Grand Lust Sovereign-Chapter 132: Vivvye Kalrex

The young elf was tailed for the next few days.

His routine was monotonous and simple, consisting of going on patrols, listening to music, and eating as much as he possibly could and taking a nap after doing so.

If Julien hadn't used his appraisal skill, he wouldn't have known that this was an elf due to how average he seemed.

There were times when the elf had to fight during his patrol. Julien was able to assess his strength when he did that and found him to be decent.

He was neither too strong nor too weak. If Julien and Jackie worked together, they could easily capture.

This was what they ended up doing at last.

They captured the point and brought them to their residence within the city.

The boy looked around in disarray as if he had seen a ghost. Disbelief was all over his face as he stayed strapped to a chair within the residence.

Julien sat opposite to him, wearing a mask to protect his identity.

"Who are you? Why did you kidnap me?" The boy asked with knitted brows.

"Why do you think you were kidnapped?" Julien asked back instead of answering.

The boy Vivvye shook his head and said with a worried look, "I do not have any ransom money to give to you, sir. My family is also very poor. I'm barely making ends meet by working as a soldier. Please be merciful and release me."

With how fluently and sadly Vivvye said it, Julien almost believed it.

His act did not seem the slightest bit unnatural, Julien had to give it to him.

"Vivvye Kalrex." Julien said out loud, making the boy's heart leap in fright.

He almost jumped in his seat from terror, but quickly managed to compose himself and stayed calm.

He did not respond to the words Julien had just said.

"Is that not your name, Vivvye?" Julien repeated.

"My name?" Vivvye feigned ignorance. "Sir, my name is Anthony Mathews and I've never once heard someone say that name before."

'This bastard is really good at acting.' Julien thought to himself.

Julien knitted his brows and leaned towards, staring into Vivvye's calm eyes.

"Vivvye, I'll give you one chance, and one only. If you do not speak up, you'll be buried under this very residence. And if you do cooperate, there will be a lot of benefits for you."

"Sir, I do not—"

"Jackie, get me that monster." Julien cut Vivvye off and said.

Jackie entered the room holding a small cage. Within it was a rabbit-like monster with sharp fangs and short ears.

"Do you see that monster? It's a low level one, but has super high regeneration. Any wound you make on it, it'll heal almost instantly. Do you want to see a demonstration?" Julien explained to Vivvye.

He pulled out a dagger and cut the rabbit-like monster a few times from outside the cage.

The monster thrashed about and squealed.

Vivvye could see clear wounds on the rabbit's body inflicted by Julien, but they disappeared within a few seconds.

Being an elf, a species close to nature, Vivvye naturally knew what type of monster this was.

He wasn't surprised by the high regeneration abilities. He had seen more evolved versions of this monster back at home.

Julien eyed Vivvye and continued, "Now, see this. I'll use a bit of power from my Arcana Card. See what happens to this rabbit."

Julien activated Crimson Requiem for a split second and slashed the rabbit, creating a superficial wound that could be healed very easily.

The rabbit didn't even feel pain from it.

Vivvye knew such types of attacks meant nothing to this monster.

To kill it, one would need to sever its head from its body or smash the whole body like crushing a mosquito.

Much to Vivvye's dismay and shock, the wound of the rabbit did not close up.

The rabbit felt nothing from the small cut and calmly stayed within the cage.

However, it began bleeding.

The bleeding did not stop for even a second, and in less than a minute, the monster died from excess blood loss.

The blood did not stop oozing even in its death. Only when the entire body was drained of it did it stop.

Vivvye was horrified by the scene.

His body trembled as a sense of danger loomed all over him.

"Will you speak now? Or do you wish to die?" Julien wasn't merciful and threatened.

"I'll speak." Vivvye did not deny the claims anymore.

"Good. I'm listening." Julien sat down on the chair and heard Vivvye out.

The young elf was on a mission in this continent.

Not just him, there was a big network of elves all over the continent.

He was the one sent to Aurelian Theocracy to spy on them, and it had been a few years.

He wasn't particularly strong or powerful so as to appear harmless to the people.

It had been a few months since he was drafted in the war, and the spying operations were thus on hold.

The elves were in the Varethis continent which was north of Kalindor where humans lived.

Varethis had amazing climate conditions and the elves did not need anything more.

The only reason they sent spies to Kalindor was to see what the humans were doing, and to get inspiration to do newer things.

Julien felt something amiss from Vivvye's words.

This guy said everything so fluently, and from his words, it looked like the world was quite peaceful.

However, from his words itself, Julien was able to deduce a few things.

First things first. The humans have not come in contact with the elves yet. It seems that the elves were the first to find the humans, evident from the spies they had sent.

Secondly, Julien was unsure whether the humans really didn't know the existence of elves or whether they knew, but never dared to venture out to Varethis to see them.

Lastly, this world has elves and other species, but why were they not seen in the Tower?

The Tower was a common place for everyone around the world.

There should be portals leading to it, shouldn't there?

Why were the elves not there?

Something was really suspicious.

"Tell me about the kingdom you belong to, the politics of the elven world and so on." Julien commanded.

The boy shook his head. "If I speak more than I'm required to, I will die, sir. There is a spell casted on me that would stop my heart the moment I say something I'm not supposed to. I do not want to take such a risk. Please understand."

The boy would die either way, so he tried to reason with Julien as much as he could.

He was polite about it as well, which surprised Julien.

"So… how do you get to Varethis? Surely that isn't a secret, is it?"

Vivvye shook his head again. "I'm afraid it is."

It seemed that a lot of measures were taken against these spies. They could not divulge secrets about the elven continent even if they wanted to.

Julien squinted his eyes and replied, "If you cannot tell, then you'll show. You'll take us to Varethis and show us the way."

Vivvye raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Are you sure? I don't mind taking you to Varethis."

Now, Julien wasn't the brightest but he also wasn't as stupid. His intelligence points were high, so he did have good logical reasoning.

When Vivvye said he could take him to that continent without hesitation, it felt off.

There was almost a hundred percent possibility of him getting ambushed and killed if he tried that.

Julien wasn't going to take such a mighty risk and play with his life.

Vivvye thought he was smart for suggesting such a thing, but his cheerful expression made Julien frown and think again.

Honestly, this conversation with Vivvye felt off. How and why, Julien couldn't tell. It just did.

Talking some more with this guy, Julien really couldn't find any faults.

The boy seemed like a normal spy with a worthless life.

He was sure that if he killed him, there would be no consequences or retaliation from the elves, which once again bothered him some.

Julien felt a headache conversing with Vivvye. He left the boy and went to take some rest.

When he was back after his afternoon nap, he focused on Vivvye again.

The talking lasted for a whole day but even till the end, it seemed that Vivvye was actually a common spy, nothing special.

Having gotten an answer and knowing there was nothing more he could extract, Julien pointed at Vivvye and gestured to Jackie to kill him.

It was at this point that Vivvye realized things had been quite serious.

If he died, nobody would care. He was but a common spy and his life had no meaning whatsoever.

'Is this how it's going to end for me? All those years I've served the kingdom… and this is how my life comes to an end?'
