Lulunaka, who was confronting the dark elf … or should I say, being held hostage and unable to move, suddenly asked, "Why are you so obsessed with the assassin?
Why are you so sensitive? Is it because of what happened recently? "
"I don't think I need to answer you." The dark elf only gave such an answer.
But Lulunaka was obviously not someone who could be dealt with so easily. "What does it matter? Anyway, I've already fallen into your hands. Whether I live or die is up to you. Tell me what happened. Maybe I can give you some advice?"
"Do you think you can keep yourself alive by doing this?"
"I'm just curious."
Lulunaka smiled. "There's a sense of tension and panic in this place that can't be ignored. It's obvious that something has happened, right?
If not, those guards wouldn't be so flustered, and their attention wouldn't be so scattered. "
"You're really observant."
"If you want to be a good thief, you have to be more careful."
Lulunaka continued. "How can I make you believe that I'm not an assassin, but just a thief?"
"It's simple," the dark elf said. "Return what you stole."
Lulunaka stretched out her hands and opened and closed them a few times. "I haven't stolen anything yet."
"A very important thing is missing in this place."
The dark elf said, the blade sliding slowly on Lulunaka's neck. "It's something very important to this old palace … to this country. It's something that can't be missing."
"That's really something. What exactly is it?" Lulunaka asked curiously.
"A person," the dark elf replied.
This made Lulunaka show a puzzled expression. "A person?
So people can be stolen … No, what am I thinking? Of course, people can be stolen and snatched. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such things as human traffickers. "
Lulunaka turned around and looked at the dark elf helplessly. "But just as I said, I didn't steal anything."
"If you want to prove that you're not an assassin but just a thief, then try to retrieve the things that were lost in this place," the dark elf said. "Since you're a thief, you should be able to return something, right?"
Lulunaka's face showed a sad expression. "You're not going to let me go … I haven't stolen anything yet, and you're already asking me to return something. How can I do that?"
"What a pity. It seems that this is the end for you," the dark elf said.
Without any mercy or hesitation, her sword left Lulunaka's neck, and then …
After coming to this country and this city, Julius felt a pressure that could freeze the air for the first time.
It was a feeling that he did not have when facing dozens of Horse Gang galloping on the plains.
He had pushed Mu De to the side just now. It was almost an instinctive reaction.
This feeling was so strong that it made the hairs on his skin stand up. It wasn't directed at him … It was directed at Mu De.
Now, Julius and Mulder were in a long and winding alley. Mulder was pushed into an alley similar to the gap, and then blocked outside.
In this long and narrow space, even the sky had become a gap, and only a little blue could be seen.
There was no noise in this place, only meaningless and vague noises.
At the other end of the alley, someone was walking over. It was a man in a black robe and a man in leather armor.
In a place like Nicaea, this was not a rare outfit. Even walking on the streets, one could see people dressed similarly.
Mages and warriors were not rare in this city, but the two men in front of Julius made him think otherwise.
The black robes reminded him of something bad. It was when he and Rei were adventuring underground, when they were the closest to death … He wanted to think that he was too paranoid and treated everyone in black robes as the two men's companions, but when he saw other people in black robes, he had never felt this way.
The two men were walking towards them, and Julius could even hear their conversation. "It should be around here …" "Let's look for it again …"
The man in the black robe with his face hidden in the hood was the first to notice Julius.
"Hey, what happened?"
Mulder asked Julius, but he was pushed back into the alley by Julius, who then made a gesture for him to shut up.
When Mulder saw that Julius had a very serious expression on his face, he shut his mouth and didn't say anything else. Mulder's expression also became somewhat grave.
"Who's there?" The man who looked like a warrior also noticed Julius hiding in the corner.
"Sneaking around in a place like this might cause some misunderstandings."
The two men were obviously not looking for Julius. When they saw Julius's face, they relaxed a little, judging Julius as an unrelated person.
The man in the black robe whispered something to the warrior, who then walked over to Julius. "Oh right, have you seen a man?
He has a very conspicuous aquiline nose and a strange chin, like a New Moon … "
Julius was once again sure that the two men were looking for Mulder.
Mulder was the only one who could describe such obvious features, and why were they looking for Mulder … No matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem like they were looking for the money that Mulder had won.
The warrior was still walking towards Julius with a relaxed look on his face. However, after taking a few more steps, his face darkened.
"There's someone hiding behind him," he said to his companion.
"That should be the person we're looking for," the man in the black robe said to the warrior. "The needle is pointing over there."
At this moment, Julius grabbed Mulder and pulled him over with a monstrous strength that Mulder couldn't resist at all. With a push, he pushed Mulder towards the road behind him and shouted, "Go to where there are more people!"
"I'll wait for you at the hookah shop!"
Without any hesitation, Mulder turned around and ran away. As for the hookah shop he mentioned, it could only be the hookah shop that he and Julius had stayed in before.
Julius's action was too sudden, and the two men in front of him didn't react in time.
Before they could react, Julius had already pulled out the scimitar at his waist and threw it at the man in the black robe.
The scimitar spun in the air and flew towards the man in the black robe.
At the same time, he pulled out the cross shaped sword on his back and rushed towards the warrior …
