Elven Tree Watcher

"Take everything, kill everyone that related to Legro family..".

Nodded at my order, Xing, Alehandro and Lucas spreads out and entered the mansion. 24 out of 30 guards were already dead, the rest were unconscious on the ground from blood loss, I could care less about them, if they live, they live, if they don't then I got nothing to lose, the whole scene needs to look as horrendous as possible. Emotions is useless at time like this, as Xing and the other's started the 'cleaning up' process, I entered the mansion as well and headed for the second floor to find a library or office of some kind.

All nobles everywhere have the same lifestyle, owning a personal library or a collections of books is a symbols of wealth. This mansion were no different from others, in fact Legro Family was known to be boasting that they were a long generations of wizards, also in the inner circle of nobles, Legro family have a knack for anything that was taboo. According to T.A.S Baron Legro recently brought a new collections of Evil Tomes, though I can't use magic, I'm kinda interested of reading stuff like that.

"Well this was surprising…for a Baron, his collections were quite good….T.A.S, Scan the whole room…".

The library/home office was located at the end of left wing of the mansion, the whole room was quite big, It took half of the left wing building itself. Tall grand bookshelf, lavish enchanted magic chandelier, expensive fur rugs. It was an amazing room.

To allowed T.A.S to scan the whole room, I record a videos of the whole room with a flash on. Though it looks like I was recording a video it was T.A.S scanning the room for any hidden entrance and any trap or special magical entrapment. I should probably tell Bar to build some tools to help with stuff like this, after I finish waving my phone around, the result came out.

[There's a hidden area behind that second bookshelf, infused small amount of mana on the book called ' Lusty Lizard woman Maid' and it should open the door…simple right?..wait, it's impossible for you, want me to call Xing or anyone for you?… ( ^_^)…]. (T.A.S)

"Is teasing me your new hobby now?….Xing, come to the library, 2nd floor left wing, now.....wow, who even put a erotic novel among the history books…what an obvious set up..".

[People that were able to read weren't that many in this world, even nobles don't have a proper educations…most of the trap that were set by the civilizations that exist in this era can't even compare to any of the previous era….that's why there's so many dungeons and historical site that were still untouched..].

The level of educations, knowledge, and technology in Fantasma seems to falls down ever since the fall of High Human and others great race civilizations. Clearly it was engineered by something, and the church seems to play some part in all this, the way they act made it look so.

I'm no hero, I don't care so much about the truths, right or wrong. I come for money, but as a man with cautious nature, knowing something is better than being clueless. I will do everything to protect my interest, but I also won't go out of my way to unnecessary put myself in a harm way. 3 minutes passed by, as I was busy filling my dimensional chest with books and everything inside the library, Xing comes in with a blood on his hands.

"Sir, you call for me?..". (Xing)

"It's Boss…what happen with your hand?..is someone inside beside us?..".

From the look on the wound it looks like an arrow shoots through his hand clean.

"Yes, Boss…An Elven Tree Watchcer….there's at least a dozen of them…..UGHHH!!..that sting every time..". (Xing)

Xing inject himself with a healing potions, the wound closed up quickly, his sweating stops and he looks directly at Mies waiting for his next order.

"Elven Tree Watcher?..what are they doing here?..All Unit, there's uninvited guest in the ground, after you done..regroup at Leku, do not fire at them unless self defense...Xing, go ahead and regroup with the team, I'm gonna come as soon as I done here..oh before that..could you pushed this book inside a little bit..infused your mana on it when you do it..".

Xing opened the secret room for me then leave to regroup with all squad member. I entered the secret chamber and loot everything inside clean, Artifacts, Books, materials, even the weird Sacrificial Altar that looks like It was made form some kind a gigantic bone in the middle of the room, I literally clean the whole room spotless, I would even take the torch if it wasn't nail to the wall. If you got an ability to do so, do it, having a conscience saying 'only take what you need' doesn't apply to me. After taking everything, I left the secret chamber and the mansion all together and slowly heading to the warehouse where Leku and the whole squad was.

