16. You have been enhanced, hurry up!
Perspective of the Supporting Character, Feng, Thirty-Eight.
In the Kingdom of Purus, where the vast majority of the population is made up of elves, being a “noble” is a very special identity. The origin of the nobility dates back to the time when elves actually lived in tree hollows, dressed entirely in leaves; it is a status inherited from the various factions of so-called “elders.” Simply put, it’s just a pretty name for an old title.
Currently, in the Kingdom of Purus, many kings have ascended through sheer strength, and the reigning monarch, Her Majesty Adelf, known as the Light of Hope for Purus, is no exception. As a result, the identity of nobility has been somewhat diluted . There are even rumors in Purus that the so-called noble elves are merely a group of useless individuals that Her Majesty Adelf uses to maintain her rule, just to amuse herself!
But Thirty-Eight does not think so! Hmph, utter nonsense, M An Gui!
Thirty-Eight knows very well that as the spokesperson elected by the elven nobility in the Kingdom of Purus, he is undoubtedly the most outstanding elven male in terms of status, identity, and abilities! This is proven enough by Her Majesty Adelf’s attitude towards him . After all, he is the only male elf who can see Her Majesty Adelf at any time! Doesn’t that say something!?
So, when he, believing himself to be handsome and charming, exuding the elegance and nobility of elven males, heard that the outsider wild man was actually Her Majesty Adelf’s “long-term boyfriend,” Thirty-Eight was so dumbfounded that he couldn’ t sleep the entire night.
Just, just based on him!? Just based on a guy who has even interacted with beastmen, with a shifty demeanor, dressed in a vulgar and coarse manner, without a single aspect that could compare to himself, a human?
Can this be tolerated!? Thirty-Eight suddenly began to regret, wondering why he hadn’t “gathered the courage to stab that little brat to death,” preventing Adelf from having any chance to change her mind. However, thinking about the glint of blades, Thirty-Eight’s hand trembled slightly, comforting himself, “It’s fine not to kill him; there are plenty of ways to get that human out of Adelf’s side,” then he straightened his face and looked at his lackeys.
“Hey, I told you to give some benefits to the intelligence department and check that human’s identity. Did you find anything!?”
“Lord Thirty-Eight, we did ask, but the intelligence department said their responses were consistent: he’s just an ordinary human, nothing special.”
“Hmph! How is that possible!”
Thirty-Eight was so angry that he almost smashed the thing in his hand against the mirror in front of him!
The elves in the intelligence department, like that timid secretary Mel, are a bunch of cowards. They should know that his identity is that of a noble in the Kingdom of Purus! Do they dare not tell the truth!? Not being able to get anything out of them means that the human really is nothing special.
But Thirty-Eight just couldn’t swallow this anger! No matter how he looked at Adelf, she should be fond of him, right!? What does it mean for someone to suddenly pop up and steal his meat!? If it comes down to it, he could find an opportunity, and then with one sword… cough cough, forget it, just call a subordinate, or hire someone to stab that little brat to death!
While sulking, one of his lackeys seemed to want to comfort him.
“Lord Thirty-Eight, I think you don’t need to compare yourself with that rather unrefined human.”
Hmm~ that’s true~ After all, with his status and excellence, as long as Adelf isn’t blind, she will always know who the best choice is.
“In my opinion, that human is just a jumping monkey…”
If you can talk, then say more—
Thirty-Eight found this very pleasing, but the next moment, the lackey who had just been flattering him suddenly went silent! How can you mess up a compliment like that, what use are you!?
Just as Thirty-Eight was slightly annoyed by the silence and looked up, he discovered…
A shadow had appeared in his room without him noticing! And the lackey who just called that human a monkey had already been stabbed through by the sword-shaped shadow in the figure’s hand! A stab, an assassin! Where are the guards!?
Looking again, the two guards at the door were as still as if they had eaten too much and fell asleep, almost as if they had truly turned into two iron cans!
