The civilians of the Alman caravan were all killed by the soldiers in the previous battle.

Although the cloud horses pulling the cart ran a little, they didn't run very far.

Most of them were recovered.

However, only he, Tina, Keith and Masaka were left in Alman's caravan.

Then there are Anno and Liz, who go by the alias 'An', and three elves!

With so few people and dozens of carriages, the speed was much slower.

On the way, Annuo and Tina recounted their experiences of meeting Phil, and got confirmation from Phil.

Ashley and Green expressed their gratitude to Anno and Tina.

No matter how angry they were, they could not show disrespect to the person who saved Phil.

However, this matter cannot be left alone.

Ashe prepared to return to the royal city and report to the embassy.

The king of the Kingdom of Nergal must give an explanation to the elves and find out who is behind this.

As An Nuo wished, he gained the friendship of the three people.

At least Phil's friendship with Anno is extremely sincere!

Because of the "feat" of breaking his arm, Green gave Anno two bottles of diluted Fountain of Life after Anno repeatedly said that he was an adventurer and would often encounter various dangers and injuries during his adventures.

An Nuo said stingy in his heart.

But after seeing Green's painful expression, he knew that this thing might be quite precious to Green.

However, as long as I get close to the elves, I will still have the chance to get the Fountain of Life in the future.

Ashe and Green are both elves whose ages are unknown.

An Nuo knew that it would be difficult for him to gain their true friendship.

But there is still a young elf who is not very worldly-wise - Annuo does not know Phil's real age at this time.

Phil's body shape and personality are basically the same as the sixteen-year-old girl Tina.

This made Annuo subconsciously think of Phil as a human girl like Tina.

On the way to the royal city, Annuo told Phil and Tina about his experiences along the way after a little bit of artistic processing.

From accepting tasks commissioned by villagers, to going deep into the mountains to find monsters to fight, and to helping the residents of Gray Dream Town resolve the curse incident.

An Nuo did not tell the truth about what happened in Gray Dream Town. He just talked about what he could.

Even so, Phil and Tina were full of curiosity about Annuo's adventures during this period.

Even Keith and Masaka, who were eavesdropping nearby, were filled with longing for the life of an adventurer who traveled around the world and accepted missions on the journey, as described by Annuo.

Not only can you improve your strength, but you can also earn money for travel.

You can even become a village hero like Anno.

Neither Keith nor Ashe thought Anno was lying.

After all, the latter is a professional who can kill a fourth-level warrior across levels!

"I have heard a little about the adventurer you mentioned."

Green said, "I heard that the adventurers originated from the southern border of the Kingdom of Nigar.

The Adventurer's Guild recently spread the news that there was a giant dragon in the Sunset Land in the East, and the guild's president even went there to hunt the dragon.

The news reached the royal capital a few days ago, and many mercenary groups and professionals went to the Sunset Land to join in the fun.

Some of our people have also gone there!"

"I also know this news, but the intelligence said that the dragon's level is fourth level, so I don't dare to go!"

Anno burst into laughter.

He walked slowly all the way here, and it took him about ten days.

It was normal for such an alarming news to be heard in the royal city.

“That’s why I decided to venture out and improve my strength.

But right now, there are too few adventurer guilds.

In the future, every city and even every town will have an Adventurer's Guild.

No matter where we go, we just need to go to the local Adventurer's Guild to look for quests!

Unlike now, every time I go to a place, I still need to promote myself, and there is no guarantee that someone will be willing to entrust me with the project! ”

When he said this, it was already dark.

In the distance, the huge outline of the royal city of Sodar appeared in Annuo's sight.

“When I was in the South Territory, I heard that adventurers were planning to open a guild in the Royal City.

Although I am just an ordinary adventurer, I also want to contribute to the development of the Adventurer's Guild.

This is why I came all the way to the Royal City!"

"The Royal City is going to open an Adventurer's Guild as well?"

Several people present were a little surprised.

The current royal city is still dominated by mercenary groups.

Individual professionals are rarely entrusted with tasks.

Unless he is not only strong but also has a good reputation - no one wants to entrust a task to someone, pay a deposit, and then the individual professional runs away with the deposit.

Although the mercenary group charges a high price, at least they have a base and cannot run away.

If the Adventurer's Guild could be opened in the Royal City, it would instantly attract the attention of many individual professionals.

Since the Adventurer's Guild's rewards are lower than those of the Mercenary Group, it is not difficult to get missions.

The prerequisite is that the Adventurer's Guild can be opened!

As the capital of the Kingdom of Nigar, the forces here are complicated and intricate.

Many mercenary groups have backgrounds behind them.

If the Adventurer's Guild wants to take a piece of the pie from the mercenary group, it cannot do so without a strong background!

…

Selby City!

When Earl Edward heard the news from his subordinates that Horace was missing, he angrily smashed the teacup in his hand and said angrily, "Useless! All of you are a bunch of useless! Get out!"

The fourth-level guard who was kneeling at the door to report lowered his head and left the living room without saying a word.

"My Lord Earl, things have come to this point, and you have to solve it yourself."

A man wearing a half-mask was sitting in the reception room. He watched the guards retreat and said in a deep voice, "Since the goods have not been delivered yet, this matter has nothing to do with the Marquis!"

"I see!"

Earl Edward replied with a gloomy expression.

He knew the consequences of catching elves and selling them being exposed.

Once the evidence is brought to his head, the royal family will definitely hand him over in order to avoid diplomatic disputes.

And as long as there is evidence, the nobles from other aristocratic factions will not be able to save him.

Even if you are a marquis, it is difficult to escape once you get stuck in it.

That's why the masked man said that.

While Earl Edward made huge profits from this business, he also had to bear the risks involved.

After watching the masked man leave, Earl Edward sat in a chair and began to ponder.

“Fortunately, this slave trader is secretly serving me, and on the surface he is still Viscount Adam’s man in the North.

At this point, the only option is to destroy this hidden chess piece.

And there's the missing Horace!

The clue they are pursuing should be true.

Since there are traces of fighting, it means that someone rescued the elves and killed Horace and others!

Well, we also need to find a way to disassociate ourselves from these soldiers.

Fortunately, they had prepared in advance that if Horace found the elf, in order to prevent the information from being leaked, all the soldiers except Horace would be killed.

The order was given secretly by subordinates and no one knew about it.

Even if someone traces Horace back to me, as long as I don't admit it, they won't have any solid evidence!

Without evidence, you can't do anything to me, the Earl!"
