Chapter 1109: You made the mistake of disturbing my hot spring bath

The menacing security forces marched in formation.

They were divided into several squadrons and surrounded them from various streets.

The light cavalry battalion opened the way in front, and the light infantry and elite warriors followed behind at a trot.

It only took half an hour for the security forces to arrive at the scene.

A team of 1,200 people blocked all street corners, including sewers and drainage canals.

Centered on the Awahana Tavern, all streets have been preserved.

Ox-carts and horse-drawn carriages were driven away, and all travelers avoided.

At the same time, several drinkers inside the tavern also noticed something was wrong and were captured by the security forces as soon as they went out.

The human bartender in the Sea of Reflowers saw this situation and immediately fiddled with the magic bell hidden under the counter.

…

In the basement of the tavern, the high elf rangers Heya and Ella (appeared in Chapter 269) were holding the hand of an old elf.

Aging is rare in elves.

As the famous immortal species in the Endless Continent, they still have a long lifespan even after the World Tree withered and collapsed and the Well of Eternity collapsed and exploded.

It is not easy to see an aging elf.

The appearance of most elves is fixed at the best years of their lives.

Only in the few years near the end of life will there be sudden aging until the end of death.

Obviously, the person staying next to Heya and Ella is an elf who is about to die of old age.

"Grandpa Matteo..."

"You'd better return to Silver Moon Forest as soon as possible."

"The humans in the great city of Lentak do not have a harmonious relationship with us."

"And those damn slave traders are trying to attack our partners all the time."

Heya, who looked more mature and calm, took his old hand and persuaded him with a sad tone.

But he saw this old high elf man named Mateo smiling nonchalantly.

"Kid, I've had enough."

"As the generation of elves who swore an oath under the oak tree."

"I have long been prepared to face death for the re-emergence of the elves."

"Over the years, my sworn companions have died one by one."

"I am the only one who has lived to the senile stage."

"For us, no matter where we die, we will eventually return to the arms of the sun."

Matteo's face was full of wrinkles and he looked extremely old.

But compared to humans, the aging of the elves is not too cruel.

At least they spend most of their lives in the prime of life, and their lifespans are much longer than humans.

Long life brings contempt for life and death.

He no longer fears death and even looks forward to its arrival.

Living for a long time is also very tiring, especially when the contemporary elves are still charged with the mission of revival.

In this era led by humans, all elves cautiously contact the outside world.

The Silver Moon Forest is protected invisibly and cannot be invaded by the human kingdom.

The area inside is not small, but it is incomparable to the vast outside world.

Therefore, it is difficult for the elves to work behind closed doors and must find ways to obtain more supplies from the outside world.

In fact, the current situation of ethnic groups in ancient times is not very good.

The same goes for the orcs, huddled in several areas of the feature.

Dwarves and goblins are okay, and they can basically integrate into the human kingdom easily.

But the same cannot be said for the elves.

Greedy humans covet the beauty of elves.

But this is also divided into cities, some human kingdoms and giant cities if they are more enlightened.

Elves can also integrate into their lives.

But the giant city of Lentax obviously does not meet this point.

The elves didn't even dare to walk openly on the streets for fear of attracting plots from slave traders.

In fact, all major human kingdoms have "Alien Laws", which clearly stipulate that all major alien races enjoy the same rights as humans in the city.

But when it was implemented in major cities, the results were completely different.

Some giant cities have achieved this, and there are many alien races and humans living together in the city.

In some giant cities, it's just the opposite, with racial prejudice and slave trade happening at any time.

As long as there is a world with the concept of ethnicity, racial prejudice will inevitably exist.

In any case, the Elf Eyes in the giant city of Lentax are indeed in a state of struggle with the local humans.

The words of the old elf Matteo were full of freedom and ease.

At this time, sitting on the other side, the younger and more lively high elf Ella kissed his forehead.

