Chapter 57: Elven Aristocrats
Elan remembered a man who was a peripheral member of the Brotherhood of Thieves named Valen, a greedy and sinister fellow. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Valen said that he could introduce him to the Brotherhood of Thieves, and under his mental suggestion, Valen revealed all his information, and it turned out that Valen was just a guy who circled around the periphery of the Brotherhood of Thieves.
If it weren't for the fact that Valen often bought news from him, he would have taught Valen a lesson a long time ago.
In fact, he also yin Valen many times, like the bottle of incineration potion, which he got from Valen, and the skill of picking locks, which was also swindled from Valen.
Thinking of this, Elan felt that Valen was still competent as a transport captain.
Afterwards, Elan shook his head, and opened the black bag, from which he poured out three square rubies, and a black ring.
The gem is a good thing, but Elan doesn't plan to sell it, not to mention that there is no way to sell the stolen goods, and the gem that can be hidden by the wizard Mark must have something different.
The shape of the black ring is somewhat strange, it looks like three black worms intertwined.
This can't help but remind Elan of the curse in Mark.
Placing the gems and ring back in the black bag, Elan was about to take a closer look at the origin of the leather that had wrapped the book, when he sensed someone approaching.
He quickly shoved things back into the Traveler's Backpack, hiding it back on his chest and leaving the Shadow Cloak outside.
"Tom!" was kicked open by a kick open at the wooden door at the bottom of the watchtower.
A familiar figure of Elan, who was about to stride into the watchtower, was smashed out by Elan with the steel shield made of orcs.
This time, Elan hit it very hard, and the other party flew out on his back and fell into the snow, spitting blood in his mouth, without any sign of getting up.
This person is Hank, the militia of Shining Gold Town, who plotted against Elan with Felix and made him have to accept the task of infiltrating the bandits' den, but he didn't expect him to come to the door, but Hank came to him.
Who gave him self-confidence?
Elan walked out of the watchtower, gently closed the wooden door, and saw several other people outside the door, except for Felix, an elven young man with long blond hair, with several militiamen standing beside Hank.
"What's going on? When did even the elven nobles forget the etiquette? I don't know how to knock on the door when I am a guest?"
The elven youth is named Eugene Edward, and he comes from an elven noble family.
The Cydirol Empire is an empire established by the elves who eliminated the former human rulers, so the status of the elves in the Cerdirol Empire has always been higher than that of other races.
Other races, especially humans, are their slaves in the eyes of the elves.
It used to be true, but with the change of the times, the decaying elves are no longer as brave as they used to be, and the royal family's rule over some territories within the Cydirol Empire has long existed in name only.
The only provinces that are truly under the rule of the Empire are the province of Cydirol, where the imperial capital is located, the northern province where the Dentster Territory is located, and the Black Marsh province in the south of the empire.
The rest of the provinces were either retaken by local forces or by the newly emerging forces of the Freedom Front rebels.
The Saidilore Empire, which once controlled nine provinces on this continent, now has only three left.
Despite this, the Cydirol Empire is still the most powerful force, and the rebellious provinces do not dare to put up a banner on the surface, which makes the elven nobles at the top still live in the illusion of the empire's power.
However, the emperor of this life, with the ambition to restore the glory of his ancestors, began to reduce the rights of the nobility and implement a centralized system of imperial power.
"You're Ellan Winchester?, a pariah, dare to comment on an elven noble?" Eugene looked at Ellan with a proud look on his face, and waved his hand, "Take him down!"
Eugene and the militia around him bore the marks of battle.
Elan knew that Jerome had sent Eugene with a few militiamen to pursue the fleeing robbers, but he didn't expect the other party to trouble him as soon as he returned.
"For everyone's sake, don't blame me for not reminding everyone! If you are beaten by me, you will definitely be beaten in vain! Because you obey the orders of a person who has no command authority!
What is this golden-haired elf? Is he an official of the Sheriff's Office? Or is he a nobleman with real power? He's just a noble kid with no inheritance!
Oh, I forgot, if the elf's brothers are dead, then he will have the right to inherit!" said Elan, pointing his finger at Eugene.
As Elan spoke, one of the militiamen who wanted to attack him was thrown to the ground with a shield and fell to the ground with a heavy hand.
Alan was telling the truth, Eugene was just an elven nobleman, and an elven nobleman like him could throw a brick at Hyfinga City and knock down a large area.
The only difference is that Eugene's father is the lord of Dentster and a comrade-in-arms of Count Fink Brown du Nelson, while Eugene, who has always prided himself on being young and promising, has excellent swordsmanship, and is the best lifelong companion of Sinia.
Eugene was so angry by Elan's words that he drew his sword on the spot and attacked Elan.
In Elan's eyes, Eugene's swordsmanship still has two strokes, and it inherits the characteristics of elven swordsmanship, which has always been light and fast.
Under the cover of the blizzard, Eugene's attack trajectory is even more elusive, and his sword is aimed at killing Elan.
Therefore, Elan will not be polite to this elven nobleman, he has long been fed up with these elven nobles who are idle all day long and cause riots everywhere, just like those 'children of the Eight Banners' in his previous life.
There was a soft "ding", and Eugene's sword was blocked by Elan's shield.
Next, Eugene didn't have time to continue his attack when he was approached by Elan.
With a "bang", Eugene was already knocked into the air by Elan's shield, but Elan wanted to make persistent efforts, and when he volleyed, Felix next to him raised his sword and slashed at him.
Felix's attack was just right, just when Elan's castration was exhausted and the new momentum was not yet achieved, depending on the situation, it was difficult for Elan to dodge Felix's sword.
The corners of Felix's mouth were in a smug arc, and the sword in his hand slashed under Elan's ribs as he wished, but then there was no scene of Elan's blood splattering five steps.
I saw Elan turn his body along Felix's horizontal sword, and the turned figure quickly approached Felix, and Felix felt that the sword in his hand seemed to be sucked by Elan, and he actually followed Elan's rotation, turned his wrist, and slashed at himself with the sword.
Felix was scared into a cold sweat, he had never encountered such a situation before, but he also made a quick decision, and he fell backwards to the ground without hesitation.
