Chapter 236 Arrival

Su Lun walked around the basement of the tavern with a candle, and there were barrels everywhere.

He went straight to the depths of the basement and found that the basement was more spacious than he had imagined, and there were other locked doors.

Su Lun opened one of the doors with a key and found that there was a cave outside. There were things like luminous stones on both sides of the cave. It seemed that people often came here.

"There is a secret passage in the basement. Something may be hidden in it." Su Lun thought to himself and walked slowly into the cave.

The cave was not very deep, and Su Lun soon reached the end.

Inside the cave was a secret room with various items around.

Su Lun walked forward. There were many weapons in this secret room. He picked up one of the swords and tried it. The weapons here were of good quality and were not something that ordinary blacksmiths could make.

He walked around the secret room. In addition to weapons, there were also some special clothes in this secret room.

He had some impression of the style of these clothes. The clothes here were similar to those worn by the dark elves at that time.

"Those dark elves have been here."

Su Lun checked everything here. In addition to the clothes, he also found a lot of things related to the dark elves.

However, he still couldn't figure out what the dark elves were doing here. The dark elves didn't leave too many traces here.

Su Lun checked carefully and turned away without finding anything useful.

This tavern has a secret room, and the dark elves have been here, so the owner of this tavern must know something.

Su Lun quietly left the basement and returned to the tavern. The tavern owner was still sleeping in the room, not knowing that someone had checked the entire tavern.

He came to the tavern owner, who slept like a pig. Even if someone was standing next to him, he didn't notice it at all.

Su Lun thought about it. His soul ability has improved a lot during this period. Now he can use this person to test it.

He stretched out his hand, and the soul power on his body continued to surge out and wrapped the tavern owner.

Soul power can affect weaker souls. Su Lun can control the dreams of the tavern owner, and can also manipulate him to a certain extent, so that he can tell about the dark elves.

Su Lun directly let the soul power invade the soul of the tavern owner. The invasion process was very slow. The tavern owner had not yet felt that he was invaded by the soul power before the invasion was successful.

The tavern owner who was sleeping suddenly opened his eyes, but his eyes were dull. He was not awakened by Su Lun, but woke up under Su Lun's control.

The tavern owner stood up, and Su Lun asked: "How much do you know about those dark elves?"

Su Lun used the confusion and control in his bloodline ability at this time. As long as the two abilities can be successfully effective, the other party will be completely under his control.

"Dark elves occasionally come to the village. They often bring a lot of expensive treasures. Villagers often trade with them." The tavern owner answered truthfully according to Su Lun's question.

Su Lun changed the question and asked: "What is the purpose of the dark elves coming here? How often do they come?"

Because he used the bloodline ability to control the other party, the other party's thinking must not be as flexible as before he was controlled. He must ask targeted questions to get useful information.

The tavern owner replied this time: "Usually the dark elves are very cold and don't talk much. Their actions are also very secretive and we don't know what they are doing specifically."

"Recently, the dark elves have frequently entered the village. They come once a month."

He explained to Su Lun expressionlessly. While Su Lun was asking questions, he was also checking the other party's soul.

People whose souls are controlled will not lie, but they may say something irrelevant for some reasons, so the information obtained must be screened.

However, judging from what the tavern owner said just now, the dark elves should come recently. Su Lun only needs to wait in the village for a while to see those dark elves.

Su Lun calculated the time when he last saw the dark elves. In a few days, it will be a month. The dark elves are likely to come in a few days.

He dealt with the traces of his visit to the tavern, then left the tavern, and took back the control of the tavern owner.

The tavern owner only felt a chill all over his body. He quickly woke up from unconsciousness. He felt a little strange when he saw himself standing by the bed.

"What am I doing?"

He didn't remember what happened to him at all, so he didn't understand the current situation.

But he didn't think about it, and immediately fell asleep again because of sleepiness.

Su Lun returned to his house to rest. Now that he knew that the dark elves would come to this village, he only needed to wait a few days.

It was still dark, so he turned around to rest.

...

A few days later, Su Lun had been living in the village. He occasionally returned to the ice field to check the situation, but nothing big had happened in the ice field recently, and even the frost giants lived very poorly.

He wandered around the village, paying attention to whether there were outsiders coming to the entrance of the village every day.

After several days of waiting, he finally waited for his target.

A team was riding towards the village. The team was wearing black clothes, which were very suitable for use at night.

And the other party was carrying various exquisite weapons.

Although Su Lun did not see the faces of these people, he could guess that these people were elves.

It wasn't long before these horsemen walked into the village, and Su Lun could see their faces clearly.

Although they wrapped themselves tightly, Su Lun began to get some secrets through various means.

These were the dark elves, and they were followed by a larger carriage.

The dark elves stopped at the door of the tavern, and the tavern owner came out to meet them.

Su Lun also took this opportunity to walk into the tavern.

There were as many people in the tavern as usual. With these people as cover, he was just an ordinary person drinking here.

Su Lun carefully observed the dark elves while drinking.

The dark elves tied up some goods, which looked like various precious wines, and they kept emitting the aroma of wine when passing by.

"These dark elves can't come here just to trade, this may just be a cover."

Su Lun narrowed his eyes, he stared at the goods being transported carefully, and soon he found some tricks.

Most of these goods were wine, but a small part was definitely not wine.

This tavern was covered with various wine smells, and it was difficult to tell whether there was anything else in the wine smell.

However, Su Lun had been strengthened and absorbed a lot of powerful genes, so his sense of smell could distinguish very slight differences.

There were some things mixed in the dark elves' cargo, which exuded a strange smell.

