The young lord wore a white fur robe that blended in with the surrounding snow, and his upright body stood like a statue in the flying snowflakes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The sound of footsteps behind him interrupted his thoughts—thoughts about the North.

He didn't look back, still looking to the far north, even if his gaze was only on the edge of the intersection of blue and white. A white shadow swept overhead, and a low roar seemed to express the same emotions as himself. Ever since Mu Tian had left with Jin Ming, the huge Green Wind Castle had become empty again, leaving it to hover over it alone.

The footsteps stopped at some distance from him, and an old man staggered, waiting carefully.

"Scholar Ludo, what's the situation?" Bai Ling still didn't look back, his voice as cold as the air around him.

"Lord, according to the report of the spies we sent to the north, the dark alliance besieging the capital of Pasture has collapsed, and ......" Rudo only hesitated for a moment before the young lord realized it.

"And what?" he turned, his sword-like brow furrowed.

"Miss Mu Tian, with the help of Jin Ming, who had the power of the Qingyun City army, not only annihilated the besieging Dark Alliance, but also took the position of city lord from the original city lord. ”

"Oh?" Bai Ling asked, obviously unexpectedly.

"The reason is that the timid and death-fearing lord of the city of Mu Zhidu did something that made both the soldiers and the people angry - he actually surrendered to the Dark Alliance, and thanks to Miss Mu Tian, they arrived in time to avoid the people in the city from being destroyed. Therefore, she, the glory of the former pastoral capital, and now the hero of the pastoral capital, of course, has naturally replaced the mediocre and incompetent city lord. ”

"Once upon a time...... Today's heroes...... The current lord of the castle...... What a dramatic scene. However, in this chaotic world now, who else is more qualified to sit on the position of the city lord of this pastoral capital than her?" Bai Ling muttered.

There were a few snowflakes hanging on Lu Duo's gray beard, he blinked his somewhat cloudy eyes, and continued: "No one is qualified, Miss Mu Tian has the demeanor of a monarch and has superior strength, so she naturally deserves to be the best." ”

Bai Ling's white cheeks were as white as snow, and Lu Duo suddenly realized that he seemed to have understood the wrong meaning and said something that should not be said. He thought he had read the mind of the young lord in front of him, but he was wrong, wasn't the more qualified person in front of him?

"Now that she's all right, the forces we've sent out can be withdrawn, and the Dark Coalition forces are ready to launch a general attack at any time, and our forces need to be concentrated. Bai Ling said lightly.

The Ruhr should be immediately. It was since Mu Tian and Jin Ming left, and the young lord ordered him to secretly send them out and follow the army behind them. On the long journey from Silvermark Fort to the capital of Muzhi, Mu Tian and the others experienced countless wars, large and small, but the lord never gave orders to support, but only kept following...... At first, Ruhl was a little puzzled by what he was doing, but after going through it a few times, he suddenly realized that the lord was looking for an opportunity, an opportunity when the army to support appeared, which would make Mu Tian and her army feel desperate.

"Is there anything else?" Bai Ling ordered to evict the guests.

"There is indeed one more thing in the subordinates, and it is...... It was the woman who called herself the Empress of the Dark Elves who asked for an audience again. ”

Ruer couldn't figure out Bai Ling's thoughts, and became a little cautious at this time. This was also the second time he had expressed the empress's petition to Bai Ling, and the first time the young lord decisively refused. If it weren't for the "favor" that the empress had promised him that he couldn't refuse, he wouldn't have mentioned it again after the lord said "no", because he knew that the young man in front of him had extremely keen insight, and he wouldn't have risen to the occasion without perfect preparation.

"Huh?" Bai Ling really had a hint of alertness in his eyes, and he turned to look at Luer. At this time, the old man who bowed there slightly faced his sudden gaze, like a cold wind blowing in his heart.

"If memory serves, I once responded to this petition. ”

Ruhr, of course, remembers. It was a regular meeting, and after it was over, he secretly told the lord about it for the first time. But the lord's reply was unusually decisive, if she came to join me, then she would take her people to live in peace in my territory, and have no other ideas.

"Yes, lord. Ruhl bowed his head in acknowledgement.

"What's going on then? Did you forget, or did I not speak loud enough?" After getting the confirmation, a silver light flashed in Bai Ling's eyes as the surrounding snowflakes reflected. The Dark Elves, just hearing the name makes people feel a dark nature, if he hadn't already opened the door and promised to receive all kinds of defectors, and the water that spilled out of his words was frozen, he might not even let them in.

