- Don't know if the robber was right in his thoughts, then the gang will leave this place after some time. And this means that we will not get to the capital of the Avels. - Thoughtfully I said, looking at the hill.
My whole plan about how to get to the capital could be forgotten. Feeling how the smell rises from the remains, I called on the darkness that devoured the remains along with the remnants of clothing.
- What if we split up? - Keirin said with interest without taking her eyes off the place where the remains once were.
Looking at the girl, she offered to split up? I saw that she wanted to help these girls. But it was better for us to kill them all and go to the capital of the avels.
If we clear the camp from the bandits, only the girls will remain in it, I will stay with them and you will go to the capital of the avels as planned. - Keirin explained, seeing that I did not understand what she meant.
Frowning, I carefully looked at Keirin, did she offer to leave her alone?
- But you will be left alone with these girls suddenly other robbers will appear? - Asked a question that bothered me.
Turning to me, I saw in her eyes the anger that was directed at the bandits in the camp.
- I'm not weak, in case you haven't noticed, and these captives better take a break from the male presence. - Keirin sighed as she explained her point.
I did not want to admit that she was right in that she is strong, but I had fears that her strength might not be enough. I did not care about the lives of these captives who were in the hands of robbers.
- Okay, but if you feel in danger, go to the city. And if you have to, drop them. Your life is more important than theirs. - Agreeing with her proposal, I could not help but say that she was. For me, Keirin was more important than unknown girls who fell into the clutches of robbers.
She wanted to argue, but apparently in my eyes she understood that it was useless and she could only agree.
- Let's wait for the night, when most of the robbers will sleep, we will attack. - I said, thinking about how best to attack the camp
* * *
There was a knock on the door, Ni'Lim, who was sleeping, but hearing knocks on the door woke up.
Rising from the bed, she looked out the window in which a new day was already dawning, Nee'Lim assumed that the knocks on the door were from the captain of the city.
And this meant that the caravan arrived in the city on the way to the door, she put on a robe provided by the tavern.
Approaching the door, she clicked the lock and opened the door looking out. There, as she thought, the captain of the city guards was standing there, fully dressed in armor; it was clear from his arm that he wanted to knock again.
- Good morning, Captain Alur, does your arrival mean that the caravan has arrived in the city? -Ni'Lim asked in a sleepy voice.
She forgot that the appearance of a dark elf has always been attractive to members of other races.
Captain Alur silently looked at her, he was not used to such a sight and was lost in his thoughts. But then, feeling something pressing on him, he came out of his reverie.
- Good morning Professor Ni'Lim, you are quite right the caravan has arrived, how long will it take you to pack up? - Confirming the thoughts of Ni'Lim, Alur asked, trying not to look at the dark elf.
Laughing, Ni'Lim paid tribute to the restraint of the captain of the guards, who did not succumb much to his base feelings for her.
- Ten minutes and I'll be ready, wait for me at the exit of the tavern Captain Alur. - She answered while considering how much time it would take her to get ready.
Hearing how much it would take a dark elf to get ready, he went down to the first floor, trying not to think about her figure.
Closing the doors, she returned to the room, thinking what to say to the stufon, forcing him to return to the academy and refuse this task.
Gathering herself and dressing in the robe of the academy, she opened the window in the room to allow fresh air to enter the room.
Feeling the pleasant sensations from the air and the voices of representatives of different races and sexes.
After watching how the inhabitants of the city walked around the city, and someone could be seen walking, turning from the window and going down.
On the ground floor, she met the captain of the city guard. Who was standing near the entrance to the tavern, the rest of the guards were most likely outside. Ni'Lim sighed and approached him.
- Are you ready Professor Ni'Lim? - Asked Alur immersed in his thoughts.
Yesterday, having returned to an empty house, he got drunk again and almost overslept the call of the outer captain of the guard who reported that the caravan had arrived.
- Yes, Captain Alur, let's go. - Confirming their willingness responded Ni'Lim.
Leaving the tavern, as yesterday, her were surrounded by city guards and they headed towards the parking lot of caravans.
Passing through the city, Ni'Lim noticed that her this city there were few who begged for alms. The sun's rays began to warm the streets, a light breeze touched the dark elf.
Approaching the caravan camp, the guards and Professor Ni'Lim noticed bloody marks and scars on some of the carriages.
As the dark elf understood, part of the merchants left the caravan as soon as they arrived in the city.
The remaining merchants scurried around the caravan from carriage to carriage, picking up their goods.
Exhausted guards of the caravan stood next to the carriages; it was clear from them that repulsing the attack of the robbers was not easy for them.
Ni'Lim, seeing the state of the guards, came to the conclusion that they were not ordinary robbers.
Hearing the noise coming from behind the armor of the guards, the guards frowned, they saw that the city guards were heading towards them.
The guards were not afraid of the attack as they were on the territory of the city and they did not have any misunderstanding with the guards.
The idea flashed through the heads of the caravan guards that the guards had come to interrogate them about the attack on the caravan.
The merchants, seeing who was coming towards them, shrugged their shoulders and continued to go about their business.
They didn't care as they arrived in the city through combat and needed to go and trade their goods as soon as possible.
Approaching a light elf who was dressed in light armor and a bow hung behind her back. After examining her, it was noticeable that several fingers were missing on one hand.
The light elf warily peered at the guards during the escort of caravans, this was the first time when the city guards came in full detachment.
- Where is the head of the caravan guard? - Asked Alur he did not have time to talk with the guard.
Squinting light elf, looked around at the man who addressed her. Glancing at him, she realized that the captain of the detachment had addressed her.
- Two carriages later he is sitting in his carriage. - The light elf answered with an annoyed voice.
Hearing where they can find the head of the caravan guard, the captain led the guards and Professor Ni'Lim in the direction indicated by the light elf.
Passing between the carriages, they heard talk about the attackers and about a strange black dome with figures that helped them defeat the attackers on the caravan.
Ni'Lim understood what figures and dome they were talking about. Trey decided not to hold back against the robbers.
Approaching the carriage, which was different from the others, Alur looked around and did not find anyone who would resemble the head of security, he knocked on the door of the carriage.
Footsteps were heard, and the door opened in front of them. There was a man in incomplete armor that covered only his heart, his blue eyes were intently examining everyone who stood in front of his carriage.
- To what do I owe so many guards at my carriage? - Asked the head of the caravan guard in a rough voice of uninvited guests.
While examining the body of the chief of security, Professor Ni'Lim noticed fresh wounds on his body. It was evident that they were just beginning to heal on his body.
- We came here to find out about the stufon who left the caravan to complete the task. Is your name Oteu? - Ny'Lim turned to him, watching his gaze shift towards her.
Grinning at the words of the dark elf, he opened the door of his carriage more and gestured for her to come inside.
Glancing at the captain of the guard, he reluctantly stepped back allowing her to pass inside the carriage. When the door closed, Alur ordered that the guards dispersed to the sides guarding the carriage.
