Chapter 488: Haze
6 days ago, in the Wild Canyon. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"What did you call me for?"
An elf with deep eyes, dressed in a dark green robe, walked into a cave covered in dust.
Unlike the scenery outside the cave, there is a wild canyon of loess, with some low conifers growing here and there, and the inside of the cave is covered with pure black volcanic ash.
In a wave of hot fire that could suffocate elves, a shadow stepped out of the darkness.
The red, steel-like eyes stared straight at the elf.
"Collius, you're here"
The elven prince's right shoulder was empty, and it was ripped off by the rampaging psychic Liu Xiaoqing when he was fighting against Elice Heranna.
"Hurry up and say something"
The elf was very impatient, because he was bound by a covenant, so he had to come to see Sluka Sna, which made the noble elven prince very uncomfortable.
Especially, the dark shadow in front of him was hiding in the cave, and the volcano-like flames all over his body had become sporadic and could only make occasional popping sounds.
Sruka looked weak.
Although Corlius was afraid that this would be a trick used by the dragon to test him, it really made him feel disgusted to see the dragon's lifeless appearance.
The reason why he made a pact with such a monster in the first place was not because the dragon had unattainable power.
But now Sruka has become a sinister creature who only hides in the shadows, letting the Satie chieftains, cavemen, and Krakens do things for him.
The young Chief Satie did not understand what the dragon was up to.
But if he is allowed to seize the opportunity, he will definitely not be at the mercy of this dragon again.
Instead of answering Corlius' question right away, Sluka ...... The fiery red eyes moved down slightly, looking at Corlius' empty sleeves.
"You...... Hungry for revenge"
"Right and Wrong"
"So now, here's your chance"
"Oh?"
Ever since he stepped into the cave, the choking ash and unpleasant shadows had been disgusting to Corlius, and now he finally heard something that would make him happy.
"My minion Padana trapped the 'Dawn Volcano' in the enchantment"
"Isn't there no part of me in this scene?"
"Not necessarily, just now, I infiltrated Padanna's barrier and was defeated by them"
Defeated?
Sluka Sna was defeated by an elf girl?
Corlius sneered, trying to find out if what the dragon had said was true or not.
"So what should I offer to heal the wounded heart of my most powerful ally?"
"Don't test me, failure is inevitable"
Sruka showed a little emotion, and the flames in the cavern began to roll, as if the dead were struggling to rekindle.
"They have the help of witches and Tolmange"
"Witches?" and Tolmanger?"
Corlius didn't know what Sruka was talking about, but he could probably imagine that Eliherna had the protection of powerful allies even in the human world.
"Moreover, Dawn Volcano and her psychic medium have become extremely powerful"
"Oh?"
Chief Saty's prince was unimpressed by this, and in his opinion, the dragon was just disgusting him.
"So when you say that my chance for revenge doesn't just mean 'you failed to kill Eleherana', do you?"
"Of course not"
As soon as Sluka raised his hand, a ball of flame came out of his palm, tumbling like a balloon of water, but not rising.
Out of the flames came the sound of the elf girl talking.
"No, no, no, the magic is very delicately disguised, as far as I know, it is too far from the style of the old grandfathers in the White Wooden Tower"
"You mean our White Wood Elves in Tolmang, they ......"
The sneer on Corlius' face became more and more apparent.
"I haven't heard of it, it turns out that dragons are also interested in eavesdropping"
Suddenly, the prince of the Satie chieftain understood Sruka's intentions.
"They're teleporting back?"
"Yes, the witches who helped them have teleported away, and they will return to this side of the world."
"But...... Their anchor magic will teleport them directly to the Dawn Mountains, so aren't we as desperate as ever?"
"For you, it is"
The implication of Sruka is that he has a way of making a completely different situation.
"What's your idea?"
"I can use my flame to create a storm between the two worlds, temporarily interfering with teleportation magic"
What Sluka said seemed almost impossible to Kirlius, but considering that this powerful creature could even be restrained by witches for their own use......
"And then?"
"Then Elice Heranna will consider going back to this world through the Aurora Portal."
Corlius turned and left.
The plan has been clarified, and although the teleportation magic cannot be captured, the landing point of the Aurora Portal is fixed.
Only a handful of large tree stumps can accomplish this mission.
Deploy an ambush at all possible landing points, and you can avenge the severed arm!
6 days later, the Dawn Mountains.
"Indeed, her place is not in Tolmange"
Ellie closed her eyes and focused all her energy on searching for Timia's whereabouts.
Thanks to the magic spell bestowed by the Dawn Mountains and Tolmango, the two friends were able to roughly perceive each other's location.
It was supposed to be an insurance measure to prevent military miscalculations and conflicts, but it was unexpectedly used to search for the kidnapped princess.
"This is...... To the northwest, far, far away"
Ellie opened her eyes and let her fingers follow the sensations, sliding from the magic sandbox.
In this area.
Ellie's finger pointed to the northern center of the Wild Canyon.
"Wait"
Mespil's face suddenly became solemn.
"This is where the dragon is lurking in the information we got."
A wave of anger burned in Ellie's heart.
No one could take away her friends and playmates, even if that person was a dragon, not so easily.
The little guy was really angry this time.
"But the situation is really bad now......"
I muttered a sentence silently, and then revisited the sand tables around me with anxious eyes.
One of the sand tables, pointing to the Pan-North, is marked with red and yellow markings that indicate the location of the Elven Civil War conflict.
The elves of the north are in suspicion and uneasiness towards hostility and conflict, although they don't need to think about it to know that this is a good show directed by Sluka, but they didn't expect that the different elven city-states would be so distrustful of each other......
This is what Mespier calls bad news.
The other three sand tables show the area of the Savage Canyon, the area of the Satie Chieftain, and the area of the Black Fire Mountains, respectively, and they are densely marked with red markings.
I've seen the division and shape of this sign once—during the Troglodyte War, as the troglodyte army marched through the Dawn Mountains.
Yes, there are millions of troglodyte armies marching in the direction of the Dawn Mountains!
That's the worse news that Mespier put it.
And the worst news - has now been confirmed by Elle.
The most important ally of the Dawn Mountains in the north, the elven princess of Tolmangue, has been kidnapped by dragons.
Whether it was Mespier's wedding or the victory over Evan, the face of these three bad news instantly turned pale.
It was as if I had a ball of cotton stuffed in my heart, and I knew that I was not the only one who felt this way, and that Mespier probably couldn't feel it any better.
This is a much more serious state of affairs than the previous Troglodyte crisis, and the Dawn Mountains are facing an all-out war.
