Act 51 The Dark Elves

"It would be nice if there was no war." Haruzer couldn't help but whisper, his silver eyes were quietly reflected in the golden light falling from the sky, although the little prince didn't know what it was, he instinctively felt that this qiē might be related to his teacher: "Miss Lesmeka, the black moon is broken, is this a sign?" ”

Lady Medusa, however, seemed to be thinking about her own thoughts, and did not react for a moment.

She looked at the wilderness, the dark earth seemed to symbolize the uninhabited, beyond the hills, she could only see patches of deserted fields, a windmill stood alone on the distant mountain, reflecting the skyrocketing fire of the Bear Lake area, the blade fan of the windmill had long since rotted away, leaving only a bare frame, which had been half demolished by someone who did not know who.

It's hard to believe that it was once one of the most agriculturally prosperous areas of the Empire, supporting the consumption of food in the Cape Bay and Anzeruta, but now that roads have been cut off, commerce and trade have come to a standstill.

It is not yet known what kind of famine will occur in the empire this year.

Lesmerka couldn't help but think of her hometown, which seemed to the people of the underworld to be as beautiful as it was here, but it was now gone.

"Miss Lesmeka?"

"Huh?"

"What's wrong with you?" Haruzer looked at her with some bewilderment, he had never seen Lady Medusa so distracted.

"I'm sorry," Lesmerka snapped into her forehead, pressing the scales on her forehead, "I'm distracted." ”

"What are you thinking?" Haruzer asked.

"I'm thinking about those dark elves."

Lesmeka lied.

But it's not entirely a lie, as around the middle of autumn, a clan of dark elves came to the surface and established their own territory far from Medusa's territory. They have brought the long-lost news of the Underworld to the inhabitants of the Underworld—the demons have crossed the Ashes and begun to attack the area above the Great Hive.

Valhalla's fleet sails through the sky, but when it is not teleporting to jump. In fact, people are still sent to the ground every day to collect information about the vicinity, first, to confirm possible enemy situations, and second, to replenish food and water.

Of course, in a barren place like Anzlova today, most of the factors are more likely to be the former.

The news of the dark elves in Lesmerka's mouth had been heard by the fleet for a few days, and the others were only used as after-dinner conversations. But for Lesmerca, it means far.

"Are you homesick, Lesmerca?" Haruzer asked in a whisper.

"I don't have a home, Your Highness the Prince."

Haruzer looked at her with some curiosity.

Lesmeka sighed and explained, "I used to be a slave to the devil, and those who were taken as slaves had no home, and we were banished from our homes, and we lost what we were supposed to be. ”

Haruzer was a little sad when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Miss Lesmeka, you may be able to ask the teacher to help you." He had defeated those demons before, and there would be a way. ”

Haruze looked confident in Brando, who was probably omnipotent in his opinion, at least he had never let the student down.

Lesmerka glanced at the little prince and shook her head. She had thought so, but until today, the fall of the Black Moon meant the fall of twilight, and she knew that this might be the source of the demons' movements. Then if it were the end of the whole world, the young man and the Buga would not be able to change this qiē.

She thought of this. I couldn't help but subconsciously press the pendant of the necklace on my chest.

But it was at this time that the necklace shook slightly.

Lesmeka was horrified.

She raised her head, prismatic vertical pupils staring at the dark woods not far away, and whispered, "Who's there!" ”

There was a whisper of surprise from the forest.

"Lesmerca, is that you?"

Haruzer didn't know what was going on, and he couldn't help but look left and right - after the knights in the woods behind him noticed the movement. He drew his sword and leaned over, and then he saw Miss Medusa beside him frozen there as if she had been petrified.

"Kaya?" Lesmeka asked tentatively.

There was a cheer from the forest.

Then a young girl with a longbow and a long cloak jumped down from the tree there, her hood folded back behind her neck, revealing long white hair and pointed ears that were beautiful in the moonlight—an elf. However, her body is much shorter than the average wind elf and silver elf, and her skin is dark, and in the eye sockets on either side of the straight nose bridge, there are a pair of eyes that sparkle like rubies, which makes people subconsciously think of some legendary vampires.

But there is no doubt that the other party is not an undead, but a distant relative of the elves in the underworld, the dark elves.

Haruzer didn't expect that Lesmerka had just mentioned these dark elves to him, and the other party really appeared, and it seemed that this dark elf girl also knew Lady Medusa beside him.

The dark elf girl Kaya couldn't help but let out a cry of excitement the moment she saw Lesmeka, she threw away her longbow and pounced, hugging Lesmeka tightly.

Lady Medusa hurriedly stopped the knights who came up from behind, and then she hugged the little girl, who also seemed a little excited, first held the other person's face and looked at it carefully, and then kissed the other person's forehead according to the Medusa etiquette - Haruzer had been with her for a long time, and knew that this etiquette was used by the Medusas to those closest to her.

