Arad's crooked savior

"In the calm lake water, a fallen leaf suddenly fell from the shore. The ripples seemed very weak, not enough to overturn a stable ship, but it could sweep across the entire lake." Harris explained, and then Too lazy to continue talking to this ignorant old man.

Although she herself is not young anymore, her voice has begun to change, and it is no longer as smooth and clear as when she was young.

She was a strong person in the Evil Dragon Era. Almost seven hundred years have passed since then.

"You said another world..." Xia Plun was shocked when he heard this, and then quickly recalled a strange thing from his somewhat messy mind.

Probably when the Dark City just floated on the ground, the Dark Elf Guards tried to explore various floating island areas in the sky. During a patrol, the Guards discovered several dark elves with strange behaviors near the gold mines where the dwarves were active.

Although their characteristic appearance is also that of the dark elves, their clothing and daily cognition are very different from the dark elves in Dark City.

In particular, they were nagging about the peaceful trade between the Dark Elves and Belmare, stable diplomacy, and the fact that the queen married a human... It has been seven years since Belmare was destroyed.

Moreover, Queen Meia is still young. In human years, she is at most around eighteen years old.

The noble body of the royal family is pure and pure, how can it be a match, especially if it is a human being!

It's just nonsense and unreasonable.

Therefore, at that time, the Senate felt that there must be a serious problem with those guys' heads, but after careful inspection, they could not find the cause, so they suspected that they were cursed by the gold in the mine.

But after all, they were friends of the same race. Even if they were cursed, it would not be easy to commit suicide, so they were locked up and the matter was hastily done.

The dark elf has a long lifespan, and in the blink of an eye, he has forgotten all those things a few years ago.

"Is it possible that what those dark elves said is actually true!" Xia Plun still found it unbelievable, and his own perception was a bit distorted.

…

Although the dark elves have never been able to discover the changes inside the floating islands, based on the familiar topography, they have still marked where the floating islands were originally and what secrets of the underground world have happened.

The adventurers led by the New Temple of Remedia quickly rushed to the area where the ancient demons Baroque and Gargoyles lived. Among other things, the body materials of these ancient creatures were quite valuable and a huge temptation. .

The ancestors of the assassins, Harris and Shaplen, decided to go to the highest floating island. More than six hundred years later, their strength has become even stronger.

Maybe we can find a chance to kill the evil dragon completely and end this imperfect past.

"I never thought I would have the chance to visit Dark City again. The changes are so big." Just when Hareth was about to move, an old voice came from his ear.

Unexpectedly, Xia Pulun, who had always been arrogant and had a gloomy expression, bent his burly waist and faced an old man with dark red skin and a rickety skin behind him.

"Lord Boren!"

The first chief of the Senate, the Sixth Hero Firebender Bolun, he was wise, wise and prestigious, and was once the commander-in-chief of the Evil Dragon War.

It was also he who dug out lava caves near the Kayak volcano, allowing the dark elves in the cold to get enough warmth to survive.

Dark elves are forced to live underground. They hate the dazzling sunlight, but that doesn't mean they like a cold environment and don't need heat.

Most of the "corpse thieves" who were resurrected by Di Ruiji's phantom showed a strong desire to attack and were irrational. Only a few elite and powerful people in the past could barely maintain their sanity.

The changes in Dark City were subversive to Bolen, but he had no time to ask any more questions. In his ears, he vaguely heard the roar of his "old friend", which was waving its rotten wings and spitting poisonous mist of death. The immortal dragon.

"Let's go, lead the way. This time, I'm going to take that guy on the road with me. Maybe we can see some old friends again." Bolen is stooped and thin, with a red-skinned figure, but he has a calm and unhurried leadership demeanor.

Harris didn't think anything was wrong, but Xia Plun looked in a daze for a while, with a complex expression of nostalgia on his wrinkled old face.

He seemed to have seen that tragic evil dragon battle again. Countless dark elves and dwarf warriors fought one after another to exterminate the evil dragon, and at that moment they gave their backs to each other.

"What a pity. In the past thousand years or so of the dwarves, there has only been one dwarf king with a pretty good mind. The current dwarf king Videl is also a greedy fool." This thought flashed through Xia Plun's mind.

Then he no longer thought about anything else. The moment he landed on the Evil Dragon Floating Island, Xia Plun silently turned around and looked down at the prosperous Dark City below. It is now an undeniably great and miraculous place. city.

Momo held the staff tightly, with a sense of twilight and determination all over his body, and never looked back.

A corner of Dark City, the temporary residence of the imperial envoys

"Ah, I didn't expect that Dark City would suddenly be in chaos, and even the Senate would be dispatched." Barn glanced at the floating island with black mist, and clicked his tongue a few times, but his temper was still carefree.

Their mission was a "fake" one, for the residents of Dark City. The real mission was from Count Mastiff. I heard that several distinguished princesses were also involved.

There are only about thirty or forty people, but except for two or three imperial barons (nobles), they are all disguised elites of the Iron Wolf Knights.

Deputy Captain Hyde glanced at Barn with a cold aura and said, "Yesterday, I saw people from the Empire sneaking into contact with a few adventurers."

"You are worthy of your character as deputy captain. After all, I am half a level older than you, and I don't even know how to use honorifics." Barn shrugged, grabbed an apple, took a hard bite, and then said: " I know what you want to ask, but it’s not my instigation. To put it in your style, you are just...a noble and elegant big shot, with a little self-righteousness."

"But you knew it!" Hyde emphasized his tone, his eyes threatening.

Hyde, who comes from a military family, has extremely high qualities. Coupled with his aura as a magic gunner who has been trained for hundreds of battles, ordinary people who can oppress him will be breathless, and those with a weak heart will even tremble.

"The people who placed the bottles are some adventurers who are greedy for money. They have nothing to do with you, me, and the empire. Do you understand?" Barn ignored his strong pressure and quickly put the bottle in his hand. The apple was gnawed clean.

As a new generation viscount of the empire, he is eager to seize every opportunity to climb up, but now that the disaster in Dark City is happening, it is too late for His Majesty to rejoice, and he is too lazy to meddle in others' business.

He can add icing on the cake at the last minute, but he will never provide help in times of need.

"But there are millions of people in this city! Millions!" Hyde squeezed out almost every word through his teeth.

"Yeah, you can skewer those stupid pigs with one shot, but you have to do it secretly. I just don't like them." Barn still looked indifferent and pointed diligently. Pointing to the room behind you.

It was cold and cold outside. After being entertained by the Senate that day, the imperial envoys had not gone out much except for necessary activities.

"Haha, thieves also need to survive the winter. They have become more and more rampant recently." Hyde suddenly seemed to be complaining about something, and a smile appeared on his cold face.

But Barn knew that the deputy captain, who had always had an upright character and could not tolerate sand in his eyes, was really angry now.

He silently prayed for a few seconds for those imperial fat pigs, that they would not die too ugly, but that it would be a pity for the people's blood flowing all over them.

Afterwards, he and Hyde would of course need to take some joint responsibility for "guard failure", but it didn't matter. After all, to put it bluntly, dead people have almost no value.

After confirming that Hyde had left, Baan immediately changed his careless expression and turned to stare deeply at the black mist floating island, seemingly thoughtful.

He had been hearing and paying attention to what happened in the city recently. Those who had passed away long ago had actually "lived" again because of some kind of power.

Although it seems to be different from before when he was alive, it is indeed "alive", and for him, this is enough.

"Emily, maybe, this is an opportunity for me! The last chance!"
