Novel Full Chapter 72 A Test
“So fast?”
Legolas was surprised at first on being asked before he soon remembered that he was the only NPC with a virtual interface, he improvised with an excuse on the spot. “Yes, I made preparations before now”.
“One of my beast pets is good at recording, he recorded it”.
“Oh, as expected of the great master”.
As Master Dan and Prince Christensen focused on praising his feat, Legolas put his attention back on their current situation. Apart from Christensen’s goal, his main motivation for taking this risk was for benefits.
If he could get only the Beast Integration Summoner knowledge, then this risk was well worth it already, every other gain would be bonus.
Despite the benefits, to survive, he needed to calculate accurately.
‘With the Enhanced Leadership, my control over Predator and the others would increase by at least 80%. Akela’s leadership over the wolves will also increase which will yield a great increase in my effective combat strength’.
‘In our present situation, I approximate an increase of 20%’.
Considering the benefits that were up for grabs, an increase of 20% in his effective combat strength gave him the courage to go through with his plan.
A 20% increase due to just 1 class knowledge was pretty ridiculous, but this was the difference between intermediate and basic summoner knowledges.
Legolas turned to face Master Dan. “How can I access the exclusive library of the psychopaths of the Clown Society?”
Master Dan sighed with a deflated shoulder. “Great master, I don’t advise that, their exclusive library is one of the most defended locations in the palace”.
“I heard that it’s where all their higher-ups stay”.
Legolas was determined to get his hands on the Beast Integration knowledge, but he would not commit suicide to achieve his goal. If Master Dan so vehemently opposed it, he was obliged to lessen his stance on his goal.
“Then, if we can’t access their exclusive library, we need your help to access the prince’s room”.
Master Dan turned to face Christensen who explained through gritted teeth. “I forgot the necklace that my mom gave to me, I just could not live with the fact of parting with it, it will serve as my motivation to grow stronger”.
“Ok, I will help you”.
…
2 minutes later, Master Dan came back with the 2 suppliers that he previously left with. “They’re innocent”. He announced haughtily.
“It was a misjudgment on my part”.
Instead of getting annoyed at him, the leader of the supply group instead heaved a deep sigh of relief on hearing that. “Thank you master, I’m relieved to hear that, so can we offload the goods now?”
“Yes, you can”.
“Thank you master”.
As the suppliers worked on offloading the supplies, Master Dan’s 2 apprentices who disguised as suppliers also joined in the work while Legolas and Christensen already took a back road deep inside the palace.
A few minutes later, all the supplies were offloaded.
“It was nice doing business with you, see you later”. The leader of the supply group bade his farewell to the masters with a wide smile on his face.
The supply group left not long after on their Earth Horses.
…
Despite it not being long since the takeover, both Queens of the Palm Island already made significant changes to the layout of the palace.
Christensen needed Master Dan’s map to navigate through his own home.
Navigation was hard though, after the takeover, perhaps to guard against scenarios like when their parents were killed, security increased in the palace.
To get to Christensen’s room, they had to climb in through the fire vent at the ceiling. To do this, they did not have to go outside, they simply scaled through the stairs without being caught to the highest level of the palace.
There, they entered the roof through the ceiling.
To their shock, there were guards also in the roof.

You have activated active ability: Combat Master

Legolas pounced on them before they could ring the alarm.
After bringing down the 4 guards in quick succession, he urged Christensen. “We need to move fast, it won’t take long before we are discovered”.
Legolas sprinted as he led Christensen through the maze-like structure of the roof until they arrived at the vent that led straight to Christensen’s room.
Legolas cut the corners of the vent with his dagger before entering, Christensen followed soon after as they made their way into the room.
Thud! Thud!
As soon as they landed, Christensen looked around in a daze. “Nothing changed…, it’s still my room”.
Bam!
Legolas smacked him on the head. “Reminisce later, find the necklace now!”
“Ahh…, yes, sorry boss”.
Christensen barely started walking before a click reverberated from the door, the doorknob twisted slightly then it opened to reveal a familiar face.
“Bianca…?!”
“What a surprise!” The intruder clapped her hands, showing genuine surprise. “And what is my foolish little brother doing here? Looking for this?”
As she raised her hands up, Legolas’s eyes narrowed. ‘Bianca, the Frost Artist’. At this moment, she looked nothing like her menacing self in the future.𝒐𝚟𝐞𝓵xt.𝑐𝑶𝚖
Bianca was a pale-skin beautiful young lady with light blue hair, light blue eyebrows, and light blue lips. She had an innocent demeanor, but knowing her, Legolas knew that this was all a façade.
“H-how did you know that I was here?” Christensen stammered.
“Foolish brother, you never change, I guessed”. She tsked her tongue in a teasing tone before finally turning to face Legolas. “And what do we have here? Are the rumors true? You actually got a friend…”
“Don’t disrespect my master!”
“Oh…!
A lot of things went through Legolas’s mind in an instant as all this transpired, then he made a decision. “Change of plans Christensen”.
“Get your necklace, I’ll go get the Chefron”.
Almost at the same time that he spoke, Legolas retrieved his G-96 automatic pistols as he aimed at the blue little demon before pulling the trigger.
Bianca dodged right on time, also activating her Ice Elementalist barrier as a second fool-proof plan before the bullets left the muzzle.
Legolas did not intend to kill her though, he charged through the now open door outside straight towards the location of the palace pool.
“Oh…, he left you? Funny…”
“Shut up!” Christensen clenched his fists.
Unlike before, Christensen grew to have respect and reverence for someone other than himself for the first time. He did not see Legolas’s actions as abandoning him at this moment, he rather saw it as a test.
He soon remembered Legolas’s words. ‘To learn under me, the first step is for you to overcome your fears’.
“Ahhh!” Christensen charged towards his sister.
