Black Rabbit squeezed out a flattering smile and nodded excitedly at Philip. “Don’t worry. I’ll lie to anyone but you. I’ve decided to see you as my master and follow you from now on.” Rabbit was disgusted by Black Rabbit’s flattering look. “We’ll arrive soon. Although that woman is a bit scary, she’s nothing compared to you.” Meanwhile, the stone woman arrived at the elves’ location. Since the forest belonged to them, and coupled with the natural characteristics of a stone, she was very fast and arrived at the elves' territory before Philip and the others. The stone woman knelt at the door and stared ahead in a panic. “Are the elves around? Please come out. I need to speak to you,” the stone woman shouted at the door anxiously. An elf walked out unhappily with a weapon in hand. “Why are you making a fuss here? Do you want to die?” The elves were very arrogant and would never allow such an ugly thing to make a fuss at their door. It was not only impolite but also affect
Later, the humans attacked the stone monsters, leaving the stone woman the only remaining survivor. Then, the elves found her. In the end, she was enslaved and became the gatekeeper of the elves. “Don’t blame me for your bad luck if you refuse to believe me. The humans are not to be trifled with. I’m sure you guys are no match for them,” the stone woman said vehemently. She came here with good intentions to report her findings. She wanted to claim the credit, but the other party disregarded her. The stone woman fought Philip earlier and knew exactly how strong he was. Although she was weaker than the elves, she knew that Philip could crush them easily and they would not be able to do anything about it. The elf warrior who received the message did not report the incident but returned to his station happily. He had been flirting with his female companion before they were interrupted. He had finally found a suitable female elf after so many years of being single, so he had no
Rabbit hopped around the grandmaster and felt that the latter was not lying. Rabbit had weathered many storms with Philip. He knew that according to human legends, the elves should be noble creatures. They were always arrogant and avoided contact with other creatures. “Anyway, since we’re here, let’s take a look inside. Who knows if any surprises are waiting for us?” Rabbit comforted Philip, and Black Rabbit was startled by his words. “You seem disappointed by this discovery. It doesn’t make sense to me. Are you really not aware of this situation?” Amid Black Rabbit's confusion, everyone entered the territory to watch the fun. Since the guard was enjoying his wonderful life, he did not pay attention to the invaders. He was supposed to be on duty with another guard today, but he swapped the other guard out because he wanted to be on a date with this female elf. The two were having a great romantic time in the room. Philip and his people entered the territory of the elves w
The female elf put on her clothes in a panic and ran out in fear. The appearance of humans in the territory was a very serious matter. They had to report this incident at once. Philip did not stop the other party. He could tell at a glance that these two were very weak, almost at the bottom of the rung. There was no need to waste any time on them. It would be better to wait for an elf in charge to speak to them. “You've seriously neglected your duties. I’m afraid that I’ll have to report this,” Lyle said on purpose, smirking at the guard. It was ridiculous for a guard to neglect his duties to this extent when he was protecting the safety of all the elves, and Lyle hated such people the most. After leaving the room, the female elf ran to the elf queen in a panic. It was very serious to find outsiders in the elves' territory, not to mention that they were the legendary humans, a bunch of notorious evildoers. No one could imagine what chaos they would bring next. At this mom
“I’m surprised to find the long-lost humans in my territory. I've heard a lot about you.” The elf queen walked up to Philip elegantly. Hearing this voice, Philip looked back at the so-called elf queen, who sounded quite good. “What the heck?! She's so ugly.” Everyone could not help but curse after seeing her for the first time and had to cover their mouths, including Katie. Everyone clearly had the same opinion about this so-called elf queen, whose appearance was simply indescribable. “Is it true that only the ugliest elf has the right to become the boss? I thought the guard was ugly enough, but you bring ugliness to another level. How interesting.” Aslan was as outspoken as ever, and everyone burst out laughing at his crude remarks. Philip smiled at his sharp tongue. “You must be the queen of the elves.” Philip shook his head helplessly at the sight of the other party's goblin-like figure and shriveled wings. Although he had a smile on his face, the other party thought
“Take a look inside the cave if you’re up for it. I can consider giving you what you want if you leave the cave alive.” Philip nodded with satisfaction at the elf queen's cooperation. Although he knew that this was the other party’s trick to send them to their deaths, she clearly underestimated their strength. Once he was given the chance, it would be no different than delivering the treasure to his doorstep. “I look forward to this challenge. If possible, I hope all of us can enter.” Philip was excited. In his opinion, this was a great opportunity. The elf queen smirked smugly at Philip’s eagerness to die. This was exactly the effect she wanted. “No problem. All of you may enter. You can name your request if you can return alive, and I won’t turn you down.” The elf queen felt that Philip had totally fallen for her trick. Once they entered the cave, they would die for sure. The other elves looked at Philip warily. All hope was lost. They could only rely on their own strengt
