Starting With 3 S-Class Talents

The three of them passed through Crystal City under the guidance of the drone. They travelled to the deepest part of the city. Finally, they arrived in front of a palace that was made of blue crystal.

“Distinguished guests from the other races, the diplomat is waiting for you in the largest room on the first floor. Please go in!”

After the drone played a sound, it flew away.

Vincent and the others looked at each other and walked into the palace together.

What was surprising was that the entire palace was empty. There was no sign of life at all. This made them suspect that the Esville Race had set up a trap in the surroundings.

Suddenly, the door in front of the three of them opened. There was a voice coming from inside.

“Come in!”

Vincent turned to give Angelina and Avril a look. He wanted them to be careful. He then took the lead to enter.

The room was very big, but there were no tables or chairs. It did not look like an office at all. The only difference was that there was a huge crystal pillar in the middle of the room, and there was a ball of light inside. It was emitting a faint golden light and looked unique.

“Where are they? Are they playing us again?” asked Avril. She frowned. She was so hot-tempered that she had already pulled out the big knife from her back.

Vincent raised his hand to stop Avril. His eyes kept sizing up the light in the crystal pillar.

“Have you noticed that this light is flickering? It looks like a life form.” said Vincent with a doubtful look.

Angelina and Avril looked at each other and shook their heads.

Vincent still maintained his opinion. He walked forward, raised his hand, and knocked on the pillar twice.

“Please stop! I am the diplomat of Esville, Sibisluka! Please maintain your due respect!”

All of a sudden, the luminous body shook, and a panicked voice sounded in the room.

Vincent immediately stopped moving and looked at the body of light. He was surprised.

“It really is you! You only exist in this form. Is it a stream of consciousness? Or is it a purely spiritual body?”

“The Esville Race are all highly evolved beings. The spirit is the only carrier of our will. This is what every member of the Esville Race has in common, and it is also the final form of the evolution of life!”

The glowing body trembled again. The room was soon filled with empty voices. Their tone was filled with pride and confidence.

Vincent sighed, “So this is the common form of all the members of the Esville Race. Then how did you develop your technology?”

The glowing body said, “When you get rid of the shackles of your physical body and exist solely in your mental state, you will then know how terrifying the mind can be! All of our ideas can be quickly modeled and simulated in the mind. We can then find the best solution quickly! That is why our technology is able to develop at a high speed!”

Vincent nodded, not fully understanding it. He looked at the crystal floor under his feet and said, “So you are using crystals to build a city not for luxury, but to be able to better transmit your thought flow?”

“That’s right! In order for us to think faster, naturally, we have to be equipped with the best information transmission system. That’s why when you appeared, we were able to immediately analyze your body structure, common language, and habits!”

Vincent finally understood. It was not because the Esville Race was confident in their ability to defend the fortress, but because they could not leave. Otherwise, their gains in information and control of the fortress would be greatly reduced.

At the same time, the Esville Race had a unique advantage, and that was their spiritual body state.

According to Vincent’s experience, spiritual bodies would not be regarded as life by the Black Hole monsters, so these pure spiritual bodies would naturally not be regarded as food by the monsters. Therefore, after launching a few attacks, the monsters would tacitly acknowledge that there were no living things there. As a result, they would retreat from the world!

Angelina stepped forward and asked, “But I still don’t understand why we haven’t seen any members of the Esville Race. We have been in this city for so long. Are you the only one of your race?”

Sibisluka said, “The Esville Race has a lot of members, but our movements are limited. Because of our laziness, our companions do not like to go outside. After all, we are not willing to go out in our current state, so we only built high-level residences for the members of our race. However, these residences do not have doors and windows, because we have no use for them at all!”

Angelina nodded and retreated.

Avril stepped forward and said, “No matter what, this is your true form. We came here to make an alliance with you. In the future, we want to fight against all kinds of dangers in the Black Hole world with you, the Esville Race!”

Vincent touched his nose but he did not say anything. This was because he felt that Avril had brought up the idea of cooperating too early. However, it was not a big deal for them to let them know their purpose for visiting their world in advance. At least he could test the other party’s reaction.

Sibisluka reacted decisively and said, “Impossible! The current Esville Race has enough strength to protect themselves. They do not need allies at all, and it is even more impossible for us to help the allies who are not strong enough!”

