Chapter 55: Elves
The glorious platinum city with a long history, at this moment, is no longer in line with the prosperity of the past.
Endless fires spread along the streets full of history, and the sea of fire that covered the sky was swallowed up at will, and in front of the vandals who had lost their minds, the precious monuments full of traces of history were not worth mentioning.
In the sky, dragons and monsters were fighting, and the white-winged angels were red-eyed, and they were like butchers, slaying all the "evil" in front of them, even if he was a civilian a moment ago.
"Dead all dead!!"
"The Assassination of the High Priestess Kaya!! The Dark Elves are crazy! They kill anyone they see! ”
"How can there be golden dragons and angels in the underworld, is this the gods of order who want to destroy us? Or the army of the ground has already come. ”
"The orc legions have entered the city, and they are fighting with the dark elves!"
Where is this still yesterday's peaceful Vitan, countless beacon fires have been ignited one by one, and the thousand-year-old city is about to be destroyed.
This also started with the auction that was destined to end.
At four o'clock in the morning, the auction, which was originally scheduled to be held at the Platinum Chapel, was temporarily relocated.
Without him, the chapel that can accommodate 10,000 people is too small to accommodate the number of people participating in this auction, and due to my contract requirement that "anyone can participate in the auction", the auction was scheduled to be held at 12 o'clock, and before 3 o'clock in the morning, the chapel was crowded, and in desperation, I had to change the auction location.
Considering that the new location must be open, the address of the original auction house was directly used, where there is already a sinkhole with no edge in sight, which is definitely spacious enough.
This auction is not destined to end peacefully, the alliance is over, the tacit agreement of absolute non-war during the binding alliance is invalid, and the agreement to prohibit fighting in Vitan City, the neutral zone? I'm sorry, but if it weren't for the balance of power, the city itself would be within the scope of the struggle.
In fact, everyone knows that no matter who auctions that artifact, in the end, it will be snatched on the spot, and if it doesn't have the strength to overwhelm the whole audience, it will definitely not be taken away.
But human nature is greedy, and luck psychology is more or less common to everyone.
"Isn't that how legendary knight novels are written? Perhaps, in the competition, the artifact suddenly fell in front of me, and soon I will understand the secret, promote the Emperor of the Dead, become the Emperor of the Xiluo Empire, marry Bai Fumei, and walk to the peak of life, thinking about it is still a little excited. Such thoughts swirl in everyone's heart, and they feel that their strength is enough, their luck is amazing, and they can't stand the ** to pick up cheap on the spot, and there are not a few.
It is said that after the auction started that day, the entire "square" was blocked, and although the first few auction items were rare treasures, no one cared, and even, under the eyes of 10,000 strong people, no one dared to bid, and the auction was directly lost.
Why is it supposed? It would be too stupid to step into the pit I dug myself, not only did I not go myself, but I also strictly ordered any of my subordinates to go to the scene, and at the same time, I also raised the vigilance level of the camp, activated a qiē equipment that can strengthen the defense of the camp, and everyone wore armor to rest and be ready to fight at any time.
Why? Feeling overwhelmed? In fact, it is not superfluous at all, under normal circumstances, there can only be one master in a city, so that the citizens and the army know where they belong, but in this city, there are at least four cores.
Although they are all multi-racial cities, they are the most fundamentally different from Brimstone Mountain City, just here, their various races are not under relatively uniform laws and decrees to understand each other and strive to coexist, here, dark elves are dark elves, orcs are orcs, humans are humans, living habits and even living areas are completely different, the orders of each overlord are naturally in charge of their own areas, if they go to other districts at night and are wheeled or killed, in their eyes, it is completely normal and self-inflicted.
"It's not right, it's not right." Excessive isolation makes mixed living completely meaningless, and the competition for survival resources, due to the racial prejudice and various misunderstandings and rumors that have expanded the special case, has deepened the contradictions between them.
As soon as I arrived in this city, I realized that the situation was very wrong, the legendary old city with a history of 10,000 years? It sounds very powerful, but if you continue to live in isolation from each other and keep rubbing, wouldn't it be equivalent to ten thousand years of grudges.
