Divine Kingship

Chapter 591 The Elf Assassin Discovers Something Is Wrong
The elven noblewoman came to the street.

She could hardly believe that she had been released like this.

She is an assassin attempting to kill a key figure in the local power structure.

She was also an elf, an elf who was hostile to humans.

Assassins, who are deeply hated by those in power, are always executed once they are caught.

It was common for them to be subjected to extreme torture before execution.

And it seems there was no punishment for her?
Or rather, the labor camp that Rand Nicholas, who conquered the Kingdom of Bologna, referred to was her punishment.

But was this so-called labor camp more terrifying than other forms of torture? She had certainly read "Holiday at the Holiday Village" while in Bolun, and now it seemed that the supposed ease of the labor camp was indeed a lie.

The elven noblewoman didn't really know much about Rand. After being captured and taken to the royal city of Bolun, she had been engaged in resistance activities and had some knowledge of the outside world, but it was limited to some superficial information.

All she knew was that Rand was a formidable military expert, a duke from a barbaric kingdom called Frostmoon Kingdom, who had now become king by conquering the Kingdom of Bolen.

She knew little else; all she knew was that Rand would certainly pose a threat to the Elf Forest.

Now Rand plans to torture her with labor camps, but he is underestimating her too much, actually expecting her to obediently go to the labor camp to be tortured.
No matter what, she is an elite professional. If she doesn't go to the labor camp, it won't be easy to stop her now that she's escaping or to catch her later.

She was indeed no match for Rand or that female elf traitor.

These two people clearly possess the strength of advanced professionals, or even more terrifying levels of power.

But just because they are strong doesn't mean that she, as an elite professional, is weak.

if only……

The elven noblewoman did not go to the labor camp that Rand had mentioned, even though she didn't actually know where the labor camp was.

That doesn't matter. As long as we escape from here, we can go back to the Elf Forest to spread the word and save more elves.

The Elf Forest must not perish at the hands of traitors.

The female elven noblewoman hid in the shadows and headed down the mountain towards this place called the Sanctuary.

Then there's the resort below.

The elven noblewoman was extremely cautious in all her actions and was constantly on the lookout for anyone following her.

Of course, she could think of one possibility: that Rand, while seemingly relaxed and letting her report to the labor camp on her own, was actually keeping an eye on her.

Just like some eccentric nobles who enjoy playing cat and mouse games.

Once the rats are exhausted, worn out, and covered in wounds, they will then condescendingly mock them as victors.

The elven noblewoman had encountered this situation before, but she turned the tables that time, delivering a fatal blow when the human nobleman thought victory was assured.

This time it will definitely be more difficult, and she has no chance of escaping, but she will definitely do her best.

Along the way, the female elf tried many counter-tracking techniques.

I took many detours, wandering into crowds or into deserted, dark alleys.

It seemed that no one was following her, and that the human nobleman Rand was indeed arrogant, or simply didn't care whether she would escape or not.

Actually, the elven noblewoman didn't really hate Rand; she hated Lysa.

Humans and elves are inherently enemies, and they are still enslaving each other to this day. It's perfectly normal for Rand to have the idea of ​​conquering the elven forests.

But Lysa, an elf who sided with humans and then returned to harm her own kind, was the kind of elf she hated most.

"It seems they really don't care about me much." The elven noblewoman had already reached the boundary area outside the resort's fence.

The resort is a town without walls, and it keeps expanding.

But without the protection of city walls, it is surprisingly safe here.

Of course, this elven noblewoman would not know these things.

Just as the elven noblewoman was about to climb over the barrier...

She felt the sky had darkened.

What followed was chilling.

The elven noblewoman's raised leg froze in mid-air.

Even though it was springtime, she felt a bone-chilling cold, as if she were in the frigid cold of the legendary far north.

A chilling killing intent locked onto her.

There is no such thing as murderous intent in this world, but there are indeed some advanced or top-level professionals with special abilities that can instill fear in others.

