101. Routines(2/2)
The merchants in the Grand Empire were delighted, because these elves seldom negotiated prices and could make a lot of money from every business.
After dark, because Aesop issued a ban, the entire station was no longer allowed to go out.
It was late at night, and the station suddenly received a message from the Elf King.
He was chatting with Grand V and wanted to eat some of the fruit he had brought.
No one dared to touch the fruit that belonged to the Elf King. It had only been given to Lu Yu before, so there was still a lot left.
After hearing the news, the two elves filled a basket full of fruits and headed to the capital.
Some elves who were awakened were surprised to find that Xingchen had not sent anyone to protect them, but they soon understood the reason.
Previously, Xingchen acted too hard, which resulted in them being criticized by their own princes. After that, they basically accommodated the elves' requests.
Being able to walk beside the Elf King means that his strength is not bad in itself, so naturally he does not need the protection of these people.
Momo saw all this in his eyes, and heard the members of the Star Knights in the corner complaining that these people did not understand good people. A dark shadow quietly slipped out of the station, came to the open space, and released a magic homing pigeon.
It didn't take long for the message to be answered.
After confirming the content, Black Shadow did not hesitate anymore. He checked the route chosen by the two servants who delivered fresh fruits to the Elf King.
Perhaps in order to rush for time, these two elves did not take the main road, but chose a shortcut.
This shortcut will pass through a forest and wasteland before entering an inhabited area.
He picked around here repeatedly and finally chose a corner of the road.
There happened to be a few big trees at this corner blocking the view, making it easier for me to hide.
He opened the package he was carrying.
Potions that prevent magicians from absorbing magic power, daggers that interfere with magic power, and magic dust that can create traces of battles.
Although with his strength, it was very easy to crush two low-level servants, but in order not to reveal his identity, he could only imitate the murderer in this troublesome way.
Last time he successfully misled the empire and the Feather Knights to track down the murderer, which gave him a great sense of accomplishment.
Seeing Imperial and Feng Yu doing useless work in the street, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"If His Majesty hadn't suddenly advanced the time, I could have chosen a better target. It's a pity..."
Hiding in a big tree and wiping his dagger over and over again, he couldn't help but sigh.
Waiting until ten minutes past midnight, two people whispered from the distant path. Although he couldn't hear it clearly, he immediately cheered up.
Seeing the two people under the moonlight getting closer and closer, the knife in his hand became tighter and tighter.
One hundred steps.
Fifty steps.
Ten steps…
He waited very patiently until both elves passed under the tree and completely entered a blind spot, then jumped down.
The sound of landing quickly attracted the attention of the two of them. Just when they were about to turn back, he rushed forward, briefly suppressing their movements with magic power, and slashed the throat of the elf closest to him.
.
However, the elf on the other side was also very fast, and he barely dodged the killing blow. The blade just hit his right hand that was raised to block, leaving a bloody mark.
Feeling the pain, the elf shouted.
This sound made him stunned.
Why is it a man's voice?
The moonlight obscured by the clouds shone just right on the ground, illuminating the outline of the face of the elf in front of him.
Looking at those facial features and face, his body felt cold from head to toe.
