Lulunaka raised both her hands. Just as she was about to turn around to face the Dark Elf, the Dark Elf pushed the sword against her neck forward. The tip of the sword was slanted and pressed against her throat. "Don't move."
"Okay, I won't move."
Lulunaka was not flustered at all. Her smile was still there, as if the sword against her neck did not exist.
"As long as you don't kill me, I'll do anything."
"As a thief, are you brave or cowardly?"
The Dark Elf's sword was very steady. The tip of the sword was pressed against Lulunaka's neck, not moving at all.
She was very familiar with holding the sword. As long as Lulunaka made the slightest movement, she would not hesitate to cut down — at Lulunaka's tender neck.
"You're very brave, daring to sneak into the old palace. Now you're so easily handing your life over to others?"
"There's a sword against my neck. As long as I'm not a fool, I'll beg for mercy."
Lulunaka laughed. "I was forced to come here to see if there's anything valuable … Can you let me go?"
"Do you know who lives in this old palace?" The Dark Elf asked.
"I don't know, but I think it's a very honorable person?" Lulunaka replied. "I don't see that honorable person here, so …"
The Dark Elf shook her head. "You didn't come here to steal.
As a thief, it's very suspicious that you chose this place to steal. "
The Dark Elf's sword slowly slid against Lulunaka's neck.
"Am I going to die?"
Lulunaka's face showed a pitiful expression. Unfortunately, the Dark Elf had warned her not to move, so she could only make an expression for the air to see.
On the other side, Julius left the Ingenious and entered the city.
Although Nicaea was only an old capital and was not as prosperous as Busa, it had a long history. Even a country bumpkin like Julius could feel it.
Walking through the streets and alleys, Julius was approaching the city center.
There seemed to be a lively market there. He had some things on him that he could sell and see if he could earn a few copper coins.
In the Crescent Empire, Double Eagle coins were useless, and Lulunaka had already spent most of the coins she had prepared.
Although after coming to this place, Lurunaka made a lot of money by selling strange goods, she also spent a lot, and she didn't know where she spent it.
Then, Julius ran into some trouble.
It was his first time coming to Nicaea. Although he could reach his destination, for some reason, he found himself standing in a few intersecting alleys, he did not know which direction to go.............
.. he was.
... to...........................................
If the sky was already like this, the situation on the ground would only be more complicated.
Julius did not even know when he got lost. When he came back to his senses, he was standing there, not knowing where to go.
The worst thing was that he could not find anyone to ask for directions. In his field of vision, there was no living person, not even a child.
Continuing to stand there could not do anything, so Julius simply found a random path and continued to walk forward.
After a while, he began to think about whether his decision was a bit reckless. He felt like he had walked into a maze, and he could not even see the sky. Above his head, there was only sand falling from the eaves.
Julius squatted down, his face full of regret.
Was he too self-righteous and too complacent? Back when he was in the big cities like Busa and King's Castle, he had never encountered such a situation. Now, he was actually lost in an alley. If anyone knew about this, they would probably laugh at him ruthlessly.
Only now did he miss the Rat Path. Although it was a messy place, and it did not look like a place where a decent person could live, at least there were not so many complicated paths.
But now that he thought about it, it might not be because the Rat Path was not complicated, but because he had Rei as a guide.
Julius leaned against the wall and sat down, sighing.
He looked up, thinking that he might as well jump on top of a building and run between the buildings to find the right way.
Just as he was thinking about this, he heard some discordant sounds.
It was the sound of quarreling, shoving, and hurried footsteps. The sound was approaching him.
When Julius stood up, a man with a headscarf ran past him, followed by four fierce-looking men behind him.
Julius did not do anything as he watched these people run past him, leaving him behind.
But things did not end like that. The man running in front turned around and shouted at Julius, "What are you doing?
Go find someone to save me, you bastard! "
The man's face was covered by a headscarf, so Julius could not see his face. But he was sure that he did not know this stranger.
But the others did not seem to think so.
The man who was running away spoke to Julius as if they were friends. This made the other men who were chasing him stop. Then, two of them stopped and walked back to Julius.
"Are you that bastard's companion?"
These two men were definitely not good people. When they walked towards Julius, they pulled out the scimitars at their waists. They probably saw that Julius was carrying a weapon, so they did not think that they could beat him with bare hands.
"Hand over your money. It's ours!" The men with scimitars rushed towards Julius.
"Wait, I don't know …" Julius wanted to say something, but it was too late. These men wouldn't listen to him at all. Besides, even if he didn't know the man who ran away, it might be meaningless now that he looked at it.
These men, no matter how he looked at it, were people who would bleed for money.
It was not that Julius had never seen such people. He had seen a lot of them in the past.
Those murderers on horseback were very similar to the villains with scimitars in front of him.
Getting lost was already a very unlucky thing. Now, this unlucky fire was added to a few more flames.
Julius also pulled out the scimitar at his waist. He took a stance and blocked the weapons that were coming at him.
Why am I so unlucky … Julius's heart was full of sighs.
