“By the way, there are also demons in this plane, maybe they’re from your clan,” An Ge said to Lu Yan.
Lu Yan was speechless. "I've heard that the demons here look strange and grotesque. How could they be like me?" If he were from the same clan, even with An Ge by his side, he wouldn't be able to enter the Elf Forest in his current state.
Before An Ge could speak, Chang Jin interjected, "Perhaps you really are from the same clan. There are also Abyss Demons in my plane. When I first met you, I felt that your aura was somewhat familiar, similar to those guys."
However, the Abyss Demons are utterly wicked and inhuman. Although you are not a good person, you still possess some humanity.
"I feel like you're insulting me," Lu Yan muttered. "Whether we're from the same clan or not, we'll have to meet to make a decision."
To avoid being misunderstood, at everyone's request, Lu Yan decided not to use his spiritual power unless absolutely necessary.
"We were discussing how to sabotage the experiment, so why do I always end up getting hurt?"
Looking at Lu Yansheng's utterly dejected expression, An Ge chuckled. She realized that with Lu Yansheng around, even tense situations would always have a surprising turn of events.
It has to be said that everyone's mood has improved a lot since Lu Yan's incident. It seems happiness really is built on the suffering of others.
After discussing it with Nate, Ango and the other two decided to head to the royal capital. Because there was a widespread crackdown on half-bloods and elves outside, Vorn and Beaton originally wanted to go as well, but Ango refused.
"It would be more convenient for the three of us to move around, but we are not familiar with the capital and the laboratory, so we need you to give us more specific information."
Nat said to Ange and the other person with emotion, "This is a matter for our continent. You could have ignored it, but now you have the life and death of the continent on your shoulders. No matter what the outcome, I thank you for your help on behalf of the West Asian continent."
After saying this, Nat bowed deeply to Ange and the other person.
An Ge and Hu Jiu exchanged a glance and said solemnly, "We will have to face Fang Yuanyuan sooner or later, so it's not that we are completely without selfish motives. You don't need to do this."
Fang Yuanyuan's rampant hunting of Chosen Ones makes her a dangerous entity in itself. Even without Hogg's ordeal, it was only a matter of time before An Ge and Fang Yuanyuan clashed. Moreover, Meng Xia nearly lost her life because of Fang Yuanyuan; both for personal and professional reasons, eliminating Fang Yuanyuan is imperative.
Even riding the fastest flying beast, it would take at least half a month to travel from the elven forest to the capital. Fortunately, there is a teleportation array in Wiki City that leads to the capital, which greatly reduces the travel time.
Wiki City is the city closest to the Central Forest, and many mercenary headquarters are located there. The three of them, dressed as mercenaries, did not attract any attention.
The teleportation array is located near the city lord's mansion and is activated every three days. At that time, people who want to go elsewhere will gather there.
An Ge and his two companions arrived at an inopportune time; the teleportation array had just been activated, and they would have to wait two more days.
"Welcome to our humble establishment, three young mercenaries." Inside the inn, the waiter greeted the two men warmly.
An Ge cleared her throat. "What's going on with WikiCity this year? Why is it so lively?"
"Haven't you three heard? A sacred artifact has appeared in the Central Forest, and there's even an auction for it in the town of Palin below. With that, our Wiki City is going to be quite lively," the waiter said casually.
An Ge feigned sudden realization, "I see. I didn't expect so many things to happen here while we were completing our mission. I did hear there was an auction of divine artifacts in Palin Town, but what about the sacred artifacts in the Central Forest?"
An Ge's reaction made Xiao Er feel smug. These mercenaries were always fighting and killing, so their information was naturally not as good as theirs as the waiters.
"Hey, to be honest, the treasures in the Central Forest are not just limited to sacred artifacts. I heard that the person above is planning to drive away mercenaries and people who are going to train in the Central Forest."
Tell me, if it were just a sacred artifact, would she have gone to such lengths?
Ange exclaimed in surprise, "How could she possibly expel people from the Central Forest? The Central Forest doesn't belong to any particular faction. By doing this, she's essentially cutting off their livelihood!"
"You are still too young. That person doesn't care what others think. Even if he cuts off your source of income, what can you do about it?"
"That's outrageous! I'm going to the capital the day after tomorrow. I want to see what she's up to!" An Ge said angrily, looking every bit the hot-blooded youth.
"No wonder you all exude an air of nobility; you're VIPs from the capital who have come for training. You'd better hurry back to the capital, as I heard that person has decided to temporarily shut down the teleportation array to the capital."
"Going to the capital the day after tomorrow is definitely out of the question; you'll have to go tomorrow. As long as you're generous, the soldiers guarding the teleportation array won't give you any trouble," the waiter said mysteriously.
These nobles are truly ungrateful. Why not enjoy the life of a proper noble young master instead of becoming mercenaries? They must be captivated by the legendary stories made up by those mercenaries.
Sigh, these young people really think that adventure is such a great thing.
An Ge looked at Xiao Er with emotion, "This news is so important to us. Without you, we might not have been able to go home. Take these gold coins and buy some wine."
The waiter didn't refuse; the information he provided was absolutely valuable. You see, not everyone knows that the teleportation array to the capital will close the day after tomorrow.
After the waiter left, An Ge sighed, "That was close, we almost didn't make it to the capital in time."
Hu Jiu watched with a smile as An Ge and Xiao Er went back and forth. His little girl had unknowingly become capable of handling things on her own.
"I thought you were going to the tavern to gather information."
"Don't underestimate these waiters; they have just as much inside information as the tavern staff." An Ge looked at him with an air of "you don't understand," proudly tilting her head back.
"Yes, yes, yes, my store manager is the most amazing." Hu Jiu looked at An Ge with admiration.
"That's right!"
"Hey, you should think before you speak. There's a third person here. Can you please consider my feelings?" Liu Tingxue looked up at the sky speechlessly.
"Uh, sorry, I almost forgot." An Ge's tone showed no remorse whatsoever.
Liu Tingxue... She knew that coming out with these two, she wasn't even a little sun, she was just an invisible person.
The three were joking around when they heard a commotion outside.
"Let me go! I'm not an elf, what right do you have to capture me?"
"By order of Lord Fang, mixed-race individuals are no longer permitted to appear. You lowly mixed-race individuals are polluting the air you breathe." The man dressed as a member of the National Protection Army looked at this person as if he were a fly, his face filled with contempt.
The onlookers, who were initially indignant, became even more complicated upon hearing that the person arrested was of mixed race.
They also looked down on mixed-race people, and under normal circumstances, they would certainly not treat them kindly. But they never thought of expelling or killing mixed-race people.
Now that these mixed-race individuals have been apprehended by the authorities, the outcome is predictable.
