Naturally, it caused a commotion, but Tang Zhao didn't pay much attention to it.

The strength of the "assassin" is not strong, and it is not much better than normal people. Maybe this is a smoke bomb, or it may be a test.

He calmly observed the surrounding environment, trying to find out who was observing secretly, but unfortunately, there was no success.

[Forget it, I’m not familiar with the place, so it’s hard to do anything too drastic. Let’s solve the problem at hand first. 】

With this in mind, he used his spiritual energy to knock the human in front of him unconscious, put it on his back, and carried him to move away from the scene.

His current spiritual power level has been greatly improved compared to before. He is very effective against creatures without strong spiritual power. He can knock people unconscious even if he cannot kill people.

"What should we do now?" Maybe it was because he had never encountered this kind of thing before. It took the elf some time to calm down and start thinking about the current situation.

Tang Zhao looked around. Originally there were some pedestrians and civilians around, but now there was a large vacuum area for them. The people around him looked at Tang Zhao with horror or scrutiny.

Even if it does not appear in a complete form, within the scope of human civilization, it is difficult for civilians to see such a creature appearing in the city.

[Let’s go first, law enforcement officers will come over soon. We don’t know their position, so it’s better to have less contact.]

——

The expected observation did not go smoothly, and Tang Zhao took Reina and the fainted assassin back to the forest.

The assassin was taken care of by a more professional elf ranger. A short concealed weapon, poison for suicide, some small change, and nothing else were found from his body.

It's not normal, the level of professionalism is too high, which further confirms Tang Zhao's conjecture.

[Let me ask again, does anyone know about our coming here? 】

Leina could understand the meaning of Tang Zhao: "There are very few. On the elves, only the upper elf nobles and the elves responsible for related work are very reliable. We will never betray our compatriots at this time, and there will be a civil war."

The dispute has passed, and there is no need to doubt my compatriots.

In addition to them, there are three other people who have certain suspicions. The suspicion of the hobgoblin is the least among them. They have no reason to obtain this kind of information, and assassins and interceptions are not effective methods for them. The remaining ones are Ke Luo and Nai

Well, there are two countries. It’s hard to say the specific situation. The previous bats can be controlled by both sides, and I can’t counter-track them with my magical skills."

[Understood, other than that, does the other party know about my existence? 】

"I don't know 80% of the time. My father said that he didn't originally plan to let you come over, but an important advisor gave him advice, and he accepted it. In other words, your existence was a temporary impulse of my father's for a short period of time, and the information was leaked.

The possibility is not high.”

【Your father?】

"My full name is Lena Neil Archibald."

Archibald is the surname of a certain elf noble. He plays an important role in the western elf settlements and is considered one of the military pillars of the elves.

[Well, I think we should cross the border directly now. If the supplies we carry with us are not enough, we can hunt them from the wild or find an inconspicuous small village to exchange supplies. In short, we should temporarily avoid risky big cities and human outposts.

If you have to go, leave it to me as much as possible.】

Tang Zhao took the initiative to ask for a job, and there was no need for other elves to refuse. Now this is indeed a good choice.

Considering that Rena and other young elves may have strong elf family support behind them, there is a high probability that they will be followed by guards, but Tang Zhao has not discovered it yet. Since they have not shown up, they just want Tang Zhao and the others to think about it themselves.

ways to solve problems.

[Regarding transportation, troops are very fast now. Let’s continue to use the giant eagle. It’s okay if people here observe us, as long as they don’t intercept us. We also have customs clearance documents with us if we are stopped, so it doesn’t seem to be a big problem. 】

"You can rest assured of this. As long as we don't get caught and fall to the ground, Nairn's horse vultures and other flying mounts in the sky can't compare to our elves' giant eagles, at least in terms of speed."

[Understood, let’s do this. The original destination was the capital of Nirn, but now we have changed our destination. The person who signed the document is a certain regional governor. Let’s talk to him first.]

We still don't know what the situation is in the human capital, so we should first meet with the governor who supports them to find out the situation.

It is still unclear what the overall attitude of Nien towards them is. It would be bad if they were killed first and then played by the opposition.

After making a plan, everyone packed up and prepared to leave.

The giant eagle flapped its wings and took off from the forest glade, flying at high speed in the air. After a few minutes, they crossed the border and entered Nirn.

There are spellcasters stationed at the border guard station in Nairn, but their ranks are not that high. Even if they discovered Tang Zhao, they would not be able to go to heaven to stop him.

The previous exploration in the city was not fruitless. It can be clearly felt that the situation of the border city is relatively depressed, and the prosperity is not so beautiful. Some small traders have sad faces, which shows that the trade exchanges between the two sides are not as good as before.

Before, the relationship was even more tense.

After flying over the city and surrounding villages, the elves followed the map and arrived at Sam Province, where the governor was located. Due to its geographical location, Tang Zhao preferred to call it the Southern Province directly.

Nirn's land is not very vast. It is composed of five provinces, which are in the order of southeast, northwest, and middle. It is convenient to call them.

Falling in the mountains and forests of the southern province, they found a cave to set up camp temporarily. Tang Zhao wanted to take these inexperienced elves to work, but he was now being cautious.

At this time, they were finally free to interrogate the assassin. As expected, his tone was very strict. The rangers used various humane methods to interrogate him, but they could not get any useful information.

