Chapter 76: Too Smart for His Own Good
The words "I have money" struck everyone, except for the demons, into silence.
N’zall wasn’t one to be left behind. "Money is not the issue! Anything else you need, just say it! Fights, killing, arson, throwing bodies around, anything, I can do it!"
Illiya: ...
There was no need for that! Which elf would hire demons to kill or set fires?! Elves were known to take revenge immediately, without any need for these kinds of after-the-fact actions.
Seeing N’zall and Ke’Oth about to speak again, Illiya quickly interrupted, "Enough, I really don’t need those services."
"I’ll provide the materials; you just need to give me the corresponding payment. But there is one thing I need help with."
Ke’Oth: "That’s it? That simple?"
N’zall: "Don’t say just one, I can do ten for you!"
Illiya carefully observed the expressions of the two demons and, seeing that they had genuinely agreed, let out a sigh of relief.
When traveling across the continent, one had to be cautious. Some subtle gestures and micro-expressions couldn’t fool a person, and genuine sincerity was easy to distinguish. What they feared was that one moment they might be best friends, only to have a knife in their back the next. Discovering such things truly suffocated an elf.
It was embarrassing!
