"Amy woke up, and that was the eyeliner I put next to Sherman. Hawke paused for a few seconds, looking at Link's expression a little subtle, "She said that it was a night elf who attacked her. โ€

A knife that stabbed her straight to the heart, if it was a little deeper, it would kill her, and the other party deliberately let her live.

"How did they get involved?" Wasn't it just a patrol team killed by a necromancer?Link was drawn to the night elves, not paying attention to Hawke's strange expression.

"While the alliance of the undead and demons exists in name only, Aiden is in a special location. Hawke gestured to the ground, "Just below the surface, there's Elysion, the largest night elf city in the southwest. โ€

"What does this have to do with Sherman? Even if he is a lord, he is only a human lord, and the night elves who claim to be immortal will not eat this. "Lately, Link has been focusing on his professional studies and the practice of secondary talents, and his understanding of Edgar's setting is still stuck in the knowledge he sees in Riverdale.

Hawk set his sights on Jafar behind Link.

"Let me explain. The druids simply explained to Link why the Natural Alliance valued Sherman so much, and that at the end of the Empire, the royal family was incompetent and the powerful Twelve Lords became independent. Due to the non-involvement in the battle between species, it happened that Befast, the guardian of the Pillars of the Earth, had fallen, and the Natural Alliance temporarily acted as an interim agent, signing an agreement with Nyala, one of the twelve lords, and the lord at the time promised not to bring the flames of war to the Guardian Land, and the druids continued to hold remonial blessings throughout Nyala.

Hundreds of years have passed, and the shape has been transformed by the passage of time, and under the influence of the undead and mages, more and more cities have abandoned the blessed spirits and adopted more cursed spirits, and the druids have retreated to the Guardian Land, gradually cutting off contact with humans. By Sherman's grandfather's generation, in order to support the fierce war in the south, and to recruit more mercenaries and merchants, the lord of the time drove out the druids and invited the mages of Hohenheim to take charge of the Ceremonya. This angered the Coalition of Nature, and Sherman's grandfather was stripped of his lordship by the council of nobles, who had long coveted his domain, and from then on, the city of Aydin began to decline, both economically and politically.

"Although the lordship was taken away, the contract was passed down from generation to generation with the bloodline. "Nyala is protected by the Pillars of the Earth, and even if there is no druid, it is impossible for the undead to be present. โ€

"The reason why Hull is so sure that the lord is colluding with the undead is because something went wrong with the contract?" Link roughly understood what they meant.

"That's right, only with the permission of the landowner can the undead enter the borders of the Guardian Lands unimpeded. Jafar nodded, the southernmost part of the Shining Forest stretched into Nyala, and in the Silver Age, the people here were friendly with the elves, and there were no exact borders, and it was the undead who used this to invade to this day.

"What about the Night Elves, isn't their territory underground?" Clearing up the doubts about the lord and the contract, Link still didn't understand why the Night Elves were involved in this. Even if it is a territorial dispute, it is with dwarves and gnomes, who have not been in a head-on war with humans for many years.

"Although it exists in name only, the alliance is not completely broken, and as long as Frost offers help, the night elves cannot refuse. "This is exactly Hawke's biggest headache, the cobwebs are mainly to collect intelligence, and most of the members are rangers and thieves who are good at concealment, and there are only a small number of mercenaries, and they can't fight with the night elves who are the best at stealth warfare underground, not to mention the belief that both sides share - Malik, the god of shadows, if the scales of the gods are tilted slightly, the blow to the cobwebs can be described as fatal, and they can't help at all in the pursuit of Sherman.

"So you're going to quit?" Link was surprised to hear that Cobwebs believed in Malik as much as the Night Elves.

Even if the children of nature of the punishment faction only act in a way like chaos, the actual camp is still order, how can they break away from the cobwebs of the natural alliance and choose a god of the chaos camp as a faith?

"I'm sorry, but Spiderweb has worshipped Malik as the Lord God since he quit the Nature Alliance, after all, he is in charge of a Qiฤ“'s secrets in the shadows and in private. The decisions of the gods are not for mortals to speculate, and we cannot take risks. "Hawke spread his hands, it's not that he is timid and retreats, compared to the night elves, humans are destined to suffer, who made Malik a god born from the night elves.

Well, even if the cobwebs quit, I would have to stay up until dawn to know Sherman's whereabouts. Link nodded, and it was rare for Hawkken to tell directly instead of making small moves behind his back.

"One more important thing...... Hawke pulled out a scroll with soundproofing on it, and tore it back and forth when Link leaned in, "The Night Elf asked Amy to pass the word that he was looking forward to working with you again." โ€

Artis? Is he?