The elite noblewoman could not understand how this terrifying feeling arose, nor did she know where such terrifying murderous intent came from.

But this feeling clearly told her that if she took even one step away from here, she would die instantly.

The elven noblewoman retracted her raised leg and took a step back.

The chilling killing intent that seemed to place one in the deepest, coldest place vanished instantly.

The warm spring sun shone gently on the elven noblewoman once again.

The orange sunlight brought warmth and comfort, as if everything before had been an illusion.

But the female elf knew, of course, that this was not an illusion.

So what exactly is it?
She turned around, but couldn't see anyone suspicious at all.

To be precise, there was no one around, no cover, and no blind spot where anyone could hide.

The female elven noblewoman, refusing to believe it, raised her foot again.

That terrifying killing intent, as if it wanted to pierce and crush her, enveloped her once again.

The elven noblewoman gave up, realizing that there were powerful beings here whom she could not comprehend at all.

Even so, it's still far too powerful.

In the distance, on the towering clock tower of the church school, Elsa lay on a deckchair at the top, her beautiful, dark purple eyes slightly open.

She was an inspector and security chief, so this kind of prisoner attempt to escape was naturally within her jurisdiction.

It seems this female elf is quite clever; she didn't really stubbornly cross the boundaries of the resort, otherwise she might have really died.

As an assassin by profession and a thief by profession, Elsa thought her professional specialization would lean towards swordsmanship and bloodshed. Elsa was completely willing to use her life to help Rand achieve his goal.

Assassins do this kind of thing; their own lives are secondary considerations in order to complete their assassination missions.

But unexpectedly, his job was closely related to security, involving only some espionage work behind enemy lines, which falls under the category of assassins.

However, this kind of security work did allow Elsa to develop some special abilities.

For example, the threat of murder from a distance.

Whether it's a bird in the sky or a fish swimming in the water, anyone she locks onto will feel a chilling killing intent.

Moreover, this murderous intent is real; if Elsa's rules are violated, one will truly die.

Since acquiring this ability, Elsa has become much more adept at ensuring the safety of the resort. In fact, Elsa feels that this ability can be used even more drastically when facing powerful enemies.

Unfortunately, there weren't any strong opponents for Elsa to practice against.

Elsa observed that the elven noblewoman began asking for directions, specifically how to get to the labor camp, before disappearing atop the clock tower.

Elsa appeared beside Rand.

Elsa Ambrosette
Gender: Female
Ability 1: Versatile Hands

Ability 2: Void Walking

Ability 3: Law of Death】 Elsa estimated that her new ability came from the extension of her Omnipotent Hands and Void Walking. It was probably the spatial perception of the void that was used to lock on, and the Omnipotent Hands as an attack method to form an assassination at a very long distance.

It probably won't work very well against strong opponents at this stage.

I'm still unfamiliar with this ability; I'm not fast enough or strong enough. But there's no rush. In the meantime, this ability is still quite useful for spying.

You can check out what her Rand is doing in your spare time.

"What's wrong?" Rand was already used to Elsa's sudden appearances.

Elsa rubbed her hair: "The female elf prisoner tried to escape, but failed."

"Oh~" Rand nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

Elsa rubbed her hair again: "I've also discovered that I've mastered a new ability."

Rand raised an eyebrow.

Elsa told Rand about her new ability.

Rand covered his eyebrows.

Normally, a top-level professional will only possess one ability.

Elsa already had two ridiculously strong traits, which was already quite exaggerated, and now she has gained a third.

One can only say that the protagonist is just the protagonist, powerful beyond reason.

As a casual observer, Rand really didn't know the specific fates of each protagonist, so he couldn't know how powerful Elsa and Ellie would become in the end...

The exact amount is impossible to calculate.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, the elven noblewoman, after asking for directions, had arrived at the Sanctuary's labor reform department.

Along the way, the elven noblewoman was prepared to be hated, despised, and even attacked by humans.

The result is not.

Whether it's a child on the roadside, an elderly person, or a young adult.

