The two girls walked up the stairs to the second floor while bickering, but their voices were as soft as their bodies, so no one noticed them. The second floor was still a long corridor, with several rooms on both sides. The doors were closed, and it was dark inside. It was hard to guess if the people behind the rooms were the same. But it was most likely, because when the two girls tiptoed past some of the doors, they heard faint voices talking behind them.
Logically speaking, they should quickly pass through such a dangerous place, but the little elf was interested in listening to the voices inside the room one by one. In the first room, there was the voice of the previous rough man and the voice of the young man called Efe. The two seemed to be discussing the previous plan, but she couldn't understand a single word, so she left the room in disappointment and went to the next door. Sunil leaned on her shoulder and didn't stop her. Instead, she asked curiously, "Who's inside?"
The little elf shook her head, indicating that there was no voice inside. She continued to move forward. In the third door, there were two voices that she hadn't heard before. She guessed that they were the two people who hadn't spoken.
"These two are the guards of the owner's wife." After listening for a while, she said to Sunil as if she had discovered a secret, "This candy shop must be very popular. Even the owner's wife has guards."
"Because she's not the owner's wife," Sunil replied.
"Why? Why do you say that?" The little elf raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Alright, I won't argue with you. If you say so, then so be it."
The two girls continued to move forward and came to the fourth door, which was also the last door. Not far away was the end of the corridor, where there was a staircase leading to the attic. The little elf stood in front of the door and listened carefully with her pointed ears. Not long after, she heard a strange voice, "It seems that someone is talking."
"Is it the old man and the woman?" Sunil asked.
The little elf listened and said, "No, it's the old man and the other old man."
"How can it be? Then there are seven people!"
"Maybe one of them didn't go down before. They need someone to keep a lookout."
"What are they talking about?" Xianni asked after a moment's thought.
"The first old man was reporting something to the second old man. The second old man asked the first old man how it was going. The first old man said that it was going well. Then, they said something that even the little elf couldn't understand. Something about 'long live', it was really strange. Then the second old man urged the first old man to hurry up. The second old man seemed to be complaining about something. "
"Enough, enough. You're making me dizzy," Sidney interrupted. "Can't you put it in simpler terms?"
"But I don't understand what they're talking about!"
Shanni glared at her. "You're such an idiot."
Boris Anvil had a resounding name. As a dwarf, he was a member of the famous Anvil Family. But unlike his brethren who dug tunnels in the mountains, he yearned for the outside world and not the dull and boring tunnels. In the eyes of everyone, he was an anomaly, which was why he left his people early on and ventured into the human world. Now, he was an alchemist with some reputation. He had a respectable status, received a generous pension, and lived a good life that his compatriots in the tunnels couldn't even imagine. He didn't regret his choice at all. In fact, he was proud of it. But that didn't mean that everything went smoothly. Sometimes, he still had to face some troublesome matters.
For example, at this moment, he had no choice but to grumble and grumble as he erased the magic circle on the table. Even if someone gave him 500 Eagle Coins, he wouldn't want to look at that damned face anymore.
"Damn it!" He muttered to himself. "He makes it sound so easy. You just have to do this and that. Damn it, why didn't he try it himself?"
He couldn't help but grumble, "I'm an alchemist, not a spy. Those guys are the real spies. As long as I'm a little careless, they will drag me out, peel my skin, and pull out my tendons. I dare to swear in the name of Mother Earth that those cold-blooded people won't even blink an eye. Damn it, if I wasn't blinded by greed, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess. Well, even if that's the case, don't think that Uncle Boris is easy to mess with. Hmph, if you dare to nag at me like this again, Uncle Boris won't do it. I'll let you fools understand that the men of the Anvil Family won't be moved by mere silk! "
The dwarven alchemist opened the drawer as he spoke. Inside the drawer were bottles and jars of potions that he had refined. Of course, these were the less expensive types of potions, which was why he dared to temporarily store them here. As for the truly precious potions, Boris had always kept them close to his body. He took out a green paper package and carefully opened it. It was a portion of Sleeping Dragon Dust. Wizards often used small doses of this potion as incense to induce meditation, but in fact, large doses of Sleeping Dragon Dust had a very strong hypnotic effect. Moreover, this alchemy potion was not rare, so alchemists liked to use it for self-protection.
Although Boris had inherited the loud voice and bad temper of the dwarves, he rarely possessed the meticulousness of an alchemist. At the same time, he was like most people who dealt with magic. They all had one thing in common — they cherished their lives very much. Therefore, before going to bed every day, he used to make a simple trap with the Sleeping Dragon Dust to prevent any thieves from stealing his things or even killing him for money.
