In a way, the demon is arguably the most powerful one in the kitchen right now. The demon was far superior to the others in terms of both physical and self-healing abilities, so when the demon stood up, Ness was pleased to see that the long, deep wound on the demon's back and at the base of the giant wing had begun to heal. He didn't make any special gestures or recite any awkward incantations, but a white mist drifted by, and the demon had already taken on the form of a normal human, which made the dark elf Nice feel very puzzled: the demon didn't seem to use arcane magic like the archmage Aqiman, but it didn't seem to include the elven magic used by the dark elf's sister to summon the ubiquitous elves to exert their power, and it didn't seem to include this kind of spell that could change shape.

"It's not the effect of magic, it's a little ability that we demons are born with. The demon seemed to sense the dark elf's confusion and lowered his voice to explain to her.

The halfling cook grabbed his brother: "Are you really leaving? There may be patrols of the three major knight orders outside, and you may face unexpected threats." Are you any better?Do you want me to go out and buy some healing potions, and of course you'll have to pay for it yourself? Well, or will you need a little dry food, and a little drink? I'll be ready for the meal you want in half an hour. Do you need a weapon? Of course, I can't give you my own kitchen knife, but you can take the kitchen knife that belongs to the original chef hanging on the wall! Do you want to ......?"

As he spoke, Edel suddenly closed his eyes and fell to the floor. The Elder of the Thieves' Guild hurriedly stepped forward to check on his brother to see if something had happened, only to find that the halfling cook had simply fallen asleep, and Elder Edgar turned around to find a few dried rose petals falling from the demon's hand. The demon cast a sleep spell to temporarily throw the chattering brother of the elder of the Thieves' Guild into the arms of Hecate, the god of sleep.

Edgar didn't say much. Join Ness in moving the halfling chef to the small bed in the corner of the kitchen. Then he turned and took the lead out of the kitchen threshold.

Luckily, neither drunks nor homeless people lingered in the lobby of the tavern tonight. Three figures quietly walked out from behind the counter and quietly walked past the waitress who was asleep on the counter. Deftly avoiding the tables and chairs lining the hall, Elder Edgar, who had taken the lead, gently pushed open the two wooden doors of the tavern, and the white soft light of the moon, known as the "Scimitar of Death", fell on them. Then, led by Elder Edgar, the dark elves and demons quietly walked out into the streets.

Elder Edgar seemed to be very familiar with the roads in Onyx, and whenever there was the footsteps of patrols and the sound of horses' hooves on the street ahead, Edgar would always be able to take this small group to some hidden alley, or some place under the gatehouse that could hide everyone's figures. So when they came to the process of a house in the eastern side near the city gate. There were hardly any thrilling situations.

It's not entirely accurate to say that it's all smooth sailing. At least as they were about to pass the long stone bridge connecting Guò to the north and east, the members of the small group were startled by the sight of a few shadows passing through the sky.

It was a group of large creatures with strong lion bodies and the ability to tear apart their opponents with the sharp beak and claws of an eagle: griffons. The griffons of the Holy Azer Empire are quite different from those found elsewhere on the continent of Vesta, mainly reflected in their wings: the feathers on the wings of the normal griffin are golden yellow, while the wings of the griffons of the Holy Asselr Empire are a dazzling blood-red color. Legend has it that this is because during the War of the Gods, the goddess of the earth, Lina, was attacked by the god of death, and the holy blood from her injured shoulder dripped to the ground, thus dyeing the wings of these griffons that perch the cliffs of the Assel Mountains all year round to their current colors. Therefore, the griffin of the Holy Asserr Empire has a special name: the blood griffin. The Blood Griffin Knights, one of the three major knights of the Holy Asserr Empire, got their name from the flying mounts that their knights loved, which were much stronger and more ferocious than ordinary griffins.

"Even the Blood Griffin Knight has been dispatched. The face of our thieves' union is really not small. "The elders of the Thieves' Guild, hiding in the shade of the trees at the head of the bridge, watched the beasts flying through the air, and the heavily armed knights riding on them. Half-crouched beside her mentor, the dark elf Niss whispered something to the demon. For a moment, the demon thought that these knights riding blood griffins were just doing ordinary patrols. The Dark Elves told him that Prince Yagu Crane's Order of Blood Griffons would never ride Blood Griffons on night patrols, as these fierce creatures hated to operate at night.

At the same time, this also means that it is not only Count Brad Klein, who came to Onyx City with the Dragon's Tooth Knights, who wants to completely eliminate the Thieves' Guild, but also the Knights of the Blood Griffin, plus the Green Leaf Church and the Knights of Light under the command of the Church, who originally regarded the Thieves' Guild as a thorn in their side, and the three major knights of the Holy Asserr Empire, which are famous all over the continent, have all stood opposite the Thieves' Guild at this moment.

