54. Snow Elves
"Looks like this is the broken elevator that Indraster wrote in his notes. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info"In the face of sheer numerical violence, the dwarven guards and mechanisms along the way couldn't stop Asa and Serana at all. At this time, the two finally "have no way out", the reason is very simple, the elevator is broken, and if you want to reach the bottom, I am afraid that you can only jump down, but here is about two stories high from the ground below, and the bottom is full of stone hills piled up by ruins and broken walls, and you have to break your leg if you don't die. (ps:Here if you don't have a heavy armor cushion perk, it's best to jump to the left pipe first.,If you have to play cliff jumping, please don't jump down.,You basically won't die if you go down.,If you jump down, the thin-skinned landing point is not good, and you'll really die.,B Society's design is really too real.,You just jump a little higher.,The blood that falls off will really soar)
"Look, that orc down there! It should be Ms. Jacob. Serana's discovery confirmed Asa's reasoning, and the body of the faithful orc maid lay quietly on the stone ruins, and it seems that the snow elves did not continue to torture her corpse.
Summoning so many powerful summons also made the magic power in Asa's body officially run out, although he had a lot of magic potions, but he was not worried about his life at the moment, Asa was not in a hurry to drink it first, and let his body recover his magic power on its own. Besides, even if he had magic power, Asa didn't have the ability to send such a large group of people down, but fortunately he didn't, someone did. "Moroki! Send us down! β
"Yes! Lord Ryuki! "The former sworn enemy is now a loyal servant, and with a flick of Morooi's finger, a large group of people, including Asa's summons, was teleported down in the blink of an eye. Although Asa's [Teleportation] can be carried out with other people, it is really impossible to teleport such a large group of people at the same time, and although the distance is very short, the difficulty of teleporting so many people is still not a joke, and the power of the ancient dragon sacrifice is really unfathomable.
"You, take her with you!" Asa pointed to the angry ghost carrying Indrast, and motioned for it to bring the orc Jacob with him.
"Well, I don't know if any of them are alive."
"Hopefully," said Asa, who didn't have much hope in his heart, judging from the fact that this expedition had been captured by the snow elves once before, the difference in strength between the two sides was already clear. In this situation, he still insisted on exploring, and I don't know whether to say that Captain Sula is too explorer or too desperate.
"Then again, it's really deep enough." Now the large platform they are on is basically suspended on the stone wall, only a spiraling path leads to the depths below, the road can only accommodate two people walking side by side at most, and there is no guardrail at all, and it is almost impossible to see where the bottom is when you look down from both sides, and I am afraid that the little timid will not dare to take this road.
"I have to admire the craftsmanship of the forging dwarves, how did they build these roads in the first place?" Asa also looked down, almost wondering if these dwarves had dug through the entire planet, at this time Asa was a little worried, afraid that these stone roads were not strong enough, and he had summoned so many thugs to come over, what if they collapsed?
Thankfully, the dwarven building is not a tofu scum project, although there are signs of collapse from time to time due to its age, but the places that have not collapsed are obviously good projects that have withstood the erosion of time, and what Asa was worried about did not happen in the end.
"Is that the Snow Elf?" Just as she was about to pass a platform and continue her downward journey, Serana suddenly grabbed Asa and pointed to a few pale figures scattered on the road below.
Asa nodded and sighed, "That's right, I heard that compared to half-elves like me, snow elves are not treated well by elves of other races. I didn't quite understand why before, but now that I see the real thing, I suddenly understand that the typical face is hateful. β
Even if Serana was not a woman judged by appearance, she had to agree with Asa at this time, these so-called snow elves had nothing in common with other elven races except for the pair of pointed ears, their skin was pale, and their eyes seemed to be covered with a disgusting membrane of flesh as if they were scabbed.
They with excellent hearing and smell also discovered Asa and them, but the huge gap in combat power made Asa not even have the idea of worrying, the angry ghost and the demon lord did not make a move, and several snow elves who came over this side were blown out by the storm wind blowing around the storm elemental, and fell like meteors, it seems that they have lost even the ability to speak, so they did not make a scream, just a few dry coughs and whimpered and then disappeared.
