Starting With 3 S-Class Talents

After listening to the story, Monica wanted to pester Vincent to tell her two more stories.

Vincent did not want to say anything more. He stressed that it was time to sleep.

Monica had no choice but to agree to Vincent’s request.

At this time, there were two quilts on Vincent’s bed. Monica did not want to sleep on the ground. Instead, she would rather sleep in the same bed as Vincent.

Vincent did not think too much about it. Although Monica received training on the fifth floor of Hell’s Rose since she was young, her life was extremely stable and comfortable. She did not have experience and knowledge about life. Her expectation of life was nothing more than freedom and comfort. If she lost her freedom or did not have a comfortable life, she might as well die.

Fortunately, Vincent was not a lecherous person. Although he was lying with Monica, the two of them did not disturb each other and just went to sleep.

At noon the next day, Vincent put on some clothes with Monica’s help. The clothes made it easy for him to fight. Finally, he put on a loose robe. The loose robe looked like something he would wear after sustaining serious injuries.

Vincent looked at his current appearance in front of the mirror carefully. He raised his hand, smiled at Monica, and said, “Hold me!”

Monica rolled her eyes at Vincent subconsciously. She walked forward helplessly and held Vincent’s arm.

Vincent said softly, “In front of outsiders, you must always remember that I am a patient who has just recovered from a serious injury! I am as weak as I want to be!”

Monica said, “Yes, yes, yes, I know! You are so weak now that you are only one step away from wielding a knife and slashing people!”

Vincent picked up his Return Journey of the Dead that had been transformed into a magic staff. He used it to tap Monica’s butt. He pretended to be serious and said, “Shut up! Be careful or I will send you back to Hell’s Rose!”

Monica pouted and stopped talking. Her hands were still holding onto Vincent’s arms. She was helping him to walk out of the courtyard.

At that moment, Dave had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time. When he saw Vincent walking out shakily, he could not help but laugh.

“If one did not know the inside story, they would really think that you are injured! But those who know the inside story will be even more impressed by Monica’s endurance!”

Vincent only smiled at Dave’s teasing and did not explain anything.

Monica, on the other hand, nodded gratefully at Dave. After all, it was rare to have someone who could understand her current mood.

Vincent immediately asked, “What are your plans for today? Let me say this first. I’m a patient, I can’t be too tired!”

Dave shook his head and said, “Mmm, you won’t be too tired! Today, we’ll go to Hell’s Rose. After that, we will bring your men to patrol the city. I’ve already prepared transportation for you. Today, you don’t need to move, you just need to ride on the mount and follow me!”

Vincent nodded and said cheerfully, “The arrangements are quite thoughtful, but how am I suppose to enjoy myself on the fifth floor of Hell’s Rose after being injured like this? Isn’t that a little too lecherous?”

Dave smiled and said, “It’s alright. There are not only service-type mages like Monica on the fifth floor, but there are also girls who are good at healing. Many of the powerful individuals in the city like to go to the fifth floor to heal themselves after being injured. No one will suspect this!”

Vincent’s expression changed greatly when he heard that. He turned his head to look at Monica with a nervous expression.

Monica naturally knew that any magic spells would be extremely terrifying for Vincent. The type of healing they did would injure Vincent.

“What happened to you guys?”

Dave could not help but ask curiously when he saw the strange expressions on Vincent and Monica’s faces.

Vincent coughed dryly and said with a smile, “I’m not really injured anyway. After we reach the fifth floor, I’ll hide my identity and take a stroll on another floor. At the same time, I’ll bring Monica along to broaden my horizons. I won’t disturb your reunion with Catherine!”

Dave gladly accepted Vincent’s suggestion and said, “That’s fine too! However, you must hide well. You must not be discovered by others. Although my father is a City Lord, there are many spies from various forces in the City Lord’s mansion. You’re a newly promoted City Patrol Officer. You must have attracted the attention of many forces. If they discover that you’re still alive and kicking, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble!”

Vincent nodded and said, “Rest assured, Your Highness, I know what I’m doing!”

Dave sighed lightly and asked his servants to prepare two monsters and bring them into the courtyard.

One of the monsters was snow-white in color. It was relatively short, but its appearance was still adequate. In addition to its snow-white color, it could be considered a ride that showed status.

The other monster looked weird. It was not too ugly, but it definitely did not look like it could eat. However, the monster’s back was broad and flat. There was a large and comfortable seat fixed on it. It was enough to accommodate three individuals to sit. It was obviously prepared for Vincent and Monica.

Vincent turned to look at Dave and asked unhappily, “This is Your Highness’s preparation? Why is your mount snow-white and handsome, but I have to sit on such an ugly thing?”

Dave smiled and said, “This is because you are a patient! But don’t underestimate this monster. Although it looks ugly, it has the strength of a level 20 creature. Every time it travels, it must bring along a specialized trainer. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome when this monster gets angry!”

Vincent smiled and asked back, “Oh, is that so?”

