Chapter 561 Miss!
"Internal conflict?"
Ye Lin was a little stunned when he heard this. He thought that the mysteriously missing ninja was planning some shocking assassination, such as assassinating Aska, or the assistant minister, etc.
Unexpectedly, an inexplicable internal conflict broke out?
"Dark elves, the one that works for the royal family is okay, but as for the others, I don't know the specifics. Their behavior is very mysterious, and it is very difficult to find out their identities."
Askar spread his hands. Although those dark elves relied on the noble class for a living, they basically had hidden tricks. Cursed by Venus, they naturally liked shadows.
"Compared with that, tell me quickly, after you go to the heaven, what is interesting there? Is it strange?"
Feng Ling, who had been looking at the moon, was also curious. He moved a stool and sat there, one big and one small. They leaned together and ate while listening to his stories.
…………
Shasha~
In a mountain forest on the outskirts of Suran, the accumulation of fallen leaves became a natural obstacle that made her unhappy. There was inevitably some friction when walking, but if she used flexible movements, it didn't seem to be necessary.
Her legs are slender and straight, accompanied by hot pants, her upper body is in a tight tube top, her waist is slender and energetic, and she wears a chic blue windbreaker outside.
"I haven't been back for a long time. The trees nearby are much thicker."
She patted the rough bark. She had no luggage on her shoulders and walked briskly. She only held a sheathed dagger in her hand, indicating that she was not unarmed.
"The weather here is colder than Hedunmar, but warmer than Dark City."
Although there was no one around, except for a few insects chewing on the leaves, she seemed to be quite natural and didn't feel anything was wrong.
Picked up a rough piece of stone from the ground and threw it at a wild fruit tree. The branches broke with the sound, and a wild jujube tree became mature. The fruit was half-ripe and slightly sweet.
With the dagger clasped on her waist, she grabbed the branches and walked in a direction that only she knew. Although the trees changed a lot, fortunately the terrain did not change too much.
"I heard that that guy has also come to Xuzu. Do you want to turn around and ask him for help to calm down the situation?"
No one agreed with her, so she could only answer with a shrug and threw a wild date, "Forget it, he may have been squeezed dry. No matter how good his waist is, he may not be able to withstand the suppression of quantity."< br>
Although it is a bright night with a full moon, no matter how clear and bright the light is, it can only pass through the gaps between the leaves of the forest and scatter a few silver-like bright spots among the piled fallen leaves.
The cold breath of the mountains, the occasional mountain breeze, the rustling of leaves, and the chirping of unknown mosquitoes can make everyone who passes by shudder.
Even those who live in seclusion in dojos are not willing to choose such a ghost place to live.
She walked very slowly, and sometimes even turned around, just to admire a few unique-looking trees, as if she was coming back for a casual visit.
After teasing a venomous snake that was looking for food at night, she reluctantly read something similar from the snake's fascinating eyes, and then thought of the main purpose of her return this time.
"You, this guy, have cold snake eyes, are sinister, and hide in the dark to plan sneak attacks. You are exactly the same as that old guy from Shaplen."
He kicked the venomous snake away gently but not harshly. Fortunately, his exquisite boots were not stained with any disgusting venom, but dust and debris were still unavoidable.
"I almost forgot about the real thing. Alas, Medi is also serious. Can't you just leave this matter to his husband? Stand still and take away the obedient ones, and take away the disobedient ones with the same sword."
< br>
Although she didn't walk long, she still felt that her long legs were a little tired. She rubbed them and then started walking again, but she still walked very slowly.
Medi is the nickname of the current dark elf king, Meia.
Climbing a not-so-steep hillside, there is still a dense forest behind, which is dark and deserted. However, there is an open space between the forests, and there is a small manor with an exquisite shape. The windows have not turned off the lights, casting a little lighthouse in the night. Such brilliance.
An adult could rush up the hill in one breath. It was only a few dozen meters long, but she was so tired that she held her waist as graceful as a willow and rested on the spot for a while before walking down.
"No, even if you move one footprint per minute and leave ink for two days, you'll still be there."
She was doing the ink on purpose and didn't want to go back.
There are not a few wealthy people who build manors in the wild. They are tired of the bustling city and live in the quiet and elegant mountains and forests for a few days, which is called cultivating their sentiments.
However, judging from the complete facilities in this manor, as well as the clean lawn and surrounding environment, it is obvious that this is a place for long-term residence.
Dragging reluctant steps, when I walked to the gate of the manor, I happened to eat all the wild dates in my hand. The water content of this stuff was not high, and I was a little thirsty.
Ignoring the sign telling no outsiders to enter the private property, he crossed the fence very skillfully and landed lightly on his feet, before he could even breathe a sigh of relief.
Ding!
The sound of metal tools being triggered was not only caused by the closing of steel clamps, but also by hidden arrows flying from both sides. If it had been hit, blood would have flowed on the spot.
Two sharp metal hidden arrows pierced the intruder's head, and the remaining force remained unabated. They were stuck in the trees on both sides of the manor and were mostly engulfed!
However, the expected blood flow did not appear on the spot. The body that was pierced was just an afterimage of the clone left in place.
