Chapter 167: The Night Clan in Transition
In the eyes of the vast majority of people in the third world, the Forest of Eternal Night is a dark area where you can't see your fingers, and it is a paradise for magical beasts that are used to living in the dark.
But if you can stay alive and keep going to the heart of the Forest of Eternal Night for about five or six hundred kilometers, you will find that a kind of firefly that glows blue will begin to appear, and this cold light will not even care about the monsters that are used to living in the dark, and the closer you get to the center, the more such fireflies will be.
Because of this, although the settlement of the Dark Night Clan is not bright, it is by no means a place where you can't see your fingers, and the brightness level is about the same as close to seven o'clock in the summer evening.
And in this dim blue light, a slender woman in real armor stood quietly next to a sculpture, her bright eyes showing experiences that did not match her youthful appearance, and from the beautiful calloused hands, it could be seen what these so-called experiences were.
However, the statue in front of her looks more story-telling than the woman, it is a double statue, a twin statue to be precise, because the two men in the statue, the two warriors have the same face.
The most glorious moment of the life of these two warriors was recorded by a skilled carver, one of whom rushed forward with a spear in his hand, and in this sculptor's soul-pouring work, even those who had not experienced the battle could see the smoke and hot blood that permeated the battlefield from his back.
And the man behind him who had the same appearance as him, holding a shield and a sword in his left hand, unswervingly followed behind his brother's back, his thick armor was torn, it was hard to imagine the injuries he had suffered just because he fought alone, he must have the mind that no matter how fierce the battle was, he must advance and retreat with his brother.
The sculpture that symbolizes the most outstanding group of twin warriors of the Night Clan in the past few hundred years should have been carefully enshrined by the clan, but at this moment, the sculpture of the younger brother has been painted with countless strange pictures, even those who do not understand the words of the Night Clan can feel a deep malice from this, which is no longer a vent of anger, but a pattern similar to a curse.
Of course, the statue of the elder brother also has some of the same curse patterns, but it is much less than that of the younger brother, as if those people drew it by hand.
Chloe sighed, looked around and found that she didn't have anything like a rag, and suddenly as if she had thought of something, she untied her precious cloak with a bit of self-deprecation, and took a few steps forward to carefully wipe the statue.
There was a heavy rolling sound of wheels coming from behind, and Chloe could guess what had been brought by the car without looking back.
"Chloeda, what are you doing, this cloak was given to you by the Queen, if someone knows that you actually took it......"
Chloe turned her head and looked at the lewd-looking elder with a sharp gaze, although that person was a veteran of the Night Clan, with quite high qualifications, but he had no merits, plus Chloe was the queen's guard, so he didn't have to sell him any face.
"Lord Dinether III, then please tell those people the truth, and those who painted these things on the double-bottomed statues, what is going on here. Also, no matter what our position is now, the two brothers Roland and Craig are famous heroes in the history of our clan, even if Craig is our enemy now, it is not something that you who only know how to hide in the rear can insult!"
When Dinethor III heard this, a trace of fierceness flashed in his vulture-like eyes: "Even if you are the queen's guard, you can't forget your position, don't forget that Craig is already in the past, and now he is the enemy of our entire Night Clan, not to mention that he kidnapped the queen's only daughter, Princess Molly, before he escaped, and now the whole clan is either looking for the secret passage where he escaped at that time, or trying to recover the princess, but you are here to wipe the statue of the traitor, what is your intention?"
Hearing these triumphant words, Chloe didn't want to talk anymore, if you say what your intentions are, then what are you trying to flatter Craig before he lost power, and after he lost power, he couldn't wait to make such a sculpture of the queen as soon as possible?
Feeling Chloe's eyes, Dinethor III instantly understood the meaning in his eyes, and there was no shame at all: "In order to let the remnants of Craig, who still exist in the Forest of Eternal Night, know who is the master of this place, a sculpture of the queen is necessary, and it is necessary to let the people understand the heroism of the queen, compared to some people who say that they are loyal to the queen, this is the expression of my loyalty......"
Chloe was about to say a few sarcastic words, but suddenly a magical communication echoed in her mind, and a team sent to hunt down Craig had returned, and it didn't look good.
