I breathed a sigh of relief: "Matthew, it turned out to be you, I thought it was the eyes and ears of the Senate!"

"Haha, if you really let those people hear what you just said, you'll be in trouble. However, although I am a dark elf, I am an adventurer like you, and I will not betray you!"

She's still as cheerful as ever.

"Amy, you're here too, aren't you afraid of spiders?" asked Danio.

Amy's face was very complicated, and she said, "I'm not afraid of spiders? Who said I'm afraid? And I haven't been to this place in Dark City before, how can I not come and find out? I'm also worried about your safety!"

"Haha, in fact, she followed me with her eyes closed and grabbed my clothes when she walked through the spider cave!"

"......" After Matthew's words were spoken, Amy looked a little embarrassed,

"Straight to the point. Matthew stopped joking, "Is there a truce between the Dark Elf Kingdom and the Duchy? Are you going back to report it?We can go back to the Duchy with you, anyway, we are tired of playing around the area around the Dark City, it's time to go to Sky City." ”

"Not yet, Elder Sharpen has asked us to eliminate the source of the plague in Nojpera, and we are about to go to the inn to stay overnight, get ready, and leave tomorrow. ”

Matthew "ha" said: "I am very familiar with this place in the Dark City, it is best to find me as a guide! Come, let me take you to the best hotel in the city!"

"Forget it, that place isn't for them. Lifa said coldly.

"Well, yes, if you live in it, you're going to lose something......"

The best hotel in town, dare to be a thief?

"Hehehe, I'll arrange this for you!" After arriving at the palace with us just now, Alicia, the captain of the Queen's Bodyguard, who had stayed inside, walked out of the palace and heard our conversation, so he said, "Her Majesty has already made arrangements. ”

"Oh, can I go with me?" said Matthew, teasing, "I'm an evil necromancer!"

"Well, the queen knows that your team has made a lot of contributions to the investigation of infectious diseases, so she also said that you are here, and you have made an exception to live in the embassy with the envoys of the principality!"

"Sounds like a good place to be!" I said excitedly, "Then take us there without further ado!"

Alicia led us to the council square, on the edge of the square, there is a stone gate on both sides, looking up, this is a three-story mansion, the style is not inferior to the palace!

Inside, we met a handsome dark elf man.

"Hello, messenger from the principality. My name is Buhai, and I'm currently the steward here. ”

No...... Sea?

"Poof...... I couldn't help but laugh out loud, but quickly calmed down, "It's okay." I think of happy things. ”

"A lot of people think it's funny when they hear the name for the first time, it doesn't matter. Buhai smiled.

After that, we followed Buhai to visit the entire mansion, the first floor is the dining room and the staff resting place, the second floor has a conference room, there are men's and women's baths on both sides, it seems to be prepared for the relaxation of distinguished guests, and the third floor is full of guest rooms. Since the Dark Elf Kingdom has been closed deep underground, there is little contact with other countries, all the guest rooms are empty, we can't move in immediately, it is said that it has been empty for too long and has not been cleaned, and we have to go in first to clean up the dust, so we sat in the hall and waited for an hour.

I've been wanting to ask for a long time, "Ed, what did Alice say after you sent Logan back?"

Ed just said, "Alice has taken him back to the Duchy." ”

Let's hope nothing goes wrong, though I've come to trust Logan and give him back the amulet that absorbs the Eye of Fury.

After that, we sat together and listened to Matthew talk about the customs of this place, the dark city is underground, and there is little contact with the outside world, but deep underground, there are still other national forces, such as the dwarf kingdom, but their national strength is compared with the dark elf kingdom, and it is only a small thing, and the dark elf kingdom has no intention of annexing them, so it has been peaceful. The Dark City itself is also a peaceful and welcoming place, which is completely different from the first impression of the city's name.

However, the Dark City is also divided into three districts, the upper part is populated by successful political and business people of high status and fame, and each house is worth a lot of money, the Midtown is inhabited by ordinary people, where the magic and warrior guilds are also located, and the lower city is home to the people of all religions and many outlaws, but the headquarters of the Night Emissary Organization is also in the lower city.

Matthew said "the best hotel in the city", referring to a bar frequented by the Night Messenger in the lower city, where secret transactions often take place and there are many thieves and thieves.

