Scene 82 Into the Night II

Brando smiled slightly, and had already got the answer he wanted. He turned his head and looked behind him, just facing Nimesis who was lying in that direction. The latter's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he nodded gently nod.

At this moment, the setting sun had begun to sink westward into the inner sea of ​​the empire. At the last moment before sunset, the surface of the extreme western sea burned up and turned into a single piece of pure gold that shone like gold, but with the last ray of light it also sank into the sea. Below the plane, the golden waters are rapidly dissipating, leaving only a dark red color, like a gradually cooling casting. The field of vision is from west to east, and the town of Greystone is surrounded by rolling hills. On a cloudless and sunny day, the field of vision is extremely wide at high altitudes—especially the Anzeluta Mountains running from east to west in the distance and the vast expanse of mountains in the east. The plains together form a magnificent picture, but after the twilight falls, the mountains in the distance seem to be shrouded in a layer of twilight, becoming hazy, like an impressionist oil painting, the edge of the sky and the earth is shrouded A layer of orange halo and clouds became blurred.

But it all ended in the silence of the night.

After the light dimmed, the vision of creatures accustomed to darkness became wider. The harpies circling over the town seemed to have noticed the movement 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 commotion seemed to erupt in Huishi Town, and the noise came from several streets, and the noise and noise attracted the attention of these flat-haired animals again. Attention, they turned around and flew into the town.

In Greystone Town, the troglodytes are capturing the hiding residents, imperial soldiers, adventurers, or other dangerous elements. They are not used to the daytime, so the hunting operation started in the evening, and soon there was a chaos in the city. group.

On the second floor of the Bullfrog's Call Hotel, the stinky searchers had just left when a cloak was suddenly lifted from among the debris, revealing a small figure from behind like a door opened on the wall , In the pitch-black room, a pair of lake-like green eyes appeared at first. The eyes were big, and the inside was crystal clear. It blinked slightly, and then showed a look of relief. This is a little girl wearing a dark green cloak, but the cloak on her is a bit weird-because it is obviously a traveling cloak for an adult, the hem has only been cut to fit her small figure so that it will not be dragged on the ground, but The huge hood cannot be changed, so the little girl has to hold the brim of the hat from time to time to prevent it from hanging down and covering the view, which is very funny.

The tips of light silver hair are exposed under the huge hood. The little girl tied her hair into two short ponytails and pinned it behind her pointed ears. Such a half-elf with wild elf blood can only be seen in the north of the country of the Greyhus Knights, and even further north in Ellanta--in addition, she is carrying a crossbow that is almost half her height, and wearing a pair of short barrels Leather boots, with a piece of feather glued to the left and right of the boots.

Standing on tiptoe, the little girl just put her chin on the window sill, and raised her head to stare at the harpies in mid-air—until they flew away again,

She struggled to climb up to the desk again, then knelt on the desk and pushed open the window, quietly glanced at the street below.

Cavemen have gone far.

She closed the window and replied tremblingly, "Xianni, has it gone far?"

A small voice asked curiously: "It seems so, they didn't find us!"

A small, triangular-shaped head appeared under the wide hood. This little thing looked a bit like a dragon that had been shrunk down thousands of times, and even had the same horns and pointed teeth. The retracted wing membrane, but this is not a dragon after all, this is a pseudo-dragon. Warnd has very few records about this peculiar species, and they are only seen in a few legends and biographies. Scholars on the coast of the Abyss believe that they are spirits of books and knowledge, and they are indeed often accompanied by scrolls, but this is only to satisfy their strong curiosity about this world. For the same reason, they will accompany mortals. Adventure around the world.

"The elves are terrified, this place is not fun at all, these people are bad, they are not friendly to elves at all!"

"Damn it yourself, from the moment you broke their trebuchet, you shouldn't expect them to be friendly to you." Shani replied angrily.

The little elf looked a little terrified, and hurriedly argued: "I, I, I, I have never seen what it is, I just want to touch it!"

"Then you don't have to cut that rope either."

"But I feel that if I cut the rope, something terrible will happen."

Shani replied angrily and sharply: "It did happen, and then we became wanted criminals!"

"Before that, we didn't want to hide in the east," the elf raised his mouth, "Didn't Xianicole tell the elf that there are these strange things here, didn't you say that this is the kingdom of human beings?"

