I Am Stuck In A Beta Test For 1000 Years Novel - Chapter 17

Chapter 17. The Most Dazzling Strategy in History

Evelyn knew that she would not be able to live past today. First, she had endured the ravages of the Soul Sucking Monsters for so long. Then, she had used all her HP to maintain the Blood Shield. She was injured by the Demonic Beast Soldiers as well. In addition to the backlash from the contract, she had almost all the debuffs of her attributes.

She wanted to know an answer before she died.

“How is Lucius?” She asked.

Lucius was her only friend and female lover when she was still in Andaheim (The Dark Elves’ Underground Kingdom). Behind every sadist, there was a masochist who was silently enduring it.

Lucius was the masochist.

At the same time, it was also Lucius who encouraged her to fight against her fate and the Night Lord, Svartalfheim.

When Evelyn’s arms and legs were broken, and she was locked up, it was the help of Lucius that kept her alive until Zin’rokh responded to her plea.

Later, she broke out of prison and was hunted down by Svartalfheim. Lucius was the only one who helped her escape, and in the end, Lucius was dragged back by the guards.

According to the Dark Elf laws, she would have died a horrible death. In her eyes, Lucius was already dead, so she had never told anyone about it.

However, the name of Lucius had appeared in the mouth of a Half-elf. There was only one possibility…

He had met Lucius before, or perhaps he knew where she was!

At this point, the Dark Elf was calmer than ever. She tried her best to guess what Char wanted in exchange for an answer.

“I can tell you the location of the monster nests nearby, as well as the monster’s hidden spots I’ve hidden in various villages and towns in the name of the Dark Brotherhood, as long as you tell me the whereabouts of Lucius.”

“But I’m not interested in those things.”

“Then what are you interested in? Are you interested in me?” Evelyn sneered. If your female companion doesn’t mind, we can do it here.”

“I’m not interested in the current you. I still prefer the Evelyn who runs in the forest during the day.” Char sighed.

“what the .... are you talking about?” Evelyn frowned.

Char made her feel disgusted, and she had never run in the forest while bathing in the morning light.

How laughable. How could a filthy Dark Elf be fit to be in such a sacred place?

“There will be a chance.” Char laughed. “Back to the topic. Do you still have enough mana to summon a Greevil? ”

“I can, but why?”

“Do as I say.”

“And then you’ll tell me the whereabouts of Lucius? ”

“Yes.”

The Dark Elf thought that this was impossible, but she still held on to hope.

Even if Char was lying to her, she could still die with a smile when she heard good news before she died.

Lucius was the last barrier between her and the abyss.

“Alright, I’ll do as you say.”

The stubbornness in the Dark Elf’s eyes softened, and the fire of hope was gradually ignited.

Char pouted.

Although he had repeated it many times, the longing in her eyes still made him sigh.

This character was much sadder than the NPCs in the novice village.

Lucius was indeed alive, and not only was she alive, but she had also become the Queen of Andaheim.

Lucius was actually a b*tch…

From the very beginning, she had been coveting to become the Queen of Andaheim. Thus, she tried her best to get close to Evelyn, encouraging and instigating her to rebel against the Night Lord.

However, instead of dying, she became a believer of Zin’rokh. She hurriedly planned a prison break and let her go.

Instead of being punished after being captured, Lucius replaced Evelyn as a candidate to be offered to the Night Lord.

In the end, the woman miraculously survived and became the Queen of Andaheim.

A year later, when she learned that Evelyn was still alive, she would disguise her identity and approach Evelyn in an attempt to assassinate her.

She knew that the Night Lord desired Evelyn the most, and the other characters were just background characters. However, she resisted the Night Lord and chose to believe in Zin’rokh at the last moment.

Although the Night Lord was strong, in front of the Destroyers of Worlds, he was nothing.

If Svartalfheim knew what she had done, he would definitely kill her.

Thus, Lucius tried to silence Evelyn at all costs.

However, Evelyn did not know any of this.

In her mind, Lucius was still the incarnation of the angel, the only thing left in the world that was true, kind, and beautiful. It was also the last barrier that prevented Evelyn from completely falling into the abyss.

Just as Char was sighing, Evelyn summoned a level 20 Greevil.

This monster looked like a moving pitcher plant. Its teeth were fine and dense, and a pair of small fleshy wings spread out on its back. As soon as it was summoned, it bit the air madly, but it was controlled by Evelyn.

“Is that enough?”

Char nodded. “Don’t move yet. Summon another Magic Sucking Eel and a Blood Leech.”

“You… Sigh, alright.”

Evelyn furrowed, but she gave in to Char’s unquestionable gaze.

Char was trying to get her to summon some low-level monsters that would not consume much mana, but she was the one who could not hold on much longer.

She sighed and felt like a clown. She could only continue her performance helplessly.

A twisted and entangled Magic Sucking Eel and a Blood Leech that was even more twisted than the it appeared.

“Let the Greevil eat them.”

Evelyn did as he was told.

The Greevil’s stomach took up 70% of its body. The Blood Leech and the Magic Sucking Eel were crazily biting and twisting in its stomach, and Greevil was rolling on the ground in pain.

“Start a fire.”

Bang!

“And then…”

Char quickly explained another four to five steps to Evelyn. Gradually, the impatience in Evelyn’s eyes disappeared. She vaguely realized that Char seemed to be going through some complicated alchemy experiment.

Everything was ready. The Greevil, who had eaten a stomach full of demons, was like a drunkard, with his tongue hanging out.

It was held in the mouth of the devil vine, the Greevil did not about it. The devil vine was also soaked in the boiling evil blood and did not know its own situation.

Bang!

Char snapped his fingers as if he had just completed a major project.

“Finally, drop a drop of blood into the mouth of the Greevil. Your blood.”

Evelyn did as he was told.

Then, he stared at the Greevil.

Even though Char seemed to be playing with her, it was better to witness such an interesting experiment at the last moment of her life than to die at the hands of a Soul Sucking Monster.

The dark purple blood dripped in, and as if some balance was broken, the delicate building blocks collapsed.

The Greevil’s stomach suddenly expanded. The devil vine immediately opened its mouth wide and swallowed the Greevil.

Bang!

The Greevil exploded in its mouth with a muffled sound. However, it was restrained, and not a single drop of blood spilled out.

The devil vine was severely injured by the explosion. The surface of its body cracked open, and dark green liquid mixed with thick black juice oozed out of its body, flowing into the boiling evil blood.

Under the distillation of the flame, the mixture quickly condensed, as if some kind of suction force had been born, sucking away the essence of all the substances in it, and finally fusing into a pool of sticky substance the size of a fist.

“Here. Drink this,” Char said.

Evelyn frowned and forced herself to drink it.

She could not live on anyway.

A few seconds after she finished drinking, her eyes suddenly widened!

She looked at Char in a daze.

“How did you do it?”

“It’s a secret,”

Char chuckled.

At the same time, a system notification popped up.

[Evelyn’s favorability toward you has increased by 75000 points, from hate to neutral.]
