Chapter 481: Tried to Persuade Her by Force
Melissa looked at Sophia and asked coldly, “What opportunity are you talking about? You see the dawn of freedom, don’t you?”
Ever since Vincent helped Melissa to suppress the chaos in Serene Spring City, Sophia had been an important prisoner. She was constantly being watched and suppressed by Melissa herself.
What Melissa did not expect was that Sophia had been very honest during this period of time. Not only did she not show any signs of intention to escape, but she even took the initiative to fulfill her promises. Every once in a while, she would tell Melissa some secrets about the treasure location of Darren and Jessica.
However, Melissa still did not trust Sophia. After all, the woman had too many blood debts. Every single thing Darren and Jessica did back then could be reflected on Sophia. That was a crime that would not be forgotten!
The reason why Melissa still kept Sophia by her side and guarded her personally was that she wanted to ask about all of Jessica’s treasure locations. It was also because she pitied her as a woman.
Sophia was in the wrong but when she knelt in front of Vincent and stated that she had no other choice than to become Jessica and Darren’s accomplice, Melissa was convinced.
That was why Melissa did not want this woman, who made enemies with Serene Spring City, to be locked up in a prison in the city and be humiliated.
Therefore, the two women had a very complicated relationship. They spent a long time together at Serene Spring City.
Sophia had gotten accustomed to Melissa’s attitude. She said with a disapproving look, “Of course, this is an opportunity for you. It’s your chance to counterattack with Vincent behind you! From the perspective of the demons, the elves are slaves under their control. Once there was a rebellion, they had to suppress it with lightning-fast methods. Only then would the strength of the demons and their thirst for dominance over the elves be revealed! But this time, the demons in Imperial City would not do so. Perhaps they could no longer do so! This is because when Vincent returned from Imperial City, he was successfully promoted to an elf god. This meant that he had the upper hand in Imperial City. Even if he did not completely defeat the demons, he still caused a lot of trouble for the demons. Therefore, the demons in the Imperial City would not dare to go to Serene Spring City and Devil Flame City. They could only hide and secretly control the Dark Elves!”
Melissa grabbed her chin and carefully considered Sophia’s analysis. She nodded and said, “Continue.”
Sophia turned around and took two steps. The crisp sound of shackles clashing was obvious. She then raised her hands that were chained up and tidied up her messy hair. She said softly, “Actually, the demons have no way out of this! So what if they can mobilize all the Dark Elves? All the Dark Elves in the world combined are not as good as the twelve apostles. So, even if the army comes in the future, you can rely on Vincent to kill the enemies one by one. When the demons have no one to use, he will naturally lose!”
Melissa took a deep breath and shouted coldly, “Sophia! I know that master once promised you that he would give you a way out but I would like to remind you that I will be the one deciding how you are going to live. If you think that the City Lord’s residence is not suitable for you, I can immediately send you to prison!”
Sophia stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Melissa in fear. Her eyes were filled with tenderness as if she was begging.
Melissa noticed Sophia was trying to gain her sympathy by showing her weak side so she quickly turned her head away and said in a soft tone, “Master came here to save all elves, regardless if they are Dark Elves or ordinary elves. He will never massacre all the Dark Elves that were bewitched by the demons. No one will use your evil plan!”
After hearing that, Sophia sighed and muttered, “If you don’t want to cause too many deaths, you can actually use another method!”
“Another method?”
Melissa frowned slightly and looked at Sophia who was smiling at her. For a moment, she could not figure out what other evil plan this woman had in mind.
Sophia was straightforward with Melissa. She explained, “Capture the thief and the king! If you don’t want to kill the Dark Elves, you can assassinate the city lords or generals who are leading the army. At that time, won’t those leaderless Dark Elves be forced to surrender to Vincent, who is already a god?”
Melissa took a deep breath and remained quiet for a long time.
She was very tempted by Sophia’s idea because as an elf, she did not think that all Dark Elves are bad. Were all rulers the lackeys of the demons? If so, there should not be any harm killing traitors like them!
