172. Assassination
That night, Serena was the first to leave the Elven Court. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Originally, I knew that here in the forest, the dark elves actually had three base camps because of the division of forces. However, after Rottikabas unified the entire Forest of Knowledge, he very simply cut down the World Tree of the Vengeance Party, and then gave the heart of the tree to the original Tree of Life of the Eternal Night Party, helping it grow into a level 5 tree of life, which was the only way to gain control of the entire tree of life in one fell swoop.
Because of the Forest of Knowledge, only one Tree of Life is needed from now on.
That's why Rhotikabas has built a stronghold around the tree of life, called the Elven Court, in order to restore the glory of the ancient elves - but in fact, before that, the Blood Elves also called their territory the Elven Court. However, unlike the Rotikabas, which is based on the Tree of Life, the Elven Court of the Blood Elves is a huge fortress castle made of black magic stones.
Moreover, compared to the Elven Royal Court of the Blood Elves, the Elven Royal Court of the Forest is still under construction, and it may take decades before it is truly completed. So in fact, Rottikabas is preparing to attack the blood elves, in addition to completely destroying the blood elves, a larger part of the reason is to occupy the elven court of the blood elves and serve as the capital of the temporary dark elf clan.
Sean was noncommittal on this.
After all, the life span of the elves is extremely long, and for them, this kind of construction time of several decades is probably equivalent to the few years that the human world says.
Of course, it takes such a long construction time, in addition to the fact that there are relatively few elves engaged in this kind of labor activities, and the bigger reason is that the elves generally don't like this kind of labor work, and they can work for about one or two hours a day, which is considered very diligent. Moreover, the elves are a hedonistic race, and they will definitely need a luxurious stronghold before the elven court that knows the forest can be built.
Therefore, there are many comprehensive reasons, which leads to the fact that blood elves and dark elves cannot coexist.
After Serena's departure, Rotikabas, who had been mobilized and prepared for three days, also took with him nearly two-thirds of the troops of the Forest.
Unlike the concept of ethnic groups in the surface world, the underworld is a pyramid survival society that pays more attention to the law of the naked jungle.
Here, the weak will unconditionally submit to the strong, and the strong will naturally bring strong shelter to the weak. If one day, a strong man cannot give enough shelter to the weak who submit to him, then these weak people will surrender to other strong people, and completely overthrow the rule of the original strong - in this regard, especially ****, it is the three races of demons, spider demons, and dark elves.
After Rottikabas slaughtered all the Dark Elves who were unwilling to submit to him, although this move did put the Dark Elf race in a relatively weakened group, but in exchange, the entire Dark Elf race had an unprecedented high degree of cohesion. As long as Rottikabas does not die, then the entire dark elf race will never be in turmoil and rebellion, which is the concept formed by the strong system of the underground world for tens of thousands of years.
It is precisely based on this that Roti Kabas dared to take so many dark elves to attack the elven court of the blood elves.
If it were in the surface world, a king who had just achieved dominance by bloody and violent means would never dare to immediately launch a new war with half his troops. Because countless historical facts have proved that few new kings who dare to do this have a good end: if everything goes well in the war, then it is better to say that the war must be blocked, and it will not be possible to achieve victory in a short time to calm the morale of the army, then once the rear is in chaos, the result can be imagined.
After Rottikabas left, no one bothered Sean.
Although there are still many dark elves left in the forest of deep understanding, in fact, except for the guards of the original reform forces left by Rottikabas, there is only one legendary powerhouse in charge, and the rest of them are dark elves who have little combat power or are not good at fighting. So naturally, no one will disturb Sean's recuperation, which makes Sean quite happy and relaxed.
In the blink of an eye, another week passed.
Originally, Sean thought that in two weeks, his injury should be almost healed.
But now, three weeks have passed, including the week he was in a coma, and Sean finds that his injuries still haven't healed. However, compared to a week ago, Sean is now able to roll over and sleep, and even get out of bed to exercise a little.
"It seems to be a lot more difficult than I imagined to recover." Sean gently rubbed the scorch marks on his chest and abdomen, although the pain was slightly reduced, the pain was still very obvious, "But at least for now, it can be regarded as a real clamp to restrain the continuous deterioration of the injury." If you just want to be healed......"
Sean's brow furrowed slightly, and he suddenly realized that it was difficult to calculate the exact healing time.
"It seems that we will have to raise it for at least another month or so." Sean sighed helplessly, "It's only a month, probably the fiercest moment of the battle on the Rottikabas side...... If the Blood Elves' defensive strength is as weak as expected, it is very likely that the winner will be decided in one fell swoop. ”
Before, the Blood Elves sent people into the Forest of Profound Knowledge, trying to trouble Sean and Rotikabas, but they brought several super strong people over. In that war, if there was no Imoku, Rotikabas really had no hope of winning, of course, in the end, if it wasn't for Sean being seriously injured, causing Imoku to kill all those super strong, legendary powerhouses and elites, now Rotikappas would not have the courage to attack the blood elf's court.
"I don't know what happened to Imoku on the other side of the surface, it's been a week and he hasn't come back yet, could it be that something happened on the surface?"