And the countless conflicts and even the collapse of the city in history have proved my guess that the system and composition of the city are destined to be reincarnated in the "accumulation of contradictions", "the outbreak of contradictions" and "reconstruction", and now, with the convergence of the four hegemons, the negotiation and even competition for interests in the covenant, the accumulation of contradictions is enough, and the rest is just a powerful fuse.
And I, at this time, gave the scepter of eternal night.
Okay, I also feel like I'm dead, but I really didn't expect this famous city to be such a scene under the glamour.
And this is the inducement, and when the war really burns, the latent "bystander" spies transfer the direct fuse, and the reason for the rise of the war is even more helpless.
"As soon as the auction ended, the fool who paid 10,000 gold was divided into thirteen pieces, and everyone mingled. At that time, there was a Seraphic Angel who threw his sword, but was blocked back by a Minotaur weapon master, and the blazing sword actually bounced towards the dark elf mastermother, and the master mother was stupid at that time? ”
"The mistress is dead? But it's not going to be like this, is it just a full-scale war? Kaya must have made too much of a fuss. ”
"No, it's not the Recina of Morsoblay who died. The Sphinx Mistress, she directly pulled the top tank of the people on the side, as a human shield, there was chaos at the time, and the mistresses were all unresponsive priests, and as a result, she really succeeded. “
"Poof, that guy is so unlucky?"
"High Priest Kaya, her heart was directly pierced, and she couldn't die anymore, and instantly returned to Rose's arms."
If I take off my mask, it will definitely be an embarrassment on my face now, and the nominal supreme leader of the dark elves, Rose's illegitimate daughter, will just hang up? Just died inexplicably?
"No way, I've warned her not to go to the scene" was so startled that he stopped in the middle of the noise, although I did warn the "allies" of the danger in the venue, but it would be incredible if they obeyed.
"How so? Such a bad luck? Could it be that she is also a spearman? ”
My self-talk was questioned by the elven spy in front of me, and she nodded.
"My lord, in order to ensure safety in the chaos, Kaya took out the sub-artifact Hydra Spear passed down from Rose this time, but the god of doom never looked at it differently because of his status, and the powerful high priest actually suffered this fate. Then the gun was also recognized, and many people began to snatch it, so there were not a few people who died. ”
I was dumbfounded, this is too straightforward and effective.
I had expected chaos, but Kaya's sudden death turned the chaos into a large-scale war.
An underground overlord died suddenly, and she was also the illegitimate daughter and high priestess of Rose, who the dark elves believed in, according to the habits of the dark elves and Rose's vices, if she did not get enough blood sacrifices, Rose would directly anger everyone, and those dark elf housewives did not wait for divine punishment without sacrificing the kindness of others.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder, the dark elves are one of the main races in the underground world, and there are at least hundreds of thousands of dark elves in Vitan, if all of them start to go crazy? If the catastrophe passes, Vitan doesn't even need to rebuild.
"Your Excellency?"
"Huh? Anything else? ”
"That's right, Rehina. The Sphinx led Kaya's death, and at that time Rose cast a curse, and all the female Sphinx priests became arachnoid elves, and the status of the first family in Mosoblay City was shaky, and there was emptiness inside and outside."
"You mean Victoria, Victoria. Sphinx?
And Eliza suddenly came out from behind.
"Yes, master, Victoria has made a request to me, she should be the only priest of Rose who still maintains the form of an elf in the Sphinx family, the first family in Morsobre City, according to the tradition of the dark elves and the rules of Rose, she should be able to be directly promoted to the mistress, therefore, Victoria hopes to be able to get the support of Brimstone Mountain City and control the entire Morsobrei City. Of course, she also made a lot of promises, and those conditions were indeed very attractive, what do you mean? ”
According to Eliza's idea, I only need to pay a certain amount of military support to obtain a city adjacent to Brimstone Mountain, and I have no reason to refuse, but at this moment, I fell into deep thought, and I really hesitated.
What made me hesitate was not the thing in front of me.
