Chapter 291: Chapter 291: We’ll Talk About It On The Way

Yang Yu wasn’t worried in the slightest that Lotcar wouldn’t have anything to offer as a reward.

The reason Lotcar had fallen into such a state was certainly because he’d been harmed by some vile person.

Why was he harmed by vile people?

Either it was because he possessed a special identity, coveted by others who wanted to drag him down, or he knew too much, which led to a fatal disaster.

Based on the conversation just now, it was clear that Lotcar was the former, and held a not-so-low position within his race.

Fulfilling his goal would be a business deal with guaranteed profits.

The thing Yang Yu needed most was still Racial Essence.

The Fairy Racial Essence had raised his Level cap by fifteen, but this was still far from enough. In the All Things Library, brimming with Experience Bags, this Level would soon be reached.

After settling all his tasks, Yang Yu’s Level had already reached forty-six. Even without relying on the Library conference, as long as he had the Fairies concede one by one, leveling up for Yang Yu would be like riding on a rocket.

Finding the next Racial Essence was now of the utmost urgency.

The Silver Teeth Clan was one of the ancient Beastmen races, which logically, would also possess Racial Essence.

Naturally, Yang Yu would not miss this opportunity.

"To an adventurer, Strength is life. Honestly, what I want most is the Racial Essence of your Silver Teeth Clan.

If I can help you remove the Curse, I hope you can find a way to get some for me."

After closing his eyes and pondering for a moment, Lotcar finally said to Yang Yu:

"The Racial Essence you speak of, I am aware of it.

I, too, have once used Racial Essence and understand its crucial importance to a race’s future.

Even as the Clan Leader among our people, I cannot easily access the Racial Essence.

But..."

His eyes opened slowly, showing a different kind of determination. Lotcar stood up within the cage,

"However, if I can return to the tribe and expose that person’s conspiracy, I am willing to pay any price for the reward you desire."

His deep yet not-too-loud voice echoed by Yang Yu’s ears. A new task also popped up on his panel,

[Hidden Task: Lotcar’s Revenge.

The Silver Teeth are an ancient race, with many secrets hidden within their beings. Most of these have disappeared into the sands of history with the passage of generations, and their people have regressed to tribal living.

Lotcar was once a candidate for Clan Leader of the Silver Teeth, but due to various reasons, was framed and cursed.

Having no choice, he is now reduced to living under the roof of others, turned into a Demon controlled by a Monster Tamer.

Living in the Human World, a fire of revenge burns fiercely in Lotcar’s heart; he is waiting for the right person to come at the right time to take him back home.

Task requirements: Accompany Lotcar back to his tribe, lift his Curse, uncover the mastermind behind the scenes, and enable him to accomplish his revenge.

Reward: Experience ????, Gold Coins ????, Eleven Consecutive Draws (guaranteed Rare or above tools), Silver Teeth Clan Racial Essence, Title[Curse Breaker], Curse Resistance +10%]

Apart from the desired Racial Essence, an additional, potentially useful title was also included.

It was indeed a good task, and a satisfied smile spread across Yang Yu’s face.

"Deal. I will take you back to your tribe and help you with your revenge. I hope that when the time comes, you can fulfill your promise."

"Deal."

Lotcar made the promise, his gaze drifted towards Ying Luo handing over the documents to the guards.

Lotcar had waited far too long.

For so many years, not for a moment had he forgotten the person who had driven him to this plight, yearning to beat him to the ground.

He had long wanted to leverage the power of Humans.

Following Ying Luo to the All Things Library was also in the hopes of finding a powerful person to assist him.

But the world of Humans was far more complex than he had imagined.

Who to trust, who to keep at arm’s length, Lotcar was still learning to discern.

Unfortunately, just as Lotcar was beginning to see some clues, he heard the increasingly intense news of the war between Luo Ze Empire and Wansheng Country.

With the exception of the Dragon God Evaluation Country and the Ocean Duchy, Humans and Subhumans were at loggerheads across the rest of the Continent. Lotcar was uncertain whether revealing his true form would really bring aid, or if he would be treated as an experimental subject thrown on the dissecting table.

He couldn’t take that risk, couldn’t let years of effort go to waste.

Thus, Lotcar silently decided, unless it was someone truly trustworthy, he would never reveal his identity as part of the Silver Teeth Clan.

Now, Yang Yu had exposed him and knew that it was because of a Curse that he had become like this.

Lotcar realized that perhaps the opportunity he had been waiting for had truly arrived.

If he missed it now, he didn’t know how long he would have to wait for the next chance.

This was one of the reasons why Lotcar, without hearing much from Yang Yu, directly consented to engage in the transaction.

Following Lotcar’s gaze, Yang Yu curiously asked:

"Speaking of which, why do you guard Ying Luo like a guardian deity? Were you targeting to form a contract with her from the start?"

In Lotcar’s eyes, that weak and powerless girl had become so dependable.

"Who knows? Maybe it was just a momentary impulse, or maybe, indeed, I saw a glimmer of hope."

Lotcar’s mouth emitted a faint voice,

"I just thought she resembled someone I knew.

Back then, I was at a dead end and had to shamelessly rely on her.

To tell the whole story would take a very long time."

"It sounds like a hassle, so forget it."

Yang Yu yawned, looking nonchalant. In any case, he was bound to encounter the unfamiliar storyline along the journey, so there was no need to understand everything at once.

Lotcar was left speechless,

"Forget it. Now is not the time to discuss this. Ying Luo and your companion will be back soon.

If you truly wish to help me, there will be plenty of time to learn about my story.

After knowing my story, I believe you will be able to make a more accurate decision."

"On the way there, feel free to tell if you want. It seems it will take quite some time to reach Wansheng Country, so we might as well chat."

"For casual chatting..."

Take this seriously, how can I be reassured with your attitude?

Lotcar was speechless again and even regretted agreeing to Yang Yu’s help.

His seemingly unreliable attitude made Lotcar question whether he could truly help lift the Curse.

Lotcar didn’t know, but decided to follow Yang Yu nonetheless.

He had been with Ying Luo for far too long.

He was genuinely afraid, if he continued like this, he might never leave Ying Luo’s side and would come to treat her with the love of a real father.

So perhaps, it was time to part ways.