Seeing Chloe turn around and leave, Dinesse III said to his subordinates with a triumphant look: "See, this is the person who has been abandoned by the times, that woman clearly knows that the queen is pursuing a policy of peace now, advocating that trade is stronger than plunder, and the status of those warriors who have been destined from the moment the queen ascended the throne is not as good as before, and that woman thinks that the queen's guards can make an exception, it's a joke!"
Chloe soon came to the place where Elder Schmidt was in charge of the barracks, and couldn't help but frown when she saw the two surviving members of the team that went out to pursue.
In the entire Night Clan, Elder Schmidt can be said to be the most proficient in life magic, and almost every warrior of the Night Clan has been taken care of by Elder Schmidt and his disciples, and his prestige is extremely high, but from another point of view, if Elder Schmidt needs to take action personally, it means that he has been extremely seriously injured.
But at this moment, in Chloe's opinion, there were no obvious external injuries on these two people, and the eyes that looked at him were evasive, coupled with the news that the magic teleportation told him before, a team of twelve people only came back, and Chloe's face couldn't help but decline.
Just as Chloe was about to say something, Elder Schmidt spoke first: "Okay, I see that the injuries of the two of you are almost better, but you still need to recuperate, you two can go down first, and I will relay the matter about Princess Jasmine." ”
When the two subordinates heard this, they were like amnesty, and they wanted to escape from Chloe's sight as soon as possible, but they didn't dare to run too fast, so they had to jump forward quickly with one foot, dragging the other foot on the ground, covering their chests with their hands, and trying their best to look like they were seriously injured, which also made Chloe's face more and more ugly, if it weren't for the face of Elder Schmidt, these two things who escaped would have been faked a long time ago!
"Elder Schmidt, why are you speaking for them, these two people obviously escaped from the battle, even if Her Majesty reformulated the law, although it is not a capital crime, but it is also a serious crime, at least a hundred lashes are indispensable. ”
Elder Schmidt hurriedly said: "Forget it, you are not unaware of the atmosphere of the whole clan now, everyone is convinced of the queen's leadership and policies, and now you can no longer find a few warriors of the Night Clan who are proud of fighting to the death on the street, one by one they all put down the long sword in their hands and picked up the abacus instead; ”
"I don't mean to dismiss the Queen's policy, but no matter how the world changes, I will never forget my duty as a warrior, and I must not be the only one who will not forget. ”
Chloe didn't plan to dwell on the topic anymore, but asked about the status of the team: "Craig was rescued by a human male and a little girl with horns in the sky?"
Elder Schmidt nodded: "At that time, only that human male was the one who shot, his strength was extremely strong, you must know that it is only two or three miles away from the Forest of Eternal Night, and the warriors of our clan also know that in this environment, they can use the power of the shadow to burst out with strong combat effectiveness, but according to the two people who came back, that human did not give them a chance to launch magic at all, and the move was fast and ruthless, and the whole battle only lasted six seconds before it ended, from this point of view, in fact, their retreat was not bad." ”
Chloe is not an unreasonable person, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but nod solemnly: "Then what about the follow-up? After that, someone should have been sent to continue the pursuit, right? Tell me the location, and I will join too!"
"No, you have more important things to do, because the chase is lost. ”
“…… I see, Elder Schmidt, you were pushed in front of me by those people. ”
Chloe instantly understood the cause and effect of the matter, since she was lost, there must be a weighty person to be responsible for reporting to Her Majesty, and this person will basically be burdened with most of the black cauldron, after all, it is Her Majesty's only daughter and biggest enemy who has been lost this time.
Originally, because Craig's remnants had been wiped out, and he himself was seriously injured, he only sent an elite team there, but now it seems that this is indeed a huge mistake.
"I'll go to the scene to investigate!"
Chloe didn't bother to pay attention to the elders' calculations, because Craig's regime had fallen, and the remnants of his party had been wiped out, and many of the Night's most resourced places and important positions had been vacant.
Seeing that Elder Schmidt couldn't convince Chloe, the side door suddenly opened, and a group of people called Elders by the clan, but who looked like piranhas, surrounded Chloe.
