It was late at night.
Most of the streets in Silvermoon City were very quiet, and there were only passers-by hurriedly passing by.
Especially near the Half Elven Palace, there were fully armed patrols of the Blood Cavalry everywhere. The rebellion had been over for almost a month, but the atmosphere here was still tense and dignified.
Suddenly, the south gate of the palace opened slowly, and then a thin half-elf walked out quickly.
He looked to be in his sixties or seventies, with gray hair and a solemn face. He was striding towards the south city under the cold moonlight.
On his left and right, there were two armored guards accompanying him.
As a doctor in the palace, Cliff was generally not allowed to leave the palace. This time, it was because his grandson outside the palace suddenly fell seriously ill. Cliff pleaded with many people, and even Queen Aisha was alarmed, so he was allowed to leave.
But because of his special profession, even if he left the palace, he couldn't walk around freely. He had to be accompanied by special guards, who were both for protection and monitoring.
Cliff was worried about his grandson's illness, so he walked in a hurry without stopping.
But just as he passed by a tavern, the wooden door suddenly opened without any warning. A drunkard staggered out, his mouth shouting nonsense, and was about to bump into Cliff who was passing by.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
The accompanying guards hurried forward, trying to block the drunkard.
But when he just touched the drunkard's body, a sharp pain suddenly came from his lower abdomen.
"Assassin!"
The guard immediately realized that something was wrong, and shouted at the top of his voice.
The other guard didn't go to rescue his companion, but immediately pulled Cliff's arm and ran away. At the same time, he began to shout loudly, trying to attract the patrolling Blood Cavalry.
However, at this moment, a black carriage without a badge just passed by.
The horse that pulled the carriage seemed to be frightened by the shout of the guard, and suddenly went crazy. Under the great force, the carriage swayed as if it was drunk.
Bang!
Amidst this shaking, a black wooden chest fell from the carriage and heavily smashed onto the ground.
Crack!
The wooden box was like a watermelon that fell to the ground, and countless small sawdust and small things that were shining with metal splashed everywhere.
Ding ding dang dang!
It was only then that the people present realized that the little things that were shining with a metallic light were all copper coins!
Time seemed to have been paused. Even the guards who were escorting Cliff were stunned.
After a brief moment of silence, there was an explosion of noise.
No one knew who shouted, but in an instant, all the drinkers in the tavern rushed out and pounced on the copper coins scattered all over the floor like hungry wolves.
Moreover, as time passed, more and more people came to snatch the money. It was as if the entire street was alarmed.
Among the crowd, Cliff was like a small boat drifting with the waves. He finally squeezed out of the crowd. Just as he heaved a sigh of relief, he turned around and saw that the person who pulled his arm wasn't one of the accompanying guards!
"Who are you?"
"Shh! If you dare to make a sound, you're dead! "
Clive only felt that the stranger in black's hand was like an iron clamp that was choking him, and he was unable to break free at all. Furthermore, he was also acutely aware that a sharp blade was pointed at his back.
At this time, the Blood Cavalry who was patrolling nearby also rushed over. After seeing the chaos in front of them, they immediately took out their weapons and began to maintain order.
Cliff was anxious and was thinking about how to let the Blood Cavalry notice him. But at this time, the man in black behind him reminded him with a cold tone:
"Don't do stupid things. Otherwise, not only you, but also your family will die!"
Cliff hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't dare to ask for help from the Blood Cavalry in front of him.
And the Blood Cavalry didn't notice Cliff in the shadow. Their attention was all attracted by the chaos in front of the tavern.
When they finally dispersed the crowd and found the bodies of the two escorting guards, Cliff had already disappeared.
In an abandoned warehouse in the south of the city.
The man in black pushed Cliff in rudely.
The old and weak Cliff staggered and rolled on the cold ground.
When he stood up in shock, he saw that there were seven or eight strangers in black around him.
"Who are you? Why do you kidnap me? I'm a doctor in the palace. If Her Majesty knows about this, she will never let you go! "Cliff roared in a threatening manner.
But such a threat was obviously not taken seriously by the men in black.
They didn't speak, but just looked at Cliff coldly, as if they were looking at a corpse.
The leader of the men in black took off his hat and threw it aside. Then he moved a shabby chair and sat in front of Cliff casually. He smiled slightly and said:
"Mr. Cliff, we just want to ask you a question this time."
"What's the question?" Cliff had realized that something was wrong. The eyes of the man in black were like a poisonous snake, drilling into his heart.
"After Marquis Vincent in the Eastern Region was assassinated, did you go to check the situation?"
Sure enough.
Cliff's face suddenly changed and became as pale as a dead fish.
"You deceived me to go out of the palace, right? My grandson is not sick at all, right? "
The leader of the men in black smiled and took out a knife from the upper pocket of his clothes. He played with it casually in his hand and said slowly:
"Mr. Cliff, have you forgotten about your situation? Here, it's not your turn to ask questions. We will ask, you will answer. "
Cliff's face turned green and white. His eyes were also erratic. One moment he was scared, the next he was excited. Finally, his face turned gray and he said in a pleading tone:
"Everyone, it's not that I don't want to answer your questions, but once I answer, I will definitely die!"
The man in black calmly said: "Don't worry, as long as you cooperate, we will definitely protect you to leave Silvermoon City safely. Also, we will give you a large sum of money and let you go to the Eastern Region to live comfortably for the rest of your life. "
"You are from the Eastern Region!" The fear on Cliff's face became more intense.
The man in black rolled his eyes and seemed to be speechless at Cliff's lack of awareness. He urged: "Alright, Mr. Cliff, quickly answer my question."
Cliff knelt down with a thud and complained tearfully, "Sir, I really can't answer! You tried every possible way to deceive me out of the palace and kidnapped me. Queen Aisha and Count Angele must have already heard the news.
At this time, the gate of Silvermoon City will definitely be sealed. We can't escape! "
The man in black sighed and said: "It seems that Mr. Cliff is still not willing to cooperate! Since that's the case, then I'm sorry. "
After saying that, the man in black stood up.
Following his movements, the two men in black beside him immediately strode forward and firmly restrained Cliff from both sides.
"What are you doing! You want to … Woo … "
Cliff was extremely frightened and struggled. Unfortunately, he could not break free from the man in black's restraint. At the same time, a piece of rag was stuffed in his mouth. This time, he could only make 'woo woo' sounds.
The leader of the black-clothed men slowly walked in front of Cliff. He gently pulled out Cliff's ring finger and stroked it gently.
But in the next second.
A silver light flashed and the ring finger was chopped off from Cliff's hand.
