Chapter 83: God's Will
"A little faster than I thought, gray dwarf, and I'm happy with your efficiency."
Krisanna looked left and right, then complimented Marcus.
Although the expression on the face of the female dark elf when she said the words of praise could freeze the sweltering cavern, Marcus still felt a pang of joy in his heart.
After all, along the way, he was almost paralyzed with nervousness, and now that he has finally completed the task, he can leave.
The news of Marcus bringing the Dark Elves and her companions had already reached the Grey Dwarf leader, so the guards here stepped forward, saluted Krisanna, and led the way on their short legs.
Marcus smiled and waved at Krishanna and the others, and then slowly left backwards.
The reason why he went backwards was because Marcus was afraid that the dark elves would stab him in the heart while he turned around.
This is what the dark elves like to do the most, and in the era of attacking the surface elves, because of the distribution of loot and territory, the dark elves did not do such a thing.
However, Blue felt that such an act was really redundant, and even Makaria, the weakest in the team, would not have a hard time trying to kill the gray dwarf general.
Blue then began to look at the room in front of him, and in the dark vision similar to infrared, this room contained powerful magic items, which exuded bright colors, even through the stone wall.
Outside of the magic props is the lighting props, and the room glows with candles or oil lamps, which shine on the two lifelike statues of the Hammer Dwarves outside the room.
Underground, lighting props are very expensive, such as the underground gnomes, goblins, and cavemen who were digging the mines, and it would be wishful thinking to have a torch with a light, and only the gray dwarf overseer might have one in his hand.
Therefore, after seeing the bright light in the room, Blue and Krishanna knew that the other party should not deceive themselves, and only the ruling class among the gray dwarves were qualified to have candles or torches that were lit all year round, after all, they were the only ones who had the qualifications and rights to read.
The entertainment of the general underground dwellers was very scarce, and it was not even clear to the slaves and commoners how old they were in terms of the seasons and day and night, because there was no day or night underground, and there were no seasonal changes.
After seeing the lives of these gray dwarves, Blue was already thinking about the possibility of trading with the dark regions - since he didn't have the discipline of the order camp, so there was no psychological pressure to sell things to these evil underground residents.
And these underground residents are not without money, but they just have no channels for consumption.
To them, many of the treasures on the surface of the earth were nothing more than worthless stones in their eyes, and like the blue-scaled merfolk, they never felt that pearls, gold, or anything like that were of any use.
In the minds of the underground residents, exchanging an iron ore ingot for a candle is an acceptable deal, and if such a wronged boss is not used well, it is really a bit too embarrassing for the traverser.
The guard pushed open the door, and was greeted by a gray dwarf who looked similar to an ordinary gray dwarf, but his muscles looked much stronger, and he should be the leader of these gray dwarves.
"It is a great honor to meet you, especially this Lord Devil and the heir of the Zolverasie family, Christanna Zolverasie, I am Brock Travertine of the Baroque family." The leader of the gray dwarves nodded to the crowd, and then without waiting for them to reply, he continued to ask anxiously, "I heard that you have brought us the news of our god?" Is it true? β
At this time, Blue bypassed Krisanna and walked in front of Bullock, and then made a salute gesture and said, "Good day, Lord Bullock." And then I have to emphasize......"
Blue's face showed anger, and even the muscles on his face trembled, and he scolded like an Oscar-winning actor: "Even the leader of the gray dwarves is not qualified to doubt the second-ranked Zolverasi family in Sauron City!" You can't even doubt the future matriarch of the Zolverasi family! β
Brock Travertine was frightened by Blue and took a step back, he also knew that he had made a big mistake, and at this time, it seemed as if the dark elves' revenge on those who had offended them appeared in his mind - it could be buried in the falling earth during an ordinary outing, or suddenly suffocated while sleeping, or suddenly choked while eating......
Brock hurriedly lowered his bald head and expressed his admission and concession to Krisanna.
In the underground evil world, which cannot be judged by common sense, just a little friction is enough to make the two sides fall into a death match.
As an adult, Bullock has seen countless people lose their lives for some ridiculous reason, although he and a considerable part of the underground dwellers have never felt that "living" is a good thing, which is why they have such contempt for the lives of others and take them away at will.
But they themselves have been struggling to survive in order to "live", even at any costβfreedom, skill, and even flesh.
Of course, these so-called costs are just ordinary chips in their eyes, and they can just use them when they need them.
And the people on the surface believe that human rights are inherently sacrosanct, and that there are no wings without freedom, and other nonsense seems to them to be extremely hypocritical.
Krisanna didn't care about Bullock's apology, in her opinion, since these gray dwarves had already taken a fancy to her brother, they were also his brother's family, and the only reason she could spare the other party's rude behavior was that Blue still needed this lowly mortal.
After a moment of thought, Bullock said sincerely, "I solemnly apologize to you for my great apologies, the future mistress of the Zolverasi family. I beg your forgiveness for what I just said was the result of a neuropathy inherited from my ancestors. β
"Brock, I forgive you this time," Krishanna said, bowing slightly, "but not next time. β
"Of course, it is already a great favor for you to forgive such a stupid thing once, and even the most greedy person cannot ask for another time." Bullock straightened up again, wiping the fine sweat from his forehead.
