”Hey, Coet up, you are in the way”

I opened uard which had first allowedits festival

'Is it fate that we kept crossing paths?'

”Ugh I slept quite well, what time is it?”

”It's 10, tiet up”

”Okay got it”

I stretched out co out to City Hall

Tak!

I bribed the secretary with a silver coin and I was able to meet the mayor soon after

”What is it this time?”

He was still buried in paperwork

”Pillgion is in count Sion's manor”

He looked up at me, surprise written on his face

”Pillgion? Really?”

I nodded back which caused him to frown and sport a serious expression

Ting!

He reached out into his desk and tossed old coin

”Catch Pillgion, but I want him alive Also, make sure not to touch count Sion”

He had coement

Going after a high ranking noble like a count would not end well In contrast, if we only took care of Piligion, then perhaps the target on o away

”Okay”

I left his office and headed straight to the count's estate It was located about a 2 days ride from Gartmar, but because he had made substantial investments in mines near this city, he would often stay in his Gartmar manor to oversee and broker transactions His main breadwinner was a silver mine nearby, but its output had decreased substantially over the last few years and it was all but depleted The loss in revenu hadin bed with Mirias

Sion used to be a respectable noble, well liked by the people However he was now in business with shady characters liked the deputy mayor, Miriam Of course now that I had notified the mayor of his involvement, he would keep a closer eye on the count, but without any concrete evidence, we couldn't bring about any charges on a noble For now our only option was to break off his relationshi+p with Miriam

'Her on Pillgion, torturing him to the brink of death'

I sported an evil grin as I waited for nighttiht from Anne, I watched the Count's residence

Jjirrr Jjirrrrr

It was a cool autu away, hard at work Before the winter came they would have to reproduce for their kind to survive, so the males tried to tempt the females with their loud and clear chirps Between the about, one could almost think they were at a concert

”Lena, give me a visual of the enemies”

”Yes sir!”

I could now see all 32 roouards coirl's escape

”So he's on the third floor, in the southern wing”

Pillgion was lying couards were posted outside his door

Tak

The guards were only level 24 Warriors, so they wouldn't be able to sense my presence I circled around to the southern side of the ion's room

”Who are you?”

”Shhh!”

I pressed er to his neck to ensure that he wouldn't make any sudden movements or cry out for help

”Is everything ok inside?”

A guard asked from behind the door

”It's nothing”

Pillgion's eyes were opened up in shock, it was Lena who had perfectly mimicked his voice He was coic which could reproduce another's voice

”Why don't you take a nice nap”

Puck!

Striking him clean on the chin, he instantly became unconscious I then carefully tied hiround floor Ju down after him, I picked him up and carried off to the deserted temple's base Giving hie

”Lesser Heal Lesser Heal!”

After a few of those he finally opened his eyes

”Hey there, are you finally awake?”

”Wooek Johra… what are you doing kidnapping me?”

”Well… this is e for all you've done to me”

I pulled out ave him a sinister smile

”Was it that you want? I'll do anything Woive you both, just please spare me!”

”Ohh? Sure et?”

”I can bestow on you a gorgeous elf slave the likes you've never seen before She would be at your beck and call and tend to your every needs so please don't kill me! Also my Boss is quite influential and would love to meet you, he'd rather become friends than enemies

According to his words, his boss Miriah to even secure Elven slaves Even if ere 20 years in the past, Elves were already to an extent being hunted by humans

However, despite his lavish promises, I need to chase down Miria me I had to reduce my exposure to worldly events so as to not affect the flow of history

”If you answer my question truthfully, then I'll let you live”

”I can't answer any question about my master because if he were to learn of it then my entire family would be murdered I'd rather die than let that happen:

”Shut up! The lives of you or your fa to me”

”That…”

”Now, is it true that Miriam is a merchant from the northern Balkan Empire?”

He stayed silent for a while before answering

”I won't say”

”You don't want to answer huh? Okay Lena, hit him!”

I grabbed him by the neck

”Yes Sir!”

Lena spoke to h the vibration in my bones so that only I could hear her I then followed her instructions

”GAAAAaaaaah!”
