Chapter 63: A Relative of the Elves

The mysterious gang with pointed ears halfway up the mountain caused Albert and his party to hurriedly hide in a hidden place and wait for an opportunity. A tall monster flashing out of the back of the gang was even more surprising. It was roughly two and a half adults tall, and it swayed when it walked, its crotch swinging widely, its chest in its mouth, its legs bent, and its back seemed to have a big cauldron.

The monster was tucked between the pointed ears, looking uncomfortable, constantly shouting something.

Several of the personal guards who came with Albert persuaded one after another: "Your Highness, this group of people is definitely not a good kind, that monster is so powerful, we must not take it lightly, it is better to quietly return to Birti City first, and then make a district." ”

Albert was reluctant to leave because he was worried about Claudia's relatives. Although the princess was very cold to him, and he changed from his original enthusiasm to indifference, he still didn't want to live up to the princess's entrustment.

Everyone spoke bitterly and constantly persuaded His Highness to be calm and not to act recklessly.

While Albert was still struggling, the group on the hill seemed to find them hiding in the shadows.

These pointy-eared, dark-skinned mystical races unexpectedly use a spell that is forbidden by the unwritten rules of Esoterion, similar to the teleportation used by the elf druid Melanie in Gled City, which is extremely demanding on the caster and temporarily interferes with the orderly flow of space and time at both ends of the teleportation. The Prophet Cyril and the first popes of the Tambolance Empire used this spell, but for various reasons it was strictly forbidden to practice it within the Church. Although those heretics are not restricted by this rule, there are still only a handful of people who can actually practice this skill, and there are very few and very few.

The strange gang halfway up the mountain was an eye-opener, and several of them cast this spell at the same time, teleporting the vast procession along with the tall monster to the flat ground only a few dozen meters away from Albert's hideout.

One of them shouted clearly: "Catch them, catch them, they want to live!" Immediately, with a wave of his big hand, several pointed ears beside him quickly rushed out, and the monster also patted its strong chest, and swayed in the direction of Albert and the others.

Best is agile, at such a critical juncture, he can't care much, pull up the corner of His Highness's clothes and gallop to the fast horse behind him, a few personal guards are well-trained, knowing their duties, they all stand up with their flesh and blood, blocking the way of the unkind guests on the opposite side.

The commanding guy in the pointed ears shouted loudly from behind: "Catch those two who want to run and kill all those who stand in the way!"

The pioneers were unequivocal, they were dressed in leather suits and held swords in their hands.

Although Albert's personal guards on Albert's side were dressed in iron armor, the pointy-eared people didn't seem to take this seriously at all, and they stabbed with their swords menacingly, and a few iron cans were also nimble, and after dodging, they were entangled with each other.

Seeing that Albert and Best were about to get on horseback, the leader's pointed ear took out a glowing fluorite bow from his back, and took out two sharp arrows from his waist.

This arrow is extremely unusual, it has time-delay and freezing magic on it, and as long as it is next to it, it will immediately lose the ability to act independently.

The leader obviously didn't want to take the lives of Xiao Ah and Best, so he resorted to this trick. The arrow was blunt and didn't do any other damage.

Several of His Highness's personal guards would not give up easily, and when they saw Albert and Best both fall to the ground, their hearts were furious, and evil was born to the side of their hearts, and their combat power suddenly rushed up. The situation that was originally evenly matched suddenly changed. A few sharp-eared pioneers could not withstand such a fierce attack, and turned their heads one after another, seizing their way and fleeing. There was a poor fellow, who ran a little slower, and was immediately chopped into meat powder by the cans.

Now the situation has become a duel between a tall monster and a few personal guards.

The monster is superior in strength, but it is slow to move, and turning around is a fatal weakness, these guards of Xiao Ah are well-trained and know the strategy, and they quickly dispersed, standing in different directions and positions, so that the monster has no way to take care of the front and back.

The leader's pointy ears seemed to appreciate the situation, and he was no longer in a hurry to send more men to support, but restrained his men from behind him to observe with relish. Obviously, this monster must be his right-hand work, and now is a golden opportunity to examine his work.

