Brando smiled slightly and got the answer he wanted. He turned his head and looked behind him. It happened to face Nimesis who was lying in that direction. The latter's eyes were sharp as a knife, and he lightly tapped on him. nod.
At this moment, the sunset has begun to sink westward into the inner sea of the empire. At the last moment before sunset, the sea surface of the extreme west burned and turned into a whole piece of pure gold shining, but with the last beam of light, it also sank to the sea level. Below, the golden waters are quickly dissipating, leaving only a dark red color, like a gradually cooling casting. The view is from west to east. Greystone Town is surrounded by rolling hills. On a clear and cloudless day, the view is extremely wide at high altitude—especially the Anzeruta Mountains running from east to west in the distance and the endless plains to the east. It constitutes a magnificent picture, but after the twilight descends, the mountains in the distance are like a layer of twilight, becoming hazy, like an impressionist oil painting, the boundary between the sky and the earth is shrouded in one layer. The orange halo and the clouds became blurred.
But all this ultimately fell into the silence of the night.
After the light dimmed, the vision of the creatures accustomed to the darkness became wider. The harpy hovering over the town seemed to have noticed the abnormal movement on the nearby hills. They hovered on the nearby hills for a long time while quacking. Screaming, but before they attracted the attention of others, there seemed to be a commotion in Greystone Town. Loud noises came from several streets, and the noise and noise re-attracted the attention of these flat-haired beasts. Force, they turned around and flew into the town.
In Greystone Town, cavemen are arresting residents, imperial soldiers, adventurers, or other dangerous elements in hiding. They are not used to daylight, so the raid started in the evening, and soon there was chaos in the city. group.
On the second floor of the Bullfrog Inn, the smelly searcher just left, suddenly a cloak was lifted between a pile of debris, and a small figure appeared from behind like a door opened on the wall. At first, a pair of lake-like green eyes appeared in the dark room. 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 in a dark green cloak, but the cloak on her looks a little weird—because it is obviously an adult travel cloak, only the hem is cut to fit her, the little one will not drag to the ground, but it is huge Her hood cannot be changed, so the little girl has to hold on to the edge of the hat from time to time, lest it hang down and obscure her vision, which is very funny.
Light silver hair tips appeared under the huge hood. The little girl tied her hair into two short double ponytails, pinned behind her pointed ears. This seemed to be the only identity feature on her body-generally speaking, only in Only in the northern part of the Greyhose Knights country, and even further north, can I see such a half-elf with wild elf blood—in addition, she carries a crossbow almost half her height and wears a pair of short leather boots. , There is a feather on the left and right sides of the boots.
The little girl stood on tiptoe, just put her chin on the window lattice, raised her head and stared at the harpies in mid-air—until they flew away again, she climbed up the desk with difficulty, then knelt on the desk and pushed away The window, quietly glanced at the street below.
The caveman has gone far.
She closed the window and replied with some trembling, "Xianni Xianni, has it gone far?"
A low-pitched voice asked curiously: "It seems like this, they didn't even find us!"
A small, triangular head appeared under the wide hood. This small thing looked a bit like a dragon that had shrunk several thousand times. It even had the same horns and pointed teeth, and The folded wing membrane, but this is not a dragon after all. This is a pseudo-dragon. Vaughan has very few records about this peculiar species, and they are only found in a few legends and biographies. Scholars on the coast of the Deep Sea think that they are the spirits of books and knowledge. They do often accompany the scrolls, but this is only to satisfy their curiosity about the world. For the same reason, they will accompany mortals. Adventure everywhere in the world.
"The elves are terrified. This place is not fun at all. These people are broken. They are not friendly to the elves at all!"
"Make it up to yourself, from the moment you break their trebuchets, you shouldn't expect them to be friendly to you." Xianni replied angrily.
The elf looked a little bit lingering, and hurriedly defended: "I, I, I have never seen what it is, I just want to touch it!"
"Then you don't have to cut that rope."
"But I think if I cut the rope, something terrible will happen."
Xianni replied angrily and shrieked: "It did happen, and then we became the wanted criminals!"
"Before that, we weren't going to hide from Tibet," the elf raised her mouth: "Before I came here, Sunnike hadn't told the elf that there are these strange things here. Didn't you say that this is a country of mankind?"
"It was true before I left last time."
"When is that?"
"About three hundred years ago."
