Chapter 972 Dora

Emily shook her head slightly: "Nothing."

Nothing. Does that mean it is there?

In an instant, my gossip soul was on fire.

What kind of things could upset a wonderful girl like Emily?

I thought secretly in my heart, could it be a business matter? Or is it a private matter? Or is it indescribably private?

Hum hum hum, I really want to analyze Emily's heart at this moment and feel the reason why this girl is troubled and entangled~

While I was thinking wildly, I suddenly heard Emily say: "Are you thinking about something bad?"

I was startled, and when I turned around, I saw Emily staring at me unblinkingly. Her clear eyes, like the lake in the elf forest, seemed to be able to reflect my wretched heart.

I suddenly broke out in sweat

After a haha, I said: "No, it's nothing, hehe, hehehe."

Emily retracted her gaze and said seriously: "You are indeed thinking about something bad."

"Ah?" I was surprised again: "Why did you say that?"

"Because your eyes are in a trance, as if you want to avoid my gaze. You are not usually like this," Emily said lightly.

Ah, you are observing so carefully! I was defeated by this girl.

I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, I'll admit it. In fact, I have been thinking about what kind of things would trouble an outstanding girl like you."

Emily still said calmly: "I don't have any trouble."

After hearing this, I spread my hands and said, "Oh, that's good~"

After sending her home, I turned to leave, but she stopped me at this time.

Emily said: "After you went to Dashai City, have you met the president of the Rose Legion there?"

"No," I said, "I just went to visit my guild in Dashai City. As for the Rose Legion there, what does it have to do with me?"

Emily nodded slightly, and when she raised her head again, the expression on her face had returned to its usual indifferent tone: "Goodbye."

"Goodbye" I waved to her.

After confirming that she closed the door, I quickly ran towards the Elf Palace, where someone should be waiting for me.

Along the way, I held the Naotachi in my hand, always ready to unsheath it. After all, the meaning of the beautifully handwritten note was unclear. It just asked me to go to the back garden of the palace, without explaining what it was about. thing, and there is no signature.

I don't know if this is a trap or just a meeting. The only thing I can do now is to be mentally prepared. If there is any trouble, I will take out the sword from its sheath and directly take the enemy's head.

There were still dozens of meters away from the garden outside the palace, so I slowed down my steps and looked alert to the surroundings, not wanting to let go of any disturbance.

Years of life and death experience tell me that the quieter the place, the more likely it is to hide murderous intent, especially the location near the palace, which is particularly deadly.

Once I encounter an enemy and draw swords to fight, and the stalemate lasts for a long time, the soldiers in the palace will be alerted. Maybe I will be charged with appearing near the palace with a murder weapon. Although the Elf Queen and others may take me He was released on bail, but before being released on bail, a series of forced confessions and torture would probably be indispensable.

If I choose not to draw my sword, it would be okay if the enemy is a rookie. With a pair of gauntlets, I can crush the opponent to death. I am afraid that the enemy is a powerful adventurer. In that case, I will probably If you suffer a loss, you may even suffer a big loss, which is not worth the gain.

In short, be cautious and try to resolve matters that can be resolved outside the palace and never drag them into the palace.

However, at this distance of tens of meters, I did not detect any ambush, nor did I smell any conspiracy.

Everything was as calm as usual, just like the night in Moonlight City, quiet and clear.

Finally, I came to the back garden of the palace.

Looking around, I saw a slim girl not far away, holding a kettle to water the flowers.

I coughed, and the girl noticed me and walked over in small steps carrying a kettle.

Through the moonlight, I saw the girl's face clearly. She was an elf with an ordinary appearance, and it seemed that I had never seen her before.

"Who are you."

The girl smiled softly: "Master An Xiaoyi, it's me."

After that, she hissed and peeled off a layer of the mask, revealing her true face to me. It turned out to be Dora, who I had sent to the palace to pretend to be a servant of the Queen.

"Huh, it's you, Dora." I smiled and said, "Why did you put on such a layer?"

"Have you forgotten my specialty?" Dora smiled and said: "My specialty is disguise. Changing my face can make it easier for me to move around in the palace."

I nodded and asked her: "Disguise should be more than just disguise, right?"

"Of course," Dora said, "I can also change my voice at the same time."

"Then you are great~" I gave her a thumbs up.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Okay, why did you ask me to come here at this time?"

Dora touched her body and took out a piece of folded paper and handed it to me: "Please take a look."

Unfolding the paper, I saw a key with a very complex pattern drawn in the middle: "This is it?"

Dora said: "This is the pattern of one of the keys to the forbidden land gate."

Forbidden Area I suddenly thought of what Ren once told me. There is a very tightly closed heavy metal door in the Elf Palace. I thought that there might be a forbidden area behind the door.

I asked her: "How many keys are needed to open the door to the forbidden area?"

"Seven" Dora said: "Her Majesty the Queen has a key, and every elder holds one in his hand."

"Whose key does this belong to?"

Dora said: "It belongs to Elder Lindsay."

I wondered: "Did you steal it from her?"

"No, an elf gave it to me and asked me to help return it to Elder Lindsay."

I frowned: "Can I borrow this key?"

Dora shook her head and said: "I don't know, Mr. An Xiaoyi, I only know that these seven keys are very important."

"Okay, I get it." I smiled at Dora: "You did a good job."

Dora saluted me: "I should serve you."

"Dora, how are your sisters living in the palace?" I asked, "Have you ever been wronged in any way?"

"No." Dora shook her head and said, "Our lives are very stable now, and we don't have to worry about food and drink."

"Well, then do your best. Whenever you don't want to stay in the palace, you are welcome to come back at any time. The door to our home is always open to you."

"Thank you for your consideration." Dora saluted me again.

"Are you going back now?" I asked.

"Yes," Dora said: "Don't water the flowers for too long at night, otherwise you will be suspected."

"Thank you for your hard work." I nodded slightly to Dora.

Dora smiled brightly at me, put the fake face back on, and hurried back to the palace.