"Kaya is dead, Victoria is starting to ascend, is this also the trajectory of 'history'? Could it be that the rise of the Dark Elf Empress is unstoppable? Is this also the so-called inertia of history? Is my butterfly's wings going to be corrected by history again? Is my efforts doomed to be in vain? ”
If all the qiē finally return to the starting point, then what is the point of my arrangement, for a while, the exhaustion from the depths of the soul comes up, making people feel that everything is discouraged and they don't want to do anything.
"Your Excellency?"
But a concerned greeting brought me back to my senses.
Eliza had a rare worried expression, it was the first time she had seen her master, who was always in exaggerated spirits, showing such a tired look.
"Danger, danger, isn't it just that the dead stay in this world by obsession? My biggest obsession is to change the fate of the fuck, this state is too dangerous, and it would be hilarious if I ascended to heaven right now. I shook my head, dispelling the distractions, knowing that I had accidentally gotten into the horns again.
"I just think too much, history has been changed, anyway, it's too late to start Victoria, and her character is much gentler than the queen in history, character determines fate, and she is destined to be not alone with Victoria in history. And even with my support, it would have been impossible to control the entire Dark Elves ten years ago. Perhaps, it's just fate that Victoria won't be ordinary, in this case, an elven mistress who is close to Brimstone Mountain City, and a dark elf empress who may finally reconcile with the ground, are all good things. ”
So, I nodded.
"Promise her to send a few people to take over the power left by the Sphinx Mistress now, just take over as much as possible, and come back as soon as possible if there is danger. After this matter was settled, he sent someone to help her return to the city of Morsoblay to seize power. By the way, give her this note. ”
So, I wrote it down and handed it to Eliza.
It's not a trick or a trick, it's a double insurance for a special object.
[Actually, there are some things that are hard to say and should not be said.] But the separation is imminent, and if you don't say it, it really worries about your future. You have been punished by God to become a woman, you are a priest, you should know that God punishment represents the will of the true God himself, and if the punished person takes the initiative to lift the divine punishment, it is not equivalent to a slap in the face of the true God. You should know that Rose has never been a magnanimous god, and it is useless to talk too much, so please do it yourself. 】
Victoria's eye for Adwina's belt was well known, and even though Victoria seemed to have good character, the dark elves and Priest Rose's terrible reputations made it impossible to be wary of them, even if the dark elves were still underage.
Therefore, for the sake of the safety of Koros's life, it is better to be an insurance policy, in this case, afraid of the wrath of the true god, Victoria should try to suppress this ** in her heart.
Of course, things are not so coincidental, I have what I want, every sentence on this note is true, but it is a big lie together.
Divine punishment is indeed a matter of the face of the true God, if the divine punishment of the God of Justice on the wicked is lifted, a thunderbolt of judgment will be slashed down, but Rose's situation is really special, other true gods are very cautious about the divine punishment, and they are afraid of accidentally killing innocent people.
Rose often shows miracles in the dark elf city, and there are many times when she comes to the incarnation, and the frequency of divine punishment is so high that it is like a thunderstorm in summer, and it comes from time to time, and after it comes, the rain passes and the sky is clear.
With the frequency of Rose's "busy" miracles, she can't remember how many people she has been punished by God, and I personally think that if she is really lifted, she may not know. Well, so it's true to say that God punishes the wrath of the true god, and it's true that Rose is not a magnanimous god, but forgetting to add the sentence "Rose is in a special situation" becomes a big lie, and this is still a language skill I learned from that liar in the underground prison.
I don't think Victoria can see through it, for the priest, the will of the gods is the sky, although it seems not far away, you just have to look up to see it, but in fact it is impossible to get close at all, she should know the meaning of divine punishment to the gods, as for what will happen to you after lifting divine punishment, any true God doctrine will not teach you how to lift divine punishment, nor will it tell you what you will encounter after lifting divine punishment, what is the difference between that and a blasphemer.
Well, this is also for her good, which is definitely a good thing for herself, and for this "he" who plans to return to live with the dark elves, after all, the male dark elves are no different from slaves within them.
Hey, hey, in order for them not to fight and kill each other, there is a good ending, I am easy to be a boss, can I give myself an award - "Top Ten Good Bosses Who Moved Sulfur Mountain City"?
