Those intruders with water in their heads did it quite simply. They just invaded the entrance corridor and only three of them died. However, dealing with it afterwards became a problem for me.
Thanks to Eliza, the explosions of those "safe" goblin devices resounded through the sky and could even be heard in the three blocks next door on a quiet night. This was originally a legendary haunted house, but now it is even more infamous.
Bar.
And completely to my expectation, after discovering that the alarm location was the residence of the legendary "tumor lich", the urban management brigade did not hesitate to wake up the sleeping sisters and dispatched a luxurious lineup of thirty elite knights.
Led by a legendary paladin, a battle group composed of 30 paladins above the silver level... is enough to challenge an adult dragon. Are they here to save people, or are they taking the opportunity to get rid of the "cancer" that affects the social atmosphere?
It's clear at a glance.
"That bastard lich can never catch his evidence. This time, Yawen led Team A to rescue, and I led Team B to raid. Haha, although I don't know why the Law Enforcement Department always protects him, I don't believe it.
He is a lich without any contraband. If we succeed in capturing him this time, Captain, I will treat him to a drink."
"Oh, kill him! For the classic magazines in my warehouse... they were all blown up!"
"Haha, first I was hung up into the sky by a rope, then I was spun until I vomited, and then I was hit by a ghost horse against the wall... Sisters, it's time for revenge!!"
"For Momo's little bear!"
"For my mother's dowry! The knights charge! Attack!"
It can be seen from these fierce slogans that someone does a lot of good things... The grudges are not as deep as usual.
Although the lich with the water in his head did not commit any major crimes, if it were his turn to cause mental torture to the city administrators through pranks, I am afraid that the total number of sinners would be less than half.
If we defeat the opponent this time, we can not only get the captain's reward, but also get revenge for our lost camp and past grudges. From the very beginning, the knights showed amazing momentum and morale, using infantry to outrun the cavalry.
A rapid march of speed.
When the city management officials arrived, they were surprised to find that their immediate boss, Iron Guard (Snowhoof), had arrived. Moreover, when he saw the corpse on the ground, his face suddenly turned pale, and he gave up all plans to cause trouble for the lich.
To the back of the head.
"Dark Elf? Why?"
The dead are all members of their own race. Look at the spider silk shadow hood that increases the movement of shadows, the thick leather cat-step boots that reduce the sound of footsteps, and the daggers and daggers with green light. Even if you don’t consider their extremely bad reputation, you can tell that they are
What are you here for?
"It is the standard configuration for the assassination mission of Poison Spider Fang. This kind of second-level advanced assassin requires the blessing of the Spider Queen. Only the big dark elf family can afford it."
If it were on the surface, just the race of dark elves could be regarded as a crime. Even in the underground world, dark elves are arrested first and then tried in many places, and the arrests are basically not wrong. Of course, if they are demons and demons, they are burned first and then tried.
You can’t go wrong in any trial…..
In this world, sometimes the race itself represents good and evil and the camp it is in. It is rather strange that the Sulfur Mountain City uses "evil and chaotic" dark elves as city guards.
If only members of the same race committed crimes, Diana, the captain of the urban management team, was used to receiving the same punishment, but the exclamation behind her made her heart stop.
"It's Kalos of the seventh family, a candidate for martial arts master. He came with the diplomatic envoy from Menzoberranzan."
"Menzoberranzan?" Just thinking of the name of her hometown, Diana smiled bitterly. As freaks who believed in the Holy Light, they had no good memories in the Spider Queen's domain in the past. "... It's time to come.
The Spider Queen will never forget her enemies, and there is no word forgiveness in the Dark Elf vocabulary. There is no way they will let us go."
They are all dark elves. Even if they believe in the Holy Light, those tricks in the sewers will not be forgotten. This is one of the reasons why the dark elf knights of Sulfur Mountain City are extremely difficult for criminals.
Ellenita plans to get rid of these traitors to the Spider Queen, but the dark elf knights have always been wary of these "diplomatic envoys" from their hometown. At least, outside the hotel where the ambassador's delegation stayed, there are still surveillance posts following them in turn.
Pass.
But obviously, they still underestimated these elites from their hometown. Apparently, they successfully evaded the surveillance they sent out. Maybe they were also responsible for the recent serial murders...
"Hey, isn't this Captain Diana? Long time no see."
The lich kept his eyes open and told lies as always, but now, the worried Diana was not in the mood to trouble him. She was still worried about waiting for the case to be put on the table at dawn. Even if someone died in the embassy, she would never suffer.
How will the city of Menzoberranzan react? Will it spread this loss to itself and its sisters?
Even if we don't consider the reaction of our hometown, there have been dark elves committing crimes in the city recently, which has put extra pressure on the urban management. Now, these dark elves who raided the lich's residence died on the scene, which is equivalent to being caught red-handed.
But this was something she had expected. What she was more worried about was that when the citizens learned that the murderers of the serial murders were really dark elves, it would be even harder to find evidence based on her understanding of the people.