Link instantly thought of the only night elves he had ever come into contact with.

Isn't it a contradiction that the Night Elves are following their alliance with the undead, so why would they kill the Necromancer in Riverdale? He knew that the children of nature and the undead were rivals, and he still wanted to tell this sentence through the eyes of the cobwebs?

Looking forward to my next collaboration, what does that mean? a warning, or a trap?

Link returned to the room with a solemn face, and Paine and Yuan Ye discussed with great interest where Sherman might be hiding.

"What, there's the whereabouts of the lord?"

Link shook his head and informed the two of them about the spider web's exit to search the lord's whereabouts.

"With such an inside story, it's no wonder the guild told me to stop......" Paine was not a fool, from the withdrawal of the cobwebs to the fact that the Assassins' Guild might have ordered him to terminate the mission for the same reason. If this assumption was true, then he wouldn't be able to follow Link to find Sherman.

"You two can't go, Sherman is an expert summoner, and the night elves around him are at least expert assassins, and they are very dangerous enemies. I'm still on rookie protection, so even if I'm not their opponent, I'm not in danger of losing my life. And...... The Cult of Dawn is an extreme religious organization, and they are hostile to the Children of Nature who are in the Order, not to mention the Assassins and Bards who wander on the fringes of evil. Even if Paine hadn't offered it, Link wouldn't have allowed him to follow.

As soon as he heard that the enemy was an expert, Yuan Ye was silent. Killing monsters by leapfrogging is a technical job, and he thinks he doesn't have that ability.

"I'm afraid you can't handle it alone. Paine was worried that Link wouldn't be able to face two experts at the same time.

"Of course I'm not going alone, I'm accompanied by a druid. "Jafar has returned this time with the elite who have just been withdrawn from the northern front, and he will enter the underground waterways to capture Sherman just after Link's spell slot is reset.

"That being said, you'd better be careful. Paine's admonition made Link's face warm.

The boots on his feet were the Assassins' Guild's lost relic, the gold coins of luck. Regardless of the rewards for completing the quest, just because it was an Assassin's exclusive relic, the promotion of Paine was a qualitative leap. But he can't give this holy relic to Paine right now, it's not that Link is greedy, the relic has no effect on non-believers, what he cares about is the fate spirit wrapped around his boots, which is not only related to his main quest, but also related to Su Wen, who was known as Rhodes before his disappearance, is the leader of the Shadow Thorn Guild. This holy relic, maybe Su Wen used it. It's about friends, and Link can't help but care. After careful consideration, he decided to wait until the investigation was clear and he found a way to absorb the spirits before giving the relics to Paine.

When the first rays of sunlight appear on the horizon, it's time for the spells of the Order faction to reset. Link pushed open the back door of the tavern, and Jafar had been waiting there for a long time, with only pedestrians on the street.

"Now their whereabouts. "There was a dark well near the tavern that led to the sewers, and Jafar lifted the manhole cover to reveal a black passageway.

Sherman can't be found, but it's not difficult to find the night elves, the perception of the chaotic camp of the Dawn Sect has always been keen, as long as you follow them, you won't have to worry about finding Sherman.

Link reminds Jafar not to fall for the Night Elves' trick to divert the tiger. The Dawnists can sense the opposing factions, and the Chaos Ones, whom they see as enemies, know that they can use this to lure and disperse their opponents to defeat each one. Fighting creatures with dark vision in the pitch black underground, humans who rely on vision are inferior.

Glancing at the jittering ladder that swirled down, Link held up the torch that had just been lit, "I'll clear the way ahead." โ€

"Your Excellency......" Jafar could speak before Link raised his hand to stop him.

"I don't have dark vision and have to rely on light to see things. Instead of letting you walk in front and be exposed, it is better to pretend that I am the only one. โ€

"But the night elves can see ......"

"Heat sources, I know, they can see the heat coming out of the organisms. As druids, you have some way of hiding yourself. It's worth wasting even a spell slot, our opponents are stealth-savvy masters, but that doesn't mean they won't be counted. โ€

"I see. Jafar nodded at the other five druids who hadn't spoken from beginning to end, their bodies quickly turning to a faint gas.

This trick is Gacos's gasification technique, and turning into air naturally has no temperature, and even night elves with dark vision are difficult to appear.

Link didn't deliberately hide his movements, and used the tree skin technique to defend himself, and swaggered down to the dark well with a torch. He did this to cover up for the other six druids, and no matter who he encountered, the attention of the other party would be focused on him first.
