Silver Moon Elves in the Guard Squad
Byron.Toll stood on the street and casually recounted some things about the Dark Land.
Roy leaned against the wall and cast ' Holy Light Art '.
He recited the prayer skillfully, and a divine pattern appeared between his fingers...
Holding a ball of holy light in both hands, the warm radiance approached the wounds on the body, and those wounds immediately began to scab and heal.
"Your treatment technique is almost identical to that of High Priest Reed."
After Byron.Toll finished speaking, he dragged all the Black-Clothed Assassin lying in the street together and laid them side by side in the street...
He wanted to chat a little longer, but then Byron.Toll suddenly turned to look towards the port, and soon the figure of the Silvermoon Elven Guard appeared at the street corner.
Roy guessed that the fighting in the street might have attracted the Guard Squad of Castleton Harbour.
They were able to get here so quickly probably because some of their neighbors ran to the port Guard Squad to warn them.
"The Silvermoon Elven Guard is here. Can you handle this trouble?"
"Okay." Roy nodded.
Byron.Toll stared at Roy, who stood there calmly, and said, "If you want to know about the Dark Land, come to the tavern tomorrow night and I'll tell you something about High Priest Reed."
Roy nodded repeatedly; this was exactly what he wanted.
Byron.Toll ignored the Elven Guard rapidly approaching from the other side of the street. He turned and walked toward a lamppost. Roy didn't even see how he did it; he simply vanished into thin air from the street.
Perhaps this is the power of Second Rank powerhouse...
Roy stood on the street and couldn't help but think to himself.
The Elf Warrior of the port Guard Squad rode swiftly through Brown Street and stopped in front of a row of human corpses. Two Elf Warrior went to examine the bodies of the Black-Clothed Assassin, while the other Elven Guard went to Roy.
Roy recognized Captain Loya among the Silvermoon Elven Guard, and Captain Loya obviously recognized Roy as well. So he asked, "Roy, it's been a long time. Why is it that every time I see you... something troublesome always comes up?"
Roy gave a wry smile.
"Boss, those who died... were all humans, and all of them were killed by arrows. The archer who shot them was a master archer!" Two Elven Guard ran over and reported to Captain Loya.
Captain Loya nodded and said, "We need to check carefully and see if they have any identification on them."
The two Elven Guard immediately went back and began to carefully search the bodies of the Black-Clothed Assassin...
Captain Loya then looked at Roy, leaned closer, and Roy, "Do you know them?"
"I don't know him," Roy replied frankly.
"Do you know who's trying to cause you trouble?" Captain Roy continued to press.
"Have no idea!"
After saying this, Roy felt his words were a bit dry, so he added, "I've been living in the Pattington Plane, and I haven't spent much time in Castleton City, so I haven't had much contact with these people. Therefore, I don't know who wants to harm me. However, recently I've been doing some business with Imperial Merchant at the port and docks selling some Elementary Magic Herbs."
Captain Loya frowned and casually asked, "Do they owe you money?"
Roy nodded somewhat awkwardly and said, "Yes, I owe a little..."
Captain Loya looked at Roy and said, "Our initial suspicion is that Imperial Merchant are behind these human assassins committing these crimes in the city. We'll call for backup immediately, and we'll arrest all the instigators tonight!"
"Actually, some Imperial Merchant came to my door the day before yesterday, wanting to make a deal for Magic Herbs. I didn't agree at the time, and they left..." Roy said to Captain Loya, thinking about what happened the night before last.
"So... other Imperial Merchant also approached you, wanting to trade Magic Herbs with you, but you refused?" Captain Loya repeated.
Roy nodded and said, "That's about it."
Captain Loya checked Roy's injuries again and found the hiding place of the Black-Clothed Assassin in the surrounding area.
He told Roy to go home, bandage his wound, change into clean clothes, and get some rest.
Not long after, five coffins were brought to Brown Street, Elven Guard placed the bodies of the Black-Clothed Assassin into them.
