Chapter 493: Drinking and Making Merry, Becoming a God on the Spot

“Drinking?”

Vincent sighed in surprise. He did not expect Winnie’s request to be so weird.

Although he had just established his invincible stance, he still had to satisfy Winnie’s requests.

“Don’t worry, there’s plenty of good wine in Serene Spring City, and it’s especially used to entertain friends! Since you guys want to have a good chat, then let’s enter the city together!”

As someone who was afraid of Vincent’s abilities, and had seen Vincent’s full strength, Benjamin was very resistant at that moment. All he wanted was to stay as far away from Vincent as possible.

However, he did not expect Winnie to be so mesmerized by Vincent. Not only did she want to compete with him, but she also wanted to drink with him. This made Benjamin feel like crying.

Winnie did not care about Benjamin’s reaction at all. After being invited into Serene Spring City, Winnie replied cheerfully, “Alright! Then we’ll be your guests. We’ll go into Serene Spring City to have a good meal!”

Vincent turned to look at Melissa, asking if she could arrange it.

Melissa immediately nodded and said softly, “Don’t worry, master. After returning to the city, I’ll immediately get someone to prepare drinks and a banquet. I guarantee that everyone will have a comfortable environment to chat in!”

Vincent nodded in response. He then turned around and raised his hand, gesturing for Winnie to follow him into the city.

Mcgee, who had been acting as a bystander, took the initiative to leave. He said, “Mr. Vincent, I am in a hurry to return to the barracks. Please forgive me for not being able to stay here any longer!”

Vincent smiled slightly and said in a very good-natured manner, “It’s fine. Go do what you need to do!”

Mcgee nodded and turned to leave the battlefield, leaving Melissa, Horace, and Benjamin behind. The remaining individuals followed behind Vincent and Winnie and entered the city gate.

A table of delicacies was prepared and served in the City Lord’s residence.

Sophia, who had been unshackled by Melissa, poured wine personally for the crowd from a flagon.

As the host, Melissa took the lead and raised her glass. She said, “Everyone, today, City Lord Winnie and I are friends. No matter what kind of misunderstanding we had before, let’s forget about it. Now that everyone has seen the true face of the Demon Race, we also hope that City Lord Winnie can stand up against the Demon Race with us. Let us overthrow the belief in the Demon Race and take back our world!”

Winnie raised her wine glass and nodded at Vincent. She then said to Melissa, “Do you know why I stopped just now?”

Melissa shook her head in confusion.

Winnie said randomly, “You said that everything is for the elves. You don’t care about winning or losing, and you don’t care about life and death! I admire such a character very much, so I took the initiative to stop to show respect. This is because your way of doing things has always been my code of conduct! As the City Lord of Mosen City, I have always prioritized the well-being of the residents of the city in everything I do. I have also helped the surrounding cities to maintain the stability and development of the Dark Elf World! At first, I thought that you were the destroyers of this world and that you wanted to cause a disturbance in Elf World. That was why I couldn’t wait to lead my troops to attack Serene Spring City. However, I soon realized that you were the same as me. You were doing it for the sake of the Elf Race, for the sake of your own city. And for that, you were willing to pay any price!”

After hearing Winnie’s comment, Melissa quickly nodded and said, “You’re right. Protecting Serene Spring City and ensuring that all the elves in the city live in a peaceful and vibrant world is my lifelong wish! It is also my master’s teachings and expectations for me. Even if I have to give up my life, I will do it resolutely and carry it out to the end!”

“Master?”

Winnie frowned slightly and subconsciously looked at Vincent. Her eyes were instantly filled with curiosity.

She could not imagine how a Dark Elf would take an outsider as her master.

Melissa smiled and said, “That’s right. Ever since my master stepped into Elf World, he has been working tirelessly to save the Elf Race. At the same time, he is also the new God of our Elf Race!”

“What?”

After hearing Melissa’s introduction, Benjamin and Winnie instantly jumped up from their seats and looked at Vincent in shock. Their mouths were wide open as if they could fit a whole world inside.

Horace, who was sitting at the side, looked at Vincent curiously. He realized that Benjamin did not know Vincent’s identity as a god. This meant that Vincent did not expose his identity to them. Yet, he still managed to convince Benjamin and the other Dark Elves to abandon their beliefs and racial differences and accept his suggestion.

For someone like Horace, who had been suffering from the conflict of beliefs all his life, he understood how difficult it was to convince someone to convert their beliefs.

Vincent was slightly stunned and looked at Benjamin and Winnie with a sudden realization. He sighed with slight surprise, “Oh! I forgot to tell you, I am actually a god of the Elf Race, and I still have five divine sparks left. I am currently looking for a suitable successor for the Elf Race!”

