Act Eighty-Three: Into the Night III

The two of them argued as they walked up the stairs on the first floor to the second floor, but their voices were as small and thin as their stature, and no one noticed. The second floor is still a long hallway, with several guest rooms on either side of the corridor, and the doors are closed and dark, so that it is impossible to guess whether the people who lived before them are in the back. But most of the time, because as the two of them tiptoed past several of the doors, they heard a faint conversation coming from behind the doors.

They ought to have hurried through such a dangerous place, but the elf listened with interest from room to room, and in the first room the voice of the heavy man and the young man called Effie were talking, and the two seemed to be discussing the previous plan, and she could not understand a word, so she left the door in disappointment and went to the next. Shanni lay on her shoulder, and instead of stopping her, she asked curiously, "Who is inside?" ”

The elf shook his head, indicating that there was no sound inside. She walked on, and inside the third door were two voices she hadn't heard before, and she thought they were two of the six who hadn't spoken.

"These two people are the boss's guards." After listening for a while, she said to Xianni as if she had discovered some secret: "This candy shop must be doing a big business, and even the proprietress has a guard. ”

"Because she's not a lady at all." Shanny replied.

"Why, why do you say that?" The elf asked rhetorically, raising an eyebrow.

"Okay, I'm not going to fight with you, you say yes just-"

The two of them continued on to the fourth, the last door, and not far away was the end of the walkway, where there was a staircase leading to the attic, and the elf stood in front of it. Listening carefully to the sound inside the door with pointed ears, it didn't take long for her to hear a strange voice: "It seems that someone is talking." ”

"Is it the old man and the woman?" Shanny asked.

The elf listened and said, "It doesn't seem to be, it's the old man and another old man." ”

"Why, isn't that seven people!"

"Maybe there was a person who didn't go down before, and there always needs to be a release."

Shanni thought about it for a moment, and then asked, "What are they talking about?" ”

"The first old man is reporting something to the second old man. The second old man asked the first old man how things were going, and the first old man said that he was going well. Then they said something that the elves didn't understand, something or something, long live or something, but it was strange. Then the second old man urged the first old man to hurry up, and the second old man seemed to be complaining about something. ”

"Enough is enough, you're making my head dizzy," Shannie hurriedly interrupted her, "Can you put it simply?" ”

"But I don't understand what they're talking about!"

Shannie glared at her angrily, "You're such a complete idiot. ”

Pori. The Anvil has a well-known name, and as a dwarf, he is a member of the famous Anvil family. However, unlike his compatriots who drilled tunnels in the mountains, he longed for the outside world rather than boring tunnels, and he was an outlier in the eyes of everyone, so he also left his people early to wander into the human world. Today, he is already a well-known alchemist with a decent identity. Receiving a rich annuity, he lives a privileged life that those compatriots in the tunnel dare not imagine. He doesn't regret his choice at all, and he is even proud of it, but that doesn't mean everything goes well, and sometimes he still has to face some troubles.

At this moment, for example, he had to mumble and complain about erasing the circle on the table, so that the damn face that he didn't want to look at even if he gave him five hundred gold eagle coins would disappear.

"Damn it!" He said to himself, "He said it easily. It's good if you just do this, just like that, hell, why didn't he try it himself? ”

He couldn't help but complain in a rough voice: "I'm an alchemist, not a secret agent. But those guys are the real spies, and if they are not careful, they will take me out, peel me skin, and pull my tendons, and I dare to swear in the name of Mother Earth, those cold-blooded people will not even blink their eyes more. Hell, if it weren't for my money obsession, I wouldn't have come to this troubled water, okay, even so, don't think that Uncle Pori is easy to mess with, hmph, next time you dare to talk to me like this, Uncle Pori won't do it, let you fools understand that the manhood of the Anvil family will not be moved by mere wealth! ”

The dwarven alchemist opened the drawer as he spoke, and the drawer was full of bottles and jars, these were all potions he had refined—of course, these were not too valuable potions, so he dared to put them here temporarily, those truly precious potions, Pori had always kept close to him. He took out a green paper packet from it, and then carefully opened it, this is a copy of the dust of dragon's sleep, wizards often use small doses of this potion as incense to guide meditation, but in fact, large doses of dragon's sleep dust have a strong hypnotic effect, and this alchemical potion is not uncommon, so alchemists are very fond of using it to protect themselves.

Although Pori inherited the big voice and bad temper of the dwarves, he rarely possessed the meticulousness of an alchemist, and like most people who deal with magic, they all have one thing in common - they care for their lives. Therefore, before going to bed every day, he used to make a simple trap with the dust of dragon sleep, in case some young man came to steal his things, or even kill him for money.

