Chapter 342: Haishang Thieves Group
The matter of Herzperona came to an end. After Luo Qiu said goodbye to the "Glorious Knight", he returned to the inn, packed up simply, and left this adventurer's city with Crimson.
"We came in a hurry this time, but we will be back soon. Next time it won't be so peaceful." Luo Qiu looked up at the huge city in the distance and talked to himself.
Black Nightmare was pulling the cart. Don't say that this guy's leg strength was much stronger than that of a horse. If an ordinary horse was a Wuling Hongguang, then Black Nightmare would be a supercar at full power.
Luo Qiu reinforced the carriage with a magic barrier, so no matter how bumpy the outside world is, it will not affect him. This way, he can have a good rest.
Shenhong was massaging Luo Qiu's shoulders from behind with a very skillful technique. She looked at Luo Qiu's sleeping face, and a layer of blush appeared on her delicate little face as she thought of something.
After hesitating for a moment, Shenhong bravely stretched out a finger and gently touched Luo Qiu's lips.
Touch and leave!
A hint of excitement flashed in her deep red eyes, and she felt her magical heart beating so hard that it was almost overloaded.
After a long time, Shen Hong finally calmed down. She lowered her eyebrows and continued to massage Luo Qiu's shoulders...
On the official road from Herzperona to the Principality of Saint Gamma, many people saw a strange scene.
A huge black horse with a single horn was pulling a carriage at full speed, raising large clouds of dust wherever it passed, causing many people to complain. However, this one-horned black horse ran so fast that no one could catch up with it. Even some magical beasts could not keep up. What was even more strange was that no one had ever seen the coachman driving the carriage.
While Luo Qiu was traveling day and night, the situation in the Principality of Saint Gamma was not peaceful either.
There is no doubt about Nelise's popularity. As a famous goddess singer, her coming to the Principality of Saint Gamma to hold a concert is definitely welcomed by the whole country. Even the king of the Principality of Saint Gamma came out to speak and said that she would give the greatest convenience and care.
But recently, some rumors have emerged from nowhere that this goddess singer is not a human at all but a pure-blooded elf.
Some people scoffed at the rumor and didn't believe it at all, some became even more excited and their cooking skills increased dramatically, and some had flickering eyes, as if they had some special ideas.
You know, humans yearn for beautiful things, and elves are enough to satisfy all human yearnings.
Pure and noble!
In the war thousands of years ago, the elves were regarded as a thorn in the side by Barbatos, who sent his capable men to attack them. Fortunately, the elves had good combat power, but they also suffered heavy losses after solving these troubles. Later, the Elf Queen led the elven elders to participate in the "Leadership Crusade", which made the already declining elves even worse.
The Queen was severely injured, most of the elders died, and even the Tree of Life, the lifeline of the elves, began to wither.
Eventually, the Elf Queen had to create a barrier to isolate the Elfland from the outside world, and she herself fell into a deep sleep.
Since then, the elves have rarely appeared and have lived in seclusion. Most of those wandering around are half-elves. Occasionally, when a pure-blooded elf appears, it will attract the attention of countless people.
Pure-blooded elves are of infinite value!
Even if the other party is a famous goddess singer, there will still be people who take risks under the temptation of huge benefits.
In the dark night, several blurry figures were moving quickly on the streets of Fancheng. They skillfully avoided the detection of the night patrol soldiers on the streets and ran towards the Fancheng Mansion.
Since arriving in the Principality of Saint Gamma, Nelise has been living in the Vancheng Mansion to prepare for the concert.
"Boss, if Nylis is really an elf, then we'll be rich. A drop of elf blood can be sold for a high price on the black market. We can keep her in captivity."
"That's a good idea, but I heard that a foreign king has offered a huge reward and wants to marry an elf as his queen..."
"Hehe, pure-blooded elves are living treasures. We, the Haishang Thieves Group, must not let them go."
"Even if Nylis is not an elf, it's worth it just to take advantage of her identity as a goddess singer."
Several people from the 'Haishang Thieves' approached the Fancheng Mansion cautiously while having a brief conversation.
They had already disguised themselves and sneaked into Brahma City, and had found out where Nellis was. They also spent several days figuring out the security system around Brahma City Mansion, and were ready to get Nellis tonight. It must be said that these bandits were really bold, daring to act directly in a key city like Brahma City.
When they were still some distance away from Fancheng Mansion, several members of the 'Haishang Thieves' stopped. They had been observing for several days and found that Nylis would pass this road almost every night.
Although Nylis is surrounded by many guards, their "Sea Sorrow Thieves Group" is not a pushover. The name of "Sea Sorrow Thieves Group" makes the Adventurer's Guild helpless.
There was a team of gold-level adventurers who went to encircle and suppress the "Haishang Bandits" but returned empty-handed.
"Boss, I have contacted the intelligence dealer. Nylis will definitely pass by here tonight. It will take about half an hour."
"Very good." The leader of the bandit group, Harald, nodded with satisfaction and ordered, "Hurry up and make arrangements. I have accurate information. The profit from this vote may allow us to retire early. We must ensure that everything goes well."
"Don't worry, boss!"
The magician chanted the spell softly, casting protective and support magic on everyone in advance.
"Steel armor enhancement!"
"Negative defense!"
"Keep going with your strength!"
"Double magic barrier!"
A series of support magic is enough to raise the warrior's strength by more than one level.
"Haha, I feel safe with Yolain here." A member of the thieves' group clenched his fists and laughed, "Having such power gives us confidence. Is magic really omnipotent?"
"In the world of magic, everything is possible." Magician Yolain said lightly.
"I really envy you magicians."
"Shh, keep your voices down, the prey is coming." The member of the thieves' gang in charge of reconnaissance suddenly said.
Everyone immediately shut up, slowly drew out their weapons, held their breath, and entered hunting mode.
After about ten minutes, the goddess singer's carriage team became faintly visible. There were more than twenty guards around the carriages, guarding them tightly without leaving any blind spots.
In the carriage, Nellis was chatting with Mengli.
"Lord Mengli, the concert will start in a few days. Why hasn't Lord Knight come yet? I heard that Hertzperona is not peaceful recently. I wonder if they are in any trouble." Nelise said with a bitter face.
"Don't worry, no one in the world can be a trouble to Luo Qiu." Meng Li has full confidence in Luo Qiu.
"That's right. He is the Knight after all." Nelise nodded.
"Hmm?" Meng Li suddenly frowned. She sensed a faint murderous aura.
As a true vampire, Meng Li's sensitivity to scent is far greater than that of humans. He can sense the malicious intent of the 'Haishang Thieves' even from several streets away.
