447. Under the Night
It is a giant oak tree that is more than 70 meters high, which is equivalent to a skyscraper nearly 20 stories high if converted into a building.
It is the best location in Padstow, the Silver Moon Elf living quarters are located here, and the four-story treehouse on this large tree is located at the waist of the large tree, some of the treehouses peek out from the trees to enjoy the sunlight, and most of the treehouses are hidden in the dense foliage.
This treehouse made of wooden planks is full of elves' quest for beauty.
Underneath the treehouse is a somewhat long spiral staircase, flanked by two half-blood elven guard warriors at the bottom of the staircase, and two half-blood elves guarding the exit above the staircase.
The rest of the half-blood elven guards lived on the first to third floors of the treehouse, with the top floor being the quarters where the Seagones mine owner and his family lived.
If you sneak into the treehouse from below, you'll need to go through at least a few checkpoints to reach the area where the owner of the Seagones mine is located.
Vice Captain Tennison's assassination plan this time was very bold, he took five Darkmoon Elf warriors, taking advantage of the dark night and high wind, and rode the griffon directly to the top of this oak tree, and several members of the assassin team hung down the ropes.
The wind was a bit strong, and the rope swung in the air with a lot of amplitude, and Captain Tennison grabbed the rope with one hand and kept looking down.
After confirming that the big tree under him was the target treehouse, he released the rope when he was still ten meters high from the big tree and threw himself directly into the dense canopy.
The rest of the Dark Moon Elf warriors also pounced on the giant tree at the same time.
The griffons in the night sky flapped their wings violently and quickly rose into the air, and they did not need to respond to the retreat of Captain Tennison, so they could return to the western outskirts of Paddesto City at this time, after all, even if they lingered over Paddesto City at night, it was very dangerous.
The dense canopy of the tree was like a natural giant soft bed, and the Dark Moon Elf warrior in tight leather armor pounced on the dense foliage, and immediately stretched his body at the moment when he first touched the branch, and put his hands on the thicker branch, burrowing into the dense foliage.
On the terrace on the third floor of the treehouse, two half-blood elf guards heard the sound of some branches breaking, and thought that the wind was too strong at night to blow off a branch of the big tree.
Their gaze swept over the treetops, but they didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
By this time, Vice-Captain Tennison was already squatting on a horizontal branch, looking down at the tree house hidden in the canopy from top to bottom.
Several Darkmoon Elves hid their bodies in the darkness and slowly approached Captain Tennison's location.
Captain Tennison waited until the team members had arrived, and then walked down the trunk of the tree until they reached the roof of the treehouse, where a few parasols and a row of deck chairs were inserted on the terrace, and easily stepped over the wooden railing, and Vice Captain Tennison stood silently outside a bedroom.
Through the gap in the curtains, it was clear that two half-blood elf children and an adult elven woman were lying on the wooden bed in the room.
Hidden in the dark, Captain Tennison stepped back and walked out of the window of another room, where he saw a lighted room, in which a male elf and an elf woman were lying together on a large bed in the light gauze curtains.
Vice Captain Tennison pried the wooden bed open with a dagger, and two Dark Moon Elf warriors propped up the window, and Vice Captain Tennison quietly burrowed into the room.
Under the bright light, Captain Tennison's body was translucent, and he could only hide his body by standing in the shadows.
The other three Darkmoon Elves also followed Captain Tennison into the room.
The four Dark Moon Elves quietly approached the big bed from both sides, and Vice Captain Tennison walked around to the head of the bed, and he even unfolded the portrait in his hand under the light, and then gently lifted the curtain, carefully checked the appearance of the owner of the Seagones mine, and made sure that the one lying on the bed was the owner of the Seagones mine himself, before he suddenly lifted his chin with one hand and slashed his throat with a knife.
Blood gushed down the wound, and the owner of the Seagones mine suddenly woke up from his sleep, and he opened his eyes, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Captain Tennison was wiping a bloody dagger with a curtain, and he only felt a sharp pain in his neck, and a warm liquid was flowing from his body.
He tried to struggle and shout, but his hands and feet were controlled so hard that he could only stare weakly at the masked elf squatting at the head of the bed......
Vice-captain Tennison saw that the owner of the Seagones mine was awake and put a parchment portrait over his face.
In the dim light, a half-blood elf woman in a light gauze nightdress curled up, trying to close her eyes and trembling, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.
Vice Captain Tennison was silent, only waiting for the Seagones mine owner's body to completely soften, his heart stopped beating, and his hands and feet became cold, before he stood up and quietly walked to the terrace outside with the three Dark Moon Elf warriors.
Jumped down the balcony railing and disappeared into the night.
……
Ever since leaving the Nicobar Mountains, Agaglia has been suffering from drinking and has difficulty sleeping without drinking a little every night.
