The Dark Elf transformed into a crow and stood outside the Yaffelk Snakes' encampment.
As a qualified reporter, the most basic requirement was not only to move quickly, but also to have a pair of eyes that could discover big news at any time.
The Dark Elf obviously had these two excellent qualities.
The world-famous mercenary group Yaffelk Snakes didn't go to the dwarven blacksmith to repair their equipment. Instead, they went to the Music Guild near the White Thorn Flower Theater.
Even the dumbest person could feel that there must be some big news.
So, the Dark Elf followed them all the way to the guild encampment. After using special magic to corrode the Silent Inscription in one of the rooms, the Dark Elf did indeed eavesdrop on some important news.
Someone asked them to kill their employer?
The Dark Elf listened carefully to their request.
The Yaffelk Snakes' combat power was not ordinary. If the Dark Elf opened a bet on who was stronger between the Noland Law Enforcement Team and the Yaffelk Snakes, she would bet everything she had on the Yaffelk Snakes.
In this mercenary group, there were a few assassins at the same level as her. If they really started to prepare a plan to assassinate Josiah … then things would become very difficult.
The Dark Elf listened carefully to the movements in the room. At first, they were still arguing normally about the feasibility of this mission.
In the end, their leader Reyek clearly pointed out that Josiah was the creator of the magic net and the composer of Taylin's songs.
The topic of discussion within the mercenary group began to deviate in a strange direction.
"What?! How dare you slander Miss Taylin! I swear to live and die with Miss Taylin today! "
"I really can't appreciate that Frost Elf's songs."
"Cut the crap, let's duel! Damn Chaos Demons. "
The Dark Elf standing outside the room tidied her black feathers and didn't know how to evaluate this mercenary group.
But the two people who were arguing really started fighting in the meeting room.
The arrow driven by magic instantly pierced through the roof of the room. The place where the Dark Elf stood was also affected. She flapped her wings and chose to fly into the sky.
I've been discovered …
The Dark Elf looked at the arrow hovering in the air, and with the help of magic, aimed at her again.
She transformed into her human form in mid-air and a longbow appeared in her hand. In less than a second, the Dark Elf pulled the bowstring and shot an arrow. The arrow pierced through the center of the arrow that was wrapped in magic power. Then, she turned into a crow and fled.
Meanwhile, in the conference room of the Yafferk Snake.
"Did the eavesdropper leave?"
The man with gold-rimmed glasses whispered in Reyek's ear.
"He left." Reyek stared at the chaotic scene in the room. The archer under him had started a real … death battle with another member.
Driving away the eavesdroppers outside was just a side job for him.
"Leader, how should we deal with this request?"
The man ignored the murderous magic in the room and continued to ask Reyek for his opinion on this matter.
"Capture the client and ask him where the potions came from," Reyek said.
"This kind of behavior will affect our reputation."
Although that was what the man said, there was a strange smile on his face.
"I'll leave the interrogation to you."
Reyek ignored the strange smile and gave a new order.
… …
The Dark Elf slowly landed on the windowsill on the second floor of the Hearthstone Tavern.
This was Josiah's study. Josiah was sitting in the study with his eyes closed. A white cat was yawning in boredom on Josiah's head.
Qiao Xiu was in a state of meditation, but if the white cat was lying on his head, it meant that Qiao Xiu was writing a new program while meditating.
When the Dark Elf landed on the table in front of Josiah in the form of a crow, Josiah woke up from his meditative state and opened his eyes.
"Qianmian, what's the big news this time?" Josiah looked at his chief reporter.
"The big news is that someone wants to buy your life."
The crow hopped a few times on Josiah's table and jumped onto a stack of books so that its eyes were level with Josiah's.
"This isn't the first time."
Josiah had encountered many 'terrorist attacks' from the Court of Heresy, so he was basically used to it by now.
"This time it's not the Court of Heresy. Someone asked the Yaffelk's Snake to do this … dangerous job," the Dark Elf said.
"Then Qianmian, do you know the price the client offered? My life shouldn't be just a little bit valuable, right? "
Hearing Josiah's words, the Dark Elf inexplicably heard the 'bragging' tone in Josiah's voice.
It was indeed an extremely difficult task to kill Josiah in Noland now. The mercenary group that could handle this task was probably only the Yaffelk's Snake.
"A large amount of money is secondary. The key is that some of the mercenaries in the Yaffelk's Snake have been affected by the Grey Fog. Their employer provided a potion that can cure the Grey Fog."
"A potion that can cure the effects of the Grey Fog?"
Josiah's expression instantly became serious when he heard this.
"Qianmian, can you find out who their employer is?"
"It's a little difficult, but if you spend some time, you can find out."
The Dark Elf saw that Josiah was not afraid of the Yaffelk's Snake, so there was no reason to continue to remind him about how dangerous this mercenary group was.
"I'll have to trouble you. I heard from the prophet that my eldest sister recently had symptoms of headache. It should be related to the effects of the Grey Fog," Josiah said.
If there really was a potion that could cure it, then the situation of the Underworld turning into ash could be solved.
"The High Elves also have the ability to purify the effects of the Grey Fog," the Dark Elf reminded Josiah.
"I'm still farming the High Elves' favorability to ask them to purify the Grey Fog. I might only be able to do it after the favorability reaches Friendly."
The reason why Josiah hadn't set foot on the Sky Castle Assequero was because the High Elves had yet to understand the benefits of the Magic Net.
This needed to wait for the girl named Ahr to accumulate enough fans before the power of faith gathered on her would attract the attention of some other High Elves.
This might take some time.
"I understand."
The Dark Elf in the form of a crow nodded, flapped her wings and left Josiah's study.
Not long after she left, Josiah received a message from the Frost Owl.
"It might take another half a year before we can go to Noland. My friends are facing too many problems."
The Frost Owl's message was accompanied by an emoticon of an owl sighing.
"This can be taken slowly. I'm in Noland 400 days a year," Josiah immediately replied to the King of the Land of Frost.
Josiah had been busy writing new programs during this time, so he rarely paid attention to what was happening in the Land of Frost. However, he would occasionally chat with the King through messages.
"The Flame Relayer, I have a question."
An owl with a bashful expression attached to the message.
"What is it?"
"Can Noland buy the leaves of the World Tree?"
