Chapter 404 Provocation (Part 1)

The night is already dark.

Most of the blocks in Yinyue City are very quiet, with only those who are passing by at night.

Especially near the Half-Elf Palace, fully armed Blood Cavalry patrols can be seen everywhere. Almost a month has passed since the rebellion, but the atmosphere here is still tense and solemn.

Suddenly, the south gate of the royal palace slowly opened, and then a thin half-elf walked out quickly.

He looked sixty or seventy years old, with gray hair and a solemn face, and was walking towards the southern city area in the cold moonlight.

Beside him, two armored guards were escorting him.

As a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner in the palace, Cliff is generally not allowed to leave the palace. This time, it was because his grandson, who was suddenly seriously ill in his family outside the palace, Cliff made many requests and even alarmed Her Majesty Elsa, so he was allowed to let go.

However, due to his special profession, he could not walk around even if he left the palace. He also had to have special guards accompany him, which was both protection and surveillance.

Cliff was worried about his grandson's illness, and he was in a hurry and did not stop at all.

But just as I passed by a tavern, the wooden door suddenly opened without warning, and a drunken drunkard rushed out, yelling about to talk nonsense, and was about to bump into Cliff who was passing here.

"Does go, dos go!"

The accompanying guards rushed forward and tried to block the drunkard who had hit him.

But just as he met the drunkard's body, a severe pain suddenly came from his lower abdomen.

"There are assassins!"

The guard immediately realized that something was wrong and shouted at the top of his throat.

Hearing this, another guard did not go to rescue his companions. Instead, he immediately pulled Cliff's arm and ran away. At the same time, he began to shout loudly, trying to attract the patrolling Blood Cavalry Team.

However, at this moment, a black carriage without badge marks happened to pass here.

The horse pulling the cart seemed to be shocked by the sound of the guards shouting, and suddenly became crazy. He pulled it off with great force, and the cart shaking like a drunken person.

Bang!

As the shaking so, a black wooden box fell off the carriage and slammed heavily on the ground.

Click!

The wooden box scattered like a watermelon falling from the ground, and countless tiny wood chips and small things that were shining with metallic light splashed around.

Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!

Only then did the few people present realize that the little things that were flashing with metallic light were all copper coins!

Time seemed to have been pressed, and even the guards escorted Cliff were stunned.

After a brief silence, there is a noisy outbreak.

I don’t know who shouted, but in an instant, all the drinkers in the entire tavern rushed out and pounced on the copper coins scattered all over the ground like hungry wolf.

And as time goes by, more and more people come to grab money, as if the entire neighborhood has been alarmed.

In the crowded crowd, Cliff was drifting with the flow like a small boat in the storm. He finally squeezed out. He just breathed a sigh of relief and looked back and saw that the one who held his arm was not the accompanying guard!

"Who are you?"

"Shh! If you dare to speak out, you will be dead!"

Cliff only felt that the stranger in black had pinched him like a plier, and he was unable to break free. Moreover, he also keenly noticed a sharp blade pressing against his back.

At this time, the Blood Cavalry Team patrolling nearby also rushed over. After seeing the chaos in front of them, they immediately drew their weapons and began to maintain order.

Cliff was anxious, thinking about how to make the Blood Cavalry notice him, but at this moment, the man in black behind him reminded him in a cold tone:

"Don't do stupid things, otherwise it's not just you, but your family, too, you will die!"

Cliff hesitated for a moment, but still did not dare to ask for help from the blood cavalry near him.

The Blood Cavalry Team did not notice Cliff in the shadows, and their attention was attracted by the chaos in front of the tavern.

When they finally dispersed the crowd and found the bodies of the two escort guards, Cliff had long disappeared.

In an old warehouse in the south of the city.

The man in black pushed Cliff in roughly.

The old and weak Cliff staggered and rolled on the cold ground.

When he stood up in shock, he saw seven or eight strangers in black appeared around him.

"Who are you? Why do you kidnap me? I am a Chinese medicine doctor in the palace. If Her Majesty the Queen knew about this, she would never let you go!" Cliff shouted fiercely.

But such a threat is obviously not taken seriously by the people in black.

They didn't speak, but just looked at Cliff with a cold look, as if they were looking at a corpse.

The man in black who led the lead took off his hat, threw it aside, brought a shabby chair, and sat casually in front of Cliff, with a smile on his face and said:

"Mr. Cliff, we invite you this time, I just want to ask one question."

"What's the problem?" Cliff had realized that something was wrong. The other party's eyes were like a poisonous snake, and he was drilling into his heart.

"After the assassination of Marquis Vincent in the East, did you go and check the situation?"

really.

Cliff's face suddenly changed, becoming pale like a dead fish.

"You were you who lied to me to leave the palace, right? My grandson was not sick at all, right?"

The leading man in black smiled, took out a knife from his upper pocket of his clothes, and played with it casually in his hand, while slowly saying:

"Mr. Cliff, have you forgotten your situation? It's not your turn to ask questions here. We ask, and you answer."

Cliff's face turned blue and white, his eyes were erratic, fearful and excited, and finally turned into dead gray, saying in a pleading tone:

"Everyone, it's not that I don't want to answer your questions, but that once I answer, I will definitely die!"

The man in black said calmly: "Don't worry, as long as you cooperate well, we will surely protect you from leaving Yinyue City safely. And we will also give you a lot of money to allow you to go to the East Realm to spend the rest of your life comfortably."

"You are from the East!" The fear on Cliff's face became even stronger.

The man in black rolled his eyes, as if he was speechless about Cliff's afterwards, and urged: "Okay, Mr. Cliff, quickly answer my question."

Cliff plopped, knelt down and cried, "My lord, I really can't answer! You tried every means to trick me out of the palace and tied me up again. Queen Aisha and Count Angeles must have known the news.

At this time, the gate of Silver Moon City will definitely be blocked and we can't escape!"

The man in black sighed and said, "It seems that Mr. Cliff still doesn't want to cooperate! Since that's the case, I'm sorry."

After saying that, the man in black stood up.

As he moved, two men in black on the side immediately strode forward, firmly holding Cliff on the left and right.

"What are you going to do! You want... um..."

Cliff struggled in horror, but unfortunately he could not break free from the man in black. At the same time, a piece of rag was stuffed into his mouth, so he could only make a whimpering sound.

The man in black who led the lead slowly walked to Cliff, gently pulled Cliff's ring finger out, and stroked it gently.

But the next second.

A silver light flashed, and the ring finger was cut off from Cliff's hand.