He did not run the mine, which he founded, but took over from his father.
When his father founded the mine, he told him that this business could not be done forever, and once there were bad signs, he should get out as soon as possible.
Agalia has always remembered his father's words, but once he lives in such a comfort zone for too long, he doesn't want to be that kind of adventurer who sleeps in the open anymore, and he doesn't want to return to the elven continent to be exploited by the silver moon elves, so he has been doing this way.
Four years ago, Lord Jarvis fell, and the fact that the incident did not affect the miners on their plateau left him with some luck.
When the Silver Pegasus Legion rushed into the Pagisto Plateau, he came in a hurry and left in a hurry, which once again gave him a little more luck in his heart.
When the Plateau Headhunters retaliated against the half-blood elves, the Agalia mine owner didn't pay much attention to it, and the mine owner wouldn't be involved in this matter anyway.
But he couldn't understand what happened next, a guy named Boss Roy quickly rose on the Pajisto Plateau, not only driving the highland headhunters back to the land of Gazan's ancestors, but also began to recover all the mines on the plateau.
By the time he wanted to get out and leave, it was obviously too late......
Lying on the bed, I couldn't fall asleep, so I got up from the bed and walked to the closet, poured myself a glass of rum, thought about it and poured some sweet orange wine into the glass, and drank it all in one gulp.
Walking out onto the terrace, the wind was strong at night, and he felt like he was shivering all over his body, and goosebumps condensed in every pore......
It was a little cold, and Agalia turned to go to the room to get a thick coat.
But when he turned around, he saw a human boy sitting calmly on a chaise longue by the door, and there was even a faint light above his head.
Agalia glanced at Roy and immediately stopped.
Then, an elf guarding phantom with a bow and arrow suddenly appeared behind him.
A glimmer of light lit up at the ankles of the owner of the Agalia mine, and his body as light as a feather jumped backwards violently, and he actually climbed over the railing seven or eight meters away, and his body fell straight under the tree.
The thin pajamas woke him up completely, and the Agalia mine owner put his hands on his shoulders and put his legs together to make the fall as fast as possible.
When Agaria's head was about to hit the ground, his body curled up completely, and the moment his feet hit the ground, his body rolled forward several meters away.
This was the edge of the Silver Moon Elf's living quarters, right next to the central avenue of Padstow, and at midnight the streets were devoid of pedestrians, and the dark, cold-toned streetlamps could be seen among the flowers, and the Agalian Mine Owner threw himself into a grove of trees.
A figure burst out of a bush to the left of the owner of the Agalia mine, and in the darkness he was like a black mist that he couldn't see clearly, only the dagger in his hand turned into a streamer and stabbed at the back of Agaria's heart.
Agaria's body shrunk back into a ball again, dodging the backstab of the Darkmoon Elf warrior and swooping into a thorny bush to dodge the ambush.
The Dark Moon Elves who were hiding in the other bushes immediately chased after Agalia where he had disappeared.
……
Roy didn't expect that this Agalian mine owner was still an elven patrolman, and he could see that his best weapon should be the elven longbow, so he jumped off the terrace more than thirty meters high without blinking.
And the posture perfectly cushioned the force of the fall, jumping into the bushes like a deer.
Roy stood on the terrace and peeked down, only to see the dense bushes, and he couldn't see the Agalian mine owner.
The six Dark Moon Elf assassins hiding in the shadows quickly closed around the place where Agalia had disappeared, and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
……
Vice Captain Tennison calmly left the massive treehouse with five Darkmoon Elf Assassins, and they retreated along the forest path towards the southwest corner of the Silvermoon Elf's living quarters, preparing to join up with the Second Assassin Squad led by Boss Roy.
After running along the quiet forest path for a while, I saw a faint light flashing in the southwest corner.
Vice-Captain Tennison quickly changed the direction of his run, accelerating towards the bright spot to outflank it to the west, and the Dark Moon Elves behind him also accelerated, and they ran very scattered, like invisible hands quietly opening out towards Agaria.
Just more than 800 meters away, Agalia came out of the thorn rose bush in embarrassment, he was only wearing a thin pajamas, and in order to avoid the pursuers behind him, he got into the thorny rose bush full of spikes, and when he came out of the bushes, he was covered in countless small wounds by the sharp spikes of the thorn rose, and the thin pajamas had been scraped by the branches.
Agalia only felt a hot pain all over his body, and he shivered when he was blown by the cold wind.
I don't know how many pursuers are following behind, he doesn't dare to stop running forward for a moment, but he doesn't dare to shout loudly, like him, who can't see the light, has attracted the Silver Moon Elves to patrol and guard, maybe there will be some kind of trouble.
He fled towards the treehouse of the Seagones miner, hoping that the elven guards brought by the Seagones miner would help him take out the pursuers......
