"The Third Family?"

Shadurellna spoke, but her gaze did not move, and at the end of her line of sight was a slab of quartz more than a man long, on which lay a human figure covered by cloth.

The matriarch of the Broza family gritted her teeth. for she knew that under the cloth was her daughter...... Former daughter.

Now, the priestess, who had always been known for her irritability, was at last quiet, for she was already a stiff corpse, and anger and reluctance coalesced into a terrible look on her cloth-exposed face, and her round eyes were fixed unwillingly at smallpox...... Shadurirona knew that she had at least five or six wounds cut by a sharp blade stacked on her body. Then there were the marks of the flames, which made her originally tall body curl up a little, and it was clear that she had suffered quite a bit before she died.

"Are you sure it was someone from the Third Family who killed her?"

Mistress Drow continued, her voice hoarse.

Being woken up from a sleep had already made her feel upset enough, not to mention the previous events - the news brought by the queen of spiders, the attack launched by the spirit suckers, the follow-up results, paying attention to this qiē and calculating the possible situation had already consumed a lot of brain power for her.

"Yes, a male warrior with the insignia of the Third Family, which I, and my men, can see very clearly. In addition to this, there was one of the few men who also said that it was the guy who first provoked Shatara and then fled, and in the process I met Shatara, and she recruited my fighters from me, and then chased after her. Esreina said, her eyes wandering over her sister's corpse and her mistress: "I was a little behind, and by the time I arrived, all the warriors had been knocked down, and she was dead. ”

Her statement is similar to the confessions of the remnants of the fighters.

Shadurilna snorted, withdrew her gaze, sat down on her throne, and lowered her gaze: "I really can't believe it. How could a despicable male, under the protection of a squad of elite warriors, kill a high-ranking priest...... Who else knows when you'll be back?"

"Nope. I did not mention my actions to anyone beforehand. And the time of stay in the Fifth Family is also extremely short, and there is no special rule to follow. ”

Shadurellna lowered her gaze and didn't look at the little panic in the third girl's eyes, she knew that this matter was definitely not that simple. There's definitely something hidden in it - and it's probably something to do with Acerena.

It's just that she's not in the mood to discuss this kind of issue here.

The death of a daughter is actually not a big deal for the main mother, the dark elves are best at cannibalism, and very few people can die well. In terms of lifespan, the dark elves can live up to seven hundred years. But the vast majority of them are in their four or five hundred years old, or even earlier, they die unnaturally and unnaturally.

For the female priests of the nobility, the process was even shorter, as they could face the butcher's knife raised by their blood relatives at any moment - a mistress would have to kill her mother and all her sisters if she wanted to ascend to the throne, and the younger sister would also be seen as a threat and killed little by little. In this way, you can sit firmly in your position and not be overthrown immediately, but even so. The daughters repeat the same process.

So the mistress never expected any of her to live a long life. Peace and Quiet - This is a completely unrealistic luxury for the dark elves, especially the daughter of the first family mother.

Her personality is not as clever and cunning as the other sisters, so she likes to exchange hysteria and ferocity for fear of others, and this cover is certainly possible. But it has also created more enemies for her for a long time. The mistress had expected her to die, but she had never imagined that this would be the case.

She had previously sent three daughters. To find out the attitudes of the various families, and on the way back. This event happened...... The death was carried out by Shatara, who was in charge of listening to the attitudes of the Second and Third Families, while it was the Third Family, who was the most suspicious.

But why?

The Drow mother turned her gaze to her other daughter.

"Such an attack may not have been premeditated, but it was large, and it had happened five times in the past hourglass time, and the people who were attacked were warriors who were parading in small groups, but also included a mage. The time of death is very close, but again, there are no witnesses. The eldest daughter of the First Family was silent for a moment, and then spoke, "The most important thing is that when I interrogated several discoverers, I got some bad news. ”

"What's the news?" the daughter's brief pause made the mistress raise her eyebrows.

"There is a strange legend that our family has angered the gods, so all the high priests have lost their power. Or it's a gradual loss of power. ”

"Joke!" Sadurelle sneered, sneering.

Of course, the magic given to them by Rose has not weakened in the slightest, which they can be completely sure of, and these words are of course just rumors.

The problem is that mere denial of rumors does not solve any practical problems.

