"I was just passing by and didn't see anything...... Uh, then don't bother. ”

……

Unexpectedly, I learned some bad news that was extremely unfavorable to me, so I immediately made a decision, swept away my belongings, and began to run away on a lizard. But after leaving Demon Blade City, in front of a wide passage, the sound of fighting was heard in the distance.

Standing in the way were two groups of dark elves who were fighting to the death. Unfortunately, this passage is what I am about to pass through.

Sneaking through the middle while both sides of the fight are obsessed with what they're busy with and have no time for him? Because of the Invisibility Ring, I didn't bring the Invisibility Elixir, but the Ring only works on my body, and I don't want to leave my mount and walk for the rest of the journey that may take days and nights, next time I'll remember to be prepared and bring a magic potion that can be drunk by the riding lizard, but the experience gained from this lesson will not help me for now.

Do you want to go the other way? However, the map in hand indicated that this passage was the way to go. Sure, there may be routes that aren't shown on this rudimentary map, but this is a dark place, and there's no danger of a dangerous underworld without anything, and I don't want to find my own way through the unknown, take a fork in the road, or even get lost, and end up running headfirst into some dead hole filled with acid or poisonous gas, or a carnivorous mushroom forest that erupts with suffocating spores.

Wait until they're done and then leave? Generally speaking, it doesn't take much time to fight in a group. But what if they don't plan to leave immediately after they finish playing, and stay and don't leave? Or maybe I'll turn back to Demon Blade City and head in the direction I'm now, and I'll have to avoid them? It's prudent to do this, but the problem is that I'm running away, so I'm in a hurry.

Maybe...... Drive the lizards directly to rush over, break through the fighting ground before they can react, and quickly leave...... This may seem reckless, but sometimes the most straightforward and simple approach is often the best approach. This is a wilderness, unlike the need to be cautious in or around the city, where open murder or war is punishable. In fact, the reason for punishment is often not the action itself, but simply because they are vulgar and rude in public. And outside the scope of the city's inspection, power is justice! Even a public rivalry between families is nothing, and it can only be regarded as a personal grudge between soldiers on both sides. Everyone knows that even in the city, when there is a family war, because of the traditional etiquette, the dark barrier will be used to block the peeps from outside, but at that time, all the public places in the city were actually full of spectators, but only the surviving parties were qualified to file a complaint and become witnesses. Therefore, at this moment, I only need to worry about being accidentally injured by the warring parties, but after I break through, I don't have to worry about being chased and killed, because everyone will act as if nothing happened.

My considerations are thoughtful, my approach is appropriate, the only thing that is not appropriate is the timing...... As I drove the lizard to run over, the battle was coming to an end.

As the last soldier on one of the sides fell, all those still standing looked at me vigilantly and with hostility - unidentified intruder!

I hurriedly declared that I was not hostile, just a passerby.

The dark elves in front of me cleared the way without a trace. Everyone turned a blind eye to the bloody corpses on the ground, and put on the appearance that nothing had happened at all.

Of course, this is only superficial, and I know they don't let their guard down because I'm gullible about a few words, as the Dark Elves have a saying: any trust is stupid. Even parents and brothers can't be trusted, let alone the statement of an intruder of unknown origin.

I glanced at the family crest they were wearing. Unlike in the city, where members of other families must cover their family crests in public places outside their official residences, only members of the first family can generously expose their crests. It is not necessary to continue to follow this rule outside the city. Therefore, I continued to hide the family crest, which must have seemed even more suspicious to them.

Small family. I made a judgment, although their family crest looked a little familiar, but it was not the first few families that I felt necessary to memorize. This gave me a little more certainty, although I didn't show the family crest that represented my identity, but anyone with a little insight could see that I had magical equipment, and even some nobles of small families might not be able to have it. This means that if I am either of great personal ability, or belong to a powerful family, or both, they will not act rashly without my certainty.

Carefully drive the lizard to trot in the open space where the other party gets out of the way, and then you can say that you will continue to drive indefinitely.

But at this time, he found that a figure stood still in front of him, without the slightest intention of avoiding.

The dark red robe with black edges, the snakehead whip in her hand, and her arrogant expression all indicate her identity, a damn priest of Rose!

I didn't want to make trouble, so I pulled the reins and tried to get past the priest.

With a "snap", the ground in front of the lizard was whipped by the snake's head whip and the gravel burst into flight. Trouble will come its way.

"Man, you haven't saluted Rose's priest yet!" She shouted in a commanding tone.

Depend on! Although regardless of the gender of the aristocratic woman or the identity of the priest, the status is higher than that of the man who is also a nobleman, even if the powerful aristocratic man of the big family has to maintain respect for the priest of even the weakest family on the surface, if the priest completely ignores the strength of both sides, speaks inferiorly, and humiliates at will, it will also attract the disaster of secret killing. What's more, in the wilderness where strength is justice, in the face of men who don't know the depth of their roots, they actually shout at will!

Am I underestimating the arrogance of Priest Rose? Or is she stupid beyond my imagination?

I lowered my face and put my hand on the hilt of my sword. If you are tough, you may anger the other party, but if you deal with weakness, you are afraid that the other party will gain an inch.

The priest seemed very dissatisfied with my hesitation and did not respond, and glared sternly, but ...... I could clearly see that the corners of her mouth unconsciously slid a trace of cunning.

Bad!

I drew my sword sideways.

A long dagger grazed against my left arm, leaving a trail on the leather-encrusted armguard. If I hadn't turned sideways in time, the slender dagger would have pierced through the gap in the back of my breastplate, into my back ribs, and diagonally into my heart!

"I'm sorry!" The guy who sneaked up on me missed the blow and quickly retreated, out of the range of the longsword. With a sincere smile on his face, he shouted again and again: "Please believe it, this is just a small ......"

His face suddenly distorted, and he didn't know whether the words that followed were "misunderstandings" or "accidents" or something else, and finally turned into angry voices, spilling out with difficulty with blood. But it was cut off by the "heart-lovers".
