Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Night Elves
When Yang Chen came to the small courtyard where Xili was temporarily staying, he found that Xili was already in the courtyard.
She frowned and looked at the sky, as if thoughtful.
Yang Chen looked at Xili's appearance, did not disturb, stood at the door of the small courtyard, and also looked up at the sky......
But he didn't feel anything strange after watching it for a long time, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
Ciri vaguely felt that there seemed to be something different in the sky, but she couldn't say why, when she saw that Yang Chen was also frowning and looking at the sky, the ghost envoy asked, "See something?"
Yang Chen didn't speak, looked at the sky, then at her, and finally frowned and glanced at a bright light on the far border.
After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Yang Chen put his hands behind his back and said indifferently, "I just looked at the sky ......"
"What, what did you find?" asked Ciri, with some surprise in her eyes.
“...... Hmm......" Yang Chen said lightly, "I see that the sky is about to dawn......"
Hearing this, Ciri almost didn't flash his waist, it's almost dawn?
After looking up at the sky and thinking about it for a long time, I came to the conclusion that the sky was about to dawn?
Ciri glanced at Yang Chen and decided not to deal with this fool......
Yang Chen didn't have this kind of awareness, so he stepped forward and asked Xili with a solemn face, "Did you notice what happened last night?"
"Not ......at all," Ciri said with a light sigh.
Yang Chen chuckled in his heart, he also thought that Xili, as a transcendent person at the peak of the high-level, should be more or less aware of the assassination last night......
Looking at the incredulous Yang Chen, Ciri struck another heavy blow, "Not only did I not notice it, but even the secret guards who were protecting me didn't find the slightest trace......"
"You say, could it be possible to be a powerhouse in the Sky Realm?" Yang Chen asked.
"It shouldn't be ......," Ciri replied without thinking, "The Sky Realm shouldn't go to great lengths to assassinate a mere baron, and besides, with the influence of the Sky Powerhouse, there is no need to take action personally to bring down an ordinary baronial family......"
"But...... If it weren't for the sky, then with the strength of the dark guard, even a half-step sky could be detected in a lucid state!" Yang Chen retorted.
He also knew that there were a group of secret guards around Ciri, although he didn't know how many there were, but he could still feel the strength of the secret guards, at least at the very least, otherwise, with Ciri's strength, there was no need for ordinary intermediate guards to bring them!
And it is such a secret guard with advanced strength, in a state of being quite sober and alert, all of them have been deftly dodged, you can imagine how strong the strength of the person who shot last night should be......
"No......" Ciri seemed to think of something, and his eyes froze.
"What?" Yang Chen was a little stunned, in his opinion, if it wasn't for the sky's attack, even a half-step sky assassin would have traces left......
“...... In addition to the Sky Shot, there is also a race that can assassinate Heroda in such a way that it can be so unobtrusive in the half-step sky, or even in the high-level transcendent realm!" Ciri's facial expression at this time was unprecedentedly serious.
"What kind of clan is it?" Yang Chen was a little curious in his heart, every time he went to the Academy of Magic to ask Dean Boli about magic these days, he would go to the library to borrow books before leaving.
Although I don't dare to say that I know everything about the situation on the mainland, I also have a general concept, but I don't have the slightest impression of the race that Ciri said is good at assassination.
"I suspect that the Night Elves were the most likely to have done it......," Ciri conjectured.
"What?Night Elves?but...... They are not ......" Yang Chen was in disbelief at first when he heard these four words, and then he swallowed his saliva in fear.
Yang Chen, the night elf, is no stranger, according to legend, she is the daughter of the Earth Mother God and the family of the goddess of nature, Xiwei!
The Night Elves are themselves a high-level elves, and they come from the same source as the silver elves created by the goddess of nature, and they are all multiplied from the branches of the World Tree!
It's just that the Night Elves should have retired from the stage of history as early as the Ancient Period, along with the Silver Elves......
And so likely to appear in Noonan?
Not to mention going to the remote place of Kerry City to assassinate an ordinary nobleman in the middle of the night......
The elves living on the continent today are all secondary elves left over from ancient times!
Legend has it that the High Elves not only have a long lifespan, comparable to that of a god, but that every member of the High Elves is transcendent from birth!
And now the elves living in the eastern part of the continent not only have a lifespan of hundreds of years, but they are also like ordinary humans when they are born, and they need to cultivate from scratch!
Those forest elves don't have any peculiarities except that they live longer than humans and have a higher magical affinity!