"It really was until the last time I left."

"When was that?"

"About three hundred years ago."

"Forget about that for now," the elf threw Shani off his head, and stuffed her into his pocket regardless of the latter's protest: "Did you really see that guy?"

"I see it for real. That villain got us down from the sky. I would recognize her even if she turned into ashes," Shani answered with her head sticking out of her pocket after finally escaping from the former's clutches. Said: "If you hadn't made such a big commotion, maybe I would have caught up with it long ago."

"I'm sorry." The elf replied aggrievedly.

Shani replied proudly: "It's a good thing that my lady is smart, and I put a magic mark on that guy. As long as she doesn't leave the city, I can find her." She gesticulated on the elf with her paw a few times: " Let me see, hey, she hasn't gone far, she's right next to us!"

"There, where is that guy?"

"Pick me up." Shani ordered.

The elf took her out of her pocket, held her to the window with both hands, Shani glanced at the street outside, pointed to one of the roofs and said: "Hey, have you seen that, the roof of the house in the east, she is on In the attic over there—"

The little elf lay on the window and looked at it for a long time before suddenly realizing: "Oh, I see, so she is hiding in that candy shop—!"

"What candy store?"

"That's the candy store we went to that day. The chubby boss has four strange arrows on the sign on the door. Have you forgotten?"

"Oh, I remember," Shanny said, "but it's not a candy shop, it's a bakery, and those four strange arrows are a compass, 'Rovis' compass', you see I still remember the name. oops, shit - it's two streets to go from here to there, and i remember one of those streets has a sentry for those stinky guys. what to do, if you show up, you're bound to be caught by them Wake up, they will prepare a big pot for you, use elves to make soup, and put salt, onion and carrot in it."

"It doesn't matter, if we go that way, they will definitely not find us."

"Which way?"

The elf climbed down from the desk, and there was no light in the dark hotel, but her emerald green eyes flickered in the darkness, unaffected at all. She opened the door, walked down the hall, and up the stairs to the first floor and into the kitchen, which contained a cellar covered with thick planks piled high with cabbages and potatoes. "What is this place?" Shani asked.

"There is a secret passage below here, which can lead to the candy shop opposite."

"It's a bakery," Xian Ni corrected, but she asked again: "Why is there a secret passage leading to the bakery in the hotel?"

The elf shook his head: "I heard the innkeeper mention it when he was chatting with a woman."

"woman?"

"A beautiful woman, she even gave me a candy."

"You mean to say that you eavesdropped on them and she gave you a candy?" Shani asked in disbelief.

"No, I'm so far away that they think I can't hear you, but the elf can hear you clearly."

"Don't you feel any guilt?"

The elf obviously didn't have that kind of extra thing, she pushed the cabbage and potatoes off the wooden plank bit by bit, they rolled to the ground, and then lifted the wooden plank, 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. Tick ​​tock, but the elf was not afraid at all, and looked around curiously, as if on an adventure--and it was indeed an adventure.

But no matter how long the passage is, there is an end. Soon one person and one dragon fumbled to an iron gate, which was tightly closed without a single crack.

Shanny was about to fly to the doorknob to cast a spell, but the elf grabbed her by the tail, "Wait, there's someone behind!"

"It hurts, don't grab my tail!" Shani screamed.

The elf raised a finger to his lips and said, "Shhh—"

After a while, there was a rumbling sound coming from behind the iron gate, as if someone was dragging something. These noises lasted for a while before they stopped, followed by the sound of footsteps. "One, two, three, four, five, six." The little elf said silently. Six people entered the room over there one after another, and then there was the sound of closing the door. Xian Ni was startled: "Will they come in?"

The little elf shook his head, and replied as if he had seen it himself: "They didn't come here."

As if to confirm her words, there was a moment of silence behind the door, and then a voice came from a middle-aged man with a rough voice: "Miss Delphine, we came at an untimely time, and no one knows about those ghosts. Where did the thing come from? You can make up your mind. You can’t stay here anymore. We know that there is a secret passage in the city that can lead to the downstream of the Milky Way, but if it’s too late, 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 troglodyte guard in his territory. It can be seen that he has an extraordinary relationship with Qiao Gendigang. They have been planning these things for a long time. Conspiracy, but no one thought that he would dare to take action against the empire."

