Chapter 438: Returned to Serene Spring and Was Executed in a Referendum
“Over there! Vincent is back! What’s that thing in his hand?”
“That’s not a thing, isn’t that the Great God Gajero who is being worshipped in the temple?”
“That’s not the Great God Gajero, that’s a demon! Vincent has captured a demon!”
The streets and alleys of Serene Spring City were filled with noise and heated discussions. All the residents had gathered on both sides of the streets to look at Vincent. Vincent lifted Theodore and swaggered through the city with Dave.
Dave held his head high and puffed out his chest. He had a smug look on his face.
Vincent’s expression, however, was indifferent. He did not show the slightest reaction.
Theodore, who was being grabbed by the neck, felt like dying! After receiving Gajero’s reward, he had evolved into a demon ahead of ti. Although he had transford into a demon, Theodore still felt that his heart was sowhat heavy. This was because he knew that he used to be a Dark Elf. He was a little embarrassed to use the face of a demon to face other Dark Elves. That would remind him that he was a traitor. He was also worried that he might be criticized by others behind his back.
Therefore, in order to avoid such an embarrassing situation, he planned to absorb the Origin Divine Earth, kill all the Dark Elves, and then evolve into a demon. This way, he would not be as embarrassed as he was at that mont.
Unfortunately, his plan did not work. Vincent’s appearance not only turned Theodore into a demon but had also made him a prisoner on the streets!
The strong sense of sha and low self-esteem made Theodore feel extrely uncomfortable. At the sa ti, he hated Vincent who had caused all of this!
After hearing the news that Vincent and Dave had returned successfully, lissa imdiately rushed over from the City Lord’s mansion with her soldiers.
When she saw the living demon in Vincent’s hands, lissa could not help but be shocked. She asked with fear, “What’s going on? Who have you captured? Could it be an oracle from Imperial City?”
Vincent shook his head and said with a smile, “This is Theodore. He is also one of the Twelve Apostles who is as famous as Jessica!”
lissa could not help but be startled when she heard that. She turned around and looked at Theodore again. Previously, when Vincent and Dave told her that the twelve apostles had the ability to evolve into demons, she was still in disbelief. Therefore, she did not expect to see a living demon at this ti!
However, at that mont, Theodore was trying his best to refute, “Don’t listen to him, I’m not Theodore! I’m a demon, I was born a demon, I was just accidentally caught by this guy!”
Dave could not help but look at Theodore and sneered, “Why do you still care about your reputation at this ti? When you abandoned the entire Elf Race and were willing to seize the Origin Divine Earth, why didn’t you think about your reputation then?”
After hearing Dave’s accusation and questions, Theodore imdiately shut his mouth. He acted as if he did not hear Dave’s words.
After seeing the scene, Vincent smiled and turned to lissa. He said, “Go and bring Caron here. I’ve already promised this demon that his life and death will be decided by all the residents of Serene Spring City!”
lissa recalled what Sophia had said to her before, and instantly thought of what Vincent was going to do. She nodded and said in a deep voice, “Okay, I’ll go and bring him here now!”
After watching lissa leave with her n, Vincent carried Theodore to the central square of Serene Spring City and jumped onto the high platform. He stood in front of everyone in the square.
After a while, lissa brought Caron to the center of the square.
Caron could not help but be shocked when he saw Vincent holding a living demon in his hand. He did not expect Vincent to be so powerful that he could even defeat demons. Of course, he also did not expect that he would actually be able to see a living demon once in his life!
As a veteran politician, Caron knew that as long as Vincent was around, he would not beco the City Lord of Serene Spring City. Therefore, he could only choose to go all out and see if he could save this demon from Vincent’s hands. When that ti ca, even if the Demon Race could not make him the City Lord of Serene Spring City, he might be able to use this demon’s relationship to beco the City Lord of other major cities.
“You foreign race, do you know what you’re doing? The demons are the source of the Dark Elves’ faith. You can’t insult our faith like this!”
Caron pointed at Vincent and roared loudly. He thought that his righteous words would attract the response of the surrounding residents. However, not only did the elves around him not agree with him, but they also even cast a strange look at him.
This was because Caron did not know that the residents of Serene Spring City no longer trusted the demons and were ready to worship Vincent as a god!
Vincent could not help but shake his head after hearing what Caron had said. He was very disappointed with Caron. He said in a deep voice, “Today, I brought this guy back to Serene Spring City so that everyone can decide his fate together. If more than half of the residents in Serene Spring City think that I should let this demon go, I can give him his freedom. But if more than half of them want him dead, I will kill him in public!”