The third family is not stupid, in fact, there is no stupid nobleman in the city of Drow, not to mention stupidity, even if it is not so smart, it will be eliminated quickly, and the rest are the most cunning individuals, so the tail left behind is too obvious, although in Drow's cognition, there is only a weakness that is caught, and the tail that is not seen, but such an obvious action is simply challenging the bottom line of the first family.

In Drow's thinking, this only shows that they have no fear.

Because of that strange rumor?

Lost Rose's favor...... Although this kind of rumor is absurd, if someone deliberately does it, the impact it can cause is probably catastrophic.

In the society of Drow, except for a few cities that do not believe in Rose, the Queen of Spiders decides most things, or in other words, Drow uses her power to maintain their own existence, and a family loses the grace of Rose, it loses the power of magic and protection, which means that it is not far from extinction.

You must do your best to show the strength of your family and deter all the idiots who are ready to move, otherwise, this gradual attrition will also cause unnecessary trouble, the dark elves have never been a prolific race, and the loss of manpower, especially the elite, is extremely terrible for any family.

But how to do it?

That requires ample evidence.

But now only testimony can be used as evidence.

As long as they are noble, they are eligible to wear the family crest, and sometimes commoners who do not have noble status will also be rewarded with one. As an honorable reward. The clan warriors will also have one as a distinguishing thing, and for those with ulterior motives, the family crest is simply a prop that can be carried at hand.

Testimony is invalid. Unless the person who gave the testimony had sufficient identity, but this time the witnesses were mostly fighters, and their testimony was usually not taken seriously at all. The other cunning killer knocked them out. The crucial part is missing.

No one could prove whether the man was a member of the real Third Family, not even if the witness had a high-ranking priest who the killer was, let alone anything else...... The Third Family would never hesitate to argue that this was a conspiracy to frame up, according to the rules of Drow's law. As long as it cannot be proved, then there is no zài at all. Even if Broza is the first family of Hansa Tillen, they can't break this rule and make a ruling against Baisendenog, otherwise, they may really lose the grace of the queen spider.

Mistress Drow gritted her teeth.

What's more, the perpetrator is still a mage.

The number of mages among the drow is very scarce, and Queen Rose herself has some magical powers. But she was extremely disgusted with this power. Because most mages will inevitably be loyal to the goddess of magic, the direct holder of the magic web, this is almost an intolerable thing for Rose, who has a strong desire for exclusivity and has always regarded Drow's soul as her own forbidden body.

But the power of magic. After all, it is one of the most powerful beings in the world, and it cannot be ignored for mortal things. Therefore, there will still be the existence of a mage in the drow. There are even special academies for training, but for the selection of mages, it is extremely strict, in the decades of entering the academy to study, every year those mentors will receive a batch of death places, and for the drow who like to conspire and frame, the butcher's knife behind the back, this is a reasonable and necessary resource.

There are very few outstanding people who can become mages, and even the first family like Broza is only a dozen or so.

It is impossible for a mage with such ability to wander around like those low-level outcasts, in fact, even if he wants to cultivate one secretly, it is extremely difficult.

This only shows that the Third Family may have already begun to take official action.

"These idiots who should be devoured by spiders!" Sadurelle cursed in a low voice.

In fact, at this time, she felt an extraordinary uneasiness, as if the whole thing was not just as simple as seeing, experiencing and thinking, and there were many things hidden in the mysterious darkness, which could not be detected.

According to her usual thinking, she should have performed a ritual first, listening to the teachings of the Wax Melting Demons, the Goddess to be exact, but earlier in the day, she had already done so, and both the Spider Queen and the Wax Melting Demon were extremely disgusted by the frequent interruptions.

Why at this time?

Could this be the queen of spiders...... A test for us?"

Her mother's long silence had overwhelmed Acerena, and after a long period of patience, she finally spoke cautiously, carefully considering her words so as not to anger her mother, who was already about to explode: "Because we didn't have enough of her messenger before...... Aggressive. So, she's admonishing us in this way?"

In fact, they had been thinking about how to plunder the artifact into their own hands, and as for the so-called will of the Spider Queen conveyed by the human, none of the Drow really took it to heart.

Test?

Mistress Drow looked up.

Test...... Yes, the Spider Queen's personality is capricious, but she never lightly uses her power to hasten the end of a situation - even if it is to destroy a certain family, she does not hesitate to give a chance to resist...... Of course, her ultimate goal is nothing more than to appreciate the painful process of death for the weak, and to look forward to some kind of turn of chance that impermanent luck may cause...... In any case, Yiqiē is to be able to give her more, more pleasure and pleasure.

