The faint lights flickered back and forth in the cold wind blowing through the narrow windows, making it seem as if they were about to go out in the next moment, and the erratic lights made the already dim cell even more desolate. The noise gradually subsided, and the frightened prisoners fell asleep from exhaustion, except for Ute and the others, who still sat tightly together, immersed in Alex's whispered voice.

"Dragons? You're talking about dragons? are the winged, fire-breathing, greedy creatures that troubadours often mention? Did they really exist on this continent? Where are they going now? I often hear legends about these terrible creatures, and I want to see them with my own eyes......

"Of course they did. In ancient times, as the most powerful and loyal vassals of the Dawn Protoss, they were a major force in the Dawn faction. It's just that after the Battle of Dusk, forced by an oath, they finally went to a hidden place outside the continent, and they were no longer visible on the continent. Now there are occasional guys like bipedal flying dragons in remote places on the mainland, but they are just some dragon beasts that have no wisdom or are mixed with a few traces of the thin blood of the dragon clan, and the real dragon clan has long left the mainland. ”

"Hey, Kid Ate, don't interrupt. Captain Alex, then, these guys are members of the caravan controlled by the dark elves. But what are they going to do to us? Why did they bring us to this place? And these guys who originally belonged to the dark camp, even if they surrendered, should be controlled by us or under our control, so they are not afraid that we humans will know about these things?"

Little Safenter's knowledge was obviously much more extensive than that of Ite, and he couldn't help but raise the confusion in his heart.

"After the remnants of the Dark Elves surrendered to the Elves, they were saved from slaughter in a sign of the benevolence and love advocated by the Dawn Protoss, but were forced to leave their homes and exiled to a barren land that was said to be cursed by the gods. There, an evil and mysterious race is said to have been sealed, and the surviving dark races have been forced to become the guardians of the sealed land, and have vowed never to leave. The God-cursed Sealed Land is said to be located on the other side of the Desert of Death, somewhere near the Endless Sea. As for why the dark elves brought us to this place, and what they are going to do to us, don't you see? They are likely to transport us to the territory of the dark elves across the desert, it is said that the dark elves are a peculiar race, this race is female-honored, that is to say, their leaders are female dark elves, and the position of men there is like a slave in our society, although the dark elves are also known for being good at smelting and forging magical items, but like those proud forest elves, they basically do not know how to sow seeds and gather or herd and domesticate to obtain food, maybe before the battle of dusk, as a medium race in the dark camp second only to the demons, they do not need to sow and work by themselvesNaturally, there will be other lower races who will provide them with all kinds of food and utensils. But now it's different, so they need a lot of slaves to gather and work for them, just like the nobles in our human kingdom, and even their female rulers like to hunt for young men of different races for fun, so now you should be able to guess what they're going to do to us, right?"

Everyone was speechless for a moment, looking at each other in silence, as if it was difficult to accept a rather strange unknown fate.

"Lily of the valley, by the way, what does lily of the valley mean?"

Ite suddenly remembered the noun Alex had mentioned when he first saw this caravan in the orc camp, and asked coldly.

Alex looked at Itte in obvious astonishment, and then turned back to his usual indifferent color, and said slowly: "Some habits of the dark elf race are similar to those of dwarves, but they are different. The dwarves like to carve palaces in the belly of the mountains, but this race is accustomed to living in the dark underground, and they have built large-scale dungeons under their domains. They are born like elves with a high talent for magic and martial arts, and they are also good at forging magical objects, they have a handsome appearance and dark skin, so they are called dark elves. This race is also divided into many ethnic tribes, each tribe has its own special tribal markings to distinguish them, they often use some endemic species in the underground as tribal marks, and the black lily of the valley with five black petals and blue stamens is one of the unique plants in the underground world there, and it is also the mark of a powerful tribe in the current dark elves, which means that this caravan is actually controlled by the black lily of the valley tribe. ”

Gradually, before I knew it, it was late at night, and everyone was already exhausted after a day's trek, although listening to Alex's story was very interesting, but after roughly knowing the situation they were in, ** And the mental fatigue still overcame the willingness to continue listening, first Poole couldn't help but yawn and leaned on Ate's shoulder to sleep, Ite couldn't help but rub his eyes, seeing such a scene, Alex also lost interest in continuing to tell, although little Safin was still unsatisfied, but in the end still did not insist, everyone staggered against the corner, and fell asleep.

The tooth-aching creak of the doorshaft in the morning woke Ite from her sleep, rubbing her astringent eyes and yawning, to find Alex sitting there calmly, whispering something to little Saphent and Gores, while Poole still slept with saliva on his lips.

Stretched out a foot to wake up Poole, who was still snoring, ignoring the strong protest of Poole, who was full of annoyance, yawning and watching the two cold-faced lizardmen carry into a bucket of food, and was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a layer of minced meat on the top, and the rich fragrance suddenly swept away the original state that was still a little confused due to lack of sleep, and saliva couldn't help but gush out of the corners of his mouth.

After the full meal, everyone's spirits, which had been a little sluggish due to the long journey, suddenly recovered a lot, and they all sat tightly around Alex as the center, carefully avoiding the other human prisoners next to them, and continued the topic of last night in a low voice, asking Alex the doubts in their hearts.

In this room, which was dark, dry and cold, but far more narrow and low than the previous cramped and low iron cage and caravan, Ite spent the most comfortable two days since he was captured, not only the food was much better than before, at least he was able to eat warm and cooked food, and most importantly, he learned many hidden stories from Alex about the ancient gods ruling the continent that he had never heard of.

According to Alex's account of interest, Yat and the others roughly understood that before the Battle of Ancient Twilight, when the Dawn Protoss and the Chaos Demon Clan ruled the continent, they each established their own camps. The Dawn Protoss has established thirteen huge and magnificent kingdoms of gods in the land under their control as a family unit, corresponding to the thirteen supreme gods from the Dawn Protoss. The Three Demon Gods of Chaos, who control chaos, depravity, and tyranny, have also established three dark realms in their respective territories to compete with them.

If it weren't for the appearance of that sealed land, maybe the two camps would have been opposing each other for a long time, and this situation would have continued to this day, and neither would have been able to completely annex the other. But history has no ifs, and no one can predict and avoid the arrangement of fate, not even the gods.