No one was hostile towards the elves.

This feeling was completely different from when I was in the royal city of Bolun.

In the royal city of Bolun, enslaved elves are discriminated against, while free elves are hunted down.

But not here. It seems that here, it's quite normal for an elf to walk down the street.

The elven noblewoman was assigned to work in logistics at a church school.

In the past, elves were more likely to be assigned to teaching positions, but now the curriculum in church schools has been reorganized many times, and now teachers need to pass a teacher qualification exam to teach.

However, before starting her work, the elven noblewoman had to meet with her superior.

vanilla.

Vanilla is not a direct superior of the elven noblewoman; the elven noblewoman is not qualified. However, as the head of the teaching department, Vanilla will still oversee the newcomers.

"Knock, knock, knock." The elven noblewoman knocked on the door of the vice principal's office.

Vanilla is now the vice principal of the church school, not the head of the academic affairs office.

Vanilla's hard work over the years has earned her a promotion.

Although I've been promoted to vice principal, my job duties haven't changed much; I haven't become busier or easier.

This was the same as always, but Vanilla was well aware that her promotion to vice principal meant that she had truly gained Rand's trust.

So she was quite happy about her promotion. She had been an acting principal before, but an acting principal and a full-fledged vice principal are completely different things.

"Please come in." Vanilla's soft, clear voice came from behind the door.

The elven noblewoman entered the room.

What came into view was a beautiful elven girl with emerald hair and blue eyes. Some details clearly indicated that this elven girl was a member of the elven royal family.

Vanilla glanced up.

"What did the labor reform department ask you to do?"

The elven noblewoman did not answer immediately.

Her heart was in turmoil.

She realized something was wrong.

The elf before them was clearly free and held a high position.

Previously, it was discovered on the road that elves were not hostile to this land.

The lord here, the human nobleman Rand who conquered the Kingdom of Bolen, is accompanied by strange elves.

There is clearly a terrible reason behind all of this.

It is clearly impossible for human nobles to truly trust elves.

Here, however, elves are respected and hold positions of power.

The conclusion is then obvious.

The elf took control of Rand, a black-haired human nobleman.

Or perhaps Rand himself was an elf disguised as a human.

Only in this way can we explain why so many elves hold high positions in this territory.

So the elf named Lysa wasn't actually a traitor, but a warrior sent by the elven royal family to control humans?
Did she misunderstand Lysa?

This explains why, although he was arrested and interrogated, he was not subjected to any torture.

Thinking back, Rand threatened her with the elf children, but the elf children didn't actually seem afraid of Rand.

At the time, she thought it was because the elf child had become numb or hadn't reacted, but now she thinks that might not be the case.

The elven noblewoman swallowed hard: "They put me in the logistics department and made me attend night school."

Vanilla looked the elf up and down: "Were you a nobleman before?"

The elven noblewoman performed a standard elven noble greeting and said in her tongue-twisting elven noble language, "Yes, Your Highness Vanilla."

"Don't call me Your Highness, call me Vice Principal." Xiangcao glared at him.

The elven noblewoman immediately bowed her head: "Yes!"

Vanilla has met quite a variety of people.

Although she still looks like a young girl, she is actually quite mature in her dealings with people. She roughly knows what this elven nobleman is thinking, but it doesn't matter. Labor will make her realize what the truth is.

"Alright, you'll be in charge of procurement and logistics from now on. Report to the logistics department; someone will show you around. The logistics department is located at..."

The elven nobleman left the vice principal's office somewhat dazed and confused, heading to his workplace.

Vanilla then turned her attention back to the documents in her hands.

After interrogation and confirmation from all parties, Rand has determined that there are currently three opposing forces in the Elf Forest.

The Elven Royal Court's control over the Elven Forest has been weakening, and its corruption and deep-seated problems have been fully exposed.

Rand tells Vanilla that she might actually get the throne of the Hopeful Forest, and if Vanilla isn't opposed to it, she can start making some preparations.