Blue showed a sneering expression at this time, he stood up, and then directly pointed to Oriana, who had been looking down at the Book of Shadows, as if she had no interest in everything in the world, and said: "Gray dwarf, in order to save my master's time, you can personally verify your gods, that is, Lord Dulag's order to your gray dwarf, whether it is true or not, it is up to you to judge." β
Hearing Blue call herself, Oriana broke free from the ocean of knowledge and returned to the shore of the real world.
She opened her eyes, flicked her tail behind her, and then closed the book of pictures with both hands, and then placed it in front of her, and the book of shadows floated in the air.
Then she pointed to the Book of Shadows and said, "You just have to get close and look at the book." β
Blue looked sideways slightly, and he didn't know if what Oriana had prepared had any effect, if he couldn't even deceive the leader of the gray dwarves, then he could only turn back into a blue dragon and then use violent means to control these gray dwarves.
Although this can only be regarded as a last resort, there is no other way for a while.
For Blue, a male dark elf, Bullock did not pay attention to, or simply ignored it.
Although the other party seems to have a very good status and favor in front of this Krisanna, the male dark elves will always be the slaves and reproductive tools of the female dark elves.
Dark Elves, like their surface cousins, High Elves or Wood Elves, can live up to more than 700 years.
And in the life of female dark elves, there are dozens of faces if not a hundred.
Even the current head of the head of the family is only temporary.
When the mistress gets tired of playing with him or feels that he is no longer useful, she will immediately order him to return to the ranks of low-ranking warriors, and deprive him of his family name and all the rights that come with it.
Even some mistresses will not hesitate to kill this man who may still be intimate with her yesterday with the most cruel and painful means, and then sacrifice to the spider goddess Rose to obtain the goddess's pleasure and more powerful magical abilities.
That's why Bullock didn't even bother to ask Blue's name, just as he wouldn't ask every underground dwarf and goblin or caveman he captured, or what the name of the commoner in his own clan was.
The leader of the gray dwarves looked at this Tieflin with a little puzzlement, he had never seen a sorcerer, so he didn't know that the book in front of him was the sorcerer's signature tome.
However, because he has been living in an environment full of powerful magic in the dark region for many years, he should still have no problem with illusions and spells.
Rarely optimistic, the leader of the gray dwarves walked to the front of the Book of Shadows, and then looked at it impatiently, wondering if the dark elves were telling the truth, or if they were just fooling themselves into lies.
From the actions of the gray dwarf leader, Blue also saw how much the gray dwarves trusted the evil god Durag who saved their entire clan.
Or is it that the brains of these gray dwarves are too simple?
Blue quietly gave Oriana a "Can you do it?" Orianna spread her hands slightly, and replied, "I'm going to build Oriana of the Floating City, it's a waste to ask me to go out for this little thing!" βγ
A little admiring that Oriana had so much information in one small eye, Blue turned his head to look at Bullock in amazement.
The bald gray dwarf's eyes began to dim as he stared at the Book of Shadows, as if he had been hypnotized.
At this time, the cover of the Book of Shadows also changed, and a circular magic circle suddenly appeared on it, and the magic circle emitted a pure white light, although these lights were not very dazzling, but they were still brighter than the candles and oil lamps in the room. The bright light made Brock squint slightly.
Because of their excellent dark vision, the dwellers are particularly sensitive to light, even candles and torches are enough to make them feel dazzling, and if it is a flashbang-like spell, it will even blind their eyes.
Although he felt a little dazzling, Brock immediately widened his squinted eyes, even if his eyes were in tears due to irritation!
"This ...... This is the seal of our God...... Yes, yes, that's right, I can feel ......" he murmured, staring intently at the Book of Shadows.
The magic array on the cover of the Book of Shadows is mysterious and weird, and some translucent words slowly appear on it, these words don't look like dwarven language and lingua franca, Blue and Krishanna and others can't understand it, even if Blue has a lot of knowledge of ancient dragons, he has never seen these words.
And the shape of these words is constantly distorting and changing, as if to attract people's minds to it.
The blue dragon and the silver dragon immediately knew that it was the magic of these words, and Blue hurriedly pulled Macaria, who didn't know anything and was still staring at the Book of Shadows, and pulled her eyes away from the Book of Shadows.
Although it is only a simple magic effect that drains energy, it has no effect on the blue dragon and the silver dragon and the captain of the demon desire, but for Macaria, it cannot be ignored.
If left unattended, it is likely that she will have a serious illness afterwards.
It wasn't until she was pulled away that Macaria came to her senses, and she gave Blue a grateful look before quietly hiding behind him.
Fortunately, Brock looked at the words without blinking at this time, and did not notice that this was obviously not a scene of the dark elves' behavior.
Blue approached Oriana, and although he felt that Brock would never have time to pay attention to the things around him, he still controlled the volume to a level that even Krisanna would not hear, and asked, "What did he see?" β
In order to avoid being heard by Bullock's hidden methods, Blue did not dare to ask Oriona directly what he had done.
And Orianna understood this, and she replied with a smile: "Of course he saw something that we can't see, and that is probably God's will." β
Yes, even if Brock hears it, he will probably think that he understands the words that these dark elves can't understand, the words that belong to the evil god Durag!
Blue understood what Orianna meant, and he smiled weirdly - it seemed that the Book of Shadows given to Orianna by Asmodes did contain information about him disguised as the evil god Durag, otherwise Brock would not have been so convinced.
And it seems that the Lord of Hell is not angry with Blue and Orianna for impersonating him, or that in the eyes of the devil, Oriana will be happier for such deception.
