Chapter Twenty-Four: Yulina's Waiting
Just when Lu Ming returned to his residence and planned to go to the Sky Chamber of Commerce to look for Yulina, he didn't expect to pass by the downstairs of the inn and see that the lights were still on in Yulina's room.
"Yulina, she's back?"
Lu Ming muttered to herself, she acted so fast.
"Lord Demon King!"
After Lu Ming appeared here, Lifa, who was hiding in the shadows, also showed her figure.
In order to prevent Yulina from discovering her whereabouts, she has been hiding outside, waiting for Lu Ming to come back and then go in together.
"She didn't find out, did she?"
Although he believed in Lifa's hidden methods, Lu Ming still asked her to be on the safe side.
"No, she didn't seem to expect someone to follow her."
Lifa replied.
Lu Ming nodded, it seems that Yulina's temperament is really relatively simple, otherwise she would not have been caught by humans in the first place.
"What did she do when she went to the Sky Chamber of Commerce?"
Lu Ming asked as he walked towards the store with Lifa.
Lifa slowly told Yulina about sneaking into the Sky Chamber of Commerce:
"After she entered the Sky Chamber of Commerce, she first went to the Chamber of Commerce's weapons warehouse and took away a elven bow and arrow that the Chamber of Commerce had not yet auctioned."
"Then she went to the chamber of commerce's office and looked at some documents, which I went to look at later, and they were all lists of people who were in charge of capturing slaves a few years ago, and she probably wanted to set her own goals."
"Then she came back in a hurry, she seemed to be very careful about the time, afraid of being discovered by us, and because she sneaked in halfway, she didn't have a conflict with the people of the Chamber of Commerce."
Lu Ming listened to Lifa's report and was silent for a while, and he could probably understand that Yulina went out this time, first, to get back her weapon, and second, she probably just went out to check the intelligence.
It seems that this elven girl is more kind and does not regard the entire Sky Chamber of Commerce as her enemy.
After all, this is a continent-level big chamber of commerce, and there are many factions in it, even if the head of the Chamber of Commerce of the Nocton Kingdom is only one of them, and there are people above him.
Then Lu Ming didn't think about Youlina's question, but asked Lifa:
"That Sky Chamber of Commerce, is there anything wrong tonight? Or rather, is there anyone who is not from the Chamber of Commerce who has gone in? ”
Lu Ming hoped to get information about the mysterious force that cooperated with the Sky Chamber of Commerce.
Lifa thought for a moment, as if recalling, and continued:
"There shouldn't be such a person, as the Demon King said before, this chamber of commerce has basically left because of the palace dinner, and there is nothing abnormal about it."
"But ......"
After thinking about it, Lifa added:
"When we left, there was a sudden commotion in this chamber of commerce, as if they had received some news and were planning to flee."
"Is that ......?"
Lu Ming nodded, there was no surprise, he knew that the Sky Chamber of Commerce had probably received the news of the failure of the person in charge, and then he was afraid of the revenge of the kingdom, so he planned to evacuate the Chamber of Commerce from the royal capital.
Before they knew it, Lu Ming and Lifa had already walked up to the second floor and came to their room, Lu Ming took out the key and opened the door.
In the room, Yulina didn't know when she fell asleep on the sofa, dressed in pale green elf leather armor, which looked a little messy, probably because Yulina didn't sleep honestly.
Lu Ming smiled lightly and planned to move her to the bed, but he didn't expect that as soon as he walked in front of her, Yulina opened her eyes.
"Hmm...... The host is back......"
Yulina sat up from the couch and rubbed her eyes, which she couldn't open, and spoke incoherently, as if she hadn't woken up yet.
"It's all said, don't call me master, call me brave!"
Lu Ming gently tapped his finger on the door of Yulina's head, and heard a lovely voice from the elf girl.
"Woohoo......"
Yulina glanced at Lu Ming aggrievedly, not knowing why Lu Ming liked to knock her head so much.
Lu Ming looked at Youlina who had just woken up and was disheveled, and a large area of white skin leaked out from under her clothes, of course, what really attracted Lu Ming was actually an elven bow and arrow that was pressed under Yulina.
This is probably the weapon that Yulina deliberately took out from the Sky Chamber of Commerce, and it doesn't look ordinary.
Youlina was still rubbing her eyes, not noticing Lu Ming's gaze, so Lu Ming also pretended not to see it, and said to Youlina:
"Sleepy, huh? Go and rest, don't wait for me to come back. ”
Yulina didn't go to rest in advance, obviously waiting for him to come back, after all, it was already late at night, and when Lu Ming returned here from the distant palace, it was already early in the morning.
But Yulina shook her head:
"No...... Yulina, but also warm the bed for the host......"
The elf girl covered her mouth and yawned as she said a proposal that made Lu Ming's heart move.
"Don't talk nonsense, go and rest, I'm so sleepy that tears come out."
Lu Ming shook his head, of course he wouldn't really let Yulina warm his bed, and after instructing her, he left the room.
As he had been assigned before, Yulina and Lifa ended up living in the big room together, and he went to sleep in the single room by himself.
"Woohoo......"
Yulina, who was abandoned here by Lu Ming, obviously looked lost, but she finally took her bow and arrows and obediently went to bed to rest.
When Lu Ming got up the next day, he was woken up by a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
Lu Ming went to open the door for the visitor with sleepiness, but he didn't expect to see an acquaintance outside the door.
"How was the Brave Lord's rest yesterday?"
The one who spoke was a young knight in silver armor, and he was also the head of the Kingdom Knights Order, Tyran, whom Lu Ming had met several times.
"Not good."
Lu Ming said quietly, he was called up in the morning, and it would be bad if he could rest.
"We have also come to you on the orders of the King."
Tyranl said with a smile on his face, and told him:
"Your Excellency, please go to the palace again today, something big has happened."
"What's the matter?"
Lu Ming scratched his hair, thinking that he had just returned from the palace yesterday and would be clean for two days, but he didn't expect to be invited into the palace again early in the morning.
"I don't know the specifics, I have to wait until you go to the palace to ask His Majesty the King in person."
Tyranl spread his hands, saying that he was just a messenger and didn't know much.
Sighing helplessly, Lu Ming had no choice but to agree, and said to the side of the door:
"Help me take care of Yulina, I'll come when I go."
Over there, there stood the head maid Lifa, who didn't know when she appeared there.
"Yes, sir."
Lifa nodded in agreement, and the head of the knights, Tyran, who was watching, had his pupils shrunk, he really didn't feel when Lifa appeared here, if it wasn't for Lu Ming to speak, he probably wouldn't know that there was already a person standing next to the two.
"Let's go."
Lu Ming patted Tyran's shoulder and took the lead downstairs.
