The light swept over Enid's body and vanished.

The whole thing happened quickly and suddenly, with almost no warning, and by the time everyone reacted, the light had already disappeared.

Cecil reacted quickly enough to pull his sister back a long distance when he noticed the vision, and then asked Enid if she felt anything unusual.

"I'm fine." Enid also looked herself up and down, feeling it carefully and not noticing anything wrong, but she still pulled out the long sword at her waist and held it in her hand.

"Why don't we get out first?" As soon as Cecil said this, he heard a loud bang.

The crowd followed the sound and looked over, and found that the corridor they had walked through had fallen through a stone gate to seal the corridor. z.br>

「……」

David looked at the stone gate, and then at the "partners" around him, and no worries rose, and at the same time reminded Cecil, "That stone platform has changed."

Except for Cecil, who cared about his sister, everyone else noticed the change in Shitai for the first time.

The unremarkable stone platform suddenly began to crack from the center after emitting a ray of light, turning into a petal-by-petal posture like a blooming flower, and then a sphere with strange patterns engraved on the surface slowly floated into the air from below.

"What's that?" Steve looked closely at the patterns on it, which were similar to those seen at the doorway, presumably the creation of the Dark Elves.

He was actually asking Cecil this sentence, hoping that this archaeologist from the Dark Elf Kingdom would be able to answer everyone's questions.

Unfortunately, Cecil didn't know what it was, and he looked at the ball curiously, trying to figure out what the lines on it meant.

"I will sleep here...... until the descendants who are qualified to inherit the priesthood are found ......"

To everyone's surprise, it was not Cecil, a dark elf archaeologist, who read this passage, nor Enid, who had been scanned by unknown light, but David!

"Can you read the text?" Tony had been scanning the orb not far away with his Warframe, but had been warned that it contained a powerful amount of energy, similar to the dark energy used on Cecil's ship, but with a lot of differences.

As for the lines above, he has transmitted the data to Jarvis, who is still analyzing and sorting it out.

As a result, the price has not yet been analyzed, and David has actually said the above content.

"A gift!"

David had also just realized that his language talent had upgraded, and he glanced at Laura beside him, who he had thought was just a way to better communicate with people from all over the world.

I never thought that there would be such a change after this ability was upgraded: the language of the dark elves, let alone contact with it before, he didn't know that there was such a thing at all.

As a result, he only glanced at it a few times, but he could easily understand the true meaning of the above expression.

Everyone didn't worry too much about David's special abilities, and they wouldn't be surprised that David had all kinds of strange abilities.

They cared about the message from David's words: I will sleep here...... Who is this "me"?

The answer was soon revealed, and the ball was suspended in mid-air and emitted bursts of brilliance, and a translucent figure appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

The same blue skin as Cecil and Enid, the silver-white waist-length hair draped behind him, the same style of high-defense armor as Enid's body, and the long staff inlaid with unknown crystals in his hand.

The translucent dark elf phantom opened its eyes, its blue eyes like the deep sea, as if it could devour everything that rushed towards it.

"Huh?"

The translucent female dark elf's gaze swept over everyone present, and noticed the composition of everyone in the field.

「

So many humans? And elves? It's a strange combination."

"Oh? What's weird?"

The female dark elf spoke an unfamiliar language, and only David could understand it except for the dark elf siblings present.

But in the next second, Medivan also mastered the language.

"A human who understands the language of the Dark Elves?" The translucent female dark elf didn't continue to talk to David, but looked at Cecil and Enid, and finally looked at Enid a few times, "You're the one who woke me up!" I was so disappointed, I thought it would be a good descendant to come here......

Before the female dark elf could finish complaining, she was interrupted by Cecil: "Who are you?"

"Impudent fellow, no dark elf has taught you to be respectful when facing a high priest?"

"High priest? What high priest?"

「……」

The conversation between the two was simultaneously translated by David to everyone, and everyone finally figured out the situation.

This translucent dark elf woman is supposed to be a high priest who may have had an unusual status among the dark elves in the past.

Cecil, who came from the Empire of the Eternal Night, did not know the High Priest, who was an expert in history and archaeology.

