Volume 6: Turmoil (Remastered) Chapter 40: Shadow Turmoil (1)
To the north of Mosso-Black is the area known as Tyr Bricht, and the huge stalactites that run through the entire cavern cast huge shadows under the flame reflection of the Nabondel Pillar, almost spreading for thousands of meters, and occasionally the appearance of spiders can be seen moving, which is the shadow spider guard of the spider goddess Rose patrolling the spider temple built on the stalactites.
Unlike ordinary dark elf nobles, the Kidal family did not choose the southern Mushroom Jungle, but chose to build the family's main house next to the stalactite, where they have multiplied for thousands of years.
Due to its location, the light of the Nabondel Hour Pillar was obscured by stalactites, leaving the house in constant darkness, with only a few torches in the courtyard that looked crumbling barely enough to provide basic lighting needs.
This environment was a favorite of the Assassins, but since the Kidal family settled here, no Assassin has been able to successfully stab a dagger into the body of a target in this mansion, because the Kidal family is the most proficient assassin in the entire Dark Elves, and since the Dark Elves have written records, the vast majority of the best Drow Assassins have come from this family.
Emory Kidal, the head mother of the Kidal family, hid her body under a wide gray robe, revealing only two white and delicate long legs, and leaned on the low table at hand: "So, you don't know who did these things? β
"The perpetrator's methods are very sophisticated, one blow is fatal, and he also deliberately treats the wound destructively, and there is no way to determine what weapon caused it." Dressed in leather shorts and a leather blouse that barely covered half of her chest, Elifrey Kidal replied that as the eldest daughter of Emory Kidal's matriarch, she had been trained in the manner of the Assassins since she was a child, and had not followed the customs of the Dark Elves, and had been exchanged for other families.
Emory stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows: "Although the dead drow elves are all those male drows who have been abandoned, they are not easy for anyone to kill, not to mention, a full twenty-two died in three days, if it weren't for the fact that I knew very well that we didn't do it, I'm afraid I would have to wonder if it was your order." β
"Do you want to keep tracking?" Ellie Fury asked.
"What do you see?"
Elifrey shook her head: "Although I don't want to admit it, the perpetrator is obviously very familiar with the methods of our drow elves, and many of the assassination processes are almost exactly the same as the assassins we have cultivated, even if we continue to track them down, I am afraid it will be difficult to catch the other party." What's more, in the current situation, it doesn't matter who the real prisoner is. β
"You're right!" Emory stood up, "Angest's slut seized this and killed it at the hands of our Kidal family, and now there are many slaves who have rioted because of the indiscriminate killing of those fools, and if you want to suppress it, I'm afraid you will have to use the regular army, I'm afraid that slut wants to seize this opportunity and preemptively attack us!" β
"The grudge between us and the Dere family has long been unable to suppress it anymore, the last time the Ban Rui family failed, Angest's slut wanted to take the opportunity to attack us, and she was patient if she could endure it until now."
Emory nodded, because Elifrey was right, since the Kidal family took advantage of the sudden death of the Drey family's matriarch and internal division thousands of years ago to wrest control of the Night Blade Legion from the Drey family, the two families have become mortal enemies.
"Hmph, in that case, I don't want to wait any longer!" Emory said, "Ellie Fury, secretly gather the family guards, and let Nador take the Night Blade to suppress those slaves!" β
"With only five hundred family guards, I'm afraid it's not enough to suppress the Dire family, Master Mother!"
"I know! Rest assured. The former expelled Koman has signed a spider pact with me, and in the witness of the spider goddess Rose, Elvia Koman will help us destroy the scimitar guards of the Derey family, as long as the throatgrabber forces are contained and prevented from joining this war, the Deure family is destined to be completely wiped out by us. β
"I'm afraid the city lord of Gina Fei won't watch the Dirrey family be wiped out."
"Humph! She? That female cousin should be thankful that she can keep her position as the city lord! Emory spun, "Kerryth has been dormant for so many years, and the Deaver family must first worry about whether they can survive this war!" β
"Mother Jarres Banry is returning?" Ellie Fury was surprised, "I thought she was dead outside!" β
Emory glanced at Ellie Fury: "Okay, you don't have to worry about these things, go and gather the guards as soon as possible!" β
After Elifrey saluted and left, she did not immediately gather her guards, but came to a stalactite cave.
Originally, this was the residence of a spider priest, and because of its proximity to the Spider Church, this stalactite cave was not accessible to everyone.
But now, this stalactite cave decorated with treasures and all sorts of precious furniture is inhabited not by a spider priest, but by Elvia, the shadow witch.
Elvia, who was supposed to be in Koudila City, has now quietly appeared in the core area of Mosso Black City, and it is obvious that the Koman family and the Spider Church have some tacit understanding.
"Greetings, Honorable Lord Elvia!" Elvery respectfully saluted Elvia, who was half-lying on a poplar bed.
"I thought we should be closer, weren't we allies?" Elvia smiled and said, "Ellie Fury, do you say so?" β
"Lord Elvia is talking about the Kidal family? Or me? β
"I don't think there's any difference between the two, and soon, you'll be the new mistress of House Kidal, will you?"
"You're right, Lord Elvia!" Ellie Fury changed her meek and respectful expression in front of Emory, "Emory is no longer enough to lead the Kidal family, she still believes that the Celestial Banry, who should be regarded as a spider hotbed, can turn the tables, if it goes according to Emory's plan, the Kidal family will not only not be able to win this war, but may also become the losing side." β
Elvia smiled and shook her head, "That's not what I want to see. But that's not the only reason you want to replace Emory, right? β
"That's right! I have been raised to be a good assassin since I was a child, and the old woman of Emory once promised to give me the position of mistress after I completed the bar mitzvah, but when she found out that my talent was higher than hers, she always wanted to let me die in various accidents, if I wasn't smart enough, her purpose would have been achieved long ago! In order to be able to occupy the position of the main mother all the time, the old woman of Emory has no regard for her identity as a mother, so I will not be bound by my identity as a daughter! Ali Fury said, a look of hatred on her face.