The priests of the Moon God Temple would not intervene in such matters.
It's not that the elves are dead; they wouldn't guide souls other than elves...
Roy then ran out of his house again and cast a ' Purification Art ' on the Black-Clothed Assassin right there on the street.
The Elven Guard were busy until midnight. Moira, Sabrina, and Ms. Jillian all returned home one after another. All the elves on Brown Street knew that Roy had been assassinated by human assassins while he was at home, and suddenly the whole of Brown Street was filled with fear.
In recent months, more and more merchant ships have been sailing across the ocean from the Grimm Empire, and Grimm Empire people can be seen everywhere on the docks.
The arrival of Imperial Merchant in Castleton Harbour brought not only boundless business opportunities, but also some security risks.
There have been frequent conflicts in the port market recently, but this is the first time such an assassination attempt has occurred...
Captain Loya did not delay...
He sought help from the Castleton Elven Guard, Guard Squad immediately assembled over a hundred Elven Guard and marched in a grand procession to Brown Street.
When Captain Loya knocked on Roy's gate, Roy was on the terrace, recounting the assassination attempt to Moira and Sabrina.
Sabrina even thought Roy was exaggerating. She didn't believe Roy could handle five human assassins on his own, especially since Roy wasn't wearing his Magic Inscription Construct and had no helpers with him.
Moira pursed her lips, listening intently, her eyes filled with barely concealed lingering fear.
"I happened to be holding the Hammer of Judgment Book at the time, so I used it to block the attack..." Roy continued to recount the details of the fight, and showed Moira and Sabrina the marks left by the dagger on the copper pattern on the book cover.
"Roy!" Captain Loya called out to Roy on the terrace from outside the yard.
"What is it, Captain Loya?"
Captain Loya pointed outside and said to Roy, "Roy, would it be convenient for you to come with us to Castleton Harbour? I need you to identify those Imperial Merchant who contacted you the night before last."
"Of course! I'd be happy to oblige..." Roy readily agreed.
Although the scabs on his wounds had not fully healed, Roy still put on a soft sheepskin body armor, and then put on a thick leather Magic Inscription Construct before leaving the house.
Upon hearing that Roy was going to Castleton Harbour, Sabrina and Moira refused to let him go alone.
The two of them also put on their Magic Inscription Construct and followed Roy to Brown Street.
At this moment, nearly two hundred Silvermoon Elven Guard stood on Brown Street, and they had placed the entire street under martial law.
Three flatbed wagons stopped in front of Roy's house, and five coffins had already been loaded onto the wagons. With a command from Captain Loya, the entire Elven Guard team marched towards the port dock.
Roy always felt that the elves respected life and would take a gentle approach to everything. They would usually try to talk if possible, and only resort to force if they couldn't talk. They would only resort to violence if they couldn't even get through to force.
However, this operation was somewhat unexpected for Roy, because Captain Loya had no intention of negotiating with the Imperial Merchant at the port docks...
Three carriages stopped in front of the dock in the deep water area, and all the laborers on the dock stopped working. The Deep Water Pier was immediately placed under martial law, and all Imperial Merchant and crew members were not allowed to enter Castleton City.
Five coffins were lined up in a row on the port dock.
Nearly two hundred Silver Moon Elf Warrior Guard Squad, carrying bows and arrows, lined up at the Deep Water Pier.
The commotion at the port immediately alerted the crew members on the merchant ships. A large number of Imperial crew members rushed to the deck and stood by the ship's side, curiously looking towards the port.
Captain Loya personally walked to the front of each ship and, in front of all the crew members, invited the captain of the merchant ship to disembark...
Before long, a row of merchant ship captains stood in front of the five coffins. The coffins had no lids, and the Black-Clothed Assassin lying inside made several captains' expressions change, and some even whispered among themselves.
Roy spotted a blond-haired Francis in the crowd; he was the Imperial Merchant who traded Magic Herbs with Roy.
