Chapter 593: Squad Members, Meeting Acquaintances
“Vincent, you’re finally here!”
Charlie turned around excitedly and walked out of the door. He was prepared for countless grievances and was prepared to complain to Vincent.
However, when Charlie walked to the front door, he could not help but freeze on the spot. This was because Vincent, who was walking toward him had undergone an earth-shattering change in his temperament.
Vincent was still accompanied by Kurt and was wearing the same clothes as before. Even his walking pace had not changed.
However, Charlie was still able to see the new characteristics of a true expert from Vincent. He was approachable and mysterious. Although Vincent looked as if he was standing right in front of him, upon closer inspection, he found that he was far away on the horizon. Moreover, there was an imposing aura between his brows that made others fear him!
Charlie sighed in surprise, “You, how did you become like this?”
Vincent smiled and patted Charlie’s shoulder. He said with an indifferent expression, “It’s nothing. I just happened to come across an opportunity, so I am a little late. I wonder how the team you helped me gather is doing. Can we set off immediately?”
The corner of Charlie’s mouth could not help but twitch. He had worked at the Inn for hundreds of years but he had never heard of any opportunity that could result in such a drastic change in just a few days. However, he also understood that Vincent would not spill his secret, so he did not continue to dwell on the matter.
Charlie said confidently, “Originally, I gathered a full team of 20 wanderers for you, but because you were late, most of them had left as they were impatient. But please rest assured, the remaining five wanderers are experts among experts. They are also the core members of the team that I prepared for you this time. They will be your most capable assistants in this mission!”
When Vincent heard that there were only five wanderers left, he felt a little disappointed. However, he soon smiled and said, “Since there are only five wanderers left, then we can only make do with it! Fortunately, I have also found two very strong helpers within these two days. They can join us!”
Vincent then turned his head and looked at the street behind him.
Charlie followed Vincent’s gaze and looked at the street not far away. In an instant, he saw two figures walking side by side.
One was a handsome old man with a dignified temperament.
The other was a cold and beautiful girl.
Charlie looked away with a slightly puzzled look. He then looked at Vincent again. He smiled and sighed, “Before this, I thought that I was ignorant because I have never heard of the Human Race that you belong to. I now realized that it was just an excuse for you to deliberately hide your identity! You are actually a vampire because your temperament is very obvious. Moreover, you have invited the elders of your race for this mission so it’s impossible for you to hide your identity from me!”
Vincent could not help but cough twice. He had just experienced the first baptism in the blood pool. Although he retained all the characteristics of a human, the characteristics of the vampires were more prominent, which caused Charlie to misunderstand.
However, this was also a very good disguise for Vincent, so he did not explain to Charlie any further. Instead, he whispered, “I hope that you won’t tell anyone about my relationship with the vampires for now! The other girl is also a member of my vampires, but her talent is a little special. She was born with a strange vision. I also hope that you can help me to remind the other members of the team not to make wild guesses, and not to show it in front of her!”
Charlie could not help but look at the girl who had a cold and noble temperament but was still charming. He quickly nodded and said, “Please rest assured. The members participating in this mission are all senior wanderers, and they all know the rules very well. They are traveling with you this time, and they can be considered as one of the managers of the mission. They will never inquire about the identity of another manager. This is a rule that every wanderer must abide by!”
Vincent nodded and said softly, “Then I’m relieved. Now, take me to meet the members of the team!”
Charlie grabbed Vincent’s hand and walked into the hall. He led him to the front of the five wanderers.
“Let me introduce the two important figures to you first. This is the Berserker, Charlotte, and this is Richard of the Wood Spirit Race. They are the distinguished elders of our Wanderers Association, and they are…”
Charlie first introduced the two most important figures to Vincent because he believed that the identity and strength of these two figures were enough to represent the value of the entire team.
When Vincent saw the team members in front of him, he could not help but reveal a surprised expression. He interrupted Charlie’s introduction, smiled, and said, “With the two venerables personally helping us, I think this mission will be a success!”
Charlie could not help but be startled and asked in surprise, “You know them?”
Vincent nodded and said to Charlotte and Richard with a smile, “I didn’t expect that our previous agreement could be fulfilled so quickly!”
Charlotte and Richard smiled happily. They nodded and said, “We also didn’t expect that the person who made us wait for so long was you! At first, we were wondering who was so bold to not show up after so long. But when we thought of our encounter a few days ago and how you can still stand here in one piece, we cannot help but admire you!”
Vincent, who was still holding the dragon egg in his hand, said with a smile, “I said that as long as the dragon egg is in my hands, I’m not afraid of Randall making things difficult for me! And the facts have proved that what I said is correct!”
Charlotte nodded in agreement and said, “I’m looking forward to this mission more and more!”
Vincent said with confidence, “Don’t worry, I guarantee that this trip will not be in vain!”
After exchanging greetings with Charlotte and Richard, Charlie brought Vincent to the third member of the team. He introduced him, “This is Boris, a descendant of the Titan Race. He is a very versatile exploration expert. He can help you find all the ruins that have been buried by the dust of history. I guarantee that you will gain something from this trip with him around!”
Vincent frowned slightly as he looked at Boris. He immediately took two steps back and sized him up carefully. Then, he smiled and said, “This is also an old friend. I didn’t expect that everyone would meet here today!”
Boris looked at the dragon egg in Vincent’s hand and said seriously, “I’m sorry, sir! It’s my first time meeting you today. I think you might have mistaken me for someone else!”
“Don’t worry, my eyesight is very good. There’s no way I could have mistaken you for someone else!” said Vincent with certainty.
This was because he recognized Boris’s tall and sturdy figure at a glance.. He was the Dragon Race material merchant who had sold him the dragon egg in the trading market!
