Chapter 192: Silas the Flatterer Beast

Looking at the two people deep in thought, Tess said guiltily, "I don't know what this means; this is what they told me. I felt at the time that their thinking was somewhat problematic, so I didn't continue to ask."

"Cursing the bloodline of the entire Guinness family through Jean, then cursing the entire land of the Kingdom of Guinness through this bloodline, and then cursing the people here through the land, turning this place into the homeland of werewolves… They definitely wouldn't go to such great lengths just to get a werewolf den…"

Thinking of this, Silas suddenly remembered Vanas's talent for smelling the aura of death and the legend of the entire Kingdom of Guinness being called the homeland of the God of Death.

"Could it be that their werewolves are just a means, and their real purpose is to glimpse a corner of the God of Death's power?"

Tess, as an ordinary person, knew very little. Afterward, Elaina asked him some more questions, but he knew nothing about them.

Elaina, angered, grabbed Silas's staff and struck him again, directly knocking him unconscious.

The following time was relatively peaceful. Both seemed to have their own concerns and were thinking quietly.

An hour later, accompanied by the cheers of the coachmen, Silas regained his senses and turned to look, only then realizing they had already driven through the gates of Guiying City.

"Don't we need to be inspected to enter the city?" Silas asked curiously, looking at the wide city gate tower.

Elaina shook her head. "The city is so large. If you want to get in, you can get in somehow. There's no point in inspecting here. Just make sure no large-scale firearms are carried; these things are easy to check."

Silas nodded with understanding. Through the window, he could see many soldiers in neat black military uniforms, fully armed. They looked alert, their eyes and ears scanning in all directions, but they weren't too concerned about the carriages in front of them.

After entering the city, Elaina got up, took out a hood, and put it over Tess's head. "Let's go. We're back on our own turf; someone will meet us."

Silas nodded, casually put on his black top hat, picked up his staff, and walked out.

After bidding farewell to the coachmen, Silas retrieved his backpack hidden among the cargo.

When Silas, having retrieved his luggage, turned his head, he happened to see Elaina, carrying Tess who looked like a corpse, talking to a sturdy, one-eyed military man.

Coincidentally, the two seemed to be discussing Silas. The one-eyed military man turned his head and, with severe vigilance, carefully sized Silas up.

After seeing Silas's pale face, somewhat listless spirit, and thin build, his vigilance lessened slightly. He nodded at Elaina.

Here, Elaina waved at Silas, signaling him to come over.

"No wonder she could hold on for so long. It seems Vanas still has a group of loyal and dedicated subordinates."

Silas thought as he walked over, removed his hat, and gave a standard salute. "Hello, sir."

After approaching, the officer felt Silas's scholarly aura become even stronger. He turned to Elaina and said forcefully, "Keep a close eye on him. If anything goes wrong, I'll hold you responsible!"

Elaina smiled. "Don't worry, old Green!"

"It's Deputy Commander Green!" the one-eyed officer emphasized in a low voice.

It was clear that the relationship between the two was still very good.

Afterward, there was nothing more for Silas to do. A black, four-wheeled carriage covered in bullet marks pulled up. After the two got on, a soldier drove the carriage along the bumpy, potholed streets towards the royal palace located in the southeastern part of Guiying City.

In the carriage, Elaina said with a serious expression, "You should feel honored and excited because you are about to meet the most outstanding queen on the entire continent. Please show your utmost respect, your highest etiquette, and with honor and glory, go to pay respects to the pearl of the entire Northern Kingdom."

Hearing this, Silas immediately recalled his last meeting with Vanas and thought to himself, "Vanas must have had such complicated feelings at that time, right!?"

"Hey! What are you thinking! Did you remember what I just said?" Elaina raised her voice to remind him.

Silas regained his senses and smiled. "I heard. The Flower of Guinness, the Pearl of the Northern Kingdom, the Queen's beauty has long been famous in our northeastern province. To be able to meet Her Majesty in person this year, my heart is pounding with excitement. It's just that I am a gentleman and cannot show such a loss of composure."

Elaina was very satisfied upon hearing this, patted Silas's shoulder with a smile, and said, "Not bad, I knew you were a good gentleman who understands etiquette."

"Thank you for your praise, beautiful lady. Then, beautiful and powerful Elaina, can you tell me your identity now?" Silas, following her words, slightly lowered his head and asked respectfully.

Elaina was very happy upon hearing this, a hint of pride on her face, and said loudly, "Since you asked so sincerely, and your etiquette is so impeccable, I'll tell you!"

"I am Her Majesty the Queen's good sister, and also her personal guard and advisor. I am also considered her semi-mystical teacher. I have been protecting and educating her for many years," Elaina said, her face full of pride and arrogance, her hands on her hips, her chin held high, like a haughty peacock.

Silas sighed in his heart, "No wonder Vanas knows nothing about mysticism. So, her teacher is you!"

Although he knew the truth, Silas certainly wouldn't say it out loud, especially since Elaina's expression clearly read, "Quick, praise me, quick, flatter me!"

If Silas just kept silent, this somewhat contrarian/argumentative demoness would definitely not let him off.

So, Silas slightly mobilized Randall's practical and profound knowledge and said seriously, "No wonder the Queen possesses such a strong will in adversity. It turns out you have been secretly helping her all along! I can feel that to the Queen, you are like her older sister, guiding her, protecting her, acting as her sun, letting her see the beauty of hope, while you yourself bear the darkness alone, secretly guarding her beauty and hope. You are simply like a dragon guarding the Northern Continent, protecting the imperial palace, preventing those dark mystics from attacking the Queen. You are like the holy light of the Western Continent..."

At this moment, Silas's expression was sincere, his tone earnest and serious, as if all this was something he had personally experienced.

Silas the Flatterer Beast, evolution complete!

"Haha! Haha! You really understand me!" Perhaps Silas had overdone the praise a bit. Elaina was very embarrassed and, somewhat awkwardly, threw her arms around Silas's shoulders, laughing heartily.

The soldier driving the carriage ahead turned his head slightly, looked at Silas with a "confused black man" expression, and then blinked at Elaina very embarrassedly.

It was as if he was saying, "Big sister, can we have some dignity?"

"Cough, cough, cough!" Elaina coughed awkwardly and immediately said with a serious expression, "Drive the carriage properly, soldier! The witness we brought has clues related to the prince; there can be no delay!"

The soldier, upon hearing this, curled his lip, turned his head, and muttered in a low voice, "What kind of gentleman is this kid? He's simply a sycophant…"
