But Brando smiled slightly, having already got the answer he wanted. He turned around and looked behind him, and happened to meet the eyes of Nimesis who was lying in that direction. The latter's eyes were as sharp as a knife and she nodded lightly at him.
nod.
At this moment, the setting sun has begun to sink westward into the inner sea of the empire. At the last moment before sunset, the sea surface in the extreme west burned and turned into a solid piece of pure gold, but with the last ray of light, it also sank to the sea level.
Below, the golden waters are quickly dissipating, leaving only a dark red color, like a gradually cooling casting. From west to east, Graystone Town is surrounded by rolling hills. On a cloudless and clear day, the view is
It is extremely open at high altitude - especially the east-west Anzeruta Mountains in the distance and the endless plains to the east together form a magnificent picture. But after dusk falls, the mountains in the distance seem to be shrouded in a blanket.
The layers of twilight became hazy, like an impressionistic oil painting. The edges of the sky and the earth were shrouded in an orange halo and clouds, becoming blurred.
But it all ended in the silence of the night.
After the light dimmed, the vision of the creatures accustomed to darkness became wider. The harpies hovering over the town seemed to have noticed something strange on the nearby hills. They hovered on the nearby hills for a long time, croaking.
Screaming, but before they attracted the attention of others, a riot seemed to suddenly break out in Greystone Town. Noisy sounds came from several streets. The noise and noise attracted the attention of these flat-haired beasts again.
With strength, they turned around and flew towards the town.
In Greystone Town, cavemen are arresting hiding residents, imperial soldiers, adventurers or other dangerous elements. They are not used to daylight, so the hunting operation starts in the evening, and soon there is chaos in the city.
group.
On the second floor of the Bullfrog's Cry Inn, the smelly searchers had just left. A cloak was suddenly lifted among the piles of debris, and a small figure was revealed from behind like a door in the wall.
, a pair of lake-like green eyes first appeared in the pitch-black room. The eyes were big and crystal clear inside. It blinked slightly, and then showed a look of relief. This was a person wearing a dark green cloak.
She is a little girl, but the cloak on her body looks a little weird - because it is obviously an adult's traveling cloak. The hem is only cut to fit her small stature so that it does not drag to the ground. However, the huge hood cannot be changed.
, so the little girl had to hold the edge of the hat from time to time to prevent it from hanging down and blocking her sight, which would look very funny.
The tips of light silver hair were exposed under the huge hood. The little girl tied her hair into two short twintails and pinned them behind her pointed ears. This seemed to be her only identity feature - generally speaking, only
Such a half-elf with wild elf blood can only be seen in the northern part of the Knights of Gracius, and even further north in Ellanda. In addition, she also carries a crossbow that is almost half her height and wears a pair of short barrels.
Leather boots, with a piece of feather stuck to the left and right sides of the boots.
The little girl stood on tiptoes, just enough to place her chin on the window lattice, and raised her head to stare at the harpies in the air - until they flew away again, she climbed up to the desk with difficulty, then knelt on the desk and pushed
He opened the window and quietly took a look at the street below.
The caveman has gone away.
She closed the window and replied with some trembling: "Xianni, Xianni, has it gone far?"
A soft voice asked curiously: "It seems like this, they didn't even notice us!"
A small, triangular head appeared under the wide hood. This small thing looked a bit like a giant dragon that had been shrunk thousands of times. It even had the same horns and pointed teeth, and
The folded wing membranes, but this is not a dragon after all, it is a pseudo-dragon. Warnd has very few records about this strange species, and they are only found in a few legends and biographies. Scholars on the coast of the Abyssal Sea
They are considered to be elves of books and knowledge, and they do often accompany books, but this is only to satisfy their strong curiosity about the world. For the same reason, they will accompany mortals and go on adventures around the world.
.
"The elves are frightened. This place is not fun at all. These people are bad. They are not friendly to the elves at all!"
"It's your own fault. From the moment you break their trebuchet, you shouldn't expect them to be friendly to you." Xianni replied angrily.
The elf looked a little frightened and defended in a panic: "I, I, I haven't seen what that thing is, I just want to touch it!"
"Then you don't have to cut the rope."
"But I feel like if I cut the rope, something terrible will happen."
Shani replied angrily and shrilly: "It did happen, and then we became wanted criminals!"
"Before that, we didn't have to hide here and there," the elf raised his lips: "Xianni never told the elf that there are these strange things here before coming here. Didn't you say that this is the country of humans?"
"It certainly was before I left last time."
"When was that?"
"About three hundred years ago."
"Never mind that for now," the elf plopped Xianni off his head and stuffed her into his pocket regardless of the latter's protests: "Did you really see that guy?"