Although there are also undercurrents within the Dark City, and there are endless infighting within the city, mainly between the Senate and the Queen's faction, but the people get along with each other happily. Many dark elves became warriors and soldiers, serving the queen or the senate, and many skilled magicians and alchemists were also making outstanding contributions to the city. As for the Nightbringer organization, where Matthew once stayed, it was like a mercenary group, hired by different employers, doing shady things for them, such as stealing items, assassinating targets, stealing information, and so on.

However, among the Night Emissaries, there are also some people who love adventure and are not willing to be mercenaries for a lifetime, so they form adventurers and devote themselves to exploring deep underground.

Matthew once went to a place called the "Drifting Cave" outside of the Dark City and went on an adventure with two of his teammates.

"That's right, Matthew. I suddenly asked, "You said that the natives of Dark City are all dark elves, so how did you three know each other?"

"That's a long story. Formerly a member of the Revolutionary Army against the Human Empire, Lifa later came to the Dark Elf Kingdom to escape the Empire's want. At that time, the Dark Elf Kingdom was still relatively welcoming to humans, and there were many human merchants in the Dark City. As for Eddard......"

Ed said coldly: "As soon as I transferred from the Demon Realm, I went to the Drifting Cave, and it was Mathieu who saved me. ”

Later, Sharan's body was sent from the Duchy, and those human merchants knew that this would affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries, so they left the Dark Elf Kingdom one after another. We just finished exploring the drifting cave and were about to go to the human principality to continue our new adventure, but unfortunately it happened that the Dark Elf Kingdom declared war on the principality, and we couldn't get by. ”

"It's okay, when the source of the plague is solved, you can go with us!" I said with a smile.

After cleaning, I moved into the third floor with Matthew, Danio and Ed, Lifa and Amy, and we stayed on the third floor in pairs.

There are two small beds in the room, a desk, a dressing table, a coffee table and a sofa.

The huge transparent windows on the side can take in the entire parliamentary square, and there are golden curtains woven of silk on both sides, and the room is quite bright with the light of the magic lamp of the dark city, and as long as the curtains are drawn, you can return to darkness, so there is no lighting object similar to candles in the room.

"Haha, it's much better than the hotels in the lower city!" Matthew turned over and got on a bed, sat on it and jumped twice, "This mattress is quite elastic!"

Indeed, it is truly a mansion, and the Race Lia Lodge is much more luxurious.

"Nicole, I heard that you had a scolding battle with Elder Sharpen at the entrance to DarkCity!"

It got going on pretty fast.

"Originally, I just wanted to delay a little time, and by the way, I handed the letter to him to prove our identity, but I didn't expect this guy to burn the letter directly, of course I was angry!"

Then, I wondered, "Do you know that elder?"

"I don't know, it's just that I used to hear others talk about this Elder Sharprun when I was in the Night Emissary Organization. However, the Senate and the Queen's faction have always been inseparable, and the Senate often finds people to infiltrate the homes of the Queen's faction to steal information. ”

"But I think Darkland is quite peaceful. ”

"Peace is just a façade, and there are many conspiracies on the dark side of the city that we cannot know about. ”

I was silent for a while, and then asked, "Then who do you think is better, the queen or the elder?"

Matthew asked me in turn, "I haven't been in contact with them, but you, you should think the queen is more virtuous, right?"

"At least the Queen doesn't want our lives. ”

"The Nightbringer organization has never belonged to any faction - though I've quit the organization. Whether it is the queen or Sharpen, they all have their own plans in their hearts, and when necessary, they will use everyone else as a bargaining chip and a pawn. ”

I said thoughtfully, "I see. ”

"So, I suggest you settle down and be an adventurer, and don't have anything to do with politics. ”

I nodded and said, "I know that after this mission, I will return to the principality." ”

Matthew laughed out loud and said, "You don't have to go back so soon, there are also many adventure holy places near Dark City!"

"Well...... Think about it then!"

————————————

After a night's rest, the next day, the six of us packed our "magic immunity books" and set off from the Dark City.

Walk past the place where the Headless Horsemann had fallen before, and then we walked to the side of the path.

However, just as we entered, we suddenly felt a tremor, and the surrounding stone walls actually began to move!

The shaking stopped abruptly, and our way back was gone!

I turned my head to look at Matthew, but I saw that she was also at a loss!

"Is that the first time you've passed here?"

I asked this question in vain, and judging by her reaction, I obviously haven't encountered such a situation!

This sucks!