After hearing what Vincent said, Caron’s eyes imdiately focused. After years of being shrewd, he understood that no words could be taken at face value. Therefore, he should analyze the true aning behind his words carefully.
lissa, who was supported by Vincent, had already taken over Serene Spring City. They wanted the residents of Serene Spring City to decide whether the demons deserved to live or die. Their purpose was nothing more than to strengthen the hatred of the elves of Serene Spring City toward the demons.
Once everyone decides to kill a demon collectively, all the Dark Elves in the city would be bound to Vincent and lissa. Once bounded, they would not be able to escape!
At that mont, Caron had to admit that Vincent was indeed a terrifying person. He did not only possess great strength, but he also had profound political wisdom!
However, Caron was still in disbelief. He did not believe that he could not win against Vincent with his own skills and strength. Therefore, he decided to seize the opportunity and cut off all ties with Vincent. He would do his best to protect the demons that were in Vincent’s hands!
“Vincent, please don’t ss around! The most important thing for the elves is their faith. Every Dark Elf present still has the aura of the Demon World in their bodies. This ans that everyone’s faith had not changed, and the Great God Gajero had not abandoned the residents here! Jessica and Darren did all kinds of bad deeds. It is impossible for them to be instructed by the lord of the Demon Race. As long as you let this demon go, I believe that he will treat every citizen of Serene Spring City well!” said Caron loudly and righteously. His words were filled with emotions. At the sa ti, they carried a great temptation. The surrounding residents of Serene Spring City could not help but fall into deep thought.
On the other hand, Theodore, who had fallen into despair, realized that he still had a chance to live. He could not help but respond, “Well said! I am an oracle from the Imperial City. The purpose of my trip is to solve the problem of Jessica and Darren who have massacred the common elves. My mission is to save the Dark Elves who are suffering here! However, I did not expect to fall into the trap of this foreign race. He even wanted to reverse the truth and make everyone hate the demons and the Great God, Gajero. I hope that everyone can wake up a little, and I also hope that everyone can face the power in your bodies. The demons and Dark Elves are a family that cannot be separated!”
After listening to Theodore’s wonderful speech, lissa could not help but raise her hand to cover her forehead. She really wanted Vincent to shut Theodore’s mouth. Otherwise, the citizens of the city might really be fooled by Theodore and Caron’s cooperation.
However, there was not the slightest bit of worry on Vincent’s face at this ti. Instead, he said indifferently, “Then everyone can start to express their opinions now. Should we kill this demon or not?”
Caron imdiately stepped forward and said righteously, “Absolutely not! If you dare to touch a demon in the land of the Dark Elves, you will face the fury of the entire Dark Elves Race. At that ti, you will not be tolerated by the entire world!”
Vincent looked at Caron, who was extrely eager to show off. He then turned to look at the others and asked, “Then what is everyone’s opinion?”
“I think we shouldn’t kill him. The demons didn’t make any mistakes!”
“What do you an they didn’t make any mistakes?”
“Didn’t the oracle explain it clearly just now? What Jessica and Darren did had nothing to do with the demons at all. So, not only did the demons not make any mistakes, but they were also misunderstood. Serene Spring City has let the demons down!”
“That’s right, we should let them go!”
So residents who were not firm in their stance began to express their positions in self-bla. They chose to stand on Caron’s side and shouted in unison, asking Vincent to let them go.
However, there were even more elves who chose to remain silent at that mont. This was because they could no longer differentiate between truth and falsehood. They could not even determine who was the good guy and who was the bad guy between Vincent and the demons. Therefore, they could only give up their choice in the midst of their struggle.
After seeing this, Vincent nodded and released Theodore in front of everyone.
Vincent said to Theodore in a deep voice, “I kept my promise. You can leave now! But I have to warn you, you are not allowed to set foot in Serene Spring City again in this lifeti!”
Theodore rolled his eyes as if he had discovered Vincent’s fatal weakness. He grinned with abnormal joy.
Theodore asked Vincent while sneering, “So what you care about is the opinion of the residents of Serene Spring City! You want the approval of the Dark Elves! Unfortunately, you shouldn’t have brought here. You should know that the Demon Race has ultimate control over Dark Elves so I can leave or stay as I please. Do you dare to kill in front of everyone?”
Vincent frowned as he seed to be caught in a dilemma. “I won’t kill you yet because I’m a man of my words. I’ll only kill you when more than half of the residents of Serene Spring City decide to do so!”
Theodore sneered with confidence, “Then I’m afraid you will not be able to wait for that day!”
