Chapter 349 - Hell’s Rose, Special Service

Vincent followed Dave through the streets of the Ghost Market and arrived at an extremely inconspicuous small courtyard.

There was only one room in the courtyard. Although it looked spacious, there was only one floor. It did not have the space that an auction house should have.

“We’re here. This is Hell’s Rose!” said Dave.

Vincent nodded and followed Dave silently. The two of them walked into the courtyard and pushed the door open.

Everything in the room was simple in nature. There were only two Dark Elves sitting in the room. When they saw Dave Walk in, they quickly stood up and said, “Your Highness, you’re here!”

Dave nodded slightly and pointed at Vincent behind him. He said to the two of them, “This is my new subordinate. I brought him here today to see the world. Help me make the necessary arrangements. I want to go directly to the fifth floor!”

The two Dark Elves looked at each other. One of them turned around and walked into the room behind him. The other one said to Dave respectfully, “Your Highness, please wait a moment. He has already made the arrangements!”

Dave nodded and looked at Vincent, who had a blank look on his face. He smiled and asked, “Are you curious? This is just an ordinary courtyard. How can there be a fifth floor?”

Vincent smiled and said, “That’s true!”

Dave explained meaningfully, “Many things cannot be seen on the surface. You have to pay attention to a person’s inner self. The Hell’s Rose does not include the room that we are in. There are a total of nine floors. You can open your eyes to see for yourself later!”

Vincent looked at the mysterious Dave. Although he had a silly smile on his face, he already had some guesses in his heart.

After all, Vincent’s experiences far surpassed this young Dark Elf in front of him. What kind of deception had he not seen before?

Very quickly, the Dark Elf who had left the room walked in again. He bowed slightly and said to Dave, “Your Highness Dave, everything Is ready! You can go in now!”

“Okay!”

Dave responded and then led Vincent into the room.

The layout of the room was even simpler than before. There were only two sofas and a small coffee table filled with wine in the middle of the floor.

Dave sat on the sofa with ease and pointed to the sofa across from him. He gestured for Vincent to sit down as well. He then opened a bottle of wine and poured it into two wine glasses.

Vincent walked forward, sat on the sofa, and took a wine glass from Dave. He took the initiative to clink glasses with Dave and took a sip.

“Kacha!”

Suddenly, the sound of a mechanism turning rang out. Immediately after that, the ground under Vincent and Dave suddenly shook violently. It was clear that it had the tendency to sink.

Vincent thought to himself that it was indeed so. It seemed that no matter which world the mechanism was from, it was always roughly the same. The design of this Hell’s Rose was basically in line with Vincent’s guess!

However, Vincent still did not forget his disguise. He hurriedly asked Dave with a panicked expression, “Your Highness, what’s going on? Should I bring you out?”

Dave sat peacefully on the sofa whilst holding a glass of wine. He looked at Vincent with a smile. He did not feel the slightest bit of danger.

Vincent pretended to be at a loss at first, but soon he came to a realization. He said, “Looking at Your Highness’s appearance, I don’t think there is any danger at the moment. Could it be that we are heading to Hell’s Rose now? That so-called nine-story building is underground, right?”

“Smart! Although you are from a small remote city, you can guess the true appearance of Hell’s Rose. It is enough to prove that your wisdom is very outstanding. It seems that I didn’t misjudge you!”

Dave praised with a smile and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp. He sat on the sofa and slowly enjoyed the sinking process.

Vincent watched the entire floor sink into the ground. It soon reached the first floor. However, the mechanism did not have any intention of stopping and continued to lead Vincent and Dave down.

Vincent took advantage of the fleeting opportunity to observe the scene on the first floor. He saw many sneaky figures in black robes gathered in the very spacious underground hall.

Some of them squatted in the corner whilst some deliberately curled their bodies and whispered to others. However, their conversations were never long. They would either part on bad terms or joined their two wide sleeves together. It was unknown what they were fiddling with.

Vincent only took a glance, but he had managed to capture so much information. However, as the ground continued to sink, the surroundings turned into a layer of underground rock again.

It seemed that there was still a long distance to go between the first and second levels. However, if that was the case, where would the ninth level of Hell’s Rose lead to?

Dave saw Vincent looking ahead in a daze and could not help but ask, “What are you looking at? Could it be that you are very curious about the first level?”

Vincent turned his head and said softly, “We descended too quickly just now. I did not see what was on the first level. I am just curious about how we are descending so quickly. There should be a lot of noise, but why can’t we hear anything?”

Dave immediately explained, “This lift platform has been reinforced with a formation. It can isolate all sounds from the outside world, so we won’t hear any noise! Even if you saw the first level clearly, you would not be interested in entering the first level. This is because the creatures on the first floor are all criminals and thieves who do not want to be seen in the light. Some of them might be criminals who had escaped from other cities whilst some might be servants from noble families. However, all of them have some treasures on them. Some were stolen, and some were owned by them. Although they may be valuable, there is a risk for them to expose their identities if they exchange them out in the open. Therefore, they used black robes to cover their bodies when trading with others. They would also deliberately lower their voices. Once the price was confirmed, they would hand over the money in one hand and the goods in the other. They wouldn’t let a third person know about it. This way, they could protect their secrets to a great extent. At the same time, it is the most boring place in Hell’s Rose. The things that can be sold there are also uneven. It’s not worth entering at all!”

