Chapter 45: Witnessing the Legend
Flames lit up in the city of Parnascens, gradually converging around the Parliament Tower. The first to arrive were the Drow guards patrolling the city, and these guards belonged to the various Drow families, but Saldardo's family members were few and far between, and most of them were left with only a few old and sick people.
Immediately after the arrival of these guards, the towers in the city began to stir, and the core members of the major families began to move. The dark elves who arrived later were mixed with a handful of gorgeously dressed female elves, who were descendants of the six major families and the core strength of the dungeon.
Although four of the patriarchs of the Seven Great Families died, the Archon Wendini Lustina was fine, and the change of power in these families went extremely smoothly. Wendini reveals her political wisdom as the patriarch of the First House and the archon of the dungeon.
In addition to the Saldardo family, which was empty, she let the eldest daughter of the other three families who lost their patriarch inherit the position of patriarch, and used tradition to avoid the internal friction caused by the previous competition for patriarchs in these families.
In the ranking of the old family, Wendini did not decide the ranking order of the family at the first time. Instead, a counterinsurgency decree was issued, declaring the Saldardo family to be traitors. Panasins' new ranking of the seven families will be determined by their next attack on the Saldardo family.
In fact, now that three of the seven elven patriarchs are dead, Wendini completely designates the families of the other two patriarchs as the second and third families. The two elven patriarch families who died in the ground floor hall were the fourth and fifth families, knocking the original third emperor howling family down to sixth, and selecting a small family in the city to replace the Saldardo family to become the seventh, and regrouping the seven families.
However, although the goddess priest with divine power is the soul of a family, it cannot represent the strength of the entire family. The goddess priest is favored by the queen of the spider god, and Parnasins can only have seven goddess priests with different families, and after inheriting the position of patriarch, the new elven patriarch will soon become the goddess priest.
Forcing the family rankings will only lead to more family ranking battles for Panassines in the future, which is the last thing Wendini wants. And once the rankings of the other families are established, the lower-ranked families will inevitably slack off in battle, and the Lustina family will need to invest in their own armed forces.
And now, by using the family ranking to tempt civilians from other families, the Lustina family can consume less family power. Wendini, who has the right to command, can naturally consume the Drow family whose patriarchs have died in disguise in the battle, so that the other two patriarchs who have helped her can get the greatest benefit, win their support, and eliminate the power struggle after the war to the greatest extent.
In just over ten minutes, in front of the council tower, there was a concentration of black and suppressed drow elves. At the front of the line stood the female elves of the six major families, all of whom were core members of their respective families.
Xu Mo sat quietly on the eaves of a tower, anxiously watching the situation change. At this point, he couldn't intervene, and could only hope that Wendini would integrate the armed forces of Parnassings City as soon as possible and set off to support Shepis and the others.
The Skeletons have decided to leave the mushroom territory and begin the pursuit of the two top team members who are besieging them. It wasn't the interests that made Shepis make this decision, but the Skeletons' decision to avenge the death of several of their companions. Perhaps this decision would cause the Skeleton Regiment to suffer heavy casualties again, but Xu Mo understood their feelings and did not object to the Skeleton Regiment's actions.
Looking at the bustling crowd below, Xu Mo focused his gaze on a lonely figure. As one of the main heroes in rescuing Wendini, Arrons has been pushed out of the inner circle by the descendants of the Lustina family at this time, and looks alone.
Rustina's martial arts chief looked calm, and stood silently in a dimly lit corner, watching her sisters surround Wendini and compete for favor. For the dark elves, the male members of the family are only servants and tools for succession, and even the elven rangers with excellent martial arts skills are also excluded from the inner circle of domination.
Arlons' rescue of Wendini was only out of a sense of responsibility to his mother, and he did not expect Wendini's attention and favor. The Dark Elves have a long-standing tradition that cannot be improved by a single rescue operation.
"Arrons, how long will it take for them to gather their team and set out to support us!" A whisper rang in Arlons' ears.
"Your Excellency Shadow Dancer, haven't you left yet?" Arlons turned his head to look at Xu Mo behind him in surprise, "You know, my mother ......"
"I know, but she can't catch me!" Xu Mo chuckled, "If I want to leave, no one here can stop me!" ”
"Your Excellency, you better go, some dark magic can imprison space, it's too dangerous for you to stay here!" Arlons furrowed his brows worriedly.
