The Song of the Elves, the closest inn to the city gates, has always been known for its delicious food and great music, and many first-time travelers and merchants choose to stay here for a night and enjoy the latest works of the bards.
However, due to the recent surge in the flow of people, especially the arrival of nobles and merchants from the surrounding countries, every inn and tavern in the city was instantly crowded, and some wealthy people even did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy a vacant land, ready to build their own mansions, and the whole city was overcrowded for a while.
If it weren't for the thaw of the Chongsa River, a large number of boats could have gone straight down the river to bring in a steady stream of grain, livestock, and vegetables, and I am afraid that prices would have increased several times over.
The abundant population has led to an unprecedented prosperity of commerce, but it has also brought a lot of trouble to the management of the city, just the thieves and hooligans who have poured in from other places are simply countless, coupled with the spies sent by various forces, it can be said that the current Baldur's Gate is completely mixed, although it seems that the security is not bad on the surface, but in fact, the underground world has long begun to test and fight.
As an elegant inn of the Elven Song, it was now full of men and women who claimed to be nobles or descendants of nobles, and the exaggerated stories of adventurers were no longer heard in the hall, except for gentlemen, ladies and ladies who were well-dressed and polite, and other than that, there were silent servants and guards.
"I don't know how long these guys will have to stay before they leave. It's boring to have no one to brag about. The bartender wiped the table at the bar. While muttering quietly. He felt that he could hardly stand such a dreary and oppressive atmosphere. Watching a group of people eat, drink, talk, and greet like stage actors every day is simply torture, and if you continue, you may have a mental breakdown.
Of course, the benefits of all the nobles living in it are not without it, at least they are absolutely generous when tipping, almost all gold and silver coins, perhaps it is this reason that he has endured until now.
Looking at the guests chatting quietly in the hall, the slightly obese bartender yawned boredly: "Ah...... I wish I could have encountered something interesting today, or I'd have fallen asleep again. ”
As soon as the words fell. A woman with long black hair like a waterfall pushed the door open, she had eyes as bright as stars, and two delicate lips under the high bridge of her nose, which any male would have the urge to kiss (suck) and suck.
The standard S-shaped figure is convex and backward, and even in such cold weather, she still wears a long silk dress, exposing her slender neck and chest, and wearing an unknown fur cloak behind her to keep out the cold.
"Miss Serena, your beauty is like a snow-lotus flower on the high mountain, so clear and jade. Even in the cold winter months, it is still intoxicating. An aristocratic young man stood up and bowed deeply, complimenting him in a poetic tone. His eyes were full of obsession. I can't wait to get down on my knees and lick each other's toes.
However, he was not the only one who did this, and all the men in the hall who did not have a female companion, young and old, stood up and said flattering words, and some even did not hide their strong (desire) in an attempt to take advantage of the opportunity
But the woman, who was called Serena, was evidently very experienced, and quietly leveled them one by one, and climbed the stairs with graceful steps, until she disappeared around the corner, and the tumultuous hall gradually fell silent.
The bartender, who was already hot and dry, picked up the glass and poured it full, then raised his neck and drank it all, then took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "Damn! What a fiery little goblin, I really don't know who will be the first to enjoy her seductive body. ”
"Hey, hey! Dude, I don't think you'll have a chance. Look at the aristocrats, they all want to swallow that girl in their stomachs. An obscene-looking halfling came out from behind and teased. He was wearing a fairly clean apron, and he knew he was the chef of the inn without asking.
"Humph! I'm willing to bet those nobles are all good looks, and when it comes to the real time, they will definitely not be as brave as me. As he spoke, the bartender glanced disdainfully at the well-dressed guests in the hall.
Just as the halfling was about to continue his lewd remark, the door of the hotel was pushed open again, and a petite woman in a gray cloak entered. As soon as she entered, she sniffed the air slightly, and then immediately set her eyes on the stairs leading to the second floor.
Without saying any nonsense, she rushed up the stairs with a single lunge, and it only took a few seconds to catch up with Serena, who had not had time to enter the room.
Between the lightning and flint, the petite woman in the cloak threw the flying knife in her hand violently, and a few cold stars broke through the sky, and at the moment when she was about to hit Serena, it seemed to hit an invisible force field, making a banging sound, and fell to the ground one after another.
"Interesting, I'm afraid this is not a magic that a Countess can master, right?" As she spoke, the woman in the cloak took off her hood, revealing her dark skin and silver-white hair, and it was none other than the dark elf girl Verva.
