As an undead, Su Yan doesn't need to sleep or eat.

And as long as he doesn't suffer irreparable damage, his ability to recover is much faster than that of most species in this world: as long as there is enough dead air, his injuries can recover quickly in a short time. It can even be said that as long as he is not killed, he will never die.

In a sense, he can probably be classified as an immortal species.

So far, what Su Yan has learned is that there are indeed immortal species in this world, including dragons, vampires, giants, and so on.

However, what is the strength of these existences, Su Yan can't confirm it.

There does not seem to be a being in the kingdom of Tria who can speak to these creatures on an equal footing.

As a unique immortal species, the reason why Su Yan has behaved like a regular normal person in the past few days is actually fishing.

He didn't expect that the people of the Brilliant Gem Chamber of Commerce would come to the door to find him so quickly.

Originally, he thought he would have to wait a few more days.

But at least through this incident, he has obtained several proofs: the other party is indeed designing these elves, and wants to put these elves on the opposite side of the entire northern realm, forcing the lord of the northern realm, Prince Ahrens, to order the arrest of these elves.

But what the specific reason is, Su Yan is not clear.

This puzzle piece is still a little incomplete.

However, on the way back to the villa, Su Yan met another person he didn't really want to meet.

Deputy head of Tedmis's Rose Mercenary Regiment, Sun Knight, Tony.

But this time, there are two other people by Tony's side.

One man and one woman.

"Today doesn't seem like my lucky day." Su Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I didn't expect so many people to look for me." ”

"Oh?" Tony glanced at Su Yan thoughtfully, looking a little puzzled, "There are a lot of people looking for you?" Why do you think we're coming to you too? Couldn't it be that we met by chance on the road? ”

"Huh." Su Yanpi let out a laugh without smiling, "This is far away from the Mercenary Guild, and it is not close to your mansion, besides, this is not a shopping street where people like you will go...... By all accounts, it's clear that you shouldn't be here, so do you think I believe you and I met here? Mr. Tony. I had no other ideas than to come to me. ”

"Look, I'll just say this guy is very shrewd." Tony shrugged, "Well, we're indeed here for you. But this time, it's not that I want to come to you, it's that this gentleman wants to come to you. ”

Following the direction where Tony stretched out his hand, Su Yan saw a middle-aged man with dark chestnut hair. He has high cheekbones, deep eye sockets, and a thick beard, which makes his facial features not only look very three-dimensional, but also have a very strong male charm.

At least, Su Yan knew that there were many women in this world who liked this type of man very much.

"Chief Guard, David?" A name suddenly appeared in Su Yan's mind.

"Oh? Looks like you know each other? Tony's tone seemed a little curious, but his expression didn't look like he was genuinely surprised, "Then save me the trouble of introduction." ”

Su Yan's gaze looked at the lady in the middle again.

"This is our captain, Sophia." Tony shrugged, "Our head of the regiment said he wanted to see you in person, so he came along." No way, of all the people present, I am the only one who has seen you, and I can only lead the way. ”

"Okay." Su Yan nodded, then withdrew his gaze from Sophia's body.

This lady is of ordinary appearance, and her clothes seem to be ordinary, but in fact the material is very elegant, and it is obvious that only those who are well-born and truly noble. And when the other party stood between several people without opening her mouth, her momentum was very weak, and it was almost easy for people to subconsciously ignore it, if it weren't for Su Yan's very sensitive to the breath of life, he would almost never have noticed that someone was standing here.

It was in this situation that Su Yan realized that this woman had very sharp eyes.

However, for Su Yan deliberately locking his eyes on herself, Ms. Sophia was also very impressed by Su Yan.

"Let's find a place to sit down and talk." It was Davy who spoke.

Apparently he is the leader of these people.

Tony's statement that he had something to do with him was clearly not an excuse.

Su Yan was noncommittal about this invitation.

"I know of a place that's not too bad." The place Su Yan said was naturally the restaurant he had been going to a lot recently, and the cakes in it were very distinctive, and Anna especially liked the strawberry cakes in it.

Because it's not yet time for afternoon tea, there aren't many customers in the store.

After Su Yan and the others asked for a place near the corner, they just ordered a few cups of tea at random.

However, Su Yan asked for a few more cakes and was ready to pack them back.

"The little ones in the family prefer to eat the family's cakes." Su Yan didn't feel embarrassed, and today's harvest also made him feel very good, "Okay, let's get down to business." ”

"Business?" David raised his eyebrows, he and Sophia glanced at each other, and it was easy to see that all the rhythm so far was controlled by Su Yan.

"Before we get down to business, I'd like to ask." David turned his head to look at Su Yan, and then spoke, "This place should be the place you deliberately chose recently, Mr. Levy." …… All of us will be able to find you here. ”

"Oh? See? Su Yan did not deny it.

