Chapter 42: Watt Alheim [Third Update]

Watt Alheim, home to the Dark Elves.

The thick yellow clouds are firmly locked in the sky, and neither the sunshine that warms life during the day nor the starlight praised by the poet at night has never shone on this land.

Barren earth and rocks are everywhere, and both the sky and the earth exude a desolate aura that makes the living desperate.

In the distance, a large, towering image reaches into the sky, abruptly resembling a hallucination of the person who sees it after a mental disorder.

"Carrela", the ancestral tree revered by the dark elves.

In the Dark Elves, "Carrela" means "an illusion that can never be reached", and it is.

The above-ground part of "Carreleila" is a spectacle of Watt Alheim, a mirage-like image.

Its body is underground, where the Dark Elves live.

Passing through the stone pass, which was definitely not good for senses, the chief guard of the "Frost Giant Royal Court" headed towards the belly of the earth.

The dark tunnels are extremely tortuous, and you have to pass through many high and low grottoes along the way.

It's easy for outsiders to get lost in this complex terrain, but Coviru is not one of them.

He corrected his direction along the branches, curling his head from time to time, or avoiding the narrow caverns that could not accommodate him through.

Carreleira is an ancient tree that grows towards the belly of the earth, and it is also the foundation of the dark elves that can live under the rocks......

As Coviru got closer to the center of the earth, the dark elves gradually appeared in the aftermath of his vision.

Their bodies were erratic, their expressions numb, like ghosts.

The chief of the guard ignored them, and they had no intention of paying attention to Coveru.

At this moment, a dark elf walking opposite to him walked towards Coveru, and the chief of the guard cursed in secret, and turned to walk the other way.

The area shrouded in "Carreleila" is extremely strange, where it is forbidden to explore outside, prohibit spatial invasion, prohibit energy derivation, and even prohibit death!

With the help of the Ancestral Tree's weirdness, the Dark Elves have developed unique technologies, especially the "Black Hole Grenade", which can only be developed and manufactured in this unique environment.

There have been many civilizations that have tried to copy this technology, but in the end, unsuppressed derivative black holes have pushed them to the abyss of destruction.

The dark elves who live here all year round do not have to worry about their longevity, because they may not live to the end of their lives, and they may have merged with the ancestral tree under the influence of the accumulation of time.

So, outsiders in Vat Alheim must be careful, as you can't be sure if you're coming across a real Dark Elf or a ghost that has become compatible with the Ancestral Tree.

As for the difference, no one can understand.

......

I don't know how long it took, but Koviru arrived at his destination.

It was a hole forty miles wide and thousands of feet high, and a huge city stood in it.

Outside the cavern was still a dark and mossy glow, but the city was illuminated by magical lamps.

The chief guard quietly looked at the city that exuded elegance under the light of magical energy, and did not rush in.

"Follow me—"

A dark elf with a tall nose and pointed ears appeared in front of Keviru and led him towards the Chief's Mansion.

The dark elves they encountered as they walked through the streets all ignored the two of them, indifferent to the ghosts they encountered in the cave plank path.

It is said that the way in which the father-killer Malekith ruled Wat-Alheim was so unusual that Koviru could understand it just by looking at the inseparable people and the living buildings of the frost giants.

You know, the Dark Elves aren't inherently sorcery-like and powerful Frost Giants, they're a bit more tech-focused than Asgard.

But the city in front of him was not much different from what the Giant Court had seen and heard, and he couldn't see the level of technology contained in the other party's super weaponry at all.

......

The leader of the dark elves was on a cliff-like platform, and it was impossible for ordinary observers to see the true face even if they were lying on the ground, let alone looking up.

But that didn't include the Frost Giant, especially since he had completely freed himself from the spells he had used to shrink his body, and his eyes were already at the knees of Malekith on the cliff.

The leader of the Dark Elves was greatly offended by the sight of the Torch, and after motioning for his men to take the ice ball from Coveru's hand, he dispersed and ordered him to leave.

Coveru was not stubborn, he understood what this place was, and he also understood the strangeness of "Carreella", and he had no interest in staying here and turning into an unknown ghost.

Seeing that the king's request had been fulfilled, he left the place without any intention of stopping.

......

"See you again, Malekith!"

After the leader of the Dark Elves crushed the puck of ice, wisps of white cold gathered in the air, eventually turning into Laufey's illusory figure.

"You're not looking for me to catch up, are you?"

Malekith's voice was dry and hoarse, with a slight whistling coming from his trachea.

"I'm here to work with you!"

Laufey didn't beat around the bush and said his purpose straightforwardly.

"Asgard?"

"Yes!"

"We?"

"Yes!"

Malekith stopped talking, frowning in thought.

Lau Fei didn't urge, just looked at each other quietly, his expression was flat.

"Are you sure you're going to deal with Odin?"

After a moment, the leader of the dark elves looked up and asked his doubts.

Both the "Frost Giants" and the "Dark Elves" have been at war with Asgard more than once, but war is not child's play, there must always be reasons and interests in it.

"Do you know 'Odin's Sleep'?"

Laufey spoke slowly, telling him what he knew about "Odin's Sleep" without concealing it.

"Heh," Malekith sneered and shook his head, "you're not going to put your hopes on this vague rumor, are you?"

"Could it be that it was just a lie painstakingly devised by Odin?

"It's a lie, so what?"

The red pupils calmly met Malekith's eyes, and Laufey asked rhetorically, as if he was really puzzled.

"It's a lie......"

A mocking smile froze on his face, and Malekith looked serious, and the whole person returned to his previous silence.

The King of the Frost Giants is right, what if it's a lie.

They are preparing for war, not some trickery that requires preconditions.

The dark elves and the frost giants joined forces, so they naturally wouldn't be afraid of Asgard.

As for Odin, it would be best if he was really limited by "Odin's Sleep", if not, if he and Laufey joined forces, it may not be impossible to let him fall into eternal sleep.

What's more, as the dominant and powerful side of the war, they have achieved tactical goals and obtained vested interests, and they can judge the follow-up of the war in time according to the direction of the situation, and they are far less passive than Asgard.

"Yes!"

Malekith nodded slowly, acceding to Laufey's request for an alliance.