Vincent immediately nodded his head after hearing Dave’s explanation. If that was the case, the first floor was indeed very boring and the items that the fugitives and thieves could carry were certainly not high-grade goods. There was a high probability that they were only some gold and silver that could be exchanged for coins. They were completely useless to cultivators.

At this time, the descending platform had passed through the second floor. Vincent seized the opportunity to observe the second floor.

The second floor was filled with corpses. The entire space was covered in blood. Every corpse was incomplete as if they had been chopped up countless times.

The few remaining Dark Elves on the second floor were still swinging their knives and killing each other. This scene was like real hell!

Dave asked again, “What did you see just now?”

Vincent thought for a moment and answered truthfully, “Red like blood!”

Dave smiled slightly, “That’s right, that’s the color of blood! The second level is known as the killing space. There are always some psychopaths who want to vent their desire to kill. The second level of Hell’s Rose provides them with such a space. There would be a massacre-like chaotic battle there every day. As long as one paid enough wealth, they could exchange for the corresponding weapons and go to the second underground level. There are no rules there. Only the last person alive can walk out of the second underground floor and take away the bountiful reward! Therefore, other than the perverts who want to kill, there are also some who want to take the opportunity to make money. In short, that floor is dirty and messy. It is the most unstylish floor in Hell’s Rose, and it is also the floor that I would never go to!”

Vincent understood in his heart and immediately asked with a smile, “So, Your Highness has also gone to the first floor?”

Dave did not expect Vincent to ask so directly. He was a little embarrassed for two seconds before he said with a dry smile, “When I was young, I also stole valuable items from my family and hid on the first floor to secretly sell them. But that is all in the past!”

“Your Highness’s childhood was really interesting!”

Vincent smiled and complimented Dave so that he no longer felt awkward. At the same time, he sighed in his heart that this kid was not very old. It seemed that what happened when he was young might have just happened a few years ago, or even a few months ago!

Following that, the two of them passed through the third and fourth floors one after another. Vincent was able to see everything within the two floors.

The third level had countless small rooms that were like iron cages. Inside the rooms were all the monsters captured from the Black Hole world. Vincent could recognize the origin and strength of those monsters at a glance. After all, he had controlled an army of 100,000 monsters’ souls back then.

The layout of the fourth level was almost the same as the third level. However, the creatures inside were no longer monsters. Instead, they were some Dark Elves and a few otherworld races.

Vincent suppressed his surprise and turned to ask Dave curiously, “The levels that we just passed by should be the third and fourth floors. The light inside is too dim, so I can’t see anything. Can Your Highness tell me about it?”

Dave nodded, “The third floor is the monster auction center. These monsters that were captured from the Black Hole world have thick skins and strong physiques. Many nobles like to buy them as pets or mounts. I have many of these monsters at home. I can give you one too, so you don’t need to buy them here! As for the fourth floor, it’s the slave-trading center. Most of the prisoners that were caught on the first floor are usually on death row. There are also some servants who have made a big mistake in the noble’s home. Their records will be erased here, and they will become slaves and be sold at a suitable price!”

Vincent could not help but mutter, “So the slave-trading center sells Dark Elves. I thought the slaves should be elves instead!”

Dave looked at Vincent in surprise and asked, “Do you hate the elves very much?”

Vincent shook his head and said, “I don’t feel anything. It’s just that the Dark Elves around me all hate the elves very much! What about Your Highness?”

Dave smiled gently and turned to look at the side. He said softly, “I’m a believer of Gajero, but I don’t discriminate against or hate the elves who have other beliefs. Because beliefs should be free. The Dark Elves and the elves are of the same origin. Even if they have different beliefs, they should just walk on their own paths. There’s no need to fight to the death!”

Vincent asked in surprise, “But there are two elves who want to assassinate Your Highness! Don’t you hate them?”

Dave nodded calmly, “If I die at their hands, or if I am seriously injured because of their assassination, then I will hate them very much! But today, I am not injured. There is no need for me to hate those useless assassins. Their real target is not me; they just want to assassinate my father!”

After hearing that, Vincent suddenly asked, “Since they want to kill your father, don’t you hate them too?”

Dave could not help but frown, his eyes narrowed slightly as if he was a little angry, but he did not scold Vincent. Instead, he replied in a low tone, “Even if those elves want to kill my father, they have to be able to do it! There are many traps in Devil Flame City. The city-guarding army can rush to any corner in an instant. Once the elves enter the city, they will die without a doubt. If they deliberately seek death, I will not pity them! I just want to tell you that in the future, it is fine to scold the elves in front of others, but I hope you can understand that no matter what their beliefs are, they are still our part of our race… It’s just that these Dark Elves in power act as if they are too important and want to exclude others. If I become the City Lord, I will definitely let the Dark Elves and elves coexist peacefully in the city that I rule!”