However, Melissa understood Vincent well. Vincent would never raise his weapon against the Elf Race unless he had no other choice!
At that moment, Serene Spring City was not under any pressure from the army. If they were to prepare for the assassination in advance, Vincent would probably not allow it!
Melissa contemplated for a moment. She then raised her head and said, “This method is somewhat useful but it can be used now. However, if you can use your viciousness against the demons, I might be able to give you a better life.”
After hearing that, Sophia smirked. She pretended to be weak and said softly, “I’m in your hands. Of course, I’ll do whatever you say. If you’re not happy with this method, I can help you think of other ways against the enemy!”
Sophia looked at Melissa in a flirtatious manner. Melissa could not help but squint her eyes. She did not know whether she should be angry or just ignore her.
At that moment, a voice was heard from outside the door.
“Your previous idea was very good. You don’t need to think of any other ideas!”
After hearing that, Melissa was startled and quickly stood up from her seat. She recognized that it was Vincent’s voice.
Melissa quickly went and opened the door. She noticed that Vincent and Monica were standing outside the door. Her eyes were filled with joy. She called out, “Master!”
Vincent nodded and turned around to make an introduction, “This is Monica, the High Priest of Devil Flame City. She came to spread our ideology to Serene Spring City!”
After hearing that, Melissa looked at Monica curiously. She said with great respect, “My name is Melissa, the current city lord of Serene Spring City. Thank you very much for coming. There are many elves in Serene Spring City who believe in their master but there are no proper guides for them to learn. If you help to build a temple at Serene Spring City, you will be the High Priest of Serene Spring City too!”
Monica nodded and said softly, “It is my duty to spread the ideology of my lord, Vincent. Rest assured, it will be done.”
After Melissa and Monica introduced each other, Vincent looked at Sophia who was left behind in the room. He said in a deep voice, “The suggestion you gave to Melissa is very useful. There are little hurdles to overcome but with a little modification, it can be a good strategy against the enemy!”
Sophia raised her head and looked at Vincent. She did not expect that, in the blink of an eye, Vincent had become a god of the Elf Race and she needed Vincent’s words to stay alive.
Sophia did not appear as charming as before. Her voice sounded cold and emotionless when she said, “I don’t have much knowledge. That was the best method I could come up with. If there are any shortcomings, I’ll have to trouble Vincent to modify it!”
Melissa, who was standing in front of Vincent, sighed in relief. She was very worried that Sophia would cross the line and try to seduce Vincent. If that happened, it would anger Vincent and also cause trouble for her!
Sophia’s cold response was a little unexpected but that was the best outcome that Melissa hoped for.
Vincent said indifferently, “No worries! There are some details that need to be revised and I will do it personally!”
After saying that, Vincent reached out a finger and gently tapped his ear. He then raised his head and said, “Kurt, I’ve reached Serene Spring City. Come and meet me immediately!”
After realizing that Vincent was ready to discuss the amendments to the proposed method, Melissa quickly said, “Master, let’s talk inside!”
Vincent nodded and walked into the study room with Monica.
Melissa respectfully gave the seat of honor to Vincent while she stood obediently and waited for Vincent’s order. She also gestured to Sophia to stand behind her. She did not want her to do anything out of the ordinary.
Not long after, Kurt, whose appearance had been restored, came to the study room and greeted Vincent.
Vincent nodded and said softly, “Kurt, you have to relay everything I said to Avril and Angelina in Devil Flame City!”
Kurt nodded and said, “Yes!” His eyes turned blank as he entered the state of operating the internal program.
Vincent then said, “From now on, Serene Spring City and Devil Flame City will send additional scouts to investigate the surroundings. Once they discover an unknown army has entered the area of the two cities, they will immediately report the news to me. Then, all those who have the authority to modify will move out together and gather all the city lords or generals leading the army into the space tunnel. I will then settle the rest!”