"I admire you, Elifrey, not only for your strength, but also for your honesty!" Elvia sat up from the bed, "Our drow elves have only developed and grown through cruel elimination, and the Curman family was expelled because it was not strong enough, so I have never complained about the injustice of fate, and only after having enough strength, I will return to Mosso Black City with the Koman family, and you too, Elifrey, since Emory is no longer the strongest of the Kiddal family, then she should give up the position of the master mother to a more suitable person!" β
"Emory has decided to gather the family guards and launch them first!"
"Good!" Elvia stood up, "My army can join the battle at any time, the Koman family will help you achieve your ends, and I hope that the new Kidal family will not let me down!" β
"Of course!" After Alice Fury finished speaking, she turned to leave, and when she reached the door of the stalactite cave, she suddenly stopped, "Please forgive me for asking one more question at the end, are those assassination cases really not the work of Lord Elvia?" β
There was a gleam in Elvia's eyes, but because Elvia was facing away from Elvia, she didn't notice it at all: "Of course!" I swear in the name of the Source of Darkness that I have not instructed anyone to assassinate those drow elves! β
"So, I'll take my leave!"
After Elifrey was gone, Elvia lay back on her poplar bed, and after a while, a priestess dressed in a purple sacrificial robe and a giant spider embroidered on her hood with purple magic thread walked in.
"The war is about to start, but you are still here with me, I really don't know whether to say that you are confident, or that you are brainless!" The priestess said angrily, waving her hand to place a shadow curtain at the entrance of the cave to prevent anyone from discovering the situation in the room.
Elvia didn't mean to move at all, and said lazily, "This is also your war, my sister!" β
The Priestess, or the female dark elf as Elenita Koman, said, "If it weren't for my mother's preference for you, I would have been the matriarch of House Koman!" β
"If you want, we can swap!" Elvia said unconcernedly, "Only, are you willing to give up your power as a high priest?" My dear sister! β
"So you can lie on my bed like this now, without worrying about me being sacrificed to Rose!" Ellenita said.
"Isn't that what you expected? If the Koman family can return to Mosso Black City, you will be able to get more support, and the High Priest will abdicate after three years, and you will have enough capital to compete for the position of High Priest! β
Elenita said haughtily, "Sure, otherwise, do you think I'd care about the name Koman?" Well, stop talking this nonsense, what about your army? β
"Three thousand minotaurs have already mixed in with those slaves, otherwise, do you think that those slaves who can't even wield knives alone have the ability to force those guards into a hurry? As for the rest of the armies, you'll see it soon. β
"The lich?" Elenita said disdainfully, "Do you really think that with some temporarily summoned undead, you can shake the foundation of Mosso Black City?" β
Elvia smiled, as if mocking Elenita's superficiality: "It seems that a long time of being high above has indeed degraded your sense of smell a lot, Elenita, when you were a child, you were obviously more talented in intrigue than me!" β
"You too, since you became a housewife, you have made me hate more than when I was a child!" Elenita said coldly, their sisters have not had a good relationship since they were children, it should be said that in the dark elves, there are very few brothers and sisters who have a good relationship, "You are too naΓ―ve, what use can such a little undead do!" β
"So a little?" Elvia said in a strange way.
"Of course, don't think that the scouts in Mosso Black City are vegetarians, they have already discovered those undead!" Elenita said, "It's less than fifty thousand, wait, isn't it, is it your purpose?" β
Elvia smiled and clapped her hands: "Finally, you're not too stupid, otherwise, I really have to consider whether to live in another place!" β
"Really? No wonder, I've been wondering why that lich wants to turn all the underground creatures along the way into undead, so it's giving you real cover! β
"Works, doesn't it? Even those elite scouts couldn't get past the thousand-meter-long army of the undead to discover the real killing machine after that! Elvia smiled happily, "More than 200,000 undead army, a real army of the undead, you must have heard of the leader of the team, Les Frost!" β
"Frostbringer Les Frostwhisper?" Elenita was taken aback, "You hooked up with that group of untrustworthy people?" β
"It's just about helping each other!" Elvia laughed, "A blessing to a funny little one!" β
Elenita glanced at Elvia and took a few steps back: "Okay, since you have arranged everything, then I won't ask too much, I will deal with it on the church side, and I will not let the priesthood join this war, but the appearance of an undead army is likely to attract the attention of the priesthood!" β
"This is exactly what I expected!" "Don't worry, sister, everything is in my arrangement!" β
After Elenita left, Elvia said to herself, "It seems that the little guy is not willing to be lonely!" Vidara's idiot, who doesn't seem to be of any use at all, is a disgrace to the Drow Elf, but it's a good thing, the more muddy the water this little guy makes, the better it will be for me. Hehe, perhaps, you can think about what reward you will give this little guy when the time comes? β
It's just that at this time, Elvia didn't realize that the little guy she was using was also using her, maybe no one took a third-order small role in her eyes, but the facts will prove that who is the one who has the last laugh.
Except for one person!
The Lich Maltan Golden Coffin held a staff in his hand and blocked in front of Yu Bin, who was about to return to the camp, and in his hollow eyes, the soul fire seemed to have been poured with gasoline, and it was so violent that it almost burned Maltan's entire head!