"Grandpa Matteo will have our people outside the city to pick him up in three days."

"When the time comes, you will follow us to the secret airship port more than a thousand kilometers away."

"I heard that the Elf Airship has upgraded its technology, and the one-way trip to Silver Moon Forest has been shortened by one-third."

But he still shook his head.

"No need, just bring more supplies back."

"Silver Moon Forest has no shortage of food and wood, but it doesn't have many minerals."

Just when Ella was about to say something, the magic bell in the basement suddenly rang.

"Jingle Bell!"

This is a messaging item with a simple principle.

The two bells form a pair. When one bell is rung, the other one will also ring.

Although it cannot convey too complex messages, it is more than enough to serve as a warning.

The magic bell in the basement corresponds to the bell in the tavern.

When it rings, it means something is wrong up there.

From the tavern hall to the basement, you need to walk through a narrow secret passage.

There are several metal iron gates along the way, and Ella and Heya always close the gates.

Of course, as an underground secret room, there is more than one passage to the outside world.

The secret passages of the elves are almost always connected somewhere in the sewers.

The complex sewer is like a maze deep underground, with countless corners.

Shortly after the bell rang, there was a vibration from above!

Then there was the sound of the iron gate of the secret passage being destroyed, which meant that someone had already come down, and they were moving very quickly.

Ella and Heya helped Mateo on the left and the right, trying to escape with him.

At this time, several fifth-level elites from the security forces had broken through several iron gates, and their figures appeared at the end of the passage facing the underground secret room. Their speed was beyond imagination.

"You guys leave quickly!"

Mateo shouted urgently and took out two red fruits the size of apples from the bedside.

This is a rare fruit condensed by tree spirits.

It's called the Flame Tree Fruit.

The Flame Tree is a very rare tree. When it becomes a tree spirit, it can actively absorb the free magic power of the fire element and condense it into Flame Tree Fruits.

Each fruit can be used to throw at the enemy. After breaking into pieces and detonating, flames will appear in all directions.

It is also accompanied by a violent explosion effect, which is basically not much worse than the fifth-level goblin bomb.

Moreover, flames and high temperatures are even more lethal.

"go!"

Mateo pushed hard and watched the elite warriors getting closer and closer.

Heya and Ella shed tears and crawled into some kind of temporary secret passage next to the bed that led to the sewer.

When everyone went in, Mateo's expression relaxed.

He hid his hands holding the two flame fruits behind his back, his eyes calmly waiting for the elite security forces to enter the secret room.

"Old elf!"

"Where's your accomplice!"

The security forces who were walking at the front started shouting loudly before they even got close.

I saw Matteo smiling and raising his hands above his head indifferently.

"Hello, humans..."

"Being able to see you at the end of my life makes me spend these two flame fruits in vain."

"Come with me to be liberated in the flames!"

"Ha ha!"

He laughed and crushed the fruit!

But after the peel cracked, the fire element magic contained within it boiled immediately when it came into contact with the outside world.

The red fire element gushes out from the two small fruits like a torrent.

Then it rapidly expanded and exploded!

High-temperature cluster flames swept across all directions, extending and spurting out along all channels.

Flames erupted from the entrance to the secret passage in the tavern hall, and these flames immediately raged in the hall.

Finally, the powerful impact caused by thermal expansion broke the windows and door bars.

The security forces had already taken control of the hall, and all the drinkers and bartenders were moved to the street.

But even so, the impact of the flames still caused many casualties!

After the flames raged, the explosion was long overdue!

Two floors of the Reflower Flower Tavern were overturned, and the violent shock wave spread across the street before dissipating.

The coverage area of the two flame fruits reached tens of meters, but in the cramped environment, the power they released was unexpected.

Compared to a simple explosion, the raging fire element is more turbulent.

At the same time, flames also spurted out along the secret passage where Ella and Heya escaped.