After hearing what Dave had said, Vincent could not help but take a deep breath. The young man’s bold words were astonishing. Vincent could not help but praise him in his heart.

However, at the same time, Vincent knew that his idea was completely unrealistic. Dave only wanted the elves to be united, but he did not know how terrifying Gajero was.

Gajero only wanted to control the Elf World wholeheartedly. How could he allow the Dark Elves and the elves to coexist peacefully?

If Dave really allowed the Dark Elves and elves to coexist peacefully when he became the City Lord, Gayero would definitely not let him off!

Vincent thought for a moment in silence, and then said, “I admire Your Highness’s style and bearing! Compared to you, the other Dark Elves are too narrow-minded in their pursuit of faith!”

Dave nodded slightly and did not respond to Vincent’s praise. It was as if he was fantasizing about the glory of Devil Flame City after he became the City Lord.

Vincent took the opportunity to approach him and ask, “Your Highness, other than the Dark Elves, can you buy slaves from the other races on the fourth floor?”

Dave came back to his senses, he nodded and said, “Of course we can, but it is extremely rare. It’s something that can be encountered but not sought. Moreover, the price of slaves from other races is usually very expensive. If the few foreign races that escaped from your city did not offend the gods, there is a high chance that they will be captured and sent here. They will be bought by nobles or wealthy merchants to show off!”

Vincent nodded in understanding. It seemed that he would need to go to the fourth underground floor to look for an opportunity. Perhaps he would be able to find something else there.

The sinking floor platform finally stopped. It was the exit to the fifth floor of Hell’s Rose. At that moment, there was no need for Dave’s introduction. Just by looking at the scene in front of him, Vincent could already guess what the fifth floor was for.

As soon as they stopped, more than ten beautiful female Dark Elves swarmed into the passage. They were all waving their hands at Vincent and Dave, their intentions were self-evident.

“This…”

Vincent looked at Dave with an awkward expression. He did not expect that this newly grown Dark Elf would have such a hobby.

Dave looked at Vincent’s awkward expression. With a serious expression, he said, “Don’t think too much! Although the fifth floor is a place for sex, not all of the elves are here to vent their lust. This is also the best place to relax. Follow me and you’ll know!”

Vincent nodded in response. He stood up to follow Dave into the fifth floor. The two of them ignored the female Dark Elves who were waiting in the corridor to welcome them. They just walked straight toward the end of the floor. There were also female Dark Elves hosting there. However, their attire was more dignified, and their behavior was also very fitting.

After seeing Dave’s arrival, a female Dark Elf who had quite a temperament walked forward and said softly, “Your Highness Dave, welcome! May I ask what service you need today?”

Dave replied with familiarity, “The usual rules for two! The best relaxing service!”

The beautiful elf nodded and said, “Yes, please enter the VIP room and wait!”

Dave turned his head to signal Vincent. He then led him into a luxurious lounge.

There were two soft couches in the lounge. Dave laid on one of them and signaled Vincent to lie on the other.

Vincent walked forward and laid down a little uneasily. He was thinking about how this was the first time he had come to such a place, and he was actually brought by an elf child who had just become an adult. He felt helpless and awkward.

Soon, the door was pushed open, and three female Dark Elves walked in one after another.

The first Dark Elf who walked in looked old, but her beauty and temperament were still breathtaking. The other two Dark Elves behind her were well-dressed. They were holding a short magic staff in their hands. Their outfits were somewhat different from what Vincent had imagined.

The elderly female Dark Elf walked to Dave’s side, bent down, and said gently, “Your Highness Dave, it’s been a long time since you’ve come here to relax. I thought it was because the girls here didn’t treat you well and made Your Highness angry!”

“Catherine, what are you saying? It’s just that my father has been strict with me recently, so I didn’t have time to come out for a while! Your service here is the most considerate one in Devil Flame City. How could I not be satisfied?”

The elder female Dark Elf named Catherine stood up and said with a smile, “It’s good that Your Highness is satisfied. If Your Highness has anything else that you want to do today, just tell me. I will personally arrange it for you!”

Dave raised his hand and pointed at Vincent beside him. He said to Catherine, “This is my brother’s first time here. Help him to relax and then help me to arrange the auction today. Remember not to be too ostentatious, and it’s best if it’s hidden!”

“I will definitely satisfy His Highness’s request!”

Catherine nodded and left the room.

The remaining two Dark Elves stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Dave and Vincent. They then picked up their staff and began to chant.

“Great God Gajero, please grant me the ability to cleanse my body and mind!”

A faint black light rose from the two staff. Vincent and Dave’s bodies were instantly enveloped by the black light.
