Under the guidance of the priest, Fang Zheng walked through the dark passage and came to the hall of the dark elves, where he met the matron of the first family, who was also the most supreme ruler of this city - Madam Korresa.

This dark elf was already very old. Of course, elves have a long lifespan. Generally speaking, elves who live to be 100 to 180 years old still look like minors. However, wrinkles can be seen on the face of this dark elf, and his silver-white hair has also turned yellow... This is enough to show that this dark elf is much older than others, at least over 600 years old.

Fang Zheng raised his head, put his hands behind his back, squinted his eyes and looked at Madam Korresa in front of him, while Korresa sat on a silver spider-shaped chair, lowered her head slightly, and looked at him. Seeing this scene, the faces of the priests around him changed slightly, and then one of the priests winked at the guards next to him, and then a dark elf guard roared and drew his long sword.

"How dare you! Who allowed you to look into the eyes of Madam Korressa?"

Before he finished speaking, the dark elf guard swung the rapier in his hand, piercing Fang Zheng in front of him with a sharp sword energy. His attack was as fast as a rabbit, and as agile as lightning. If Fang Zheng did not react, he would at least be crippled under this attack.

However, this means nothing to Fang Zheng.

In his eyes, everything seemed to be slowing down, as if someone was slowing down the entire scene. Fang Zheng could even clearly see the white hair of the dark elf guard floating in the air. He held the long sword in his right hand and turned it slightly in half a circle to exert more force. As he moved, the dark blade began to flash with dazzling lightning.

The dark elf guard leaped up, and the long sword in his hand stabbed towards Fang Zheng's chest with lightning.

Then...it stopped in the air.

"Why……"

Looking at the poster-like scene in front of him, Fang Zheng sighed helplessly.

Why didn't I awaken to the God of Time and Space at that time? Judging from this scene, I am also qualified enough to compete for the position of the God of Time and Space...

While sighing in frustration, Fang Zheng stretched out the fingers of his right hand and flicked lightly on the tip of the sword.

At this moment, time starts flowing again.

"boom!!"

No one noticed what happened. Everyone saw that the dark elf guard was attacking the other party, and then the next moment he had just jumped up, and he flew backwards as if he was slapped by something, and hit the wall not far away. The sword in his hand broke into pieces, and then the bones in the body of the dark elf guard made the same crisp breaking sound, accompanied by a wailing and screaming, and the next moment the dark elf guard collapsed to the ground limply, without a sound.

“Crash!!”

At this moment, all the other dark elves took out their weapons and pointed them at Fang Zheng. According to the rules of the dark elves, daring to do such a thing in front of the mistress was already considered a declaration of war!

However, just as the dark elves were about to rush forward to subdue this human, they saw Madam Kressa slowly raise her hand, signaling them not to act. Seeing Madam Kressa's gesture, the dark elves were a little confused, but still put down their weapons obediently.

"Okay, what do you want from me?"

Fang Zheng had no intention of saying anything nice to an old woman who was about to die. Although respecting the elderly and loving the young was indeed a traditional virtue, it depended on who the person was.

"How funny, male."

In response to Fang Zheng's question, Mistress Coresa chuckled.

"After hearing about your existence from my daughter, I originally planned to make you my valet."

Haha, an old woman who looks to be in her 50s or 60s is actually looking for a lover.

If you weren't so old and dark, maybe I would consider it reluctantly.

"But your performance just now was beyond my expectations."

Madam Coresa did not give Fang Zheng a chance to speak. Like all elderly people, she lowered her eyes and continued talking to herself.

"You killed the martial arts master of the First Family. According to the rules, I should have sentenced you to death. But now, I have changed my mind... After all, you have demonstrated your strength, so I am willing to pay a price for it. From today on, I want you to become the martial arts master of our First Family. Are you willing to accept it?"

"Mother?!"

Hearing what Madam Kressa said, the daughters standing next to her were shocked, and the other dark elves could not hide their surprise. The martial arts chief was the highest position that a male in the dark elf family could obtain, just like the chief of the guards in the palace. This position had almost always been held by dark elves, and now, Madam Kressa was actually going to give this position to an outsider!

And he's a human being!

"What good will this do me?"

Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows, not at all interested in Mistress Coresa's offer.

"I'm just an adventurer who happened to pass by this city. I don't plan to stay here for long, and I have no interest in dark elves."

“Bold!”

"presumptuous!"

"How dare you speak to Madam Coresa like that!!"

After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the surrounding dark elves roared again. However, this time, with the experience of the martial arts master as a lesson, they did not dare to attack Fang Zheng again - otherwise, who knows if they would become the second unlucky person.

"Then I'll try another approach."

Madam Coresa still did not react at all. She looked at Fang Zheng with a smile, like a good-tempered old woman.

"Since you are adventurers, I can hire you."

Hearing this, Fang Zheng thought for a moment and then nodded.

"Of course."

"very good."

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Mistress Coresa once again smiled with satisfaction.

"I want to hire you to do something for me... In fact, we recently found out that several families are planning to attack us."

Having said that, Madam Coresa's expression became a little colder.

"Their actions will not succeed if they overestimate their capabilities, but we are not willing to take risks, so I hope you can help us. In fact... the First Family will have an action soon. You don't need to know the details. You just need to know that we hired you because we hope you can ensure that this action will not be disturbed or threatened by any external factors."

After hearing what Madam Coresa said, Fang Zheng thought for a moment again and then asked a question.

"So, what do I get?"

"Money, wealth, equipment, everything you want we can provide you. And you will also get the family emblem of the First Family, which will allow you to move freely in this city, and no dark elves will dare to cause trouble for you. If they do so, they will be the enemy of the First Family!"

"I demand to be paid first."

Fang Zheng unceremoniously raised his request again, which was enough to make the dark elves present want to pounce on him and strangle him to death, but Madam Korissa nodded.

"no problem."

"Okay, deal then."

The two sides exchanged a few brief words again, and then Fang Zheng turned and left. After he walked out of the hall, a tall dark elf priest came out and bowed respectfully to Coresa.

"My Lady, we don't need to do this at all. This is really..."

"I have my own arrangements."

However, before she could finish, Korissa interrupted her coldly. At this moment, a strange and cold light flashed in the eyes of this old dark elf.

"Remember the oracle of the goddess. This is the most important thing. Besides... he is just a human. He doesn't understand at all..."

At this point, the corners of Koresa's mouth curled up slightly.

"From the moment he got in here, he couldn't get out."
