The maid showed her weakest side to Lorenno with a sad face. Lorenno completely ignored her and asked her to stay where she was indifferently: "Miss Maid, I have to do this for the safety of your master. You want to protect yourself." If it’s safe, stay outside the door.”
"Okay, okay."
The maid seemed to be frightened by Lorenno. She stood outside and remained motionless. Lorenno looked back at the window and held two swords, waiting for the assassin to enter. However, the assassin was lurking on the treetops without any intention of entering the room. will.
It seemed that the assassin wanted to consume her energy in this way, but Lorenno was not afraid of such malicious consumption at all.
It was the assassin who should be anxious, not her, and her senses did not inform her of the danger, which meant that even if two assassins attacked her, the half-elf would not lose.
As time passed, the maid's expression suddenly changed. This timid woman looked at Lorenno gloomily: "Are you really not going to make way for us?"
"not prepare."
"……Humph."
The unknown maid snorted and left. The assassin outside the window seemed to feel that she could not defeat Lorenno alone and left quietly. Lorenno narrowed his eyes at their actions——
These two people don't seem to be on the same side.
After a while, the mid-level professionals and Elsa whom Monica mentioned were responsible for protecting the mansion came back, and Lorenno opened the secret room to let the businesswoman out. Then several people gathered together to discuss today's assassination.
This assassination was more powerful than the previous ones, because they were successful the previous times, which caused the soldiers guarding the manor to relax and not notice the assassin's entry.
Moreover, there were two forces entering the manor. The assassins from the two parties even fought after they met, each wanting to keep the other as a scapegoat. They did not escape in a hurry until the guards came over.
"It seems that besides your sister, there are others who want your life, Miss Monica. I can't help but wonder if you can..." Survive to complete the empire's mission.
Lorenno blinked to convey this meaning to Monica, and she walked up to the assassin killed by Lorenno with a fox-like smile: "Well, let's see who else wants to kill me first. "
This assassin has a one-time invisibility ring on him. The businessman is sure that his eldest sister will not be so wealthy, so this must be an assassin from another force.
Taking out the spell book, Monica recited obscure spells, and she guided the negative energy into her body. The dead assassin suddenly opened his eyes, and his seven orifices glowed with gray light.
Ring 3 [Conversation with the Dead]!
"Which family do you serve?" Monica said softly.
The assassin spoke after some struggle, and said hoarsely words that gave the warrior with low intelligence a headache: "Kurrian..."
"Oh, that's it~"
After the magic effect dissipated, Monica gave the soldiers a few words. After they left, Lorenno frowned and asked, "Did you discover your identity?"
"Of course not," the merchant lady curled her hair with her fingers and said pitifully, "Kurrian's eldest young master wants me to be his lover, and then use me to embezzle the property of the Maytal Chamber of Commerce."
"I would rather die than obey, humiliate him in public, and spread his dirty information. I'm afraid he wants to kill me because of this."
"As long as it's not exposed, my suggestion is that you'd better act quickly."
Lorenno took out a pen and paper to record today's events completely and truthfully. Elsa held a big pillow and leaned on the ground to sleep, while Lorenno leaned against the window as usual to prevent someone from suddenly attacking her.
The next day, the three of them went to the Chamber of Commerce in a carriage. Only then did Lorenno rest his head on Elsa's lap for a while.
Monica was very busy as the president of the branch chamber of commerce. As soon as she arrived at the chamber of commerce, the business lady's personal maid who came in advance put a lot of reports on her table and told her the afternoon's itinerary. First, she would go to a certain A certain nobleman talked about the fine iron business, and then went to a certain miners' association to inquire about workers. The queue was full all day long.
"Why did you look so laid-back yesterday?"
Lorenno asked drowsily while lying on Elsa's lap.
"I'm used to taking half a day a week to finish all the paperwork," Monica replied while correcting. The mage's intelligence allowed her to multitask. "Today is Monday, which is my busiest half day, and the two ladies can have a good rest." half a day.”
After sleeping for half a day, Monica woke up Lorenno and asked her to deliver a letter to the city guardhouse and give the disk to the half-elf. The business lady was about to take action.
Chapter 186: Legend Checkmate?
After asking Elsa to take care of the business lady, Lorenno got up and went to the city guard station to hand the disc and letter to the city guard officer here. The lady with a scarred face took the disc and envelope seriously and confirmed that they were genuine. Then return the disc to the half-elf and accept the envelope.
"Don't worry, Lord Lorenno, we will act in accordance with the order."
I don’t know if the city guard can do what he wants as long as there is a disc, or if there are other conditions.
When Lorenno saw the city guard officer agreeing so quickly, the first thing he thought of was this. After all, it would be difficult to lose such an important thing.
