My name is Akatosh,

It's a mess of black.

—4E, 201, Moon of Fire, 18th, 23:44 -

"That snow elf scout is a liar! What of his words is true? Ella's voice sounded angry.

On the dark underground plains, Arthur and his party are quickly fleeing in the opposite direction of [Twilight], but because there is basically no pressure, everyone's speed is not very fast, Babas and Sophie can keep up, although Rabitt tried to jump out to find food several times, but was stopped by the little girl.

Due to the distance, the brightness of the "Black Sun" at this position is almost the same as that of ordinary ghostly jellyfish nearby, but from time to time there are still huge beetle-like "Zerus" around the ground to attack, but because their conventional attack method is spraying acid, and they do not calculate the amount of advance, it is completely impossible to hit the moving Arthur and them.

"I don't know what he said, but it's probably all fake except for the name, and the task of these scouts is to coax adventurers into the city, but they can't go deep themselves, so they must let the adventurers say his name after being tricked." Jane Rassay answered Ella's complaints.

"That's right," Arthur agreed, "the 'Delicious Blind Fish' will jump out of the water to attack, and the 'Ordinary Level' is flanked by traps, and as for these 'Zerus who can't move without being driven'?" Hey. ”

Although they are being chased, the overall atmosphere of this team is quite relaxed because they have not opened any hole cards, but in the eyes of Jane Rasai, who is only a general acquaintance with Arthur Ella and does not know their true strength, these people are probably at the end of their crossbows, so they can't get rid of those Zerus's tracking.

"Do you want to go back the way you came? I'm afraid it won't work, that scout has probably gathered a group of nearby patrols to watch your entrance to the Black Drop," the Dark Elf Archer suddenly said, "We'll have to go the other way." ”

"Oh? Wasn't the Black Descendant unified by the king he hadn't met? Is there anything else you can't control? Arthur slowed slightly.

"The overall number of snow elves is too small, even if there are so many cities on the surface, they can't all be occupied, that king just summoned the snow elves from all over the world to Twilight, and the territory he actually controls is not as big as the snow, I heard, in the northeast-" Jane Rassai looked around for a moment to determine the direction, and then raised her hand to a certain position, but the next moment she froze completely in place.

"I'm too far from home and want to go back." She said in a daze with a misty look in her eyes, then turned around to leave.

Poof, smack.

Arthur grabbed her arm, and with a soft sound similar to a burst blister, Jane Rassai's gaze returned to normal.

"It seems that the city's means of controlling adventurers are not simple, at this moment, this black girl is far away from the 'black sun', and there is no sign of magic, curse or poison on her body, it should not be controlled, strange." Septin implicitly looked Jane Rassay up and down, a little surprised.

"But if only Daddy took her hand—" Sophie, holding Rabit, interjected.

"Cut." Ella drew her bow and arrows and shot off several of Zerus, who had gathered around the group as the team had stopped slightly.

"Don't let go until it's safe to do so, Baron," Ladia raised her shield to block the next Venom spray, "Lady Jane Rasser, please tell us where we're going?" ”

"Go to the Northeast, 'Zakta'!" The dark elf was a little ashamed of his loss of control, and said quickly.

——23:46——

"It seems that they don't seem to have any intention of storming the city and turning the 'Twilight Zone' upside down." Hearn said.

High in the air, on a suspended giant mushroom, Hakong, who was dressed as a nobleman, and Hearn, who was dressed as a worker, were condescending to watch Arthur and his party gradually moving away, and from their positions, it was easy to see the pursuers gradually retreating as the adventurer team moved away, and if nothing else, the snow elf scouts and workers who still had their own jobs would give up tracking and hand over the job to real soldiers.

"After all, he is a Baron of Xue Man, and if he rushes into war, he will push Xue Man to the opposite side of this 'Twilight Zone', and when it comes to confirming that the other party has the power of a suspected demon god, this choice is quite decent." Hakong glanced at Herne, "Besides, isn't that what you want?" ”

"No matter how you suggest it, if you don't say His name, He won't notice," Hearn raised an eyebrow, "Unlike your ideal of wanting to 'change the world', I just want to 'change myself.'" ”

"Huh." Hakong didn't answer the topic, and instead looked at the city in the distance: "That guy in Vilshon, he can actually think of using the 'blood of Baal' and the 'remains of the demon god' scattered in the underground world to restore his compatriots, but unfortunately this method has serious sequelae, so he can only catch adventurers to complete the relevant work, and this time he met the 'Dragonborn', he is basically finished." ”

"Although hostile to the Dragonborn, you seem to admire them? According to your description, they are strong enough to repel 'Duneville', so is it possible to sweep away 'Zactar' and take the Elder Scrolls?" There's no need to trouble the 'Twilight Zone' again. Hearn asked.