"I can see it really. It was the bad guy who brought us down from the sky. I can recognize her even if she turned into ashes," Xianni finally escaped from the former's clutches and stuck her head out of her pocket to answer.
Said: "If you hadn't made such a big noise, maybe I would have caught up with it."
"I'm sorry." The elf replied aggrievedly.
Xianni replied proudly: "Fortunately, I am smart and have given that guy a magic mark. As long as she does not leave the city, I will have a way to find her." She made several gestures on the elf with her paws: "
Let me see, hey, she didn’t go far, she’s right near us!”
"There, where is that guy?"
"Lift me up." Xianni ordered.
The elf took her out of his pocket and held her to the window with both hands. Xianni glanced at the street scene outside, pointed to one of the roofs and said, "Well, have you seen it? She is on the roof of the house to the east.
There in the attic—"
The elf lay on the window and stared for a long time, then suddenly realized: "Oh, I know, it turns out she is hiding in that candy shop——!"
"What candy store?"
"That's the day we went to that candy shop. The chubby boss, there were four weird arrows on the sign hanging on the door. Have you forgotten?"
"Oh, I remember," Shani said: "But that's not a candy store, it's a bakery, and those four weird arrows are compasses, 'Lowes' compass.' Look, I still
I remember the name. Oh no, there are two streets to go from here to there, and I remember there is a sentry post for those smelly guys on one of the streets. What can I do? If you show up, they will definitely catch you.
When you get up, they will definitely prepare a big pot for you, use the elf to stew the soup, and put salt, onions and carrots in it."
"It doesn't matter. If we take that road, they will definitely not find us."
"Which way?"
The elf climbed down from the desk. There was no light at all in the dark hotel, but her green eyes flickered in the darkness without being affected at all. She opened the door, walked through the corridor, and walked along the stairs.
Come to the first floor and enter the kitchen. There is a cellar in this kitchen. The cellar is covered with thick wooden boards, and the wooden boards are piled with cabbages and potatoes. "What is this place?" Xianni asked.
"There is a secret passage down here that leads to the candy shop opposite."
"It's a bakery," Xianni corrected, but then she asked, "Why is there a secret passage in the hotel leading to the bakery?"
The elf shook his head: "I heard the hotel owner mention it when he was chatting with a woman."
"woman?"
"What a beautiful woman. She even gave me a candy."
"You mean you eavesdropped on their conversation and she gave you a candy?" Xianni asked in disbelief.
"No, I was standing far away. They thought I couldn't hear it, but the elf heard it clearly."
"Don't you feel any guilt at all?"
The elf obviously didn't have that kind of extra stuff. She pushed the cabbage and potatoes off the board little by little, and they rolled to the ground. Then she lifted the board, revealing a dark staircase.
There really is a secret passage under the cellar. The entrance is hidden behind a row of wine racks. This passage is long, dark, and twists and turns. It goes up and down from time to time, and there is water in some places.
It was ticking, but the elf was not afraid at all, and looked around curiously, as if he was on an adventure - which was indeed an adventure.
But no matter how long the passage is, it will eventually end. Soon one person and one dragon groped for an iron door. The iron door was closed tightly without a single crack.
Xianni was about to fly to the doorknob to cast a spell, but the elf grabbed her tail and said, "Wait, there is someone behind you!"
"It hurts, don't scratch my tail!" Xianni screamed.
The elf raised a finger to his lips and said: "Shh——"
After a while, there was a rumbling sound coming from behind the iron door, as if someone was dragging something. These noises lasted for a while, then stopped, and then there was a burst of footsteps. "One, two, three, four.
, five, six." The elf muttered silently. Six people entered the room over there one after another, and then there was the sound of the door closing. Xianni was startled: "Are they going to come in?"
The elf shook his head and replied as if he had seen it personally: "They haven't come yet."
As if to confirm her words, there was silence for a moment from behind the door, and then a voice came out, a middle-aged man with a rough voice: "Miss Delphine, we came at the wrong time, no one knows about those ghosts.
Where did the thing come from? Please make up your mind. We can no longer stay here. We know that there is a secret passage in the city that can lead to the lower reaches of Yonghe River. But if it is too late, I am afraid that secret passage will also be destroyed.
Find those monsters."
A soft female voice replied: "I know where these things come from. That man has a caveman guard in his territory. It shows that his relationship with Jorgendigon is extraordinary. They have been planning these for a long time."
Conspiracy, but no one thought that he would actually dare to take action against the empire."
The elf heard the voice at the other end of the secret passage and said to Xianni: "It's her."
