Roy's palms were covered with sweat, barely able to hold the short sword in his palm.

What a terrible man, if he were in the open terrain, a thousand feet apart, he could still have the confidence to fight with a bow and arrow. But now...... I can't beat it.

But if you can't beat it, you have to give it a try.

The guards in the dungeon will arrive in three minutes at most. At that point, there was really no hope.

As soon as his gaze froze, he was about to pounce. However, at this moment, Irelis spoke first.

"Young people, do you know that you have committed a great sin. Now lay down your arms and I can guarantee you not to die. Her voice was sincere, and it seemed that she was really excusing Roy for the sake of her kind.

"And what about her?" Roy glanced at Yasse beside him.

"It's all negotiable. ”

Roy groaned slightly, then smiled wryly. "Those who have just died should be your guards. If you can despise their lives like this, then how dare I believe you?"

"That's a shame. Irelis shook her head, but without showing a look of regret, she raised her hand and raised her bow to shoot!

“！”

Roy's muscles tensed violently, but he was surprised to see that the arrow was not aimed at him...... Her goal is Yasse!

'Smack. There was a crisp sound, and the short bow in the hand of the wood elf shattered.

No under the killer?

Roy rolled his eyes and noticed the figure sitting in the bars behind Ireleth. He was hiding behind a small chair, not saying a word, his pale yellow eyes burning with excitement.

So it turned out that Ireles had shot off Jassure's shortbow in order to keep Provantus safe first. Then, she should have the idea of capturing alive. As soon as he thought of this, Roy didn't hesitate any longer, he let out a low roar, and while Irelles' hand had not left the back of the bow, he rushed straight forward with his sword!

Since she has lost the first opportunity, then at least she must take the lead! With two against one, as long as she is not given the opportunity to draw her sword, there is no possibility of victory!

However, the huge gap in martial arts is not something that can be made up by a single first-strike advantage. Thieves and assassins aren't good at frontal combat, and not even if they're the top names in their industry?

If Roy had a longbow in his hand, he could match up with Irelis from a distance of a hundred feet. But now it's a ...... It's clear that there's no hope.

With only a bow, Roy's short sword and Yasse's twin daggers were lightly parried by Ireles. She even had room to speak.

"It's too late to surrender. ”

"Hmph. She was answered with a swifter sword.

"It's a shame that I've already given you a chance. She sighed softly, and the longbow in her hand slammed into an arc, and the vigor that poured out of it forced both of them apart.

It was only one step, but it was enough time for her to change into a more suitable weapon.

Oops...... Roy lamented in his heart.

In this world, the restrictions on the powerful swordsman are actually very great.

Like Hadava, when he put on the plate chain composite armor, held a steel round shield and a refined broadsword, and was full of potions, full of energy. Even on the battlefield, he was able to easily defeat ten elite warriors in the Storm Cloak while only suffering minor injuries on his own.

However, if he had no sword in his hand and no armor on his body, five well-coordinated and heavily armed soldiers would have been able to kill him with ease.

The more powerful the samurai, the greater the gap between the front and back of their armament. Even Cheng Dù, who can ignore the number of soldiers like Alice, can be killed by traps and stratagems after being calculated and unarmed.

And Irelis is still a little far from Alice's Cheng Dù, but she with a sword is not comparable to her with a longbow. With just a few swords, the siege was broken by her, leaving several wounds of varying shades on the bodies of the two elves.

"Strange, why haven't those guards come here yet?" she suppressed the two wolves in front of her, but there was a trace of doubt in her heart. No matter how sluggish the soldiers in this dungeon were, none of them would have risen until now.

So, what happened?

Just as she could think of it, there was a loud bang in the distance, followed by the collapse of rubble!

"Who's there!" Ireles exclaimed, but the sudden explosions and rapid clouds of dust from her side blocked her senses, and she instinctively swung her sword forward, only to be blocked by the people in the mist. By the time she finally dispelled the thick ash in front of her, the two unlucky elves were gone.

"Damn, let them escape. Ireles looked hatefully at the end of the stone wall, where a two-foot-wide hole had been blasted open in what had been used as a vent. You can even see the black and purple night sky from here.

She slammed her sword to the ground in anger with a loud 'clang'.

………………

Roy only felt the sky spinning, and the light and shadow in front of him quickly stretched into long strips. It was like being tied to a runaway wild horse and being slammed in the face by the night wind. By the time he came to his senses, he was already in a hidden alleyway.

The wood elf Yasse Moonstream was lying quietly on the ground, and it seemed that he couldn't get used to it and fainted. And right next to her, a guy wrapped in a cloak was standing.

This figure ...... Sound familiar?

"Are you ......," Roy said tentatively, "Alice?"

"Not exactly. A familiar voice came from under the cloak, "Alice, I should say." ”

She lowered her hood, revealing a delicate, pale countenance. Except for the rare golden red color of his hair and pupils, the rest of the qiē characteristics are consistent with Roy's memory.