When Francis the merchant saw Roy, he also showed a slight look of surprise.
He squeezed to the front of the crowd and asked Roy with concern, "Boss Roy, why are you back?"
"There's been a bit of a problem in the Pattington Plane, so I've come back to ask for help," Roy replied.
Seeing that the businessman Francis's expression didn't seem fake, Roy felt a little better.
"What happened? If you need my help, just tell me..." the merchant Francis said softly.
A sharp whistle rang out, and the merchant Francis immediately shut his mouth, as did Roy.
Captain Loya walked up to Roy Roy asked, "Are any of the merchants we contacted the day before yesterday among these people?"
Roy's gaze fell on the faces of these captains...
He discovered that none of these people were the Imperial Merchant who had come to his door the night before.
He shook his head and whispered, "Their faces all look so similar, I can hardly recognize them..."
Captain Loya nodded.
To the elves, the faces of the Imperials all looked almost identical, so Roy's answer didn't surprise him.
Then, he climbed onto the flatbed carriage, placed one foot on the coffin lid, and shouted loudly to the merchant ship captains in front of him:
"These coffins contain the remains of assassins. Just now, a very serious assassination occurred on Brown Street. Although the perpetrators are lying here, I believe the mastermind behind it is hidden among you."
"I know this is a multiple-choice question, but I don't want to rack my brains trying to find the answer, so I'm leaving this question to you all!"
Captain Loya's gaze swept across the faces of the captains, and all of them remained silent.
Captain Loya tilted his head, scanning the area with his sharp eyes, but didn't find the answer he was looking for. So he said even more firmly:
"I don't know which of you is instigating this, nor do I need to find out. In short, it must be you Imperials causing trouble on Brown Street. So now, I'm formally informing you that I need you to find new evidence for me and hand over the mastermind behind it all. I need to hand him over to the Elven Council of Elders for judgment!"
"Listen carefully, everyone. I'm only giving you one night. If you don't intend to reveal who's behind this, then all merchant ships must leave port when the tide comes in tomorrow morning."
"From now on Castleton Harbour will refuse to allow Imperial fleets to dock, and trade will be prohibited in Castleton Harbour. Do you... understand what I'm saying?"
As soon as Captain Loya finished speaking, the captains standing in a row immediately erupted in an uproar.
Everyone expressed that Captain Loya's actions were completely unreasonable, and they had no reason to pay the price for the person behind it all...
Captain Loya remained completely unmoved by the captains' questions.
He tapped the carriage shaft with the scabbard of his Elf Long Sword, and then said:
"If I do not receive a satisfactory answer and there are still ships stranded in Castleton Harbour, we will seize your ships and punish you for endangering public safety."
There was no investigation, only an ultimatum to leave Hong Kong within a specified period.
This left Roy speechless.
Captain Loya then ended the conversation, Elven Guard remained at the port dock.
Since Roy wasn't needed here, Captain Loya signaled to Roy and the other two that they could leave.
As Roy walked past the Francis merchant, Francis merchant lowered his voice and whispered to Roy, "Are those fools in the coffins trying to assassinate you?"
"Mmm," he replied quickly.
Merchant Francis frowned and said quickly, "They're probably doing this because they're dissatisfied with the existing structure of the Magic Herbs trade and want to reshuffle it. The most important thing is to get rid of the suppliers so they can have a chance to intervene in the next round of herb transactions..."
Roy didn't respond. In fact, he kept wondering if the Imperial Merchant Francis didn't want to pay the remaining balance, which was why he sent someone to assassinate him...
On the way back, Moira pouted and whispered, "I thought they were going to fight. None of these captains seem to have the skills of Wave Relf."
"Roy, how's your injury?" Sabrina asked.
"It's almost completely healed." Roy took off his wristband, rolled up his sleeve, and showed it to Sabrina.
Then he added:
"Oh, by the way, we might be stuck in Castleton City for another day tomorrow. I have an appointment to meet someone at the tavern."