"Call me Cole!" Xu Mo said indifferently, "It is rumored on the surface that the dungeon's Zhuo Er is insidious and cunning, and he has broken his promise. But I can't see any of this in you, you really don't look like a drow! ”
"Is that a compliment?" Arrons shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Lord Cole, do you know why I saved Wendini Lustina? ”
"Isn't it because she's your mother?" Xu Mo's eyes flashed, slightly surprised.
"Although the dark elves do not live as long as the surface elves, they still have a natural lifespan of hundreds of years. Our drow has a very weak concept of seniority, and male elves who cannot use divine magic are regarded as slaves and inoculation tools. The word mother has no meaning to Drow! Arrons sighed slightly.
"Actually, in addition to my sisters, I have seven brothers, but I am the only one who survives! The dungeons are too under-resourced, the infant survival rate is low, and the female babies are well cared for, while the male elves are not one out of ten. ”
"You don't want Pannasins' plan to cooperate with the surface forces to be ruined this time?" Xu Mo is such a smart person, Arlons just mentioned it from the side, and he suddenly realized.
"Yes, if the Saldardor family is allowed to succeed, then it will be impossible for the surface forces to trust Panasin anymore, and there will be no cooperation between the two sides!" Arrons muttered, "With the resources provided by the forces on the surface, Parnasins will be able to survive more newborns, or one day walk to the surface." ”
"Zhuo ...... who wants to walk on the ground" Xu Mo smiled slightly, "Arlons, you are very special!" ”
"Cole, please don't make fun of me, I know it's ridiculous!" Arrons' swarthy face flushed slightly, and he said in a sneering voice.
"No, Arrons, you're mistaken!" Xu Meng said sincerely, "I didn't make fun of you, we can enter the underground world, why can't you go to the ground!" ”
"But...... But we are Drow! Arrhon muttered dumbfounded, "I've seen in dungeon books that the intelligent creatures on the surface see us as representatives of evil, and that the sun burns our skin, making Drow lose his night vision and ability to fight, and never get the Spider Queen's favor again." ”
"The ground is not the realm of the Queen of the Spider God, what Drow has lost is only the belief in divine arts, and the martial arts you have are your own strength!" Xu Mo smiled and said, "As for what surface creatures think of Drow, why should you care. As long as your will is strong enough, no one can take away your right to live in the surface world. ”
"But...... I don't have any friends on the ground! Arrons' gaze darkened slightly.
"Parnasins doesn't have any friends with you, and even if you save Wendini this time, they'll still treat you like a slave!" Xu Mo patted Arrons on the shoulder and encouraged, "But the surface world is different, I believe that as long as you still have the kindness and strength you have now, you will definitely be able to find your partner on the ground!" ”
"Really?" Arlons' eyes lit up, and he suddenly said with some embarrassment, "Lord Cole, will we become friends?" ”
"Of course, Arrons, it's my pleasure!" Xu Mo smiled sincerely.
"Thank you, Lord Cole!" Arlons' eyes flashed with a strange light, and he bowed solemnly, "I'll go back and pack up and prepare some food for the journey!" ”
"Aren't you going to get on the ground now?" Xu Mo's eyes widened and he said in surprise.
"Well, I've had this idea for a long time, but I haven't been able to make up my mind, thank you for giving me courage!" Arlons winked at Xu Mo slyly, and said softly, "If you leave the dungeon normally, you will definitely be hunted down." Now is the perfect time to leave Parnassins, no one will notice the disappearance of a slave in the middle of a war! ”
"Lord Cole, get out of here! They seem to be about to finish their discussions, don't worry about Breeland's team, there is a teleportation circle between Panassin and the Dragon Crystal Vein, and they will soon be able to get the support of the dungeon! Arlons couldn't contain his excitement.
Looking at Arrons, who was leaving in a hurry, Xu Mo smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn't expect that his words would cause the Lustina family to lose a martial arts master. It seemed that he would not be able to show his face in front of Wendini again when the war was over, or the cunning elf would surely eat him alive.
However, Xu Mo had an inexplicable premonition in his heart, perhaps he had witnessed the birth of a legendary figure today. Dark elves who want to take to the ground and embark on an adventurous career...... Arrons Lustina!
"Old K, where are you?" Just as Xu Mo sighed, the voice of Xue Pis came from the soul imprint.
