Blood Elf Monarch

The cell was damp and cold, water dripping from the mold-infested ceilings, and every so often, the sounds of clanging metal could be heard. A scent that can be described as musty mixed with a bit of rot permeated the air, making the place uncomfortable and difficult to breathe in.

Inside the cell, Tristan sat with 4 men and a woman, all of them seemingly familiar.

Those five were the space knights he was fighting against back at that ruins.

One of the men, a brown-skinned, muscular guy with army cut hair, stood, approached him, and glared, trying to use his height to intimidate Tristan.

"So, it really is you, blood elf."

Tristan merely looked up from his sitting position and calmly asked. "Yes, it is me, what do you want?"

Phiuu! The guy spat on the floor, right next to Tristan\'s feet, and said. "You killed three of my mates. Just watch, when I manage to get out, I will make sure you regret it!"

The guy made a crushing gesture with his hand, while Tristan stared at him before rolling his eyes. What a cliché sentence, he had heard this tough guy routine at least twice a day back when he was in prison.

Though Tristan knew that inciting his anger wasn\'t the best decision, he decided to answer just for the fun of it.

"Haha!! How you plan to do that?! you can\'t even defeat me with your fancy guns and suits! Big talk from someone behind the bar!"

"Huh, I don\'t even need my suit to kick your ass!"

This really was a waste of time. Tristan wasn\'t really just inciting him for the fun of it. He chose to say that to remind the guy of his disadvantage and see if he can be reasoned with.

Apparently not, they are just classic jarheads.

Tristan turned around and was prepared to leave when a much heavier voice spoke from behind him.

"Are you a human or an elf?"

Now, this is a more interesting question. Tristan turned back and saw a burly man with a scar covering half his face. Tristan remembers him, he was the space knight captain who was strong enough to beat him to a pulp.

Tristan walked closer to the steel bar, while the burly man stood up and walked with confidence.

"Don\'t mind my men; you can talk to me instead. My name is Siegfried, captain of the Grey Wolf. What is your name?"

"My name is Tristan." He looked at the burly man up and down. He seems reasonable enough to have a civil discussion.

"You are not an elf, aren\'t you, Tristan? That goblin must have operated on you… In fact, no need to answer that, I\'m sure you\'re human. I have seen the goblin lab and those poor human remains"

Oh, smart and direct, and seemingly strong enough. Tristan thinks this one he can talk with.

"You are right. I am a human."

"I know for sure, you are not from here, Where are you from, Which planet?"

"It\'s a planet called Earth, do you know anything about it?"

The scar-faced man seems to think for a moment before saying. "No, I am afraid. There are tens of thousands of human worlds in the universe, and all of them can be quite similar to each other. There is simply no way to keep track of them all, without me having access to the system"

"I see…" Tristan nodded.

As if the man could read his mind, he continued.

"I guess, we are the same in a way, Tristan. Both of us are stranded here."

"That is true." Tristan agreed but said nothing more. He wishes to hear what the man trying to sell"

"I think we humans should help each other, Tristan. You help us get out of this place, then when I have access to the system, I am sure I will be able to find where Earth is and get you back home. Are you interested?"

This is definitely something that he interested in.

"Ok… continue... I\'ll consider after I know more of your plan."

The scar-faced man went silent for a moment, but in an instant, he nodded and smiled.

"I guess even though we\'re both humans, you can\'t just trust us right off the bat, huh? Then sure, I will tell you. It\'s a pretty simple plan... Get us out of this place, and then we can go to my ship\'s crash site. Assuming the controls still work, I can contact a ship to pick us up, then we can take you home on our ship. Just like that."

"What if it\'s not working?"

"My men here Chieng" Siegfried pointed toward an Asian looking man "Though not look much he can fix things, we can work things out eventually"

Well, Tristan had to give props to him. That plan sounded half-believable, and from experience, he could tell that at least half of what the man said is right.

Fortunately, Tristan has the best solution for this problem. A better way to get 100% guaranteed truth. He decides to scan the burly man called Siegfried

[Human]

[Battle Power: 112]

[Spirit Force: 48]

This guy is definitely not an Arcadian, and with his current power level, it shouldn\'t be impossible to seal him.

[Blood Seal]

[2000 blood essence required to proceed.]

2000 blood essence? That\'s pretty high for such stats. Was his system broken? Tristan looked at the man, trying to find a sign as to why does it require so much blood essence to sealed him.

The next information appeared, and it only made Tristan even more confused.

[Sealing success rate: 7%]

What the hell? Why was it only 7%?! 

Even though Tristan had to admit the man was strong, that rate of success is just outrageous. Even the stronger Kingsblade soldiers were still in the 20%-30% range when it comes to success rate.

Just what makes this space knight so different from them?