"Is it that woman?"
The elf nodded, she thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "I know, she must be the proprietress of the candy shop."
"In your hometown, do people call the landlady lady?" Xianni sneered.
"She is in the candy shop, of course she is the proprietress of the candy shop."
"Good logic."
At this time, a young voice behind the door said: "Mr. Elman must have seen through this man's conspiracy in the Ring of Trade Winds, so he suffered such a murderous attack!"
"Thank you, Mr. Effie. That man is insidious and cunning, and that must be the case. I asked Andesa, if he hadn't intentionally left Elman and the others behind, she wouldn't have found a chance to do it. Although that woman is hateful,
But some hypocritical people should be judged more. Elman swore to protect me throughout his life. Now he is gone, but I am still his wife, and I must avenge him."
The first voice sighed: "Hey, Miss Delphine, okay, please don't worry, no matter how long you stay here, we will stay to protect you."
"Thank you, Mr. Solinz."
"You are Welcome."
"The cavemen attacked Beishan Sentry today. That place has no value to them. If they were heading for Buos, it might be justified, but it turns out that they only attacked Beishan Sentry," the young voice said
He said: "The cavemen will not do meaningless things, but I heard that Earl Alcorns is in that place. That man has a grudge against the nobles in the south of the empire, so I guess that he is most likely to have a relationship with these cavemen.
Together."
"Our personnel have indeed found out that there is a mysterious human being beside Tanservant all the time." A thick male voice replied.
"Then it's most likely him. How can ordinary people be with those monsters, especially at this time of year." A new voice said, with a somewhat hoarse accent.
"Can you find out Tan Pu and his whereabouts?" a woman's voice asked.
"It's not difficult. These monsters are probably used to burrows and are not used to our buildings. We can easily approach their location."
"Okay, then, find a way to arrange an ambush location on the road he must pass, and don't get too close. That person is very powerful."
The young voice sounded again: "No matter how powerful he is, he can't escape the demon-slaying gun."
"Be careful and you won't make a big mistake." A thick male voice warned.
Then the others chatted a few words with each other, mostly related to some things that happened recently. Xianni and the elf who were lying on the door quickly lost interest. The conversation behind the door gradually became quieter, and then there was another burst of
There was the sound of dragging debris, and finally with the sound of a heavy door closing, everything returned to calm.
"Have they left?" After a while, Shanni asked.
The two carefully pushed open the iron door. Behind the door was a small room filled with all kinds of debris - wooden boxes, barrels, damaged cabinets and iron shelves. The elf looked around,
Asked in a low voice: "Do you understand what they are saying?"
"It's nothing more than revenge on each other. I have seen many humans and they are all like this." Shanni flapped her wings a few times and landed on the elf's shoulder.
"They are so boring. We don't care about them. We will find revenge on the bad guy ourselves."
"I always feel like you scolded us too."
"How could it be? We are seeking righteous revenge, which is different from them."
"What's the difference?"
"You are not allowed to speak, Xianni." If you are close to red, you will be red. If you are close to ink, you will be black. The little elf has learned the skill of getting angry out of shame without any teacher.
The two walked up the stairs to the basement. They quietly opened the door to the basement. Outside the door was still a dark corridor. The Cruz people's talent in architecture seemed to be limited to connecting corridors, rooms and stairs.
They finally added the outer wall, which was completely uncreative. They carefully passed by the first floor of the bakery, but no one lived on the first floor. The rooms everywhere were empty, as if they had undergone a sweep—
—still retains the peculiar stench of cavemen.
"Do you know how to get to the attic?" Xianni asked, covering her nose with her paws.
The elf didn't care at all. As she walked, she sniffed here and there with her pointed little nose, like a beagle. Then she replied: "Of course I know."
"How do you know? Have you been to this place?"
"Well, I went up there secretly once."
"When?" Xianni asked in surprise.
"While you were away, there was a wild grape trellis behind the house, which was easy to climb," the elf replied in a low voice, "but then he accidentally got caught on the curtains and fell down, crushing the grape trellis.
There is no way to go up again.”
"Later? You went up several times? What did you go up for?"
The elf replied: "I want to go up and see where the chubby guy hid the bread."
Xianni sneered at this answer: "You want to steal bread, right?"
The former blushed slightly: "Who told him not to sell it to us——"
"Have you ever seen someone buy something without paying?"
"But the elf has no money."
"Oh!" Xianni scratched her face with her two little paws: "It's so pitiful. Let's discuss it."
"What?"
"If you are captured by Aquesa this time, please don't say that I brought you out."
"Why?"
"Because I don't want to die yet."