Of course, the people who were already injured didn't want to fight these enemies flying in the sky, and if a dozen or so ordinary griffins attacked together, that kind of crazy Cheng Dù would almost be as long as a small dragon, not to mention that these were still blood griffins, plus the knight riding on the back of the blood griffin, if they were discovered at this time, it would be a dead end. Fortunately, the heavenly knights did not notice the three figures hiding in the shade of the trees at the bridge, so when the figure of the Blood Griffin Knight disappeared in the distance, the elder of the Thieves' Guild muttered, "Brave Samia, please take care of your people!" while leading the dark elves and demons to continue walking towards the eastern district.

Normally, different races worship different gods, and Samia is the god of the halfling race, who is descended by an adventurous halfling who looks after the halfling race. I don't know if it was because of Samia's protection, but after the long stone bridge that connected the northern and eastern districts through Guò, the three-member team led by the elders of the thieves' guild made it safely to their destination: a weapons shop called "Sumer's Flaming Sword".

Although the signboard of this weapon shop does not have a script in the Abyssal language from the Abyss Demon Domain. But in the moonlight six words. The demon knows at least half of it. The Celestial, Continental, and Mercenary lingua franca all accurately indicate the name of the weapon shop: Sumer's Flaming Sword. Although most of the inhabitants of the Abyss Demon Realm know the Celestial Language. On the other hand, although there are occasional additions from the righteous faction, it is still a simple and clear lingua franca spoken by the mercenaries of the Vestal continent, which is made up of most of the dark creatures. Both of these words appear on the weapon shop's signboard at the same time, making the demon feel a little funny.

"It's to attract more business, and the weapons shop never turns away customers of any race, except for those who don't have the idea of fighting at all, or who don't need weapons at all. Edgar, the elder of the Thieves' Guild, seemed to be unusually familiar with this weapons shop, and without hesitation, he pushed open the door and led the dark elf thief Ness and the dungeon master to the dark lobby inside the house: "If there is enough space on the signboard. I'll add a few more words. Am, you may be able to write an ad for me in the Abyssal language, and the blacksmiths in my shop are skilled enough to craft a scythe that will surely please your kind. ”

The demon realized that the Elder of the Thieves' Guild was the owner of the weapons shop, and Elder Edgar had begun to tap a corner of the counter with a small hammer. After closing the door, Ness walked over to the demon and whispered to him that this was a covert way for the Thieves' Guild to deliver information, a counter fixed to the floor, with a metal pillar leading to the basement, where the Thieves' Guild Elders were announcing his arrival with rhythmic banging.

After a few moments, several figures appeared silently in the lobby of the weapons shop. Through his unobstructed vision in the pitch black. The demon saw the four humans coming out of the room at the back of the lobby and through the secret door in the wall, as well as the basement that had emerged from under the anvil in the lobby that had suddenly moved to the side. From their gray skin and hair, the demon knew that these were two gray dwarves who were supposed to live underground, and their homeland was in an underworld deeper than the dungeons of Thor.

One of the gray dwarves looked much older than his companions, after all, the other gray dwarf didn't seem to have a full beard, and the older gray dwarf muttered the name of his god with an incredulous expression: "O industrious Radug, you are finally back! Everyone is worried about you, and this morning's events have terrified everyone. Who is this young man I've never seen before, Edgar?"

"This is our guests of the Thieves' Guild, and it is unfortunate that they have been caught up in our affairs because of the evil Earl Brad Crane. The Elder of the Thieves' Guild examined the people in the lobby and began to give orders, "This is not the time to shout. William and Dur go back to the back room and sleep, you have to open the shop tomorrow morning, and Egger and your men go outside to stand on guard, and if you see the guards, you will immediately inform the inside. Morgan, Carey, open the basement door, and boil me some hot water, we need a good shower. ”

The four members of the Thieves' Guild, who were apparently ordinary humans, immediately turned back to where they had come from, while the two gray dwarves began to push the heavy anvil together. After the anvil that he had returned to his place was pushed away, a square hole appeared in the ground, and the elder of the thieves' guild began to walk down the steps of the hole: "Welcome to my underground palace, Am! This is probably the safest place we have in Onyx City right now. ”

July was the hottest season in Agate City, the capital of the Holy Asserr Empire, and the demon who had soaked in the hot water in the marble bathroom for twenty minutes felt even more hot all over his body. Having bathed like a demon, Niss carefully applied a light green ointment to the demon's injured wings, which made the demon feel cool on the wound.

The basement of the weapons store, where they were located, was indeed worthy of the name of the "underground palace" in the mouth of Edgar, the elder of the thieves' guild. Colourful ceramics adorn the walls on either side, and there are several other holes in the walls with intricate carvings, the floor is covered with a thick carpet with delicate patterns, and the ceiling is covered with crystal lamps of the same pattern. Bright light from the dancing flames poured through the crystal lamps on the corridors.

