Chapter 253: Reunion
A line of ice cold suddenly rushed into Sewiniya's throat, and the chill exploded from her tailbone and rushed straight to her crown, her whole body stiffening like an ice sculpture. Only a buzzing echo remained in her blank brain—she was going to die... she was really going to die this time!
The originally quiet and secluded garden was suddenly filled with noise. Firefly lanterns were awakened one by one, and teams of guards interspersed back and forth. Soon, someone saw Sewiniya Elder standing stiffly in the moonlight and the flying soil and scattered flower vines around her.
"Ah, Sewiniya-sama is here, the enemy should have been beaten away!"
"My Lady, I'm so sorry! It was our negligence that allowed the thief to sneak into the Council Garden!"
The noisy environment around pulled Sewiniya's thoughts back.
"I didn't die?"
She reached out to cover her throat, and when she took it away, a smear of blood red was very dazzling in the moonlight.
The joy of escaping death spread throughout her body. Her stiff body also relaxed. But then, a huge sense of humiliation surged into her heart again!
"That bastard vampire! How dare she humiliate a great Elf like this!"
In the moonlight, the Elf's consistently beautiful and elegant face was red and green. Fortunately, the patrolling guards didn't dare to look directly at a member of the Druid Council.
Sewiniya's full anger had nowhere to vent. Although she was not a Druid good at fighting, she couldn't tolerate the evil, dirty vampire humiliating her.
"The opponent is a powerful spellcaster. Such a person sneaking into the Council Garden is not something you can detect. This is not your fault! However... the intruder is a female thief. I will give you the portrait of the other party later, search the whole city!"
The guards took the order to strengthen the patrol work. At this time, three Druid elders walked over surrounded by a group of people.
It was the Speaker of the Druid Council, Aierwen Qingxu, and councilors Loselan and Iserael. Among them, Aierwen Qingxu was an elderly human, and just like his name, he really had a long beard that was blue and white.
And Councilor Loselan was a strict-looking female human Druid, and the deep nasolabial folds on her cheeks reinforced this point.
Councilor Iserael was a handsome middle-aged handsome man with a gentle face. Of course, he looked like a human, but he was actually an Elf who had cast a transformation spell.
All the Elves in Longfang City used transformation spells to turn into human images, which could save them countless troubles. This was also why the three were surprised when they saw Sewiniya reveal her Elven appearance.
"Is the intruder powerful?"
It's no wonder Iserael would ask this question. In fact, he really couldn't figure out what was worth visiting in the Council Garden of Longfang, not to mention that a large group of powerful Druids including Speaker Aierwen lived in the back garden.
In fact, for so many years, there had been no chance for thieves to visit the Council Garden, let alone the central water tower in the city. There, troublesome guys would secretly change the waterway from time to time, which made Iserael, who was responsible for this matter, annoyed.
"Very strong, a damn vampire!" Sewiniya took the lead and walked toward an open space in the back garden. That was where the Druids chatted and rested on weekdays, and the bright moonlight was just right for discussion.
The guards dispersed far away, and the four councilors sat down at will, ready to listen to Sewiniya's story. They were all curious about the suddenly appearing Blood Clan, which was rare in Longfang City.
Although ordinary people didn't know and could only guess, top organizations or individuals on the continent knew that Longfang City-State was a city for the Elves to the outside world, so generally, no powerful characters would come to Longfang City to find trouble.
And the Druids of Longfang always liked to study flowers, birds, fish, and insects at home, so they wouldn't easily see other strange races.
When the councilors heard that the Blood Clan was coming to Longfang City to find the Elves' station, they were even more unbelievable. Even if it was a necromancer, they could understand it. Vampire? That race that betrayed the Moon God came to the Elves for help? Didn't her parents tell her the history of the Blood Clan?
When asked what the Blood Clan specifically wanted to do, Sewiniya didn't know.
"She also had a companion, but I didn't listen to her at all. This is too ridiculous!"
The three nodded in agreement, especially Iserael. He felt that even a good-tempered person like him would get angry if he heard a vampire wanted to enter Moonlight Woodland, let alone the always bad-tempered Sewiniya.
However, in general, it was not a big deal. The Druids didn't believe that two Travelers could do anything.
……
Nie Yingying, who turned into a shadow again and walked through Longfang City, felt annoyed in her heart. That female Elf was too rude, but thinking of the lesson she left for her last night, her mood improved a lot.
However, in the end, she failed to investigate the information about Moonlight Woodland, which made Nie Yingying a bit discouraged.
Returning to the Jin Sui Hotel, she angrily lifted Xie Yaoyao's quilt and dragged him up in his blank gaze.
"Pack up, we are leaving!"
"Oh!"
Silly Yaoyao didn't know how to resist at all to those close to him. He did whatever Nie Yingying said.
When the two walked out of the Jin Sui Hotel, the sky was already beginning to brighten. The firefly lanterns on the street were also gradually extinguished, and the fireflies that had worked all night also had to rest.
Seeing that the breakfast shops with Longfang characteristics on the street had already opened, Nie Yingying led Xie Yaoyao over.
"Dew Teahouse"!
It really had a name with Longfang characteristics.
The morning mist was still dripping on the eaves, and the two had just touched the seat woven with fatsia leaves when a green-haired girl came gracefully. The blue iris tucked behind her ear jumped with her movements, and the first impression she gave was liveliness and beauty: "Morning, two guests, would you like to try some freshly condensed moon dew honey?"
Nie Yingying nodded, looked at Xie Yaoyao, who was staring at the wind chime hanging on the eaves beside her, and opened her mouth: "We are visiting Longfang City for the first time, do you have any recommendations?"
"Guests visiting for the first time." The girl's emerald fingernails slid on the wooden sign on the wall, which recorded various breakfasts provided in the shop. "Then would you like to try the star vine thousand-layer pastry with nightmare fungus sauce? The thousand-layer pastry made by Auntie Polly is delicious!"
Nie Yingying was about to nod in agreement when three familiar voices sounded from the street. Because the three voices sounded almost at the same time, it sounded a bit messy.
"Nilu, I'm back!"
"Sister Nie! Brother Linghu!"
"Little Sha, are we not there yet? I'm hungry!"
Nie Yingying, Xie Yaoyao, and the service girl standing by the table turned their heads together, and saw Agatha, Duanmu Xing, and Vivian, who hadn't been seen for a long time, standing in the middle of the street looking at this place with surprise. ===== CHAPTER 254 =====