Not long after the two girls climbed out of the secret passage, they stood on both sides of the narrow passage openings and watched the flames spurting out with their own eyes, and burst into tears.

The high temperature swept through them, causing their blond hair to curl slightly.

"Grandpa Matteo..."

Ella burst into tears.

When the two girls first came to the giant city of Lentax, they were well cared for by Matteo.

That was five years ago.

At that time, Matteo had not yet entered the aging period. Although he was not young, he still looked young.

It was he who saved the inexperienced Ella and Heya many times, and taught them how to survive and develop industries in the giant city of Lentax.

Now, Mateo spends his last life protecting them.

The raging flames can burn everything, even the elite fifth-level security forces cannot resist it!

"It's time to go Ella!"

But the escape is far from over. The security forces will definitely send people down again, so they must leave immediately.

The more mature Heya grabbed Ella's arm and left along the steaming pipe.

This area is adjacent to the [Hot Springs God] bathhouse, so even the water flowing into the sewer is steaming.

This route leads to the drainage channel of [Hot Springs God], which is a sensitive area. The security forces must be worried about searching!

Moreover, it occupies a large area and has many gates, making it extremely convenient to escape.

Just put on a disguise and change your face!

Three or four minutes after they left, more than twenty fifth-level elite security forces emerged from the narrow passage stained with black ash.

At the same time, through the characteristic short-distance communication method, they informed the Sheriff Shuraya Bhutto of the situation here.

Following the heat and markings, it's not hard to guess where this pipe will lead.

Shuraya Bhutto, who was commanding on the ground, asked the elite security forces in the sewers to continue the pursuit.

The other side led people to move towards the [Hot Springs God Bathhouse], preparing to surround it.

This bathhouse is also the property of a nobleman. The nobleman is familiar with him, so there is no need to worry about offending him.

Because Rais Kazan, who came with Shuraya Bhutto, saw the opportunity to catch the hateful Elf Eye, and promised him that he would be responsible for compensating all losses!

This guy has nothing but a lot of money.

Even though he spent lavishly over the years, he accumulated tens of millions of dinars.

He can offer a price that satisfies the owner of [Hot Springs God Bathhouse]!

With only this guarantee, Shuraya Bhutto can act with confidence.

Although every city has "Laws of Foreign Races", they are to protect foreigners who have not committed any crime.

As for the Elf Eyes in the city, almost everyone has a few lives on their body!

So Shuraya Bhutto directly led the security forces to surround the [Hot Springs God].

…

At the same time, Ella and Heya had climbed into one of the drainage channels leading to the bathing place along the pipe.

There are hundreds of drainage channels in the entire bathhouse, and there's no telling which one will suddenly drain.

These drain pipes are not vertical but slope upward gently.

With a strong body, it is not difficult to climb up.

Therefore, they did not dare to neglect and quickly crawled towards the top of the pipe.

Each pipe leads to a different bathhouse. They just chose it randomly and didn't know where it led.

The drainage channels of the bathhouse are carefully designed and are located on the side of the bathhouse. They are only opened during certain periods.

There are also pipelines to inject new hot spring water.

The technology of goblin engineering was used.

Just as the two women were trying to climb up, the fifth-level elite security forces who chased out were holding some kind of special sensing props, and accurately identified the pipe they climbed through, and followed them closely.

…

After a few minutes, Ella and Heya finally climbed to the end.

There are two iron gates blocking it here.

They bravely activated their skills with daggers in hand, destroying the steel gate.

When the second steel gate was broken open, a huge flow of water poured in.

The two women stuck their daggers on the edge of the pipe and climbed out against the water flow.

What a coincidence, this is the [Sea of Peaks] large bathing pool.

What they opened was one of the twelve drainage pipes.

When the two women's heads came out of the water, they happened to see Mr. Zong's puzzled face.

"It's you!"

Ella couldn't help but exclaimed.

They all had their faces disguised, so Zong Shen didn't recognize them for a while.
