Chapter 1252 - Master, You Are So Over The Top

This idiot is so naive. He actually wants to go against the Wind Forest’s army, and he is dragging everyone in the restaurant down along with him. Isn’t this akin to sending themselves there to be killed? Camilla tilted her head back as she took a big gulp of wine on the top of a tree branch. She let out a breath of white puff with a hint of impatience and melancholy in between her eyebrows.

“Madam, Miss Gloria starts to shower!” Right at this moment, Caesar called out softly.

“Where is it!?” Camilla, who was initially standing on top of the tree branch, changed into a hanging position, and stared at the little window that had a dim light on.

“Rip!”

Before she could even see anything clearly, the curtains were drawn close.

“No more,” Caesar said resignedly.

“Life is so boring. When will Miss Gloria understand my feelings for her? What’s so good about men? Lesbianism is actually the best,” Camilla said melancholically after taking a big gulp of wine as she sat on the tree branch again.

“Madam, if we go up north to take part in the event, would it affect the vampire tribe?” Caesar asked.

“So what if they find out? The elves had never liked us demons. It’s rather interesting to irritate those chaps from the Wind Forest.” Camilla pursed her lips with an odd expression. “However, I just feel very uneasy whenever I am reminded that I am going to save that woman Irina.”

“In that case, should we not go?” Caesar shivered a little too. Irina’s notoriety was known throughout the Demon Islands. Whenever a demon child refused to go to bed, the demon mother would threaten, “Irina will come to get you if you continue to cry…”

Now, they were actually going to save this big shot; this feeling was indeed a little odd.

“Escape? This is not in my character.” There was a hint of pride on Camilla’s face. She spread out her arms, transformed into a black bat, and disappeared into the dark of the night.

Rex reached out and grabbed Connie, who was making a face behind him in the dark, and gravely said, “A qualified assassin will not do such a juvenile action such as making a face behind his target. The opportunity to strike usually appears in the blink of an eye. If you can’t grasp this chance, you will be the one who dies.”

“Master, how did you see me? I’ve already concealed myself!” Connie, who was wearing black tights, was lifted up by her collar, and looked shocked.

“If you can only conceal yourself at this level, anyone above 7th-tier will be able to sense your location.” Rex put Connie onto the ground, and extended two fingers to pinch the narrow dagger she sneakily poked out from her sleeve. “Your method to attract attention is too lousy, and your expression is over the top. It will raise suspicion instead. For an assassin, this is also lethal.”

“But, I really cannot learn how to pretend to be someone else.” Connie kept her dagger with frustration.

During these times, besides learning the techniques of concealing and assassination from her master every day, she also had to learn how to be different characters in different circumstances.

The former two were still okay. Given her natural talent, her growth was fast.

However, when it came to role play, she was absolutely hopeless.

She could only play herself.

Rex stared at Connie for a while, and then suddenly burst out laughing.

Connie blinked, and aggrievedly said, “Master, what are you laughing at? Although I am a little stupid, you cannot laugh at me…”

Rex shook his head, and smilingly said, “When I was learning how to be someone else, I could never make myself be someone else successfully. Because of my character and the iconic bald head and eyes, I got noticed easily wherever I went.”

Connie looked at Rex’s head which already had hair, and curiously asked, “Then, how did you succeed?”

“I chose to give up.” Rex shook his head. “But I still became the best assassin. I don’t need to camouflage, and even rarely use concealment. I could kill whomever I wanted to. When faced with absolute power, any camouflage and concealment were simply extras.”

Connie looked with a complex look at Rex, who was staring up into the starry sky at a 45-degree angle with a lonely expression, and said, “Master, you are so over the top.”

“Ahem.” Rex cleared his throat and retrieved his gaze. He lamented to Connie, “You are the first assassin I met who can’t camouflage because she isn’t smart enough. This situation is really rare.”

“You are also the first man I met who turned from an assassin into warrior because you got no hair.”

The two of them stared at each other in silence, and then laughed at the same time.

“You have the blood of the nimravidae[1] in you. At first, I thought it was just a legend, but the totem’s strength had indeed manifested in you. Hence, you have a very natural gift for concealment, and could conceal your aura and sounds. This will become the support for you to become the best assassin, but it will not improve your power directly,” Rex said to Connie gravely. “If you want to kill Gary before he executes your brother, you have to follow my training strictly.”

Connie stopped smiling and nodded seriously when she heard that.

“Why didn’t you leave with them earlier?” Elizabeth asked Yabemiya, who was reading through the jade tablet excitedly, as she leaned against the headboard.

“Because I can’t bear to leave everyone and you, Big Sister.” Yabemiya put down the jade tablet and leaned her head on Elizabeth’ shoulder, and smilingly said, “I will not be able to lean on Sister’s shoulder if I go to Golden Dragon Island.”

Elizabeth’s gaze softened, and she touched Yabemiya’s head as she gently said, “In order to become a powerhouse, you have to get used to loneliness.”

“That mister gave me the cultivation methods earlier, so I don’t have to go to Golden Dragon Island to practice the cultivation methods. Like this, I still could become stronger and chase away those baddies who want to harm you.” Yabemiya picked up the tablet with a determined gaze, but soon her expression deflated, and she said with resignation, “But, how am I supposed to use this tablet? Why don’t I see the cultivation methods?”

“Drip your blood essence onto this tablet to unlock the blood seal on it. Then, you will be to see it.” Elizabeth formed an ice crystal needle in her hand, and pressed it gently onto Yabemiya’s fair finger. A drop of golden blood emerged on the tip of her finger, and then fell onto the golden jade tablet.

The golden jade tablet lit up with a glaring golden beam instantly, and glowing words began to appear on the tablet. At the same time, a shadow of a golden dragon flashed across the tablet.
