Chapter 688 Patch’s Letter

secret.

Just these two words are enough to ignite a raging gossip soul.

What's more, it's still a secret of the elves.

I can't wait to find out.

Ren smiled, tapped his index finger on the table, and said nothing.

Pretending to be mysterious.

"Tell me, what do you want in exchange for this secret?"

"Secrets are free, but do you still remember your previous promise?"

I smiled, stood up, and pointed at him: "Wait, I will cash it for you now."

Although the top-quality wine of the elves is not as good as the fruit wine of the elves, it is still one of the best wines in the Zephyr Continent.

Renn is not usually seen drinking, but the moment the wine appeared, the greed of an old drinker flashed in his eyes.

Exactly the same as Taylor's.

"I thought you didn't drink."

"Who said that?" Renn took the wine box and held it tightly in his arms: "I don't drink bad wine, but I must drink good wine, especially the top-quality wine specially brewed by the elves."

Still a picky old drinker.

"You can tell the secret."

When I said this, I could already smell the aroma of vegetables wafting from the kitchen.

"Lying in the elder's house for the past few days, I discovered a very interesting pattern," Ren said: "On one side of the wall, I found a secret door."

"It's normal to have a secret door," I said. "The more powerful people are, the more afraid they are of death. To prevent others from retaliating, they often build a secret door in the most inconspicuous place in the room, or dig out A dark room.”

"Would I not be able to detect the secret door for escape?" Ren's tone contained a hint of dissatisfaction.

That's right, he is an expert, there is no way he can't figure this out, but I'm just talking too much.

Ren stroked the wine in his arms and continued: "This secret door is very special. Every time the elders choose to enter secretly when no one is around, the length of time they take to enter varies. Sometimes it takes a few minutes, sometimes it takes a few seconds. Hours, no rules."

"Well, this is a bit strange." I nodded and asked, "What do you think is behind the secret door?"

"I don't know." Renn shook his head: "I've never been in, but I always feel that it won't be easy."

"Gone?"

"Gone."

"Is this the secret you were talking about?"

"Isn't this a secret?"

I covered my forehead and said, "You haven't even figured out what's behind the secret door, so you dare to say it's a secret. What if there's something behind the door that an old witch uses to kill someone?"

After hearing what I said, Ren was a little furious: "Who do you think would commit suicide when they are neatly dressed, especially in formal clothes?"

"I'm not sure, what's her quirk?" I asked.

"Quirk?" Ren's eyes couldn't help twitching, which made his face even more ferocious: "You lurked in her room for a week, or I lurked in her room for a week! How could I not know whether it's a quirk or not! "

Boom!

With two blasts, Ren and I fell to the table at the same time.

Phoenix raised his fists and a row of explosive tendons appeared on his forehead: "Don't say strange words here! You will lead Remi, Lily and Lizzy into bad ways!"

The quarrel came to an end because dinner was served.

Ren didn't stay to eat with us. He told me that he was not used to it and just liked to eat quietly alone.

Although I tried to persuade him to stay, he still refused.

When Ren left, his back looked like an old man. No, he was originally an old man. But usually, I never regarded him as an old man.

Ren was humming a song when he left and looked very happy.

That's right, for an old drinker to suddenly get a box of top-notch wine, everyone would be happy.

Taylor wasn't happy.

A box of his wine was extorted for no reason, which was unbearable pain for an old drinker, so the old man started to play tricks.

There was food in front of me, but I didn't eat a bite.

Lily treats Taylor like a granddaughter treats her grandfather.

Taylor was unhappy, and Lily was naturally unhappy too.

She pouted and refused to eat.

Lily didn't eat, Rocky was too worried to eat, and Lizzy was too worried to eat.

Then Remy, then Phoenix, then... everyone.

I have a headache.

"I'll pay you another box." I discussed with Taylor, trying to relieve his resistance through bribery.

"Three boxes!" Taylor bargained.

"make a deal."

At night, I lay on the sofa, looking at the ceiling, and didn't fall asleep for a long time.

Recalling what Ren said, I always feel that there is indeed some truth in it.

Behind the secret door, there might really be some unknown secret of the elder hidden.

Elder?

Suddenly, I remembered an important key point: Which elder?

I kept hearing Ren talk about elders. Which elder's room was he lurking in?

Is it Priscilla?

Or Sonoda Dance?

Or, is it one of the other elders?

It seems that I will have to take time to ask him tomorrow.

Looking at Remi who was sleeping soundly in her arms, it was hard for this little loli to sleep on the sofa with me, even though it was all because of her clinging to me.

The next day, after slaying monsters and competing, I went straight to Ren's residence.

I knocked on the door, but there was no movement in the room. I knocked again, but still no sound.

Are you drunk?

I remember he took a box of top-quality wine from me yesterday.

Subconsciously pushed the door, and it opened.

The things in the room were arranged in a mess, but I knew that Ren had placed them this way to allow intruders to leave traces. He had taught me how to move without leaving any traces.

There are many rooms in the tree house. I visited every room, but I didn't find Renn anywhere.

Finally, I found a note on the corner of his desk: Boy, I will continue to lurk. If I come back successfully, I will ask you for a box of wine. Also, don’t forget to lock the door when you leave.

I sighed.

His actions are already a bit desperate. No matter how loopholes there are in guarding, the elf elder's home is definitely one of the most tightly guarded buildings in Moonlight City. A slight negligence may lead to loss of life.

But, what can I do now?

I could only crumple the note into a ball, put it in my pocket, leave the room, lock the door, go home, and pray on the way: I hope Renne can escape unharmed.

As soon as I got home, I received a letter.

Expand the stationery:

Xiaoyi, I am Pachi. I am living very well in Dashai City now and have opened a very good weapons shop. If you are free, I will make you a top-quality sword as your gift to my family. As a thank you gift for your care, of course, the material and handling fees still have to be paid.

Mi Lulu was still talking about you not long ago. She said she wanted to thank you in person, so I agreed for you first. Don't say I'm rude, you'll still ask me to build weapons in the future!

By the way, President Auli of the Dwarf Guild has also been sent here to serve as the branch president. With his protection, there is no need to consider safety matters.

A few days ago, I saw your friend, the third young master from Ai Rui City, posting posters on the street, as if he was recruiting adventurers.

He has lost a lot of weight. If it weren’t for my amazing eyesight, I might not have recognized him!

By the way, Xiaoyi, why did he come to Dasai City?
