Half-elf Notebook

a few minutes ago.

“I see the target.”

On the dimly lit second floor, a well-dressed young man stood alone near the window, talking to himself.

Without a family crest, he was obviously not a noble.

Strangely enough, the businessman was different from the other upper class guests who were lucky enough to attend a banquet of this level.

He did not try to join any group or circle.

You have to know the upper class people who were invited here.

Except for a few outstanding artists, musicians, stage stars, and socialites who are good at everything.

Almost all of them are winners in managing their lives.

They understood the power of the nobility and would not miss this rare opportunity to win over the nobility and become their own resources and connections.

The young man's strange behavior made some of the maids who were receiving him and the servants who were changing the food and utensils look at him a few more times.

But he has a natural gentlemanly temperament, as well as elegant and calm etiquette.

Dispelled the doubts of those looking at me.

Rare doesn't mean it shouldn't be here.

On the contrary, there were more than a handful of guests alone in this hall.

The maids and servants, as well as some guests who noticed the young man, naturally thought he was a solitary artist.

"Okay, we can proceed as planned."

A monotonous and gloomy male voice came from the gem earring on the young man's left ear:

"After the matter is completed, all your debts will be repaid, and we will pay your family the remaining 70% of the agreed amount, which is approximately 4,000 gold coins as compensation."

As if sensing the young man's fear and trembling, the male voice added, like the devil's whisper:

"Of course, you can choose to do nothing, wait for the party to end, and leave the stage peacefully. Well... as long as you are prepared to face the anger of the employer."

The teasing words are mixed with the rhythm of pauses.

The young man's heart was grabbed tightly and dragged to the bottom of the valley.

The thumb that had been groping for the ring gradually stopped as its owner's nervousness faded.

"I understand……"

"That's great. The child and his mother will definitely be proud that they have a responsible father and husband."

The young man did not hear the male voice's laughter. He took off his earrings and threw them casually on the wool blanket-covered floor.

Walk toward the relief railing at the edge of the second floor.

A servant passed by, quickly picked up the earring, and disappeared into the crowd.

Just as a dance is coming to an end, the guests greet each other and prepare to take a break or find a new dance partner.

A figure suddenly jumped down from the second floor, which was six meters high.

The ring in his hand flashed a soul-stirring red light.

The inscription emerged, like the gears and springs of the most sophisticated pocket watch.

Countless magic arrays and lines overlapped and intersected, then began to operate.

……

"Let all the servants and soldiers go to look for it! Don't miss any house or basement in the center! If someone is trying to stop us, tell them that this is an order from seven viscounts and an earl!"

"If you can't find it, search the city. Even if you have to turn the entire Thunder Stone upside down, you must find the princess."

"Inform the nobles present that if they still want to keep their titles, they should immediately put down their glasses and lovers' hands and send people to join the search!"

"And the city lord should know what to do. Just in case, go and remind him and tell him about our deployment. Let his soldiers take care of their own city."

Burke issued instructions to his followers, but he was distracted at the moment.

Although similar situations were somewhat anticipated, despite all the preparations, they were still unable to be prevented, which inevitably made people feel powerless.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and turned to look at Shu Xi.

He hoped that this idle noble president could play some role, even if it was just to offer some suggestions and guesses.

Disappearance is by no means some horrible, strange phenomenon.

The magic props that Her Royal Highness the Princess carried with her could not cause her to die quietly and instantly.

That is the royal family, with its huge wealth and assets accumulated since the establishment of the kingdom.

It was enough to buy a set of magical equipment for each of the princesses and princes, allowing them to survive for a short period of time under the attack of a silver-level assassin.

The golden rank was not something Burke considered.

He knew clearly that "they" who participated in or led this assassination would most likely not bet the really important cards on this.

It's not worth it.

As long as they still want to be active as chess players on the chessboard.

Without unnecessary speculation, the few remaining answers become much clearer.

magic.

Disappearance should be its own function.

At the same time, the spell does not disturb the magic item before it ends, which means it is harmless.

Space magic...

For professional matters, you should find the most professional people.

But the next second, Burke's eyes widened in shock.

Because of the figure in black robe, standing where he just stood.

At this moment, there was only a long white table covered with sumptuous food and a silver plate with grease stains.
