Chapter 396: Merchant Pope

After watching the drama of power struggle in the palace, Chief Qiu and Angelica went to the Adventurers' Guild and the Magicians' Guild, asking them to find the whereabouts of the dark elves and to inform them of the prophet's situation.

When they learned that the prophet had been recaptured but had fallen into a long coma, their nervous hearts were relieved a lot.

Soon, a high-priced bounty for clues about the dark elves appeared on the Adventurer's Guild's commission board.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, the commission specifically mentioned not to attack the dark elves, whether injuring or killing them. Of course, a certain degree of defense is still acceptable.

After dealing with the most urgent matter, Qiu Qiu and Angelica met with Etia, Xiaolong and others at the Magic Guild again.

When they met again, both sides inevitably talked about what had happened during this period.

However, before Chief Qiu could share too much information about the Second Black Dragon War with Etia, the clue they were looking for appeared.

I had thought the Adventurer's Guild would be the first to fulfill this bounty. Instead, Qiu and Angelica met the person who completed the bounty in the Magician's Guild's meeting room. And the reason for all this was Qiu and his group's initial actions.

To change the racial tensions, Elena had to recall the scattered dark elves. After all, a shift in racial stance required a great deal of effort. Consequently, the dark elves largely remained hidden within their own territories. They were completely unaware of the newly announced bounty, and subsequent information was unlikely to reach them.

"It's you!" * 2

After seeing the visitor in the conference room, Angelica was not only very surprised, but the visitor was also the same. Both parties even subconsciously took a step back.

"Pope!"

"You damn profiteer!!"

Angelica looked at the middle-aged fat man in white clothes. Realizing that her position had been reversed, Angelica gnashed her teeth and called out his name. At Stella's place, Angelica learned that the casino she went to back then was notoriously shady.

Angelica's previous huge gambling debts were due to her bad luck on the one hand, and Pope's instructions to his men to cheat a lot on the other.

Pope was also blinded by greed back then. In order to prevent Angelica from discovering any disadvantages, he often acted like a debtor.

"that..."

"I never thought that I would see the genius magical girl Angelica-sama again one day."

There was a hint of embarrassment and a flattering smile on Pop's fat face.

"Tell me, do you have any clues about the dark elves?"

The prophet's matter was important, and Angelica didn't intend to dwell on the past with Pop.

"Sir, I not only have clues about the Dark Elf, but I also have a living Dark Elf."

With a charming smile on his face, Pope didn't intend to play the game of a businessman and directly threw out his chips. Pope still remembered the situation where he was beaten by the magician before.

"I remember the reward said not to hurt them, didn't it?"

With a hint of dissatisfaction, Angelica glanced at Pope fiercely.

"Your Excellency may not know that this dark elf was captured by my men some time ago."

"Originally, I planned to use her as the finale item at the upcoming auction and sell her to those noble lords."

"It's just that after hearing that the bigwigs in the Magician's Guild needed clues about them."

"I came here immediately."

"Even the content about not harming them, I only heard it from adults."

Pope was sweating profusely and quickly comforted himself.

In Pope's heart, he blamed the servant who informed him of the news, but he was also afraid of being captured by the magician and locked up in a small dark room without any sound.

The last time he was taken away by a high-ranking magician, he had deeply experienced the horror of the small dark room. Crucially, the magicians claimed that this room was filled with extraordinary magical energy and was a place for them to meditate and achieve breakthroughs. And the reason he was imprisoned was simply to help him break through the magician level.

For Pope, a level 1 civilian, he has neither the talent for magical energy nor the ability to reach the level of breakthrough at each stage.

"Is it just because I'm a single middle-aged man?"

In the end, Pope could only comfort himself in this way.

"Okay, take me to see the dark elf."

"I have something to ask their clan."

Seeing that Pope was so tactful, Angelica didn't want to delve into it any further.

"Sir, I'll take you there."

"I just...I just hope that you, sir, will stop taking the past things to heart."

Pope turned around and led the way, humbly hoping that Angelica would not delve into the past any further.

"What happened before has made me grow a lot psychologically."

"If you want to let go, then let go."

After leaving the Magicians' Guild in silence, Angelica looked at the carriage parked ahead, and couldn't help but recall her earlier, foolish days. This carriage was one she'd used quite often. Things had been so intense recently that Angelica felt as if she were in another world. Seeing this familiar object again was like seeing her younger self from a while ago.

Angelica smiled and said the above words.

"What's wrong? You seemed quite sad before."

Chief Qiu is really the one who brings up things that are not related to the topic.

"Nothing, I just didn't expect that the small dark room that we magicians use for breakthroughs could cast such a big shadow on Pope."

"Brother Qiuqiu, do you want to go in and experience it~"

Angelica had a smile on her face, but she said words that made him shudder.

When Qiu heard about the common things in novels, he knew what Angelica was planning.

Qiu Qiu looked at Angelica's habitual lying posture, and Qiu Qiu also followed her example and lay down in the relatively spacious carriage.

After a while, Pope brought Chief Qiu and Angelica to a warehouse where he collected important items.

"Pope, now that we're here."

"Why don't you tell me how this dark elf came about?"

"After all, you've invested a lot of money."

Angelica knew that since this dark elf was Pop's finale item, it must be worth a lot.

Since Pop was willing to go to the Magicians' Guild, he was prepared to pay a heavy price. This was partly due to repairing his relationship.

"My lord, you don't know."

"This dark elf is at the top level of a mid-level professional."

"It can be said that she has a high status among the dark elves."

"Plus, the dark elves are all very beautiful, but they also have an appearance that is beneficial to humans, as well as the reputation of their race..."

"Hehe... Anyway, it can be sold at a very high price among high-ranking nobles."

When Pope heard Angelica mention something about money, he subconsciously started explaining the value of dark elves.