Selina obviously didn't expect that it was the dark elves who attacked, so she quickly opened the spell casting kit and asked very vigilantly, "Who are you?" Why are you attacking me? ”
"Guess what!" Huelva sneered and drew his dagger. "Tell me who you really are now, or I'll guarantee you won't survive tonight."
"Is this a threat? With such a blatant attack, isn't it afraid of attracting the guards' clearance? Serena cautiously kept backing away, trying to keep a relatively safe distance.
After all, distance means more preparation time for mages, and at least until they learn to trigger magic in large quantities, they have a relatively little advantage in melee encounters.
Huelva noticed the other man's small movements, but instead of attacking immediately, he smiled playfully.
"Purge? I'm afraid you don't quite understand the severity of the situation. The entire Baldur's Gate is already a battlefield. And your accomplices will be treated in the same way. Our boss personally gave the order. Arrest the guy who is connected to the Ghost City at any cost, understand? Or should I call you Miss Yellow Sparrow? ”
After hearing this, Serena's pupils contracted sharply, and her face changed slightly: "I don't understand what you're talking about, is this how the Kingdom of West Hartland entertains guests?" ”
"Hah! Dead duck has a hard mouth, and I'm going to see if you can continue to lie after you've been tortured. As he spoke, Huelva drew his dagger and began to approach a little, while his other hand silently pulled out a small hand crossbow from behind his back.
As a seasoned assassin, she knows how hard it can be to kill a mage. Therefore, a magic arrow was specially prepared to break the protection, intending to surprise the other party.
Of course, ordinary thieves would not dare to do this, they don't have the powerful resistance skin of the Dark Elves, so they are likely to die directly if they take a spell head-on in battle.
Serena obviously also knew that the dark elves had a special resistance to magic, so when Huelva crossed the cordon, she immediately activated the magic of the ring on her hand, and a portal was immediately not opened, as if she was planning to escape.
But before the portal could be completely stabilized, the magical energy was interfered with. An explosion followed by a bang, and a strong wave of air directly smashed the door. At the same time, the two of them were still in the room like rag dolls.
"What's going on?!! My Spell ...... Lose...... Expired ......"
Serena couldn't hide the leaking spring light, and struggled to get up from the ground and looked at this qiē in amazement. The long skirt on her body at the moment is in tatters, her plump breasts are completely exposed to the air, and the two slender and straight thighs on the lower half of her body are the same, and even her (straight) butt can't cover it.
I'm afraid that any man can't help but have some special thoughts at such a time, but unfortunately, Huelva is also a woman, so he didn't show any mercy to his subordinates, and directly shot the Demon Breaking Arrow, and he jumped up and attacked.
In the blink of an eye, the bolt carved with delicate magical patterns broke through the invisible wall of force, and with a pop pierced Serena's arm.
"Ahh
The intense pain made her cry out, and then she immediately drew her personal short sword and desperately blocked.
"Haha! What does it taste like to break the Arrow? Do you think we're going to attack without any preparation? ”
Huelva used his melee skills to push his opponent back, sneering and taunting loudly.
"Sue you, this city has banned a qiē teleportation spell, which means that you little rats are trapped, and there is no second way to survive except to surrender obediently."
"Humph! yes, let's see. ”
Despite her injuries, Serena had no intention of surrendering, and her steps did not panic at all. Just as she was about to retreat to the door, she jerked up her injured arm and unleashed a flash.
In an instant, a blinding white light filled the entire corridor, and although Huelva closed his eyes in advance, he still felt dizzy and nauseous.
No way, the dark elves are too sensitive to strong light, even just shining on the skin will cause severe discomfort.
By the time she could barely open her eyes, Serena had long since disappeared, and she knew she had run away without asking.
"Damn! I'd like to see where you little biao can escape! After cursing under his breath, Velva quickly wrapped his cloak and jumped out of the window with a puff of smoke.
After all, the sound of the fight had already alarmed the bartender and guests downstairs, and she didn't want to explain what was going on, not to mention that those people wouldn't believe a dark elf's words, so going directly to the window was the best option.
At the same time, there were several similar attacks elsewhere in Baldur's Gate, with targets either killed on the spot or captured alive, with only a handful of powerful men narrowly escaping.
But they didn't know that there were countless pairs of eyes in the darkness that recorded everyone's escape route exactly, and it was delivered to Robert's desk ten minutes later.
The leader of the thieves marked the lines on the map, and it didn't take long to confirm where the enemy was hiding. He gently touched the stubble on his chin and muttered, "Interesting, it seems that they use the abandoned dockyard as a secret base, but they don't know if the guy who calls himself the Yellow Sparrow is in it." ”