"If that guy had joined the Dark Brotherhood or the Thieves' Guild, he might have done that, but he's part of the Brothers-in-Arms now, and, look at his companions," Hakong snorted, "If that group of people wants something and the owner asks for something to give, they'll do it without thinking, rather than picking the lock and stealing it or simply killing the owner and stealing it." ”

"So, as long as Qaleb tells the inside of the city and makes a commission, they will come back and fight the 'Twilight Zone'?" Hearn looked northeast.

"At that time, you and they enter Zakta, and I will be responsible for the complete destruction of the 'Twilight Zone,'" Hakong stared at Hearn, "We are just a union, not an alliance, don't try to make a small move, I will keep an eye on you." ”

"Of course, you're the boss." Hearn clasped his arms and sneered.

——19th, 00:00——

【Twilight】, Eltánvod Cathedral Main Entrance Square.

The "black sun" hanging high in the sky will shine here as if it were daylight, many handsome, tall, wearing delicate armor, but some abnormally pale elves come and go on the road around the cathedral, people who know each other will see it, and they will perform an elegant etiquette with each other, if the surrounding quaint and atmospheric dwarf ruins are replaced by gorgeous elven buildings, it can be called a city of elves.

"Those who accept 'adjustments' enter the square—" shouted a robed female snow elf standing outside the main entrance of the church.

As she spoke, a ground in the middle of the church square parted on either side, and a dwarven elevator rose up with five snow elves whose eyes had not yet been opened, or whose bodies were still emaciated, all with a herb bag by their side.

"Get ready, the 'adjustments' are about to begin—" the female snow elf shouted again, raising her hand to put on the hood attached to her robes.

After hearing this, the snow elves who had just risen opened the herb packets they were carrying, and quickly stuffed the broken or whole red herbs into their mouths.

The snow elves who had been hanging around also took the initiative to stay away from the church square, but some of them remained farther away to observe this side.

The one on the left, although it looked no different from other handsome snow elves, did not have that abnormally pale skin, and the armor on his body was more elaborate and ornate than the other elves, while the one on the right was an elderly male human, with gray hair, but his beard was still black, he was holding a bulky dwarven metal staff, but he was wearing a beautiful elven mage robe, which looked quite strange, but the snow elves around him all looked strange.

Boom! Seeing that the snow elves had all finished "eating" and began to tremble, the human mage slammed his staff to the ground and shouted, "'Blessing of Ali-Ai'!" ”

A golden semicircular magical enchantment suddenly appeared, completely enveloping the five snow elves, their tremors almost instantly undetectable, and after breathing a sigh of relief, they began to look around curiously.

However, this was not the end, the head of the mage's staff spewed a golden streamer towards the black sun in the sky in the next moment, and at the same time as it hit the black sun, the snow elves in the enchantment screamed silently, and kept rolling in the enchantment, and a large amount of black smoke began to escape visibly from its body.

The two celebrants turned a blind eye to this, while the snow elves watching from a distance looked empathetic, and some turned away in spite of it.

The golden magical barrier kept absorbing the black smoke, and after a few moments, it seemed to reach a tipping point, and it suddenly shrunk into the sky and merged into the "black sun".

"Ahh The snow elves stopped screaming in a daze, and began to check themselves one by one, among the five snow elves, although the appearance of four snow elves has changed slightly, their eyes are more open or their limbs have become stronger, but they are generally still the same as they were, only one of them, although they are still wearing tattered Zerus leather armor, but whether it is body size, face or eyes, they are almost exactly the same as those onlookers around.

"Yes, you're the best of the 'adjusters,'" the armor-clad celebrant stepped forward, "What's your name?" What was your previous position? ”

"Your Majesty," the snow elf did not have time to get up, so he simply crouched on the ground, "I am a scout on the outskirts of the capital, and my name is ...... 'yet'. ”

"Hehe, the one who accidentally let the adventurer get away?" The human mage narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "I see, is it because I know that I won't have a chance to go out in the future, so I put everything I have?" ”

"Yes...... Guru. Art didn't dare to look up.

"Then it's up to you to take these losers back, pack up your things and move to the 'surface' by the way." The mage didn't seem to have much interest in the struggle of a snow elf, and after a few random commands, he followed the snow elf king back to the cathedral.

"Isn't this ritual going a little too fast, Master Hindleon?"

"It's better than a time when someone completed the 'adjustment' in more than an hour."

"That's right."

As Art re-ascended the elevator and sank to the ground, he vaguely heard the two leaders talking.