The elf heard this voice at the other end of the secret passage, and said to Shani, "It's her."

"It's that woman?"

The little elf nodded, she thought for a moment, and then suddenly said: "I see, she must be the proprietress of the candy shop."

"In your hometown, do people call the proprietress Miss?" Xian Ni sneered.

"She's in the candy shop, of course she's the proprietress of the candy shop."

"Good logic."

At this time, a young voice from behind the door interjected: "Mr. Elman must have seen through this man's plot in the Ring of Trade Winds, so he was murdered like this!"

"Thank you, Mr. Effie. That man is insidious and cunning. It must be the truth. I asked Andersa. If he hadn't left Elman and the others on purpose, she wouldn't have had the chance to do it. That woman is certainly hateful. But some hypocrites should be judged even more. Elman swore to protect me all his life, and now he is gone, but I am still his wife, and I must avenge him."

The first voice sighed: "Hey, Miss Delphine, well, please rest assured, no matter how long you stay here, we will stay and protect you."

"Thank you, Mr. Solintz."

"You are Welcome."

"The cave dwellers attacked the North Mountain Outpost today. That place is of no value to them. If they were heading towards Buos, it might be justified, but it turns out that they only attacked the North Mountain Outpost," the young voice said. He opened the mouth and said: "Cave dwellers don't do meaningless things, but I heard that Earl Alcons is in that place, and that man has a long history of hatred with the nobles in the south of the empire, so I guess that he is most likely to be with these cave dwellers. together."

"Our staff has indeed found out that there is a mysterious human being beside Tan Pu." The thick male voice replied.

"It's him most likely. 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 figure 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 residences."

"Okay then, find a way to arrange an ambush on the way 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 hide from the demon-slaying gun."

"Be careful, there is no big mistake." The thick male voice reminded.

Then the others chatted with each other a few more words, most of which were related to some recent events. Shani and the elf who were lying on the door quickly lost interest, and the conversation behind the door gradually died down, followed by another There was the sound of dragging debris, and finally with a heavy closing sound, everything returned to calm.

"Are they gone?" Shani asked after a while.

The two carefully pushed open the iron door. Behind the door was a small room filled with all kinds of sundries—wooden boxes, barrels, damaged cabinets, and iron shelves. The elf looked around, Asked in a low voice: "Do you understand what they are talking about?"

"It's nothing more than mutual revenge. I've seen many humans, and they're all like this." Shani replied after flapping her wings a few times and landing on the elf's shoulder.

"They're so boring, we don't care about them, we're going to get revenge on that bad guy ourselves."

"I always feel like you scolded us too."

"How come, we are righteous revenge, and they are different."

"What's the difference?"

"You are not allowed to speak, Xianni." Those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black, and the elf has learned the skill of turning anger from embarrassment without a teacher.

The two walked up the stairs in the basement. They silently pushed open the door of the basement. Outside the door was still a dark corridor. The Cruz's architectural talent seemed to be limited to connecting the corridors, rooms and stairs. They got up and added the outer wall at the end. There was no creativity at all. They carefully passed the first floor of the bakery, but there was no one living on the first floor, and the rooms everywhere were empty, as if they had experienced a sweep— ―The peculiar stench of cavemen still lingers.

"Do you know how to get to the attic?" Shani asked, covering her nose with her paw.

But the elf didn't care a bit, and sniffed here and there with his little pointed nose as he walked, like a beagle. Then she replied, "Of course I do."

"How do you know, have you been to this place?"

"Well, I sneaked up there once."

"When?" Shani asked in surprise.

"When you were away, there was a wild grape trellis at the back of the house, which was easy to climb," the elf replied in a low voice, "but then it was accidentally caught by the curtain, and fell down and crushed the grape trellis. There is no way to go up.”

"Later? You went up several times? Why did you go up?"

The elf replied, "I want to go up and see where the fat guy hides the bread."

Xian Ni 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 who doesn't pay for something?"

"But the elf has no money."

"Oh!" Shani scratched her face with her two little paws: "It's so pitiful, let's discuss it."

"What?"

"This time, if you are taken back by Aquisha, don't say that I brought you out."

"Why?"

"Because I don't want to die yet."
