Volume 4: The Swan Song (Remastered) Chapter 22: Behind the Scenes

The appearance of inheritance-level boots gave Yu Bin another reason to go to Kodila. He felt that there must be something driving all this in the dark, this feeling had been felt before, and Yu Bin even did not hesitate to give up the reward offered by the ghost lady Farina in order to verify it, and this time, this feeling was even more obvious.

Koudila is a city dominated by dark elves located in the underworld.

The Underworld is not the so-called Underworld, it is not on the same plane as the Entagri World, but an independent plane. The first to discover the underworld was the best of the ancient sun elves, Gwendrin, and at that time, this underworld, which had been enslaved by the elves of the ancients, was also known as Karim World.

Regarding the world of Karim and the deeds of Gwendrin, you can go to the chronology of the ancient era to find it, and I will not repeat it here, otherwise there will be a suspicion of the number of words.

With the end of the ancient era and the establishment of the elven empire, the underground world gradually lost the attention of the elves, and only a small number of elves still continued the habits of the ancient era and lived in the dark underground world. Over time, these elves have become estranged from their fellow elves living in the world of Entagre in many ways, and have developed into two different races.

These elves named themselves "Drow", meaning lord of darkness, so they are also known as drow elves, although those who live in the world of Entagre are more accustomed to calling them dark elves.

As for the race of the Dark Elves, or the Drow Elves, we will have a chance to elaborate on them later. Let's start with the Underworld, an independent plane that is closely related to the world of Entagre.

Due to the continued development of the Antiquity and the beginning of the First Age, the Underworld is more closely connected to the world of Entagre than any other independent plane. Numerous entrances and exits of different sizes and shapes connect the two planes together, just as two sheets of paper are connected by countless threads, forming a single passage. With the help of these entrances and exits, it is easy to enter and exit the underground world.

Since the two planes do not have corresponding passages according to their respective geographical locations, it is not uncommon for them to escape from this to enter the Underworld, and then travel a few kilometers in the Underworld to return to the Entagre World from another passage, only to find that they are 108,000 miles away from their original location. This extremely chaotic spatial correlation is entirely caused by the Dark Elves themselves. When they decided to break with their compatriots in the world of Entagre, in order to prevent the powerful Elven Empire from attacking the underground world, the dark elf mages spent a lot of thought, and finally completely disrupted the original one-to-one corresponding spatial passages, and turned them into a chaotic spatial coordinate system that even they didn't know.

Therefore, for players who are not familiar with the underworld, the complex and chaotic underworld is not only dangerous, but also easy to get lost, and only those players who are least afraid of death and are full of adventure will go to the underworld. For a player with rich experience like Yu Bin, the chaotic spatial coordinate system of the underground world can be said to be the best means of long-range movement.

The city ruled by the dark elves is one of the few underground cities that remain neutral between the two camps, most of which have defected to the chaos camp, and during each faction war, the dark elves who participated in the war have caused a lot of trouble to the orderly camp by using the underground passages that extend in all directions.

Koudila is the largest smuggling city in the Underworld, and the most buildings in the city are various shops and auction houses. Here, you can buy everything you can imagine, and even a heroic presence can become a commodity here.

The premise is that you have enough capital!

This city of smugglers, stolen goods, thieves, assassins, killers, and spies belongs to House Koman, a dark elven family with a glorious history, currently led by Elvia Koman, known as the Night Witch, but whose true identity is a Shadow Maiden.

The Dark Elves are a matriarchal clan society, with countless families, large and small, making up this group called the Drow Elves. The rulers of these families are all female Dark Elves, and male Dark Elves can only be guards, soldiers, or slaves, even the sons of the head of the house!