After handing over the envelope, Lorenno was about to walk back to the Chamber of Commerce when she suddenly felt something flying towards her from the air behind her, and the half-elf instantly caught it in his hand.
It was a small ball of paper, with an address written on it after unfolding it. She looked back and saw someone in the alley in the distance nodding to her. Under the hood was the rescued girl.
"interesting……"
Lorenno whispered, crushed the paper, found the map of Ginkgo City, and walked towards this address in the slums.
……
Stepping into the slums of Ginkgo City, the stench of feces and urine hit her face. Lorenno walked on the dirt road with a calm expression. Some people tried to get close, but she forced them back with her eyes. The timid ones were frightened to the ground.
The wave of murderous intent is really effective in preventing the weak from approaching.
Lorenno walked all the way down, giving the black bread to the gathered children and watching them eat it
, she finally came to the place written in the note.
"Miss Blood Beast, please come in."
The dilapidated door was opened, and the half-elf girl looked around curiously after entering, her eyes fixed on the haystacks on the ground: "Miss Kuro, what can I do? I'm a busy person."
"We hope you can help us deal with Kurian," Kuro said sincerely, "I will let my father explain the details."
Lorenno was noncommittal and watched as the thieves moved away the haystack to reveal the secret door below.
Following Kuro as he walked underground, a group of people wearing cloaks appeared in front of Lorenno. The half-elf girl sat opposite them and asked casually: "Guys, please say what you want to say quickly, I still have to protect my employer. "
Lorenno was shorter than everyone present, but in terms of aura, he was stronger than these people who were hiding their heads and tails. The leader took off his hood to reveal a weak face. She could tell that he was the father of the thief girl.
He looked sallow and thin due to the severe beatings, and his face was covered with scars, but there were no traces of magical torture. Presumably, if someone asked a mage to torture a prisoner with magic, the mage would definitely feel offended.
"Miss Lorenno, I am Ampis, the leader of this group of people. We want to entrust you with something," Ampis coughed and looked at Lorenno with hopeful eyes, "I hope you can join us. Take action and defeat the Kurian family."
"Kurrian?"
Lorenno pretended not to know anything and wanted to hear what they thought of the family.
"That's right, the Kurian family."
Speaking of this third person in the city, the people in black robes here were extremely angry. The people next to Ampis said: "There are nobles and commoners here, and they all came together because of Ampis' persecution. , they blatantly destroyed the traditions among the nobles and bullied the people wantonly, making us nobles..."
Speaking of the abominations of the Kurian family, all the men in black robes in front of them talked endlessly about how they could make everyone so angry. Lorenno was really amazed by this family. He raised his hand and asked, "I have a question. Since this Why can a family that is so annoying grow to be so big?”
Several men in black robes paused, and Anpis sighed: "Their old patriarch is a legendary warrior. There are two legends in Ginkgo City, so this family dares to act recklessly in the city."
No wonder.
Lorenno understood that in the final analysis, strength was extremely important.
However, as a result, the empire, the Maytal Chamber of Commerce, as well as the down-and-out nobles and oppressed common people are all revolting at this time——
"Their legend is dying?" Lorenno asked.
The death of a legend is a devastating blow to a family. How arrogant it was before will become embarrassing later.
Maybe Kurian contacted the Federation and started violating the law very early. This was the reason why the legendary warrior declined and the family was afraid of revenge, so they wanted to raise money and transfer wealth to other countries as soon as possible.
"Yes, there are a lot of signs that their legend is dying."
There was excitement in Anpis's eyes, and he said sincerely to Lorenno: "Miss Blood Beast, we have heard many legends about you, but since you are willing to save me, it means you are kind. I hope you can contribute to the peace of Ginkgo City." Do your part.”
"It's easy to talk about." Kurian is going to lose it anyway, so it would be good to earn some extra money on his own. "How do you calculate the reward? What do you want me to do?"
Ampis looked at Kuro, and then said to Lorenno: "I hope you can go to the Kurian family with our team to steal something. It may be that thing that maintains the life of the old patriarch of the Kurian family. As for the reward, ——How about 10 gold coins.”
"A magic item that can sustain the life of the clan leader?"
After explaining the matter to Monica, the business lady's narrowed eyes actually widened because of the news: "Oh my gosh~"
This time it was Lorenno's turn to raise his eyebrows: "You don't know?"
"I don't know, 'we' just funded these people and didn't prepare them for any big use. Usually the rebels provide information unilaterally," Monica explained, "So we only knew that the legend was about to die, but I really didn't know that the library The Leian family has such a magic item that can extend life."
The nobles who hated the Kurian family made a move, but they didn't expect it to be used here.
Patting her head with a fan, Monica showed a fox-like smile: "Miss Lorenno, I need your help with something."
