That's a fake elf

In the dirty and smelly sewers, a group of hungry rats, bigger than cats and with octopus tentacles on their faces, were looking for all edible food residues with wide eyes.

Suddenly, a ray of light lit up the darkness.

A group of men in black robes, all wrapped up airtight, appeared in the eyes of the mice.

When they saw someone approaching, instead of being afraid, their eyes turned red and they launched an attack.

"Ahhh!" Yulia was startled by Sera's scream and almost threw out the magic lamp in her hand.

"Don't be so surprised." Li Ang, who burned all the mice to ashes with a wave of his hand, said angrily:

"Don't you also have a lot of mice for experiments in your own alchemy workshop?"

"Can it be the same? The little white mice I raise are all so cute. They are only about the size of a thumb and will not attack people at all." Sera grabbed Lei Lei's arm tightly and said with fear:

"This rat in the sewer is so ugly, and it attacks living people. You can tell it's a different species at a glance."

Woden rolled his eyes and turned to Yulia: "How far away are the people you mentioned who can help us?"

"Mr. Li Ang, those people have become enemies of almost all black market merchants because they have always been against the people in the black market, so they have no fixed location at all."

Yulia shook the magic lamp in her hand that kept dropping purple fluorescent powder, and said with a wry smile:

“Because I often provide them with supplies and information, I have channels to communicate with them.”

"Now we can only move in this sewer where they often hang out and wait for them to come to us."

"We won't be taken advantage of by the other party!" Sierra muttered in a low voice.

"Miss Sierra, the people hiding in the darkness are not all evil people with dark hearts. They have their own code of conduct and will not attack ordinary people like cultists."

Yulia's face turned cold and she glared at the pink-haired girl fiercely.

"People who have been involved in the black market all year round are bad to the core. No matter how easy it is to believe, we'd better be careful." Sera ignored Yulia at all and reminded Li Ang directly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared at the fork of the underground waterway.

The man was carrying two swords and had a pair of dark green eyes, staring at everyone as if he were looking at a dead person, which made people's hair stand on end.

"I am Yulia from the Pegliano Thieves Association, and these are my friends." Yulia took a few steps forward and tried to explain, but to her surprise, the other party disappeared directly into the darkness.

"..." Li Ang did not speak, but he became more vigilant.

"There are things approaching, the number is no less than 50." Lei Lei suddenly pulled out his weapon, his eyes became extremely solemn.

Seeing everyone's suspicious eyes on her, Yulia panicked a little and quickly explained: "This is definitely not the person I called."

"Get ready to fight!" Feeling the strange magic fluctuation, Li Ang's expression changed slightly, and a spear and shield appeared in his hand.

Dozens of tentacles suddenly shot out from the sewage.

At the same moment, a large number of humanoid creatures with eyes emitting dark light appeared at both ends of the sewer.

They were stooped, with an octopus head on their head, with more than a dozen tendrils protruding from both sides of their cheeks, and they kept making drowsy sounds from their mouths.

"It's a cultist!" Yulia, who cut off all the tentacles with Thunder, shook her body for a while, and looked at the humanoid creatures with a hint of horror in her eyes.

Facing these monsters, Li Ang showed no mercy. The thick thorns filled the entire sewer in an instant, and were ignited by the [Fire of the Abyss] in the blink of an eye.

The Spawn of Cthulhu and the cultists on the opposite side hidden in the sewage were burned to ashes without even a chance to react.

"I was scared to death. I thought I was going to end up here." Sera used the purification technique to disperse the poisonous mist around her, looking like she was surviving the disaster.

"Yulia, our actions should be carried out secretly. For this reason, I even removed the members of the royal family. What is going on with these cultists?" Li Ang frowned.

"I investigated the cultists for you before, and I may have touched their nerves, so they left an informant in the Thieves Association." Yulia said with a bitter smile.

"Is there a connection between the cultists and the disappearance of Miss Hekedna?" Lei Lei asked in confusion.

"It's hard to say, but I have investigated these cultists. During the Warriors Festival, they are arresting children with noble blood, almost to the point of going crazy. It is said that even the Pegliano military has begun to mobilize troops to prepare for suppression."

Yulia whispered:

"Maybe that young lady was targeted because of this."

"You just said that the Pegliano military is mobilizing troops, so who is the general responsible for suppressing the cultists?" Li Ang said with a twinkling look.

"It is said that it will happen between the Duke of York and the Duke of McIver, but now that Duke McIver is behind bars, the control of this army will probably fall into the hands of the Duke of York." Yulia guessed.

"..." Li Ang's pupils shrank when he heard this.

When he was at Baihua Manor, the cultists tried to abduct young nobles. After he found out, they planned to attack them. Although they failed in the end, they still caused quite a disturbance.

He originally thought that these guys would calm down for a while, but he didn't expect that they would become restless as soon as Pegliano's army moved.

When he thought that the Duke of Aurora and his family were reported to the royal family with the remains of a golden apple and were imprisoned, he became even more suspicious of the Duke of York.

After all, after the Duke of Aurora was arrested, only the Duke of York could benefit the most.

Bang bang bang bang

"Who?" The sudden applause made Li Ang look cold.

"He is worthy of being the son of Duke Fanasil, a pure-blooded high elf. This natural spell is indeed not comparable to that of ordinary druids."

The man in black who disappeared before suddenly appeared in front of everyone, his green eyes staring at Li Ang.

"who are you?"

In order to hide his identity, Li Ang activated the skills of [Avalon Asylum] and [Sage] Cloak.

He was confident that even if his biological parents came here, they would not be able to identify him.

But the person in front of him actually revealed his identity with one word, which showed that the other person had been paying attention to him.

"Haha, let me introduce myself. Albert, the former deputy commander of the second legion of the Fanathil Sword Dancer Legion, is now an executioner of the Necessary Evil Organization."

The man in black took off his hood, revealing a blond baby face, a scar from his right eyebrow to his eyes, and a pair of slender ears, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Pure-blooded wood elf? Are you from the Wind Chaser family?" Li Ang said in disbelief.

"I didn't expect you to still remember the fallen Wind Chaser family." Albert was stunned for a moment, with a complicated expression on his face.

"The people of Fanasil will never forget the illustrious military exploits that the Wind Chaser family has made for Fanasil." Li Ang said with respect.

"Those honors are in the past, at least the current Duke has never cared about it." Albert shook his head and looked at Yulia:

"Tell me, why are you looking for us this time?"

"We want your help to find someone." Yulia took out a photo.

Albert, who took the photo, glanced at it and said in confusion: "You should be better at finding people than me."

"If it's on the ground, our Thieves Association would say second place. Indeed, no one dares to say first place. But this time the target is in the underground black market. You are the necessary evil to be a local snake." Yulia said with a look of helplessness.

"Mr. Albert, as long as you can find her, you can spend as many gold coins as you want." Li Ang said solemnly.

"Didn't Yulia tell you about our rules about necessary evil?" Albert frowned and couldn't help but say.

"What rules?" Li Ang looked at Yulia.

"Rules are dead, people are alive. No matter what, this is the son of your Duke of Fanasil. You won't ask him to kill people for you, right?" Yulia's face turned red and she quickly persuaded him.

"Rules are rules, one life for another, it has always been a necessary evil." Albert said expressionlessly:

"If he doesn't want to sign the contract, we can refuse to help."

"Isn't it just murder? I agreed." Li Ang said solemnly.

"Okay, please remember your words." Albert curled his lips and slowly retreated into the darkness.
