The legendary path of the abandoned half-elf

"Adventurer, have you ever seen a young woman and a slovenly man covered in wounds? They are heinous prisoners."

The nobleman suppressed his anger and spoke righteously. Lorenno shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before."

"They are going this way. Do you want to go against the Kurian family?!"

The nobleman roared angrily to make himself look very powerful. Lorenno sighed and said: "My name is Lorenno, the Lorenno next to Princess Connie."

"?!"

The noble who was about to ask the soldiers to go up for inspection was frightened and took a few steps back. He looked at the half-elf girl in surprise. Elsa poked her head out of the window and breathed: "Arnold, haven't you arrived at the temple yet?"

"almost."

Lorenno replied, giving the frightened little noble a blank look: "You still won't give way?"

"What are you still doing? Get out of the way!"

The young nobleman slapped the private soldier captain beside him, and the soldiers immediately gave way. Lorenno pointed at the young nobleman's nose and said: "Be careful next time, you are not from the Kurian family, you are just like me. It’s just someone’s dog, be careful not to bump into anyone you can’t afford to offend, but for your master’s sake I say, I won’t let dirty prisoners into my bedroom.”

"Yes, yes, Lord Lorenno, please walk slowly."

The little nobleman heard that Lorenno was not going to embarrass her, so he breathed a sigh of relief and sent the car away with a smile. He glared at the silent soldiers beside him and said, "What are you doing standing there dazed! They must not have gone far, they must be hiding in the slums, hurry up." Search!"

……

When no one was in sight, Aisha popped up and said, "Arnold, why did you save these two people?"

"They and Kurian are enemies, maybe they can be of some help later."

Lorenno said, looking back at the two people who were pretending to be asleep: "Since you two are awake, tell me where you want me to take you, or I will take you to the city guardhouse."

The masked girl opened her eyes, her breathing became short, and she thanked Lorenno: "Thank you, Miss Blood Beast, for sending us to the temple area."

Aisha untied her and the prisoners, and the four of them entered the temple area. Lorenno didn't ask anything. He watched them get out of the car and turned around to go to the Temple of Endless Light. Aisha asked in confusion: "Don't ask any questions." What?"

"Let them come to us on their own. What do you mean? They occupy a favorable position in negotiations. It's not that we need them, but that they need us."

"Oh~."

Elsa didn't understand.

After going to the temple to donate some protection money, Lorenno drove a carriage to the Metal Chamber of Commerce. The Metal Chamber of Commerce in her imagination should be a room full of dust, with a group of dusty people roughly selecting the required metals or minerals. .

But the reality did not match her imagination. Different types of metal mines were neatly placed on the counter, and there were weapons, armors or daily utensils made of metal next to them, which looked very high-end.

"Hello, do you need anything?"

The male waiter approached and asked, Lorenno smiled and said: "Is Miss Monica here? Please inform her that I am Lorenno, the 'cold blood beast' Lorenno who has accepted the escort commission."

"I'll report it right away."

The waiter looked tense and hurried upstairs to inform the second lady who was negotiating the contract with the guest. He whispered in her ear. The pink-purple haired girl who covered her face with a fan and gauze nodded and said, "Ask her to go to the guest room and wait." Come on, I’ll be right away.”

After the waiter left, the pot-bellied businessman asked: "Miss Monica, does it mean you have someone you like?"

"Of course not," Monica chuckled, "I hired someone to protect me. This was not to discuss my family's ore matters with the most powerful family in Ginkgo City. To prevent anyone from causing trouble, I hired someone with a reputation. Big professionals are coming."

"Oh? Who?"

"Hehehe, President Bit will know when the time comes."

"That's it, hahahaha..." "Hehehehe~"

The two businessmen laughed happily.

……

Lorenno studied the sword master's next professional specialty. The door opened, and a girl with purple hair and purple eyes walked in and closed the door. She saluted with a smile that made people feel like spring breeze: "You are Miss Lorenno, and Aisha." Miss, this is the first time we meet, I am Monica, the second young lady of Maytal Guild."

Her hair fell to her chest and was naturally slightly curled. Her eyes were narrowed, leaving only a gap. Her purple eyes glanced at Lorenno and Elsa, who was eating pastries and said nothing. From time to time, she showed a hint of shrewdness, and her smile made people feel comfortable. The clothes are made to make her look as cute as possible, which can reduce other people's alertness towards her, but half of her face covered by the gauze scarf looks like a fox.

By the way, Monica was a little taller than Lorenno. This was the result calculated by Lorenno, which made her feel a little frustrated.

"Hello, Lady Monica," Lorenno meticulously followed the instructions in the operation manual given by Mira, "I am Lorenno, and I will report your actions back to the empire."

