Just being a dark elf in Warhammer

Chapter 425 276. Uninvited Guest (Thanks to the leader of the Third Emperor Guilliman)

The door leading to the courtyard from the garage was locked from the inside like the stable. There was only one human carriage in the garage that could accommodate two human carriages, and there was no second aberration.

"This carriage was brought from the human Midden." As usual, Elanor took out a dagger suitable for fighting in a closed environment, inspected the carriage in a decent manner, and then pointed to the emblem on the carriage and whispered. .

"There is nothing wrong with this carriage. Not long after we entered here, I judged from the traces that it should have arrived when it rained heavily." Elano continued to check for a while. While he was checking, he was still trying to search for something. What useful information, but apart from the emblem, there was no effective information on the carriage. After confirming that there was no problem, he pointed to the ground and continued.

"Starting from Sulimburg?" Ren entered the garage and observed the surroundings first, then came to the carriage and whispered.

"No... usually the carriages from Sulimburg to the Human National Highway depart in the morning, not in the evening. Ever since the Treaty of Leaves was signed and humans came to the Frostfall area, the east bank of the Demster River has become dangerous. Just like what we saw on the road just now. If my judgment is correct, this carriage started from Midenland, and its final destination should be Sulimburg." Elano pointed at the carriage and kept analyzing.

"Maybe it was because of the delay in the trip. I came here to take shelter when it rained heavily at night. No...if the destination of this carriage was Sulimburg, the driver could have braved the heavy rain and drove to Sulimburg instead of staying here. , Unless there is some danger?" Elano looked up at his temporary partner and continued to explain patiently. While he was explaining, he seemed to think of something, and his expression became solemn.

"What if the end point is not Sulimburg? Skogholm? No, I've seen the map. The road to Skogholm should be at the three-fork entrance of Tilvide, not here or to Sulimburg. "Ren, who was standing next to the carriage, whispered his doubts again, and then began to ask and answer himself.

"There are dwarves living in Skogholm, and there are quite a few of them. There is a reason why they live in this forest. And according to our human response feedback, there is a dwarf community under Skogholm. There is also a secret passage leading to the forest at the same time as the residential area." Elano shook his head at first, but after hearing the word Skogholm, his face became solemn again. What he had just associated seemed to be the same as now. The pieces were spliced ​​together.

Ellanor revealed a lot of information, but he had reservations. He and his relatives have been looking for the exit of the dwarven secret passage. While trying to figure out the reason, they are also preparing to use the secret passage to enter Skogholm in the opposite direction. Inside, a revenge attack is launched against the dwarves. At the same time, they also analyzed the reason why the dwarves dug the secret tunnel, which was probably pointing to the dwarf army that disappeared in the forest during the Battle of Revenge.

Renne and Kewell looked at each other. They always felt that something was wrong. There seemed to be some kind of error in the analytical logic of Enil in front of them?

"So the passengers in the car are dwarves? They didn't choose the normal way to go to Skogholm because there was a plague there? And then the dwarves there met the dwarves in the car through the underground passage? Then their motive... is What are you looking for? The dwarf army that disappeared in this forest during the Battle of Revenge?" Cowell laughed softly while speaking out the possibilities he had based on the analysis of Enil in front of him. Halfway through his words After a pause, he turned to look at Renn again. If Enil's judgment in front of him was correct, there would be something intriguing behind it, but he felt that this was too ridiculous. How could it be such a coincidence.

Genevieve entered the garage and did not circle around the carriage. Instead, she leaned on a door and listened carefully. It may be because the door panel was too thick or the distance was too far. Anyway, it was not her hearing problem. She could hear the loud noises and cheers in the hotel, but she couldn't hear normal voices, and she didn't hear them even after listening there for a long time. When she turned her head to look at the garage, she found that the elves were still discussing around the carriage.

"Whether they are dwarves or others, why don't we go in and have a look? No matter what the identities of the passengers in this carriage are, they are all in the hotel in some form now." Genevieve shook her head helplessly at first He shook his head, then walked to the carriage and interrupted the elves who were still discussing in the Elsalin language of the elves.

"Yeah, why are we guessing here? But we can make a bet?" Renn reacted at this time. He was surrounded by Enil in front of him, and he said with a smile.

"How to bet?" Elano also became interested at this time.

"Just bet on the race of the passengers in the car. I'll bet on humans."

"I also bet on humans." Cowell also followed. He always thought that Elano's inference was too ridiculous. Although Elano's inference might be true, the chance was too low.

"Then I bet... the dwarves."

The bet between the elves was quickly established, but neither of them said what the bet was. It was more like they were looking for some fun in this boring life. Genevieve, who was standing aside, shrugged and had no intention of getting involved.

