Gently falling leaves to the surface of the water, rippling in circles, beside this meandering, calm stream sits a beautiful little cabin.

In front of the house, the old man leaned on the seat at the gate with a pestle and a cane, and sighed as if no one was around.

He had a pair of pointed ears and fair skin, long pale blonde hair tied back in a convenient braid.

Originally, the old man enjoyed the tranquility of the moment, and he had to clench his cane and raise his eyes to look at the fifteen unkind comers.

It was they who broke the peace???? Terrans dressed as soldiers, wearing red trench coats that hide the coat of arms of light armor.

"Is he really a 300-year-old elf? Why is it already so old? A young soldier asked quietly.

"You've only heard of elves in old stories, have you?" The veteran beside him responded, in his eyes, although the recruit has enough strength to participate in this mission, he is still a young man who is not deeply involved in the world, "I don't know why, after the continental war thousands of years ago, the life span of the elf race began to decrease sharply, and after two hundred years old, it shows old age, and the oldest elf will not exceed seven hundred years old." ”

"Seven hundred? It's a far cry from the thousands of years I've heard. The young soldier sighed, "But even so, it is much longer than the life span of the Terrans." ”

"Don't say it, the commander is going to speak." The old soldier's elbow touched him, and they both straightened.

"Barn of the Elven Clan, there were five talents in the Vermilion Kingdom last time, and none of them were released alive by you," the commander of the soldiers?? The middle-aged man in a black and red trench coat who was different from everyone said, "This time the kingdom has sent fifteen people, and the strength of each one is higher than the five talents last time. ”

As the Commander spoke, the elf named Barn scoffed and stood up from his seat.

"I confess that it was the military of the Vermilion Kingdom who underestimated you," the commander continued, "I wonder if this time you will be able to show your face and agree to a deal with us." ”

The commander clapped his hands twice, and the soldier next to him stepped forward with the box and opened the lid, which was full of high-grade magic crystals that were more valuable than treasures.

"Please go back." Barn, who had trembled a few steps with his cane, stopped and ordered succinctly.

"Why, aren't you elves particularly fascinated by high-quality magic crystals?" The commander asked, "The master of the Indigo Forest, your Elven King, doesn't he value the crystals of our kingdom, but he can't defeat the Vermilion Kingdom, can't plunder, and has to ask for peace and negotiation?" ”

"King Colin is a champion of peace, you ignorant people, don't say anything that displeases me!" Barn was furious, the metallic sheen of his hand flashing, and the wooden staff, which turned out to be a straight blade that could be pulled out, closed gently.

Could it be that this is to show that he is actually a weapon in his hands? Everyone was puzzled.

Xia Zuo behind the house was also puzzled - he held his breath.

[Breath Holding XP +7]

The message floating on the left side of the field of vision, the current level, holding your breath for two hours is not much of a problem.

He had no smell and bypassed everyone's eyes and ears when he appeared at the back of the house, and the tentative eavesdropping allowed him to figure things out.

Looking at the name on the top of his head, he knew that the owner of the cabin was not the Highness of the Moonwatch Moon that he was looking for, but an old elf named Barn.

His hostile strength is a new, unseen kingdom soldier.

There is a sword in Barn's staff... What Xia Zuo found can be the answer to Barn's behavior just now - next to the commander, a wound has appeared in the throat of a person, and he has not even noticed it.

When, exactly, was when Barn drew his sword an inch. He has extraordinary speed

This had to remind Xia Zuo of his skills at the moment. Although the elf himself is not watching the moon, the orb of light has led here, indicating that there are some clues to be gleaned from him... Not surprisingly, he should have a close relationship with Sangilf in order to master the same type of magic.

"Since you don't want a gift, then our trade items will have to be exchanged for something else." The commander said unceremoniously, gesticulating.

All the subordinates spread their hands, all of them were talented, and flames, ice, lightning, whirlwinds, and even higher-level light elemental bursting balls erupted in their palms.

"Is this your new chip? - Threats. Barn said disapprehantly.

The commander responded with a wicked smile, "Tell us the whereabouts of the illegitimate daughter!" ”

"Bastard?" Barn raised his eyebrows and looked around nonchalantly, "It's a shame to say that I haven't married a wife or a lover at the age of three hundred, let alone have any illegitimate daughters. ”

"Less garlic!" The Commander was furious, "You know, I'm talking about the illegitimate daughter of the Elven King and our late Queen! It's called Watchmoon, and if it's not happy, it's the day she turns 16! ”

Barn just smiled and didn't speak.

The commander waved his hand, ready to call everyone on.

"Before you do it, look at the man's neck." Barn suddenly reminded, "If there is faith to get out of here alive." ”

Everyone followed the direction of Barn's finger and found that the throat of the soldier next to the commander had inexplicably shed a drop of blood, as well as a shallow incision at some point.

The injured person is also an afterthought, and there is not much pain when he reaches out and touches it.

"The pain is looser where I chose to cut, but the next cut, you won't be so lucky." Barn took advantage of the threat, "Please leave, it's still too late, although I am a citizen of the Indigo Forest, and I shouldn't help His Highness the Moonwatch, who the Indigo Forest doesn't approve, but I have no reason to help you, for the sake of peace between the two countries, don't force me to kill the killer." ”

The wounded soldier was already frightened, and he took a few steps back tremblingly, and the ice crystals in his hand that had already been disenchanted were already in his hands.

"Rubbish! Afraid of what!? The commander rebuked.

"Have you heard... "The five gifted men who came here ahead," said the wounded soldier in a panic, "all of them died in an instant, and this was the news brought back by the soldier who was in charge of reconnaissance and did not participate in the battle, and at first thought that he had been phantomed... It turned out to be all true! ”

"Give it to me!" The commander ordered a circle of flames to surround the wounded soldier's neck, "This is not an illusion, if you don't die now, you will be charged with disobeying military orders!" ”

The wounded soldiers had no choice, and so did the other thirteen, who first bombarded at a distance and then charged, led by the commander.

As hard as possible, leave Barn to dig up the news in one go.

"Hey, since you're obsessed." Barn didn't care about it anymore, and with all his strength, he pulled out the straight staff knife completely.

Then the knife was retracted and sheathed, and with a click, the handle of the knife collided with the sheath.

Fifteen soldiers who were preparing their magical energy suddenly spurted a burst of blood mist from their necks, without exception.

He said something slurred, but his trachea had been cut flat, and he had to wave his hands and struggle before he covered their necks and fell.

All of them died in an instant.

"It's so unfortunate that this happened at the doorstep," Barn said helplessly, tapping his shoulder with his staff, "I have to carry the body to bury my old bones..."

At this moment, there was a sound of flapping wings from the sky.

Long Ge landed swiftly and retracted his wings, ignoring the fifteen corpses and killing them in an instant.

Instead, he looked around looking for Xia Zuo's whereabouts.

"Has the Vermilion Kingdom also begun to use the hands of the subhumans?" Barn spoke, but then noticed the small ball of light that swirled around Long Ge, poking out from the back of her head, "No... It seems that the person chosen by the mentor is why she is a tall Asian woman? ”