Although he didn't know where the smell came from, he guessed that it must be related to the dark elves in the Ice Castle.

Su Lun sat quietly on the side without moving. He just stared at the side. There were about five or six dark elves around now. It was a bit difficult to deal with five or six dark elves at the same time, so it was not the time to take action.

The dark elves were talking to the tavern owner. After they finished talking, these dark elves also joined the ranks of drinking and became a member of the tavern. Although they stayed in the tavern, they didn't talk to others, which seemed a little inferior.

The people around were not surprised by this. They seemed to have been used to the dark elves, so they didn't feel strange about these.

After drinking, these dark elves began to buy furs and other things from people in the whole village. They looked like some ordinary vendors, all of whom came to trade.

Su Lun did not expect these dark elves to be so calm that they did not immediately go to the ice field to meet up with the dark elves in the ice field castle.

However, this also gave him an opportunity. The longer the other party stayed here, the easier it would be for him to investigate his information.

Su Lun had been waiting until it was dark, and the dark elves were resting in the room provided by the tavern owner.

Su Lun hid in the street outside, and he slipped into the tavern immediately after everyone fell asleep.

Because it was the first time for the undead to enter the tavern, Su Lun easily got in, and he got the key of the tavern owner again.

Because there were dark elves around this time, he had to be more careful than before.

Su Lun observed that the goods were transported to the basement, so he entered the basement again.

He slowly came to the depths of the basement, and he found the goods he had found before.

After Su Lun made sure that there was no one around, he slowly unpacked the goods.

The things that contained these goods were wooden boxes made of wooden boards, so it was not difficult to open them.

Su Lun unpacked the goods one by one, and most of them were wine.

But after a while, Su Lun suddenly found the target he was looking for.

He came to a wooden box. This wooden box looked no different from the other wooden boxes, but the smell he had smelled before came from this box.

Su Lun slowly opened the wooden box, and the things inside stunned him.

There were a lot of skeletons in the wooden box, all kinds of them, and the smells before came from these skeletons.

"Why did the dark elves transport this kind of thing?"

Su Lun was a little strange, he didn't know what these skeletons were used for.

He picked up one of them and looked at it, and suddenly felt something was wrong, there seemed to be some power in these skeletons.

Su Lun immediately put the skeleton back, and his hand was burned by the skeleton because he took it.

He raised his hand and looked at it. It was a strange power coming from the inside of the skeleton. He had seen this power somewhere.

Su Lun thought about it, and this power was somewhat similar to the shadow world he had encountered before.

The power of the shadow world is very dark and has strong corrosiveness. If it is not handled carefully, it will bring unpredictable consequences.

Su Lun had encountered this before when he was on a mission. If he was not careful, the power of the Shadow Realm would give birth to a flash of the Shadow Realm Gate.

Su Lun's brows suddenly frowned. This was not good news.

The Dark Elves were a race related to the Shadow Realm. If the Dark Elves intended to use the Shadow Realm to do something, the entire ice field, including this village, would suffer.

Su Lun put the skeleton back and sealed the wooden box again. He only now realized that these wooden boxes were actually specially made, and the wooden boxes could prevent the leakage of the Shadow Realm power to a large extent.

After he sealed everything, he thought about it and decided that these things could not be left here. No matter what purpose the Dark Elves had in taking these things with the power of the Shadow Realm, he could not leave them here.

Su Lun took out the space crystal and directly put the wooden box in front of him into the space crystal.

After putting the things away, he continued to search in the basement and secret room of the tavern, and found that there were more similar skeletons than the one just now.

"With so many skeletons carrying the power of the Shadow Realm, are those dark elves really planning to open the Shadow Realm Gate?"

Su Lun thought to himself as he put all the things into the space crystal.

There are many types of Shadow Realm Gates, some of which are space passages, some are projections, and some are for summoning Shadow Realm creatures.

Su Lun didn't know the specific purpose of the dark elves, but it was definitely right to take all these things away.

After Su Lun confirmed that nothing was left out, he quickly left the tavern.

It is worth mentioning that the dark elves didn't send anyone to guard these things, and it was precisely because of this that Su Lun could easily take the things away.

Su Lun was already looking forward to what the dark elves would do after they found out that the things were taken away.

After leaving the tavern, he did not return to the ice field, but continued to stay in the village. He wanted to see what the dark elves would do next.

……

The next day, the village was still the same as usual, and the tavern was also the same as usual, but the faces of the dark elves were not good.

When Su Lun came to the tavern, he saw that every dark elf had a livid face. They must have known that the skeletons with the power of the shadow world had been taken away.

They didn't know who took the skeletons, nor how they took them away.

"Who was in charge of guarding last night? Why didn't we receive any news that something was lost?" The captain-like elf among the dark elves said angrily.

They were in an unmanned corner, and no one would be able to find them even if they shouted loudly.

All the dark elves looked at one of them. The dark elf who lost the items due to mistakes explained: "We have transported things so many times without any problems. There must be a reason why the things were stolen this time."

They all knew that it was meaningless to pursue responsibility now. The most important thing was to figure out the bricks as soon as possible.

"We can guarantee that there will be no creatures along the way. In the end, the only place where there may be problems is the owner of the tavern."

One of the dark elves said.

The dark elf who had an encounter also nodded, and they immediately pointed the finger at the tavern owner.

"You stay here, I will communicate with the tavern owner." The captain of the dark elves ordered, and then walked towards the tavern.

He didn't understand why the thing was lost, and was puzzled as to why they didn't encounter any trackers on the way here.