“Hey, who are you calling not strong enough? If you have the ability, come out and fight me one-on-one!” said Avril angrily. At the same time, she rushed forward as if she wanted to make a move.

Vincent quickly pulled Avril and said to Sibisluka, “Our strength may be inferior to yours, but we understand the crisis inside the Black Hole better. We can help better prepare your defenses in advance!”

“I’m sorry, the Esville Race has their own supreme technological power. They don’t need the help of low-level races that have not shed their physical bodies to be our allies!”

Sibisluka firmly rejected Vincent’s suggestion. At the same time, his tone was filled with pride.

After hearing this, Vincent could not help but take a deep breath. He tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart.

This was because ever since he had stepped into the Black Hole world, every other race would always regard them as the weakest race. They had never stopped!

After hearing Sibisluka’s description of the Human Race, Vincent could not help but feel a little angry. He even thought that he might as well make a move.

A mere consciousness that was stored in a crystal was not something that could be easily broken!

“I’ve detected that your anger has increased tremendously. The possibility of me launching an attack is very high. I’m warning you to not act rashly!”

Sibisluka immediately warned them.

After hearing that, Avril said angrily, “Hey! You can feel that? So, you’re afraid of getting beaten up too!”

Sibisluka was silent for a while. It was as if he was avoiding Avril’s question. At the same time, he seemed to be thinking whether he should accept Vincent and the others’ suggestion.

Vincent tried to calm himself down. He carefully analyzed the pride of the Esville Race in his heart. He then said, “If you feel like it’s a difficult decision, can we each take a step back? Will you let us stay here and experience the advantages of the Esville Race? After that, we can slowly discuss the possibility of cooperation. How about that?”

“Okay, it’s settled then!”

Sibisluka immediately replied. He did not give Vincent a chance to go back on his word.

Avril said with a puzzled look, “What? This is too easy for them!”

Vincent shook his head and hinted to Avril to trust him. He continued, “Next, please prepare a room for us to rest, and prepare some technology industries for us to visit. After that, please introduce some of the members of the Esville Race to us, so that we can try to convince them.”

“That’s simple, no problem!”

Sibisluka readily agreed. After a few seconds of silence, he said, “Now you can go to your residence. It’s in the crystal building opposite the palace. I’ve already renovated your residence. Tomorrow, I’ll arrange for you to visit our technology industries and meet a few of our Esville elites!”

“Okay! See you tomorrow!”

Vincent nodded.

He then turned around and left with Avril and Angelina.

After leaving the palace, the three of them walked over to the crystal building. A door had appeared out of nowhere, and they could vaguely see the hotel-like furniture facilities inside.

Avril said with an unconvinced expression, “Why didn’t you let me handle them? What kind of ability can that shining guy have? Do we have to be afraid of them?”

Vincent shook his head and said, “Do you think that their highest combat strength is at the level of a defensive soldier? Believe me, they have already evolved to the form of a spirit body, so their strength will definitely not be weak. Believe it or not, as long as we take action, there will be robots that are stronger than us that will appear and kill us on the spot to ensure the safety of the diplomats!”

Avril was stunned. She had indeed not thought about this. After all, whether it was the firepower in front of the fortress or the offensive ability of the defensive soldiers, they had given her the illusion that this race could be controlled at will.

However, after hearing Vincent’s analysis, Avril began to feel fear.

“I’m sorry, I was too reckless!” said Avril with her head lowered.

“It’s okay, our purpose is to cooperate. We have to say it out loud. Otherwise, how can we continue the idea of cooperation?”

Vincent patted Avril’s shoulder and comforted her with a smile.

“But can we continue on the idea of cooperating?”

Angelina could not help but sigh in disappointment.

Vincent put his arms around the shoulders of the two women and said confidently, “As long as the two sides have not reached the breaking point, I think there is a chance for us to succeed. As long as we don’t give up, we may not necessarily fail!”

Avril nodded and agreed, “You are right! When we meet the other members of the Esville Race tomorrow, we will try to persuade them!”

“No need!”

Vincent smiled mysteriously and said, “There is no need to persuade them tomorrow. Just leave it to me. I have a way to make them take the initiative to ask us to cooperate with them!”