He picked up the dust of the dragon's sleep, and still felt uneasy, grabbed a seed of the Shining Tree from the drawer and stuffed it into his purse, and then walked towards the door - but on this day, he came to the door with the paper bag containing the dust of the dragon's sleep, but unexpectedly heard two cooing voices outside the door.

"Nonsense, you're stupid, it's not like you don't understand!"

"That's because you're so badly described!"

"Xianni, who can't even understand the description of the elf, is useless at all!"

"Then there will be no useful people in this world!"

"Lawlessness!" Pori thought in his heart, he subconsciously thought that there were two thieves outside his door: "Even the night thieves dare to swagger in front of the victim's door to discuss the distribution of the spoils, and they also blatantly argue, do you really think that those Qiaogendigang's rats are coming, and there is no righteousness here?" ”

The dwarf angrily opened the door, and it clicked open. One person and one dragon are exposed.

The two of them were arguing at the door without any sense of crisis, and they didn't expect the door to open suddenly, and they stayed there at the same time, a little elf, a pseudo-dragon, and an old dwarf holding the dust of the dragon's sleep. The three of them just stood there staring at each other, looking at each other.

"Who are you?" Pori was stunned, even if the dwarf uncle complained a lot, he would not think that the inexplicable cute little girl at his door was a night thief.

But as soon as he spoke, a cold wind suddenly blew outside the window of his room, and the cold wind in winter was so biting that the dwarf couldn't help but shiver, and the elf opposite him opened his mouth wide: "Hello! With a small sneeze, a dark green cloud of smoke suddenly spread from Pori's hand. Enveloping himself, the elf opened his eyes and had barely seen the scene when the dwarven alchemist fell to the floor with a thud.

The sound of the dwarf falling to the ground was so deep that a vigilant inquiry immediately came from the next room: "Who's outside!?" ”

Both Pixie and Shannie opened their mouths, apparently unexpectedly they were going to mess things up—to be discovered—that was their first thought—what to do? It was their second thought, and then there was no third, and the two of them seemed to be stunned, and the men must have opened the door and come out to check it out soon. And at this time, even if they ran up to the attic, it was too late, let alone there were people in the attic. They were at a loss for a while, and they didn't know what to do.

Several sounds of turning doorknobs rang out in the aisle at the same time, and the elf was terrified, "Use the cloak!" Shanny screamed and reminded her, and the former seemed to react at this time, and hurriedly pulled up his cloak to cover himself and Shanny. The figures of the two disappeared into the aisle in an instant.

The first to open the door was Delphien, who had heard the elf describe the woman as beautiful, but when she actually saw the other side, she realized that she was right, the human girl was wearing a long violet dress, and her long waterfall braided hair hung down to her waist. Ebony hair color, in Cruz and Eruin, only people with Minr blood can have such a pure hair color, black represents mystery and ominousness in Cruz culture, but in her body it complements her own quiet temperament, her eyes are like stars, her nose seems to be cut and carved from jade, her slightly pursed lips have a magic that makes any man crazy, she stands there, her perfect figure can't hide even the night, Even if some people think that she is the goddess of the night, it seems to be a matter of course.

The others also opened the door one after another, and then came a tall and strong man with a two-handed giant sword, two men dressed as guards, and a young man in a silver robe.

"Pori!"

"What's going on!"

The two-handed swordsman reacted the fastest, he drew his greatsword and walked to the door of the dwarven alchemist's room, but when he looked inside, the room was empty, and it didn't look like someone had invaded. But of course he didn't expect that right next to him, the elf and the fairy were hugging each other, shivering, although the elven cloak could hide their figures, but they could not move, and there were no obstacles in the aisle, as long as these people walked a few steps, maybe they could run into them.

Delphine frowned, looked at the stairs leading to the attic and said, "Go up and check!" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Elf and Shannie were almost hugging each other and crying, for they were hiding at the top of the stairs leading to the attic, and it was impossible for them not to be spotted as long as they passed by.

Listening to Delfin's order, the tall swordsman immediately put away his greatsword and turned to walk towards the attic, but before he could take a step, a cold voice came from the attic:

"If I were you, I would choose to stay there."

This sudden voice made everyone stunned.

But Shannie was desperately glaring at the elf—she remembered it vividly, it was the same voice that knocked them out of the sky in the first place.

Hearing this, Delphine first motioned for the swordsman to stop, then raised his head and asked, "Who is Your Excellency, and what did you do to Pori?" ”

There was a moment of silence in the attic.