He picked up the Sleeping Dragon Dust, but still felt uneasy, so he grabbed a seed of the Shining Tree from the drawer and stuffed it into the pouch. Then, he walked towards the door. But on this day, when he carried the Sleeping Dragon Dust to the door as usual, he unexpectedly heard two chattering voices outside the door.
"Nonsense, you're the idiot. Judy didn't understand!"
"That's because your description was too bad!"
"Judy, who can't even understand the description of the elves, is useless!"
"Then there's no one in this world who can be useful!"
"Lawless!" Boris thought to himself. He subconsciously thought that there were two thieves outside his door. "Even burglars dare to openly discuss how to split the loot in front of the victim's door, and even brazenly argue. Do they really think that there's no justice here just because the rats of Jorgendy Ridge are here?"
The dwarf angrily opened the door, and the door opened with a click, revealing a human and a dragon outside.
The two of them were bickering at the door without any sense of crisis. They didn't expect the door to suddenly open. They were both stunned. A little elf, a pseudo-dragon, and an old dwarf holding the Sleeping Dragon's Dust. The three of them just stood there and looked at each other, speechless.
"Who are you?" Boris was stunned. No matter how much the dwarf grumbled, he would not think that the inexplicably cute little girl outside his door was a burglar.
But just as he opened his mouth, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew in from outside his room. The winter wind was so cold that the dwarf could not help but shiver. The little elf opposite him opened her mouth wide. "Achoo!" Boris sneezed a little, and a cloud of green smoke suddenly spread out from his hand and shrouded him. The little elf opened her eyes, and just as she saw this scene, the dwarf alchemist fell to the floor with a thud.
The sound of the dwarf falling to the ground was so heavy that a vigilant voice immediately came from the next room. "Who's outside!?"
Both the elf and Judy opened their mouths wide. Obviously, they did not expect to mess things up. They were discovered. That was their first thought. What should they do? That was their second thought, and there was no third thought. The two seemed to be petrified. Those people would definitely open the door and come out to check, and at this time, it would be too late for them to run to the attic, not to mention there were people upstairs. For a moment, they were at a loss and did not know what to do.
The sound of several doorknobs turning came from the corridor at the same time, and the little elf was so scared that her face turned ashen. "Use the cloak!" Judy screamed to remind her. Boris seemed to have just reacted and quickly pulled up the cloak to cover himself and Judy. In a flash, the two figures disappeared from the corridor.
The first to open the door and come out was Delfien. Judy had heard the elf describe this woman as very beautiful, but when she saw her face, she realized that it was true. The human girl was wearing a violet dress, and her long hair was tied in a waterfall to her waist. Her hair was the color of black sandalwood. In Cruz and Erouine, only people with the blood of the Miirnas could have such pure hair color. Black in the culture of the Cruz people represented mystery and misfortune, but it complemented her quiet temperament. Her eyes were like the stars in the night sky, her nose seemed to be carved out of jade, and her slightly pursed lips had a charm that could make any man go crazy. She stood there, her perfect figure could not be hidden even by the darkness of the night. Even if some people thought that she was the Goddess of the Night, it seemed to be a matter of course.
The others opened the door one after another, and a tall and strong man with a two-handed sword on his back came out. Two men dressed as guards, and a young man in a silver robe. When the four saw Boris on the ground, they could not help but exclaim in a low voice.
"Boris!"
"What happened!"
The two-handed swordsman reacted the fastest. He pulled out his greatsword and rushed to the door of the dwarf alchemist's room. But when he looked inside, the room was empty. It didn't look like someone had broken in. But of course, he didn't expect that beside him, the little Elf and Judy were hugging each other, shivering. Although the Elf's Cloak could hide them, it couldn't move. There weren't any obstacles in the corridor, so if these people took a few steps forward, they might bump into them.
Delfien frowned, looked at the stairs leading to the attic and said, "Go up and check!"
Her voice just fell, and the elf and Judy almost hugged each other and burst into tears. Because the two of them were hiding at the stairs leading to the attic, as long as these people passed by, it was impossible not to find them.
Hearing Delfien's order, the tall swordsman immediately put away his sword and turned to the attic. But before he could take a step, a cold voice came from the attic.
"If I were you, I would choose to stay there obediently."
This sudden voice startled everyone.
But Xianni was trying her best to signal the Elf with her eyes. She remembered clearly that this was the voice that had knocked them down from the sky.
Delfien heard this voice, first signaled the swordsman to stop, then raised her head and asked, "Who are you, sir? What did you do to Boris?"