"Don't worry about this," the elf grabbed Sunny from her head and stuffed her into her pocket despite the latter's protest: "Did you really see that guy?"
"I can see it really, it was the villain who got us down from the sky, and I recognize her when she turned to ashes," Xianni finally escaped from the former's claws, she poked her head out of her pocket to answer Said: "If you hadn't made such a big move, maybe I would have caught up with it."
"I'm sorry," the elf replied aggrievedly.
Xianni replied triumphantly: "Fortunately, this lady is witty. She gave that guy a magic mark long ago. As long as she doesn't leave the city, I can find her." She stroked the elf with her claws: " Let me see, hey, she didn't go far, she was near us!"
"There, where is that guy?"
"Lift me up." Xianni ordered.
The elf took her out of her pocket and held her to the window with her hands. Xianni glanced at the street view outside, pointed to one of the roofs and said, "Hey, did you see it? On the roof of the east house, she is right there. In the attic there—"
The elf lay on the window and looked at it for a while, then suddenly realized: "Oh, I see, it turns out that she is hiding in that candy shop!"
"What candy shop?"
"That's the day we went to the candy shop, the chubby boss, there are four weird arrows on the sign on the door, have you forgotten?"
"Oh, I remember," Sunni said, "but that's not a candy store, that's a bakery, and the four weird arrows are compasses.'Roves' compass', you see. Remember the name. Oops, lousy—you have to pass two streets from here to there, and I remember that there was a post of those stinky guys on one of the streets. What can you do, as long as you show up, you will definitely be caught by them , They will definitely prepare a big pot for you, use the elf to stew the soup, and put salt, onions and carrots in it."
"It doesn't matter, if we go that way, they will not find us."
"Which way?"
The elf climbed down from the desk, and there was no light in the dark inn, but her turquoise eyes flashed in the darkness, unaffected by it. She opened the door, walked through the corridor, followed the stairs to the first floor, and entered the kitchen. There was a cellar in the kitchen. The cellar was covered with thick wooden boards, which were piled with cabbage and potatoes. "Where is this place?" Xianni asked.
"There is a secret tunnel below that can lead to the candy shop opposite."
"It's the bakery," Xianni corrected, but she asked again, "Why is there a secret road in the hotel that leads to the bakery?"
The elf shook his head: "I mentioned it when the innkeeper was chatting with a woman."
"woman?"
"A pretty woman, she gave me a candy."
"You mean you eavesdropped on them, and she gave you a candy?" Xianni asked incredulously.
"No, I'm standing far away. They thought I couldn't hear it, but the elf could hear it clearly."
"Don't you have any guilt?"
The elf obviously didn't have that kind of extra stuff. She pushed the cabbage and potatoes off the wooden planks little by little, and rolled them to the ground, then lifted the wooden planks to reveal a black hole staircase.
There really is a secret passage under the cellar. The entrance is hidden behind a row of wine racks. This one is long and dark, with twists and turns. I don’t know how many turns it has turned. Tick and tick, but the elf was not scared at all, and looked around curiously, as if on an adventure—in fact, it was indeed an adventure.
But no matter how long the passage is, it will eventually come to an end, and soon one person and one dragon fumbles to an iron gate, which is closed tightly without a trace of cracks.
Xianni was about to fly to the doorknob to cast her spell, but the elf grabbed her by the tail, "Wait, someone is behind!"
"It hurts, don't catch my tail!" Xianni screamed.
The elf raised a finger to his lips, and said, "Shh—"
After a while, there was a rumbling sound coming from behind the iron gate, as if someone was dragging something. The noise lasted for a while before it stopped, and then there was a sound of footsteps. "One, two, three, four, five, six." The elf said silently. Six people entered the room over there, and then there was the sound of the door closing. Sunni was taken aback: "Will they come in?"
The elf shook his head, and replied as if seeing him: "They haven't come here yet."
As if to confirm her words, there was a moment of silence behind the door, and then a voice came out of a rough middle-aged man: "Miss Delphine, we came at an untimely time, and no one knows those ghosts. Where did things come out? You can think about it. I can’t stay here anymore. We know that there is a secret road in the city that leads to the lower reaches of the galaxy. But if it’s late, I’m afraid that secret road will be Find those monsters."
A soft female voice replied: "I know where these things came from. That man has a caveman guard in his territory. It can be seen that his relationship with Qiao Gendigang is very different. They have been planning these things a long time ago. Conspiracy, but no one thought that he would really dare to do something against the empire."