Then the voice replied, "I'm just like you." You're a temporary guest here, and what happened to your companion has nothing to do with me. ”

At this time, the tall swordsman had already taken the opportunity to check the state of the dwarven alchemist, and he found that the other party was lying on the floor and sleeping, not looking like he was injured, and he dipped his hand in some green powder on the floor and sniffed. showed a sudden look: "It's the dust of dragon sleep." ”

"Pori is careful, he will never make such a trouble," Delphien replied as soon as he heard this, "even if the dust of the dragon's sleep is his own, but something must have happened just now, and I clearly heard the voices of other people when I came out - lady in the attic, I don't mean to offend you, but I think you must understand what just happened, right?" ”

As soon as the two people hiding under the cloak heard this, they understood who she was talking about. They didn't expect the guy in the attic to be so powerful, they even knew everything that was happening below, and when they thought of the purpose of their coming here, they couldn't help but tremble with fear, of course, this was nothing, but the more they trembled, the more powerful they became, and finally they could even see it outside. The swordsman with the two-handed giant sword began to see the space distorted, and thought it was spatial turbulence. Startled, he quickly retreated, but then realized that something was wrong.

"Mr. Solinz. What's wrong? Delphine frowned.

The former did not answer, but picked it with his sword, and the elf and Xianni were suddenly exposed in front of everyone, and at that moment they were aggrieved and afraid, and they couldn't help crying for a while: "Wow, wow, don't kill me." Mom! The elves are dying! ”

Everyone watched in amazement.

Delphien seemed to finally recognize the little dot in front of him: "It's you!" She said in surprise, but suddenly realized something, and frowned: "You eavesdrop on us!" ”

"I'm not there, woohoo!" The elf hurriedly denied in a panic.

"Mr. Solinz, catch her first!" Delphine said with some annoyance.

"Ahh Don't catch me! The elf was visibly frightened, and she ran up the attic stairs with a handful of snot and tears, and Shanny flew up and stopped in front of her very righteously: "Elf, run, I'll stop them!" ”

It's a pity that before she finished her sentence, she was pulled out of her wings by Solinz, "Pseudo-dragon!" The latter thought at first that Shannie was just a lizard, but as soon as she opened her mouth, he immediately recognized this rare creature, the pseudo-dragon was very knowledgeable, and possessed a high level of intelligence, and could also cast some small spells, it can be said that it was the rarest wizard pet, he couldn't help but shout with some surprise: "Good luck, Miss Delphien!" ”

"Let go of me, you've hurt me, damn big man!" Shannie screamed.

The elf's face changed when she heard this, Shannie was her best friend, and she would never allow them to take her away, "Let go of Shanny!" She suddenly turned around and slammed into the tall swordsman, but unfortunately her small body obviously had no deterrent effect, and she hit her head on the swordsman's waist, and instead bounced herself out of the air, and sat next to the dwarf Bori.

The two guards beside Delphine and the young man couldn't help but laugh when they saw this.

The elf was frightened and annoyed, but even more afraid that the men would take Shanny, and with tears in her eyes, she drew a dagger and threw it at the big man, but Sorinz didn't look at it, and knocked the floppy dagger down with a flick of her hand. The latter untied his sword again, and the crossbow bolt and even the flint threw it over, these things didn't hurt to hit Solinz, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it, after all, he was a long-famous swordsman, so naturally he wouldn't bother with a little girl, after the elf finished throwing away his own things, he grabbed a paper bag from the dwarf next to him and threw it at the latter, and the paper bag hit Solinz's body, and immediately flew away, scattering into a cloud of red smoke.

Now the unsuspecting Solinz is out of luck, "Pori's paprika!" He screamed, and immediately let go of Shannie to cover her eyes and nose, but it was already tears.

Xianni flew over to the elf and watched the scene with trepidation.

"Damn, stop her!" Now it was Solinz's turn to shout with snot and tears, he was ashamed, he didn't expect to be careless and fall for a little girl's trick. Delphien frowned at this scene, and the two guards beside him only leaned over to the elf with a smile after receiving her nod.

The elf was terrified, and when she realized that what was on Pori was useful, she groped with her hand for the poor old dwarf, and in a few moments she found a round ball in his purse.

The others were fine, but the young man behind Delphine couldn't help but change his face when he saw this thing: "Don't lose it!" ”

He shouted, but unfortunately the elf could not do what he wanted, and when she heard this shout, she shook her hand in fright, and threw the ball directly at the young man.

"Close your eyes!"

The young man shouted angrily.
