184 . Morgan's Diary (2)
"Master, there's something strange about this!" Bererian stood not far away and said in a loud voice, he naturally knew more than the others after studying such ethereal things as the underworld and resentful spirits for many years.
Morgan's already tattered golden clothes were torn by purple mushrooms, leaving only a fig leaf and running towards Xiu Zhe, but his speed was really unsightly, and he was not Xiu Zhe's opponent at all like those ordinary corpse thieves.
Looking at Morgan Xiuzhe, whose eyes had lost their luster and was obviously a living dead, he sighed secretly, how could the most powerful alchemist among the dark elves not feel embarrassed that he had fallen here?
The ghost hand rested on the handle of the fine snow dance knife on his waist, Xiu Zhe slashed the knife very beautifully, and with a bone-chilling sword aura, he slashed Morgan's head away, Xiu Zhe knew very well that even if he was a corpse robber, he would not be able to continue to act without a head.
Sure enough, Morgan, who had become a corpse robber, staggered two steps and fell to the ground, and the headless corpse twitched and calmed down, it was really dead and could not die again.
"Belerian, I'm going to talk to Sharan, isn't it inappropriate for you to expose her to her?" Xiu Zhe took out the magic ball from the storage bag and said as he played with it in his palm.
Belerian nodded and found a bunker to hide, Xiu Zhe smiled, when Belerian became his servant, he knew that Belerian was a wanted criminal in the Dark Elf Kingdom, and the crime was not small, if he was caught, it would be a capital crime.
The magic ball was shattered, and a light blue magic array with a shimmering light spread at Xiu Zhe's feet, and Shalan's image appeared in front of Xiu Zhe.
"How? Did you find Morgan? Shalan said straight to the point, at this time she was wearing a luxurious low-cut nightgown and the spring light was faintly visible.
Xiu Zhe nodded at Morgan's corpse not far away, and his eyes did not stay on the proud twin peaks of Shalan, although he was a man, he did not have the jade hope of a normal man, in other words, Xiu Zhe was not a vulgar and lustful person.
"That's Morgan? Was he really affected by the plague? "Sarah's face is a little unpleasant, Morgan's contribution to the Dark Elf Kingdom is fully qualified to enter the House of Elders, but this important person has become a headless male corpse.
"He has a lot of purple mushrooms on his body, similar to those corpse thieves, but not quite like them." Xiu Zhe paused and asked, "What should I do next?" Do you want me to rummage over his corpse? β
address.cc" is too dangerous. Although Shalan wanted Xiu Zhe to investigate clearly, she couldn't afford to let Xiu Zhe get infected with the virus because she was looking through the corpse.
"You don't have to worry about that, I have my own way." Xiu Zhe smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "Kazan, go and rummage through his corpse." β
Red aura floated out of Xiu Zhe's hand, condensing Kazan's huge scarlet upper body in midair.
Kazan didn't talk nonsense, floated over to Morgan's corpse, rummaged through it, retrieved a storage bag, and said, "That's all he has, no necklaces or accessories." β
Putting the storage bag on the palm of Xiu Zhe's ghost hand, Kazan's body dissipated, and Xiu Zhe's left hand directly stretched out the storage bag, looking inwardly at the contents of the storage bag in his heart.
In addition to a large number of prescriptions with different effects, there are also many precious herbs and countless potions, even the Remidios potion has more than ten bottles.
"It's rich." Xiu Zhe pursed his lips and muttered to himself in his heart, looking inwardly at the storage bag, looking at a diary, the cover made of brown paper looked a little worn out but seemed to have been deliberately placed in the middle by Morgan.
Taking out the diary, Xiu Zhe said, "This diary."
It should be important to place the storage bag close to the center, right? β
Sharan smiled and said, "You go back to the Affalia camp first, I'll wait for you there." β
The image of Sha Lan disappeared in an instant, and the magic array also turned into a point of light in the sky.
Xiu Zhe's hand touched the cover of the diary and thought about opening it for a moment, he wanted to make sure that the diary did not contain the secret recipe for the antidote to this plague.
What caught Xiu Zhe's eye was the date record:
Maya has been in the calendar for four years.
1.
At dusk, I finally arrived in my hometown of Neupera.
The faint damp mist, the smell of decay wafting in the wind, and the former noisy town was so quiet that only the distant wind could be heard at the entrance. This place is no longer what I remember.
Everywhere you look... What are strange lifeforms?
Judging by their clothing, many of them were dark elvesβmy kind, who didn't want to leave their homeland even if they had become corpse robbers, wandering quietly here.