Hearing this voice on the secret road, the elf said to Xianni, "It's her."
"Is that woman?"
The 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 boss's wife a young lady?" Xianni sneered.
"She's in the candy shop, of course the proprietress of the candy shop."
"Good logic."
At this time, a young voice behind the door said: "Mr. Elman, he must have seen through this man's conspiracy in the ring of trade winds before he was hit by this evil!"
"Thank you, Mr. Effie, that man is sinister and sly, presumably that is the case. I asked Andesa that if he hadn't deliberately left Elman and the others, she would not find a chance to do it. That woman is hateful. But some hypocritical people should be judged even more. Elman vowed to protect me for his life. Now he is no longer there, but I am still his wife. 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 to protect you."
"Thank you, Mr. Solinz."
"You are Welcome."
"The cave dwellers attacked the Beishan post today. That place is of no value to them. If they were going for Buos, it might make sense, but it turns out that they only attacked the Beishan post," the young voice said. He opened his mouth and said: "The cavemen don’t do anything meaningless, but I heard that Earl Alcons is in that place, and that person has a grudge against the nobles in the south of the empire, so I guess that he is most likely to be with these cavemen. Together."
"Our hands have indeed inquired that there has always been a mysterious human next to Tan Pu." The heavy male voice replied.
"It's him in all likelihood, how can ordinary people be with those monsters, especially this season." A newly added voice said, it was a somewhat hoarse accent.
"Can you find out where Tan Pu and his whereabouts are?" the woman's voice asked.
"It's not difficult. These monsters are probably used to burrows and are very uncomfortable with our buildings. We can easily approach their residences."
"Well, think of a way to arrange an ambush on his only way, don't get too close, that person is very powerful."
The young voice sounded again: "No matter how powerful he is, he can't dodge the Slaughter Demon Spear."
"There is nothing wrong with being careful," the heavy male voice reminded.
Then the others talked to each other a few more words, mostly related to some recent events. Xianni and the elf who were lying on the door quickly lost interest, and the conversation behind the door gradually lowered, and then there was another burst. The sound of dragging the debris, and finally with a heavy closing of the door, everything returned to calm.
"Are they gone?" Xianni asked after a while.
The two carefully pushed open the iron door. Behind the door was a small room filled with all kinds of debris-wooden boxes, barrels, damaged cabinets and iron shelves. The elf looked around and whispered. Asked: "Do you understand, what are they talking about?"
"It's nothing more than revenge. I've seen many humans, they are all like this." Xianni slapped her wings a few times and replied on the elf's shoulder.
"They are so boring, we don't care about them, we go find that bad guy to avenge ourselves."
"I always think you scolded us in too."
"How come, we are just revenge, not the same as them."
"Where is the difference?"
"You are not allowed to speak, Xianni." Those who are close to Zhu are red and black are black, and the little elf has learned the technique of turning anger into anger without a teacher.
The two walked up the stairs of the basement. They quietly pushed open the door of the basement. Outside the door was still a darkened corridor. The architectural talent of the Cruz people seemed to be limited to connecting aisles, rooms and stairs. When they got up and finally added the outer wall, there was no creativity at all. They cautiously passed the first floor of the bakery, but no one lived on the first floor. The rooms everywhere were empty, as if they had experienced a mopping up— There is still the peculiar smell of cavemen.
"Do you know how to get to the attic?" Xianni asked, covering her nose with her paw.
The elf didn't care at all, and sniffed and sniffed 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 went up secretly once."
"When?" Xianni asked in surprise.
"When you were away, there was a wild grape rack at the back of the house. It's easy to climb," the elf replied in a low voice, "but then it was accidentally caught by the curtain and fell and crushed the grape rack. There is no way to go up again."
"Later? You went up several times? What did you go up for?"
The elf replied, "I want to go up and see where the chubby guy hides the bread."
Xianni sneered at this answer: "Are you trying to steal bread?"
The former's face blushed slightly: "Who told him not to sell to us—"
"Have you ever seen someone who doesn't pay for things?"
"But the elf has no money."
"Oh!" Xianni scratched her face with two small paws: "It's so pitiful, let's discuss it."
"what?"
"This time, if you are captured by Aiquesha, don't say that I brought you out."
"why?"
"Because I don't want to die yet."
