The night is dark.
Most of the blocks in Silver Moon City are quiet, with only the rushing passers-by.
Especially near the half-elf palace, heavily 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 palace slowly opened, and then a thin half-elf walked out quickly.
He looks sixty or seventy years old, with gray hair and solemn face. He is walking towards Nancheng in the cold moonlight.
is around him, accompanied by two armored guards.
As a palace physician, Cliff is generally not allowed to leave the palace. This time it was also because the grandson of the family outside the palace was suddenly seriously ill. Cliff requested on many occasions and even alerted Her Majesty Queen Aisha before being released.
But because of his special occupation, even if he leaves the palace, he can't walk around at will. He must be accompanied by special guards, both for protection and surveillance.
Cliff was worried about his grandson's condition, and he walked in a hurry, without any stop along the way.
But when passing by a tavern, the wooden door suddenly opened without warning, and a drunk drunk staggered out, yelling at the so-called nonsense, and he was about to hit the Krem passing by. Reeve.
"Go away, go away!"
The accompanying guard hurriedly stepped forward, trying to block the drunkard who hit him.
But just when he just touched the body of the alcoholic, a sharp pain suddenly came from his lower abdomen.
"There are assassins!"
The guard immediately realized that it was not good, so he yelled.
Another guard heard the words and did not go to rescue his companion. Instead, he immediately pulled Cliff's arm and ran away. At the same time, he started shouting loudly in an attempt to attract the patrolling Blood Cavalry squad.
But at this moment, a black carriage with no badge marking happened to pass by here.
The horses pulling the cart seemed to be startled by the sound of the guards shouting, and suddenly went crazy, pulled it down by Juli, and the cart swayed like drunk.
嘭!
While shaking like this, a black wooden box fell from the carriage and hit the ground heavily.
Click!
The wooden box shattered like a watermelon falling on the ground, and countless small wood chips and small things shining with metallic light splashed around.
jingle bells!
The few people present at this time discovered that the little things that shone with metallic light were all copper coins!
Time seemed to have been pressed by the pause button, and even the guard escorting Cliff was taken aback.
After a brief silence, there was a loud explosion.
I don't know who yelled, and in an instant, all the alcoholic people in the tavern rushed out, like a hungry wolf, pounced on the copper coins scattered all over the floor.
And with the passage of time, more and more people came to grab money, as if the whole block was alarmed.
In the crowded crowd, Cliff followed the flow like a flat boat in a squally wind and waves, and finally squeezed out. He just breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked back, he saw that the one holding his arm was not the accompanying guard!
"Who are you?"
"Shhh! If you dare to speak out, you are dead!"
Cliff only felt that the hands of the stranger in black gripped him like iron tongs, unable to break free, and he also keenly sensed that a sharp blade was against his back.
At this time, the blood cavalry squad patrolling nearby also rushed over. After seeing the chaos in front of them, they immediately drew out 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, not only you, but your family will be dead!"
Cliff hesitated, but still did not dare to ask the blood cavalry in front of him for help.
And the blood cavalry team did not notice Cliff in the shadow, their attention was all attracted by the chaos in front of the tavern.
When they finally dispersed the crowd and found the bodies of the two **** guards, Cliff had already disappeared.
In an abandoned warehouse in the south of the city.
Cliff in black roughly pushed in.
The frail and old Cliff staggered and rolled on the cold ground.
When he stood up in shock, he saw that seven or eight strangers in black had appeared around him.
"Who are you? Why did you kidnap me? I'm a palace physician. If your Majesty the Queen knows about this, I will never let you go!" Cliff yelled inwardly.
But such threats are obviously not seen by people in black.
They didn't speak, but looked at Cliff with gloomy eyes, as if they were looking at a corpse.
The man in black took off his hat, threw it aside, and moved a dilapidated chair casually, sitting in front of Cliff casually, with a slight smile on his face, and said:
"Mr. Cliff, we invite you this time, just want to ask one question."
"What's the problem?" Cliff has realized that it is not good, the other's eyes are like a poisonous snake, drilling into his own heart.
"After the assassination of the Marquis of Vincent in the East, did you go to check the situation?"
As expected.
Cliff's face suddenly changed, becoming pale like a dead fish.
"You lied to me out of the palace, right? My grandson didn't get sick at all, right?"
The leading man in black smiled, took out a knife from the upper body pocket of his clothes, played with it casually in his hand, and said slowly:
"Mr. Cliff, have you forgotten your situation? Here, it is not your turn to ask questions. We ask, you answer."
Cliff's face was blue and white, and his eyes were erratic. For a while, he was afraid and agitated, and finally turned into a dead gray. He said in an imploring tone:
"Everyone, it's not that I don't want to answer your questions, but once I answer, I will definitely die!"
The man in black said calmly: "Don't worry, as long as you cooperate well, we will be able to protect you from leaving Silvermoon City safely. We will also give you a large sum of money to allow you to spend the rest of your life comfortably in the East."
"You are from the East!" The fear on Cliff's face became more intense.
The man in black rolled his eyes, and seemed to be speechless for Cliff's hindsight. UU reading urged: "Well, Mr. Cliff, please answer my question quickly."
Cliff plopped, knelt down, and cried: "My lord, I really can't answer! You tried to trick me out of the palace and tied me back. Queen Aisha and Count Anglia must have been I got the news.
At this time, the gate of Silvermoon City will definitely be blocked, and we can't escape! "
The man in black sighed and said, "It seems that Mr. Cliff is still unwilling to cooperate! If that's the case, I'm sorry."
After speaking, the man in black stood up.
Following his movements, two men in black immediately strode forward, holding Cliff firmly from left to right.
"What are you going to do! You want to...oo..."
Cliff was struggling with horror, but unfortunately he couldn't break free from the shackles of the man in black. At the same time, there was a rag in his mouth, and now he could only make a whining sound.
The man in black slowly walked up to Cliff, gently pulled Cliff's ring finger out, and stroked it gently.
But the next second.
There was a flash of silver light, and the ring finger was cut off from Cliff's hand.