In the history of the Dark Elves, they first believed in Nessera, known as the Lord of Shadows and the protector of the underworld, this powerful female black dragon was the first spouse of the Black Dragon King Nesario, and after the fall of Nesario, she became the ruler of the Black Dragon Legion, so she is also known as the Black Dragon Queen. But this powerful dragon was not much better than her husband's luck, and in the middle of the First Age, the elven queen Rose, who had betrayed the Elven Empire, fled to the underworld, and Wisestra sheltered her, but the cunning Rose designed a trap to imprison Wisestra in order to seize the Source of Darkness from the Black Dragon Queen, and eventually became a god based on it.

Since then, the Dark Elves have changed their faith and come to worship Rose, the goddess of spiders. However, there are still some dark elves who worship Sinestra, the Lord of Shadows. The Koman family, to which Elvia belongs, is one of the most emblematic of these.

In the second year after the world of Entagre was fully opened, there was a very far-reaching upheaval in the underworld. A group of dark elves, led by the Koman family, overthrew several large families that believed in the spider goddess Rose, and succeeded in freeing the imprisoned Cinesstra. Regaining power, Wisestra began to take revenge on the spider goddess Rose, slaughtering a large number of dark elves, and even causing extremely severe damage to Rose's kingdom, causing Rose to cooperate with the demons of chaos in the bottomless abyss before finally defeating Rosestra. This shows the great strength of this black dragon queen.

Of course, at this moment, Alvia Koman is still lurking in the shadows, waiting for the right opportunity. So Kodila, at least on the surface, still worships Rose, the goddess of spiders.

If Yu Bin wants to find Saron Evil Iron to make those inheritance-level boots, then Kodila is obviously a very good choice. There are various auctions held here every day, and even if something like Saron Evil Iron appears on the auction list, Yu Bin will not be surprised, because this is the characteristic of Kodila, anything can become a commodity, as long as you have enough capital!

"The point is, what kind of conspiracy is being planned behind the scenes of the old ribs and the witch of Elvia, so that Kel'thugad will not hesitate to send things like the Book of your to her!" Originally, Yu Bin didn't care much about the dirty affair between these two guys, anyway, he was an errand runner, and when things were delivered, his task would be completed. But the psychological shadow left by Andrew Yasin on Yu Bin is too big, so big that Yu Bin has to grow dozens or hundreds of eyes and fold his brain circuits hundreds or thousands of times.

Yu Bin didn't want to be like Casaman's Forest, jumping headlong into the pit without knowing anything. One jump is enough, if you jump again, it will be completely Yu Bin's own problem. How can a smart person fall into the same pit three times or twice!

As he pondered the shady curtain behind it all, on the Ice Throne in the heart of Northrend, the lich Navik Frostwhisper was examining the eternal ice that had sealed his master.

"As we expected, that little guy has obviously been recognized by the Soul Suppression Bead! Your plan has failed again! There was a breath of frost in Navik's hands, melting the 10,000-year-old ice little by little.

"Failure? Hehe! This time no one fails! ”

"But the fragment of your soul that you left in Lacorette did not serve the purpose of resurrection. I thought that relying on that secret realm, I could allow Lacorette to regain her body and return to this world! "Navik is very sorry for the fate of Lacorette, after all, it was a container carefully selected by his master tens of thousands of years ago, and even did not hesitate to divide a piece of soul fragment into the elven prince's body for this reason.

It was precisely because of Lacorette's defeat that his master's soul was missing, and in order to prevent too much loss of power, he had to seal himself in this 10,000-year-old ice while continuing to search for the next container.

Over the years, there have been countless heroes who have become alternative targets for Navik, but either the timing is bad or they are interfered with, and Disama Caron is a good example, some beings who don't want to see his master reborn dare not stand up to stop it in person, but they can still do it behind the scenes.

It wasn't until the end of the day was approaching, and those guys had to choose to cooperate with them in order to survive the catastrophe, that Navik and his master began to look for a new container and set their sights on Yu Bin. Navik's master even did not hesitate to give away his own saber, trying to induce Yu Bin's growth through this medium and meet their demands as soon as possible.

