"Then, Lord Bloodaxe, what should I do now?" The Earl took a deep breath, trying to steady himself before asking.
At that moment, the Imperial generals and the Fire Mage serving as his magical advisor came over to stand beside the Earl.
"Elei, I need a hand," Lin Yun called loudly to the young lady, who had covered the entire area.
There was no reply. But at Lin Yun's words, a storm began to churn, sweeping the "scents" from the area up into the sky.
Only then did she return to her original form.
Yes, the young lady had turned into an Air Elemental not only to stop the Rat Assassins from escaping, but also to carry the "scent language" they might give off up into the sky, so the other Skaven wouldn't detect them.
Aside from the scent of fear, Skaven also had another kind of scent language, known as battle scent.
This scent was much like a stimulant, and it made Skaven grow excited.
"It's too early to say. I need to get a better grasp of the situation first." Lin Yun shook his head slightly. "Elei, I'll have to leave it to you again."
"I understand. You really do keep me busy." The young lady looked exasperated. This time, she turned into a large Earth Elemental and sank straight into the ground.
"Lord Bloodaxe, is there anything you need to know? If I can help, I'll tell you everything." The Earl had fully grasped how serious the situation was.
So many Rat Assassins had appeared in his castle. Anyone with half a brain could see that something was terribly wrong. And one mistake could cost him his life at the hands of those Rat Assassins.
In a way, Lin Yun and the others had saved his life.
