It was not until Mike finished speaking that these guards had finally come to their senses. Of course, in reality, it had only been a few seconds.

"Capture these two guys, they killed the Captain!"

"We can't let them go!"

"Prepare for battle, the enemy is very dangerous!"

When Timus heard what the guards said, he was completely shocked. 'Please, I didn't do anything!! Why would they arrest me too!!!' he thought to himself.

Of course, no one cared about this.

Everyone saw Timus and Mike as accomplices, even Timus and Mike themselves thought so.

Timus had no choice but to take out his weapon — Sword of Meredith. "Sigh, it's so troublesome, why do I have to encounter such a thing?" Timus had a depressed look on his face as he steadied his stance against the guards in front of him.

Mike, on the other hand, smiled slightly and said, "Isn't this very interesting?" As Mike spoke, one of the guards had already raised the long sword in their hand and slashed at Mike.

However, before the long sword could hit Mike, his body fell on to the ground like a corpse. His neck suddenly cracked and a large amount of blood gushed out. Then, the corpse on the ground turned from one to two.

From the beginning till the end, Mike did not seem to have made any movements. He only communicated with Timus. "Look, clearly, we didn't do anything, but these guards suddenly rushed over and attacked us, and then suddenly died. Such an interesting thing, can this occur in other places too?"

"The elves are really interesting." As Mike spoke, he smiled at the guards in front of him. His smile was full of mockery. Just as Mike had said, they had indeed 'done nothing'. 

Even if Mike had really done something, these guards did not have any evidence.

But they had taken the initiative to attack, and all of them had died on their own. The expressions of the guards became very ugly. Everyone was very clear that whether it was the captain who died or the comrade who died just now, it must have been this cloaked guy in front of them who killed them.

However, they also understood one thing.

This guy in front of them seemed to be very powerful. He was simply not a match for them.

"Stop pretending to be innocent! You said you were going to kill us all!" One of the young guards nervously shouted.

Mike spread his hands and asked, "When did I say I was going to kill you all?"

"You said that if we were still alive, you would let us pay for the cleaning fee," the young Elf Guard answered quickly.

"Yes, I did say that, but when did I say that I would kill you?"

"In fact, I only saw your captain's neck suddenly spurting blood and falling to the ground. One of your guards also suddenly attacked and fell to the ground.

"As for me, I'm just an ordinarily weak, pitiful, and helpless traveler.

"We passed by here and just wanted to come to the tavern for a drink, but we were attacked and interrogated by them.

"Is this the way you elves do things? The elves are too terrifying and barbaric."

Mike put on a frightened look and raised his hands high.

The guards' expressions became even uglier.

Weak and helpless???

Ordinary Travelers????

This was the biggest lie in the world!

How could an ordinary traveler be so calm when questioned by the guards?

How could a weak and helpless person not react when attacked?

He was lying!

He was definitely lying! !

However, Mike pretended that he could not tell what they were thinking. He slowly walked away from the table and said, "Please move aside, we're leaving. Or do you intend on continuing your unreasonable behavior?"

All the guards subconsciously took a step back. Their eyes revealed fear.

Mike smiled and walked straight towards the entrance of the tavern, although there were a few guards who stood guard in the middle of the road, when Mike approached, the guards were so afraid that they took the initiative to give way.

The people in the tavern had already hidden in a very far corner and were now looking at the guards with disappointment.

If the guards retreated, could this city still be safe?

At this moment, Mike had already passed through the guards. Timus also reacted and quickly followed Mike's footsteps.

However, just as they were about to walk out of the gate, a shout came from behind them. "Stop, you can't leave!" Mike stopped and turned his head.

It was the young elven guard from before.

He was holding a long spear in his hand, and both of his hands trembled. He was so nervous that his hat had become a little crooked, it made him look very funny, but at this moment, his expression was extremely serious.

"You can't leave. I suspect that you've killed two guards belonging to the Ancient City of Life.

"Even if I don't have any evidence, according to the elven law, you must cooperate with my work and follow us back to investigate!"

Perhaps because he was too nervous and afraid, the young elven guard raised his voice a few times. It sounded as though he was trying to boost his courage.

Mike looked at the young guard calmly. After a long while, he suddenly said, "Young man, aren't you afraid of Death?"

The guard trembled, and then said loudly, "I am a guard of the Ancient City of Life. My duty is to use my life to defend the law of the elven race and to protect the safety of civilians!"

Despite his righteous words, everyone could feel that his tone was trembling.

When Mike heard this answer, he nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Young guard, what's your name?" The guard clearly did not expect Mike to ask this question and was momentarily unable to react.

Timus looked at Mike. He could see a hint of appreciation in Mike's eyes. Then, he turned his head and said to the guard, "What are you waiting for? My master is asking you a question."

"My, my name is Jess!" The young elf named Jess answered subconsciously. He himself did not know why he had to answer the questions of these criminal suspects, but his body instinctively made him do so.

Then, he seemed to remember something and shouted again, "Now is not the time for you to ask questions. I have to bring you back for questioning!"

As he said that, he did not know where his courage came from, but he actually walked towards Mike. Even though every step he took seemed to be very difficult, his footsteps did not stop, not until Jess safely walked in front of Mike, the elves in the tavern became nervous.

Everyone thought that the young guard was going to die, but an unexpected scene appeared.

Mike very cooperatively raised his hands and said, "Okay, I'm willing to cooperate with your work, I'm willing to accept your investigation."

At this moment, the entire tavern became silent.
