Chapter 310: The Last Piece
The next day, sixty-four became thirty-two. Karoso had no problems, and the afternoon was filled with the usual chaotic matches, with many popular players showing up.
However, these popular players could not match Karoso’s popularity; being young and a Card Maker gave him a huge advantage.
In the Knight Tournament, it wasn’t the knights who defeated others with popularity; it was the Card Maker, just like ice cream isn’t affected by its competitors but rather influences BMW.
After the matches, Karoso went alone to a quiet little tavern.
It was just like the tavern that Karoso and Teresa visited the first time—they were both dirty and messy.
Karoso did not come in his normal appearance; he had disguised himself in many ways.
Karoso didn’t wait long before a woman with white hair, fully covered in a robe, sat down across from him.
"Little brat, are you looking for me? How did you know I was in Laria, and that we dark elves have our own special way to contact each other?" Minaret quietly looked at Karoso.
She could be sure that even Osiris did not know this way of contact.
"None of this matters," Karoso didn’t know how to explain his source of information to Minaret. "What matters is that a dark elf appeared at the auction, and a wealthy person wants to buy both the dark elf and the High Elf, then tame them together…"
In an instant, a terrible pressure enveloped Karoso.
A chill filled the entire tavern, causing many people to shiver.
"What did you say?" The words coming from Minaret’s mouth sounded as if they were squeezed out from between her teeth.
The auction is not a secret for wealthy people; the only one deceived among the church leaders was Celica.
However, Minaret had been secretly protecting Karoso during these days, and she had not been inside the auction, so she did not know what was being sold there.
Buying the dark elf and High Elf together, taming them together…
What era did Minaret come from? What dirty or evil things has she not seen? When Karoso said a sentence, she understood what it meant.
"The two little fairies have been temporarily bought by Merlin," Karoso quickly said, "There will still be dark elves at the next auction."
"Phew…" Minaret let out a sigh, "Why are you telling me all this? What do you know?"
Only Osiris knows the news about Minaret secretly protecting Karoso.
To others, Minaret seems to be coming here for Celica.
"I know more than you think; Celica really is your enemy, and the church has imprisoned many dark elves… but at least the dark elves are safe in the church, as they have some hidden secrets. However, if they are bought, that becomes a serious matter." Karoso continued, "The reason I’m telling you this is that I want to work with you."
"Work together?" Minaret frowned slightly, "With just this information, a little child like you thinks you can partner with me? Let me tell you, I don’t even regard your father. I could find someone to participate in the auction in no time."
"I know you are the Dark Elf King, and you have your pride," Karoso unknowingly used a respectful tone, "But right now, you can only choose to work with me, because I have information that others participating in the auction do not have. For example, at the next auction, your people will have a complete rescue plan, which can be described as a life-or-death situation."
"I believe with your abilities, you could find the person I mentioned in less than half an hour."
"What if I catch you now, and make you tell me everything you know? What do you think?" Minaret leaned slightly forward, "Do you think anyone in this Laria can stop me?"
"I believe you are not that unwise." Karoso shook his head. "Master Norma has left a mark on me, and I am the key for Emperor Goufuh. If something happens to me, the Nature Mage Association, which usually does not get involved, will likely become enemies with the dark elves."
"Are you threatening me?" Minaret narrowed her eyes.
"You threatened me first," Karoso said, looking at her without concern.
Soon, Minaret laughed. "Alright, since you are so bold, I will work with you this once. What do you want from me?"
"For now, I don’t want anything. Just remember that I owe you a favor," Karoso said.
Minaret fell silent.
Damn, another favor to repay, favors are the hardest to settle…
At first, she was willing to help Osiris, partly because of their deal, and partly because Osiris did not kill her or hand her over to the church, which was a great favor.
Even after keeping Minaret locked up for so long, Minaret still had to thank Osiris.
"Sure, go ahead, what do you want to do?"
"I think I don’t need to come up with a plan; I only know some information. I will tell you everything I know, and you can decide what to do." Karoso knew that if he directed Minaret too much, he would lose a big favor.
Minaret looked at Karoso with a complicated expression.
Don’t be fooled by this little guy’s age; he might be even harder to deal with than Osiris in the future.
Just a moment ago, Minaret wanted to capture him to squeeze out all the information, but now he wants to share everything he knows with Minaret. This is quite a favor.
A mix of kindness and power, the way of a king.
……
In an underground tavern, there were only a dozen people sitting around a table having a meeting.
"This time my undercover plan was very successful." The person with a ponytail, whom Karoso had been watching, was speaking to a group of people, "Next time at the auction, I will cut the power to create chaos, and then one group will go to the armory to get the guns."
"As long as the magic circle is still working, they are similar to us, and firearms have a great advantage."
"Even a seventh-tier powerful person cannot use the cards; they can only fight us with normal means."
"I think they wouldn’t dare to turn off the magic circle; otherwise, with so many skilled guests, it would be hard to control and could lead to chaos."
"Following that, we release the dark elf, the high elf, and the captured knight. They will definitely help us buy some time, especially the dark elf. An experienced dark elf has no weak skills; a dark elf who cannot use cards is a king."
"Isn’t it unnecessary to rescue those captured items?" one person said. "We still need to find a way to unlock the Seastone cage; this is a waste of time."
"I am the planner of this mission, listen to me!" said the ponytail person with a grim expression. "Otherwise, if the mission fails… you know what the boss is capable of."
"I think we can add one more person to this plan."
At that moment, a voice came from the corner.
"Who!" The ponytail person and others were taken aback and quickly grabbed their weapons, pointing them at the source of the sound.
They don’t know when someone will enter their secret base. Is the eighth-tier hiding formation just for show?