"This shopping street is one of the two largest ingredient markets in Akara City. However, compared to the commercial street next to the Merchants' Guild, there are mostly raw materials here, so it is more in line with the market price in the north, and this is basically the area with the largest flow of mercenaries in Akara City after the Mercenary Guild. Sophia spoke, her voice distinctive, with an unforgettable clarity, "But I think Your Excellency Levy likes this place because this shopping street is well-connected, and as long as you blend in with the crowd, you can easily leave here." ”

Su Yan smiled noncommittally.

He chose this shopping street, not only because it is indeed the largest raw material market in the whole of Akara City, but also because it has enough foot traffic. If he has to fight the enemy, then he can cause enough chaos here. When the time comes, no matter how he intends to act next, the initiative on the battlefield will be in his hands, not in the hands of the enemy.

"I suppose Mr. Lévy should know what I've come to you for." David spoke again.

"Of course." Su Yan nodded, then took a sip of honey tea, "Come for the elves of the Council of Elders." ”

"Yes." David said in a deep voice, and his demeanor became serious, "I have a few words about this matter that I would like to ask you face-to-face. ”

"I also have a few questions I'd like to ask before I answer." Su Yan didn't answer the rhetorical question, "The relationship between the Tria Kingdom and the Council of Elders ...... How is it? ”

David paused for a moment, not expecting Su Yan to ask such a question.

However, he quickly replied: "It seems that Lord Lévy knows something. …… Let's put it this way, the relationship between the Council of Elders and the Kingdom of Tria is a little strained. There was a war between the eastern border of the Tria Kingdom and the Council of Elders that lasted for a hundred years, although the main reason for the war was caused by the desire of the Tria Kingdom to expand the eastern territory at that time, but that war was ......"

"The Kingdom of Tria has lost?"

David nodded: "I lost, so I can't expand the eastern border so far." However, in fact, today, the East Forest, which is controlled by the Council of Elders, has also become a natural barrier for the Kingdom of Tria to stand in the east. However, the people of the Kingdom of Tria were not very satisfied with this situation, especially the inhabitants of the eastern realm. ”

"Let me guess." Su Yan opened his mouth and said, "With the importance that elves attach to the forest, all those who want to enter Dongsen to hunt or cut down have been expelled. So there may not have been any war and conflict between the Eastside and the Council of Elders, but the small conflicts should never stop? ”

David smiled wryly and nodded, "Yes." …… That's why when I heard that the elves of the Council of Elders appeared in Acala City, they would come to you as soon as possible. ”

"It's not the first time." Su Yan pursed his lips, "It's been almost five days since those guys came back with me. ”

"I need to get in touch with His Royal Highness, and I need to investigate...... Circumstance. David explained, "Trust me, I'm making this decision for the best of everyone's interest. ”

"I know." Su Yan didn't intend to get tangled up on this topic, "So, I want to know, what will happen if the elves of the Council of Elders are found to have tangible evidence of murder, or if these guys are killed in the north?" ”

Hearing Su Yan's words, David's face changed suddenly: "Could it be that they...... Is it true that the news that a caravan from the Brilliant Gem Chamber of Commerce had been slaughtered recently began circulating in the city of Acala? Did the elves do it? ”

"Cut." Su Yan sneered, his expression was very disdainful, "This is what I'm going to say." ”

"Huh?" David and others, some don't quite understand.

"This thing was designed by the people of the Bright Chamber of Commerce." Su Yan opened his mouth and said, "Although I don't quite understand why the people of the Bright Chamber of Commerce want to do such a thing, but in fact, they are indeed luring those elves along the way. Perhaps in the plan of the Bright Chamber of Commerce, someone would have witnessed those elves committing murder at the last moment, but I think they may have underestimated the combat power of those elves. ”

"It's not your average trial team, is it?" It was Sophia who spoke.

"Yes, all of them have the strength to be close to the candidates, and they work well with each other." Su Yan shrugged, "So I'm wondering what kind of thing would happen if people were to witness these elves indeed killing a caravan and guard in human territory?" ”

"If this is the case, then Prince Ahrens will have to order the capture of these elves." David's brows furrowed, "If these elves dare to resist, we even have the right to kill these elves on the spot." However, in this case, the already fragile peace between our kingdom of Tria and the Council of Elders is likely to be shattered by this, after all, nine months ago, the ancient tower fortress had tried an elf without normal procedures. ”

"Trial?" Su Yan let out a sneer, "I don't know what kind of trial requires the dismemberment of a female elf. Cultist sacrifices? ”

"Uh......"

was robbed of by Su Yan like this, and David didn't know how to speak.