Ninja Technique: Shadow Clone!
"Wow, am I not the eldest lady of the family? Am I the much-loved baby? Why am I in such an embarrassing situation that I feel like I have been kicked out of my house and I was mercilessly killed when I dared to step into the house."
Squeak~ The old window shaft made a sharp and sharp sound. Before she could climb through the window, a neatly dressed, serious-faced, gray-haired dark elf opened the door, a smile on his wrinkled face.
"Miss, you finally go home and take a look."
"Woo, housekeeper, it's better for you!"
She took the housekeeper's slightly cold hand cordially, and finally got some soft spiritual comfort from the cold wind and unfriendly welcome along the way.
"Miss, I hope you are safe. There is hot tea and snacks prepared in the room."
The housekeeper closed the door. The room was brightly lit and decorated luxuriously and uniquely. There was a huge carpet on the floor. The pattern on the carpet was a magical firebird, but it was not the exorcist's shikigami Suzaku, but another. A one-legged flame bird, Bifang!
"Haha..."
Beside the living room, sitting by the fire, the stern man on the sofa glanced at her with his books and said mockingly: "Hey, you still know the way home. You have been away from home for many years, and the trees outside are all gone." Two circles thicker.”
He sat down calmly, picked up a piece of snack, took another sip of the mild tea, and exhaled a breath of air-conditioning in the mountains and forests: "You have only been away from home for about ten years, aren't you in better health now?"
"Are you hoping something will happen to me?"
"Well, you are in good health, and I am happy to be your daughter. By the way, where are the servants? Has the age issue changed?"
"We have all been sent out to take care of the family business. Recently, there has been an undercurrent in the Xuzu, and there are all kinds of internal commotion. Minette, you came back today at the right time."
After swallowing a mouthful of sweet pastry, Minette's blue eyes rolled wildly, as if she was accidentally choked, and she quickly picked up the tea and drank it hard.
"Hoo~"
Wiping the corner of her mouth casually, although she was the queen's childhood friend and best friend, and a spy placed in the Senate, she came from one of Xuzu's famous ninja families. She was a dark elf, but she was born in Xuzu.
"What's the undercurrent? Let me tell you, Dad, why don't we just pack up and go to Dark City? We are all of the same race. Meia will definitely welcome us back."
Xu Ancestor also has a dark elf tribe, which is no secret in Dark City. Especially during the Dark Holy War and the subsequent split of the Peruvian Empire and the hundreds of years when the Delos Empire invaded everywhere, several Bifangzhiyan served in Arad. It has gained quite a reputation.
"Meia? Oh, she has too much time to take care of herself."
Shaking his head, the strong man continued to read without comment.
"Let me tell you, Dad, Meia has achieved the unification of the Dark Elf Vanes, the Great Elder Xia Plun has handed over his chief scepter, and our country is on the right track."
Minette nodded again and advised: "We dark elves are very weak. Not only is it a national problem, but our race is also unique to the Arad continent. The dwarves were driven away by Meia, so we should let go of the past and unite. Yes.”
"Is this what you came back to talk about?"
He was vaguely impatient, how could those old antiques in the Senate allow the ninja lineage to return proudly, and the ninjas themselves had their own opinions and could not unify.
The main reason is Aska's founding policy and the recent vigorous martial arts competition, which allowed the people to see their future expectations and how Xu Zu will take the future.
Opening up is inevitable, and integrating with the Arad continent is an irreversible trend. Xuzu can no longer sit in the corner and play with himself as before.
New trends mean new opportunities, and there will also be those who are eliminated.
"Ninja", a secret organization responsible for the struggle for power among nobles, will no longer be able to be kind and amiable during the day, and turn into ruthless killers at night to spy on intelligence or assassinate targets.
Nobles who have been eliminated by the trend are likely to become hysterical and use ninjas to do things that are completely incomprehensible. They may even fight to the death and reveal the peaceful identity of the dark elves.
Especially the new king Askar, a vibrant new regime, will never allow the future nobles to control an extremely terrifying private assassination force, which is a threat to the imperial power.
He will definitely try to win over all the ninjas, otherwise, none of them will be left behind!
The best outcome for them would be to be like a sky eagle and be expelled from the Xu Ancestor.
"Minette, we currently have three opinions internally. One, try to return to Dark City, two, take the initiative to surrender to Askar, and three..."
"You don't want to assassinate Askar, don't be stupid, that man can challenge all of you." Minette said with disdain.
"Three, wait and see what happens."
Minette's father rubbed the temples on both sides of his head. The first two would cause huge changes in the ninja. The third one seemed safe, but in fact it was the least safe, which meant that the opportunity to look forward was lost.
But no matter what, the "ninja" lineage must be preserved!
As for the "man", he thought Minette was talking about Kowloon.
"Dad, which kind of people are the most numerous, and which opinion do you hold?"
"Well, the most people are watching the changes. As for me, I'm a little reluctant to let go of the Xu Ancestor who has lived for hundreds of years, but I also want to take a look at the Dark City."
"Cut~"
Minette raised her head and drank a cup of tea, completely quenching her thirst, "To put it bluntly, Dad, you are just a grassroots, just follow the wind."
