"Sorry to disturb the two guests. The Lord Guard said that he saw someone enter your room."
A guard pushed the elf attendant aside and walked up to look at Joelson.
Joelson nodded lightly and said, "Yes, someone did enter."
"You!"
Elin hid in the corner of the room and was so angry that she almost screamed. However, she suddenly realized that she could not make any sound.
"Where is that person now?"
The guard's expression instantly became anxious and nervous.
Joelson pointed at the window of his room, shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. When we came in, she just ran away and broke the window."
The guards all rushed in and searched every corner of the room.
Elin covered her mouth tightly, scared to death.
But she found that the guards seemed to be blind. She was right in front of them, but they could not see her at all.
"That person did come."
The head guard only frowned and stared at the broken window a few times. He said anxiously, "Go after her! Don't let her escape."
A group of guards wearing armor and long swords quickly walked out again.
"I'm sorry."
The elven attendant apologized to the two of them, closed the door, and left.
Joelson turned to look at Elin. With a slight movement of his fingers, Elin's figure was once again exposed in the air.
Being able to speak again, Elin cried out anxiously, "You're also an air magician?!"
Her beautiful eyes widened as she looked at Joelson in surprise.

Elin knew about it because she was hiding in the room using the magic item she was wearing. The invisibility cloak also had an invisibility spell attached to it.
However, her strength was too weak. Under the powerful spiritual power of Joelson and Frederick, she was easily discovered.
"I didn't expect you to be a wanted criminal of the Empire."
Joelson glanced at her and said with a smile.
Elin said stubbornly, "So what? Aren't the two of you also necromancers? If you are discovered, your end will be even more miserable than mine!"
Joelson laughed and said, "That's why I said that refining you into a skeleton is the safest decision."
Elin's face was pale as she stepped back. She waved her hand and said, "Don't! If you don't betray me, I won't betray you!"
Joelson shook his head and said, "I'm still worried."
Elin's eyes showed hesitation and struggle. She gritted her teeth.
Suddenly, a huge pile of things poured out of thin air.
High-level magic beast essence crystals, a large number of magic crystal coins, magic gems, and many strange and strange magic tools.
Joelson and Frederick were both stunned, and they looked at each other.
Elin said with a heartache, "I stole these from the palace. You can pick any of them, and it will be your hush money."
Joelson had a strange look on his face. Now he finally knew why Elin was being chased by the imperial guards. It turned out that she was a female thief.
It was very impressive to be able to steal things in the Imperial Palace of the Inmotati Empire.
Joelson looked at the things on the ground and said after a moment of consideration, "Before we leave the Imperial City, you should follow us first."
He wanted to make sure that Elin would not reveal Frederick's identity as a necromancer. Otherwise, it would attract a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Elin wanted to speak, but Joelson's words stopped her.

Elin clenched her teeth and waited for Joelson. She stomped her feet and nodded helplessly. "Okay."
Joelson did not bother with her anymore. He discussed with Frederick how to show his strength and attract the attention of the empire. Instead, he smoothly used the magic teleportation array.
"Challenges are the simplest and most direct way. Master, just find a few famous experts from the Imperial City and defeat them. You'll naturally gain a lot of fame," Frederick suggested.
Joelson felt that it was possible.
"Any good candidates?"
Frederick said in a deep voice, "I just heard that the eldest disciple of the saint-level knight, the Lion Grand Swordmaster, Dewitt, is a ninth-level knight. Many people think that he will be able to advance to the saint-level before the age of thirty. His fame and strength are more suitable."
Just as Joelson was about to speak, a voice suddenly came over.
"Who is Dewitt? Didn't a more suitable candidate come today? Beat up the silver hand of the Church of Light. I swear, not to mention the magic array, even his majesty, the Emperor, would be willing to marry his daughter to you."
Elin's eyes were shining as she waved her fists, looking particularly excited.
Silver hand Pryce?!
Joelson seemed to be thinking.
Frederick carefully suggested, "Master, what she said is right. The silver hand is indeed the best step."
Joelson nodded slightly and said, "We can consider it."
"Pfft!"
Elin suddenly laughed out loud, pointing at Joelson and Frederick, she said, "Don't tell me you really want to challenge Pryce? "Hahaha, do you know how strong he is?"? "It is said that Pryce once defeated the siege of five rank 9 templars. Even Dewitt might not be his match."
Elin looked at Joelson with a mocking gaze and said with a smile, "Are you sure you can defeat Dewitt?"
Joelson's face was cold.
Elin was shocked and subconsciously covered her chest. She took a few steps back and said in a panic, "What do you want? I'm telling the truth."
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Joelson waved his hand.
"You talk too much nonsense."
"mmm."
Elin could not speak again. This time, she could not even move. It was as if she was bound by an invisible rope. Her face was full of anger as she struggled.
The next day.
Joelson strolled along Violet Avenue. Frederick was a few steps behind him, and then Elin, who had a dissatisfied look on her face.
The latter rolled her eyes at Joelson's back, saying something in a low voice.
"Bad guy!"
"Arrogant!"
"Rubbish magician!"
Joelson could not be bothered to argue with her. They were heading towards the Lion Grand Swordmaster's mansion, where Dewitt lived.
"Every year, there are many adventurers who come to challenge the lion grand swordmaster, but most of the challenges are accepted by Dewitt. He has defeated many experts of the younger generation, and his fame has only been built up in recent years."
The Lion Grand Swordmaster seemed to see this as a form of training for Dewitt, so if his master came to challenge him, he would definitely accept it.
Frederick whispered in Joelson's ear.
Joelson's expression was calm as if he did not care about this challenge at all.
Clang!
A magnificent sound echoed in the sky above the immortal city.
Joelson raised his head.
Everyone on the street stopped in their tracks and looked in the same direction.
"It's the chimes of the Empire Square."
Elin whispered, "What happened?!"
Joelson saw the pedestrians and carriages begin to change directions, all rushing towards the center of the capital.
