What era is it, still traditional card making

"Hey, what's wrong with me lately? I don't feel like I'm on vacation at all. Instead, it feels like I'm always on bounty missions."

Valen sighed as she walked down the stairs. Before she reached the door of the hotel, she heard a violent quarrel.

"Fuck you, you stinking foreign enemy. One gold coin per night. If you can afford it, stay. If you can't afford it, get out!"

"One gold coin per night? Why don't you go and rob? If you keep yelling, I'll wipe you out of Ed City."

"Erase? Okay, okay, I want to see how you erase it today."

"What are you?"

"What's wrong with you? Are you not convinced? Try to show me how to do it."

Similar scenes continued to play out in the hotel.

Valen couldn't help feeling a little tired when he saw the scene in front of him.

It has been almost a week since she came here, and she feels that this place is more lively than those lawless places.

The local demons were so welcoming that they robbed her at least ten times after seeing her strange face.

If she hadn't been so capable and able to rob her fellow thieves, she would have been defeated in this city with simple folk customs long ago.

According to previous rumors, this city in Thranduil's Kingdom should be a resort.

Although the neighboring Kingdom of Elland is at war, this is the capital of the kingdom, so the impact should not be too great.

Why did the demons here suddenly become so violent?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at the sword at her waist.

What kind of place did this Grandpa Jian take her to? She felt that she should have just followed Kelly and the others.

Valen came to the street and heard the whispers of the surrounding demons. Today's topic seemed to be different. Shouldn't these demons usually discuss who smashed a certain store today?

Why is today's topic so normal?

"Have you heard that our kingdom seems to be declaring war on the neighboring Principality of Westria?"

"Isn't that right? Aren't we supposed to support the Kingdom of Elland and help them through this Dragon War?"

"No? That's right! Think about it, the Principality of Westria probably thinks the same now. Wait for them to send troops to support the Kingdom of Elland, and then we can send troops to launch a surprise attack. Wouldn't it be easy to get the credit for expanding our territory?"

"That seems to be the case."

"It's a ghost!"

As Valen listened, he felt like something was wrong and subconsciously complained.

After seeing the unfriendly looks from the surrounding demons, she decisively put on a vicious look and glared back at them, then left the street.

As she walked along the road, she felt something was wrong.

Now is the special period of the Dragon War. Are those nobles in the Kingdom of Thranduil bored and want to expand their territory?

Don't worry about whether you can conquer the neighboring principality. Even if you do, you will be hostile to all the countries in the demon world.

After all, everyone is working together to fight the dragon, but you are backstabbing your allies at this critical moment.

After doing something like this, aren't you afraid of being besieged by other countries?

At first, Valen thought this was just an ordinary demon's fantasy, but after arriving at the square, she realized that

These demons are serious.

They really want to take down the entire Principality of Westria.

At the front of the square, a short and fat demon was giving a speech to the people below.

Valen had been here for almost a week, so he naturally knew who the demon standing on the podium and giving a speech was.

Ere Puch, the king of this kingdom,

Now that the king has spoken, it seems that war is inevitable?

As Valen listened to Ere's speech on the stage, he suddenly felt an itch in his head:

"How strange! Why did they start fighting out of nowhere? These guys really don't consider the consequences at all, right? Aren't they afraid of being surrounded and suppressed by other countries?"

The whole kingdom was filled with a strange atmosphere.

They seemed to be caught up in some kind of war frenzy, becoming very irritable and eager to fight with others.

Valen had seen the peak, but she had never seen an entire kingdom go crazy.

At this moment, she already felt something was wrong. She raised her head and glanced at the king who was still giving a speech. Without thinking, she immediately chose to turn back.

"I really can't stay in this damn place for even a second. Am I here to take a vacation or to be tortured by these gods and men?"

Valen hurried back to the hotel, took all his belongings, and immediately chose to leave the city.

the other side.

As soon as the sun rose, Ye Qiong and his companions prepared to leave the city to look for a key figure.

Valen,

If they had the guidance of the sword in Valen's hand, their actions this time would have gone quite smoothly.

Kelly had previously installed a tracker on Valen, and now she was ready to see where Valen was.

She took out a blue crystal screen and pressed it lightly.

A map soon appeared on the screen, with a red dot that stood out.

Ye Qiong moved closer and after seeing the moving red dot, he immediately guessed that the red dot might be Valen.

Kelly looked at the map and said to herself:

"Let me see, where is Valen now? The Kingdom of Thranduil is not that far from us. Wait, why did this girl leave the city? Where does she want to go?"

"Her movement speed is not normal. From the looks of her, it seems like she has discovered something incredible and is running away at full speed?"

Ye Qiong spoke up and expressed his guess.

Kelly nodded slightly in agreement, and then said:

"If the sword is guiding us, then Valen should have noticed something unusual in Thranduil's kingdom by now. The extent to which the Seed of War has affected the kingdom may be much deeper than we imagined."

"If that's the case, then I'll set out quickly to meet Valen. Maybe she'll thank us for saving her life then."

The two women nodded in agreement, and then the three of them boarded the Triumph and flew towards Valen's location.

"No, brother, what on earth are you crazy about? I'm just a stranger who has stayed here for a few days. Do you really want to hunt me down like this?"

