Greenwood City is a large city in the southwestern part of the kingdom.
Although the Chinese controlled Alano and Alvita, for the Green Forest City, after all, they did not reach the point where the soldiers were in the city, and even the Duke ’s Palace did not conclude that the Chinese wanted to occupy the place or attack Green Forest City.
However, no matter how the Chinese act, Green Forest City cannot take the initiative. Due to a series of defeats in the town of Alano, no one of the vassals under the Duke of Greenwood was willing to fight the Chinese.
It usually takes at least four days for the army to travel from Arvita, so many people feel that there is still time. Except for a few who chose to take refuge, most of them chose to stay and wait and see.
Greenwood City is close to the Elven Kingdom. It is the most important trading city of the Iberian Kingdom and the Elven Kingdom. A large number of goods from the Elven Kingdom pass through here and spread to various areas of the Kingdom. Therefore, a small number of elves and more half-elves live in this city. Most of them gathered in the west of the city, forming a community of elves and half-elves. The architectural style here is simple, with a lot of spirits of elves, and it is very different from the style of houses in other areas of the Green Forest City.
Although Parsa, the Duke of Greenwood City, was a greedy, rude and simple person, his attitude towards the elves was very good. Because he knew that if he offended these elves, he would lose the source of wealth for the entire Greenwood City, which would make his city in trouble. So the elf community is mostly autonomous, quite isolated from the rest of the city.
However, the elves are not too opposed to humans living in this community. In most cases, they can live in peace with the human residents here. So this state is valued by some humans, and they chose to live in this area to avoid a lot of inquiries and troubles.
Recently, due to the tense situation, many elf warriors and wizards have appeared in the elf community. Most of them have the status of inspectors. Come to protect the elf residents in the community and lead them to evacuate when necessary.
According to the information, Julio now lives in this elf community.
Two days after talking with Luo Ling, Akle, Anal, and Glad dressed as merchants mixed into Greenwood City. There was basically no difficulty entering the city. All three of Aklei put on the clothes of local merchants and walked in the market of Greenwood City. It was not conspicuous. They found a house with a single door and a two-story house based on intelligence. It should be where Julio lives.
"Julio was originally a knightly servant of Hulieta, the son of the Duke of Greenwood. It should be in the Duke's Palace. Moving here, the Duke of Greenwood may still be protecting him." Glad was across the street Looked at the house far away and said.
"Palsa Solanas, Duke of Greenwood City, has always been an ambitious person. As long as possible, he will not give up the opportunity to get back to the town of Alano, he will naturally hide Julio." Ah Clay said.
"Let's go. This is nothing to see," Anal said.
The three crossed the street to the door of the house and found that the courtyard door was not locked.
Akle walked inside first, but after entering the door, he found that the yard was empty, and he listened carefully, and found no movement in the yard.
"No one?" Akle asked doubtfully.
Not only was there no one in the yard, but there were no horses either. The stable on the side of the yard was empty, and the horse dung that had not been cleaned fell to the ground.

Anal's eyes swept across the windowsills, and the room seemed silent. She said: "Open the door. If I guess right, there is no one in it."
Glad walked up to the door and stepped up. The door of the house was a wood-clad iron-edge door. He focused his attention on the door lock, and his mental power penetrated into the lock like mercury.
After more than a year of cultivation and experience, he has already stepped up to the steps of a high-level mage. The structure of the door lock is extremely simple in front of his spiritual strength. A few seconds later, with a click, the lock was broken.
The three of them walked into the house. Glad turned back and closed the door, and the room looked like a person going empty.
At the entrance, there are many back and forth footprints, it seems that many people have repeatedly traveled between the room and the yard.
Aclay walked into the restaurant along the footprints and saw a lot of leftover food on the table: there were unfinished bread, vegetable soup and bacon, and a spilled wine glass, and the liquid inside dripped all the way from the table Go downstairs and be stamped with footprints everywhere.
Judging from where the food was put down, these people were eating halfway through, and were interrupted by something and left the table.
Akle judged according to the dryness of the residual wine in the glass and the degree of deterioration of the food: "These foods should have been left last night. Did the people of the shadow group come here? Take them all away?" "
"Impossible. You are over-concerned. There are no signs of fighting. There are eight plates on the table, indicating that there are eight people eating together at the same time. Even if there are no particularly powerful masters, they cannot be attacked. After that, no one rebelled. "Anal looked around and said," I guess the people here hurriedly got the evacuation instructions, and left the house too late. "
"Yes. It's because I didn't think about it." Aklesson said in a sigh of relief.
"You are just a little too worried about your brother." Anal comforted.
"As it is said, the person who came to inform them should have a high status? Otherwise, it wouldn't be so busy." Glad analyzed. "If they left here at the supper yesterday, it's more than ten hours away now. We To catch up with them, we must seize the time. "
Akle thought for a while and said, "Let's go to see if there is anything valuable left in the room. Then go around and ask if people nearby see where these people went."
Several people turned their heads around the room, and there was nothing new to find, so they prepared to go around and look for clues.
But just when they were leaving the house, the door lock turned on its own.
Akle gave the other two eyes. The three of them stepped back lightly, and they each took out their weapons, while looking for cover to hide.
As soon as the door opened, ten people walked in from the outside, all of whom were wearing ordinary clothes of various locals. But with all kinds of weapons in their hands, they formed a tight and complete formation. The first person was holding a long knife, although this time he was not wearing a black coat. But Barclays recognized his identity at a glance from his figure: the black arrow.