As I was closing in on the warehouse, for some reasons there's a thick fog surround the whole area that seemingly only covered the area of 100 meter radius around the warehouse, I wear my night vision goggle and turned it to infra-red vision. Xing, Leku, Alehandro and Lucas was in the center of the fog, in front of the warehouse fighting barehanded with 6 people who used a swords, and as expected though they were outnumbered, they were doing just fine. In fact It looks like they were toying with them, also there's seems to be a dozen other people coming in, from outside the fog and there's one figure among the new arrival seems to noticed me, in fact right now, he was staring right at me from the other side of the fog.

"This is quite a sight…I never heard Elven Tree Watcher leave their forest and aiming at a human noble house…also why are you attacking my men Elven?..".

I know he, the elf that were observing from the other end of the fog was the leader, Elven Tree Watcher was a group of elves that have the highest fighting capacity in the eleven army, kinda like a special forces. They normally patrol the forest where they colonies was, they deter any high level threat, also rarely were seen outside their domain. According to T.A.S Eleven Tree Watcher always wearing a mithril vest underneath their clothes and have a special tattoo of a small tree on their cheek under the left eyes, and their leader always wearing an earring that were made from the branch of Ygdrasil, Mithril and Moon stone called 'The Eye of Forest'. The one who I'm standing next to was wearing the said earring, as I was suddenly appeared next to him. The Elf leader was surprised but able to composed himself.

"We were here for something human….I don't know who you or your men was, but aren't you on the same side of the Human Nobles that live in this land?..". (Elf Leader)

"...we're not, are you?..".

"No we're not…..". (Elf Leader)

"Then..could you clear up this fog, cause if you don't I don think my men can hold back from killing your men at this point….also it's getting a bit annoying…".

"....…Very well…".(Elf Leader)

The Elf Leader brought out a small snail and whispered a few ancient elven words on it, the snail suddenly suck all the fog, in just a few second the fog was completely gone. As the fog gone, all the elves that were inside the fog was clearly defeated, some was lying on the ground, some was already out cold, stuck on top of the warehouse roof also there's newly made hole on the warehouse wall.

"Boys..doing good?..".

"No problem here boss..". (Alehandro)

A bit panting and short of breath, but all my squad member sustained no injuries, only a few bruised and a few cracked bones. But all of them were still standing.

"I don't know what you were trying to do here elf..but, it's not my business nor I want to interfere….but for some reason, you and your team has attacked my team and injured them…for that I will need a compensation..take this, in 3 weeks go to Merrina town, it's a town west of here, enter the Aeternum Super Store and show this ring to the store clerk and manager…they will lead you to me…".

I found that this elves were quite interesting fellow, the fact that they got out of the forest, means that there's a business opportunity for me. Also seeing my men doing an extra works, and being attack for no reasons annoys me.

".…you have my gratitude human…but…". (Elf Leader)

"what?..you don't want to compensate me?…..of all races, I've always sees you elves as the race of honor and virtue…you attack my men for no reasons…..now, do you want me to do the same to you?..the moment I pulled out my sword, even that elder of your in that forest will die…do you want to be civil about this or not?..".

"....….I apologize, then I will see you in 3 weeks…..Sir..". (Elf Leader)

"...Good, also tell that elder of yours…if he going to continue casting an identifying spells at me..I'm gonna make him blind..it's getting kinda annoying at this point….".

I knew there's more in Elves in the forest 500 meter from where I am, and the Elder among them were constantly trying to cast identifying spells on me from the moment I stood beside the Elf Leader.

"Will do Sir…then, Have a safe travel…". (Elf Leader)

With his left hand on his right chest, the Elf leader has changed his attitude towards me. At this point I supposed he kinda get the gist of who I am, probably due to my sword, The Head Hunter was quite famous through out the history, Elven was a long lived races, they knowing about it was actually a pretty expected things.
