82. Prove yourself

"Put away your lies, mystery fellow, I don't know what your purpose is, but it's okay, we'll torture you. The woman was quite good-looking, and when she finished speaking, she looked at a heavily armed man next to her, and said, "Take him to prison, and if you can't ask anything, then kill him." ”

"Hey, wait!" Zhang Li was anxious: "Why did you arrest me? Why? Just because I know Shadow Step and not other spells?"

"Do you want a reason? Okay, tell me, where are you from? What is the name of your family? What relatives do you have? Who can prove your identity......

"I don't want to talk about my past, I want to start a new life, if you can infiltrate Defia you know, a lot of people are forced to ......"

Faced with this pale explanation, the woman smiled disdainfully: "Then I can now promise that I will forgive you even if you have sinned in the past, and now you are willing to say it?"

Zhang Li: "...... It's not that you want to forgive me, it's that I can't forgive myself, please, please trust me, give me a chance to atone for my sins......"

"Atonement? that's interesting, let me guess, it's your routine, right? Pretend to be unable to look at your past to gain sympathy?"

"I ......"

"I don't need to explain anymore! I can accept a man who is forced to be a robber, but I must know his details, if you don't want to say anything, well, I'll let you speak......" After the woman finished speaking, the man she signaled came up to escort Zhang Li away, Zhang Li sighed helplessly, and then instantly blackened and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"Boom, Boom!" Almost instantly, all the people here drew their weapons and looked behind them, and several loyal warriors subconsciously protected the woman's back, but Zhang Li did not flash to anyone's back.

"I have some hard things to say about my past, and I don't want to tell anyone that I want to change my life and start anew, but if you don't believe me, I'm not going to be a prisoner just to prove anything. Zhang Liying left, although there was a torch here, but the hazy light of the torch was no problem as long as it was not too close, and there were so many people in the room, there were shadows almost everywhere, Zhang Li slipped out of the crack in the door very smoothly.

"This ......" Everyone was shocked, and the most surprised of them all was the mage Hogan.

"He's invisible?"

"I haven't heard of anyone who can disappear instantly!"

"Lord Hogan!

However, it was useless, there was no Zhang Li there.

"How did he leave?" everyone looked at each other.

"Is there a crack in this room? But there is not even a window here......

No one could figure it out, only Hogan, who kept recalling the scene when Zhang Li disappeared, as if he had grasped something in his mind.

"That's the trick...... It doesn't seem to be a shadow step. ”

..................

In the end, Zhang Li was regarded as a liar who would use some kind of teleportation spell, and everyone soon didn't care about this matter, but there were a few more procedures for the protection of those important people.

"It has been ascertained that the heads he brought with him do belong to a gang of Defia bandits, who had recently attacked a farm, and someone recognized them. "A dusty guy was reporting in front of the woman.

Speaking of this woman, she is the commander of the Night's Watch unit, Altea Eberlock.

Speaking of the Eberlock family, there are many untold stories in this family, many people know that Althea will be instigated by the Burning Legion in 7.0 and become a big villain, and the night watch will wash the night town in blood, many people will feel inexplicable, why did she attack her own people?

Could it be that the pressure of the long period has driven this young woman crazy? Come to think of it, there are ogres, robbers, werewolves, undead and so on, and adventurers from the tribe passing by here all year round. (^_^)

Stormwind didn't support them, she, a thin woman, supported the town on her own, maybe she was really driven crazy by the burden.

But perhaps there is a deeper reason, which starts with their surnames, in fact, Duke Eberlock is not only Althea's daughter, Althea also has an older brother named Canresard Eberlock.

Many people say that they have not heard of Kanressad, and those who have played SS may have an impression of him, and he is the final boss of SS Green Fire Mission.

That's right, this thing is a warlock, the eldest son of the Eberlock family to pursue the power of the devil, maybe he is trying to find a way to solve the night in the twilight forest, after all, the energy that Medivin burst out at the beginning is the power of the devil, anyway, he ran away from home, so at this emergency moment, Althea's sister had to take on the responsibility of the commander of the garrison of Night Town.

Thinking about Althea and their blackening may have found a reason, Kanressad will be sealed at the end of the Green Fire Mission, and the Burning Legion may know about it, and then threaten Altea and Duke Eberlock to be villains, so it can be explained by thinking about it (Note: Kanressad Eberlock has nothing to do with Althea and her family, the author doesn't know, the above is all speculation, anyway, the surname looks similar).

Anyway, Althea is still a good boy, and she is trying to defend her family's people and territory.

Althea looked up coldly, she was now dealing with some papers, all letters for help from all over the Twilight Forest.

"That doesn't prove that he's a good guy, this guy is terrifying, and if he really has any conspiracy, he can't regret it. ”

Then a clerk next to her said, "The Duke complained to me just now, he is very unaccustomed to being watched to sleep with him, but there is nothing he can do for safety. ”

After the man finished speaking, the scene fell silent, and Althea began to frown again and looked at the report in her hand, no one paid attention to him, the clerk smiled very awkwardly, and then continued to do the work in hand.

"The orchard has been looted by Defia again, they had been looted by the ogres once a while ago, and now they have been looted again, and many of the hired farmers have said that if the lord cannot guarantee their safety, they will leave the place. The scout began to report again, and Althea collapsed on the back as if she were deflated.

"How can we have the manpower to protect them? Raven Ridge needs to be protected, a few farms need to be protected, those passing merchants are also protected, and we have to pay tribute to those damn Stormwind nobles! Soon we won't even have the money to hire adventurers......" Althea bit her lower lip, her beautiful little face was heartbreaking, and all the staff in the room looked distressed.

"But whether they can't do it, we managed to convince this group of free men to stay, and if they go, we will lose even more. In order to keep these free people, they have reduced the rent to the lowest level ever, and they used to be hired farmers begging them to farm the land, but now that the role has changed, Althea's heart is very bitter.

"Anyway, go to the tavern and ask how many adventurers in the city have nothing to do, and no matter how much it costs, make sure to get them moving. ”

..................

The orchard, because of the twilight forest over the night, is no longer suitable for growing delicate fruits, and people can only grow pumpkins and potatoes and other relatively forbidden crops.

Now, a group of a dozen adventurers was running outside the orchard, followed by a group of ogres about the same number as them.

"Open the door!" they shouted at the gate of the orchard, but there was no movement at the gate for a long time.

"No!! damn it! we're going to be finished!" the adventurers were almost disheartened, but they didn't notice that the ogre, who had run last, suddenly fell to the ground.

"Ah...... It's a lot of work to prove yourself...... Otherwise, just be a robber......" Zhang Li stepped on the ogre's corpse with a painful face, blood dripping from the gem dagger in his hand.