"It doesn't matter! Navik! The owner of this lich, the heir of the kingdom of Lothric in ancient times, Prince Lorien, who had been frozen in Northrend for tens of thousands of years, said calmly, "Whether Lacorette has realized his plan or not, he has achieved my goal!" I've managed to recover that soul fragment, and it only takes a while for me to reintegrate this soul fragment, and my power won't continue to drain any longer, and I can get rid of this damn cage once and for all! ”

I'm afraid no one would have imagined that Prince Lorien, who left the world of Entagre and established the kingdom of Javier in the world of Nora, would become like this.

"So, don't you want Lacorlet's plan to succeed?"

"No, I hope he succeeds! To this day, I still think Lacorte is the best container for me. Not only is he ambitious, but he also has abilities that no one else can, and just like me, his soul is perfect for Void Travel! That's why I guided him to Northrend, and then successfully incorporated a soul fragment into his body. ”

"But what I didn't expect was that his soul was so determined, not only was he not tempted by my soul fragments, but he even rebelled against my part of the soul fragments that were divided. His resurrection plan is not only to continue to seize the power of the Elven Empire, but also to completely eliminate my influence on him. After acquiring a new body, only one soul can move into the new body, and then he can completely strip the fragments of my soul from his soul. ”

Navik nodded: "It's a pity that he underestimated your power!" The fragment of your soul has long since merged with his, and it is impossible to strip it away. ”

"That's the worst! The fragments of my soul were influenced by Lacorte, and they rebelled against me as the master, wanting to be completely independent, and I guess this is also the method of Lacorette, who, like me, does not put all hope on a possibility. ”

"I see! If Lacorrite's plan fails, you'll be able to recover that soul shard. And if Lacorette's plan succeeds, he will also realize that his soul has become entangled with you because of the fusion of soul fragments. In order to break free from your control, he has to come here and find a way to destroy your soul so that he can truly become an independent being. And as soon as he steps into Northrend again, he is destined to become a toy in the palm of your hand. Once again, you've got the right container! ”

"It's a pity, the Soul Orb that Sandru left behind looks like it's protecting that little guy! He is a guy who can travel around the Void, and he has a much deeper study of the soul than I do! ”

"This is the second time you've been stopped by that orb! I thought you'd let Andrew take that soul orb away. "Navik is clearly unhappy that Prince Lorian has allowed the existence of the Soul Orb so much. The first time was in the abyss of pain, the rune sword, which was the medium of Prince Lorian's soul, could have been directly devoured by Yu Bin's soul after absorbing the divine imprint of Azadago, when Yu Bin was in a coma and had no ability to resist at all. However, in the end, it was destroyed by the Soul Suppression Bead, and at the moment when the rune sword began to devour Yu Bin's soul, the Soul Suppression Bead was automatically activated, reshaping Yu Bin's soul. This caused Yu Bin to feel an obvious sense of disobedience after waking up, in fact, it was because of the discomfort and insanity caused by the remodeling of the soul.

After that attempt, Prince Lorien realized that devouring Yu Bin's soul was not an easy task, so he abandoned the method of directly using the rune sword to achieve his goal, and instead laid the trap this time, using Lacorette's plan to make a second attempt.

But obviously, the second attempt also failed, and the soul storm that broke out completely destroyed Lacorette's soul, and only the soul fragment that Prince Lorian had divided at the beginning could not be destroyed because of its high quality, and was finally absorbed by the rune sword and returned to his body.

"I have a hunch that that little guy is going to surprise me in the future!" Prince Lorien's voice gradually deepened, and under the influence of the wind and snow in Northrend, it gradually became inaudible, "Don't worry! It won't be long before he comes to me! ”

Looking at the Ice Throne, which had been resealed, Navik opened a door to the Falhara Palace, where the bones were buried, and said to himself, "I can't wait that long, it looks like I'll have to find a way to push it again!" That idiot from Kel'thugad apparently didn't take my orders seriously! Maybe it's a good idea to let Les do it! ”
