Chapter 941: Branch Lines and Main Lines (8)
It's right to think about it, in the future, in addition to men, she has the highest status, although men are nominally in charge of her life and death, but in her concept, men are inferior, and, when she controls the whole city, men are still her male favorites on the surface, even if the relationship between the two is reversed behind the scenes, it is only false and wrong, and Ricardo and I, the two actual controllers, cannot appear at any time, so her power will be unexpected.
The sword-wielding women, on the other hand, were much calmer, and when they woke up, they thanked Ricardo and me, but they didn't seem to complain too much about their sister for killing them—they were really numb after living in such a cruel environment for a long time.
Things have been taken care of, but we don't want to leave yet.
"Have you figured out what to say?" Ricardo turned his head and asked the black tail finger sacrifice.
"No need to explain too much...... Black Tail Finger Sacrifice was confident, "as long as there is a sacrificial vessel as proof, no one in the city dares to question what happened between us." ”
This surprised me a little, but I was relieved when I thought about it - the dark elf race has really fallen to the bones, intrigues and tricks have long been accustomed to it, and they will always live in betrayal and calculation, and there is not enough warmth between their biological sisters and direct mothers and daughters, only the desire to survive, and there is really no need to explain why the three major priests will die two such major changes, as long as the sacrificial vessels are still there and maintain the connection with the spider evil god, the people below will continue to obey them.
"It's really a simple and crude way of governing," Leo said, "but I'm afraid it's not very efficient......
"Don't you know if you see it?" I say.
At my beckoning, the Tyrannosaurus rex burned two headless corpses in one fell swoop.
In the frightened gaze of the five dark elves, Ricardo left a message: "Go back, and the next time I come, I will tell you what to do." ”
Just as all five of them breathed a sigh of relief, I took out a drop of voodoo potion and volleyed it into the throat of the Black Tailfinger Priest.
The black-tailed priest was full of horror, but the other four showed a smug smile, especially the male ......
Then, under their astonished gazes, we sank into the ground and disappeared from their view.
The five of them looked at each other, and then carefully left the place.
They slowly approached the direction of the town along the passageway, passing through the place where they had last met us, and the whipped women had a slightly reminiscent look.
At the moment, she is complacent, and although she is controlled by others, she is already the most powerful person, even surpassing her mother.
As for her mother's death, for her, it was just a normal change of power, and in their society, it was most normal to kill the usurper of the previous head of the family.
The black tail finger priest looked a little depressed, but after all, he was also the last of the three priests in the past, and his scheming and strategy far exceeded that of the four young people, and he also had his own plans.
The woman with the sword and the woman with the dagger are somewhat inseparable, but the relationship between the two, if any, does not seem to have been affected much, and the woman with the sword who has just finished the operation is still a little weak, and the woman with the dagger is still very concerned about supporting her, looking like a deep sisterhood......
Only men, who are obviously the real ones in power, are a little frustrated, and it is not difficult to understand that some time ago, they controlled three women who were high in the past, and enjoyed the male power advantage of the surface race, but they ended up fleeing in embarrassment, and almost died, and now although the situation has turned around, there is one more woman who can be controlled, but three of these four women are priests on the surface, and he can't declare his authority in person......
The five of them all have their own ghosts, and their steps are not very fast.
Then, the black tail finger priest broke the deadlock with the attitude of an old-timer and explained the plan to several juniors.
Before returning to the city, they had to speak in unison, and their rhetoric was similar to what I expected - on the surface, it was a conspiracy of the Black Tail Finger Sacrifice, she set a trap at the end of the remote passage outside the city, and the Black Earlobe Sacrifice and the Black Shoulder Sacrifice became sacrifices, and their daughters were accomplices, as for why the Black Tail Finger Sacrifice did not directly possess the sacrifice vessel of the Black Earlobe Sacrifice in the first place, but gave it to the daughter of the Black Shoulder Sacrifice, and even her own daughter inherited the Black Shoulder Sacrifice Vessel, and she was in third place...... I guess no one dares to ask such a detailed question.
In the process of discussion, the two young women have already shown their dissatisfaction with the black tail finger sacrifice, but on the surface, the three of them are quite harmonious.
After unifying the caliber, the five of them walked in the direction of the town with peace of mind.
It didn't take long for them to come across a patrol.
