Chapter 389: Jung's team
"yes, he put you in my group. Interesting decision. When Atta and Kairas arrived at the place where the cloth was written, the elf who had been hiding in the shadows for some time came out of the darkness, and in the light of the setting sun, his hair and skin showed a strange color, only the bright red in his pupils was very clear.
Unlike usual, Jung at this time wore a sophisticated gown, shiny leather boots and metal buttons, all showing the value of the outfit. Not to mention the iconic high-necked cape, which is almost a manifestation of a vampire in folklore, and it seems that he has no intention of hiding his identity.
"But we haven't heard we're going to be partnered with an elf in costume, is our goal tonight to perform an opera on stage?" said Kailas unceremoniously sarcastically, he didn't care about the Barak blood, there were only a few objects in the world that wouldn't be his laughing stock for the black cat, and that didn't even include himself. Besides, he wasn't very satisfied with the mage's arrangement.
"Maybe it's time for us to act. You see, I'm a posing vampire, and you're a cat who only wears clothes and talks to people, and with this beautiful young lady, I'm sure that no matter what bad show you put on, it's going to be a big talk. I have to thank Mr. Cheese and his team for adding more colour to the city, and I'm sure the brightest of them is your eyes, dear lady. ”
Jung stroked his right hand to his chest and gave Atta a gentle salute, unconcerned about the cat goblin's criticism. Contrived, often an excuse for people who cannot understand the meaning behind etiquette, the elegant aristocracy will not change because of this.
Atta frowned slightly, she didn't like vampires, and on the way to the lion, a vampire attacked a merchant who was kind enough to give her a ride, so she didn't have a good impression of the race. Moreover, she did not enjoy Jung's respect and praise, which seemed to her to be too hypocritical to see anything that could be called sincere.
"I haven't done anything worthy of your salute, so please treat me like a normal person, okay?"
"Ahh Personally, I'm a big fan of human etiquette, and my race, I mean now, makes me pay attention to these things all the time. And you are a princess, how can you not let me treat me differently?Not to mention, the day of your accession to the throne is likely to be approaching, whether as the queen or princess of the goblins, you will be a far more noble existence than the kings of the world. To be able to meet and talk to you will be a great event in my life that is worth remembering and boasting about. Jung exaggerated, but there was no honor in his eyes, this guy may indeed be suitable for the stage, he is too good at acting.
Now that Atta and Kairas hate him even more, it's really hard to get a good impression of someone who will use this way to reveal the identity of the person they met for the first time. But in addition to disgust, they really have to care, the news they heard from Cheese's mouth before is not counted, just because this person can lightly say Ata's background is enough to show that he has a lot of power in the city.
No, the forces in the rush alone can't find out the state of the goblin realm, or rather, any power in the secular world, even the blood clan, shouldn't be aware of the political changes of the goblins. It's not a question of power anymore.
Perhaps sensing the effect of his words on the two of them, Jung's lips showed an incomprehensible smile. He knew the significance of Cheese's inclusion of the two men in his group, because in terms of the Grey-robed man, apart from the mage himself, the most threatening threat to Jung was Atta with Frakrag, and he believed that Cheese must have told them that he could take action against him if necessary.
It's good, it's very good. It only makes sense to work with people like that. The vampire turned and spread his arms, and the cloak behind him spread like the wings of a bat, "So, allow me to introduce the rest of our crews on this operation. After all, the stakes are high on this mission, and in addition to us, of course, some cannon fodder, I mean, facilitators. They are all my handpicked members and will not let you down. ”
"Whoosh!" Before he could finish speaking, a silver arrow passed through Jung's forehead, but the shot in the head quickly became illusory, and the vampire's real head had already been sideways to avoid the shot.
"I'm so impatient, my dear, you're never going to hit the target like this. Jung shook his head and leaned sideways to give up his view so that the two could see the archer. It was a woman who looked to be in her twenties, her blond hair tied into a ponytail and the right back of her head, dressed in a garment between hunting suit and armor, and holding a crossbow from which the silver arrow had apparently come from.
"Let me introduce you, this is Alice, the surname of a certain aristocratic who has been destroyed, and you see, when the kingdom of the knights is gone, the nobility loses its meaning. This is the case with poor Alice, who tried to reclaim the glory of her ancestors, but mistook the object of revenge, mistaking me, a good Samaritan, for an enemy. Other than that, though, she's a good girl, and might be able to talk to Miss Atta. ”
Like the narration in the play, Jung reaches out to the woman known as Alice without caring for himself. The latter spat at him and walked over to pick up the silver arrow. She stared at Atta for a few seconds as she passed by, but said nothing.
"Oh, in addition to her outcast, she's also a hunter with good marksmanship, the kind that hunts vampires. It's just that there aren't so many vampires in the city for her to hunt, so she's had to take on some other jobs to make ends meet, and thanks to that, she's pretty experienced with cultists, and that's why I brought her here. I don't want to take this chance to get rid of this annoying cute little bug. Jung looked at Alice's back and said in a soft and eerie tone. The latter's figure stagnated, but quickly regained his movements. After picking up the arrows, she stood beside Atta.
"Archers who provide support from a distance are important, but the people who can buy space for the archers to shoot are even more important. Next, please let me introduce the champion of the Rushing Underground Fighting Arena, the big star who has completed a ninety-eight consecutive victory but was torned off by his opponent in the ninety-ninth fight, Mr. Joe!"
The man who came out with the voice was emaciated and looked no better than Yuni, and his right arm had hideous stitch marks, but rough treatment failed to save the function of this arm, making it swing weakly when its owner walked, like an ugly tumor attached to his body.
Joe's expression was as weak as his body, full of powerlessness, weakness, and depression, and such a man really did not look like he could fight, let alone be at the vanguard of the team.
But Atta and Kailas don't think so, in their eyes, Alice's emotions are like a flowing fire, full of energy and passion, and Joe, his emotions are like barrels, the kind of barrels filled with gunpowder, this person is extremely dangerous. The Fight Ring Champion waved his left hand at the two of them, and then stood in place looking like he was about to collapse.
"Alright, after introducing these two, it's time to bring in our third member, he is athletic, agile, and a well-known snitch, and if we need to pick locks and sloping chickens and dogs, then he will definitely come in handy. Am I right? I want you to stand up and meet our fellows, hey?"
"If you're looking for that elf, he's drunk too much and he's probably snoring in that pile right now. Alice said in a cold voice, gesturing to a pile of wooden boxes around the corner. Sure enough, the few people with better hearing could hear even breathing.
Jung covered his face with his hands, "I knew I shouldn't have let him carry the flask." ”