Maybe my family is among them...
ββββββββββββββββ
2.
I'm here to find out the truth about Neupera**.
The Senate has always believed that this ** is a human conspiracy to exterminate our dark elves.
Alice, a soothsayer from the Demon Realm, also told me that the matter was related to humans.
But there are so many doubts about this matter, and the stakes are so high, that I have to come here in person, even if ...... To face the fact that my loved ones have become monsters, I also have to find out the mystery.
We dark elves are now divided into two major forces.
On one side is the reformist faction led by Queen Maya, who rules the dark elves, and under their ideas, the dark elves gradually began to communicate with other races and make progress.
On the other side are the conservatives, led by the Senate, who have controlled the fate of the Dark Elves for thousands of years and wield absolute power. But since Queen Maya ascended the throne, their position has not been as consolidated as before, and I think they should know that very well.
That's why the plague of Neupera is so angry with Sharpen and the other senators, and it's the perfect time for them to maintain their power.
Since most of the dark elves do not have a favorable opinion of humans, as long as they can achieve even a little in the war against humans, there is no doubt that the power in the hands of the senators will become more secure.
Whatever the origins of this matter, it is foreseeable that if I don't find a clue to the truth here, a senseless tragedy may occur... That would be a disaster for the Dark Elves, and I must do everything in my power to prevent this from happening.
Of course, if this is really as the soothsayer Alice said, it is all a human conspiracy... I will fight against all oddsβuntil humanity is gone.
However, before investigating, let me comb through the whole **, and maybe find some details that I didn't notice before.
The first question is, if humans are really involved in this, what is their motivation for doing so?
In fact, in recent years, the relationship between dark elves and humans has been quite good. Not only did the queen send magic messengers to human settlements to teach magic, but she also opened up trade between the two sides. Our spaceship "Magadha" often shuttles between the two countries, and there are more and more inter-ethnic exchanges
It is said that the reform of the Queen's faction has been progressing very smoothly before.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the conservative senate will want to take advantage of this ** to make humanity responsible.
Moreover, if we look at it from a different perspective, from the perspective of human beings themselves...
In fact, human beings are an ignorant race.
It is not difficult to find from the historical records of mankind that the thing they were most passionate about was the plundering of land. In order to gain the territory of the other party, they even did not hesitate to do the foolish act of slaughtering their own kind, and it is not surprising that they attacked the dark elves because of this.
But we dark elves live in the underground Dark City, and humans live on the sunny ground, so what reason is there to grab land that is far inferior to our own or even unneeded?
What's more, there is no root conflict between the dark elves and humans.
If you follow this reasoning...
Could it be Alice, a soothsayer, lying?
Only, what's in it for her? ...
ββββββββββββββββ
3.
It's been a few days since I arrived in Neupella, but I still don't have the courage to get closer to the centre of town.
Looking at these sanity-gone, walking corpses, I feel an irrepressible sense of sorrow and anger - the damn mastermind!
No... I must not act recklessly, it will be pointless to die here, I must uncover the truth of the matter, this is my missionβthe mission of thousands of people of my kind.
I can't put it off any longer, I'll have to sneak into the city tomorrow to have a look.
Alas... I should have learned stealth before.
ββββββββββββββββ
4.
Today I managed to sneak into the city.
Luckily, my three-legged cat stealth technique came in handy at critical moments.
But strangely, it seems that there are more than just corpse robbers and ghosts roaming here?
Is that..
It turned out to be.. Mankind!!
Could it be that humans really have something to do with this?!
ββββββββββββββββ
5.
All day today, I was incognito following people back and forth in the city, trying to figure out what the hell they were doing here.
From the information gathered so far, it appears that these people belong to some kind of organization, similar to some kind of religion.
You must know that for naturally cowardly human beings, religion is an indispensable spiritual support, so they have always had a particularly large number of religious organizations.
According to them, this group should be called the "Violent Raiders", and they are here to wait for a guy named Diregi.
"This is the holy place where Lord Dirigi bestows favors. He not only gives us strength, but He judges them for us. Please prepare to welcome the Absolute God, Lord Dirigi! β
I felt like I heard them say something like that. Who do "they" refer to? Diregi? ... Where have you heard of it, and what kind of relationship does he have with Neupera**?
ββββββββββββββββ
The record on the first page ended at the end of the page, Xiu Zhe stared at the three words Di Ruiji, for some reason he also had a familiar feeling of this name in his heart, it seemed... He recognized the average.
