Chapter 117: "True Love"
The city of Hafenga is made of huge granite and has numerous fortifications, and the huge outline of the city is like a rock, standing still on the ground. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The cold cannons and ballistas were like the eyes of Hafenga City to restrain their murderous intent, yes, this is a world with artillery, and Elan thought that the power was okay, after all, he had only seen this kind of old artillery with black powder in museums in his previous life.
He had studied the black powder in this world, and after finding that the ingredients were quite different from those in his previous life, he would be gone, because he didn't know much about this aspect, and how much could ordinary people in the Big Foodie Empire have access to the matter of thermal weapons?
Elan took off the white cloak on his body and put it under the shadow cloak, under the effect of mental projection, the guards at the city gate accepted his five coppers and let him go, as for his appearance, the guards at the city gate did not have any impression at all, in the eyes of the guards, he was just an ordinary traveler, and he didn't even mention the questions to ask in the rules of guarding the city.
Ellan who entered the city of Hafenga did not make any stops, and walked directly to the docks, Peters is really able to hide things, he has hidden the money he has been abducted for many years in his warehouse.
The warehouse is a hen that lays golden eggs, and as a port city, the thriving maritime trade allows those who own the warehouse to lie down and collect money.
Of course, the people who can own warehouses are basically the elite, and Peters's warehouse is not on land, but in the water, because his warehouse is changed from a berth, the warehouse is a big ship, and the berth is handed down from his ancestors.
Elan had to admit that Peters had a lot of ideas, and after the decaying family did not have the strength to continue the sea trade, it should have continued to decline, but now that Peters was so engaged, his life was better.
Otherwise, if Peters was really poor, so many women would not have been deceived.
"What a rare good day!"
Alan looked up at the sky, the raging blizzard made it much easier for him to sneak into the docklands, and with the help of the Shadow Cloak, he was more sure that he would be unaware.
Sinia's father, Count Wolfheart, was strict in governing the army, and the core dock area was a place for the circulation of important materials, so the guards patrolled more frequently.
Hidden in the shadows, Elan seized every opportunity to sneak into the docks, most of his attention was on the watchtowers in the docks, and what Christina said to him before leaving was certainly not unfocused, and after a few closer looks, he secretly called out a few lucks.
Elan originally thought that if he wanted to infiltrate the dock area, he would only need to hide from the patrolling guards, but he didn't expect that the "Eagle Eye" on the watchtower was the object to be more careful.
"Hawkeye" is a member of the archer unit of the Celeridil Empire, and it is common sense that elves are good at shooting, and the members with the title of "Hawkeye" are the best among them.
The guards on the watchtower were armed with a pure black bow and wore a thick plush felt hat with an eagle feather stuck on either side, which came not from the feathers of ordinary eagles, but from the hardest part of the back of the eagle's neck.
Guards in the same black leather armor stood in the pitch-black watchtower, and if it weren't for Elan's amazing eyesight, I am afraid that they would have ignored the existence of these people.
The Cloak of Shadows can only hide Elan in the shadows, but the dark corners of the core docks are scarce, and street lamps are erected in many places, and instead of candles, fluorescent stones of astonishing brightness are in the lampshades.
If you want to act quietly behind the patrol guards, you will definitely be spotted by the "Eagle Eye" on the watchtower, and after thinking about it, Elan used a psychic hint on the patrol when a patrol passed by.
"There's a situation over there!" the patrol guards ran toward a corner, where they suddenly felt something.
The "Eagle Eye" on the watchtower was also attracted by the actions of the patrol guards, and in an instant, Elan's body jumped like an arrow off the string, and slammed towards the dark corner not far away.
After doing this three times and twice, Elan managed to reach Peters' ship, the Love, and hid in the shadows between a pile of boxes.
And after the core dock area was tossed by Elan, the atmosphere in the core dockland area changed from silent to a little lively, and the patrol guards were confused, obviously aware of some situations, but in the end they found nothing.
Gradually, everyone noticed that something was wrong, and at this time, the moonlight rat in a dead corner was shot by the "Eagle Eye" in the watchtower and was firmly nailed to the cargo box.
Seeing this scene, Elan was a little smacked, the level of this archery is really not covered, and the moonlight rat hidden in the cargo box is almost hiding in the gap about the thickness of the arrow shaft, and as a result, it was solved by the "Eagle Eye" from a long distance.
Aside from the skills of archery, the trajectory of the arrow was not seen by Elan, although the blizzard affected the vision, but Elan's eyes were not ordinary, Elan asked himself if he had this ability, and he might not be able to avoid the arrow easily.
"It turned out to be moonlight rats, these annoying rats are going to come out to do evil again!"
"Made! every time some greedy guy takes the opportunity to steal here, the damned thief can't die no matter how he dies!"
"Can't these thieves have a better memory?how much the Earl attaches importance to the security of the core docklands, the whole of Hyfinga City knows!"
The patrolling guards thought that the previous few suspicious movements were made by the moonlight rats, and the "eagle eyes" on the watchtower felt a little strange, and the moonlight rats should not make such a big movement before the red moon was full.
Forget it, it is estimated that the snowstorm is too big, and the eyes of those patrol guards are disturbed.
By this time, Elan had turned his shadow cloak into a robe that wrapped around his body, and he dived directly from the sea to the edge of the "Love".
The conditions on the ship's side were much darker, and it didn't take much effort for Ellan to climb the deck and enter the cabin.
"Whew, this cloak is waterproof, it's a good thing!"
As soon as he came out of the water, Elan touched the shadow cloak on his body as soon as he entered the cabin, and praised it in his heart.
For those who steal chickens and dogs, the Cloak of Shadows is simply an artifact, and it seems that every function can come in handy.
Peters's "Love" was a large cargo ship with a three-story structure, and Elam followed the stairs in the cabin on the first deck to the second floor, and after a few glances at the neatly arranged cargo on the second floor, Elan looked at the captain's cabin not far away.
There was a little eagerness in Elan's gaze, where Peters' riches were hidden.
Enough of the poor life, good steaks, good milk, eating as much as you want, clothes that fit, as much as you want, Elam was also a layman, and he was full of "sincere love" for wealth like the common people.