"It's my subordinates who think that if you meet this Dark Elf Empress, it may be more beneficial to our Silvermark Castle. Ruhl began to say that he was ready to speak.

Maybe it was also a devastating decision, Bai Ling thought to himself, but he was not a dictator who was bent on going his own way, at least not yet. He has to follow the advice of his subordinates, even if it's a bunch of nonsense.

"According to the subordinates' understanding, the power of this dark elf clan is in the Source of Vitality Continent and even the entire Dragon Atlas World, and the number of clansmen should not be underestimated. If...... can be taken under your command, which can just make up for the vacancy of the Qingyun City army that Jin Ming took away. ”

Bai Ling's pupils gathered slightly, staring at the old man in front of him. The old man quietly expressed his heartfelt voice - Bai Ling expressed his indifference to the thousands of Qingyun City troops who had left on the surface, but his heart was like a knife, but he couldn't stop it openly.

"Are they all in the city at this time?" Bai Ling asked casually, referring to the Dark Elves' clansmen.

Ruer looked at Bai Ling and became interested, so he was able to continue.

"No, it's just the Dark Elf Empress. She said that in order not to be too ostentatious, and she also hoped that she would only go after getting your consent. Bai Ling thought, in today's world, there is nothing that makes people feel swaggering, but the latter idea is still a basic etiquette.

"Have you checked her background carefully?"

He was moved but also worried, and Ruhl understood that the lord was still a young man, and the temptation of power and the army still had a certain weight in his heart.

"Before coming here to report, my subordinates have sent someone to investigate this empress thoroughly. Much of what she said was true, her family's realm was devastated by the Dark Alliance, and she needed to find a trustworthy refuge for her people. Ruhl replied. The first time he was found by the Elven Empress, he was also full of suspicions, especially during this time of war. But after talking to her, my doubts were dispelled.

"In that case, inform her to the council chamber. ”

Bai Ling turned around and walked into the house, the snowflakes on his body falling silently. The Ruhr scholar looked at his back, his ravine-ravine old face showing a hint of red glow, but there was also worry mixed in it. He thought of the "good" that the Empress had promised him, but he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse. A huge snowflake flew into his eyes, and the old eyes blinked vigorously. Whatever, it's just a meeting. He threw away all other thoughts and walked into the snow......

Flames jumped from the huge fireplace in the council chamber like spirits draped in flames. Thinking of the elves, Bai Ling's thoughts extended even further, as far as the depths of the ethereal cold, it was a secret. Now there is another one, and black and white are not something he can control.

He took off his long coat and sat down on the throne, waiting quietly.

After a while, there was a commotion outside the council chamber, and then an attendant came in to give an announcement.

"Let her in. Bai Ling said softly.

The door to the council chamber slowly opened, and a woman of Wonder figure wriggled in.

Bai Ling looked over. A face with beautiful facial features is wrapped in black fur, long eyelashes are still hung with unmelted snowflakes, and slightly dark skin shimmers with maturity and fullness.

The woman continued to writhe her body and lean forward, her whole body hidden under the heavy fur, but still bumpy.

"Thank you lord for allowing me to petition. The woman's voice was full of infinite charm, but if it could erode the coldness in front of her, she knew as soon as she tried, "I am the Empress of the Dark Elven Clan, the Elven Branch, Calissa Whisper, you can call me Calissa." ”

The Empress introduced herself as she slowly walked inside, her slender fingers reaching for her waist.

"Empress Calissa, I don't think there's any need to beat around the bush and just say what you're here for. ”

"Purpose?" Calissa's rosy lips lifted slightly, she had faded her face in order to better fulfill her mission. "Can it ...... Let me take off my coat first, here...... It's too hot here. She wasn't asking for Bai Ling's consent, and as soon as her slender fingers bent, the heavy black fur on her body slipped off.

She was wearing a long black silk dress clinging to her bewitching body, and Bai Ling suddenly remembered a certain woman who was also eye-catching, the same style, but the color was different.

"What purpose do I have...... the Empress's tone was a little resentful, "just to find a safe place for my people, and for myself to find an arm to rely on." ”

She wants me, Bai Ling can see the heat in her eyes. He also understood that the purpose of this kind of embracement was by no means good, if he had been in the past, he would have already put his nose on it, but at this moment he was interested. Maybe it's because of the green in his heart, maybe it's his ulterior motives.

"How do you know I'm safe here, and I'm your arm?" Bai Ling asked with interest.

"I knew it. ”

The Dark Elf Empress smiled seductively, swaying her bewitching figure as she walked straight to the young lord......