This hotel is very well designed inside and out. The stables and garage are very close to the gate. The hotel is connected to the stables and garage, and there are doors connecting each other. It is convenient and can be reported immediately when something happens. Escape or transfer instead of being blocked in a certain area, unable to advance or retreat.

The team did not choose to enter through the small door connecting the garage and the hotel. They came to stay, so of course they had to enter through the main entrance of the hotel. Soon, the garage door was opened, and a bolt of lightning flashed, illuminating Colonia, who was standing in the shadows.

"So...what's next?" Colonia asked with a smile after walking over.

Colonia's response was that the team members looked in the direction of the hotel at the same time.

"Forest House?" Ren was standing at the door of the hotel and could vaguely hear the chatter and laughter coming from inside. He looked at the windows blocked by curtains and the sign hanging under the eaves. He was reciting the name of the sign. At the same time he knocked on the wall and the door.

The moment the door knocked, Ren heard the chatter and laughter in the hotel disappear, followed by the friction of seats being moved, various running sounds, and the sound of jingling bells. After about a minute, he turned his head and pointed inside. When his companions nodded, he knocked on the door of the wall hotel again.

After about another minute, Ren stood there and took out a gold crown from Midenland. He looked at the running words printed on the gold crown through the light in the hotel and his good night vision. wolf with the word Middenheim on it. After taking a look, he threw the golden crown into the air, and then held it firmly between the index and middle fingers of his right hand.

Just as Ren clamped the golden crown, the sound of the door bolt being lifted came from the inside of the door. The door was slowly opened, revealing a gap. An eye mixed with various emotions looked towards the exposed person standing there. Rain with panic and fear expression. At this time, a bolt of lightning flashed across, illuminating the outlines of other people in the courtyard. His eyes then looked at the other people standing under the steps in the courtyard who were looking back from time to time, and then looked at Renn.

"Please forgive us for breaking the lock on the door. We didn't dare to shout. We were afraid of attracting things. There is something in the woods, something very scary! Please let us in!" Ren said with a frightened look on his face. , tremblingly handed over the golden crown between his fingers. After he saw the eyes looking at the golden crown from the crack of the door, he then said humbly, "Let us stay for one night. Please, we don't have it." If you catch the plague, you can look at the corner of my eye.”

After Ren finished speaking, he put the golden crown in his left hand and put his right hand into his arms in panic. The eyes inside the door showed a wary look, and then a surprised look.

In a panic, Ren accidentally dropped the money bag in his arms, making a heavy sound when it hit the wooden board. Several gold crowns rolled along the gaps in the money bag and fell to the floor.

The eyes in the crack of the door looked at the wooden board on the ground, greedily looking at the gold crowns, but more attention was paid to the money bag itself. He knew that there was something very valuable in the money bag, most likely gold. piece.

The moment the hotel door was opened, Cowell's eyes widened suddenly. He finally opened his eyes. It was the first time he saw such a fat human being, as fat as a ball. The human being was getting out of the way. When the body is in position, it seems that it is not moving, but rolling like a ball. If this human being is sure to be very popular in Krakalond, the group of Druchi will wave Soverein while admiring it and ask for some hands-on operation. After all, it looks so good in the hand that it can be used like peeling. Keep peeling like an onion.

After Renn went in first, Elano, who was standing at the door, paused for a moment. He gestured to his companions with his right hand behind his back, and then grabbed his long, wet hair. After he came out of the garage, , the rain-proof spell on his body disappeared.

The three companions who had not yet entered knew the meaning of Elano's gesture, but they ignored it after noticing it and entered the hotel one after another.

The interior of the hotel presents a typical human tavern scene. Under the dim lights, the air is filled with the faint aroma of malt liquor and toasted bread. But the tables and chairs exuded a hint of chaos. Long wooden tables and worn-out chairs were randomly placed in the tavern. Some chairs were leaning against the tables, while others were casually lying on the floor. There were scratches on several tables, and the marks of being struck by an ax were particularly obvious on one table, as if there had been a fierce scuffle here not long ago.

The wood in the fireplace is constantly burning, exuding warmth. Sitting next to him was a being who looked like a human official. He was wearing an exquisite three-cornered hat and a set of flashy clothes. He looked like a steward or tax collector of a human noble. After seeing the uninvited guests entering one after another, he stood up and gestured friendly to the fireplace, then moved laterally to a chair not far away.

