"Drow Elves are also known as Dark Elves. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 After the destruction of "Вe3nenathcвetлoctглenahaohe" (Elvish for "Stars to Give Light to the Seeker"), the upper elves belonging to the Gwendrin nobles at the time used the last bit of magical energy left over from the disappearance of the blessing to remove all the surviving elven nobles from the Vuld, but abandoned tens of millions of unarmed elven civilians in front of the human butcher's knife. In order to survive, these desperate elves slaughtered by the human army had to burrow into the filthy, dim, labyrinthine sewers of the Vulders. But the red-eyed human knights and warlocks didn't want to let go of these lower elves, and they sealed off the entire entrance and exit of the Urd sewers, trying to bury these lower elves who had been abandoned by their compatriots alive.

"Ah——!h However, although Xiuqi's posture is terrifying, anyone who has fiddled with the sword can see that this blow is really strong and dry, except for a good-looking shelf, whether it is speed, strength or slashing angle, it is a mess, not to mention a battle-hardened veteran like Haredith, even a young swordsman who has just debuted can easily dodge this blow.
Hareddieck, who was standing opposite Xiuqi and was ready to fight, couldn't help but be stunned, but instantly understood what Xiuqi wanted to do. So he also cooperated to make a look of almost being cut by the other party, and dodged the blow "embarrassed".
Xiuqi grinned at Hareddick with his back to Blake, then slowly raised his greatsword again and slowly slashed it out. This time, Hareddieck was even more devoted, and he specially rolled to the ground a few times to show his embarrassment.
It was only when Xiuqi slashed for the third time that Haredik blocked the soft blow with his double blades. Although Haredith could have blocked this without removing any force. But he still made the appearance of being shattered by the great sword, took a few steps back, and shouted, "Eh!".
The monkey-like performance between the two was so ugly that even Yusna, who was halfway out of the crack in the kitchen door, couldn't help but laugh, but it made Blake, who was standing behind Xiuqi, excited. His bloodless face, flushed with excitement, swung his thin fist and shouted excitedly, "Come again, come again, kill him!"
When Xiuqi raised the great sword for the fourth time, someone finally stood up to stop the farce. "Damiko is on top, what are you two doing!" the knights who had been surrounding them parted from the middle of the road, and the knight chief Hanlong, who had changed into civilian clothes, walked up with a serious expression and shouted. Hearing this, both Haredik and Xiuqi had a great feeling of finally being liberated, and unconsciously "exhaled" at the same time.
Han Long stepped out of the crowd, he glanced at the whip marks on Xiuqi's body, and then at Blake, who was grinning loudly on the side, and frowned to make things half clear.
"What do you look like!Mr. Nemo is our important guest, how dare you add a sword to him, have you forgotten all the etiquette of a knight!Get out of here and think about what a knight is!" Han Long deliberately shouted at Xiuqi, who lowered his head in a look of shame and took the opportunity to retreat into the crowd.
At this time, Han Long continued to reprimand the knights who had been surrounding him: "What are you little guys doing standing here? Madame will come down soon, you fellows who smell like wild horses don't hurry up and wash the smell of your body for me, do you want the smell of your body to smoke Madame!"
When the knights heard the commander's order, they immediately dispersed from the hall, and the originally crowded hall immediately became empty, except for Hanlon, Haredith, Blake, and the warlock who was sitting in the corner of the hall, immersed in his own world.
Han Long walked up to Blake, who had not yet figured out what was going on, bowed slightly and said to him, "Master Blake, I'm glad to see you return safely. Why don't you go and wash the dust outside the house, change into a clean set of clothes, and say goodbye to your mother?" Blake looked around a little confused, and then pointed at Hanlon and shouted, "Hanlon, you came just in time! This filthy elf just insulted me! Kill him for me!"
With a smile on his face, Hanlon said to Blake, "Anyone who dares to insult you and the Miles family will be punished severely, but why don't we wait for Madame to come down before condemning this thief to death and then formally execute him?"
"No!" Blake shook his head viciously and said, "I want him dead!"
Han Long frowned slightly, and then continued to smile and said, "It is not an easy thing to decide a person's life and death, even if it is a humble gray elf. But I believe that a just execution will be more powerful than such a private murder, my young master. ”
"Hanlon!" Blake exclaimed, pointing to the old wrinkled face of Knight Captain Hanlon, "I am your master! I don't need you to teach me what to do!
The Knight of Hanlong said solemnly: "Forever follow my lord until the end of the world and time." If our lord is virtuous, I will turn into a sword and slay at the enemy whom my lord has pointed at, and if my lord is foolish, I will turn into armor and block the sword that slashes at my lord. ”
"Yes, you're my sword!, and now I command you!Kill him, kill this filthy elf!—you damn wanted!" Blake smirked at Hareddick, who was standing beside him.
