Hidden genius: Black belly snake

Chapter 392: Keep your enemies close Part4

Lucas and Xander walked in the front, while Xavier and Charlotte closely followed behind as the four of them walked out of the foggy mist.

"Frost Thorn is actually one of the top guilds including both northern and southern territories. I guess I should be embarrassed to boast about this since you guys had to rescue me just now."

"Aha Ha Ha. Doesn't reflect on my guild. A bad miscalculation on my part." Lucas continued, as he was filling in the three elves about the details of the guild.

Once they were out of the fog, he paused and grinned at the three elves all listening to him intently. "So what do you guys think? Do you want to join our guild?"

"I swear. We normally do not recruit so easily, but I don't want to be ungrateful. I would be dead without you three, so this is the least that I can do."

Lucas chuckled awkwardly as he tried to convince his saviors, but he didn't have to try much as Xander readily agreed. "Thanks for your hospitality and kindness, Lucas."

He even flashed a small smile that made the hair on the back of the other two elves stand up.

"Alright. It's settled then. You three are coming with me." Lucas winked and gave a thumbs up in delight, as he quickly pulled out something from his spatial ring.

The next second, a massive airship roared alive in front of them, seemingly powered by several runes and gems. 

Xavier gaped in awe as he ran his fingers over the vehicle's exterior. It was truly a marvelous creation.

"We have the blueprints in the guild." Lucas chuckled and patted him. 

"You guys can access it for free after joining. All recipes are freely available. One of the perks of joining a guild."

"That's interesting." Xander flashed another smile, making the other two elves cringe slightly.

Once all four of them boarded the airship, Lucas settled down in a corner to recuperate and recover some of his deeper injuries, while Xavier scurried over closer to Xander who was standing on the other side of the massive airship.

"Brother perhaps you should reign in that fake enthusiasm. It's kind of going a bit overboard." He nervously poked the man staring at the land beneath as they were flying over the mainland.

"Heh. What are you blabbering? I don't think that I am being fake at all."

Xavier rolled his eyes without being able to argue with that unreasonable response.

"So why are we going along with the human?"

"Didn't you listen?"

"You mean when he was going on and on about his guild? Hmmm To be honest I only listened to some of it." Xavier scratched his head. "I hate people who boast." He then added with a solemn nod.

Xander ignored his brother's thick skin and explained with a light chuckle. "Their guild is famous for many things but their most prided accomplishment is having captured a small clan of ten serpentine spirit beasts."

"What the hell? Are you serious?"

Hmmm Xander hummed watching the landscapes change under them as they flew over at a tremendous speed. "Their guild specializes in capturing demonic cultivators."

"But brother then aren't they our worst enemies?"

"Of course, they are. They are also our best allies when it comes to searching for her" 

Xander's crimson eyes turned freezing cold as he stared at the human being mediating obliviously at a safe distance away from them. 

However, it was only for a moment, after which his expression once again turned calm and gentle.

"Ahhh Damn it. Why do I feel like this is going to backfire at us very badly?" Xavier shook his head helplessly. He then turned to the other elf for help.

"Eh? Charlotte? You also don't have anything to say about this?"

Charlotte, however, did not seem too eager to come to his side and argue for him. "The plan sounds good enough." She absentmindedly answered.

Her blue eyes gazed at the vast lands below them, wondering where exactly was Tang Yue in this huge mess that spanned indefinitely.

The airship was quite fast and they speedily reached the main headquarters of the Frost Thorn guild located at the Nazom Kingdom in a few hours.

"Alright. I will land the ship here because we cannot fly over the capital city." Lucas informed the three elves.

"By the way, are you three siblings or friends or?" He added, raising his brows quizzically.

"Friends." Xander simply smiled.

However, Xavier promptly stepped in to explain more. "We are brothers and she is his ex-wife."

"Ah I see" Lucas ruffled his brown hair and awkwardly chuckled, regretting touching such a sensitive topic, but he had to admit that he quite liked his new companions.

The four of them got down from the ship at the outskirts of the city which was completely on another level when compared to the Eldorian royal city.

In fact, the city itself was probably as big as the entire Eldorian Kingdom. 

There was an entrance fee of 10 gold which Lucas graciously covered for everyone and the four then casually strolled along the streets.

"We have a special celebration party at the guild tonight. Someone's birthday probably or someone made a breakthrough?"

"Ha Ha. It's just an excuse to get together every month and chat and drink." 

"But I still think it would be good for you guys to join today as I can introduce you to a few higher-ups."

"It will definitely help you out a lot when they are considering a team for a dungeon run or a raid."

"Connections are everything. You know what I mean?" Lucas chatted with the three elves and explained to them the various things as he brought them over to the guild headquarters.

He was very chatty by nature and since it worked in their favor, all the three elves kept encouraging him to talk more.

And before long, they had already reached the headquarters.
