For three days, neither Restia nor Lin Xuan got any news about the "traverser" at all. On the contrary, he was almost discovered by the elven envoys of the academy several times.
In desperation, Lin Xuan had no choice but to turn his attention to the "Skeleton Alliance". Maybe it's just a coincidence, but when I first received the mission, I happened to learn the news of the upcoming arrival of the upper members of the "Skeleton Alliance", which always made people involuntarily associate them.
Anyway, there was no result in a direct search, so Lin Xuan turned his focus to this upcoming upper-level member, hoping that he could find a breakthrough in her......
As an upper-level official member of the "Skeleton Alliance", naturally he will not mix with these ordinary people who are not even peripheral members, so Lin Xuan can't know her specific arrival time and stronghold, but Lin Xuan doesn't know, it doesn't mean that these "ordinary people" don't know, although they are not even peripheral members, but there is no information at all, so it really makes people wonder if it is an organization.

Drawing his sword, he knocked on the rusty iron door.
From inside came a muffled inquiry: "Who?" β
It can be seen that the recent joint search between the garrison and the Elesia Elf Academy has also made these low-level personnel feel good. From the interrogation, it was learned that there was no precautionary arrangement here, and everyone entered directly, and sometimes no one noticed when outsiders sneaked in......
However, Lin Xuan doesn't have any thoughts about diving in now.
The sword rises horizontally and stabs at the source of the sound.
Pumped out, scarlet liquid erupted from the crack, accompanied by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, and there was chaos inside.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Three minutes later.
Shattered corpses were scattered around the dimly lit basement, and three big men fell to their knees shivering, burying their heads deep into the ground.
After making sure that there were no other living mouths around, Lin Xuan didn't talk nonsense, and asked the only two people directly: "You are from the 'Skeleton Alliance'?" β
"No, we're notβ"
"Phew"
The blade of the sword is withdrawn, "I don't like lies"
"Yes, we're the 'Skeleton Alliance'β"
"Please let me go, I just joined, I don't know-"
His brow furrowed. "Quiet"
"I ask, you answer"
"Yes, yes, if you have any questions, just say"
"The 'Skeleton Alliance' has a high-level member coming to the academy city recently?"
It can be seen that the questionee hesitated, but under the threat of the cold blade, he had to answer truthfully: "Yes, yes, I have received this kind of news......"
"When will it arrive?"
"I heard that it's tomorrow......" swallowed his spit, "Maybe it's the day after tomorrow......"
"Stronghold?"
"No, I don't know......," after finishing speaking, he hurriedly added: "The members of the upper echelons of the organization don't have much to do with us who automatically unite with the lower echelons, we just borrowed the name of the 'Skeleton Alliance', and we really haven't mixed up with their affairs-"
"Phew"
"Uh-" clutched his sizzling throat and struggled to fall.
Lin Xuan turned his gaze to another.
"Pleaseβ"
The sword was swung.
"Enough!"
"Ding"
The pitch-black feathers slowly fell, and the dark elf girl with an ugly face walked out from behind Lin Xuan.
"If you're just asking, do you need to get to this point?"
"Please, please, helpβ" Realizing that this was the only chance to survive, the man abandoned all dignity and kowtowed desperately to Restia.
Lin Xuan's brows furrowed slightly. "In your opinion, they are innocent?"
Restia glanced around, and because her back was to Lin Xuan, she couldn't see her expression clearly.
"Compared to Solomon, maybe you are more suitable for the title of Demon King," the Dark Elf girl mocked.
Lin Xuan wanted to turn around and ignore it, but considering that he would need her assistance later, he had to suppress his impatience.
"Have you seen anything out there?"
"What?"
"Corpses, in the number of sixteen to seventeen"
βββββοΌβ
Without Lin Xuan's disbelieving expression, Lin Xuan's tone was flat, and he continued: "Although it is divided and cannot be seen, there is no doubt that the smell is the smell of corpse corrosion......"
'How come?!' The Skeleton Alliance' can't beβ" In the middle of speaking, the Dark Elf Maiden suddenly stopped.
"It seems that you don't just know what you said," Lin Xuan glanced at Restia deeply. "As they say, strictly speaking, these low-level people are not members of the 'Skeleton Alliance', but just an organization of people who use this name to do evil."
"Even so......"
"I don't understand the world of elves, but if you want to survive in the human world, it's better to pay attention to your surroundings...... Human beings, not all of them are simple beings like elves."
"......" The dark elf girl struggled and finally disappeared into the air. This is already silent Lin Xuan's behavior.
A trace of doubt took root in her heart.

Following.
The tragedy that occurred in the slums caused an uproar in the academy city.
The continuous search has strengthened a level in this panicked situation, and it may be that some news has been obtained, or it may be that there is something left on the scene, and the search forces sent by the academy in large numbers have begun to concentrate on the academy city.
And in this situation, Lin Xuan also got the news of the "Skeleton Alliance".
Restia's temporary stronghold.
The windows on all sides were covered by thick curtains, and even though the sun was shining outside, it was still extremely dark inside.
Lying on the bed, Lalvis let out a soft snoring sound, muttering muttered vague words from time to time.
I don't know if it's an illusion, she's been sleeping longer and longer lately, but Lin Xuan, who is tired, doesn't have time to pay attention to this, just waiting for this fateful special task to be completed......
The familiar aura approached, and Lin Xuan took his gaze away from the information in his hand.
The pitch-black wings spread out out of thin air, and the dark elf girl with a complicated expression appeared in front of her.
ββ¦β¦ appeared in the slums of Dongcheng District"
"Really......" Lin Xuan muttered, "Elf envoy?" β
"It should be, but because I don't know the specific strength of the other party, I don't dare to observe too closely"
I'm afraid it's more than that, right? Although she was in a state of temporary cooperation, she couldn't change the fact that Restia was forcibly "cooperated", although she didn't dare to disobey in major matters, she still didn't mind blocking Lin Xuan in these small details.
Restia looked at Lin Xuan's calm expression, and couldn't hold back the question in her heart anymore: "...... How do you know she's going to be there? β
Lin Xuan subconsciously replied: "Guess" but the next second, realizing who he was talking to, he immediately regretted it.
"Since Ness-kun's hunch ability is so strong, what else do you need me to do with a dark elf~"
ββ¦β¦ Yesterday's actions were not just to extinguish the mouth, although it will focus the attention of the academy and the garrison on the academy city, but the relative 'skeleton alliance' will also do the same."
The dark elf girl frowned slightly: "Just like that? β
Lin Xuan paused, he wanted to save some tongues, but it seemed that it was inevitable, so he simply explained: "Organizations that dare to disobey the laws of the empire and sell 'curse seals', even if the other party is just some informal members who usually don't bother to pay attention to it, but in order to maintain the so-called 'deterrence', they must also take action - at least let people know that they are acting"
"What if it's just a curious person? It's like me~ If I hadn't been contracted by you, if this kind of thing happened in the academy city, I would have gone to see it anyway~"
"So, I said it's a guess" Lin Xuan looked at Restia's dissatisfied eyes expressionlessly, "Even if there is only a one percent possibility, it is better than nothing"
There is too little information, too little time, and there is almost no way out
