Chapter 18. Yes, I’m Interested in You.
Evelyn was a contradictory yet simple person.
She was very stubborn and difficult to change, but once she changed her opinion about something or someone, she would firmly believe in it.
She had always thought that Char was either sent to kill her or to humiliate her, so she had been hostile to her even though Char had saved her.
After that, Char instigated the Demonic Beast Soldiers to fight back, their hostility turned into hatred…
It would be very difficult to repair this crack with normal methods.
Not to mention the difficulty, she was about to die, so how could she make up for it?
In “Fantasy World”, other than the village chief who was represented by a number, the other NPCs were unique. If they died, they really died, and their responsibilities would be taken over by others.
That was why Char used this method to prove her innocence.
Did you think I was here to harm you?
No, Char was here to save her.
It was impossible for her to be worried that Char would add poison to the potion…
Char brewed the potion in front of her, and he used her summoning to do so.
This was the conclusion he had come to after hundreds of reincarnations. It was the fastest and most gaudy way to dispel her worries.
There were several reasons for her injury, but whether it was the Soul Sucking Monsters, the Demonic Beast Soldiers, or the effects of the contract, they were all closely related to the abyss.
The formula for Char’s potion came from Zin’rokh.
After the Destroyer of Worlds was turned into Char’s pet in a certain round, it lay down at his feet and told him what the abyss was.
To put it simply, the abyss was an incubation pool filled with all kinds of materials and negative emotions. When Zin’rokh had nothing to do, he would soak in the pool and create a character.
As the creator, Zin’rokh knew how to create various monsters.
Char had memorized almost all the alchemy formulas.
When the two were combined, the so-called monster summoning became Char’s method of summoning materials out of thin air.
If it was not for the lack of material in the abyss, which was less than one percent of the material world, he could have finished the game even earlier. He could use the materials to replenish his magic power and strengthen himself.
He was probably the only person in the world who could complete such a dazzling strategy.
Since the potion had cured her, her debuff was wiped clean in one breath. Although her HP was still low, it was only a matter of time before she fully recovered.
At the same time, his reputation had also returned to its original state.
When Char revealed the secret with a smile, Evelyn could not help but laugh.
Char’s appearance was obviously very annoying, but she could not refute it.
The b*stard was indeed full of secrets.
“As a token of appreciation, follow me.”
Evelyn then stood up.
The moment she spoke, Char reached out as if to help her.
Evelyn stood up in surprise, not understanding what Char was going to do.
As expected, she did not use much strength and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Char caught her.
From Ksenja’s point of view, it looked as if Evelyn was leaning on Char’s hand.
Hmph! What a lewd woman!
The swordswoman was on high alert.
Even though she could not defeat her opponent, she still leaned forward and blocked like a shield!
With Char’s help, Evelyn fell into a daze.
Did he know that I would fall to the ground?
“What are you doing? Do you want me to take you to the Howling Cave?” Char said.
“You know about the Howling Cave? How did you know?” Asked Evelyn.
‘It was a secret.’
Char mouthed the answer.
“Secret, huh? Hmph…”
Evelyn glanced at Ksenja as leaned even closer to Char. She wrapped her soft arms around Char’s neck and gave him a deep kiss on the lips.
“Now, can you share your secret with me?”
The Dark Elf hugged Char, her chest pressing against him.
“I’m sorry, I’m not that kind of person,” Char said righteously, pushing her away and holding Ksenja’s hand.
If Char did not push her away by putting his hands on her breast, it would be even more convincing.
This kiss… It was exactly what Char wanted.
It had been a long time.
“Oh, is that so…”
The Dark Elf licked her lips and stood with her arms crossed, looking at Ksenja provocatively.
Ksenja hugged Char’s arm tightly and stuck close to him.
Her sense of crisis was getting stronger and stronger.
Most importantly, she could not beat Evelyn.
The atmosphere was a little tense, and Char knew it. It was not the time to say that they belonged to him. He still had to reconcile them.
“Before I leave, there are some things I want to make clear,” He said word by word to Evelyn.
“Please apologize.”
The Dark Elf was slightly taken aback. She then smiled and bowed deeply.
She had an etiquette of a Queen
“I’m sorry, my dear. I’ve frightened you,” She said.
Char chuckled.
How could he not know that this was a joke?
The position of Queen candidate was the identity that Evelyn hated the most. Those overelaborate formalities were also the things she hated the most.
She was completely trampling on the Dark Elves’ traditions.
The more the Dark Elves of Andaheim cherished and valued something, the more she wanted to tear it off, throw it on the ground, and stomp on it!
This was not an apology at all.
It was not what Char wanted either.