"Blake, my son, how can you speak like that to Mr. Hanlon!" Haredition followed the prestige, and saw a woman in a plain blue dress, accompanied by two maids and Burke, coming down the stairs, followed by a little girl about eight or nine years old, looking down with curiosity on her face.
The woman walked slowly down the stairs, and both Hanlon and Blake, who had been arrogant just now, bowed to her and said in unison, "My lady/mother!"
Haredith took a closer look at the Baroness Miles, a recently widowed baroness in her early thirties, who had taken away the immaturity and youthfulness of her girlhood, but had not left any trace on her beautiful face, but had dressed her in a mature and charming coat. The Baroness was fair-skinned, unadorned with rouge, and had an unadorned natural beauty, and her long, beautiful blond hair was not in the slightest mess, even in a place as messy as Azonica. Haredith believed that the beautiful young lady must have taken a bath just now, for even standing a few steps away from her could smell the enticing scent of acacia from her.
The Baroness nodded slightly at Hanlon, and then she smiled and said to her son, "Blake, my son, I just made you a brand new fur hat last night, why don't you go upstairs and try it?"
"But Mommy——!" Blake was very aggrieved and was about to say something, but was hit back by a look from the baroness, so he had to purse his lips and glared at Haredith angrily and walked upstairs. ...,
The Baroness looked at Blake until his figure disappeared up the stairs, then turned to Hanlon and bowed slightly, "I beg your pardon for that child, Mr. Hanlon." He has not yet recovered from the grief of his father's death. ”
Han Long placed his left hand on his chest, bowed deeply and said, "I can understand, my lady. ”
The Baroness smiled, then turned her gaze to Hareddick and said softly, "You must be our new guide, I am Emmanuel Duandon Miles, the wife of Baron Jon Miles. Pls your name is ......"
Haredith also smiled back, "I'm Nemo from the Grey Mist Swamp. ”
"Nemo, nice to meet you. The Baroness folded her hands together and pressed her head on her lower abdomen and nodded, "I guess you must have traveled back and forth between the Western Sand Sea and the Central Avenue many times, otherwise Uncle Tepenny would not have let you come with us." ”
"Twenty-four times, Baroness. Most recently, in February of this year, a gnome caravan asked me to be their guide and brought them back to Azonica from Malibu. ”
"I'm relieved to hear you say that. The Baroness smiled charmingly at Haredith and said to Hanlon, "It's funny to say that we've lived here for a long time, but we haven't once experienced the charm of this exotic city. It just so happens that Bart is here today, and I'd like to ask him to take me out for a while, so I'm sorry for you, Mr. Hanlon. After all, things like swords and roads are the job of you men, and a woman like me really shouldn't interfere too much, all I need to do is wait quietly for the final good news. ”
"I will certainly live up to your expectations, my lady. Han Long said respectfully.
The Baroness smiled and whispered to everyone, "Then I'm rude first." Then he put his hand lightly on Burke's arm and walked out of the hotel.
At this time, the little girl who followed Baroness downstairs hurriedly ran up a few steps, pulled the corner of the Baroness's clothes, and said childishly, "Mother, can I go with you?"
"No way!" Baroness Miles, having coldly dropped a word to her daughter, walked out of the hotel without looking back, accompanied by Burke, and the little girl had to pout, pouting pitifully, and her eyes reddened as her mother's back disappeared from her eyes.
After the baroness left, the Knight Chief Hanlon sighed heavily and said to Haredik with an unkind look in his eyes, "Elf, you are really going to cause us trouble. ”
Haredik spread his hands and said disapprehantly, "Hey, he's your young master and not mine." ”
Han Long frowned tightly and said, "I hope that your ability to recognize the way can be half as good as your verbal skills." Let's talk about the route. ”
"No problem. Hareditik shrugged his shoulders and said, then he noticed that his pants were being gently pulled, so he looked down and saw that the little girl was pulling at the hem of his pants, looking at him with big round eyes and saying, "Your name is Nemo, can I join you?"
Hareddik glanced at Hanlon, and Hanlon's face seemed to be a little embarrassed, and he was about to say no, "Miss Beatta......"
The little girl named Beata turned to Hanlon's lap and pleaded with a little sad face: "Mr. Hanlon, I will never quarrel with you too much, I swear, please, okay?"
Seeing the little girl's appearance like this, Han Long squatted down and touched the little girl's head, and said softly with pity: "Of course Miss Beatta, we welcome you to join." ”