Valen had already left the city, but her journey out of the city was not smooth sailing, at least it was full of hardships.

When she first arrived at the city gate, she discovered that she was the only person leaving the city.

Her empty figure compared with the tall city gate seemed extremely small and lonely. The guard at the city gate saw her at a glance and said coldly:

"This is a special period, and no one is allowed to leave the city without permission."

"special period?"

Valen felt something was wrong when he heard this. Even if other cities had entered a war alert period, they should not have blocked the city gates so thoroughly.

The enemy hasn't even arrived at the city yet, is it necessary to have such strict defenses?

When Valen saw the fanatical looks of the two guards, he immediately realized that it was impossible to get them to let him pass through the city gate just by words.

Therefore, she decisively took out two gold coins from her space ring, intending to smooth things over and ask the two guards to be nice and pretend they didn't see her.

However, as soon as she took out the gold coins, the two guards' looks became a little strange.

They stared at Valen intently, and then said with a hint of anger:

"You want to bribe us?"

The experienced Valen immediately put on a smile and replied:

"How can this be called a bribe? This is called friendship money. Today I want to make friends with you two."

When she said this, she thought that there might be a boss watching nearby, so the two of them didn't dare to accept the gold coins.

But when she looked around, she suddenly realized that

There's no one around?

Because the city gates had been blocked, the only people here were her and the two guards in front of her.

Such a good opportunity to make extra money, these two guys really don’t want it?

She wanted to say a few more words, but suddenly she found that the two guards suddenly put their hands on the swords at their waists.

Valen immediately realized something was wrong.

These two guys want to take action.

The moment he realized this, Valen's heart was filled with confusion.

It would be fine if you don't want the gold coins, but why are you taking action?

Besides, how could you two silver-level soldiers possibly defeat a great witch from the holy realm?

The repeated rejections also made Valen a little annoyed.

Seeing that the two guards were about to attack her, she decisively cast a spell, condensing two shadow arrows in mid-air.

"You two, are you really not going to let me go?"

There was no response to her words.

The eyes of the two guards were filled with determination to die, and Valen felt like a dragon attacking the city.

She sighed softly, and then shot out two shadow arrows, hitting the chests of the two guards squarely.

In an instant, the two guards who had just acted fearless fell to the ground.

Valen also didn't understand. How much did these two guards earn a month? Was it necessary to work so hard?

Normally, if someone made such a noise at the city gate, they would notice it quickly.

She didn't dare to stay at all and immediately chose to run towards the city gate.

However, the reaction speed of other people in the city was much faster than she had imagined.

After the two guards fell, hurried footsteps were heard immediately.

The city guards were dispatched.

If there were only guards, the footsteps wouldn't be so loud.

There should be some curious residents following.

The conflict between Valen and the city gate guards was like a fuse that completely ignited the city.

Originally, due to the influence of some special force, this place had already become a powder keg that could explode at any time. Now, because of Valen, the powder keg exploded prematurely.

If Valen hadn't lived here for a week, she might have felt it was strange, but now, she just felt it was natural. With their bloodthirsty looks before, she was afraid that if there was only a little spark, they would immediately fan the flames and turn the flame into a blaze that could burn the entire city.

Just like now,

At first, only the guards caught up with him.

Later, the residents of the city rushed over. Their initial target was very clear, which was the witch who was constantly running away. After realizing that they could not catch up with the witch at all, they became furious and swung their fists at the demons around them, regardless of whether they knew them or not, and whether they had offended them before.

Anyway, I have to vent my anger.

After this, the crowd completely rioted.

Valen looked back at the scene behind him, and his lips couldn't help but tremble.

Isn't this too damn cruel? How angry are the demons in this city?

Valen was not a fool. She knew that the strange situation before her must have been affected by some special power, so she hurried out of the city.

Looking at the pursuers behind him,

She breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously. Without even a Saint Realm expert, he probably wouldn't be able to catch up with her.

Soon, she arrived at another city in Thranduil's kingdom. She didn't know where the demons here got the information from. After seeing Valen flying in the sky, they attacked immediately without thinking.

Even though Valen is much stronger than them, he can't withstand a group attack of tens of thousands of demons, right?

Valen was already a little embarrassed at this time. He gritted his teeth and used a secret method.

Her body turned into blood and she immediately fled outside the city.

After using the blood escape secret technique, her face suddenly turned much paler.

She originally thought that she could finally shake off the pursuers this time, but she didn't expect that even in this desolate place, there were still people attacking her.

There were roaring sounds coming from all around.

Valen, who had extensive field work experience, immediately determined that this was the sound of a raging wolf.

There were not only the Raging Wolf, but also other monsters.

Was it attracted by the smell of blood?

Valen quickly rejected this judgment. Judging from the sounds of these monsters, they had already started fighting before she arrived here.

She seemed like an outsider who had strayed into the battlefield by mistake, looking extremely out of place.

Soon, a monster discovered her trail and ran towards her.

Valen couldn't help but sighed, then looked at the sword on his waist, and said with resentment in his heart:

"Master Jian, what kind of hellish place have you brought me to? None of the demons and monsters here are normal."

Valen was already somewhat desperate at this time, and she hoped that Master Jian could show up and lead her out of the encirclement. (End of this chapter)