With Monica’s help, Vincent walked in front of the ugly monster and raised his hand to pat the monster’s head. He then said in a deep voice, “I heard that you have quite a temper. If you dare to throw me off your back today, I will skin you alive!”

The ugly monster seemed to understand Vincent’s words. Its limbs instantly went limp, and it laid on the ground. It used its huge head to rub against Vincent’s feet gently. It was as if it was trying to curry favor with Vincent.

When Dave and Monica saw the scene, they could not help but look at Vincent in shock. They could vaguely guess that Vincent had hidden his true strength. After all, he was strong enough to kill the mysterious Dark Elf. Nevertheless, no matter how powerful someone was, they would still not be able to communicate with a monster so smoothly. Vincent was able to tame the difficult and ferocious monster with just one sentence. It became as obedient as a puppy.

Vincent only smiled faintly at them and did not explain anything. He grabbed Monica’s wrist and brought her along to step on the monster’s head. They walked onto its back and sat on the chair comfortably.

Dave was too lazy to ask Vincent for the reason. He turned around and rode on his own monster. He then led Vincent out of the City Lord’s mansion.

Vincent sat on the monster’s back with a confident smile. He always had the ability to befriend monsters. Later, it evolved into the Godly King’s Posture where it allowed him to show off his power. It was enough to restrain monsters that did not have intelligence. Not to mention an honest mount, even if the monster was ordered to die, the monster would find a rock and hit itself to death.

Dave led Vincent through Devil Flame City. They went straight toward Hell’s Rose under everyone’s shocked gazes.

“I heard that not long ago, His Highness Dave recruited a guard and within a few days, the guard was promoted to the position of City Patrol Officer. Yesterday, he chased after the murderer who once tried to assassinate His Highness Dave outside the city. In the end, he was heavily injured and was carried back. I didn’t expect His Highness Dave to bring him to visit Hell’s Rose today!”

“I think it’s really enviable! In the whole of Devil Flame City, the only one who can ride a monster along His Highness is probably this Dark Elf!”

“He has a good life. The position of City Patrol Officer was personally given by the City Lord. He can be considered to have gained the appreciation of both father and son at the same time. In the future, I’m afraid no one in Devil Flame city will be able to obstruct his rise to the top!”

Discussions could be heard from the crowd on both sides of the street.

Dave and Vincent could hear it clearly, but they only smiled slightly and did not have any reaction.

This was because the relationship between Vincent and Dave was far better than that. The current Vincent was not only the confidant of His Highness Dave, but he was also more like Dave’s teacher. He was a teacher who taught him how to protect himself step by step. He also wanted Dave to become strong!

In the blink of an eye, the three of them passed through the bustling main street and arrived at the small courtyard leading to the entrance of Hell’s Rose.

As a result of the huge battle a few days ago, the originally small alley had been reduced to scorched earth. The lonely small courtyard was even more eye-catching.

After Dave jumped off the back of the monster, he took the initiative to walk to the back to help Vincent down. Such courtesy caused the surrounding onlookers to exclaim in admiration.

Following that, the three of them walked into Hell’s Rose and took the lift all the way to the fifth floor.

When Catherine heard that His Highness Dave and Vincent had arrived, she immediately rushed out to welcome them. When she saw Vincent limping, she said, “You’re already injured to this extent. Why didn’t you recuperate properly at home? Why did you come here instead? Quickly go to the lounge and lie down. I’ll find someone to treat your injuries!”

“Hey, don’t!”

After hearing Catherine’s arrangements, Vincent hurriedly stopped her. He then turned to look at Dave, his eyes pleading with him.

Dave could vaguely guess something and immediately said to Catherine, “It’s all good. Monica is taking care of him now. There’s no need to arrange other girls for him. Let’s go straight to your room!”

Catherine nodded and immediately led Dave, Vincent, and Monica to her room through the secret passage.

After all, there were many Dark Elves on the fifth floor. If they saw Dave freely entering and exiting Catherine’s room, it would definitely cause a huge uproar in Devil Flame City. At that time, all those who wanted to deal with Dave would probably attack Catherine!

Dave could not help but say, “Your arrangements are so thoughtful. It’s true! But this way, there are too many entrances to your room! Besides the main door, there is also an elevator platform that leads to a secret passage. Now that there is another secret door, I’m really worried that someone might accidentally walk into your room. What can I do?”

Catherine smiled and said, “Your Highness, please rest assured. I’ve been operating on the fifth floor for many years and have trained many trusted confidants. With them guarding in the dark, no one will be able to get close to my room without my consent!”

Dave nodded perfunctorily after hearing Catherine’s explanation. It was obvious that his worries had not been dispelled.

After everyone entered the room, Catherine hurriedly turned around and said, “Monica, quickly help Vincent to rest. He is injured, but…”

Before Catherine could even finish speaking, she saw that Monica was no longer supporting Vincent. Vincent casually took off his outer robe, revealing his tall and straight figure. At the same time, there was not the slightest sign of injury on his complexion.

Dave looked at the surprised Catherine and said with a smile, “He’s faking it, don’t worry about him!”

