That's a fake elf

Outside the Druid Temple

The two druids were feeding the moonlight deer while listening to Helister's story about how she met Leon.

The more they listened to Li Ang and her experience, the more incredible the two druids felt.

They originally thought that being sent by Elder Cruz to the new lord of Cedar Forest Castle would be a terrible thing, because they all found out from their family elders that Cedar Forest Castle was currently occupied by bandits.

Some druids were sent to follow the new lord before, but within two months they came back disgraced with the lord. When asked why, it turned out that the lord had been defeated by bandits.

It sounds like a big joke for a lord to be defeated by bandits, but it wouldn't be funny if it happened to him.

Originally, they both thought that they would not be able to escape and would be driven out of Yew Ridge in disgrace, but Li Ang's strength gave them a big surprise.

Being able to subdue the Moonlight Deer and use the transformation technique to transform into the legendary Sunlight Deer shows that Li Ang has a strength no less than that of an elder Druid.

Following such a lord, they would not be afraid of being driven away by bandits without even entering the gate of Shanlin Castle.

"What are you doing? I don't have the money to reimburse you for so many expenses." Li Ang's face twitched as he looked at the hill-like fruit cores on the ground.

The price of these flowers in the market is not cheap. Foreign merchants buy these fruits that can be used as medicine at a price of 40 to 50 silver crowns per pound.

Now Guangliang saw that the flowers they fed to the Moonlight Deer herd weighed almost four or five kilograms, which was equivalent to 2 golds when converted into gold, which was equivalent to one week's salary when he was originally the archdruid.

"Don't worry, Master Li Ang. These flowers are grown by our family and are specially fed to Pegasus. In the past, when there was no time to harvest, they were often used as flower fertilizer. I still have several hundred kilograms here."

The blond Druid girl Ellie patted the space bag on her waist and said with a thick smile on her face.

"Um, okay then, forget it if you don't need any money." Li Ang turned his head away in embarrassment, feeling sad and angry for his own poverty.

"Lord Li Ang, where are we going now?" After picking up the fruit core on the ground, Ai Li approached Li Ang and asked in a low voice.

"I'm going to recruit some helpers first. This is 10 gold. Helist, you take them to buy some food and daily necessities. They should be needed when we get to Cedar Forest Castle. After buying the things, wait for me at the gate of the city."

With a look of pain on his face, he took out the gold coins from his pocket and put them in Helister's hands. Li Ang explained to everyone.

"Yes."

. . . . . . . . . . . .

In a tavern called Silver Moon in the outer city, mercenaries were eating cheap barbecue while bragging about their heroic performance in the mission.

The half-elf waitresses smiled and put the food on the tables of the guests, avoiding some people's hands.

The whole tavern seemed lively.

"Please enjoy."

"Thank you."

In the corner by the window, a young man with black hair, black eyes, a bun, and yellow skin thanked the half-elf waitress and quietly drank cheap turnip soup and bread. .

His movements were precise and elegant, with no crumbs or soup spilled on his black silk tights. He was obviously out of place with the sloppy mercenaries around him.

At this time, an elf with silver hair and golden eyes opened the door of the tavern and walked in. There was a sudden silence in the originally noisy tavern.

Just by looking at his appearance, you can tell that he is a pure-blood elf, and pure-blood elves are mostly wealthy owners and rarely issue tasks in taverns in outer cities.

"20 gold, recruiting an experienced scout, the time limit is one year, and there are no volunteers?" Li Ang looked around, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

If possible, he would actually prefer to recruit people from the Freemen's Association in the inner city, because those who can accept tasks there are usually mid-level professionals above level 40.

But there is no way. The professionals in the Freelance Association charge too high. Generally, the annual employment fee starts at 200 gold. If it is a mission, it is at least 20 gold.

"Sir, I am a level 20 thief, what do you think of me?" A Fanasil man with a sinister eyebrow and a stern eye rubbed his palms with a flattering smile on his face.

"I want experienced scouts, not thieves. I'm afraid you won't be qualified." Looking at the ragged leather armor on the thieves and the rusty dagger, Li Ang already knew that he was unreliable.

"With only 20 gold, you still want to recruit a mid-level professional. You're overthinking it, you poor guy."

Glancing at Li Ang with disdain, the thief patted the table in front of him, causing the tableware to fly around, making a jingling sound, and then taunted loudly.

"Yes, yes."

"If you don't have money, go home to your mother."

The mercenaries at the table next to him all started to boo, seeming to be very unhappy with Li Ang, a noble boy who obviously had no money but had to pretend to be fat and look for bodyguards.

Li Ang, who was ridiculed a lot, almost swiped a stick in the face of the thief in front of him to let him know why the flowers were so red.

At this time, the young man who had been eating quietly in the corner by the window stood up, walked quietly behind the thief, pressed him on the table, and almost pierced his nose with a dagger. on the desktop.

Li Ang was startled when he saw the man's face. He looked the same as the Chinese in his previous life, and the dress gave him a familiar feeling.

"You lunatic, did I provoke you?" The thief was so frightened by the sudden attack from behind him that a little yellow liquid flowed out of his pants.

"You spilled the soup into my bowl." On the table where the man was eating, there was an extra spoon lying on it. Judging from the splash of soup on it, it was indeed spilled into the man's soup bowl. inside.

"Isn't it just a bowl of turnip soup? I'll pay you." His life was in someone's hands, and the thief's legs were trembling.

"30 gold." The man said coldly.

"Are you crazy? You want thirty gold for a bowl of turnip soup?" The thief almost went crazy with anger, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he yelled angrily.

"Isn't your life worth 30 gold?"

"I'll give it. Isn't it okay if I give it? But I don't have that much money on me. You have to follow me to my house to get the money."

The cold sword blade scratched across the thief's neck, frightening the thief into giving up.

Li Ang frowned as he watched the man and the thief leave the tavern, followed by several more thieves.

. . . . . . . . . . .

In the dark alley, several thieves were lying on the ground, blood flowing all over the ground.

The man who caused this situation did not pay attention, but wiped the blood from the dagger on the corpse's clothes expressionlessly, and then slowly inserted it back into the sharkskin scabbard at his waist.

"You've been following me for so long, why don't you take action?" The man turned his back to Li Ang, clenched the dagger behind his waist, and a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

The next second, as if using magic, the man's body appeared behind Li Ang, with the dagger already placed across his neck.

"Wait a minute, they and I are not the same group. I followed these thieves when I saw they seemed to want to attack you." Feeling the edge of the dagger, Li Ang quickly explained.

Seeing Li Ang's silver hair and long ears, the man frowned and pushed Li Ang away, but the dagger was not put back into its sheath.

Glancing at Li Ang's golden eyes, the man's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and he frowned and asked, "Are you the elf who recruited the scouts in the tavern just now?"

"Yes, I'm right. I want to recruit you, what do you think?" Looking at the man's black hair and black eyes, Li Ang felt cordial for a moment and immediately stated his purpose.

"You are not qualified."