"Then please give me more advice from now on~"

The soft and waxy voice was not pretended by her, but Monica's original voice. The half-elf girl handed a disc similar to a "tiger charm" to Monica. This was a token used to ask the city guard for assistance. Chamber of Commerce girl stuff.

"By the way, we are needed

Will you be your official bodyguard? Lorenno asked after delivering the things, "I can help you block some people. Anyway, I don't need a good reputation among the nobility." "

Monica opened her eyes slightly, then narrowed them again: "Of course~, with the identity of Miss Lorenno, I can indeed move more easily~, go back to my mansion and have a good sleep, and we will talk about those things tomorrow Bar."

"Okay, but you don't live in the Chamber of Commerce?" Lorenno asked curiously.

"Of course not. The chamber of commerce is an office space and I have my own house~. I believe Miss Lorenno will like it very much after seeing it. There are also things that Miss Elsa likes to eat."

Monica said with a smile, and Elsa said nonchalantly: "That's great."

Elsa sensed the danger of this businesswoman, and Lorenno felt that this businesswoman was very similar to someone she knew. They were both the kind of people who were unobtrusive and would definitely strike with a thunderous strike once they launched an attack.

The three Lorennos were surrounded by servants and soldiers and entered the carriage. Monica suddenly clapped her hands and said: "By the way, Miss Lorenno, I have a request. Can you completely obey my command for this operation? I can do whatever I want." How about it?"

"Isn't that what it is?" Lorenno asked doubtfully, "I'm just responsible for reporting your actions."

Chapter 184 Assassination

"That's really nice."

Monica was very happy to hear Lorenno's rhetorical question, which meant that the supervisor sent by the empire was really just a supervisor, and would not point fingers or cause trouble.

"By the way, one thing did happen."

The half-elf girl recounted what happened to Kuro and her father in detail and asked, "It's no big deal to save such a person, right? If anything happens, I'll catch him back."

"No need," Monica smiled and divided the delicate pastries in the box between the two of them, then she twisted a piece and put it in her mouth, "They are a resistance organization that combines the families and civilians who were oppressed by the Kurian family, Kuro His father Chis is a noble who lost everything after being bullied by Kurian."

After hearing this, Lorenno looked at Monica's fox-like smile and asked: "Let me guess, a group of lonely nobles and a group of civilians will definitely not be able to defeat the Kurian family. Their weapons and funds are obtained from the Metal Chamber of Commerce. of?"

"That's right, but it's not just us, other families are also involved. The Kurian family has gone too far in recent years."

"Ms. Monica, the Metal Chamber of Commerce's base is in Crystal City. Why did you get involved in Ginkgo City? Oh, this is just my personal curiosity. You don't need to answer."

"Of course we want to expand," Monica said as she ate the pastries with satisfaction. "The Chamber of Commerce wants to open a way out of Crystal City. I want to win over my brothers and sisters who are trying to control the Chamber of Commerce, so I became a secret agent of the empire."

Taking out a handkerchief to wipe her hands, Monica squinted her eyes with a longing expression: "What about you, Miss Lorenno, I am also very interested in you. Are those rumors true, such as the one between you and Princess Connie? Love between life and death and all that.”

"what about me?!"

After hearing this, Elsa's eyes widened and she raised her hands. It was obviously a trip for three people, but she could never be named.

"This..." Monica smiled awkwardly.

……

The three of them chatted and came to Monica's mansion, which had similar specifications to the Viscount of Dragon Tooth City. They were arranged in a guest room close to her room to protect her at all times.

"You don't have any high-ranking guards?"

Lorenno didn't feel that there were any powerful professionals around Monica. The businesswoman nodded: "The high-level ones are enough to be my father, the president of the Chamber of Commerce's bodyguard. At most, I will let the mid-level professionals protect me." I, unfortunately, don’t have women, I just let them guard the perimeter of the mansion and the Chamber of Commerce branch.”

The two were about to follow the maid to take a shower when Monica remembered something important and said: "You two, someone may come to assassinate me today, so is it okay to sleep in my room?"

"——Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Lorenno looked at the businessman speechlessly: "Miss Monica, I think you don't care about your life."

"After death, the soul will be distributed to various worlds according to belief and camp, or return through the River Styx," Monica said seriously, "In this case, you don't have to worry too much about life and death."

After taking a bath, Lorenno and Elsa entered the merchant's room. Monica was wearing translucent pajamas and sitting at the desk copying spell books. The half-elf reminded: "Miss Monica, I suggest you change into something suitable for exercise. Clothes, if someone comes to assassinate you and you can’t escape, also, tell me who wants to kill you.”

Monica said while copying: "That won't work. My weak body is not suitable for a lot of exercise. If I die, I will die. I really don't care about Miss Lorenno and Miss Elsa and just run for their lives."

"The person who wanted to kill me was sent by my sister. She has done it several times to eliminate the most powerful candidates for the Chamber of Commerce's heir~. If she hadn't had my undercover agent by her side, I wouldn't even know how I died."