So, the previous decision was really my own mistake......

"The human ...... How is the messenger sent by Her Majesty the Spider Queen now?" In a series of thoughts, she suddenly caught something, so she turned her head to the man beside her, her martial arts chief.

"Well, since a few hourglasses ago, after that attack, they have been stuck in the Adamantite Shell, and it seems that they are recuperating. There were a lot of people around there, but nothing too special......" the stout male Drow whispered. But suddenly hesitated: "Well, but." One of the warriors had previously reported that a nobleman and a male had entered the hotel and stayed in the lobby for about an hourglass time. ”

"Who is it?"

"The martial arts chief of the third family. Eastero ......"

"What?" the mistress burst out with a curse, as if her dead daughter had been possessed by her soul at this moment: "Idiot, this kind of thing, why didn't you say it earlier, you stupid waste!" Mistress Drow's hair seemed to stand on end, and her eyes flashed black as she stared at the man in front of her, as if she had turned into a spider that had chosen to devour people.

The veteran martial arts master was also frightened by this sudden burst of anger, and couldn't help but take a step back and bow his head deeply.

He hadn't thought about it at all, and if it weren't for the fact that a few priests had just brought up the matter of the Third Family, he might have ignored it as an accident, after all, the entire Lower Town could be used as a place for entertainment. There was only one inn. It is not surprising that a nobleman is there, and he himself sometimes wants to sit in the bustling places of the lower town and relax the mood that is often soaked in tension.

But now he had guessed what the Mistress was worried about, and if the Third Family had premeditated, it was only natural that they should contact the so-called Queen of the Spider Emissary, who had apparently given them some kind of confidence—even direct support.

"Inferior male!" Shadurilna fell silent. A muttered mutter, and the outburst of anger ended. It was as if the roar that still reverberated through the room was none of her doing.

There's no time to blame these fools for their actions...... The silver brow furrowed slightly, and the First Mistress pondered the current situation.

This mistake is very strict. Although it is not without room for salvation - it must be a sufficient amount, at least a sacrifice of dozens or hundreds of lives, to appease the feelings of the Queen of God.

Therefore, a suitable victim must be determined.

And the best sacrifice?

A subtle smile appeared on the corner of the Drow Mistress's mouth......

The Third Family, yes, they are the sacrifice of course, six high priests, twelve mages, and these are enough to calm the wrath of the queen spider......

As for the ...... on which they depended The power of the queen messenger.

Is it powerful? Or yes, being able to outwit and kill four psionic monsters is a great power - she'd seen them more than once, and the strange and incomprehensible powers of the psionic monsters, known as the supernatural powers, could even face each other against one or two high priests, and hundreds of such monsters could build a city as powerful as Hanseatic Tyren, and not just rely on their enchanted slaves.

And that human being can fight back and win under the premise of a sneak attack by four spirit sucking monsters, and kill all the monsters, this kind of power is indeed worthy of admiration.

But that's about it.

He had been following the spy behind the other party, listening to the details of the battle in great detail, and although the human had won in the end, he was also injured, and according to the spout's report, he had been hiding in the room, and it was estimated that even with the priest's treatment, it would be difficult to remove the damage caused by the direct impact on the soul of the psionic monster - this was the unanimous understanding of the drow who had combat experience with the psionic monster.

In this way, he may not even take part in the fight.

In this case, the rest of the things are not worth mentioning.

The number of guards of the third family is only half of its own, and the number of slaves is more than twice as bad, and the mages and priests, both in terms of quantity and quality, Broza has a threefold advantage. What's more, Broza also has the privilege of being the first family. And those foreign aids.

Yes, psionics.

Shadurilna hated psilocess, cunning, scheming, and untrustworthy, and in fact didn't want to let them stay around for even a breath just from their weird recipes.

But the key problem is that their power is indeed powerful, and even if they fail in the plot against the queen of spiders, it doesn't mean that they are really useless - their terrifying ability is enough to make them a wonder soldier, although they can't really be used to destroy the third family's defensive circle, but it is enough to provide more than double the caster to suppress their opponents on the battlefield.

Mistress Drow's smile widened. It seems to have seen its own victory

Of course, the Broza family can win. Since the city was founded, there have been many families who have challenged it, but they have all failed, haven't they? And it was in the midst of this constant challenge that Broza became the master of the city. Now this situation is just another repetition of the previous triumph.

And this time, the fruits of victory will be even more luscious, even far more than before...... (To be continued......)
