Sarlayan's righteousness left the barrage speechless.
"Speaking of which, even though the war has just ended, we haven't seen anyone begging in Yonge Forest. Is there really no shortage of food?"
"I knew that life in Quel'Thalas was superior, but I didn't expect that even beggars, a creature that can be seen everywhere in thousands of worlds, would become extinct..."
Due to being discriminated against by pure-blood elves for many years, Sharlayan did not have a good impression of the country of Quel'Thalas, and he never felt that it was something to be proud of that every elf had enough to eat.
After leaving Quel'Thalas, Sarlayan realized for the first time that in the world outside Quel'Thalas, people were running around for a full meal.
Some people become bandits and engage in evil deeds of robbing houses and blocking roads.
Some people choose to be beggars, reaching out to beg for food from kind-hearted people passing by.
Due to his special growth environment, Sarlayan had always seen Quel'Thalas' shortcomings and took its advantages for granted.
After seeing the outside world with his own eyes, Sharlayan began to look back and reflect on whether his understanding of Quel'Thalas was too one-sided and subjective.
'Dad, is this why you asked me to leave my hometown and travel?'
"I am becoming more and more curious about Sarlayan's father. It is really rare to have such foresight in this ancient feudal society."
"Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles."
“What you see on paper is ultimately shallow, but you know you have to do it in earnest.”
"Okay, okay, stop reciting ancient poems there. Didn't you see that Sarlayan is already confused?"
Shaking his head and ignoring the obscure ancient poems in the barrage, Sarlayan found a rare moment of relaxation and found a bakery on the roadside to sit down and rest.
"I hope Valeera can achieve something."
…
As expected, the group of ruffians instinctively fled to the place where they had received the mission.
Valeela successfully met the man in black robe who asked the gangsters to take action. He should be waiting here on purpose to wait for the gangsters to report the results of the mission.
After completely condensing her aura and sneaking to the extreme distance in front of the opponent, Valeela saw the person's appearance hidden under the hood.
Contrary to her expectations, this person was not the Slacker who had picked trouble with Luo Ning before, but a young woman with an average-to-upper-average appearance.
'This is strange. We have only been in Dalaran for a few hours. Have we offended anyone except Slack?'
Valeela, who was confused, continued to stand still and quietly waited for the development of the situation.
The place where the two parties meet has left the middle ring of the city, and the surrounding houses have become very sparse, and most of them are low-rise bungalows.
Judging from Valeela's professionalism, this is a very suitable place for murder and silence. She has already mourned in her heart for these gangsters who failed in their mission.
"Failed?"
The woman in black robe deliberately changed her voice in some way, making it difficult to distinguish between male and female.
"The mission failed, and you actually escaped back like this?"
Valeela could feel that the muscles all over the woman's body suddenly tensed up, and invisible arcane ripples spread out from her center, as if she wanted to confirm whether there was anyone following her nearby.
This time when he went out on a mission, Verles gave Valeela a treasure collected by the Deep Shadow Family.
In name, it was to help her complete her mission, but in reality... I understand. It was just to let her better assist Sarlayan outside.
This piece of equipment is called the Invisibility Cloak.
As the name suggests, the main effect of the cloak is to enhance the stealth ability and isolate detection spells to a certain extent.
As long as the opponent's strength does not exceed that of Valeela herself, the detection spell will be difficult to take effect.
After confirming that "no one" was around, the woman in black robe breathed a sigh of relief, but then a cold light shot out of her eyes.
"Want money? Humph~"
With a sneer, her right hand with two rings on it stretched out from under the black robe.
Before the gangsters who noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere could react, the black-robed woman fired blue-white arcane missiles from her hands one after another, knocking all the unprepared gangsters away in just a few seconds.
"wait wait wait!"
The most powerful bearded leader fell to the ground and moved back in fear, blood began to flow from the corners of his mouth.
"We don't want any money, we just want to keep it... ah!"
Under Valeera's calm gaze, the black-robed woman mercilessly added a magic explosion with a range attack, killing all the few survivors who were lucky enough to survive.
"Tsk!"
The white feet exposed outside the black robe were splashed with a little blood, and the woman in the black robe was very dissatisfied.
"Dirty lowlife."
Using a cleaning spell to wash away the blood on her feet, the woman in black robe looked around alertly, then activated a certain magic item and left the scene by teleportation.
After a few seconds, Valeela emerged from the shadows and frowned at the twenty-some corpses on the ground.
"She carries a magic prop with the ability to teleport. I'm afraid this woman's identity is not simple. She is at least the apprentice of a senior mage."
Valeera sighed helplessly: "It seems that I accidentally got involved in a troublesome matter. That guy Sarlayan is still so good at causing trouble."
"Um?"
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Valeela suddenly saw something in the cuffs of the bearded man who was staring at him.
It was a small piece of fabric that was different in color and material from his own gray linen clothes.
"Black...silk?"
Valeera picked up this small piece of black silk and quickly restored the previous scene in her mind.
"So that's it. Before he died, he deliberately sprayed blood on the woman's feet and took the opportunity to divert her attention to tear off a small piece of black robe material as evidence."
Valeera looked thoughtfully at the bearded leader who still had his eyes wide open.
"The little guy's last struggle...? It actually helped me unexpectedly."
As Valeera retreated into the shadows again, tranquility returned to this neglected urban outskirts.
It wasn't until the next morning that someone finally discovered these brutally dead bodies and hurriedly reported them to the nearby Kirin Tor guards.
…
"Have you really been silenced?"
After learning the follow-up development from Valeela, Sarlayan was not surprised by the result, and his mood was not much disturbed.
Neither the employer nor the gangsters are good people, it's just dog eat dog.
"Suck~"
Valeela was engrossed in eating bread, and suddenly she was surprised to find that Sarlayan actually put the "dirty" black robe to his nose and smelled it.
"What are you doing! You are not a hound!"
Valeela took back the black cloth from Sarlayan angrily, but was surprised to see a thoughtful look on Sarlayan's face.
"...What? You don't really smell anything, do you?"
"Um."
Sarlayan pointed to his nose: "You also know that my life experience is quite special."
"Ever since I was blessed by the Tree of Life Sas'ala and awakened part of my bloodline power, my five senses have been significantly improved."
"What I smell is not the smell, but the residual energy breath."
Sarlayan pointed to the black cloth in Valeela's hand: "Before this piece of black cloth was torn off, its owner should have been casting a spell, so some special energy fluctuations remained."
"so?"
Valeera raised her eyebrows and asked, "Can you follow this weak energy fluctuation to track the target?"
"cannot."
Sarlayan spread his hands and added before Valeera rolled her eyes and complained: "At least I can't do it alone. If someone can help me set up the tracking spell, maybe... it can be done."
Sarlayan nodded and his eyes became deeper: "I have an indescribable hunch that this matter may have something to do with His Highness the Prince."
Daju Zhizhong: "Hello everyone, my name is Hunch."
"Hey, brother, please be considerate of Xiao Sa. You can't say that you just heard the barrage. I'm afraid Valeela will suspect that there is something wrong with his brain."