"what?"
"I'm also going to send someone to snatch that magic item. Help me when the time comes. If you are discovered, keep the Kurian family's attention at bay. If you successfully bring it out and we are robbed halfway, you can persuade them to leave."
"it is good."
Is this considered seeking public benefit for personal gain?Anyway, Lorenno will write down the matter in the record and let the empire evaluate it when the time comes.
Monica picked up the invitation from the trash can filled with scraps of paper and squinted her eyes: "It seems there is no need to throw away the invitation."
The half-elf glanced at it and found that it was an invitation from the Kurian family. The purpose was to celebrate the 90th birthday of the Kurian family in five days. It would not be that simple to hold a banquet at this time. The Kurian family must also know about the outside world. There are rumors and rumors, and they want the clan leader to come out and calm people's hearts.
Chapter 187 Ginkgo Family
Monica is very satisfied with Lorenno. She originally thought that the "regulator" would be a difficult character, but it turned out that he was the same person as her.
Such a lovely girl, the most important thing is that she is willing to help and obedient.
"Come with me to meet the real ruler of Ginkgo City this afternoon."
"You mean the Ginkgo family?" Lorenno asked while drinking tea.
"Yes, I'm going to discuss business with him."
Monica looked into Lorenno's eyes maliciously: "I think you are very useful."
"Miss Monica," Lorenno raised his finger and said, "If you continue to use public affairs for personal gain, I can say bad things about you."
"Ten thousand gold coins, you don't have to say anything when you stand next to me."
"Deal~"
But in this case, the money given by the Resistance Army (Lorenno’s own name) was really small.
The carriage slowly drove into the largest manor in the center. An elf servant greeted the carriage. The man held out his hand to the carriage door: "Miss Maytal, welcome to your arrival. The master has been waiting for a long time."
Lorenno and Elsa got out of the car on the other side. Monica went out wearing more gorgeous clothes, grabbed the maid's hand, and nodded to him.
Led by a team of servants, the three entered the manor. The half-elf took a deep breath. The magic in the air was surprisingly powerful. The vegetation was lush, but it did not grow randomly.
Not long after arriving in the living room, an elf in a green suit appeared and shook hands with Monica with a smile: "Metal, you are here to introduce the metals of the Chamber of Commerce again."
"Of course, I won't go back until I convince you, Mr. Ginkgo." Monica covered her face with a fan and laughed.
Lorenno's muscles tensed subconsciously, and the handsome man with a smile in front of her gave her a feeling that he could crush her to death with one finger. This should be the legendary elf.
Mr. Ginkgo turned his attention to Lorenno and Elsa, and the first thing he noticed was the tallest wolf girl present. Then he looked at Lorenno, his eyes widened at first, and then he smiled and said, "You should be Miss Lorenno. "
"Yes, I didn't expect Mr. Ginkgo to know about me." Lorenno was surprised that even Legend knew about her.
"A half-elf who has grown so fast is enough for me to take seriously. He is indeed of royal blood as expected. If you need any help, please ask."
"...Thank you." Lorenno was a little surprised, but did not refuse, just accepted as a courtesy.
Just as Monica and Ginkgo were about to sit down and talk, a group of young elves suddenly burst in. They were as tall as Lorenno, roughly between 50 and 80 years old, which is about 10 to 16 years old when converted to human age. between.
The youngest elf girl shouted: "Father! You promised us that you would practice swordsmanship with us!"
"Father, we have guests here. You go and practice your sword first."
The boy was dissatisfied: "That's what you said last time!"
"Quiet," Ginkgo shouted solemnly, and the elves immediately dared not make a sound. He said to the three of them very apologetically, "They are my children. I indulged them too much, so I don't have much etiquette. I'm sorry. .”
Lorenno knew it was time for him to take action. He took a step forward and secretly winked at Monica: "I'll practice sword practice with them."
"who are you?"
The elves started chirping again, and only the eldest elf boy, who was about the same mental age as Lorenno, apologized to Lorenno.
"My name is Lorenno, your swordsmanship teacher today. Do you want to test how much I weigh?" Lorenno raised his eyebrows. "If I lose, you will be my teacher. How about it, little guy?" them."
Hearing Lorenno call them little guy, the elves except the eldest brother immediately became unhappy: "Lorenno, right? We don't know how much older than you are, so it's us who call you little guy!"
"Come here! We can beat you to a pulp without big brother taking action!"
Well, the mind does exist between the ages of 10 and 12...
Lorenno met the young elves for the first time, and she was also collecting information when talking to them.
This book says that elves will have their minds in a closed state before the age of 80 (14) to nourish their souls, and will grow rapidly after the age of 80 (14). Now it seems that this is indeed the case. The eldest among them is obviously much more mature. .
