I have a city in another world

For the next few days, Yves stayed at the hotel, working hard to improve his skills.

Although he had been involved in the fighting all these years and had several near-death experiences.

However, this operation was more dangerous than ever before, and the enemy they faced was much stronger.

Even if the operation succeeds, we will still face retaliation from the enemy, and the situation will be extremely dangerous.

Of course, this is Yves's opinion, a judgment he made based on his own knowledge and experience. The specific situation will only be known in due time.

People of different statuses and positions will have completely different outcomes when dealing with the same matter.

Some people treat it as a formidable enemy, exhausting all their strength, yet they may still not be able to resolve the situation smoothly.

Some people don't care at all; they can handle it properly with just a casual remark.

Having learned of Tang Zhen's strength, the worries and concerns that had lingered in Yves's mind have now disappeared.

He knew very well that the things he was worried about might be handled by Tang Zhen in an unexpected way.

There is a huge gap in strength and knowledge between the two sides. What seems like a catastrophe to Tang Zhen may be insignificant.

Since that's the case, don't worry too much, just obediently follow orders.

Instead of worrying about other things, it's better to focus on improving your own capabilities to prepare for any potential changes.

Before becoming a formal wizard, Yves thought that was the sky, where he could do anything without restraint.

After becoming a formal wizard, he realized that this idea was extremely wrong. There were countless beings in the cultivation world who were more powerful than him, but in the past, his status was too low, and he had no right to contact them.

His only thought was to improve himself and survive better.

Inside the hotel, a group of rookie mercenaries were quite relaxed.

Over the past few days, the rookie mercenaries have gradually gotten used to the missions.

Every day, my job is to stand guard at the door or act as a training instructor in the open space.

Occasionally, I would glance at the roadside and watch the passersby wandering among the flowers, muttering to themselves and doing something foolish.

Most passersby acted as if they had entered a hotel, sitting on the ground as if ordering food, gesturing to the air before taking out money and throwing it on the ground to pay.

Many of them were acting suspiciously, clearly trying to gather information.

Some passersby even imagined what it would be like to stay at a hotel and rest, so they found an open space, took off their clothes, and went to sleep.

Some travelers, upon entering their imagined rooms, immediately began to furtively search around.

Some of these lewd guys fantasized about summoning prostitutes in the tavern, and in broad daylight, they would lie on the ground, thrusting and kissing each other repeatedly, which was utterly lewd and ridiculous.

Little did they know that their actions had already been exposed to the public and were being watched by a large crowd.

The mercenary team members were initially stunned and couldn't understand what was happening.

When they learned that those people were trapped in a hallucination, they gradually got used to it and even watched with great interest.

They would also occasionally comment and express their personal opinions, such as commenting on the time and length.

They then discovered that the elves could actually manipulate illusion arrays. Once they confirmed that the travelers were normal, the elves would use the illusions to trick them into leaving.

Those with malicious intentions will be punished, and may even be trapped and unable to leave.

Eating and drinking in a dream world are actually illusions, merely deceiving one's own senses.

Extremely hungry creatures will even eat grass and dirt, making their condition even worse.

In less than two days, he became sickly and even lay on the ground unable to get up.

Being trapped in the illusion array for a short time won't kill them, but it's best to leave them here before the operation begins.

None of the guys trapped in the illusion are good people; they came to the inn to gather information. Sparing their lives is already merciful enough.

The blonde female captain, Eva, has been looking worried these past few days, her brows always slightly furrowed.

Since accepting the mission and staying at this ordinary hotel, she has discovered more and more secrets.

This group of rare female elves were all free, not servants or pets of some powerful figure.

As a highly sought-after premium humanoid commodity in the dark market, it dared to swagger around in broad daylight.

Whether they are greedy mercenaries or cunning criminals roaming the underworld, they will not hesitate to kidnap these female elves and then sell them on the black market for money.

During the kidnapping transaction, they will inevitably suffer various forms of torture, ending up in a fate worse than death.

Knowing the dangers of the outside world, the fact that they still dared to act in this way indicates that they must have something to rely on to ensure their own safety.

Even so, it's still incomprehensible why the elves would show themselves in public.

Compared to those powerful nobles, the elves were in a terrible situation, with the outside world filled with malice.

Staying in a hotel is indeed the best option.

But judging from the elves' behavior, they clearly have ulterior motives, and may even be preparing for war.

Captain Eva was very curious about what the elves were going to do, and her intuition told her that it must be something big.

These rookie mercenaries, caught up in such a big event, could easily be annihilated if they weren't careful.

At first, the female captain regretted it, fearing that it would implicate her teammates.

These past few days have been peaceful, and although nothing has happened, they have made him increasingly uneasy.

She gathered a group of companions, shared her thoughts, and then asked for everyone's opinions.

If you don't want to participate, perhaps you can find a way to withdraw.

Although a contract has been signed, as long as one bears the consequences of breach of contract, there should still be an opportunity to leave.

Even if you manage to leave, it will ruin your reputation, making it difficult to get suitable jobs in the future.

However, compared to life, reputation may not be important.

Of course, it is also possible that knowing the secret would prevent them from leaving, and could even endanger their lives.

To prevent the secret from being leaked, the employer's decision to eliminate the mercenary squad was undoubtedly the most appropriate choice.

With Yves and the elves' abilities, wiping out this rookie mercenary group wouldn't take much effort.

After some discussion, the rookie mercenaries decided that quitting at this moment was the most foolish choice, truly bringing no benefit whatsoever.

Once you've accepted the employment, you must fulfill the contract, not back out of fear halfway through.

Learning skills begins with learning morality. These mercenaries, who come from formal schools, take contracts very seriously and regard their reputation as their lifeblood. Their youthful pride also prevents them from backing down.

The result of the discussion was that they would continue to perform the hired tasks, but if they encountered tasks that were beyond their capabilities, they could choose to refuse or withdraw according to the rules.

If threatened, the mercenaries will fight to the death to defend their rights.

Then the mercenaries discovered that their task was actually quite simple: to guard the gate, teach the beautiful female elves how to use weapons and equipment, and act as sparring partners during combat training.

The male members of the team were all very enthusiastic about it; it was a task they had been eagerly anticipating.

What shocked them even more was the elves' rapid growth. Just a few days ago, they were complete novices, completely ignorant of various equipment and weapons, and extremely hesitant in battle.

In just a few days, they were able to fight to a standstill, and even gained a slight advantage.

Its aura grew increasingly powerful, as if it were gathering strength, poised to break through its limitations at any moment. (End of Chapter)