Firstly, his tone is indeed very strict, and secondly, these rangers are indeed not good at interrogation and the like. They are definitely better at shooting and throwing than interrogating.

Ask the ranger to use anesthetic to knock the person out again, which would be easier to manage. After that, Tang Zhao didn't care much about the assassin.

Anyway, we should be able to get in touch with humans soon, and just leave the assassins to them. They are better at doing similar things.

That night, we rested in the cave and hunted a few deer from the mountains to supplement our food. Everyone had a good rest.

The next morning, after Tang Zhao greeted everyone, he was ready to go to the human world to investigate the situation.

The capital city of the Southern Province is Turquoise City, which produces more minerals than other provinces. The governor in power in the city is Linn of the Richard family, a prestigious fifth-level man who once served as a lecturer at the Mage Academy.

Spell caster.

Turquoise City was not far from their side, and Tang Zhao arrived at the target area that afternoon.

It was obvious outside the city that the atmosphere here was abnormal. Tang Zhao was very familiar with this atmosphere, which was very similar to Yintao City and Luford before the war.

The city walls were filled with fully armed soldiers, and magic crystals were placed on the towering towers. Most of the main city gates were closed, leaving only three or five inconspicuous small doors that remained open.

After entering the city with some doubts, you can see heavily armed patrol soldiers and serious-looking mages from time to time. You can also see many well-equipped adventurers near taverns and hotels, with excitement or worry.

Get together and discuss the situation.

Tang Zhao was now a very small lizard. He stopped to observe for a while and then chose to leave. He did not go directly to the human governor, but went to the Lathander Church first.

Lathander is a god universally believed by mankind, with followers all over the continent. It is not difficult to find the church of this god.

Because of the sahuagin incident, Tang Zhao got along well with the Lathander Church in Oran. Before Tang Zhao returned, they provided him with a scale with a mysterious symbol.

It is said that this thing can be used to contact the Laosanda Church in other places and obtain their assistance. After Tang Zhao followed the instructions at the door of the Laosanda Church, this was indeed the result.

Tang Zhao received courtesy from the local Lathander Church and was not embarrassed because of his non-human status. Although the church people were surprised, they still showed understanding and respect.

Tang Zhao did not want to use the power of the Lathander Church to do any big things, but just asked them to use their own abilities and characteristics to help.

The first is to understand what kind of person Lin En is in their eyes, and the second is to obtain a legal and reasonable opportunity to meet him through the cooperation of the Lathander Church.

Neither of them is difficult, and it can only be regarded as a casual task for the local Lathander Church, and they are willing to help a little.

This is because Tang Zhao did not tell them their purpose of coming. If the Lathander Church knew that they were here to negotiate against the Principality of Colo, maybe the Lathander Church would even be willing to send troops. That country does not have a good reputation.

——

Two days later, near the Governor's Palace in Turquoise City, Rena was looking around, trying to take in the surrounding scenes.

If the church promised to help connect people, it must be true to its word. They formally submitted an application to the Governor's Mansion that day, and they agreed normally, so things were on track.

Reina and Tang Zhao entered through the main entrance of the Governor's Mansion and were quite surprised by the situation inside - the Governor's Mansion had completely turned into a small or medium-sized military camp.

There are a large number of soldiers patrolling the house anytime and anywhere, and there are many training grounds and observation systems that a military camp should have. The more such a place is, the more tense the situation is, and wars and bloody conflicts may break out anytime and anywhere.

The decoration style of the mansion is somewhat different from that in Oran. It does not highlight luxury, nor does it deliberately use aristocratic patterns and objects to highlight status and highlight elegance.

After all, the Governor was a spell caster who had been a serious lecturer, unlike anyone Tang Zhao had ever seen before.

After passing through layers of rooms and passing several guards, Tang Zhao, Reina and others finally entered the core of the Governor's Mansion and met the administrator of this large province in a large study room.

.

The Howard family has a long heritage. As the head of the family, Lin En is similar to what Tang Zhao imagined at the beginning. He is an unsmiling middle-aged man with a handsome appearance. More importantly, he looks good in body and can be seen through his clothes that he is strong and strong.

muscle.

It is said that this dual practitioner of magic and martial arts is not only a mage but also a fourth-level warrior. He is proficient in all the skills that a warrior should know. He was also a dazzling figure when he was young.

The two sides did not speak at first and looked at each other. After a few minutes, Linn was the first to speak.

"I've seen giant dragons and dragon beasts that can talk and think, but this is the first time I've seen a reptile that doesn't have dragon blood and has such abilities."

[This is also the first time I have seen such a strong mage.]

Tang Zhao politely complimented the other party. Lin En was very satisfied with his status as a magician and martial artist. This was the information he obtained from the Lathander Church.

After the initial politeness, both parties quickly got down to business and put away their playful mood.

"The first news I got was that the elves themselves contacted me. Although the situation is different from what was promised, overall it is not a big deal. Anyway, we will reach an agreement with Karak Solma sooner or later.

We humans do have interests with the dwarves, so it doesn’t hurt to have more friends.”

[It is good to make more friends, but at present, you may have too many friends. Originally, I thought that we would not be intercepted on this trip, and we might not encounter assassins on the street.]

Lin En smiled slightly: "I apologize to you on behalf of my colleagues."

[What exactly is going on? Please tell me truthfully. Frankness between the two parties is a necessary element of cooperation. 】