If he is still unable to solve the case, will the reputation of the group be affected? After all, several big businessmen have been assassinated before and the case has been unable to be solved. The urban management has already been under a lot of pressure.
"Diana, you're lucky this time. The case of the big businessman Xia Wen was solved so directly."
"Cracked? The serial murder case against businessmen?" Hearing this, all the dark elf knights were shocked, their faces full of surprise and disbelief.
"Is there evidence!?"
Diana was a little unbelievable. Even though she had guessed that the murderers were those from the embassy, it was difficult for the dark elves to leave evidence when committing crimes. As the law enforcer of Sulfur Mountain City, especially when the other party was a diplomatic corps, she could not take action without evidence.
, but was restricted to peripheral surveillance.
"Yes, that guy actually brought the assassination list with him. Now, the evidence is conclusive. We can also take the opportunity to protest to Menzoberranzan."
At this moment, it was rare for the tall, taciturn man to be so happy. Also, as the head of the Law Enforcement Department, the serial murder case had not been solved for a long time, and he was under greater pressure than himself.
"By the way, are brothers Beya still in detention?"
"Huh? Bea?"
"It's the pair of goblin blasters."
"Oh, those pair of green bombs, in order to save money, they actually used RDX (a high explosive used to explode mountains) as the power source of engineering equipment. How could that thing not explode? They are still insisting that they have no power.
He said that it was his ancestral secret recipe and was absolutely safe and reliable. We are still not willing to pay the bail and fines. We are still collecting evidence to prepare for prosecution and accuse them of manufacturing dangerous and counterfeit goods. Unfortunately, we can’t find any evidence. Their
The products were all blown to ashes..."
"The evidence is there! Look at these dark elves and those crushed goblin equipment. Do their causes of death look familiar?"
"Snowhoof, you look so honest on the outside, but you betray your teammates without mercy." Hearing the excited speech of the tauren law enforcement officer, I couldn't help but draw a prayer cross in my heart for Brother Bea, and then, without any hesitation,
Hesitantly take a step forward and join the camp of selling teammates...
"Sir, it's all the fault of those goblins who are greedy for money. I am a good citizen. Some time ago, my maid bought some household items at Safe Goblin Equipment. As a result, they all exploded. Fortunately, those kind people blocked it for me.
Disaster, otherwise, I will definitely die. Adults, please make the decision for me!"
"Dark elves are kind-hearted people. Isn't the lich already dead? Can he die again? And it's weird that this scourge like you can really die." Looking at the two law enforcers whose eyes couldn't help twitching, I already guessed
Find out what they are thinking.
At least, the look in my eyes seemed to say, "Do you think we are idiots, or are you an idiot yourself?" This kind of distrust makes people very uncomfortable, especially since I am restricted by the curse of the sub-artifact, and I am obviously telling the truth.
.....I didn't know about this, but those dark elves did help me ward off disaster.
Hey, hey, if you don’t take my words seriously, be careful of me complaining, or be careful of me secretly wearing small shoes for you and sending you to work as a supervisor in a sulfur mine!
"Ahem, Brother Bea's equipment shouldn't be very lethal, right?" As if she finally remembered that such a look was rude, Diana turned her attention to other places and began to change the topic.
When she saw her immediate boss here, she knew that today's plan to trouble the lich was in vain, but she had also tried the power of those explosives, and the elite of Menzoberranzan would not die from such an unpremeditated small-scale explosion.
.
"This is it." Snow Hoof took out some fragments from the wound of the corpse, which were some shimmering silver particles.
"High-purity holy silver particles are embedded in the engine of engineering equipment. Once the engine explodes, it will be like a dwarf's musket. The explosion provides the initial power. It is these fragments that really kill people."
Seeing these holy silver fragments, the corners of my mouth began to twitch. "Eliza...you are really thoughtful in your design."
"It seems that it is indeed not your handiwork. Have you offended the Beya brothers? They plan to murder you."
Now, no need for me to talk nonsense, my suspicion has been cleared. Holy silver is a thing that is said to be a sacred object blessed by the gods of order. It is extremely lethal to demons and undead. Just touching it will cause me harm.
I can't use it at all whether it's severe burning or real damage that directly damages the soul.
"As for what? To this extent." I remembered that some time ago, Eliza's fingers were bandaged and she couldn't work well. It must be to fill these holy silver fragments. Even if she is only a half-demon, she will not touch these things.
It feels so good.
"In order to avoid being resurrected inexplicably, I'd better pay her two years' salary first..."
"Boom!!" Suddenly, after a series of explosions, a huge figure rushed out.
"Block him!"
"Who is that?"
"Ouch!"
How could the suspicious person escape at this time? The surrounding city management surrounded him, but the answer was the arrogant orc war cry!
But with a flash of silver light, the giant sword came like a dragon and killed everyone in all directions. In the disbelief eyes of everyone, everyone's sophisticated weapons were cut off directly.
"how could it be possible!"
"Be careful, his weapon is wrong! Don't confront him head-on!"