“You misunderstood me. I want you to apologize to Ksenja. Your words and actions just now insulted her, and you even broke her weapon,” Char said.
“Oh?”
Evelyn slowly raised her head, her purple eyes filled with disdain.
“Are you serious?”
In the end, she was still the Queen.
Even though Char knew that Evelyn was a coy little woman with a masochist’s heart hidden under her sleazy exterior… The neutral favorability could only guarantee that she would treat Char equally. In Evelyn’s eyes, Ksenja was just a dispensable accessory to Char.
How could she apologize to an accessory?
“Of course, I’m serious.”
“B*stard, I can kill you.”
“But you don’t dare to,” Char said as if he was not afraid of death at all.
“Lucius is still alive, living very well. If you want to know more, then please apologize to her. ”
He knew Evelyn very well, and she would definitely take the bait.
To this stubborn and arrogant Queen, he had to peel off her outer layer bit by bit and reveal her core before he could start conquering her again.
He had tried the normal strategy, which was to get the NPCs to do whatever they liked, just like what he had told Moonlight…
Although the result was a success, the process was…
Tsk, tsk, tsk…
He did not want to recall the process.
Sure enough, she had her weak spot, and she could not kill Char. She gritted her teeth in hatred, but could only helplessly lower her head.
“I’m sorry, Miss Ksenja”
“It’s okay, I’ve forgiven you!”
Ksenja was so easy to coax, she immediately kissed Char’s cheek delightedly, and her face turned red in embarrassment.
This interlude completely ruined Evelyn’s little plan of making fun of others, and she silently led the way.
The three of them passed through two stone doors and arrived at the Howling Cave.
It was a small underground temple, and it was also the quiet room where Evelyn prayed to Zin’rokh.
“Were the monsters that harmed the villagers born here?” Ksenja asked warily.
Char patted her hand.
“All monsters are infected by the abyss, and mana is a substance that forms the world. It’s everywhere, like a river. The descent of Zin’rokh caused the river to surge, and this place became a reservoir.”
“We can’t destroy it?”
“Yes, we can’t. Otherwise, the mana will go out of control, just like a tsunami, destroying everything.”
Their conversation was overheard by Evelyn, and she looked at Char strangely.
He was right, but with such a high level of understanding of mana, was Char really just an ordinary person?
Once again, the saying that knowledge and strength were compatible lost its credibility.
Forget it, he was full of suspicions after all.
The three of them came to the center of the cave, and Evelyn finally spoke.
However, she did not ask about Lucius.
“How do you know the real names of the Soul Sucking Monsters and the Demonic Beast Soldiers? You even knew about their original master? As their master, even I don’t know who created them.”
“Let’s talk about the price first.”
Char got up and walked to the rune cabinet as if there was no one else around. There was a stone with moss.
He scraped off the mosses and removed the cover of the cabinet. Then, under the shocked gaze of Evelyn, he opened the rune lock and took out a magic bead the size of a goose egg…
That was not all. He went to the spell box, and his finger drew a twisted pattern in the air. Like a screensaver, he opened the box and took out a Rune Greatsword that was plated with Mithril!
[Light of Dawn (Greatsword): Ancient magic weapon. Strength 25, Constitution 15. Attack power = 2.25*AD, Strength +5, Constitution +5.]
[Level 4 Dawn: Able to cast light once every day without any cost.]
“The light of dawn, reveal.”
“I want these two things. I’ll give you the answer you want.”
After saying that, Char struggled to carry the greatsword and gave it to Ksenja.
“Keep this greatsword for your use. Give the magic bead to the village chief, and he’ll know what to do.”
“But Char…” She said.
No buts,” Char smiled and said. “Alright, my dear. You can go back first. Wait for me outside.”
“No, I can’t leave you here alone!” said Ksenja, panicking.
“Think about little Tifa.” Char looked at her seriously.
As expected, Ksenja hesitated.
Her burning gaze lingered on Char’s face for a moment, and she suddenly hugged him tightly, her body wrapped around him like a pool of water that was boiling.
Tired of watching, Evelyn coughed and the two separated.
“I’ll wait for you, I’ll always wait for you! If you don’t come back, I’ll come to find you after I’ve settled down Tifa!”
Ksenja glared at Evelyn, causing the Dark Elf to shiver.
What kind of terrifying gaze was that?
A weak human swordswoman actually made her feel a chill down her spine…
A woman in love was really scary.
After sending Ksenja off, Char finally relaxed a little.
He had never been worried about his own life, but he was worried about Ksenja.
He did not have to worry about anything after Ksenja left, and he could naturally do as he pleased.
“Let’s sign another contract, Miss Evelyn. You were right. I’m interested in you,” Char said with a smile.
