous situation. His eyes flashed with extreme fear, and he began to struggle like crazy. Unfortunately, his strength had been completely crippled by Vincent. He was unable to break free from Vincent’s restraints, and he was unable to use his ability to prove his true identity.

The demon who was sitting in the middle, whose status was obviously higher than his other companions, roared, “As expected of a level 40 creature. Although the elves who don’t believe in my Lord Gajero are all trash, to be able to rise to such a level is already considered outstanding among trash! I’m giving you a chance now. As long as you choose to believe in my Lord Gajero sincerely, I’ll give you a chance to live!”

After hearing this, Lopez immediately felt that he still had a chance to live. He nodded repeatedly to express his agreement.

The demon could not help but laugh and say, “I didn’t expect you to be so spineless. Put him down, I want to see him change his beliefs on the spot!”

When the demon said the second half of his sentence, he turned his gaze to look at Vincent.

Vincent nodded slightly and threw Lopez onto the ground casually. He then helped him remove the chains on his body.

After feeling like he had regained his freedom, Lopez turned his head and glared at Vincent with a face full of hatred. He then turned around and bowed toward the eight demons in the highest form and made a pious prayer.

Vincent could not help but sneer. He knew that Lopez wanted to kill him after proving his identity. However, he was not afraid at all because he knew that Lopez had no chance of proving his innocence!

Lopez closed his eyes and clasped his hands in front of his chest. He was reciting Gajero’s real name with incomparable devotion silently. He prostrated himself on the ground and carried out the conversion ritual.

However, even though Lopez completed all the steps meticulously, his body did not change at all. He still had the appearance of a Fire Elf!

Vincent was trying his best to hold back his laughter. As he had used the modification authority to modify Lopez’s appearance, Lopez’s appearance would not change even though he had changed his faith. Furthermore, Lopez had always been a Dark Elf. Even if he performed the ritual of changing faith ten thousand times, it would not have any effect on his appearance.

Furthermore, Lopez did not have any psionic power left in his body. No matter how pious he prayed, he would not be able to get a response from Gajero. That was also the reason why Vincent dared to bring the living Lopez to meet the demons.

Vincent sighed softly in his heart, “Stop fantasizing. You have no chance at all!”

At that moment, Lopez had long forgotten his hatred toward Vincent, because he only wanted to prove his faith. However, when he realized that there were no changes to his appearance, the expression on his face became increasingly nervous and frightened. Sweat instantly drenched his clothes but he still did not forget to complete the actions of praying meticulously.

However, at that moment, the demon sitting on the high seat could no longer watch. He raised his hand and patted the handle of the chair as he roared, “B*stard, I thought you were a coward and a good-for-nothing. I didn’t expect you to humiliate us in such a way! As long as the level 40 elves perform the ritual of changing their faith, they will definitely receive a response from my Lord Gajero. However, you still haven’t changed at all until now. This means that you still believe in that trash-like Fire Elf King in your heart. Little did you know that your Elf King will be destroyed, both body and soul, in no time!”

Lopez lay on the ground, trembling. He did not dare to move, because he knew that he would not be able to bear the wrath of the demons.

Vincent narrowed his eyes slightly. This was because this was the first time he had heard the news of the Elf Kings from the demons. Moreover, judging by the tone of the demons, he could tell that they knew the whereabouts of the Fire Elf King and also understood the current situation of the Elf Kings.

Vincent sighed silently in his heart, “It seems that I have come to the right place!”

The demon who was sitting high above the palace suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Vincent as he asked, “You, what is your name?”

Vincent quickly answered, “My name is Jacob. I am a mercenary who has been in hiding for many years!”

The demon nodded. He was not concerned about Vincent’s identity. Instead, he said impatiently, “I’ve had enough of this Fire Elf. You can now complete the final step of the Heavenly Demon Token. As long as you chop off his head personally, you can make a request!”

“I’m happy to oblige!”

Vincent smiled and nodded. He then pulled out the Return Journey of the Dead from his waist that he had transformed into the appearance of a sword. He looked at Lopez who was lying on the ground and was about to faint. He raised his hand and swung his blade down.

When Vincent swung his blade through Lopez’s neck, he whispered, “Modify the color!”

Lopez’s head was cut off on the spot, and fiery red blood sprayed out.

As the blood of the Dark Elves was black, Vincent had to use modification authority to modify the color of his blood to red.

Furthermore, Vincent believed that with his level of control over the modification authority, he would not be discovered by anyone, including the eight demons sitting above him!

As expected, the eight demons did not notice anything unusual. Instead, they nodded repeatedly and expressed their approval and praise for Vincent.

The demon sitting on the high seat said softly, “You can now propose the reward that you want!”

Vincent pretended to think and said, “I’ve been wandering around like a lonely ghost for many years. I’ve had enough of living in the wilderness, so I want to settle down in Imperial City. From now on, I want to receive the protection of the oracles!”

The eight demons looked at each other as if they were surprised by Vincent’s request.

This was because his request was too simple. If it were any other Dark Elf who had completed the Heavenly Demon Token mission, they would either come to the Imperial City to ask for the position of a City Lord, or to seek a way to become stronger. However, this Dark Elf before them was not only decisive in killing but was also not greedy. All he wanted was to live in the Imperial City!

However, the demons were still demons after all. They were not a race like the Protoss who had nothing better to do. Even if they thought that Vincent’s reward was too light, they would not be wary of him.

“Alright, we will agree to your request! From today onward, you are a legal resident of Imperial City. We will also appoint a high official position for you so that you can rest easy. At the same time, we can tell everyone that you have received the protection of the demons!”

Vincent immediately put on a delighted expression. He then asked with anticipation, “It is my honor to be able to serve the god’s envoys. May I know what kind of position you are going to arrange for me?”

The demon immediately said, “From today onward, you will be our representative in the Imperial City. From now on, all our orders, as well as receiving the worship of the apostles and communicating with the City Lords will be in your hands! However, you will have to come here every day and receive our instructions. You will also have to deal with various matters. You are not allowed to make decisions on your own. Do you understand?”

Vincent nodded and said respectfully, “I understand!”

However, in Vincent’s heart, he was secretly sneering. He knew that the reason why the demons had arranged such a position for him was that they were too lazy to handle the things in the Elf World personally! They had been guarding the Elf Race for many years and had long gotten used to the luxurious life in the palace.

The many privileges given to Vincent at that moment were actually the responsibilities of the demons. They did not give him any real and effective rights!

However, even though he had seen through the plans of these demons, Vincent chose to accept these arrangements willingly because they were exactly what he wanted. This would help him to search around the Imperial City more rationally and not be suspected by anyone.

Of course, Vincent had also suspected that those puppet-like Dark Elves might not have the ability to be suspicious at all!
