Number One Dungeon Supplier Chapter 1925 Elves

Chapter 1925 Elves

"I did agree that I went overboard but look at the bright side, we did not have to do anything drastic and saved a lot of manpower resources!" Kraft said and Jin rolled his eyes.
"Easy for you to say. Orcs and Goblins had to waste their time taking turns to be on guard and surveillance to ensure that the High Elves did not move away from their makeshift camp. It was not just a day or two kind of thing. It's practically a week or two." Jin replied angrily even though he knew that there was no use crying for spilled milk when it was already over.
"It's not like you had much to do these few days. You were merely dabbling with the paperwork from the Ministry of Land and checking up on your new pet in secret even though you practically owned the town a few days after that incident."
"Hey, I had been working my ass off doing up the building plans for the new Dungeon Supplier store for Shanghai and Beijing, okay?"
"Working your ass off? If that's working your ass off, the rest of the minions might have used your ass to wipe their tears off." For goodness sake, those buildings amount to nothing important. All of those things would eventually be torn down in a few months because you got sick of it or there were comments to improve it." Kraft debated for the sake of arguing and Jin took this as a chance to recognise that he was creating bullshit to stir the hornet's nest.
Thus, he attempted to take a deep breath in and calm himself down but in the end, the logic is in his brain demanded an explanation for such a roundabout way to do things. "In the first place, why did you not just take control of the High Commander and learn his thoughts? That way, we did not even need to go through the destruction of the New Adventurer's Town, create artificial natural disasters which we eventually need to clear up after the total demise and even save us resources?"
"Wow, accusing me for not doing my job?" Kraft was taken aback. This accusation was heavy handed coming from Jin but it was pretty obvious why the Devil Fox did that. It was mainly due to the fact that he wanted the High Elves to suffer after enjoying a supposed hard earned victory. Their arduous journey to reach the New Adventurer's Town was not an easy task in the first place especially when the Devil Fox himself had decided to put manmade obstacles to slow them down.
Some amounted the expedition to a damn cursed run, while many others had deemed the High Commander incompetent in running this expedition. They never had thought that there was someone behind the scenes manipulating and pulling the strings to make them suffer like this. Of course, Kraft could have taken the thoughts as easy as snapping his fingers and learning the location of the High Elf Kingdom. But because of the above reasons mentioned, he did not. In fact, the Night Foxes that he had trained were also able to get the coordinates of the High Elves' Kingdom without the aid of their master and yet, none of them rejected the plan to toy with the High Elves' lives a single bit.
"To put it plainly for this particular 'incident', I enjoyed the ride more than the end product,"?Kraft explained and Jin was speechless. He figured as much seeing how the High Elves were still been tortured to this day when they had been resurrected which meant that the Devil Fox and the Night Foxes were not releasing them of their misery even after their initial death.
But what was more …erm a closer inspection, the Night Foxes never let the High Elves die a second time despite all those torture rituals. They made them feel as if their next death would be the sweet eternal release, they all had been waiting for. However, it would never come because the Night Foxes never allowed them to die. Each time their muscles had been stripped from their bodies, it would be replaced again. Each time, they had been starved, their stomach would be filled with food once more. Some of the High Elves even tried ways to kill themselves in such a situation but they found themselves well and healthy instead of dying.
"In any case, as an apology, we shall contribute to the funding of the New Adventurer's Town if that appeases your anger. The Night Foxes collectively agreed to take out their own savings and pocket change to help rebuild it. After all, according to them, they were extremely grateful for the actions and inactions we did to aid them in their revenge against this small group of High Elves. They look forward to the main course eagerly."
"What actually makes them to be so bitter against the High Elves? I mean judging from the information that I had gleaned through the System after you had interrogated and collaborated the evidence, it seemed like they were living in luxury while the Dark Elves when we found them were in tattered and torn clothes."
"For one, that particular place where the High Elf Kingdom had resided, was one of the strongholds that the Dark Elves once held. According to records, it was supposedly their very last bastion before the High Elves kicked them out." Kraft said and it did not need much deduction to understand for Jin to see where this was going.
"Wait a minute. You are saying the High Elves kind of like move everyone to this castle like place after driving the Night Elves away?"
"That was what I thought but eventually, the Dark Elves said that as much as the High Elves were arrogant and sloppy, they were not like this in the past. Therefore, the Night Foxes especially the elder ones deduced that there might be a secret hidden bastion of High Elves hiding somewhere else in the event of a catastrophe attack against the current existing Kingdom of High Elves had been defeated." Kraft said.
"Oh… So, there is a reason why you have been torturing each and every one of them this way." Jin understood Kraft's thought process for the moment and spoke out in hopes that the Devil Fox would be able to clarify the reasons he had formulated.
"Yes, Searching through not just the memories of their own but we are running even deeper to see if their genes had encoded the mystery of the secret bastion. if that's what you are thinking." Kraft responded and Jin nodded his head. Basically, what the Original System Bellator was doing was exerting so much pain response from them that it initiated fight or flight responses.
However, it was not just any regular fight or flight response. Instead, he was hoping that someone was able to dig out the hidden powers of their elves and get one of their almighty ancestors to possess them in their dire need for help. In doing so, the mind possession of their ancestors would be taken advantage of by the Night Foxes and Kraft.
It was not for them to fight these possessed High Elves but rather to manipulate and collect the thoughts of the souls that were possessing them. All of this would not have been known if not for the stories and legends of the Dark Elves passed from one elder to another. To the tribe, it might have been made as a good bedtime story to talk about, but not for Kraft when he absorbed them as his own unit.
Each legend that the Elder spoke of would definitely have a speck of truth in it and the story about the ancient ancestors possessing their body was something that Kraft had proven accidentally when he was schooling the Dark Elves before they became the Night Foxes. But the one who had been possessed was not a mighty warrior and instead, a scholar. To Kraft who had sufficient power under his command did not need a new warrior. Therefore, he was elated when the scholar spirit collaborated with the Dark Elf Elder's stories, allowing Kraft to understand their arch enemies even better.
Even though he never expected the Dark Elves to have such a rich history when interacting with the scholar spirit, Kraft got the hint that the Dark Elves previously possessed powers that were equivalent to the Celestial beings themselves. This was one of the stories that Kraft was able to decipher from the words of the Scholars but he never made it known to Jin or the System.
He felt that it was unnecessary at that moment and that truth still rang true up to this day when he still pat his back up to his day for recruiting the Dark Elves. It was also the reason why he was now doing this act of revenge against the High Elves for a reason.
To gain more favour from the Night Foxes and add more monsters that were capable of defying the celestials should the need arise especially when Jin was not ready for them.