He couldn't help but glance at the dark elf girl with some curiosity, among what Brando had taught him about Jogandegang, the dark elves were independent, and the society of this matriarchal clan had little to do with the other inhabitants of the underground.

Lesmeka and Kaya chattered in the underground language for a long time before taking the latter's hand and approaching Haruzer and introducing him: "Your Royal Highness, this is Kaya, I met her in the slave camp of the demons, and she saved me several times. ”

"Sister Lesmeka has saved me several times, too." Kaya spoke, her words were round, this dark elf girl even knew the language of the ground, and her tone was very standard: "Your Royal Highness, the prince of the human race, hello, Zokasha protects you. ”

Haruzer knew. Zokasha is the goddess of spiders, but she is also Martha, and she is similar to the goddess of the moon that the undead worship, but she is actually only a side of order.

"Hello, Miss Kaya." He nodded politely, then turned his gaze to Lady Medusa, who apparently hadn't figured out what was going on.

"Kaya brought news about the underground," Lesmerka understood what the little prince's eyes meant, and quickly explained, "Didn't you ask what the Black Moon Fall meant earlier. Your Royal Highness, that represents the awakening of dusk. ”

"Ahh Haruzer was taken aback.

"Don't be in a hurry, Your Highness," Lady Medusa waved her hand, motioning for the other party not to interrupt herself, "but the Dragon of Dusk seems to have lost contact with this world, and the demons have caused civil strife as a result, and this qiē happened two months ago, and it was at that time that Kaya and the others escaped. ”

"Two months ago." Haruzer remembered something: "Wasn't that the first time we met the Dragon Queen?" ”

"Around that time, the demons had been fighting each other until a few days ago. This means that something must have gone wrong with the Dragon of Dusk," Lesmeka said with some excitement, "The Black Moon fell to death and the Dragon of Dusk didn't appear, maybe that rumor is true." ”

“…… What rumors? ”

"It's the Azure Knight who has completely defeated it, and if it doesn't appear after the Demon Tide is over, the demons will retreat back to the Sea of Chaos, and maybe we will have a chance to return to the Tip of the Ashes." Ms. Medusa's voice couldn't help but be a little higher. Her fists were clenched, her eyes sparkling, Haruzer had never seen her like this before.

"Miss Kaya," he asked, turning back, "is it true that Lesmeka said that the Dragon of Dusk is dead?" ”

Kaya shook her head blankly, "I don't know. But the demons have indeed begun to strife with each other, and it is by this opportunity that we have escaped by standing still before the Great Hive and slaughtering a sea of blood in Jorgande. ”

She thought for a moment, and then said: "Your Highness, my people and I are nowhere to go at the moment, I heard that the empire may regain this place at any time, I heard from Sister Lesmerka about you and your sister, I want to beg you to take us in for a while, we can definitely help you-"

"Huh?" Haruzer was stunned, he knew that the dark elves who fled to the ground must not be one or two people, since they could be called clans, there must be at least several hundred people. Although the Dark Elves are matriarchal clan societies, they are brave and warlike, fighting for territory with other peoples underground, as well as fighting demons for many years, and their individual combat effectiveness is actually far superior to that of their relatives on the surface.

These people are a great force, but they can also be a nuisance, and his knowledge of this people is limited to the knowledge that Brando told him, but he is not sure what the character of the other person is.

If these dark elves are aggressive, greedy, and ambitious, wouldn't he bring back trouble for his sister?

The little prince couldn't help but feel a little distressed for a while, thinking that if the teacher was here, he would definitely be able to make a decision lightly.

"Your Highness," Lesmerka said suddenly, "promise her that the dark elves will not stay on the surface for long, and when the demons retreat, we will return to the tip of the ashes." But until then, we can do you and your sister a lot of help. ”

Haruzer rubbed his brow with a sad face, this action was very similar to his sister, if Brando was here, maybe he would mistakenly think that he saw the 'little princess' he saw in his dream.

"Miss Kaya," he thought on his own, imagining what Brando would do if he were here, before he spoke, "Can you tell me more about the Twilight Dragon, what happened?" ”

Haruzer decided to decide how to answer this question after confirming that the demon would retreat into chaos.

Kaya was stunned when she heard this question, probably not thinking about the connection between the two, but she reacted quickly, almost subconsciously answering something.

But this sentence was spoken too quickly, and it didn't seem like a language on the ground, and the director didn't understand it at all.

However, His Royal Highness the Little Prince didn't understand, but Lesmeka did, her face changed slightly, and she subconsciously said, "Impossible! ”

Unexpectedly, this time Kaya did not obey her, and the dark elf girl shook her head firmly and said something again, because she was talking to Lesmeka, so she opened a series of underground words.

When Lesmeka heard this, a shocked look appeared on her face, and she subconsciously put her hand on her chest, and felt the necklace around her neck shake slightly again.

Then it suddenly began to glow and slowly rose from between the snow-white cleavage of the Medusa lady.

Kaya's eyes burned as she stared at the ornament, as if she had seen something sacred.