On the contrary, Sophia glanced at Su Yan thoughtfully: "Your Excellency Levy's news is also very well-informed." ”

"I'm a mercenary, so I'm better informed to survive." Su Yan pursed his lips, feeling very bored about Sophia's temptation, "All in all, the current situation is that the people of the Bright Chamber of Commerce have designed to force these elves to make a big mistake. But due to their underestimation of the strength of those elves, and my unexpected appearance, their follow-up plans could not be implemented. ”

"Why would the Brilliant Chamber of Commerce do this?" David didn't quite understand.

"Maybe it's to bring disaster to the east." Su Yan shrugged, "Who knows." ”

"How is this possible......" David chuckled and shook his head.

But the next moment, his expression gradually became serious and solemn.

Davy and Sophia glanced at each other, and both saw each other's surprised looks, obviously guessing something.

"Impossible, right? Duke Guta shouldn't have such guts. ”

"It's hard to say, after all, it was the Duke of Guta who promoted the Northern Expedition plan back then, but it was Prince Ahrens who finally became the Lord of the North, Duke Guta worked hard for most of his life, but in the end he found himself a stepping stone for Prince Ahrens, no matter who it is, it won't be good, right?" Sophia spoke, "Moreover, Prince Ahrens is still the most loyal royal party, which is indeed not in the interests of the border nobles. ”

"Oh, yes." When Su Yan heard this, he knew what these nobles probably wanted to do, "Maybe you were too busy, so you didn't notice." Recently, the price of grain in the north has been very high, and merchants have rarely brought grain over, but are willing to pay a lot of money to buy grain in the north. What does this mean, I think you should know very well, right? ”

Sophia glanced at Tony, who shrugged his shoulders and said she didn't know.

"If you don't understand the situation, then the prices of all weapons and iron ore have doubled recently." Su Yan spoke again, "According to these indications, it is clear that someone wants to push for another war in the north. …… I just thought that the lords of two places were planning to fight, but judging from the current situation, I am afraid that someone is planning to let the northern realm fight with the Council of Elders. ”

"It can't be." David immediately denied it, "The Council of Elders is in the East Forest, if they really step out of the East Forest, the first thing to bear the brunt of it must be the East Territory." ”

"But don't forget, there is an elven envoy in the Guta Fortress right now." Su Yan opened his mouth to remind, "According to the extravagant style of the elf clan, do you guess how many elves there are in the ancient tower fortress now?" …… According to the five elves I brought back, there are now more than three hundred elves on the side of the ancient tower fortress, and they are also the elven escort of the Council of Elders, led by three heroic powerhouses. ”

"Even so, they can't fight with us in the north."

"Nope." Sophia shook her head, her face becoming very solemn.

She is a true nobleman, and she is better at playing with intrigue than the mere chief of the guard, David. So naturally, her reaction was also faster than David's, and when she heard Su Yan's words, she had fully realized the real problem.

"War is not an end, but a means." Sophia glanced at Su Yan deeply, she had already realized that this mercenary was not simple, "As long as those five elves have an accident here in the northern realm, then the envoy group of the Guta Fortress will definitely give up negotiations with the Duke of Guta for the time being." Or at the very least, let one of the heroes and powerhouses lead a team to the north to inquire about the situation. ”

"Yes, that's how it should be under normal circumstances......"

"But what if this elf powerhouse who led the team also encountered an accident? What if they were attacked again in the north, or even a new round of unnecessary casualties? Sophia spoke, "Then the war between the Kingdom of Tria and the Council of Elders will definitely break out again." Then, unless we can defeat the elven army of the Council of Elders, if the war is lost, then who will bear the responsibility? ”

There was already sweat running down David's face: "His Royal Highness Prince Ahrens ......"

"Yes, only His Royal Highness Prince Ahrens." Sophia nodded, "The Old North has never been under the control of the Duke of Guta before, and it has even been able to ensure logistics, not only to launch a northern expedition, but even to allow the Kingdom of Tria to achieve complete victory in the northern expedition." …… So in the situation that Prince Ahrens has to be responsible for, is there anyone more suitable to take over the North than the Duke of Guta? ”

"This ......"

"And." Sophia said in a deep voice, "His Royal Highness Prince Ahrens, the relationship with the underground organizations of the Fallen Hand is also well known. However, the Duke of Guta is not exclusive to these underground power organizations. This is no longer a simple aristocratic dispute, and even involves enough entanglements of interests to make countless nobles excited. …… Perhaps only the Duke of Guta would not dare to make such a crazy plan, but what if the entire border nobles of the Old North were moved? ”

This time, it was Su Yan's turn to look at Sophia with some surprise.

He found the clues of the war in various clues, but the specific reason was not clear, and it was not until he had just obtained the last piece of the puzzle from David that he realized that this war against the North was not the end goal, but just a means.

But what he didn't expect was that Sophia not only saw it as well, but also saw farther than he did.

This woman is not simple.