The patrol team was puzzled when they saw the Black Tail Finger Sacrifice walking together with the four wanted traitors, and even had the intention of doing it, but they were stopped by the Black Tail Finger Sacrifice, and then, the five people successfully suppressed the patrol and let them take their own process as temporary guards.
We followed their footsteps unhurriedly in the rock wall and walked into the so-called Nanmu Castle.
Speaking of which, the name of the city is also quite interesting.
Nanmu, whether on the main plane or on Earth, has similar characteristics, and is definitely not suitable for survival in a deep and dark dungeon, but the city is named after Nanmu, which naturally has its reasons.
The gate of the city is a cave that can accommodate two Kodo beast carts side by side, almost ten meters wide and seventeen or eighteen meters high, placed on the main plane, it is considered a stingy architectural style, but here, limited by the material of the surrounding stone walls, it seems that it is impossible to expand more, and there is no need for that.
The number of troops guarding the gate is not very large, adding up to less than fifty, of which only ten are dark elves, and eight men account for eight, only two women, but they are the bosses of eight men, and the rest, there are four "powerful" spider monsters, and the rest are all underground races domesticated and enslaved by dark elves, what cavemen, lizardmen, gray dwarves, and many races that cannot be named, between intelligent creatures and subhumans, more than half, a little smarter, is a few black goblins and dwarves, He also carried well-crafted crossbow arrows.
Behind the door is not a town, but a curved passage of the same size, and it takes two turns to reach the real city. There are also traps in the passage, which ensure that you can directly block the way out with boulders in the event of a strong invasion.
A dungeon actually has some similarities to a half-plane, such as a passage. Cities on land, there are a few gates on the city wall is a few passages, but there are also cities without city walls, then there is no way to say, it is necessary to open two city gates, if it is the kind of dangerous place built on three sides that is surrounded on three sides, there is only one exit, it is also a special case, however, whether it is a magician or a monster, they have the ability to fly, so it is more complicated to count the empty road, and the dungeon and the half-plane, there are not so many concerns, there are several entrances and exits, and it is foolproof if it is guarded, and there is no need to bear the air strike or something.
Of course, if the intruder is too strong or has skills such as retreat, that's a different story......
We fled along the rock wall, and we couldn't even find the magic trap set at the pass.
There is no Nanmu in Nanmu City, it is said to be a city, but it is actually a small town, and the scale is not very large, but after entering it, I found that it has several ways out, and many of them lead to the planting area and the mine, which is the source of income for the dark elves.
The length and width of the caves in the city are relatively the same, less than ten kilometers, and the top is two or three hundred meters high, and the glowing plants and magic props made by the dark elves around and on the cave walls can also provide lighting, but the most conspicuous and magnificent building in the city, the temple, is in a relatively dark environment.
The buildings in the city, in fact, have a little elven style, delicate and slender, the lines are crisp and neat, but the tone is more gloomy, and there are less natural decorations in the details, such as leaves, flowers, vines, etc., but there are more sharp and cruel decorations, such as sharp hooks, sharp thorns, thorns, poisonous insects, these decorations, and relatively practical trap functions.
In other words, the lifestyle of the dark elves has an elf-like elegant foundation, but it has a cruel and barbaric flavor.
Moreover, the owners of these exquisite buildings are all dark elves, and they are all used in nanmu, so it is not surprising that the origin of its name is not surprising, but the source of the material is a little strange.
And among the buildings of the dark elves, there are many low-rise buildings with different styles, needless to say, inhabited by their vassal races.
Correspondingly, the people who come and go in the city are also of different shapes, compared to the trading market or the chaotic island of the water elemental plane, although these races are more different in form, but the "style" is much more monotonous, basically they are gray underground creatures, and the slightly whiter ones are also the kind of pale that does not see the sun, as if they are formed by the long-term exposure of those underground plants that emit white light, or mushrooms......
Here, the Dark Elves, as the upper rulers, are the least numerous.
The high-spirited dark elves basically do not produce, and even if they do, they are all high-end, such as weapon enchantments, magic items and other strategic materials are their job, and more is to patrol and supervise the work of vassals and slaves.
After the five of them crossed the city gate, they were escorted all the way back to the temple by the city's armed forces similar to the guards.
The people in the temple are relatively leisurely, but in the dark elf society full of intrigue and intrigue, the people in the temple are probably not fuel-efficient lamps, and when they hear that the priest has returned, they all come out to greet him.