The attic was silent for a moment.
Then the voice replied, "I am the same as you, a temporary guest here. As for what happened to your companion, it has nothing to do with me."
At this time, the tall swordsman had taken the opportunity to check the status of the dwarf alchemist. He found that the dwarf was lying on the floor, sleeping soundly, and did not seem to be injured. He used his hand to touch some of the green powder on the floor, then sniffed and showed a look of understanding. "It's the Sleeping Dragon's Dust."
"Boris is careful, he would never make such a mistake," Delfien replied as soon as she heard this. "Even if the Sleeping Dragon's Dust is his own, something must have happened just now. When I came out, I clearly heard the voice of someone else. Lady in the attic, I don't mean to offend you, but I think you must know what happened just now, right?"
When the two hiding under the cloak heard this sentence, they knew who she was talking about. They did not expect that the guy in the attic was so powerful that he even knew everything that happened below like the back of his hand. When the two thought of their purpose of coming here, they could not help but tremble in fear. Of course, it was nothing, but the more they trembled, the more they trembled. In the end, even the people outside could see it. When the swordsman with the two-handed greatsword saw the distortion in the air, he thought that it was a spatial turbulence and was startled. He quickly stepped back, but then he realized that something was wrong.
"Mr. Solinz, what's wrong?" Delfien frowned.
The swordsman did not answer. Instead, he used his sword to flick the two elves in front of everyone. At that moment, they were both wronged and scared. They could not help but burst into tears. "Wah wah wah, don't kill me, mother! I'm going to die! "
Everyone stared at this scene with their mouths agape.
Delfien seemed to have finally recognized the little one in front of her. "It's you!" She said in surprise, but suddenly realized something and frowned. "You were eavesdropping on us!"
"I, I, I didn't, wuwuwu!" The little elf panicked and denied.
"Mr. Solinz, catch her first!" Delfien said a little angrily.
"Ah, don't catch me!" The little elf was obviously scared out of her wits. She ran up the stairs with tears and snot running down her face. Shanny also flew up to block her path. "Little elf, run! I'll stop them!"
Unfortunately, before she could finish her sentence, Solinz grabbed her wings. "False dragon!" At first, the swordsman thought that Xianni was just a lizard. But as soon as she spoke, he immediately recognized the rare creature. False dragons were very knowledgeable and had high intelligence. They could even cast some small spells. It could be said that they were the rarest magic pet of a wizard. He could not help but shout in surprise. "You're lucky, Miss Delfien!"
"Let me go, you're hurting me, damn big guy!" Xianni screamed.
The little elf's face changed when she heard this. Xianni was her best friend. She would not let them take her away. "Let go of Xianni!" She suddenly turned around and rammed into the tall swordsman. Unfortunately, her small body didn't have any deterrent force. When she rammed into the swordsman's waist, she bounced off and landed on her butt beside Boli the Dwarf.
The two guards and the young man beside Delfien could not help but laugh at the scene.
The little elf was scared and angry, but she was more afraid that these people would take Xianni away. She took out a dagger with tears in her eyes and threw it at the big guy. Unfortunately, Solinz did not even look at it. He flicked the soft dagger away with his hand. She then took off her sword, crossbow bolts, and even flints and threw them at Solinz. These things did not hurt him at all, and he was too lazy to care about them. After all, he was a famous swordsman. Naturally, he would not care about a little girl. After the elf finished throwing her things, she grabbed a paper bag from the dwarf beside her and threw it at him. The paper bag hit Solinz and scattered into a cloud of red smoke.
This time, Solinz, who was unprepared, was in big trouble. "Pori's chili powder!" He shouted and immediately let go of Xianni. He covered his eyes and nose, but tears were already streaming down his face.
Xianni took the opportunity to fly to the little elf's side and looked at the scene with lingering fear.
"Damn it, you guys, stop her!" This time, it was Solinz's turn to shout with tears and snot. He was ashamed and angry. He did not expect to be tricked by a little girl in a moment of carelessness. Delphine looked at this scene and frowned. After receiving a nod from her, the two guards beside her smiled and approached the elf from both sides.
The little elf was terrified. When she realized that the thing on Bolly's body was very useful, she immediately groped around the poor old dwarf's body. Not long after, she pulled out a round, spherical object from the dwarf's pouch.
The others were fine, but the young man behind Delfien could not help but change his expression when he saw the object. "Don't lose it!"
He shouted, but unfortunately, the little fairy obviously couldn't do as he wished. When she heard this shout, her hand trembled in fright, and she directly threw the ball at the young man.
"Close your eyes!"
The young man shouted angrily.
