Emily shook her head slightly, "It's nothing." ”

It's nothing...... Does that mean there is?

In an instant, my gossip soul was on fire.

What would it be to bother a girl as good as Emily?

I'm secretly lustful in my heart, will it be a business matter? Or is it a private matter? Or is it ineffable privacy?

Hmph, I really want to analyze Emily's heart at the moment and feel the reason why this girl is troubled and entangled~

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Emily say, "Are you thinking about something that is not very good?" ”

I was startled, and when I turned my head, I saw Emily staring at me without blinking, her clear eyes, like the water of a lake in the elven forest, which seemed to reflect my obscene heart.

I instantly broke out in a sweat......

After a haha, I said, "No, nothing, hehe, hehehe." ”

Emily retracted her gaze and said seriously, "You're really thinking about something not very good." ”

"Huh?" I was shocked again: "Why do you say that?" ”

"Because your eyes are in a trance, as if you want to avoid my gaze, you are not like this usual," Emily said lightly.

Ah, so closely! I'm kind of defeated by this girl......

Relieved, I said, "Okay, I'll confess, I've been thinking about what kind of things would bother a girl like you. ”

Emily still said lightly: "I don't have any trouble. ”

I listened and spread my hands: "Oh, that's good~"

Sending her home, I turned to leave, but she stopped me.

Emily said, "Have you ever met the president of the Rose Legion there since you went to Dasai City?" ”

"No," I said, "I'm just visiting my guild in Dasai City, but what does the Rose Legion have to do with me?" ”

Emily nodded slightly, and when she raised her head again, the expression on her face had returned to her usual indifference: "Goodbye." ”

"Goodbye," I waved at her.

After making sure she closed the door, I hurried towards the Elven Palace, where someone should be waiting for me.

Along the way, I held the knife in my hand, ready to unsheath it, after all, the meaning of the handwritten note was not clear, it only asked me to go to the back garden of the palace, without explaining what was going on, and there was no signature.

Whether this is a trap or just a meeting, I don't know, the only thing I can do now is to make all the psychological preparations, but whenever there is a wind and grass, the sword will be unsheathed, and the head of the enemy will be directly taken.

There were still a few dozen meters from the garden outside the palace, and I slowed down, looking wary of my surroundings, refusing to let go of any wind and grass.

Years of experience in life-and-death struggles have taught me that the quieter the place, the more likely it is that there is a hidden murder motive, especially near the palace, which is especially deadly.

Once I encounter the enemy, draw my sword and fight, and after a long stalemate, it will alarm the soldiers of the palace, and I will be convicted of holding a murder weapon near the palace, although the elf queen and others may bail me out, but before the bail, I am afraid that a forced confession and severe punishment are indispensable.

If you choose not to draw the knife, if the enemy is a rookie, it's okay to say, relying on a pair of gauntlets, you can pinch the opponent to death, I'm afraid that the enemy is a strong adventurer, in that case, I am likely to suffer, maybe I will suffer a big loss, which is very much more than worth the loss.

In short, we should be cautious, and try to solve things that can be solved outside the scope of the palace, and never drag them into the scope of the palace.

However, at a distance of several tens of meters, I did not notice any ambush at all, nor did I sniff out any conspiracy.

Everything was as calm as ever, just like the night in Moonlight City, quiet and clear.

Finally, I made it to the back garden of the palace.

As far as the eye can see, a slender girl is carrying a kettle to water flowers.

I coughed, and the girl spotted me and walked over with a kettle.

By the light of the moon, I could see the girl's face, an ordinary-looking elf, and I didn't seem to have seen her.

"You ......"

The girl smiled lightly: "Lord An Xiaoyi, it's me." ”

With that, she hissed off a mask and showed me her true face, which turned out to be Dora, who I had sent to the palace and pretended to be the queen's servant.

"Whew, it's you, Dora" I laughed, "how did you put such a layer of ......"

"Have you forgotten my specialty?" Dora smiled, "My specialty is disguise, and changing my face will make it easier for me to move around the palace." ”

I nodded and asked her, "Disguise...... It should be more than just disguise, right? ”

"Of course," said Dora, "I'll change my voice at the same time." ”

"Then you're great~" Thumbs up, I praised her.

"Thanks for the compliment."

"Okay, what's the matter with you calling me over at this time?"

Dora touched her body and took out a folded piece of paper and handed it to me: "Please take a look." ”

Unfolding the piece of paper, I saw that in the middle of it, a key with a very complex pattern was drawn: "This is?" ”

Dora said, "This is the pattern of one of the keys to the Forbidden Land's Gate. ”

Forbidden...... It occurred to me that Wren had told me that there was a very closed heavy metal door in the Elven Palace, and that behind the door there might be a forbidden place.

I asked her, "How many keys do you need to open the gates of the forbidden land?" ”

"Seven," Dora said, "Her Majesty has a key, and each elder also holds one in his hand. ”

"And whose key is it?"

Dora said, "It's Elder Lindsay's." ”

I wondered, "You stole it from her?" ”

"No, it was an elf who gave it to me and asked me to help return it to Elder Lindsay."

I frowned: "Can I borrow this key?" ”

Dora shook her head and said, "I don't know, Lord An Xiaoyi, I only know that these seven keys are very important." ”

"Okay, I see," I smiled at Dora, "you're doing a great job." ”

Dora bowed to me, "It's right to be at your service." ”

"Dora, how are your sisters living in the palace?" I asked, "Have you been wronged?" ”

"No," Dora shook her head, "Our lives are stable now, and we don't have to worry about eating and drinking." ”

"Well, then do a good job, when you don't want to stay in the palace, you are welcome to come back at any time, the door of the house is always open to you."

"Thank you for your hanging," Dora saluted me again.

"Are you going back now?" I asked.

"Yes," said Dora, "you can't water the flowers at night for too long, and you will be suspicious if you do it for a long time." ”

"Thank you for your hard work," I nodded to Dora.

Dora smiled at me, re-glued the fake skin, and hurried back to the palace.