After the crisp sound of "哐哐哐!", under the big knife, the thick armor of the urban management was as fragile as tissue paper. The sword was everywhere, screams were repeated, and blood spattered!
Following the momentum, the violent half-beast unexpectedly rushed out of the encirclement!
"Oku, how could this happen?!"
Of course Diana recognized the orc with red eyes in front of her. This criminal was cunning and cruel. The city administrators had worked hard to arrest him.
"No, how could he be so strong?"
Half elf, half orc, a bronze-level professional killer, even though his eyes are red and his muscles are bulging, as if he has entered the berserker state unique to orcs and barbarians, a bronze-level warrior actually rampages in front of a group of silver-level and above knights.
It’s incredible no matter how you look at it.
"It's that knife! There's something weird about that knife, don't let it touch it!"
Soon, everyone discovered that something was wrong. Even if everyone's weapons were already very good, in front of that dragon-patterned giant sword, they would often be split into two after two collisions.
"Step aside!!"
There is indeed a good weapon that can challenge you across levels, but the Diana in front of you is a legend. The gap between the two sides is too big. The Silver Avenger, the holy sword that is also an epic, is not inferior to the Dragon Slaying Knife.
"clang!"
The swords crossed, and the Silver Avenger was unlucky enough to be split into two, but the jaw of Oku's sword was directly cracked by the shock. Then he lost all defensive posture and was kicked away by Diana.
Diana used her force skillfully, obviously intending to stay alive and ask about the situation, but Oku was first tortured, then driven mad and overdrawn, and then used a knife to attack others. Then he was kicked in the chest by the legendary knight, and then he vomited on the ground.
After two mouthfuls of blood, he was about to die immediately.
When the paladins realized that something was wrong and planned to use the holy treatment that could only be used once a day to save their lives, Oku had already lost his breath.
"I need to explain!! Why Oku, who should be in the prison of Sulfur Mountain City, is here, and why the dark elf assassins attacked here!"
The silver dagger with only half of it left was pointed at me. It seemed that she would not give up until she got an answer today.
But I laughed... everything went as expected, and the fish took the bait.
After looking at each other with Snow Hoof, I remained silent. Finally, he stood up.
"It's like this. In fact, Roland has a secret relationship with our judicial system. He is a master of soul science and torture. If we encounter a tough-talking prisoner, we sometimes ask him..."
These explanations are actually the truth, at least, they are the truth that Snow Hoof knows, and Diana also vaguely noticed something was wrong. The judicial authorities were too conniving with the lich in front of her. That time when he was chasing him, he met the Sleepless Man.
The adults are also very strange, and the director of the Law Enforcement Agency in front of me is also very strange.
"Yes, we are all actually our own people." I can't tell lies. This is absolutely true. What it actually means is that I am the Sleepless Man himself. However, in front of the Paladins, they think I am talking about myself.
She has dealings with the judicial system, and at this moment, as I expected, Diana showed a look of enlightenment.
"Hmph, no matter who protects you, don't let me catch you committing a crime! Otherwise, no one can save you! Close the team!"
When I left, he viciously threatened me in front of my boss. He was really a typical idiot knight, so innocent and easy to take advantage of!
And when I smiled and watched them take the corpses and pack up to leave, a familiar voice sounded in my ears.
"The confession that Oku just forced out has been confirmed by the experimental subject named Ellenita. I have copied two copies and sent them to Margaret and Lord Adam through secret channels. However, Sir, it is difficult to spend so much energy.
Acting actually exposes your apparent relationship with the judicial system, is it worth it?"
"Of course it's worth it. To be honest, I still underestimated that perverted killer. He actually had such an important secret in his hands. And in order to temporarily reassure those guys who are ready to take action, Oku must die, and he must die in front of the world. In this way,
As long as the experimental subject really escapes, the news of the ambassador's overnight escape will look real. Then, as long as the experimental subject obediently submits the false news, they should not suspect that the information has been leaked."
"Just to paralyze those guys, you staged such a scene? And you also lost an epic magic weapon?"
"That Dragon Slayer? That's a rip-off. The 1% chance of going berserk actually increases the holder's chance by 1% every second, which means that after 2 minutes, the holder will be mad and will not recognize his relatives. Isn't this a rip-off? You might as well give it away.
What's more, I remember that there is someone in the urban management team who can use this knife, and the urban management team is my arm, and their power is my power."
"...Why do I feel that you are protecting them so that the clues they can trace will be cut off, so as not to be too involved and become cannon fodder?"
"Haha, my imagination is really rich." I said haha and looked up at the sky.
"That's not the case. This matter involves the Dungeon City Lords Alliance and the Elemental Evil Gods, as well as those bastard traitors in the Council. They have good combat capabilities, but some things require brains. Their political abilities are so low, and they are involved.
They are worse than cannon fodder. I have finally managed to create a Knights of Holy Light. It is a pity to sacrifice them in vain. I plan to let them work hard for me for a few more years."
Speaking of which, I became inexplicably excited.
"The ancient evil god and the dungeon overlord finally have an enemy worth fighting against. Haha, maybe this is a sign of a new era."
