Chapter 261 The time has come

Due to the limitations of poverty, there is rarely a large-scale turmoil in the Willen area, at most it is an armed battle between villages to seize food.

The teachers and students who came to Goswellen to buy daily necessities from Aritusa College have discovered something wrong today.

The atmosphere in the city suddenly became depressed, and the dwarf who used to talk loudly suddenly became low-key, as if he was guarding against something.

The baron's eyeliner and the spy Redanian in the city also felt the surging undercurrent.

The Baron's eyeliner followed the dwarves alertly and monitored their actions at all times.

The spy Redania kept a low profile for the time being, passed the news back to his country and handed it over to the decision of the court sorcerer Philippa Ehart, who led the action.

On the second floor of a seemingly ordinary house, a young man with a popular appearance sighed and complained to his companions around him: "I always feel that something big may happen recently."

"Maybe."

The older companion was maintaining the dagger in his hand, and he replied with a frown: "This depressing atmosphere reminds me of the precursor of the assassination that Tritog had a few years ago."

"You mean..."

"Well, it was the time when His Majesty Vizmir II was stabbed."

The spy standing by the window shook his head: "It shouldn't be..."

A silver flashed suddenly in the spy's sight, and his face changed slightly.

"Old Parker, come and take a look, I seem to have found a big fish."

The spy who wiped the dagger was the leader among the two.

Hearing the call of his companions, he put down the maintenance work that had not been completed and quietly came to the backlit area by the window.

Following the fingers of his companion, the middle-aged spy, known as Parker, suddenly shrank his pupils.

He saw Xiri, who was taking on an old woman's task.

"Sintra Cub Lion?! How could she be here?"

After pondering for a moment, Parker patted his companion on the shoulder.

"Well done, continue to monitor her whereabouts, I will tell the warlock of the commandment."

‘Has you taken the bait?’

Although Xili's perception ability is not as sharp as the witch hunter, she still vaguely noticed that she was staring at her eyes in the darkness when she was prepared.

The task that Xili received from the old woman was very simple, it was nothing more than a trip to Xiannied Island and sending a letter to her grandmother, who was a teacher at Aritusa College.

Yes, grandma.

The old woman looks about 60 years old, her grandmother is still alive, and is likely to look younger than her.

Because her grandmother is a sorcerer.

Usually, the old woman would ask students who came into the city to help deliver the letter.

Because Margarita received a reminder from Xin Sheng that the city might have been in chaos recently, she recalled the students back to Xiannid Island in advance. The old woman had no choice but to entrust Xiri, who was looking for a job everywhere.

The delivery task was very smooth, and there was no accident in the whole process, but Xili could vaguely feel someone following behind him.

...

"Swish!"

A dark blue light suddenly flashed in the abandoned palace in Sinnied Island.

This is the movement caused by teleportation.

A handsome male elf with high cheekbones strolled out of the palace, wearing a robe covered with snowflakes.

"Ba~bha~"

Slapping off the snow on the robe, the male elf took out a blue diamond crystal, and the side that leaned towards Goswellen began to shine.

"Laura's descendants, it's a shame that you can escape for so long under Arretin's pursuit."

Turning his head and looking at the Aritusa Academy, which had already opened the defensive barrier, the elf man frowned slightly.

"What's the situation? Is there a danger nearby? It won't be her provocation again."

Thinking of this possibility, the elf man sighed helplessly and accelerated his pace toward the bridge.

At the same time, Baron Punato basically confirmed the fact that the gray-forest bank had a bad intention through the report of the city's eyeliner.

The knights mobilized from all over the territory have already assembled outside the city and can rush into the city just by waiting for Baron Punato's orders.

In the basement of the bank, the Graybeard brothers are talking to a lean elf with a face covering.

"You have decided?"

"I've decided!"

The irritable brother Nath said viciously: "We are tolerant enough to that damn baron. I didn't expect that he would kill him in order not to pay back the money."

Doron sighed helplessly: "It's over, we have only two choices."

"First, leave the huge vault and escape, and live a displaced life from now on."

"The second is to fight. As long as we can win the first battle, we can gain some time for us to transfer our wealth."

Doron looked at the lean elf in front of him and said, "According to the agreement, as long as the Squirrel Party helps us successfully escape from Goswellen, the Ashbeard family will hand over 20% of the wealth in the vault as reward."

The expression under the thin elf's mask moved slightly, as if it was a smile.

"Ha~ Then just say a word."

"If you want me to tell me, you might as well take this opportunity to officially join the Squirrel Party."

"After so many years, have you not suffered enough in the hands of humans?"

Doron shook his head calmly: "Not all human beings discriminate against us, and businessmen still regard peace as the most important thing."

"Temolia can't stay. At worst, she can go south to Nifgad, who is relatively mild to the inhuman race, and she can always find a way to survive."

"I am frank, your approach is too extreme, and you may not end up with a good ending."

"A good end?"

The thin elf twitched his shoulders and let out a low laugh: "Can we get a good end without standing up and resisting?"

"Well, since you don't want to join, I won't force you."

"Sooner or later, you will see through the extreme xenophobic nature of human beings, and I hope you don't regret it then."

...

In addition to the two forces that were about to conflict, the Redania spy who were hiding in the city in a low-key manner also began to move.

As Xin Sheng expected, when he learned that Cialis was at Goswellen, Philiba immediately ordered to bring her back to Choi Tog at all costs.

Ignoring the depressing atmosphere of the storm in the city, more than a dozen humans dressed in black night clothes surrounded the Yinlu Tavern.

The chaos in the city provided excellent cover for their actions, and even if there was some noise, it would not cause too much suspicion.

This was done on purpose by Xin Sheng, who stirred up the conflict between the two sides in order to create an excellent motive for the Redanians.

At this time, Xin Sheng and Natiya were no longer in the tavern.

The two were ambushed in an empty house opposite the tavern and watched the Ridanians' infiltration throughout the whole process.

Drink cat-eye potion that enhances night vision in advance, and the two of them can see the nearby scene clearly on the dark night.

"Xin, how do you know that the Graybeard Bank and the Squirrel Party have collusion?"

In the last leisure period before the action began, Natiya asked Xin Sheng questions in confusion.

"If you guessed it wrong, wouldn't it hurt the innocent?"

"innocent?"

Xin Sheng patted Natiya's head with a chuckle, which caused her dissatisfied complaints.

"Don't pat my head! I'm not a child anymore!".

“Yes ~ Yes ~”

Xin Sheng rubbed Natiya's hair pamperedly: "I thought you were mature enough, but it seems that you still don't know the dark side of human nature thoroughly enough."

With a sneer, Xin Sheng asked with a smile: "Natya, think about it carefully. Will those who can maintain bank lending business in such a chaotic world really be innocent?"

"Besides, I just intensified the already existing conflicts between the two sides in advance. No one of the parties in this conflict is truly innocent. They are just fighting for their own interests from different perspectives."

"And their selfishness is just for us, that's all, don't think too much."
