Chapter 21: Mysterious Quest (4)
"That's it?" the dwarf Bodina was a little disappointed, although he didn't directly say that he wanted to go, but the adventurous dwarf had already decided that such an adventure must be indispensable for him.
"What's inside the Wing Tower?" asked Darla.
"I don't know. "Osterdo.
"Even you don't know?"
"Yes, I don't know. It was a very dangerous place of trial, and many people went in and never came out again. ”
"Then you still let us go, doesn't it mean that we are sent to death?" Vantania on the side couldn't help but ask.
"First, it's a completely voluntary mission that is up to you, second, it's the only way to be sure if Puno is completely overrun by evil, and third, in fact, it's most likely that you will not be able to enter the Wing Tower if you do go. So, I just made a suggestion. Orst explained unhurriedly, and then, after slowly looking around at the crowd, the elven mage and current dean said to Darra, "If you have decided, it is best to leave as soon as possible, the situation in Puno will only get worse the longer it drags on." I have to go now. If you can really pass the trial, come to the Elven Academy to find me again. ”
After saying that, Oster disappeared in front of everyone out of thin air as when he came.
The old dwarf Todak said, "I hate magicians! ”
Crystal Abyss, Crystal Labyrinth Training Camp.
"Are you hurt?" asked Shventham, his eyes fixed on one of Cass's legs, where the wound appeared to have healed, but the torn hole in the leg of his trousers remained, and the marks of blood soaked in it remained.
"Yes. Cass knew that in front of Side Eventham, if he wanted to deliberately hide something, he would only be exposed faster, and telling the truth was his only option at this time.
"Mission accomplished?"
"Done. ”
"Did they reply?"
"Yes, a message, Sister Demi says they promise you all your terms. ”
"That's it?"
"Yes. ”
"Nothing else?"
Cass hesitated for a moment before saying, "She sent a human envoy to Shama City to meet the Maserati Mistress. ”
Seventam's pointed ears moved, and he asked, "Human envoy?"
"Yes, it's a member of the Midland family, a magical family that has just taken root with the succubus. ”
"What did you send her for?"
Sister Demi handed her a box and said it was an ornament for the Maserati mistress. ”
"Ornaments, these women!" said Cheektam, then shook her head and asked, "She ordered the human envoy to deliver something to the Maserati mistress in your presence?"
"Yes. ”
Side Tam smiled, the other party seemed to have some knowledge of the internal situation of their drow, otherwise, how could he think of taking advantage of the delicate rivalry between him and the Maserati mistress. Asking Cass to deliver such news is undoubtedly to make himself suspicious of the Maserati mistress, and to speculate whether Maserati has colluded with them. If he does fall for it, then the instability within Drow will give the succubus a chance to profit from it.
He believes that the Maserati mistress will not be stupid enough to collude with the succubus behind her back, after all, they are all under the control of Queen Rose, and internal power struggle is one thing, but if you collude with external forces to compete for internal power, it will only anger Rose and lose her favor. The succubi don't seem to know about that.
They never understood that Drow society had its own strict system, and while on the surface they were as lawless as succubi, some underlying twisted rule held all the dark elves firmly in check. They definitely can't do whatever they want like a succubus.
This is also the reason why Šiventam did not start a war of aggression in advance, although the civil war of mankind seemed to be a perfect opportunity, but after thinking about it for a while, he decided to continue to prepare for war, and he would definitely not act rashly until everything was ready.
Sure enough, it turned out to be their judgment, and the civil strife of mankind was very short-lived, and they had already quelled the civil strife themselves without waiting for the invasion of foreign enemies. Šiventam estimates that it will be about a decade before the real chaos on the surface of the earth. Ten years is just a short period of time for Drow. They need to be patient and wait for the best time to come......
Amber couldn't remember how long she had been in Drow's stalagmites, and since she had been sent here by Sister Radiance, she had stayed in the Pillar Room arranged by Gwyneth and never left.
Gwyneth had subtly hinted to her that she had saved her life under Gwyneth's Zhou Xuan, and that she had not been killed on the spot by the Maserati mistress, and that it was with Gwyneth's help that she had not been taken to be imprisoned with those slaves, but was placed under house arrest in a room inside the stone pillar.
These pillars are even inhabited only by the mages of Drow.
But Amber didn't have much gratitude for Gwyneth, she really wanted to leave here and go back to Ishtar to resume her life. She made a contract with the succubus, if she can't be loyal to the other party, and can't complete some special mysterious tasks for the other party, then not only will she not get the favor and help of the other party, but the big event of revenge and revenge will become an extravagant hope, and even the lives of herself and some of the people who follow her will not be saved.
Despite Amber's repeated begging Gwyneth to let her go, Gwyneth remained unmoved and kept pleasing her, and Amber could see that the beautiful drow woman was saying the most beautiful words, but not actually doing anything. She wasn't going to let herself go back at all.
Ambell also tried to use magic to communicate with her superiors, but ultimately failed, and there were many magical bans in the most powerful family fortress in the main city of Drow.
At first, Amber waited anxiously for the succubus to find someone to save her, but soon, the clever Amber figured something out and knew that her wait would only be in vain.
For the succubus, she is just a human girl, and it is only by relying on her understanding of the surface world that she will be accepted by the other party as a member of the cooperative magic family.
They sent her to Shama City as a trial, and if she couldn't even complete such a task, it was very doubtful that she would be able to play a role in future wars. Therefore, if she does not return to Ishtar City, she will definitely be considered a mission failure and has died. Even if the succubus knew that she was not dead now, but only the true situation of being imprisoned by Drow, she would not come to save her, and she could only find a way to get out of here on her own to prove her strength. Otherwise, there is not much difference between her life and death, just a hopeless waste. In this dark world of the jungle, who cares about the life or death of a wasted person?
Ambelle's heart suddenly burst into a drow figure, and the golden eyes reminded her of the sun, except in a dream, she hadn't seen the sun for a long time.
There is no light, no temperature, only a boundless cold fear. The only consolation was the dark elf who wielded the scimitar.
"I heard you've kept that human maiden all along, why? what if she escapes?" asked Lisal her little sister, Gwyneth. She is jealous of Gwyneth's recent favor, and Gwyneth is challenging herself as the eldest daughter. There were several times when my mother discussed important matters, and she had quietly agreed directly with Gwyneth, and only afterwards did she inform herself, who was still a high priest in the academy.
This made Lisal extremely unhappy, and she blamed it on the whip she had swung at the human mage Aland, mistakenly driving her mother's ally back to the ground. This incident has made her fall out of favor for a long time. However, Lisal has never been good at checking her own faults, but hates humans even more, and in the face of anything related to humans, she is uncontrollable and very irritable.
"After all, she is an envoy sent by Sister Radiance, and we can't afford to make a fuss about our allies until the war on the surface begins, and our relationship with our allies is too bad. So......" Gwyneth replied cautiously, always maintaining a semblance of deference to her irascible sister.
"But they killed one of our envoys!" Lisal roared.
"Yes. ”
"Why don't we retaliate with a tooth for a tooth!"
"Mother thinks that now is not the time. ”
"When will that be?"
"Sister, what do you think?"
Lisal had nothing to say, and she also reflected that their priority was still to prepare for war, and the delicate cooperation with their allies had forced them to put up with the succubus's chaotic way of doing things for the time being. Lisal clenched her fists and yelled at her sister, "When the time comes, I will be the first to take that's life!" and then flicked the snakehead whip in his hand, turned and strode away.
That's exactly what I want. Gwyneth thought, giving an eerie smile to her sister's back. (To be continued.) )
