This situation happened very suddenly, and Mike did not react immediately.

In fact, he did not need to be prepared, because his main weapon was the Umbrella of Meredith.

Any physical or magic attacks were ineffective against Mike.

Special attacks were very rare, and they almost never appear in the early and middle stages of the new region. Even if they did, it would be difficult to kill Mike, who had Strong Physique.

If the target of this sword was Mike, it would be considered a good development.

Because Mike was not worried about any attacks at all.

Though, the target of this sword was actually Lilia!

The long sword stabbed at Lilia quickly without any hesitation.

Lilia was not as weak as her appearance, and she had a certain level of combat strength.

She immediately dodged to the side to avoid the attack.

The long sword only cut her sleeve, and then it was immediately pulled back.

The next attack came again.

This time, Lilia did not wait to die.

She directly went out of the window on the side of the carriage.

Mike did the same thing, holding Stone that was screaming in the carriage with one hand, and went out of the window on the other side.

Although this was a forest, Mike's field of vision became wider after leaving the carriage.

Without the curtain at the entrance of the carriage, Mike could clearly see the face of the assassin.

It was the coachman just now!

It was very rare for an NPC to take the initiative to attack another NPC. Mike frowned slightly and had no intention of intervening for the time being.

If Lilia could be killed, Mike might take action in order to continue the mission.

However, that was the last resort.

Now, Mike was more inclined to let Lilia take care of it herself.

After all, Lilia did not promise to pay for helping in the battle. An Elf NPC whom Mike had only known for less than half an hour was not worth Mike's initiative to help.

Lilia seemed to have seen through Mike's attitude. She did not expect Mike to help her. Instead, she raised her left hand directly.

In the next moment, a green light seemed to be drawn out from the surrounding environment and condensed in Lilia's left hand.

A green bow and arrow appeared in her hand.

"A high-level Elf archer?" Mike crossed his arms and stood where he was, showing an interested look.

Elves were indeed good at archery and natural magic.

However, to be able to draw the power of nature from the surrounding environment to form a bow and arrow like this required a higher level of strength.

From this, it could be seen that Lilia's strength was not bad. At least she should be able to deal with a small assassin.

Lilia did not say anything. Instead, she pulled the green bow in her hand and began to counterattack.

When she drew the longbow, a green beam of light appeared on the bow.

It was obvious that this was a magic arrow.

Lilia's shooting movements were very smooth.

The moment she drew the bow, the green magic arrow was formed. After the magic arrow was formed, she immediately released the bowstring.

There was no hesitation throughout her set of movements. From this, it could be seen that Lilia definitely had a long-term relationship with shooting.

The magic arrow accurately shot at the coachman who was standing in the front seat of the carriage.

The arrow was extremely fast, almost like lightning.

The coachman's eyes instantly widened, and his entire body tensed up like a cheetah as he pounced to the side.

Even so, the arrow still grazed his arm.

Red blood continued to seep out from the wound.

The coachman's expression was already very ugly.

He was the one who launched the sneak attack earlier, but he did not manage to hurt Lilia. Instead, he only managed to cut through Lilia's sleeve.

Moreover, now, he had been successfully counterattacked by his target, and he had even sustained injuries.

If this continued, the situation would become very bad.

Lilia did not immediately launch the next round of attack. Now that she had the upper hand, she had more choices.

She narrowed her eyes and stared coldly at the coachman.

"Who sent you? Is It Elvi?"

This was an unfamiliar name. After hearing the information, Mike glanced at Lilia but asked nothing.

Obviously, the task that the Elven lady had entrusted to him seemed a little complicated. It might have something to do with some forces.

However, Mike was not too bothered about it. He still chose to watch from the sidelines.

The coachman did not answer. Instead, he raised his left hand to his mouth and whistled.

Soon, there were some rustling sounds coming from the surrounding forest.

Many figures gradually appeared from the forest. As the footsteps approached, a group of Dwarfs with ferocious smiles surrounded them.

At this moment, Stone pointed at a man with heavy arms and exclaimed, "What's going on?"

"Isn't that the kind-hearted boss?"

Mike looked in the direction that Stone was pointing at and frowned slightly.

The Dwarf with a long beard was indeed the owner of the tavern. How did he appear here?

An NPC who owned a tavern in the main city of Dwarfs actually had the side job of an assassin. This was simply unimaginable.

The Dwarf tavern owner also noticed Stone, and there was a hint of surprise on his face.

After hesitating for a moment, the tavern owner said to Stone,

"Little guy, this matter has nothing to do with you. If possible, I hope that you will not interfere in this matter and forget what you have seen.

"If you are willing to cooperate with me, I welcome you to visit my tavern again at any time. I will still treat you to a drink."

Hearing this, before Mike and Stone could react, the Dwarf next to the tavern owner spoke first.

"Hey, Old John, what do you mean by this? Have you gone soft?"

"Don't forget, rules can not be broken!"

The tavern owner opened his mouth but did not speak.

The atmosphere once again became heavy.

Mike's gaze moved back and forth between the tavern owner and the Dwarf next to him.

From their conversation just now, Mike could tell that these people probably belonged to an underground organization.

Moreover, the reason why they had yet to be exposed until now was probably very simple — all witnessed were killed.

If that was the case, then this matter was not just about Lilia.

Because these people's target might include Mike.

However, he had to make sure before he made his move.

"Hey, guys." Mike smiled and took two steps forward. "Are you trying to... hurt me?"

Hearing this, the Dwarf next to John, the tavern owner, immediately grinned and said,

"I advise you not to ask too many questions and be obedient."

Although this answer was not very clear, Mike smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

Because Mike felt the need to make a move.
