Chapter 289 - Dark Elves (1/2)

What Roy did not expect was that Julia only returned after a while.

Although it had been a while, Julia still brought an attacker back. When she threw the attacker in front of Roy, he realized that it was a dark elf!

This dark elf was knocked unconscious and lying motionless on the ground. Roy looked up and asked Julia, “What’s going on?”

“It’s a group of dark elven assassins!” Julia said in a depressed tone. “There are still a lot of them, and they’re very good at concealing their whereabouts. After Giovanni and I rushed over, these bastards attacked us, but after realizing that they weren’t our match, they immediately scattered in all directions to escape. Giovanni and I split up to chase after them for a while, but the assassins we caught all chose to commit suicide. It wasn’t easy for me to knock this guy out first…”

“The question is, why are dark elves in Eeofol?!” Giovanni was a little depressed. “Are they here to attack demons specifically? I wonder which clan they belong to…”

The dark elves were defectors of the wood elves. They did not have a country, and they lived in the underground world with their clans as their units. In each clan, the leaders were matriarchs, a typical matrilineal society. These matriarchs controlled the religious, political, and military power of the dark elves. It was said that they never raised their children personally but sent them to the temple to learn all the skills needed for survival. Male dark elves were generally trained as assassins, while female dark elves were generally trained as killers.

In addition to being extremely hostile to the elves, they had been fighting endlessly among themselves, so they had yet to unify into a country. But these dark elves who believed in the Dragon of Darkness, Malassa, were also an enormous force in the world of Ashan. No one was willing to be targeted by the dark elves because once they were targeted, it meant endless assassinations and schemes. The dark elves themselves understood that with their sparse numbers, they could not live openly like other forces, so they used ruthlessness and insidiousness as a means to preserve themselves. Precisely because of this, the dark elves had always been feared by other races.

Therefore, when he found out that the ones who attacked his people were actually dark elven assassins, Giovanni had a headache. He thought that nothing seemed to have happened between the kingdom of Heresh and the dark elves recently…

“Won’t it become clear if we ask?” Roy looked at the motionless dark elf on the ground. “How long are you going to pretend?”

Hearing Roy’s words, Giovanni and Julia immediately drew their swords and were on guard. The dark elven assassin realized that he had been noticed and did not continue pretending. He stood up from the ground and looked at Roy calmly.

There was a mask covering his mouth and nose, but his long ears were very conspicuous. Perhaps because of living underground for a long time, the skin of this dark elf was very dark, which was beneficial for them to hide in the darkness and shadows.

Julia had already searched his body on the way. His poisoned daggers and crossbow bolts, including the poison sack in his teeth, had already been taken away. This dark elven assassin had no strength to resist, so he did not do anything extreme. “Which clan are you from?” Roy rubbed his chin with his claws and looked at this guy with interest. “Why did you attack my

people?”

The dark elf said nothing, but his eyes darted around, observing the surroundings.

Roy smiled coldly. “Don’t bother. Even if you remember everything, you might not be able to pass the information back!”

After hearing Roy’s words, the dark elven assassin did not continue looking. He lowered his head and remained silent.

Facing this situation, Giovanni was furious. He had also encountered this situation when he was trying to capture these assassins. These assassins were simply ruthless, the kind that would commit suicide without a word. Although this dark elf had lost his means to commit suicide, he still looked like a tough nut to crack. So Giovanni could not help but walk forward, step on the dark elven assassin’s hand, raise his sword, and cut off a finger.

Giovanni planned to interrogate him, but despite the dark elven assassin trembling in pain, he gritted his teeth and said nothing.

“Tsk tsk! You have guts!” Roy quite admired him, but he did not intend to continue wasting time with this guy. He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers. Then he saw Benia sashaying over with a smile. “Benia, I’ll leave it to you!” Roy said. “Find out his origin and purpose!”

“Don’t worry. I’ll get him to confess after he experiences a few wet dreams!” Benia giggled.
