The Return Of The God Level Assassin

THE mentioned elf had blond hair common to his kind and a pair of green eyes currently filled with irritation. He had a very handsome appearance that was common as well to elves like him. And, of course, the long and pointed ears. But in Luo Yanʼs opinion, moon elves were still much more beautiful in comparison.

The elfʼs gaze moved from the NPC to him and Shen Ji Yun. A weird expression suddenly crossed his face as if asking, ʼthese two weirdos were the VIPs?ʼ. Once again, Luo Yan marveled at how great these NPCs at expressing emotions even though technically they had none. Theyʼre probably even better at it than Shen Ji Yun.

”These are the VIPs?” the elf, Alen, asked.

”Yes, so treat them with respect,” the NPC who led them there said. Then she turned to them. ”Please, enjoy your chat.”

After that, she walked away and left them there.

Alen then opened the door wide open before walking back inside, as if silently telling them that they could enter the room. And thatʼs what the two did. Shen Ji Yun also closed the door as he entered.

The elf turned around and looked at them with impatience. ”Dear guests, if you have something you want to talk about, then do say it now. I only have ten minutes left before the next show starts.”

Luo Yan also didnʼt beat around the bush. He just simply removed his hood and mask. Showing the other his long white hair and extremely beautiful face.

A gasped escaped from Alenʼs mouth when he saw that. ”M-moon elf…!”

”Thatʼs right. Iʼm a moon elf that was sent by our Elder. I came here to look for Mr. Lhoris.” The elf flinched at the mention of Lhorisʼ name. Luo Yan continued, ”Something happened at the village and I have to pass an important message to him. The Elder said that he was currently working here. But when we arrived, it was already too late. We found out that he already resigned and we had no way of knowing where he went. It took a long while before we found out that you and him were friends. So, please, Mr. Alen. If you know where he is, tell us. It is of utmost importance.”

He said that while looking full of determination and worry. He was determined to find out where Lhoris was and he was also worried of the possible outcome if they didnʼt. Thatʼs the kind of image he was projecting.

Alen shook his head and then stepped back. ”I- I donʼt—I donʼt anything! I donʼt know who youʼre talking about.”

Luo Yan stared at the elf which made the otherʼs body jerked. If this elf and Lhoris were actually close friends, then that meant that he was just afraid that they would harm that friend. Thus, the denial. Which also meant that the fact that Luo Yan was also a moon elf was not enough to gain his trust.

He started to think of what could they do to convince this guy. Then he remembered the diamond-like eyes of Lhoris which was mentioned by that NPC working at the train. As well as the fact that the word ʼdragonʼ had came up in the conversation between Lhoris and this elf. His brain was already working twice as fast coming up with a good narrative.

”A legendary being that had been sleeping at our forest for a millennium had suddenly awakened. It happened nine days ago.” After he said that, he could see a shock expression on the elfʼs handsome face. So, he continued. ”Mr. Lhoris is a special moon elf, as you may have probably already known. His eyes… they were a magical existence. If we didnʼt find him in time and deliver the message of the Elder, who knows what will happen. He might end up in a very serious danger. So, please, Mr. Alen. Cooperate with us. Weʼre not here to harm Mr. Lhoris.”

Alenʼs body then started shaking. Then he plopped down on a seat behind him as if his body suddenly lost power. ”I- I thought he was just making lame excuses when he mentioned the d-dragon. I th-thought he just wanted to leave here. T-to l-leave me. I- I never thought--!” The elf suddenly seemed to be out of breath before tears started flowing from his green eyes. ”I should have known better. I- I should have trusted him!”

Luo Yan resisted the urge to raise one of his brows seeing this scene. Was it possible that this Alen and Lhoris were actually in that kind of relationship? Based on this elfʼs ramblings, that certainly seemed to be the case.

Well, this game was certainly promoting free love quite adamantly.

Well, anyway, he was just glad that his gamble paid off and that his guess was correct. There was certainly special about Lhorisʼ eyes. And this elf knew about it.

He went into character again and said to the crying elf, ”Mr. Alen, time is of utmost importance. Can you tell us now where Mr. Lhoris went?”

The elf sobbed while wiping the tears that were still flowing down his cheeks. ”H-he didnʼt say where. But- h-he must have gone to his cabin.”

”A cabin?”

”Y-yes. I-itʼs located at the Forest of Darkness. He mentioned it to me once, s-saying that if something h-happened, he will definitely hide there.” Alen let out another sob. ”That stupid bastard!”

Luo Yan felt amused at the elfʼs last words. But he immediately grasped the more important part – the Forest of Darkness. He smiled inwardly. It seemed they now had their next destination.

”Thank you. We will make sure that Mr. Lhoris would not be in danger,” he assured the elf.

The elf had now stopped crying. But his eyes were still red and watery. ”Tell that bastard that if he let himself get hurt, I will kill him myself.”

”I will deliver your message word for word,” Luo Yan said in a serious voice. ”But Mr. Alen, can I ask what Mr. Lhoris had said to you before he left here?”

Alen fell into silence for a few seconds, as if he was remembering what Lhoris had said to him. And then, after a while, he answered, ”He said that the dragon sleeping in his village had awakened. Disaster will fall on him and those around him once the dragon found out what he did. So, he needed to get away. To be in a place where no one could be hurt. That it was enough that he faced the wrath of the dragon alone.”

Luo Yan also went silent after hearing what Alen said. That was certainly quite interesting. So, Lhoris did something that warranted a dragonʼs wrath? But what could it possibly be?

He sighed. It seemed that things were starting to get complicated again.

”Thank you, Mr. Alen. We will be on our way now,” Luo Yan said finally.

”Wait-!” Alen called before they left. ”Please, protect him.”

Luo Yan smiled. ”Of course, thatʼs what weʼre here for.”

After that, both Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun walked out of the Alenʼs dressing room.

Luo Yan planned to talk to Shen Ji Yun about the conversation just now. But before he could do so, the other already spoke first.

”Yan Yan, does this mean we could now go around the amusement park and play?”

Luo Yan stared at the big rabbit and he almost couldnʼt maintain his expression. [I see. Shen Ji Yun, it seems you really know your priorities.]