The information revealed in this suddenly became worth looking forward to.

"I think there's probably a lot of good things to watch next."

Tony's words drew the approval of the crowd, but also the displeasure of the priestess.

"Human, you'd better not provoke me!" The priestess used the Brennian lingua franca this time, and although she had an accent that was even stranger than that of the siblings, at least everyone could understand it directly.

Tony didn't pay any attention to the priestess's threats, although the priestess hadn't said a few words since she appeared, but these words had revealed enough information that the priestess probably belonged to one of the groups that had been completely submerged by the torrent of history.

Even she herself may already be a dead person! Her current appearance doesn't seem to be any different from the so-called ghost.

At this time, the ghostly priestess also seemed to realize something, she looked at the pair of dark elf brothers and sisters, and asked about the origin of the two, as well as the situation of the dark elf clan in the world today?

"We are the dark elves of the Eternal Night Empire, I am an archaeologist, my name is Cecil, and this is my sister Enid."

With Cecil's brief introduction, the priestess knew that the Eternal Night Empire was currently the only kingdom of dark elves, and that there was a group of exiled dark elves who were scattered in the Lost Lands.

These contents have not yet made the priestess react in any way, but when Cecil introduced the specific situation of the Eternal Night Empire, the unhappiness on the priestess's face can be seen as long as she is not blind.

"Empire of the Eternal Night...... Oh, it turned out to be a country founded by those traitors......

"Traitor ......"

Cecil was a little dissatisfied with the priestess's evaluation, while David and the others had melon-eating expressions on their faces, waiting for more revelations.

In order not to disturb the conversation between the dark elves, David resisted the urge to take the snack out of the space.

The priestess kept talking to Cecil and Enid, and David made the appropriate translation.

Gradually, the crowd figured out the specifics.

Once the entire continent of Brennia was ruled by the Dark Elves, who built a huge and unusually powerful state.

In the realm of the dark elves, the priests who serve the goddess of the night have a very high status, and this Elfrida in front of him is a high status and revered high priest of the goddess of the night.

In addition, the priests of the goddess of the night were all women, and at that time, the status of women within the dark elves was far higher than that of the male dark elves.

Even in the eyes of some female dark elves, men are nothing more than tools used to produce children and do coolies.

Although with the gradual development of the empire, the dark elves who hold this old idea are slowly decreasing, but the concept of female superiority and male inferiority has not fundamentally changed until

The emergence of humans.

"Wait...... The emergence of humanity?"

Cecil heard a terrible message from Elfrida's mouth: Aren't humans a race that already exists on the continent of Breonnia? Did it come later?

"Is there anything strange about that? The Dark Elves weren't originally a race that lived on the continent of Breonnia."

「……」

Cecil was stunned by two consecutive news, and everyone who was eating melons on the side also felt that the trip was worthwhile, and they really ate a big melon.

With Elfrida's introduction, everyone learned that the dark elves' hometown is located in the east of the continent of Brennia, where there is a huge island, where the dark elves originally lived.

But as the race grows, the island's increasingly barren and scarce resources are no longer enough for the dark elves to continue living here.

With several successive natural disasters, the entire island seems to have a tendency to disappear, and the dark elves have to migrate to the continent of Breonnia.

"We have come here, defeated the orcs who originally ruled the continent of Brennya, and established the era of the dark elves."

After nearly a thousand years of development, it seems that the dark elves are about to enter a new era, and humans appear!

"Just as when we first came to the continent of Brenia and defeated the orcs, humanity poses a great threat to our rule, and the dark elves and humans have started a war that has lasted for countless years."

As for the results......

"The Dark Elves retreated to the western part of the continent and established the Eternal Night Empire, and the humans occupied the eastern part of the continent?"

In response to Cecil's words, Elfrida only pursed the corners of her mouth, showing obvious disdain: "A group of traitors who have abandoned their people and their faith are not worthy of being called dark elves!"

Without waiting for Cecil to ask, Elfrida gave another description: "True dark elves never retreat, and judging from your previous description, all of my true people have died in the war against humans...... And you are nothing more than the descendants of a group of traitors...... No wonder they get mixed up with humans."
