352 We Meet Again

The new place was a small wooden house in the depths of the Elf Valley. It was a place left behind by the Elves of the past.

The natives had already moved to the new Elven town, and Su Ming gave the empty space to Count Ottle.

At this moment, there were four or five Elven guards outside the small wooden house, guarding Count Ottle.

Logically speaking, with Ottle’s strength, there was no need for him to send so many people here to guard Ottle.

After all, Count Ottle was not really strong.

However, unfortunately, this old fellow did not think about anything good from day to night. He only thought about how to escape.

After he switched to this place, he had already tried to escape many times.

Under normal circumstances, he would be discovered and captured before he could run a few hundred meters.

Su Ming could not be bothered to send people to capture him every time. He simply sent a few guards to keep an eye on him.

After Count Ottle was guarded, he protested against this situation a few times, but Su Ming could not be bothered with him.

Once Su Ming arrived outside the small wooden house, he could not be bothered to knock on the door. Instead, he pushed it open and walked in.

However, just as he pushed open the door and walked in, Count Ottle, who heard the commotion, hurriedly put away a piece of paper on his table.

He looked incredibly flustered. Once he put it away, he forced himself to look calm as he lifted his head to look in Su Ming’s direction.

Su Ming raised his eyebrows and pretended not to see it. Instead, he walked over.

“Count Ottle, we meet again.”

Count Ottle lifted his head and stared at Su Ming for a while. When he saw that there did not seem to be anything unusual about his expression, he let out a sigh of relief.

Then, he returned to his normal expression and snorted coldly. “If it’s possible, I’d rather never see you again.”

Count Ottle’s words naturally meant that he wanted to leave this place.

However, once Su Ming heard those words, he suddenly laughed softly and said, “I have a way to make sure you never see me again.”

Count Ottle was stunned for a moment, then he raised his head in confusion. “What is it?”

Su Ming stared at Count Ottle before him. When Count Ottle met Su Ming’s gaze, for some reason, he felt his scalp go numb.

“I’ll send you to meet Satan. This way, you won’t be able to see me ever again.”

When Ottle heard Su Ming’s words, he was first slightly stunned, then he shuddered and looked at Su Ming with shock and fear.

“You! What do you mean by that?”

“I… I’m warning you, don’t do anything rash! Otherwise, I’ll shout!”

Su Ming could not help but find it a little funny.

“Since you don’t want to see Satan, then don’t be stupid again.”

Count Ottle cast Su Ming a glance, and there was a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.

“Can you help me get rid of these guards at the door? These people keep looking at me, making me feel like a sinner.”

Su Ming cast him a glance. “Who gave you the illusion that you are not a sinner?”

…

After hearing this, Count Ottle fell into a long silence.

After a long while, he let out a long breath with a helpless expression on his face. He looked at Su Ming before him and said slowly, “Tell me, what is your purpose for coming to see me this time? I don’t believe that you just came to see me.”

Su Ming cast him a glance and said with a smile, “If you can always be so smart, you won’t have to suffer a lot.”

When he heard Su Ming’s words, the corners of Count Ottle’s lips twitched slightly.

“I…”

Su Ming did not bother with what Count Ottle wanted to say. Instead, after a moment of silence, he said, “Your Duke Lincoln has recently discovered the resource point.”

“Moreover, he has been probing the situation in the resource point recently. At the same time, he also has the intention to attack us.”

Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed across Count Ottle’s eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

Just when he thought that he had not revealed his emotions, a clear voice came from in front of him.

“You don’t have to think about going back. As long as my men are defeated at the front line, you will be the first to be killed by me.”

When he heard this, Count Ottle was first slightly stunned, then he lifted his head to look at Su Ming in slight fear.

During this period of time, he did not have much contact with Su Ming, but he had gained a rough understanding of his personality.

He knew very well that as long as Su Ming said something, no matter how difficult it was to fulfill it, he would do it!

Thinking of this, Count Ottle could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and reveal a smile that was uglier than crying. “Lord Prophet, you… you must be joking, right?”

Su Ming smiled as well. “You can try and see if I’m joking.”

Count Ottle instantly shuddered. He looked at Su Ming before him and hesitated for a moment before he finally said, “Then what is your purpose?”

“I’ve been locked up in this place for so long. I don’t know much about the outside world, and the help I can give you is limited.”

Su Ming smiled. “But at the very least, you should to be useful.”

“Otherwise, I’ll have to consider whether I should raise a useless cripple in my Elf Valley.”

When he heard Su Ming’s words, the fear on Count Ottle’s face became even greater.

As if he was fighting with himself in his heart, Count Ottle finally raised his head again.

“If you want to know anything, just ask. I promise, as long as it’s something I know, I’ll definitely tell you everything.”

“But you must promise me that after I answer these questions, you must spare my life!”

...

Su Ming stared at Count Ottle for a while before he nodded slightly.

“I can agree to your conditions.”

After a slight pause, Su Ming stared at Count Ottle before him and asked his first question.

“About Duke Lincoln, how long has it been since he led an army to battle?”

Hearing this question, Ottle was slightly stunned at first, then he frowned and thought for a while.

“About five years.”

Su Ming nodded. No change could be seen on his face as he continued,

“The second question. When he led troops to war in the past, did he have any distinctive personal style or habits?”

“Just tell me anything that comes to your mind.”