The tin can, who was behind the monster, was the first to attack, and he raised the blade in his hand and pounced on it, slamming it towards the monster's knees. The monster seemed to be aware of it, and barely reacted in any special way, as it slowly turned, raised its slender but muscular right hand in the air, and swung it at the tin can that had attacked it. It was a terrible moment, and because of the monster's height and long arms, no matter how agile you are, it will be difficult to dodge this deadly attack. The man was thrust into the air and slammed back to the ground, snickering from his pointed ears and a sigh from the other two tin cans.

They mustered their spirits and unleashed a joint assault, slamming down on the monster with their respective weapons. Although the sword is powerful, the monster is like a nobody, not only does it not feel pain, but the injured part will quickly integrate and recover at an astonishing speed.

Its return fire was still slow but deadly, and the other two tin cans still did not escape the tragic death, and they were solved with a few brushes, to put it mildly.

Albert and Best couldn't speak, their legs couldn't move, but their consciousness still existed, and they watched their side fall one by one, and their hearts turned upside down, so they were not sad.

The leader's pointed ears were smug and smiling, and although it was difficult to distinguish his expression on his dark face, this happy look could still be easily felt.

He and his men came to Albert and Best's side, first let the turtles in these two urns be tied firmly, and then waved their hands lightly, Xiao Ah and Best seemed to be relieved, and felt that they could control the movement of their hands and feet, but because of the binding, they were restricted to death.

The pointed ears glanced at Xiao Ah, who was broad-shouldered and strong, but with thin skin and tender flesh, and then at Best, who was slender and slender, paced and thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Who are you? Why are you following us?"

"Stalking you guys? There's no such thing at all, we're just passing by. Xiao Ah felt a little ridiculous.

"It's so deserted, you say you're passing through, where are you going?"

"Mount Taiping, the home of the old Count de Stini. ”

The pointed-eared eyes rolled around, and suddenly his tone softened: "You are from the Count of Destiny, is the old man well, has the earthquake hurt him?"

"He's dead. ”

"It's a pity, it's a pity!" although there was a hint of regret in the tone of the pointed ear, but it was more of a mockery, "Then I can be regarded as a mistake, and I actually killed him and several of his men!"

Albert felt a little incredible, how could the old earl know these strange people, he decided to hide his true identity first, and only admit that the old earl sent him, and then act at the opportunity.

Best remained silent, both because of his timidity and because he was trying to sneak out of the ropes that bound him.

He doesn't have any other skills, only this is a unique skill.

There was a glint of excitement in the slippery eyes of the pointed ears, and he made a suggestion that could not be refused: "In that case, then please take us two into the city of Birti." Then you will be free!"

"Absolutely. Albert was not ambiguous, and now he had to seize the slightest opportunity, but he still raised the question that he urgently needed to know: "It's okay to lead the way, but you have to let us know who you are, so that everyone can have a bottom in their hearts." ”

Pointy Ears replied dismissively, "We are elves." ”

Albert almost exclaimed, but fortunately restrained himself in time. In the church of Birty, what Krees said seems to have come true. These creatures call themselves elves, but they are dark-skinned, obscene, and bear almost no resemblance to their elven relatives on the ground, except for a pair of pointed ears. Why did they come to the surface, what did they want to do, how many of them were, did they cause the earthquake, did the old Count of Estini know him? These questions haunted Albert's mind, and he looked down on his situation, and now he wanted to know most about the answers to all these questions.

His Royal Highness was more clear in his mind at this most critical juncture, and he did not forget to ask about the things entrusted to him by Princess Claudia.

But the pointed ear just chuckled creepily and didn't respond positively. Obviously, the people in the old mansion are more than lucky, and it is very likely that they have been poisoned.

Albert is inconvenient at the moment, there are no reinforcements here, there is no response inside, and there is no chance of winning if he fights hard, so it is better to take them to the city of Birti, and then make a district prescription. Considering the other party's vast supernatural powers, he decided that he had to turn his face and make a break outside the city. He pinned his hopes on Krees and Tarun, trusting in their cunning and methods, and believing that the elite of his own principality outside the city could swallow up the elven lost in an instant.

Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
