《My Passive Skills are Invincible!》Chapter 238: Tavern Owner's Identification
Advertisement
The order was given by the royal family, so, therefore, the wait did not last long.
Soon, the tavern owner, who was still in his pajamas, rushed to the scene under the directions of the guards. When the tavern owner passed through the corridor, everyone could clearly hear that he was panting.
But when the tavern owner arrived at the scene, the panting abruptly stopped. Mike looked cynically at the owner.
The owner's face was completely drained of color.
He probably did not expect to see such a horrific scene. For ordinary people who ran small businesses in the city, the scene of the Princess's death was more gruesome than any horror story.
The owner had completely forgotten to salute the Elven Queen and the Elven Princess.
Fortunately, the Elven Queen did not care about these details at the moment. She looked at the tavern owner, pointed at Mike, and said, "Do you know this person?"
Hearing the Elven Queen's words, the tavern owner came back to his senses. He quickly looked at Mike, looked at Mike's face carefully for a while, and revealed a look of recollection.
But no matter how hard he searched his memory bank, he could not remember the face of this human man. Helplessly, the tavern owner could only shake his head and say, "I don't know him. I've never seen him before."
This time, the Elven Queen revealed a suspicious expression towards Mike. The look she gave showed very obvious signs of distrust.
"If you said that you were sleeping in the tavern's guest room, then how could the tavern owner not know you?"
However, Mike did not wait for them to ask questions and directly stared at the tavern owner.
"Think about it again!"
This sentence sounded very threatening, and the tavern owner was so frightened that his whole body trembled.

Within that time span, the tavern owner seemed to have thought of something. He was slightly stunned and then muttered, "It seems... that I have recalled an impression."
General Osmond, who was at the side, patted the back of the tavern owner and said with his eyes wide open, "You don't have to worry about his revenge. The Law of the Elf clan is your strongest backing.
"Just tell the truth."
Mike glanced at Osmond and grumbled unhappily, "Hey! Have you forgotten that you found me in the hotel room just now?"
"That's different. Now you're asking him, it's not your place to speak!"
Mike's eyes twitched and he gritted his teeth as he glared at Osmond.
"Once I'm cleared of my crime, I'll definitely have a good chat with you!"
Osmond snorted coldly. As a general, how could he be afraid of threats from others?
However, it was the first time he had seen someone who dared to threaten the Elven Queen so openly.
At this moment, the tavern owner let out a soft cry and hurriedly said, "I remember now, I have indeed seen him before!"
At this moment, everyone's gaze turned to the tavern owner.
He pointed at Mike and said very quickly, "I didn't recognize him just now because he wore a black cloak during the day and wrapped himself tightly, so I didn't recognize him at the moment.
"However, I have an impression of his voice!
"And..."
The tavern owner did not dare to say anything at this point. He looked at Mike with obvious fear in his eyes.
Osmond berated him impatiently, "And what? Quickly, say it!"
It was naturally very easy for a person who had experienced the battlefield to scare a civilian. This explosive shout made the tavern owner shiver all over and he immediately said what he was thinking.

"Moreover, he also said in my tavern... he said that he wanted to kill someone."
This time, Osmond seemed to have grasped a hold of something and approached Mike. He glared at him and said, "What else do you have to quibble about?!"
Mike shrugged indifferently and said, "Can't I just say it casually? Can such a thing be used as evidence? Is your brain filled with feces?"
"What did you say?" Osmond could not help but feel angry when he heard these extremely insulting words. He raised his fist and wanted to punch Mike in the face.
However, the Elven Queen's voice stopped him in time.
"Stop, Osmond!"
Hearing the Elven Queen's command, Osmond's body froze. Obviously, he dared not to disobey the queen. The Elven Queen looked at Osmond, then at Mike, "This is the scene of my daughter's death. I don't want to see anyone fighting here, and I don't want to hear anyone say dirty words here!"
After she spoke, she looked at Mike and said coldly, "Although you are not a citizen of our elven race, I hope you can abide by our rules."
Hearing this, Mike pursed his lips.
In fact, if Osmond had really punched him just now, the unlucky one would have been Osmond himself, but he knew that the Elven Queen had wanted to protect him, so he did not say anything.
Mike would repay anyone who had bad intentions toward him, but Mike would not repay kindness with hostility.
So, he did not further escalate the conflict with Osmond. He just nodded.
Seeing that the two of them did not continue to argue, the Elven Queen nodded and said, "This is not a suitable place to talk. After all, my daughter, she...
"I think we can investigate this matter in another place until the truth of this matter is revealed."
Osmond had also realized that he lost his composure. He bowed and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I lost my composure."
The Elven Queen nodded slightly and took the lead to walk out of the room. At the same time, she said to Ulysses Sabrina beside her, "Go and invite Nikorei."
Ulysses Sabrina was slightly stunned when she heard that, but she did not dare to raise any doubts and left the room directly.
It seemed that she had gone to ask the Elven Queen about Nikorei. Everyone in the room left one by one, this included Mike.
He watched Ulysses Sabrina leave and asked curiously, "Who is Nikorei?"
He was supposed to ask the Elven Queen, but for some reason, Osmond seemed to be very hostile to Mike and immediately took the initiative to answer, "Ha, you don't even know about Lady Nikorei!
"She is the most amazing psychic of our elven race!
"As long as you invite her over, the sins you have committed will immediately be exposed!"
Mike did not pay attention to Osmond's sarcasm. He only looked at Osmond as if he spoke like a fool. At the same time, he memorized the name Nikorei and the profession of a psychic.
Because Osmond was very vague, Mike still did not know what a psychic was, but it sounded very powerful.
The Elven Queen seemed to have sensed Mike's confusion.
Perhaps she wanted to see Mike's reaction, she took the initiative and said, "A psychic is a group of people that can see the past and the future."

Valor and Violence
Valor and Violence is a series of short stories following different, yet all equally colourful, characters set in the same world. Birth of a Legend, the first short, follows Captain Erskine Erwell, a newly promoted Captain in the Calandorian Royal Navy, charged with protecting his people from all who would do them harm. Great news for the Calandorian citizens, bad news for the Skjar reavers that ravage the shores in search of slaves. But when a small reaver fleet slips the net and escapes to the southern jungles of Marduk, Erwell must fight a war on two fronts; one against the raiders, and a far more difficult war against the hostile landscape. If he can't find allies in this strange land, he may end up being the one in need of saving. The first part of the second short story will be uploaded on Saturday, the 11th of June, following Ferez Ahud, an aspiring young battlemage charged with the unsavoury job of 'terminating' a rogue member of his college. But how this nobody of a mage became a fugitive remains a mystery, and when the answer is discovered, the tables are turned and the hunter becomes the prey. I'll be uploading chapters of more in-universe short stories each week or as close to, work permitting. Content Guidelines: course language and violence