This is not to be fooled by Sean's thoughts.
Sean is very worried about the situation in the surface world, otherwise he would not have insisted on letting Imoku report his safety even though he was seriously injured. Of course, in accordance with the international practice of reporting good news and not bad news, Sean did not write many things in his letter, and he also specifically explained to Imoku that if there is any trouble on the surface, he must help Cecilia solve it first before he can come back.
So at this moment, Imoku, a super powerhouse, has been going to the surface world for a week, and he hasn't come back yet, so Sean naturally thinks about it more.
Of course, in fact, the current surface world does have a lot of trouble for the Void Empire.
It's just that these troubles are not caused by others coming to trouble the Void Empire, but by the Void Empire looking for other people's troubles: the war with the tide of death; the war with the Duchy of Rembell; and the undercurrents between the Empire of St. Joles and so on.
After the appearance of Imoku allowed the Void Empire to completely quell the internal undercurrent disputes, this behemoth finally completely erupted with the kind of terrifying energy that belonged to the imperial level - in a week, more than three-quarters of the territory of the Kingdom of Gnes had completely fallen, and the entire kingdom was already in the process of fragmentation.
And this is the reason why Imoku did not return to the underworld.
It's just that these situations are not known to Sean for the time being.
At this moment, he was still speculating whether Cecilia and they were in trouble in the surface world. It's just that this kind of speculation has no other benefit than making Sean's mood more heavy and uncomfortable, so after a while, he can only force himself to calm down.
Before seizing the Abyss Path of the Giovanni clan, no matter how anxious Sean was, it was meaningless.
And the Giovanni clan, one of the thirteen clans of the blood clan, is it so easy to break?
Sean, who calmed down, soon continued to lie back on the bed and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
Soon, there was a knock on the door, and with Sean's permission, the door was quickly opened, and the smell of food wafted in.
The tree hole has a special person arranged by Roti Kabas to be in charge of serving, and three meals a day will be brought over, and if Sean usually needs anything, he can also call the servants over through the rattle. Therefore, Sean generally deduces the time of this time by the time of the servant's delivery.
This is the third delivery of the day, which means that it is already nightfall.
With the help of the servant, Sean quickly finished his dinner - although the dishes seemed to be quite rich, it was clear that the dark elves couldn't come up with any new tricks, so they kept coming and going: croissants, steaks, fruit and vegetable salad, and soup.
Although it is indeed quite greasy to eat too many of these things, it is indeed relatively fast in terms of nutritional replenishment and recovery.
After the servant left, Sean closed his eyes and rested.
It's not that he has to sleep, it's just that he has nothing to do when he's idle, and his current physical condition is relatively bad, and it's obviously not suitable for getting out of bed to exercise, so it's far less simple than sleeping. Of course, Sean didn't really sleep with his eyes closed, but continued to refine his swordsmanship in his mind, after all, with the deduction of the Black King, as his strength gradually improved, many swordsmanship skills could actually continue to improve and become more powerful.
"Dad......" The voice of the Black King suddenly sounded in Sean's head, interrupting Sean's deduction.
"What......" Sean was about to ask, but his consciousness stopped, because when he came to his senses, he sensed a strange fragrance in the room.
The scent was not pungent, but rather had a calming effect, and with just a few breaths, Sean felt that his mind seemed to slow down a lot. But soon, this feeling of mental stagnation disappeared from Sean's body, and instead made Sean become vigilant and his body began to tense - he knew that it was his body's toxin immune function at work, otherwise he would have fallen into the lethargic effect of mental retardation at this moment.
This scent is supposed to be a means similar to sleep.
An enemy has infiltrated the Elven Court!
That was Sean's first reaction.
His eyes opened slightly, and he glanced through the window for a quick glance. Although it is difficult to tell whether it is day or night in the Forest of Knowledge, Sean has lived in the Forest of Depth for so long, and he has more or less some of Rottikabas's teaching skills, although he can't accurately divide the time, but the approximate time period, he can still judge.
At this moment, it should be three or four o'clock in the morning, which happens to be the time when a person is most tired.
Sean remembers that after dinner, he began to close his eyes and deduce swordsmanship, which seemed to him to be just a blink of an eye, but he didn't expect that many hours had passed. If it weren't for the Black King's reminder, Sean was addicted to his own swordsmanship deduction, coupled with this strange fragrance of addiction, I'm afraid he would really be planted here today.
Soon, however, there was a faint smell of blood wafting through the air.
This smell of blood was almost faint under the cover of the strange scent, but Sean was the executioner who had killed countless people after all, so he still let him catch a little bit of blood. Of course, judging from this simple detail, Sean also knew that his "guest" was absolutely extraordinary: because only a very small wound could make the smell of blood almost faint.
And to make the wound small enough and fatal enough, this is not something that ordinary people can do.
The door was quickly opened.
A black figure quickly flashed in from outside the door, and if it weren't for Sean's sharp eyes, it would have been difficult for him to even spot this figure. And what's even more subtle is that the moment this black shadow dodges in, it can actually close the door again, and it won't even make a sound.
This kind of silent skill can be mastered by only one race in the entire underground world.
