William skillfully avoided the eyes of the road and approached the target's residence along the alley.

Unexpectedly, the other party had guessed his arrival and had arranged tables and chairs.

"You arrived later than I expected."

Mysterious words are never popular. Rather than communicating, William wants to kill the target as soon as possible and go back to hand in the mission.

"Are you a human? Where is the elf who came with you? He abandoned you and asked you to test possible traps? That's bullshit! I knew it."

William was sure that he was the only one carrying out the mission. If the elves were willing to get their hands dirty, they would have solved this target long ago.

Calmly taking the crossbow out of his robe, William took aim in a short moment without any resistance from the other party. Before pulling the trigger, William heard a meaningful last word.

"You don't know anything. Do it. A smart man should have taken the opportunity to escape instead of continuing to serve an elf. Have you seen my fate? It is not a good thing to know your master too well. Young man, live in ignorance. .”

The arrow and the brain were nailed to the wall behind the corpse. William didn't intend to know too much, he just took money to do things.

He just needs to know that the elves can make him rich, and that's enough.

In Castle Kron, Teclis planned to visit the embassy directly after arriving in Altdorf. The elf ambassador who stayed behind in the empire was named Falfian Shiraghi. He was one of the two mage lords who initially supported the empire with Teclis.

For some reason, Prince Saffrey was not allowed to embark on the path of a magic swordsman by the White Tower. His research on magic is probably far inferior to that of other elf mages.

Teclis has always been worried after tonight's incident, because Falfian's attainments in swordsmanship and magic are not as good as Anurion's. If Anurion is really acting in secret, Shiroishi may be unable to resist. life danger.

All of his magical talents seemed to have been transferred to diplomacy, and while in Ulthuan, Shirogisi was determined to be the destined ambassador to foreign countries.

After meeting Magnus twenty years ago, Falfian stayed in the Empire. To this day, the original group of elven diplomats have changed again and again, and he still stays in Altdorf to perform his duties.

It is not easy for elves to stay in the human empire. Elves can easily get tired of human life, and their mental state may even deteriorate due to long-term interaction with humans.

Those elf ambassadors who were transferred back to Ulthuan all voluntarily applied to leave due to poor mental health.

But Falfian has a strong sense of mission and is proud of it.

Even if his family urged him to return to Ulthuan, they could not bring the stubborn high elf envoy back to his homeland.

He has the characteristics of Asul - always perfect, his beautiful body and facial features are just the perfect embellishment, his powerful and steady voice is enough to attract the Phoenix King's favor, no matter which language it is, his pronunciation is almost perfect in Falfian's mouth .

The nobles all like him, and the Phoenix King has high hopes for him, otherwise he would not be qualified to take on this important task. Although he is unwilling to admit it, the rise of the human empire is inevitable, and enlightened elves like Teclis know it.

Every elf who has been with Shirogan will not hate him. They only hope that a happy interpersonal relationship can save his life, so that the other person will not kill him out of love for his compatriots.

Teclis had personally told Falfian about the knowledge of spiritual vein magic. If he was unfortunately killed, the mastermind behind the scenes would most likely be heading for the guiding stone near Altdorf.

Of course, there is another possibility.

Falfian's demands on himself are too high, and Teclis is worried that too many responsibilities will overwhelm him. In a human world, elves like Shiraishi have absolutely no chance to relax.

In other words, he has been under heavy pressure for twenty years. If Falfian does not report some abnormalities when he arrives in Altdorf, he may also be corrupted. Teclis does not want to see such a future.

It was bad enough to lose a nature-loving hermit, but to lose a well-regarded ambassador would probably make the Phoenix Court feel sad.

Falfian's main task is to convey the news of Ulthuan to the archmages of Ulthuan who are conducting research in the empire, such as Anurion, the Green of Sulfri, or Teclis.

He also has the important responsibility of bringing information from the Empire to the Phoenix King. He is the hub for information exchange between the elves in the Empire and Ulthuan.

The Phoenix King provided the embassy with a sea guard team, but the sea guards not only had to take care of the safety of the embassy, ​​they were also responsible for protecting the elf merchant ships visiting Altdorf.

While these tasks are being carried out, they may not have many members who are free to protect the ambassador's personal safety.

There were only one hundred and twenty sea guards assisting in the security of the embassy. The two Asul navy lieutenants each took about fifty soldiers to perform surface missions. There were not many sea guards left in the embassy.

For an Archmage who graduated from the White Tower, a small number of Triton Guards is not an obstacle to achieving the goal, unless Falfian notices Anurion's abnormality in advance and sends Triton Guards to arrest the Archmage first. Catch him off guard.

For now, the best-case scenario has not happened.

Captain Ofilion, who was responsible for personal protection of Falfian, could only be said to be well-trained. It was okay for him to defend against Druchi's assassins. Teclis did not think that he had the ability to fight against a well-prepared archmage.

According to the previous intelligence in the Shadow Forest, the mastermind behind the scenes has many human servants. On the battlefield, an elf soldier can withstand a group of human warriors, but in the complex city alleys, accidents around the corner can easily take away the momentum. A weak elf warrior.

It only takes dozens of crossbows to fire volleys to kill elf soldiers who have undergone decades of military training - no amount of training can turn ordinary creatures into super creatures that are not afraid of bullets and arrows.

If Drucci's shadow is still hidden behind the scenes, the ambassador's own safety will be even more unpredictable.

However, Teclis would rather believe that there is a dark elf warlock who is sowing discord. The green Anurion is a traditional scholar, and his corruption is still suspected by Teclis.

Things are unpredictable, and reason tells the Archmage that it is entirely possible for Anurion to be captured by Tzeentch because of his obsession with knowledge of vegetation.

Tigris shared his speculations and thoughts with Lynch as usual, but was ignored as expected.

For Lynch, instead of guessing who is behind the scenes, it's better to just bring it out and talk about it face to face.

Facts have proven that communication can solve most problems. Many times conflicts extend from misunderstandings. Effective, direct and simple communication is all that is needed to eliminate conflicts.

There is absolutely no need for Teclis to worry about the relationship between humans and elves provoked by Druchi.
