All city-states have lands beyond the reach of royal power.

This is true of Sertovez, this is true of Betar City, and even Breeze City is not immune to it - there are a large number of gangs entrenched around the slums in the south of the city, where countless evils breed, and countless cleanups will not disappear no matter how many times they are cleaned, and Olmedo can only acquiesce to the existence of gray. Because the cost of cleaning them up is far greater than you think.

And the city of Betal is completely controlled by the powerful, and never cares about the life or death of the lower levels. It is said that not long after the migration of Breeze City, the city of Beta, which was besieged by the nezumen, also began to migrate, and as for how many people escaped, Olmedo did not even dare to tell Annan.

That's why elves like to say that other races have original sin, because elves are arrogant, but they really never hurt each other, and have noble ideas and the determination to fight for honor.

Except for the Dark Elves.

Sertovis is only more complicated than other towns because of its history, and in any case, the gray land of Sertovis is like gangs in the slums, some run casinos, some make skin, and some raise pickpockets. Succubius roam the night, vampires search for blood food in taverns, and other magical creatures haunt the night.

The vampires living in Srtovis even split into factions:

A group of vampires who cooperate with nobles. The vampire clan who are looking for business in the tavern, the vampire clan who lead the gang to keep blood food in captivity, and the foreign vampire who come to visit.

The faction in turn spawns the chain of contempt:

Vampires who mingle with the aristocracy look down on vampires who forage in taverns, vampires who forage in taverns look down on vampires who are on the verge of breaking the law, and vampires who are on the verge of breaking the law look down on vampires who kill indiscriminately.

"It's not us who took your friend!"

Lenovo Xena's mother is not particularly anxious about her daughter's safety...... The first one who took Xena was captured?

"I can let you go back, but you'll have to help me investigate."

Annan let the earth elemental let it go, believing the vampire's words.

"What do I get?"

"If you find it, it's not impossible to give you some of my blood."

"Do you still participate in the super exciting banquet, there are still many nobles......

This vampire is not dead yet. Warlocks are a scarce resource, especially pure warlocks that have not yet been eaten.

Annan, who hesitated, finally shook his head, he hadn't found Xianna yet.

Letting the vampire go, Annan gathered up the two elements and stepped into a new tavern.

No more magical creatures arrived this time, and late at night, Annan politely refused the tavernkeeper's offer, as his presence made the guests sit for a long time.

The cool night breeze came in front of her, and it seemed that it could only keep Xena imprisoned for another day......

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Annan heard a burst of cat barking from the alley next to him. Handing the reins to the attendants, Annan followed the sound and saw the cat squatting in the alley with his cat friends telling stories.

In the quiet of the night, Annan's footsteps alerted the cats, and some made a gesture to escape.

"Don't be afraid, this is a good person, always feed the cat good food." Hua Mao said, so the pair of flashing cat's eyes made Annan can't help but want to empty the money in his pocket.

"You're the boss of these cats?" Annan asked.

"They listen to cats."

"Can you get them to find someone for me?"

"Leave it to the cat."

The cat and her cat friends translated Annan's words: "One of his friends named Xanna has been captured by the bad guys. ”

"What is Xena?"

"What is a friend?"

"What is a vampire?"

With a hard time trying to make a group of cats understand what they meant, Annan puffed up his chest and generously declared like an admired hero: "Find Xanna, and eat as much fish as you want." ”

The only spectators let out one cat meow after another.

"The cats ask what the fish is." Flower Cat said.

The strange noise in the alley continued for a long time, and Annan returned to the mansion, pushed open the bedroom window, and waved to the cats on the street.

"If you find a trace, come back and tell me immediately."

"Let's go!"

The flower cat ordered, and the cat group dispersed.

And Annan entered meditation with a wonderful sense of accomplishment.

Early in the morning, Annan was awakened by a loud noise.

The cats were barking outside the window, and Martin in the living room was still sleeping soundly.

The sleepy-eyed Annan saw the flower cat surrounded by cats and jumped onto the windowsill: "The cats found Xianali." ”

……

The people of Sertovis saw a spectacle today: dozens of cats running in front, followed by a carriage.

Annan and Alice converge at the intersection and follow the cats to a warehouse on the edge of the slum.

This is the territory of the Fernands, but the boss of the Fernand Gang has not been seen in days. Annan guessed that it was the vampires of the dove's nest who cleaned them up...... But he found no trace of vampires near the warehouse.

They gave up here?

"Your Highness, is it just us?" Lutheran King expressed his fear at the dark warehouse: "Shall we call some more people to ......?"

"That's enough."

Annan opened the portal and summoned five earth elemental teams.

One team protects the cats, one team protects them, and the remaining three teams explore the warehouse.

Unsold loot piled up in the warehouse, and the elementals then found the entrance to the converted basement, where they found several bloody food that was about to weaken into dry corpses, as well as piles of skeletons ranging from children to the elderly......

"Vampires are damn ......"

Then they found out that the bones spanned from years to months ago, which was the sin of the Fernand Gang, and the blood food was the top of the Fernand Gang.

"The vampires are damn good, they still have ...... them"

Having no time to wonder if these vampires were considered a good deed, he ordered the earth elemental to continue his search, and finally found Xana in the depths of the dungeon.

Xena was fine, except that she wasn't very clean because she was handcuffed, and there weren't many injuries other than scratches.

So the saved Senna did not throw herself into Annan's arms, put on a blanket, and asked Annan weakly and gratefully: "Are you for me?" ”

Thinking of the gem promised by Xanna's mother, Annan said seriously, "Yes." ”

Handed over Xianna to the butler who arrived, and then handed over the scene to the city hall, Annan took the cats, the biggest heroes, into the carriage, drove them back to the mansion, and rented the restaurant next to it.

The restaurant manager said reservedly, "Sorry sir, we can't help your cat-"

Whoop -

Annan threw the heavy money bag on the counter and scattered the gold coins.

"Guys! Put your best skills to work! ”

In a restaurant full of cat tails and licking sounds, Annan and Alice sit in front of the shop window, talking about the strange behavior of Xanna's mother.

"Forget it, it's a matter for the Senna family."

Annan has gained a lot in the past two days:

He received wealth, which was paid by Xanna's family; broadened his horizons, referring to the discovery of the play of those nobles; It was welcomed, and even vampires couldn't resist their charm.

Annan's life is back to calm - oh, there's a bunch of cats to feed.

and an Empire Tournament to participate in.