"To be precise, you should call me Minnie Alice. Not...... Call it whatever you like. ”

Roy just glanced at it, and stopped caring about the details. The girl in front of him had that familiar feeling, and it was certain that it was Alice. The change of hair color and eye color is just something that can be done with a bottle of dye, and the reason for this is probably to perform some hidden mission. Although this kind of cross-dressing on Cheng dù doesn't seem to make much sense......

"You...... How's it going?" Roy hesitated for a moment and asked, "I've heard a lot about you, some say you're working for the lord in the Grey Swamp, some say you've joined a brother-in-arms, some say you've killed a dragon, and some say you've fallen out with the lord, but I've seen the announcement that you've been canonized as a baron. I'm going to get dazed. ”

"You've gathered a lot of information, and you're right. Minnie Mouse nodded and said.

"Huh?"

"When I was in the Ash Swamp, I was indeed on the orders of Barguf. I did join the comrades-in-arms group, and I was also ...... in Xueman Well, that's what you think. In the end, I was indeed canonized as a baron and fell out with Barguf. I can tell you about it slowly......" Minnie replied, telling Roy what had happened to her during that time. Except for the vague part about dragons, the rest is answered very clearly.

After all, the memories and ways of thinking that now govern this shell are the part of Minimneil that has been transformed into Alice. It's always a little unnatural to talk about the part of 'yourself' that is killed.

"That's right. Roy nodded heavily. "Is there anything I can do to help you? You're being hunted by the Assassins. He glanced at Yase, who was lying unconscious on the ground, with a complicated look in his eyes. "It's said to be a bounty issued by Avensi, and although you look stronger than before, it's still dangerous to appear openly in Snow City. ”

Minnie Mouse looked amused and said, "You can't help but underestimate me." How can I say that I am too...... Well. Got a dragon on the front. With the current situation, even if you can't walk sideways in this snowy city, at least no one can stop you from leaving. The reason why I am here this time is not only by coincidence, but more importantly, to settle accounts. ”

"Settle accounts, are you supposed to ......" Roy was taken aback and looked at the girl in front of him incredulously.

"Uh-huh, that's what you think. After all, Loristed has been well taken care of. The girl replied, "I thought it was Balguf's order, and I originally planned to dispose of Ireles, the head of the lord's party, and then kill his bloodline completely. But now it seems that things are not what I thought they would be, so the plan must be changed. ”

"That's fine. She pursed her lips and smiled: "I was a little hesitant before, if I kill the lord in one vein, then the defense of the snowy city will definitely collapse." If the Stormcloak men had invaded the city and killed too many civilians, Alice might have to blame herself for a while, but now she doesn't have to worry about that. ”

"Are you alright? It's only been a month, why have you become so ......" Roy looked at the girl in front of him worriedly, hesitated for a moment and didn't say the word 'conceited', but replaced it with another word that was more gentle, "Satisfied?"

"Oh. Ignore the idea that you've given up. Seeing Roy's strange expression, Minnie Mouse stopped continuing the topic. She turned her words around, and out of the corner of her eye, she casually glanced at the unconscious Yasse. "Speaking of which, Roy, you seem familiar with the Dark Brotherhood. Can you introduce me to that?"

"That's fine......" Roy replied, suddenly startled. "You're not trying to trouble those assassins, are you?"

"How is that possible?" said Minnie Mouse. "If someone stabs me with a sword, I will definitely go to find trouble with someone, how can I be angry with the sword?"

"I've just heard that the Brotherhood is more active in the Falkles area, and I'm interested in the land of trees and corpses, and I'd like to go over and check out their lair and ask who is putting the bounty. ”

"Don't lie to anyone, Alice!" Roy roared under his breath, his scarlet eyes staring directly into the golden-red eyes. "If you just ask for information, just contact the head of Xueman's brotherhood, if you want to know their lair from me, you just want to destroy it with people and swords!"

"Gee, I don't think I really have a talent for deception. The first time it failed. I'm so sorry. Minnie Mouse covered her mouth, the corners of her mouth slightly curled. "So, will you help me?"

“…………”

Roy hesitated, and several figures, strange or familiar, flashed through his mind. Finally frozen in a certain taciturn girl, her lips tightly pursed like a blade at least. He pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.

"The Brotherhood's power is huge, and they have taken root in every corner of the skyrim, and there is only one way to kill them if they are provoked. I'm not going to let you do anything stupid, Alice. ”

"Is that the case? Her brow furrowed slightly, but immediately relaxed. If she continued the conversation, or asked Roy for the unconscious Wood Elf assassin girl at her feet, then something she would not want to happen.

Well, so be it. There is always a chance in the future. If this hard-won friendship is damaged for this, then it is too worthless.

So she turned her head and said nonchalantly. "That's a shame. ”