The shocked Catherine nodded repeatedly. She did not expect to be deceived given her sharp eyesight.

Vincent took out two black robes from his storage ring and handed one to Monica. They covered their faces and bodies tightly. He then said to Dave, “Your Highness, the two of us are going out for a walk, so we won’t disturb your reunion!”

After hearing what Vincent said, Dave only nodded slightly, while Catherine looked to the side shyly.

After saying goodbye to Dave, Vincent took Monica out of the room. With the secret passage, Vincent did not need to use the lift platform inside Hell’s Rose anymore. He immediately led Monica out. They mingled with the Dark Elves coming and going on the fifth floor. They soon stepped on the lift platform again.

Monica turned to ask Vincent curiously, “Where are we going next?”

Vincent said without hesitation, “The fourth floor!”

Before they set off, Vincent had already made up his mind to go to the slave market on the fourth floor to see those foreign slaves waiting to be sold. He wanted to find out if there were any races that he knew so that he could ask them for some information about the elves.

Once the lift stopped again, Vincent brought Monica to the entrance of the fourth floor. When they were about to leave the lift, Vincent’s gaze subconsciously swept across the gap between the lift and the floor. He discovered a faint light.

Vincent clearly remembered that under the lift was a bottomless abyss. There was only darkness that could devour everything. However, why was there light?

“Strange!”

Vincent sighed softly and temporarily suppressed his curiosity. He thought that he could directly go to the ninth floor to take a look later. He and Monica then put on a noble posture and walked into the slave-trading center.

In Dark Elves World, there were very few Dark Elves who bought and sold slaves. Only a very few nobles would choose to buy slaves, but that was only to fill the façade. Plus, there was no requirement in terms of quantity. Therefore, the business on the fourth floor looked very bleak.

The staff member guarding the fourth floor suddenly saw a guest walk in, and immediately welcomed him warmly. He smiled and said, “I’m Blue, the supervisor of the fourth floor. Are the two distinguished guests here to choose slaves?”

Vincent nodded and said in a hoarse voice, “My wife and I are planning to go hunting. We need two slaves with quivers on their backs, so that we can show our status!”

Blue was delighted when he heard that. It seemed that not only would they be able to open their business today, but they would also be able to sell two slaves at once. It seemed like he was going to make a huge profit!

Blue hurriedly said with a smile, “Two distinguished guests, please come in. You can choose all the slaves here today. As long as you are satisfied with them, we can discuss the price!”

Vincent waved his hand and said, “Let’s say it first. We only want the best slaves. As for the price, you don’t have to worry!”

“Good, good, good. Follow me!”

After hearing that, Blue immediately smiled and made an inviting gesture. He led Vincent and Monica to the cage where the slaves were kept.

After looking at the slaves in the cage, Vincent could not help but frown slightly.

This was because it was just as Dave had said. Most of the slaves in the cage were Dark Elves, and the few foreign slaves were human-shaped monsters from the Black Hole. They did not even have the inherent race and language ability. How could he get any information from them?

Vincent suddenly stopped and turned to look at Blue, who was hidden under the wide hat. He asked in a deep voice, “These slaves are too ordinary. Is there anything more unusual?”

Blue could not help but ask, “May I know what kind of slaves the distinguished guest wants? And what kind of slaves are considered unusual?”

Vincent lowered his head slightly and said in a low voice, “Not long ago, I heard that there was an alien invasion, so I’m very curious. Do you have any real alien slaves here? Definitely not those idiots who don’t even have intelligence!”

After hearing that, Blue’s bright eyes suddenly turned, and he said with a smile, “As long as it’s a slave that you want, we can provide it here, but the price might be a little more expensive. I wonder if Sir would really be interested?”

Vincent did not say anything more. He directly took out a bag from his storage ring, which contained thousands of crystal coins that he had snatched from Miller. He then threw it to Blue in front of him.

“This is your tip. As long as you can provide me with slaves that I am satisfied with, the price is definitely not a problem!” said Vincent.

Blue opened the bag and immediately felt delighted. It seemed that the customer in front of him was really a big shot in Devil Flame City, and he had gone to such great lengths to cover his face to buy slaves. He must have bragged in front of his friends that he had foreign slaves, so he was worried that others would see him secretly coming to Hell’s Rose to buy slaves.

After thinking about it, Blue immediately said, “In that case, I won’t waste your time. Please follow me. I’m going to introduce you to the best slaves!”

Vincent raised his hand gently and signaled Blue to lead the way.

Blue brought Vincent to the end of the corridor. He raised his hand and knocked on the wall a few times, and a secret door instantly appeared in front of him.

Blue turned his body and said with a smile, “It’s my treat!”

He gestured for Vincent to go in first.

Vincent held Monica’s hand and strode into the secret door. In an instant, he saw a huge iron cage.

Inside the iron cage were more than ten thick chains, tightly locking two pitch-black figures.

The moment he saw the two figures, Vincent’s pupils could not help but shrink.

He exclaimed in his heart, “Shadow Demon Race!”