“Also, I smell a stench on them. How did they end up with that smell of decay and fish?” Katie joined in the complaints. As a woman who grew up in a fishing village, Katie knew that anyone would somewhat smell a little fishy if they had been in close contact with the sea and sea products for a long time, but elves were legendary nobles and had nothing to do with fish. She could not figure out why they smelled like that. Philip simply moved forward without a word. He had no answer to those questions either. The cave was dark and felt a little weird. Although he could sense his surroundings, the cave was filled with a strange and off-putting vibe. “I’m sure that the elf queen is up to no good, trying to trick us into entering this place. She’s probably going to deal with us. I have a feeling that something terrible lies ahead!” Aslan cursed, shivering as he thought of the other party’s ugly appearance. No one disagreed with his words. After all, they had seen for themselves h
A powerful practitioner could see things without solely relying on vision. After surveying around, Philip felt that it was a waste of time and decided to take everyone out. No matter what, he had to get hold of what he wanted before the other party tried to wiggle out of it. They were about to return the same way they came when they saw that the way had been blocked by something unknown. Aslan rushed forward and tried to force it open but to no avail. It had to be something special that they could not overlook. “They used something to trap us here. Those people are quite interesting. Do they think they can keep us here? What a joke!” Lyle cursed angrily. Those people were too much to play such underhanded tricks on them. Moreover, Philip and the others did not intimidate them or try to take their treasures by force. They could have negotiated a deal over it. However, the other party’s attitude seemed a little abnormal as they had no intention of cooperating. “Buddies, l
The cynocephaly tried to beg Philip but to no avail, so he had to give up in the end. Brett returned to the cellar at this time. He wanted to pretend to have a good relationship with Philip and take something from him so that he could control the minotaur. Brett felt a gust of wind blowing over him when he arrived at the cellar. He opened the cellar door and looked around in confusion but did not see anything. “That’s strange. What’s that feeling just now?” Brett scratched his head in puzzlement. Although he could not figure it out, he was not bothered. The cellar was not well-ventilated, so it was normal for there to be a gust of wind when the door was opened. He had nothing to worry about. The pitiful prisoners ran out in a panic in their invisible mode. They were worried that they would be discovered, but they quickly realized that no one could see them. Philip's pills were too amazing for words. Everyone etched Philip’s name in their hearts and saw him as their hero
The cynocephaly did not notice any strange reaction on Philip’s face. After much deliberation, he decided to go for it. He had to find a way to leave this hellhole with Philip at all costs! “Hey, I can see you have extraordinary talents. You must be a powerful person. In that case, why don’t you take us away?” the cynocephaly said with a smile, and everyone around him glanced at him in disdain. They knew how disgusting the cynocephaly was. It was obvious that he wanted to take this opportunity to please Philip. Everyone hated the cynocephaly because he always caused trouble. Since everyone was a pitiful prisoner, no one could be bothered about him, but they were angry at his actions now. “Cynocephaly, you’re so shameless. I think you should be turned into a human puppet!” “I’ve never seen such a shameless guy like you in my life!” Everyone reprimanded the cynocephaly, feeling disgusted by him from the bottom of their hearts. “Buddy, don’t listen to them. I never said anyt
“Don’t worry, everything will be fine now that I’m here! With my help, you can surely survive in this place!” Brett kept promising the minotaur excitedly, wishing he could take the minotaur under his wing immediately. “Hold on, let me inform my family head about this!” Brett planned to attack the minotaur at first, but hearing that he had his family with him, Brett wanted everyone instead. “Okay, I’ll wait.” The minotaur sat aside and waited for Brett. The plan was going well so far. The minotaur suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment. He never thought that he would trick someone one day. In the past, they never interacted with others because they could not outwit them. Meanwhile, Brett headed to his father’s room to inform him about this matter in detail. He knew that this matter would definitely cause a sensation. The minotaurs were a precious commodity to them. “Now that I have the minotaur under control, we just need to ask him to summon his people here, and everything