"What hateful and pathetic creatures, how did they become like this?" Serana frowned, as if puzzled by the existence of such a deformed creature as a snow elf.
"I don't know much about this, and it's strange to say, I basically read a little bit of everything, but I've never been interested in books related to snow elves, like I hate them in my bones. I asked the old man, and he said that this was normal, and that most of the elves seemed to have a natural aversion to them. Even though I'm only half-elf~~"
"Honorable Dragon King, if this young lady wants to know about the snow elves, I am willing to do it for you." At this time, to Assa's surprise, Molok Yi actually took the initiative to open his mouth to solve the doubts of the two, except for being a little surprised by the actions of this dragon sacrifice, Asa didn't have any opinions, nodded and signaled that it could continue.

The Snow Elves, originally one of the Orthodox Elves, are mainly found in the Skyrim. It used to have an appearance comparable to other elves, and among all elves, it can also be called a civilized race, with a fairly strong literary heritage, and has published many literary works.
However, until one day, the happy life of the snow elves was shattered. The Nords rose up in the sky and defeated them in the classic barbarian victory over the civilized. At the end of the battle, they were surrounded by the Nords and were about to be encircled. At this time, the Snow Prince, the hero of the Snow Elves, stood up and led the entire Snow Elf clan to turn the tide.
But an even more dramatic scene appeared, a bereaved Nord child, who was not on guard because he was a child, accidentally killed the Snow Prince. The Snow Elves, who had lost their leader, fell into despair and were soon cornered by the Nords.
Unwilling to be wiped out, the Snow Elves found their last chance of survival: they turned to the Underground Elves --- Dwarves (also known as the Deep Elves) for help, hoping that they would be able to take in the remaining Clansmen. The mechanically savvy and ambitious dwarves pretended to be sympathetic to their request, but what the snow elves didn't expect was that this was just the beginning of another nightmare.
In the underground palaces where the dwarves have no end in sight, the snow elves, once proud of their civilization, are regarded as the lowest slaves, doing the heaviest work, but the food they get is only cave fungi that the dwarves do not eat. After a long period of torment, their skin became pale and withered, and their eyes gradually deteriorated in darkness and toxins. As for the civilization that was once proud? It's just a distant legend that has been passed down from generation to generation.
After losing civilization, they were hit hard again, and even lost their last dependence. In order to have a huge ambition for power, the dwarves tried to restore the ancient divine power, and did not listen to the dark elves of their neighbors [they were not called dark elves at the time], and initiated a forbidden ritual, which led to the destruction of the entire race, and so far, the dwarves and their advanced civilization disappeared from the world. And what about the snow elves? Deprived of the dwarves, they were once again on the verge of extinction, but through the domestication of Charus, they survived.
At this time, the snow elves who had been tortured for a long time were only the blood of the ancient snow elves, and they could no longer even be called intelligent creatures. They were left with nothing but deep hatred for the humans who drove them underground, for their people who persecuted them, for the lack of surface creatures that could save them from their nightmares. They hate everything.

"I see, it's pretty pitiful to say so." After listening to the history of the snow elves narrated by Moroxi, the group also temporarily said goodbye to the "hanging corridor" and came to a room similar to a torture room. Asa shook his head with some emotion as he said this, and used the magic power he had just recovered to release a few [Flame Magic] to burn the corpses of several snow elves at his feet to ashes, he originally wanted to use necromancy to make them give some residual value, but at this time, it would be better to let them go with the wind.
"No wonder they hate the Nords so much, even if they die." Serana said as she looked somewhere in the roomβa handcuffed stone bed with a bruised corpse of a Bruised Nord woman, presumably a member of the expedition. After counting the number of people, I guessed that this should be the first expedition member to go missing, and the list was marked as "a mage who had nothing to do with Winter Castle" Wari.
At first, she didn't understand why the snow elf, who didn't take the body of the female orc Jacob, would torture a female Nord like this, but after listening to Moroxi's story, she realized that this was the hatred in the snow elf's bones.
At this moment, a cold tear fell on Serana's hand, and she wiped her cheeks in surprise, it turned out that she had already covered her face with tears.
"Strange? How could I cry? β
At this time, Serana did not realize how inextricably entangled the snow elves were with her fate.