The demon and Ness are now in the Elder's room. The halfling was looking intently at a report in front of him. I heard the demon and Ness knocking on the door as they entered. Elder Edgar looked up, and the demon saw two lines of tears on the halfling's face, "My men have been to the headquarters of the Thieves' Guild. Wanderer Samia, Brad Klein is the real devil, and the thieves' guild is now the only one left of us. ”

"How so? Aren't there still a lot of people hiding in the hall? The tunnels in the hall lead to ......" Dark Elf Ness glared at her mentor in front of her. Elder Edgar didn't answer her question, just handed the report in hand to the Dark Elves and Demons.

After the collapse of the Thieves' Guild Headquarters, the Dragontooth Knights discovered the tunnel entrance buried in the hall of the collapsed Thieves' Guild Headquarters. Instead of going in pursuit, the Dragontooth Knights poured several barrels of black oil from the Asser Mountains and threw a few lighted torches into it, and finally the Dragontooth Knights resealed the entrance to the tunnel.

Originally built as a secret escape route for emergency escapes, this tunnel is not only airtight, but also sealed with stone bricks and gray sand. Only a few hidden vents open to the ground. The black oil that had been poured into the tunnels and the smoke released after burning it wafted out of these vents. The members of the Blood Gryphon Knights, who patrol the sky on Blood Griffins, constantly inform the Dragontooth Knights on the ground of the origin of the smoke, and with the guidance of the scorched ground, the Dragontooth Knights have destroyed all the strongholds of the Thieves' Guild along the tunnels and the tunnels leading to them. The Dragon's Tooth Knights' annihilation of the Thieves' Guild also implicated several innocent families by the way, just because the tunnel vents of the Thieves' Guild happened to be built next to their houses.

In addition, in the afternoon and evening, countless knights, including the Blood Griffin Knights and the Knights of the Holy Light, mercilessly attacked most of the hidden strongholds of almost all the thieves guilds in Onyx City, which means that there must be a member of the Thieves Guild who fell into the hands of the Blood Griffin Knights or the Knights of the Holy Light, and many secrets of the Thieves Guild were shaken out by him. Even Elder Edgar's territory in the Eastern End. He also suffered great losses, in addition to several shops in which Edgar's private private investments were secretly invested. Most of his men had already been killed in the attacks of the three knights of the Holy Asserr Empire.

Although it was expected that Count Brad Klein would not just attack the headquarters of the Thieves' Guild, the damage in the report made the three people in the room feel unusually frustrated. Edgar the halfling mourns his men and calculates how much gold he's lost today, Dark Elf Ness misses many of her friends who grew up together in the Thieves' Guild, and the Dungeon Master worries about the plight of his companion, the Archmage Aqiman. The demons and mages had expected that killing the Emperor would cause a huge shock in Onyx City, but they did not expect that the extremely secret headquarters of the Thieves' Guild would be found by the Dragontooth Knights so quickly, and even the archmage himself would be injured and disappeared at this moment.

But in any case, Edgar, the elder of the Thieves' Guild, was already one of the luckiest men, and the other elders not only lost their men and money, but also their lives were engulfed in the raging flames of the tunnels. Neither humans nor any other race could run faster than the black oil flowing from the ground in the narrow tunnels, not to mention the smoke and poisonous gas that filled the entire tunnel, and these cruel killers who filled the air took the lives of the other seven elders of the Thieves' Guild, and the halfling was very sure of this.

After a moment of contemplation, Edgar reached out and pulled a rope hanging from the wall, and the two gray dwarves who had led them into the basement and left quietly reappeared in front of them.

"Inform all the guys outside to leave Onyx City immediately. It is more meaningful to give up the Thieves' Guild mark on your body than to give up your own life, and until you get my next order, there is no need to hang on your body for the time being. ”

Baron Wesley Ruda, Minister of State of the Holy Asserr Empire, was sitting blankly at his desk in his mansion at the moment.

The Thieves' Guild, which had long maintained the rule of the Holy Asyr Empire's royal family and the Crane family, had disappeared, at least on the verge of disappearing completely, and not only in Onyx City, but the head of the Dragon's Tooth Knights arrived at the National Assembly this morning, and after a brief discussion with the so-called Triumvirate of the Holy Asyr Empire, he issued an order to the messengers from all over the country who were waiting in the National Assembly. The lords of the country, the guards of the major cities, and even the militia of the country, after receiving the order, will launch a merciless attack on their local thieves' unions, the headquarters of the thieves' unions in Onyx City has been destroyed, and the local branches will inevitably fall into temporary or long-term chaos, and under the orders of Count Brad Crane, the armies everywhere will easily wipe out these cancers of the Holy Acer Empire.
