Dota: Becoming a God Starting with Dragon Knight

Seeing the three elves disappear into the residential building, Li Ming did not follow them in.

Who knows if there are any detection methods inside? If I get caught, wouldn't I just be easy prey?

Let's scout this out first, then call Lina over later. If all else fails, we'll have Fenrir send a few elves over.

The lowest-ranking elves in the patrol team are all fourth-tier masters, so they aren't afraid of any traps here.

He squatted outside the apartment building and observed for a while, discovering that many different ethnic groups lived together in the building in a strange way.

It was nighttime, and there were fewer people around, but he had already seen elves, centaurs, humans, goblins, goblins, fairies...

The races that exist in the Elf Forest are here, and there are also quite a few races that don't exist in the Elf Forest.

"That's strange. Generally speaking, people of different races only live together with people of their own race."

This discovery made him even more certain that something was wrong.

After a while, finding nothing else suspicious, Li Ming decided to leave.

"Da da~"

"Da da~"

A series of light footsteps came from behind him, approaching from a distance.

The newcomer was an elven woman, with the slender figure and beautiful face typical of elven women, looking no different from the other elves who entered the residential building.

Li Ming glanced at her twice, then turned and walked back, preparing to leave.

"Big sister!" A familiar, rough voice called out.

He immediately turned around and looked at the residential building, only to find that the three elves who had been following him had come out to greet the female elf.

"There's a big fish!!!"

He immediately stopped and approached the four people discreetly.

"You three, did you fail in your mission? Why are you so eager to greet me?"

"Hehehe~~~" The three elves pretended to be stupid, but under the female elf's questioning, they had no choice but to tell her what had happened.

The female elf was furious upon hearing this and berated her, "You three are useless! I told you before that this mission could not be lost, but you still lost the goods because you tried to save a little money."

"And then they actually followed them afterward?"

"Don't you guys think about it? How could a second-tier human possibly go to the Elf Forest alone? He must have had high-tier companions. It's a good thing you lost him. If something had really happened to him, it might have caused me a lot of trouble."

"Now, all of you go to the East Market and keep watch. If any Dragonborn sells fresh materials, buy them immediately, no matter the price!!"

"Don't let a small thing cause you to lose the big picture!!"

The three elves meekly agreed and trotted off to the East Market.

The female elf stood in front of the residential building, glaring angrily at the three of them. Even after the three elves disappeared into the darkness, she remained standing downstairs, lost in thought.

Li Ming looked at her under the light and felt she looked more and more familiar. He felt like he had seen her somewhere before, but he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

"I'm probably mistaken, or I've seen a similar-looking elf on the main street of the royal court."

He felt he had some face blindness when it came to elves, because he thought they were all beautiful, except for a few elves like Lina's mother, Isadora Morningstar; he thought the other female elves all looked pretty much the same.

After a while, the female elf silently walked into the residential building.

Li Ming also left the residential building and returned to his hotel, where he met Lina, who had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Why did you take so long? Did you discover the cult members?"

"No, but I've noticed something strange."

Li Ming recounted his discovery of the four strange elves and the peculiar residential building, which indeed piqued Lina's interest.

"Buying fresh dragon scales? They can't buy them and they're even following you?"

"Could it be for a sacrifice?"

"There are mixed-use residential buildings? That's strange! I've lived in the Elf Forest for many years, how come I didn't know about mixed-use buildings?"

The two checked the information they found in the two markets and discovered that, apart from themselves, everyone else who had been coming and going between the two markets recently was normal.

The most special ones were the four elves that Li Ming encountered.

So the next day, the two went to the market to inquire about the four of them.

"You mean the Deer brothers? They run a shop in West Market."

"They're old-timers, quite well-known in Longxi Town."

"See that shop? That's the shop owned by the three brothers."

"The store wasn't open today; they're probably out picking up packages."

......

The two stood in front of a closed shop called Red Leaf Shop in the West Market, recalling the information they had obtained from the Dragonborn administrators of the West Market.

Li Ming wondered if he had the wrong person: "It doesn't sound like there's a big problem."

As well-known scalpers, it seemed only natural for the three elf brothers to buy popular goods at low prices in the East Market. Even if they were to follow him in the end, it was probably just to ask him to buy the items.

"How about we go to the East Market and take another look? They should still be there by now."

"Okay, let's go!"

However, just as the two turned to leave, the door of the red maple shop opened.

"Hello, two guests, would you like to come in and have a look? We have the most complete selection of goods in the entire market."

A familiar, sweet voice came from inside the store.

Li Ming turned around and saw the female elf who had made the three brothers obedient last night.

However, she had changed out of her casual clothes from last night and put on a uniform, which changed her demeanor drastically. If Li Ming hadn't observed her carefully last night, he probably wouldn't have recognized her.

Upon hearing her familiar, deliberately lowered, sweet voice again, her inviting gesture overlapped with the figure of a teller at the foreign trade center.

He hesitated for a moment, but after seeing the same surprised look in the female elf's eyes, he asked directly, "I think I've seen you before! Weren't you a clerk at the foreign trade center?"

"Boss, you have a good memory. My name is Aria Red Leaf. I do work at the Foreign Trade Center. I'm on vacation for the past few days, so I came to help my good-for-nothing brothers out at the shop."

"Is this your brother's shop?"

"Yes, they buy and sell things here, and they're doing pretty well. Want to come in and take a look?"

Li Ming and Lina exchanged a glance, seeing approval in each other's eyes. "Since we're already here, let's take a look!"

Welcome!

Led by Arya, the two carefully toured the store and saw all the items it sold.

The things sold here are a mixed bag, including dragon-related herbs and ores, as well as specialties from other races. They all look quite appealing, so they must have been collected by those three elves.

After looking at it, Li Ming shook his head regretfully: "It looks alright, but it doesn't have what we need." He then made a move to leave.

Arya immediately urged, "We also accept orders here. As long as it's sold in Dragonbreath Town, we'll try our best to buy it for you."

Li Ming tentatively asked, "Do you have fresh dragon blood and dragon scales?"

"Oh? You want some too?"

"What? There are other people collecting them?"