It's impossible to compare to the Night Elves!
"Then how did you see it?" Yang Chen still couldn't believe it in his heart, and wanted to confirm it again.
"......" Ciri didn't answer immediately, but just looked up at the sky, glanced at the moon that had not yet completely set, and took a deep breath and said, "Because I just found that above the sky, near the manor, there is a trace of the breath of the law of the night......"
"That'...... What does this mean?" Yang Chen was puzzled......
"You know what?" said Ciri, looking at the night sky, "This world is unfair, and some laws and rules may be mastered by a certain creature!"
"Like the law of the night?"
"Yes......" Ciri retracted his gaze and explained, "There are still some rules that humans can't comprehend due to physical limitations......!
"As far as the former is concerned, there are also people among the human race who can comprehend the laws of the dark system, but for the variants of the dark system, the shadow, the dark night, it is extremely difficult for the human body to comprehend. Don't look at some thieves and assassins, using the shadow system ability is very simple and convenient, but let him try to comprehend the law of shadow......s? In the Shadow Plane, there lives a creature called the Shadow Dragon, and its dragon occupies 99% of the power of the entire Shadow Origin, and the remaining 1% is obtained by other creatures living in the Shadow Plane...... That's why it's so hard for humans to comprehend the Law of Shadows!"
"And the law of the dark night and the law of bloodline are also the same...... Its origin power already has its master, and any creature that dares to challenge and steal these two powers will be killed by a more powerful power comparable to that of the gods!"
Yang Chen couldn't help but shudder, "I can't tell you that it was the Night Elves who shot this time...... However, how can you be sure that this Night Elf is not in the Sky Realm?"
Ciri was silent......
She didn't have enough evidence to prove this with Yang Chen......
Ciri sensed two bursts of the Law of the Night in the sky above the manor, and the interval between the two eruptions was not long, maybe less than ten minutes!
In Ciri's opinion, last night's assassin should have used the law of darkness to cover himself with the law of darkness in order to confuse the public......
As for why it was transferred twice in less than ten minutes, if it wasn't for the assassin's other purpose, then the simplest guess was that the effect of the first night law did not last, causing the effect to dissipate before the assassin could get close to the target, just in case the assassin made up again!
And in the spell that dissipated in less than ten minutes, Ciri guessed that it was definitely not a sky powerhouse, and it might not even be a half-step sky, and it was most likely just a high-level one.
I have to say that Ciri is very talented in tracing traces and deduction and analysis, although he didn't see it with his own eyes last night, he also guessed eight or nine......
It's just that Ciri didn't guess right, last night's Night Elves weren't pure-bloods in the true sense of the word...... It's just a half-blood, so its strength isn't as low as Ciri guessed!
Not only is it not advanced, but its strength has even reached the half-step sky realm!
......
Not far from the city of Kree, a dusty old man belatedly arrived......
After a week of searching, he found that the target had long since disappeared!
Last night, this old man was resting in the mountains outside the city, but he noticed that a breath of the law of darkness suddenly erupted in the direction of Kree City!
The old man, who was about to pack up and prepare for bed, instantly fell asleep on the spot, hurriedly picked up the package, and ran towards Kree City!
But it's a pity that it's still a step too late, and the already weak law aura comes to an abrupt end when it reaches the city gate!
He could be sure that the person who cast the Night Spell last night was in this city, but he really didn't know where this person was hiding in the city!
According to common sense, it is difficult for an elf with long ears to hide himself in a human city, but everyone is not stupid, and walking the rivers and lakes will definitely hide some of their unique physiological organs...... Like ears?
The old man was ready to live here for a long time!
But just as he entered the city, he heard two guards muttering quietly.
"I went to see it yesterday...... John was right, there's really a new elf bartender in the Joy Tavern......"
"What do the elves look like? I've heard from others that the elves are very good-looking...... Is that so......"
......
The old man didn't listen carefully to the rest of the conversation, but when he heard that there really were elves hiding in this small city so grandiosely, something was wrong......
Say yes will hide your unique organs? Say yes won't reveal your identity?
Could it be that the Night Elf could be found so easily today?
The old man's mind was in a trance......
"The old man in front, go ahead...... I'm in a hurry......"
When the old man was pondering, a man's urging voice came from behind, it turned out that the old man had not gone forward for a long time, and the entire team entering the city was blocked at the city gate like that!
"Ahem, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... Let's go, let's go......"
So saying, the old man walked into the city with his body bent......
