It was easy for those intruders, who have so with their head, to die After all, only 3 of them were left when they barely reached the entrance ofthe issue afterwards is on me
Thanks to Elisa’s help, the sound of those ‘Safe’ goblin machinery’s explosions reached the heavens Especially on such a silent night, even those from 3 streets away could hear it Before, this was said to be a haunted house but now, its infa to spread further
Co that the location of the reported case is the living quarters of the ‘poisonous tumor’, the Town Security ar sisters and sent an ihts
Led by a legend-rank Holy Knight, the forhts of at least silver-rank… This is already sufficient to challenge a dragon Are they here to save soet rid of the ‘poisonous tu the city’s climate, it is obvious to see with one look
“That Lich bastard, ays lack evidence to prosecute him This time, Yaill lead Team A to conduct the rescue mission while I will lead Team B to conduct the raid Hehe, I don’t understand why the Hall of Enforce with hile banned good If we succeed in the raid this time, as the captain, I will treat you all to drinks”
“Ohhh, get rid of hiot exploded!”
“Hehe, let’s first tie hi him in the sky Then, spin hiht to the ith the Spirit Horse… Sisters, the tie have come!!”
“For Moe! Attack!”
From these passionate roars, it can be seen that soood deeds in his pastime… The depth of hatred isn’t normal
The Lich with a loose screwabout the mental turmoil the Town Security suffer froether don’t equal to a half of his
If they e to take him down this time, not only do they receive a bonus reward fro up their base and all the different grudges from the past Ever since they set off to apprehend the Lich, their ed to run at speed surpassing that of riders
When the Town Security finally arrived at the scene, they, unexpectedly, found their head, The Guard of Steel (Xueti) have already arrived Further at the corpses on the floor, their faces turned pale white Their grudge with the Lich went to the back of their mind
“Dark Elves? Why?”
The corpses are that of their brethren Looking at the Spider Silk Shadow Hat that boosts one’s movement speed in the shadow, the Cat’s Sneakers which reduces the sound of footsteps, a dagger and knife with a green glow on its edge, even if we do not consider their terrible reputation, the reason why they are here is obvious at a glance
“It is the standard equip when on assassination missions A 2nd job advanced assassin requires the blessing of the Spider Queen Only big faroo a Dark Elf can be considered a sin and even in the underground world, many places choose to capture the Dark Elves first before investigation and questioning Further in their arrests Of course, for de theation…
In this world, there are times when a race itself is seen as a representation of kindness or evil and the faction they belong to In Sulfur Mountain City’s case, they are considered to be eccentric for using the ‘evil and chaotic’ Dark Elves as guards for the city
If it is just her brethren co crimes, Town Security captain Diana is already used to it, just punish thely But the shout from the back made her heart stop
“It is Carlos froht diplo about the name of her hometown, Diana flashes a bitter sht, she doesn’t have any good memories back in the territory of the Spider Queen “…What should coets her eneiveness’ in the dictionary of Dark Elves It is io”
As Dark Elves, even though they converted their faith to believe in the Holy Light, they never forgotten those underhanded methods That is also why, to criht squad was difficult to deal with
Arunide was planning to get rid of these traitors of the Spider Queen but at the sahts ary of these ‘diplomatic ambassadors’ from their hometown At the very least, tabs from the spies on the doorstep of the hotel which the diplo in never stopped
But obviously, they still underestied to bypass the spies they sent out and in the worst-case scenario, the recent serial murder case was caused by them…
“Yo, isn’t this Captain Diana? Haven’t seen you in a while”
As usual, this Lich was speaking nonsense However, unlike usual days, the worried Diana didn’t have the mood to find trouble with hi daybreak when news that there are casualties froht City, which never takes an insult lying, blame this incident on her and her sisters?
Even if she neglects the response from hometown, the recent suspicious reat pressure and now that those Dark Elves that tried infiltrating the Lich’s living quarters are found dead at the scene, it is as good as theht in the act
While she expected such a thing to happen, what she was truly worried hen the citizens discover that the true culprit behind the serial murderer case recently was Dark Elves, then based on her understanding of her brethren, it would be harder for theather evidence
If they are unable to resolve the case swiftly, the naht take a blow After all, before this incident, there were already a few bigunable to solve these cases, they were subjected to quite a bit of pressure by the populace
“Diana, your luck isn’t bad this time Looks like the case of the murder of the merchants can be concluded”
“Concluded? That consecutive killings directed towards hts shakes violently, their faces full of surprise and disbelief
“There is evidence!?”
Diana found it difficult to believe in Even though they suspected that the murderer is those fellows from the diplomatic team, but Dark Elves rarely leave concrete evidence behind Furthermore, as a law enforcer of Sulfur Mountain City, they cannot lay their hands on suspects without evidence, especially towards ambassadors, thus they were severely limited to siht the hit list with him This time, we have concrete evidence We can take this chance to send a letter of protest to Morsblight City”
At this instant, the solee block of uess that is to be expected As the Head of the Hall of Enforce unable to resolve the case of the serial reater than ht, are the Beyar brothers are still under custody?”
“Hm? Beyar?”
“That pair of explosive-obsessedtime bomb To save hly volatile explosive used for blowing up mountains) as the power source of theto not explode They are still insisting that they are innocent, that it is a secret recipe passed down by their ancestors and definitely safe They are unwilling to pay bail and fine, so we are currently collecting evidence to launch a coood But, we still can’t find any evidence because all their products that exploded…”
“There is evidence now! Look at these Dark Elves and those broken machinery pieces, don’t you find that their cause of death is quite fa so honest on the outside, you sell your friends without a hint of hesitation” Hearing that Tauren law enforcer talking excitedly, I couldn’t help but draw a cross for the Beyar brothers in my heart and pray for them Then, without hesitation, I joined the betrayer club…
“Lord, it is all the fault of those greedy goblins Just a while ago, my maid went to the Safe Goblin Machinations to purchase soht end up exploding Fortunately, those kind-hearted people over there helped edy Otherwise, the one dead one would definitely be rievances!”
“Dark Elves are good-hearted people? Isn’t Liches already dead? Can they die again? Besides, it would be weird if a walking trouble like you can die” Looking at how the corner of the eyes of these t enforcers keep twitching, I can roughly guess what they are thinking
At least, their gaze speaks of ‘Do you really take us for idiots or are you an idiot yourself’ Their lack of trust makes me unhappy, especially when I am restricted by the God Equipment Curse to be unable to lie… I really don’t know about it; those Dark Elves really did help me ward off a cala some trust, you better be careful of my complaints I will secretly make your life difficult and send you all to the sulfur h, the destructive ability of the Beyar brothers’ h?” Finally recalling that such a gaze is rude, Diana turns her glance elsewhere and diverts the topic
Seeing the presence of her superior here, she understands that her plan to land the Lich in trouble has gone down the drain However, she has once personally tried the hly iht City to die to such unplanned small-scale explosions
It’s this” Xueti retrieves a silver fragh purity Holy Silver Beads It seeine if the machinations such that once it explodes, the explosion provides kinetic energy to the beads, allowing it work like the rifles of the Dwarf The trueat these Holy Silver fragan to twitch “Elisa… You really planned everything out well”