Elanor walked to the fireplace and sat down. He also smelled a faint smell of blood in the aroma of malt and bread. His ears moved slightly and he heard the sound of wiping. From the sound, he could tell that someone was wiping the floor behind the bar, seeming to be cleaning some kind of trace that was very difficult to clean. He could hear the person sloppily wiping at a certain location, and then he heard the wooden sound. The bucket was overturned, and the water in the bucket rolled onto the floor. But he felt that the liquid in the bucket was not water? But some viscous liquid? Coupled with the smell of blood, it seems to be blood?

Then Elano, who stretched out his hand to warm himself up by the fire, looked at the human who had just given up his position in a friendly manner. He also smelled the smell of blood on this human, but the smell was drier and seemed to have solidified for a long time and turned into blood clots. , and there is also something wrong with the way this human moves. He obviously doesn’t want to expose his back. In addition to all these, this human seems to have a problem behind his back, and there are scars left behind after being infected with gray eye fever at the corners of his eyes.

Soon, Elanor was attracted by the ball. After his companions entered the hotel one after another, the ball standing at the door braved the heavy rain and entered the courtyard. He closed the door to the courtyard and put the previously destroyed chain at will. tied to the gate. After doing all this, he returned to the hotel, closed the door, and lowered the bolt again.

The ball that had done all this was fidgeting with the apron on his chest. His behavior was a little panicked and uneasy, which was quite strange. He felt like he regretted letting the uninvited guests in. Under the gaze of the uninvited guests, he took a deep breath to suppress his panic and tried to say something.

However, before Qiu Qiu could say anything, there was another knock on the door behind him. Renne, other companions, and the human official, who were preparing to perform again, all looked at the door that was being knocked hastily.

The ball that was hesitant to speak took a deep breath, turned around with difficulty under the gaze of the crowd in the hotel, and then made a mouthful of curses. All kinds of words that he could think of appeared silently from his mouth, and then He opened the door bolt again and looked out the door with his eyes as he did before.

"There are monsters outside! Let me in!" The moment the door leaked out of the gap, a rushing sound came from outside, and then the uninvited guest tried to push the door.

However, the ball was blocked there and the body position was there, so there was no room for this uninvited guest to be pushed away. But instead of closing the door, the ball opened it. It seemed like it was ruined. They had already been put in a wave anyway, and it didn't matter if another elf was put in.

Renn, who was warming himself by the fire, saw an Enil nimbly entering through the gap in the door, and then entered the hotel through the gap between the ball and the wall. He knew that this Enil was probably the one who was secretly observing them just now. It seemed that there was some reason why this Enil was not allowed to come here.

"There is a beastman warband nearby, and I saw a minotaur!" Enil, who came in, first showed a horrified expression, then bent down and supported his knees with his hands, panting heavily, and said with lingering fear.

Elano looked at Enil, who was performing some kind of performance, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth that was not caught by the human officials next to him. Then the smile disappeared again, as if it had never appeared on his face. He liked Enil's performance before, now, and in the future. He likes whatever performance method Enil uses.

Enil's performance needs to be supported by the audience. The members of the running team showed gasps and frightened expressions in coordination. Colonia and Genevieve, who have lived for hundreds of years, uttered words that only little girls have met. It's the sound that comes from something scary.

Renne and Cowell were so frightened that they stood up from the chairs they had just sat on and walked around in a daze. However, there was a certain logic to their movements, and they seemed to be moving toward what they could see. Walk in the direction behind the bar and see the human officer standing behind him. The two of them who had already experienced it were neither deaf nor blind, and the two of them who could see and hear Elanor could certainly do the same.

Elanor first looked at his temporary companions in surprise. He found that his companions seemed to be very good at acting. Then he adjusted his position and sat there with his body in an arch shape. His elbows were placed on his knees, and his hands Holding the temple area of ​​the head as a look of horror and disbelief. After the performance was over, Enil looked over in surprise, and he made a gesture to Enil with the ball and the human official's hand behind his back.

Enil looked relieved when he saw Elanor's gesture.

Thank you all for your support this year, because of your support...

It seems that I have never thanked you before, of course there are people in the group...?

Now I am crying, from the bottom of my heart, bursting into tears, bursting into tears, bursting with tears, pissing myself, etc. (10,000 words are omitted below)

Although it is omitted, I really thank you all for your support from the bottom of my heart.

(`) Comparison

I originally planned to take leave today and go to the beach to relax, but... my partner didn't go, so I slept until 6 pm. I was in a bad state and felt a little dizzy, so I wrote less today and more tomorrow.

I kind of thought about it.

I want to make this paragraph more exciting. This paragraph may not appear in the rest of the book. I am in a high position and there are some things I want to write but I cannot.

There are some hooks in this paragraph to introduce new characters and events. Of course, these are all serving the main line_(:з」∠)_