It was a win-win situation for Brett. Everyone else was exasperated by the Spade family’s plan. Everyone thought that being turned into a puppet was terrible enough, but the Spade family had plans to put them to work on top of that. “Wow, this herb is really good, but you just entered the secular world, so you must be uncomfortable. I have some good things for you. Why don’t we take a look in private?” Brett was very hospitable and acted like a great guy. Everyone looked at him thoughtfully. Brett was obviously up to something. “I don’t mind visiting, but you need to make ample arrangements. Philip has promised to prepare a lot of herbs for us. Although he hasn't fulfilled his promise yet, I believe he can do it,” the minotaur said meaningfully. Brett smiled excitedly at the minotaur’s dumb reaction. “No problem, I’ll make arrangements right away!” Aslan did not get involved. He knew that he had to give them some time. “Will you come with me?” Brett invited the minotaur e
Brett knocked on the door, which a minotaur opened. Brett was excited at the sight of the minotaur. Sure enough, Maven was telling the truth. There really was a minotaur! “Wonderful!” Brett blurted. The minotaur was puzzled. Why would anyone say that at first sight? Was this person a lunatic? “What are you doing? Are you looking for Philip?” This minotaur was none other than the leader. He knew about the plan and fully supported it. He was angry to find out that Brett was a vain and scheming guy. “I'm here to look for Philip. It’s okay if he's not around. Let me go in and wait for him. I have an appointment with him. He should be back soon.” Brett quickly stepped in through the door as if he would not take no for an answer. The minotaur did not stop Brett. It was part of the plan anyway. “Hehe, just hang around and wait until Philip returns then.” With that, the minotaur turned around and left. He knew that Brett was here for him. “Don't leave. It’s my first time seeing
Maven decided to tell Brett about the minotaurs. “Brett?” Maven went looking for Brett as if she had something important to say. Hearing that, Brett walked over, wondering what Maven had to say. “I almost forgot something important. I saw a minotaur when I took Philip away earlier. “It seems that the minotaur brought his family over and planned to join Philip. What do you think we should do?” Brett was excited by Maven’s news. He never dreamed that he would hear about minotaurs. As someone who grew up among the major families, he knew what minotaurs meant. “If they're really minotaurs, that'd be great!” Brett exclaimed in delight. He invited Maven into his room to discuss it. If she was telling the truth, he had to get hold of the minotaurs. “Are you sure you’re not mistaken? The minotaurs have always been cooped up in their small territory and unwilling to venture out. What made them change their minds?” Maven shrugged in response. “I didn’t have time to ask about it
Brett patted his chest in assurance and displayed his concern for Maven. After taking care of things, Maven turned and left without another word as if she had lost interest in this matter. Brett was surprised to see Maven leaving so decisively. He was glad at her compliance and the fact that she showed no interest in what they were going to do. “Since you have no interest in competing for the position of the head of the family, I don’t have to keep an eye on you anymore, and we can still work together,” Brett muttered under his breath. It would be perfect if he could develop Maven into one of his own. His path to dominating the world would become smoother with such a powerful person helping him. After Maven left, she returned to her room without any intention of interfering. It was a step in one of their plans to fool the other party into thinking that she had nothing to ask for so that they would drop their guard. In the meantime, Philip stood on the spot in a trance. Br
Hercules knew that minotaurs were very strong and loyal. More importantly, they would not enter the secular world for no reason. They were a mysterious existence, indeed. It would be great to turn them into human puppets. Hercules had developed his own thoughts. He was no longer the mindless puppet he used to be. However, since human puppets could only remain loyal, he could not do anything except serve the Spade family wholeheartedly. Philip noticed Hercules’ reaction. He had been paying attention to him since he knew that Hercules was a human puppet. Similarly, he had to put on an act with Maven if he wanted to get rid of the Spade family. “You've made the right choice.” Philip smiled and asked Aslan to take care of them while he and Maven went to the Spade family. Brett was getting impatient by now. He knew that Maven was very good at deceiving others, so it was strange that she could not get it done quickly. He never dreamed that Maven had reached an agreement with
The minotaur quickly took his leave and returned home. Philip shook his head helplessly at his hasty departure. “That minotaur really has a one-track mind, but he’s quite simple. Maybe the minotaurs will be good teammates.” Philip wanted to take these good people under his wing. Black Rabbit ate the remaining spiritual herbs happily. Philip had never given him such good things to eat before. He always lived on pills. He had fallen in love with these spiritual herbs. His strength would definitely improve by leaps and bounds if he could live on them. Rabbit knew where the herbs came from, so he looked at Black Rabbit in disdain. “You’re such a disgrace.” He had seen these herbs in the Verge Tower space but had never taken any notice of them. Although spiritual herbs were valuable, Philip’s pills were better. He could get more premium herbs for a few pills. Black Rabbit ignored him. He preferred the herbs.… The minotaur returned home. He wanted to share the herbs with hi
