Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair.

The dark alley was so long that it seemed that there was no end no matter what. Constance even suspected that the length of the alley was slightly longer than the diameter of Green Swamp Town.

But if that was the case, how did that damned Evander Holt manage to build it without being noticed? And even after it was built, how did she manage to ignore it?

This is unreasonable!
The half-elf staggered, and a dagger flew out from somewhere behind her and pierced her shoulder. As the attack hit, the assassin's strange and disgusting laughter rang out in the alley for the third time, sometimes far away and sometimes close.

He was a killer with clown paint on his face and wearing a funny circus costume. In the beginning, Constance had fought with him twice. The opponent's ability in frontal combat was very weak, but when he suddenly disappeared from her sight, Constance found that her situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

There were magic boxes laughing strangely everywhere, poisoned knives flying out from the darkness from time to time that didn't hit the target, and...those stand-ins that looked exactly like the assassin but could explode at any time and place.

Constance gritted her teeth and reached out to pull out the flying knife from behind her. When she did all this, the other party did not stop her. The clown seemed to be watching her like this, waiting for her to walk into the deepest part of the alley by herself, holding on to the glimmer of hope that there might be an exit at the end of the alley, and finally being poisoned to death.

Constance felt that she had completely figured out the guy's tricks, but what was the use? She had no choice but to fall into the trap set by the other party - behind her was the clown, the clown Evander and their clown accomplices.

There must be a very powerful spellcaster among them, or he has been planning this for a long time, otherwise those Yungang thugs would never appear here.

After all, according to Shuke, the tribes in the north have almost blocked all routes of travel.

On the top of the tower, Gillianis stared coldly at the man opposite her. If her memory was not too bad, his name should be Mark, and he was Evander's follower.

She had already noticed Evander's intention the moment the clown showed up, but at the same moment, this man appeared here and stood in front of her.

One of the moon elves' hands slowly stroked the horns on top of Exuri's head. The young black dragon bared its teeth and protested towards the other party. However, Mark did not show any sign of vigilance. His eyes were only on Gillianis.

"Gillianis Galanold, the former chief wizard of the Hailan Empire," Mark spoke in a hoarse voice, which was completely different from his previous voice. "I have no intention of fighting with you. I know my own strength. I just want to tell you that it is not a bad thing for the Holt family to take over here. Compared to Ron, a peasant, it is obviously a wise move for him to continue cooperating with us."

"I remember that your previous judgment about Ron was that he should be the noble son of some unknown family. Has your conclusion changed?" Gillianis asked, fluttering her long eyelashes.

"That's the young master's conclusion, not mine," Mark shook his head slightly. "I've spent most of my life in turbulent times, so it's not hard to tell what kind of person that little guy is. He lacks a lot of aristocratic habits, some of which are hard to conceal no matter how hard he tries."

"He may have received some good education, but he is definitely not a noble. Compared to cooperating with such a person, you might as well--"

"How can I deal with someone like you who has never received any education?" Gillianis sneered. "You took advantage of the master's rebellion and broke into my magic tower without my permission. I will never work with someone like you. Your only value is to be my specimen on my operating table." "As for that ignorant kid, the most I will do is keep his brain to see what disease caused him to have such unrealistic ambitions!"

The time in the wizard tower stopped instantly, and a sword-shaped force field appeared in Gillianis's hand, chopping down on Mark's head.

A mage like her is definitely not someone who can be easily provoked, and the lunatics who dare to break in when she is in the mage tower are even rarer, and their endings are no exception.

All will die!
"Is that so..." A sigh came from Mark's body. Gillianis's expression changed slightly, but she had already drawn her sword and slashed down. The force field easily split Mark's head open, but the feeling made the Moon Elf feel a little strange.

It was so easy, it felt like... an empty shell.

"you dare!"

In the blink of an eye, the moon elf face on the shoulder suddenly shouted loudly, and his words were like law. Under the command, an invisible figure was instantly stopped in place. When Gillianis turned the sword and slashed, a puff of dark green blood spurted out, and the figure immediately retreated and disappeared again.

"I knew you would use time stop," Mark, whose head was chopped off, was still able to speak, even though the inside of his head was empty, "but normally, you wouldn't choose to stop the time of the entire world, which gives me an opportunity."

"What a shame, what a shame... I didn't expect there would be something like this on your shoulder. Is this your spell book?"

Gillianis did not answer. She was very upset about the near-miss. As her eyes flickered, the entire tower lit up with arcane light. Countless high-level magics were directed inwards, towards the transparent attacker and Mark, who was only a layer of skin, leaving them with nowhere to hide.

The Moon Elf was not boasting when he claimed to be the most powerful wizard in the world. However, a moment later, the tower had returned to its original state, and the uninvited guest was reduced to ashes without a trace of smoke.

However, Gillianis did not let her guard down. She looked around and then looked at the alley that trapped Constance, which had an infinite extension effect due to the influence of magic. Everything seemed to be fine.

But still…it’s not right.

Aikthuri didn't understand what his Moon Elf teacher was thinking. He raised his head and arched towards the Moon Elf's hand. However, just this one action made the elven wizard's five fingers suddenly close together and press down mercilessly on the young dragon's crown!
With a light "snap" sound, the surrounding scenery was shattered like a mirror. Gillianis looked at the reappearing Mage Tower and the intact intruder inside with a cold gaze, and launched another attack. (End of this chapter)