As soon as Eliza left, a short time after a few moments of women's cheers and men's frustrated sighs could be heard outside the window, and then I took the opportunity to set the topic of next week's discussion on the necessity of normal sexual orientation for social development.
While the outside world was in chaos, I was busy at my desk, and countless pieces of information passed by Eliza, and in the end, it was up to me to decide.
"The dark elves who have lost the daughter of Rose have gone mad, desperate for more souls and blood to free them from divine punishment, and it is impossible to expect them to remember the covenant. The dragon queen and the lion emperor will not let us go, and the chaos will eventually spread to the whole city, so let's get ready, for the supremacy of the next ten years, this battle must not only be won, but also won beautifully. ”
When I had made up my mind that I would have to fight in the end, I nodded at the "secret weapon" in the room and told him to get ready for a fight.
And when I got up to prepare, I suddenly remembered a neglected treasure.
"By the way, how is Kaya's corpse?"
Yes, that treasure is Kaya's body, for necromancers, the flesh of the strong is the best material, and Kaya's body, as the daughter of Rose, flows through the blood of the true god, and it is also a treasure among the treasures, if I can get this demigod body (which is not the same thing as the demigod realm), I am sure to create an undead lord who is not inferior to any original sin.
The bystander scout shook his head.
"The corpse is gone, and those dark elves are frantically searching, leaving no trace at all, but they have not been found, it is as if the corpse has walked out on its own."
"The corpse will go on its own? Nonsense! Wait, it's a real possibility. ”
Isn't all I want to do now is let the corpse walk on its own? Now there is more than one undead lord in Vitan, and if it is other low-ranking undead archons, it will only spoil this rare demigod body, but these days, Vitan has an undead archon who has not shown up, and she has always hoped to get a perfect elven body.
"Third Archon, Heloise, the Banshee King, this is really a ** annoyance."
The ranking of the undead archons depends on strength, but the top three and the back are two different things, and some people even directly say that the back is full, just to make the top three appear less special.
The Eternal Night Emperor's subordinate Goliath can make it to the fourth, but she can never go further, that is because the first three were once the "partners" of the Eternal Night Emperor, and their relationship with the Emperor is "cooperation" rather than subordinates, which alone is enough to prove the extraordinary nature of these three undead monarchs, and from the perspective of the history of serving as the undead monarchs, they are all the predecessors of the Great Emperor.
Among them, the third-ranked banshee king Heloise was once the princess of the ancient elven empire, which was not the elven kingdom that was divided into small countries in later generations, but the king of the super empire who ruled more than seventy percent of the continent alone in the elven era, she was also called the "omniscient", in praise of her omniscience and omnipotence in the field of magic.
She is still a little aggrieved in third place, mainly because the body she used before was destroyed in the battle of the eternal night, and she doesn't want to find an ordinary body casually, so she will be the third, if she really gets Kaya's body, I'm afraid this ranking will have to come back.
"Yes, half a month ago, many people reacted to hearing the ancient elves' historical ballad 'Ragnarok', but they never found a singer, which is simply her mark, so some people speculated that the Banshee King had arrived here. That's why it turns out that six undead archons have arrived, but only five have appeared. ”
"yes, if it's her, it's really troublesome. She's not easy to deal with. My murmur was met with a nod of approval from the elven disc viewer in front of me.
"Yes, she is known for being smart, powerful, and charismatic."
"Wait! How do you know that the song is called 'Ragnarok', it is supposed to be an ancient elfish language, and not many people in all of Ash understand it!! ”
My surprised question made the elven agent in front of me smile, and she slowly lowered the mask from her face.
It was a familiar face, so familiar that I had only seen it two days ago
The white skin of the high elves began to darken, the red hair began to transform into the unique silver white of the dark elves, and the pretty face that belonged to Kaya became more mature and confident than before, the willow eyebrows were slightly raised, and the face was full of pride and confidence unique to the elves, as if a queen with a qiē was born with the capital to despise a qiē.
"Yo, it's been a long time, Xiao Yongye, how are you doing lately?"