After hearing Vincent’s explanation, Benjamin and Winnie became even more shocked. Their mouths were opened far wider than before.

Becoming a god of the Elf Race was already a very difficult task. In addition to that, Vincent was currently holding five divine sparks. This was simply heaven-defying.

Melissa and Horace, who were sitting at the side, were also shocked. This was the first time they heard that Vincent was looking for an heir.

To the elves who valued their faith, the god was a sacred and unreachable existence. However, Vincent had the opportunity to help ordinary elves become gods. This made them feel that they were only one step away from becoming gods.

This almost blasphemous thought made Horace and Melissa feel excited and proud!

Vincent looked at the four shocked faces around him and said helplessly, “You don’t have to be too surprised. When the seven great Elf Kings fought against Gajero, they were all heavily injured by him. The divine sparks that belonged to the Elf Race ended up in Imperial City! Gajero stole the divine spark of the Dark Elf King and became a god of the Elf Race, thus creating the Dark Elves. However, any living being could only carry one divine spark with them, so the remaining six divine sparks became ownerless objects. Only remnant souls left behind by the Elf Kings were guarding these divine sparks. I had received the Fire Elf King’s approval by chance and thus inherited the fire divine spark. Now, the Fire Elves that could be seen everywhere in Serene Spring City and Devil Flame City are all my believers! However, it is impossible for the elves to regain their former glory with just one single element. Therefore, I will have to choose the elves that are willing to sacrifice themselves in the war against the demons. Elves that received the approval of the majority will take over as the gods of the elves. This will also help to expand the faiths of the elves!”

After listening to Vincent’s explanation, Melissa turned to look at Horace subconsciously. She said softly, “In Serene Spring City, other than master, the residents respect Mr. Horace the most! This is because, in the previous defensive battle, he always took the lead and did not leave the battlefield even when he was heavily injured. This has brought great encouragement and excitement to Serene Spring City. This also gave us the courage to fight against the three apostles that gathered outside the city previously until master’s arrival. I believe that Mr. Horace will definitely meet master’s requirements!”

Vincent turned to look at Horace, smiled, and said, “Actually, I have heard about your good performance! However, you can be hot-tempered at times. Sometimes, your thoughts are also prone to extremes. If I let you become a god, I’m worried that all the wood elves will be affected by you and become extremely hot-tempered. That’s why I haven’t mentioned this to you!”

Horace swallowed his saliva nervously and quickly lowered his head. He replied, “Sir Vincent is right. I know that I do not have much control over my emotions. It’s difficult for me to shoulder such a heavy responsibility as a god. I do not have a divine personality!”

Vincent shook his head and said, “No! Previously, I was actually thinking too one-sidedly. Now, it seems that you are actually very suitable to become an elf god!”

“Ah?”

Horace looked at Vincent nervously.

Vincent continued, “The gods of the Elf Race should not be aloof and cold gods. Instead, they should be a group of flesh and blood that can accompany each and every elf in times of danger! And isn’t excitement and stubbornness also a manifestation of real existence? Therefore, I have decided that you will inherit the Wood Elf’s divine spark. However, you must make sure to start trying to control your emotions. Don’t let yourself be manipulated by your emotions!”

Horace was nervous once again. He nodded excitedly again and said, “If Sir Vincent trusts me and is willing to let me contribute even more strength to the Elf Race, I will definitely try my best to control my emotions and become a qualified God. Even if I can’t kill the demons that wreaked havoc in the Elf World like you, I will still be willing to die in battle for the Elf Race at all times and never retreat!”

Vincent nodded and praised, “Good! If every inheritor of the divine spark has the same determination as you, then I believe that the elves are not far from a true revival! After this meal, I will help you fuse with the divine spark!”

“Yes!”

Horace nodded in response. He then drank the remaining wine in his cup excitedly.

At that moment, Benjamin and Winnie were still in shock and could not extricate themselves.

Vincent turned to look at Benjamin and Winnie and asked softly, “What’s wrong with the two of you? Do you also want to become gods of the Elf Race? Then I’m afraid you will need to immediately change your beliefs and contribute more to the fight against the demons! As the power of the Dark Elves comes from the demons, you are currently not qualified to become gods!”

Benjamin and Winnie quickly shook their heads and said, “No, no, no! We do not want to become gods, no, we do not dare to blaspheme the gods! But if the crimes committed by the demons are real, we are willing to change our beliefs and break away from the identity of the Dark Elves!”

Vincent nodded and said with a smile, “Alright, then we welcome you to a new life! Because I believe that the true face of the demons will soon be revealed to the public!”