The Demon Spawn.
A demon descendant who specializes in assassination.
However, Sean's tense body gradually relaxed after seeing this black figure. Because he already knew the strength of the comer, he must have been afraid of being discovered by the legendary powerhouse sitting here, so he sent a Golden Realm powerhouse with a slightly lower sense of existence over - after all, this Elven Royal Court under construction now, except for those who have no ability to fight, there is only one legendary powerhouse, and the others are all people from the Golden Realm and the Silver Realm.
If it is a legendary powerhouse or a Sanctuary powerhouse, the breath fluctuation will be more obvious, and it will be easy to be discovered by the legendary powerhouse in charge.
And if it is a strong person in the Golden Realm, then even if it occasionally exudes a trace of momentum, it is very in line with the current situation of the Elven Royal Court: there is only silver and gold, and they are all responsible for guarding Sean's tree hole safety, even if the legendary powerhouse senses it, he will not say anything. Of course, the reason why the lower-level silver masters were not sent over must also be because the silver masters' strength was too weak.
This Demon Descendant is also a rather cautious person.
When he entered the room, he didn't act rashly, but waited in the room with bated breath for a full twenty minutes. Sean believed that in addition to judging the environment and traps, the other party was probably waiting for the effect of the strange fragrance that escaped in the room to take effect.
This can't help but make Sean sigh once again about the silver body he has, and the golden body that is about to evolve and transform.
No footsteps could be heard, but the figure had waited for more than twenty minutes before finally starting to walk slowly towards the point where Sean was sleeping.
His movements were very gentle, moving forward step by step, and the whole person seemed very cautious, and even stopped from time to time to continue to observe his surroundings to see if there were any things or traps that he had not noticed before. Judging from the superb skills displayed by this person, as long as such a person does not fall, it is only a matter of time before he breaks through to the legendary realm.
However, with a distance of about twenty paces, it took the demonic assassin nearly two minutes to get in front of Sean.
His right hand shook slightly, and a dagger that still shone with an extremely deep black glow even in this dark room slipped into his palm.
I saw the other party holding the dagger tightly, and then slowly moved to Sean's heart, and whispered, "This is from Dorne. Greetings from His Excellency Giovanni. ”
The next moment, his right hand suddenly exerted force, the momentum on his body dissipated slightly, and the short dagger stabbed directly towards Sean's heart.
Only in this moment of exertion, the momentum on his body was emanated, but it was only for a moment, after completing the acceleration of the burst of power, the momentum on his body suddenly retracted and disappeared completely, and it was really as weird as a flash in the pan. If it weren't for the kind of legendary powerhouse who specializes in reconnaissance and even puts the entire territory into the scope of surveillance all the time, it would be extremely difficult to find such a demon killer.
This, perhaps, is why Sean's enemies hired this demon-descended killer.
It's just that this demon-born killer's explosive power is fast and fast, but Sean's speed is not slow at all - or rather, under the interference of Sean's use of the power of the laws of time and space, only this demon-born killer will mistake his speed for very fast.
But in fact, in this world, there are only a few legendary peak powerhouses who want to compete with Sean for speed.
With the strength of this Golden Realm powerhouse, even if Sean has now reduced his strength by half, he is still not a weak person who can be slaughtered by the other party.
Therefore, the moment the assassin's hand burst out, Sean's left hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the opponent's right wrist - with Sean's strength after several soul enhancements, the demonic assassin's right hand was unable to move at all after being pinned down by Sean.
His face instantly showed a look of disbelief and panic: "This ...... You ......"
Sean's face showed a smile, although this smile seemed weak, but Sean's amazingly bright eyes brought greater spiritual shock to the other party: "Donne. Giovanni? …… Oh, I didn't go to him for trouble, he kept coming to me for trouble. But it's a pity, if you have the strength of the Median Sacred Realm and use the power of the law to compete with me, it will be difficult for me to achieve this level, but it's a pity that you only have the strength of the Golden Realm. ”
The Demon Slayer's face turned pale, and he kept trying to break free of Sean's left hand. But Shaun's left hand was like an iron hoop, not to mention breaking free after being trapped, and he couldn't even move the position of his right hand, or even let the dagger in his right hand stab down an inch.
After two ineffective struggles, the Demon Slayer's face froze, and his right hand suddenly turned into a fist, and the sharp fingertips exposed on his nails instantly stabbed Shaun's throat like a sharp dagger.
But this time, Sean didn't even move, looking at the demon killer with a look of contempt and mockery.
"Ding!"
There was a burst of sparks.
The Demon Killer looked at the broken fingertips of his right hand in horror, and the intense pain made him know that his right hand was completely useless. And following the movement of his gaze, he suddenly saw that a piece of silver scale armor appeared in the place that was originally listed as a key point by him, and it was the scale armor that completely blocked his nirvana.
"I've fought with you demons a lot of times, and you only come and go in a few sets, and it's not difficult to guard against it after you get acquainted." Sean sneered, and at the same time, his left hand broke hard, directly breaking the right hand of the demon killer.
In this way, the hands of this demon killer were completely destroyed by Sean in an instant! (To be continued.) )
