Chapter 10: Attack on the Dreadclaw

Several swarthy, slender figures scouted around and made sure that there were no living sapient beings around them to notice their arrival, and then they let out a chirp like a night owl.

With this code, dozens of dark slender figures jumped out of the dark and deep cave again, and one of them was a relatively tall and burly figure staring at the night sky with dark red eyes, and then turned back to the underground dark and sighed.

"It's still the most intoxicating night in the surface world, and you say no, Priest Shatara. ”

In the moonlight, his face was undoubtedly revealed, black **, handsome face, slender ears and silver-white eyebrows, this is a dark elf.

Another female Dark Elf, known as the Priest of Natara, flicked her whip impatiently under her black robe, a long whip with a pure gold handle with three hissing snake heads, which were also writhing irregularly with her twitching, and she accused the speaking male surnamed Dark Elf in a slightly hoarse ** voice.

"Captain Vane Alberni, now is not the time to sigh, you have an important duty to come to the surface this time, and don't call me Natara, please call me Natara, Junior Priest of Natara. ”

"Yes, yes, isn't it just an adult hunt for the little ones?"

Vane muttered, turning his head to the other figures who had leapt out of the burrow, and in the moonlight, the young dark elves could hardly hide their excitement at their first arrival on the surface world, and although they had already formed a neat line, they were still chattering with each other.

"Although I know how excited you are when you first come to the surface world, and it should be my first time, but for now, give me silence!"

When Vane stood in front of the young dark elf, his face had turned serious and a little brutal.

"You are all warriors of the new generation of Aureda, and from this night onwards, you will have ten nights to hunt, and I don't care what means you use, but on the last night, I want to see that each of you has at least one elven head in your hands, otherwise what awaits you, you all know very well. ”

All the young dark elves, both men and women, listened quietly to the words of the Venn Martial Artist, and when they heard the last sentence, all of them couldn't help but shudder, as if they had seen the gloomy lair.

Natara, a junior priest in black robes, also swayed forward and continued.

"Master Vane Alberni and I will be waiting for you here for ten days, hoping that you will all succeed in the hunt and become the new members of the Dean family, the fourth family of Aureda. ”

"Now, the hunt begins!"

The sun was already shining on the second floor next to Virginia, and Shavina freshened up and walked out of the house, ready to go to the adventurers' guild as usual, and then volunteer at the city's orphanage. But before that, Virginia was the first place she would be.

"Elsa, a glass of milk, three croissants, a plate of potato soup, and a roast leg of lamb, hang on the bill!"

Before she could enter the door of Virginia, Shavina was shouting open, and the recent return of Efeld had made her feel good and her appetite was also high. But that roast leg of lamb wasn't ordered by Savina for herself, didn't you see the majestic and mighty oversized bobcat behind Shavina?

"Shavina, you order early. ”

The happy little proprietress Aisha quickly brought the food that Savina had asked for from the kitchen cook, put Savina's breakfast on the wooden table, and then she placed the plate of roast lamb shank in front of Efeld.

"Long time no see, Efeld, you've grown up again, and when I first saw you, you were so old. ”

Shavina got up late, and the Virginia guests had already finished eating and went out early to run errands, and Elsa chatted with Shavina in the bright hall without saying a word, until Shavina said a joke.

"Martin, who hasn't seen you so much in the last few days, doesn't he want you anymore?"

"How is it possible, don't you know how much he loves me?"

Aisha retorted with a red face, only in front of Savina did she have the courage to say such sweet words. But after saying this, Aisha seemed to remember something, and her face became serious.

"By the way, Shavina, the city has not been peaceful recently, there have been more than a dozen murders, and the dead are all elves, the murderer is very cruel, he cut off his head, Martin was so busy for these things that he didn't go home for a few days, Shavina, you have to pay attention to safety when you go out to do tasks." ”

"Don't worry, I'm a level 12 high-level ranger, and besides, I still have Efeld?

Savina patted her chest to reassure Elsa, and pulled Efeld as a shield, but Efeld, whose mission is to protect Savina, of course, stopped the leg of mutton in his mouth, raised his chest, and nodded solemnly.

After breakfast, Savina leisurely led Efeld towards the Adventurers' Guild, and just as she crossed the road and was about to enter the gate of the Adventurers' Guild, a fast horse galloped in front of her, and the wind was about to blow her away.

"Martin, why are you running so fast?"

"There was a murder in the orphanage, and someone was killed!"

On horseback was Elsa's husband, the handsome Martin, who had run away in a word, but his words still came from the wind, and as a high-ranking official of the Watchmen of Waterdeep, his news could not be wrong.

There are several orphanages in Waterdeep, but there is only one orphanage in the direction that Martin rode over, and that is the Randy Orphanage where Shavina often volunteers.

"Little Sanger, Louphne, Little West, don't be okay with you!"

These names are the names of elf orphans, and when Shavina was volunteering at Randy's Orphanage, they often pestered Shavina, because Shavina is a half-elf, and their similar appearance makes them very good friends, and every time Shavina goes to the orphanage, she will bring them something delicious to eat.

"Efeld. ”

Shavina stepped on the back of the oversized bobcat behind her, and called softly, and Efeld, who had already been in touch with her, immediately ran up, he had also been to that orphanage, and was pulled by the elves and scratched his ears.

The orphanage was not far from the Adventurers' Guild, and when Savina arrived at the orphanage, Martin, the deputy head of the Waterdeep Warden, walked out of the orphanage with a solemn face, and Savina jumped off the cat's back to meet her.

"Martin, what's going on inside?"

"It's miserable, I advise you not to go in. ”

Martin said heavily, but Shavina had already passed by his side and stepped into the orphanage, and then she immediately covered her lips with her hands, and tears immediately rolled down her eyes.

The few elves she was talking about had all lost their lives, along with the orphanage's director, Randy, the half-elf, and a small number of human orphans, and they had another common feature, their heads were gone!

"Alas, Savina, please mourn. ”

Martin's sigh came from behind, and he patted Shavina's shoulder with his broad palm, and Efeld comforted Shavina in his heart.

"Shavina, it's useless to cry, blood debt is only paid in blood!"

"That's right, blood debt and blood payment!"

Let the last tear** fall, Shavina repeated Efeld's words in her mind, and then she turned to Martin and asked.

"Martin, are there any suspects in these elf murders recently?"

"I've asked the mages of the City Lord's Mansion, and according to the description, they gave me a piece of information. ”

Martin looked at Savina's resolute face and the anger in her eyes, and paused before speaking.

"There is a custom of the dark elves, every time a new group of dark elves comes of age, they will come to the surface for a hunt, and the object of their hunt is the elves, according to the custom, they must bring back the head of at least one elf, the more the better, and the dark elves who do not bring back will be severely punished. ”

Shavina gritted her teeth and listened to Martin's information, then she closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths.

"Efeld, let's go. (To be continued.) )