"Of course, I also have her undercover agent here, so there are some things that cannot be exposed in advance. For example, my identity as an undercover agent of the empire, I have to ask you two to deliver some letters."

"no problem."

Lorenno agreed. Monica stretched out after copying the spell book, blew out the candles and lay down on the bed. She patted the half of her spare bed and looked at the two of them charmingly: "I need to be close to you."

Protect? "

"No, we can just keep watch."

Politely declining Monica's invitation, Lorenno closed her eyes and fell asleep. Her consciousness had completely let go of the connection with the plants. She could detect the slightest disturbance in the outside world.

……

In the dead of night, Monica snored softly, and although Elsa and Lorenno had their eyes closed, their muscles were tense.

This is a skill developed by hunting in the winter wilderness at night. The two of them can lie down in the snow and use this technique to reduce mental and physical exertion. They can survive in extremely harsh environments before becoming professionals. One day and one night, now it is even simpler.

Kara -

Elsa opened her eyes and wanted to go out the window, but Lorenno reached out to stop her, signaling the wolf girl not to act rashly.

Someone indeed sneaked into Monica's manor. Since the mid-level warriors didn't notice it, it must be a ranger or an assassin. It would be better to wait inside the house to fight back. Their mission is to protect Monica rather than kill the enemy.

The half-elf quietly shook the businessman awake, put his finger on Monica's slightly opened lips, and mouthed: "Is there a safe place? My suggestion is to send you in and let you out after the matter is over."

"I am also a professional, a mage."

"A few levels?"

Monica made a sheepish sign of six.

"Go into the room. Here are assassins and rangers. Don't worry about me dying and you being questioned by the empire."

"Okay, follow your orders, Miss Lorenno~"

The businessman responded helplessly and prepared to put on his slippers and go to the secret room, but Lorenno carried him on his back.

Under Monica's guidance, Lorenno opened the secret room of her home through a series of operations, allowing Monica to go in barefoot.

When she was completely gone, the half-elf pointed at the window with his sword drawn. As long as anyone came close, he would hit her with all his strength. The door was watched by Elsa. Frost had already formed on the frost moon sword, and the area It became cold, and the blessings of ice and snow on the two of them took effect, and their physiques began to increase significantly.

Moreover, this area is controlled by Aisha only in the room, and the outside temperature is still the same.

All that... all that... all that...

A slight sound came from the window. Lorenno closed his eyes and maximized his other senses. His magic sense of smell smelled a shadow. The trees outside the window felt something climbing up the treetops along its branches. , now already standing outside the window!

Squeak - bang!

The window was suddenly knocked open, and Lorenno opened her eyes suddenly. There was no one in front of her, but her other senses were telling her that there was someone in front of her.

Without any hesitation, the half-elf girl pulled out the multi-enchanted sacred sword and struck out!

Chapter 185 The business lady who is good at causing trouble

Blood spurted out, and the invisibility assassin appeared after his death. Lorenno stepped out of the way and called Elsa's name: "Elsa, you go after her!"

The blood splashed out of the window after the assassin's death made the other assassins realize something was wrong and they quickly fled the place. Originally, they were gathered together, but now this run made Lorenno know how many people came to assassinate Monica.

There are three in total.

This would make it difficult for Lorenno to leave, so she chose to stay here and let Elsa chase her out.

"okay!"

The wolf girl became excited and turned into a red light and flew out of the window. Lorenno sounded the alarm next to the table to wake up the people in the manor and block the killer. He was as steady as a mountain sitting in front of the secret room, waiting for Elsa to come back. will not leave.

After a while, a surprise came to the door: "Huh? Sure enough, there are people who are determined to give up."

Another person took advantage of the chaos and sneaked into Monica's mansion. They were running up the stairs. The half-elf was waiting in front of the secret room with concentration and did not act rashly. She was alone now and just guarded the door of the secret room.

The door was opened, and a maid looked around in panic. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lorenno: "You are Miss Lorenno, right? I -"

"I advise you not to come here, Miss Maid."

The killing intent fluctuates!

The sharp sword intent hit the maid through the window of the soul. She retreated and fell to the ground, shocked. Lorenno said coldly: "Now, Miss Maid, please leave the room to find the protection of other guards. Here Do not disturb strangers."

The half-elf girl had just arrived and could not recognize everyone. She suspected that the maid in front of her was an assassin in disguise.

Monica said that she only has one personal maid, the one who takes them to take a shower. The other maids can only come in and clean the room after she leaves. There is a high probability that there is something wrong with the person running over now.

Especially now, there is another assassin coming to the other side of the window. Now it is difficult not to doubt him. As for the malice, she can't feel it at all. Containing the murderous intention is the most basic skill of the assassin.

"Miss Lorenno, can't you protect me? It's too scary outside."
