Chapter 85: The Shadows

The massive transparent arch bridge was shaped by the power of magic, and then it was erected on the fortress tower where the gray dwarves were stationed.

At the same time, on the other hand-

As everyone here knows, the world beneath the surface is not just a huge physical space, to be precise, it is divided into a hive labyrinth in the middle layer, and then a dark area deeper underground.

The cliff is a place between the hive maze and the dark realm, which is technically a hive labyrinth, but the seemingly bottomless darkness beneath the cliff at the edge of the ground is the scene of the dark realm.

Well...... Maybe it's a bit inaccurate to say that the "light" scene is a little inaccurate?

Leave this inconsequential detail aside......

Miela had now successfully left the town hall room in Palomet City, and had now reached a place beneath the cliff, officially belonging to the Dark Regions, through the teleportation scroll she had used to disappear from Barend's eyes.

It was an underground plain with stalagmite environment, with a few unidentified underground fungi growing near the few rock masses raised on the surface, and from a distance, it was obvious that there was a tent-lined army camp, but the soldiers in the camp were no longer the gray dwarves who had fought with the Thorns in the city of Palomitte.

They were all drows—elves in the dark, with pale hair, piny ears, dark skin, and the naturally slender silhouette of any elf.

Servis was one of the officers in the Drow army, a younger generation who wore a set of dark purple Drow delicate full-body armor, and the dark green cloak inadvertently modified his tall figure from the perspective of his back.

He was now leading a small group of men cruising around the edge of the camp, straddling the back of a tamed underground lizard with reins and spears in hand, his eyes following the mount's bumpy patrol footsteps and quickly noticing his master's arrival.

The young drow officer realized what he had to do at this moment. He immediately grabbed the reins, controlled the lizard mount to stop moving, and raised his hand to signal the rest of his subordinates to stop as well, and then rolled over and got out of his seat.

"Miss Miera, you're back."

"I'm back, Servis."

Miela was alone, and her dark purple eyes rightfully watched the Drow soldiers who met her do the same thing as Servis, jumping off their lizards and bowing to her.

As a member of the Zergun family, such rituals were taken for granted to her, especially in the dark realms deeper than the hive labyrinth, not to mention the fact that she had the additional qualifications to become a female Drow priest to serve the Spider Goddess.

True faith is common sense above all else in any drow city.

Being a member of the ruler's family and a priestess beside the goddess made her a self-evident position in the city of Morberaz.

Servis and the other Drow soldiers around her bowed to her with humility, and though they were surprised by the disappearance of several of the warriors who accompanied her, they did not dare to act rashly until they were sure that their ears could hear the noble lady say the next word.

They wondered what the young lady of House Zelgun might have experienced in that pygmy city on the cliff.

Miera's gaze swept contemptuously over the soldiers in front of her, and then slowly focused on the leader of the group, Servis, a young male Drow officer, who was in fact one of the few trusted cronies she could trust, after all, he had grown up with her, and had been raised by his family to be his loyal dog in his formative years, and he had not changed to this day.

Servis is her "dog".

She lowered her gaze slightly at her "dog", and after a while she finally put down the shelf for the time being, and the expression on her face suddenly changed from arrogance to seriousness, and then said cautiously: "All right, Servis, look up—and then take your men, and immediately follow me to the camp to gather all the officers." ”

"Are we going to attack the surface?"

"No, we need to make a temporary and necessary change to our plans...... Because my sister is back. ”

"What?!" Servis was taken aback.

"Don't worry, it's not Ruth." Miela saw him obey his orders and raised his face, and his face, which was quite handsome, suddenly showed a look of astonishment, "It's my second sister...... Edith, with a team of adventurers from the surface, is now estimated to be turning the city of Palomit upside down. ”

As the words fell, she took a deep breath, and on the surface she seemed to be quite calm, but the clenched fists on both sides of her waist inadvertently revealed a trace of discomfort in her heart.

Even though it seems like it's only for a moment.

As for the Ruster she just mentioned, the drow woman who seemed to cause her discomfort just by appearing in the words was actually the eldest daughter of the Zelgon family in this life, a genius warlock with extraordinary spell-casting qualifications, and originally the most promising candidate to become the next head mother of the family.

It's a pity that she is too crazy - it would be nice to say that the content of madness is only reflected in behavior or thoughts, but no one would have imagined that she, who had been cultivated as a genius by her family at that time, would dare to secretly turn her back on the spider goddess and willingly devote herself to another mysterious faith.

And in the values of the drows, evil, vicious, and violent...... And so on these negative characters are nothing, but betraying the spider goddess is an absolutely unforgivable capital crime.

"Spiderization" is a more cruel torture than death in the gloomy underworld, which will cause the drow elves who were originally humanoids to be irreversibly severely corroded, the upper part of the body retains the outline of a humanoid, and the lower part of the body becomes the belly and thin limbs of a spider, and it is said that there is a maddening voice echoing in the depths of the mind every moment, suggesting and urging the tortured to serve the great spider goddess and thus become an eternal slave.

Miela remembers that Ruster paid the price for her own madness, and was sent to the Spider Pool by the City Council on the day her new faith was revealed, and she was transformed into a spider elf - but instead of losing her mind, she unleashed her powerful spells even wilder, single-handedly slaughtering the Spider Pond and the entire city, and disappeared again.

The "Lady of the Zelgons" has been taboo in Morbaras ever since, and it is rumored that the Spider Goddess has even secretly sent Waxmelt Assassins to hunt her endlessly, and it is unknown whether the mad Miss Spider Drow is dead or alive to this day.

The drow's affection is one of the biggest jokes in the world.

From the bottom of her heart, Miela was afraid of her former eldest sister, Ruthster...... However, for the second sister she called Edith in her memory, her attitude towards her was competitive.

"All in all, I don't allow my second sister to jump out and fight for my power at this time." Remembering her sisters was suspended in her mind, Miela bared her teeth coldly, her dark purple eyes revealing an awe-inspiring murderous aura, "She was banished a long time ago. If she is now going to come back and re-compete with me for the position of the Mistress, then I can only give her one gift that she cannot refuse before she returns home - death! ”