In the next moment! The lackey who had just been stabbed through transformed into a cloud of black mist and vanished like a magic trick!
“Yikes!?”
Thirty-Eight trembled, nearly wetting his pants!
Because immediately after, the position where the shadow was looking was right here at him!
“You… who are you!?”
Difficult, could it be an assassin sent by that man!? No, wait! The intelligence department said that person is just an ordinary human, right!? And not to mention this shadow, how on earth did it appear here? Thirty-eight was so frightened that he couldn’t make sense of it!
This is still the Kingdom of Pluris, and the area I’m in is heavily monitored and guarded by nobles. How… did it get in!?
“You… are you a spy sent by someone!?”
Trying hard to suppress the panic in his heart and ask, but what Thirty-eight received in the next moment was the other’s chilling laughter.
“Really useless, no wonder Adaf doesn’t think highly of you~”
“!”
This kind of remark, under normal circumstances, would definitely make Thirty-eight jump up and give the other a piece of his mind, but at this moment, he didn’t dare to move at all! This feeling of being looked down upon, Thirty-eight had only seen in one person, and that was Adaf!
However, at this moment, it wasn’t that Thirty-eight wanted to be little Adaf, but…
“No need to call anyone, even if you do, it won’t help. You wouldn’t want to watch your subordinates disappear one after another, would you?”
The figure before him, shrouded in black mist, with a tone that disregarded everything, a calm demeanor, and an overwhelming pressure that could only come from strength, made Thirty-eight not even dare to breathe. Perhaps… it was even more terrifying than Adaf!
It was as if a born king, every word and action was filled with a magic that compelled others to obey unconditionally!
“Don’t be so nervous, I’m just here to tell you that contrary to what you learned from the Pluris Intelligence Bureau, Li De approached Adaf for the sake of the artifact. How pitiful, your king, hahahaha~”
This sentence finally made Thirty-eight snap back to reality!
Should I say, as expected!? That human is after the artifact that the elven nobles of the Kingdom of Pluris have preserved for generations!
Thinking of this, Thirty-eight didn’t care about the truth or falsehood and cautiously wanted to “communicate” with the shadow before him.
“Surely, surely! I will report this…”
“I advise you to save your breath. If reporting were useful, I wouldn’t be looking for trash like you. Right now, Adaf won’t listen.”
That word “trash” was actually directed at himself!? How could he stand it!?
However, when Thirty-eight looked up and saw that “black hole” that seemed capable of sucking away his very soul, he instantly cowered.
“My appearance is for you to act. Just find a chance, before he gets his hands on the artifact… kill him, and that would do, right?”
“!”
Thirty-eight trembled. Although he had thought of this option before, just the thought of taking action made him…
“Hey… hey, isn’t this a bit too much…?”
“Are you scared?”
The shadow immediately shut him up with the “truth” that Thirty-eight least wanted to hear.
“Truly useless, is there only this kind of rotten fish and stinky shrimp in the Kingdom of Pluris besides Adaf?”
The disdain in the words made Thirty-eight even more terrified of the identity of the shadow before him, but right now, he was also struggling to protect himself and had no time to care about so much.
“Then I’ll reluctantly help you a bit.”
“What… what!? How much do you want!?”
This kind of person wants to help him!? Although terrified, Thirty-eight was more excited at this moment! If he had the help of someone who looked exceptionally dangerous, wouldn’t he…
The idea was quite beautiful, but in the next moment, thirty-eight suddenly realized that for some reason, his gaze was fixed on the shadow in front of him and could not be moved away.
Accompanied by her dangerous words, he slowly lost consciousness.
“Hahaha~ How could it be? How could I possibly lay a hand on him~ The one who’s going to do that is you~”
“Mr. Supporting Role Thirty-eight, don’t you want to personally kill the man who stole your Aidefu?”
Uh…
No, I can’t…
No…
Personally kill…
In the dizzy haze, a firm thought inexplicitly emerged in thirty-eight’s mind…

It’s coming
