Chapter 234: Intercepting the Dark Elves

Ignoring the guards below who were panicked by the loss of their target, Nia went straight back the way she came.

Finding the roof of the food store from above, Nia jumped straight from the roof. She landed not on the street, but on a deserted alley behind the food store. Almost no one passes by here, and Nia doesn't have to worry about making even a little noise when she lands.

Knocking on the somewhat dilapidated wooden door at the back of the food store, the food shopkeeper's humming voice came from inside: "Miss, are you sure that no one is coming?" ”

Nia felt both angry and funny. It had been the case before, and despite her long explanation, the owner had only let her leave through the back door.

In a flash, Nia slipped into the house through the crack in the open door.

Taking a breath, Nia explained to the two of them with anticipating faces, "She left, but she said she would go back when she left." ”

After listening to Nia's words, the shopkeeper, who was already sitting in his seat, was the first to get excited. "Why should she come back after she is gone, it is said that the city lord has a very strong guard, and she will definitely be arrested if she goes over."

Calmly turning her gaze to the food store owner, Nia said, "So can you tell us about the situation in this city?" The bandits hurt people in the streets, but the guards who heard the news instead arrested those who caused losses to the bandits. That's obviously not normal, isn't it? ”

With a light sigh, the food store owner began his narration, and from the narration, the reason why the city would become like this gradually appeared in front of several people.

Once upon a time, this city was as peaceful and peaceful as any other city. But just six years ago, the original lord was dropped due to some things, and the new lord was sent to the city, and the city soon fell into dire straits under the increasing taxes.

In the process, the people also rebelled, or sneaked out to report the situation to the government, but the rebellion was soon suppressed by the city lord's men, and the informers were quickly brought back and brutally killed.

Originally, the people had resigned themselves to their fate, but the incident did not end here. It didn't take long for a bandit organization to quickly establish itself from outside the city. No one knows why this bandit organization suddenly appeared, and it has the strength to quickly suppress all the bandit forces in the vicinity. But after some understanding, the people in the city were a little surprised to find that this bandit team did not seem to be afraid of the forces behind the city lord.

Rather than going on like this, it was better to give the city to the bandits, the people sent representatives to negotiate with the bandit leaders, and the results surprised the people - as long as the people could cooperate in the city, the bandits would capture the city.

The strength of the bandits seemed to be exceptionally strong, and even gave people the feeling of a formal army dressed in bandit clothes, and with the cooperation of the people, the bandits successfully broke through the city gate in less than half a day, and forced the city lord to come forward to negotiate in person.

However, something unexpected happened to the public. After the bandit leader and the lord of the city came out of the house where the negotiations were taking place, the bandits and guards suddenly began to arrest the people. After the negotiations, the two parties have colluded together.

After that, those who participated in the rebellion were reduced to slavery and ordered to work long hours day and night. The rest of the population, who did not participate in the uprising, lost hope. The once bustling town was actually dead.

The minions that Nia had seen before were actually not among the mysterious bandits that suddenly appeared, they were just ordinary bandits who were originally in the vicinity and were later co-opted, but even if they were such bandits, because of the collusion with the officers and soldiers, the people had nothing to do.

"Therefore, these two forces that are colluded with the status quo have strong strength and great background."

"yes, it's a pity for that girl. Obviously there are such good skills......"

"A few of you too. If something like this happened today, the city defense will become very strict in the next few days, so it's best to leave as soon as possible. ”

All in all, under the indoctrination of the food store owner, Nia finally came to the conclusion that neither the bandits nor the city lord were easy to mess with, and as for how bad it was, it was defined as 'very difficult to mess with'.

After saying goodbye to the owner of the food store, Nia and the three of them first found a hotel to rest, because of the incident in the morning, Nia and the others still have a lot of things to replenish, and it will take about an afternoon to make up.

After a simple lunch prepared at the inn, the three of them gathered around the house.

"After we've got our belongings in the afternoon, can we go straight back?" Amy asked, a little bored.

"I'm sorry, but I'm going to stay an extra day."

"To be honest, I'm still a little concerned about the presence of dark elves here." Nya said as she thought. When she noticed that the dark elves appeared here, Nia didn't pay much attention to it, but when she turned her head and thought about it=, Nia noticed something abnormal.

Dark elves only come to the outside world to experience in the name of diplomacy and other things after they reach adulthood. But the dark elf is obviously not very old, and normally a dark elf of this age will not be allowed to go to the human realm to train.

Although the thought hidden in her mind was not clear, Nia had a hunch that there might be some serious problems in the Dark Elf Realm that she had foreseen but did not want to imagine.

But do you know the possible consequences of doing so? You are likely to offend two intractable forces as a result. Sitana dissuaded, with a straight face.

"Of course I know that, but I don't need to be in direct contact with them, do I?" Yes, if you want to change the status quo of this town, not only the city lord, but also the bandits need to find a way to solve it. It's just that Nia didn't have to do it if she wanted to stop the dark elf.

"I really can't help you, so be more careful." Sitana sighed helplessly.

It took an afternoon for the three of Nia to separate up and prepare the supplies they needed next.

As it got dark, Nia slipped out of the inn alone.

According to the city lord's residence that she had inquired about during the day, Nia found a hidden place to hide. The Night Elves were still more accustomed to acting at night, so Nia had been waiting here for a long time.

Two hours later, just as Nia began to wonder if she would wait all night in vain, the Dark Elf girl she had seen during the day appeared.

Light as a civet cat, swift as a ghost. With the help of some dim moonlight, the dark elf girl sneaked quickly in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

The concealment strength of the dark elf girl is very strong, if it weren't for the other party just appearing on Nia's side, Nia might not even be able to detect it until the other party touches the city lord's mansion.

But now it is clear that this question does not need to be considered.

Extremely cautious, Nia moved in the direction of the Dark Elf Maiden.
