Broad World

Ust Natha's Mage Tower is the tallest building in the entire city, with nine floors. There are more than 20 people here with the title of master alone, and all of them have a spellcasting level of no less than fifteen. The chief is a powerful legendary mage who has surpassed the limits of ordinary people.

It can be said that in this city, apart from the mistresses who are at the top of the ruling class, the Mage Tower is the most powerful. Most importantly, it is impossible for men to become priests, so mages are the best choice.

Although the skin of most dark elves has very strong magic resistance, in many cases, mages are still superior to warriors. Like the surface, the supernatural has always been more likely to inspire awe. Of course, those low-level rookies are not included.

Since Eredlin City was destroyed, Chasma wandered alone in the Underdark for two full years with hatred in her heart. During this period, he experienced the most tragic period in his life, and then discovered a very special + no + wrong + .s. ore by chance. It contains very powerful power, and it emits deadly radiation all the time.

By researching and consulting ancient classics, the dark elf master (mage) discovered a secret that was enough to shock the world, that is why the dark elves became completely different from the surface elves. It is recorded in many books that more than 10,000 years ago, when the dark elves were still living on the surface, they looked the same as their cousins. But since he was exiled underground after the failure of the Battle of the Crown, it didn't take long for his body to change, and he also developed abnormal magic resistance.

Obviously. This is not just because of being forcibly transformed by spells. Because the effect of that curse is only to make the dark elves unable to adapt to the sunlight. That's all, there's no need for a benefit like resistant skin.

Some books generalize it as being affected by the radiation from the center of the earth, but many mages who have been to the Underdark understand that this is pure nonsense. There are many powerful spellcasters who have lived in the dark elf city for more than ten years, and they have not felt the radiation mentioned in the book at all.

But the ore that Chasma found that gave off this radiation provided a reasonable explanation, especially since it was so close to the entrance of the dark elves into the underground.

About tens of kilometers away from the city of Uster Natha, there is an abandoned mine pit, which is densely packed with the bones of a large number of dark elves. All appeared to have died from the deadly radiation of the ore.

According to Chasma's inference, the dark elves back then should have been affected by this kind of thing, and their bodies had undergone unpredictable mutations. However, the amount of radiation at that time should be very small, causing the body to start to develop resistance a little bit, which may be the origin of the resistant skin. In his opinion, since this substance can create the unique underground overlord dark elf, it must also contain very powerful power.

In the next few years, the great (mage) master repeatedly conducted in-depth research without sleeping and eating, and finally invented a seventh-level magic "refining extraction", which extracted a silver-white substance from the brown-black ore that shone with metallic luster. .

Later, a series of repeated experiments were carried out. He also discovered that this substance is not only a highly poisonous substance, but also if properly squeezed with spells. In an instant, unimaginable energy will burst out, far exceeding the level of ninth-level magic. The most important thing is that almost few spells can withstand the radiation, shock waves, light and heat produced by the explosion.

The ecstatic Chasma began to develop corresponding spells for this substance, but this process obviously will not be smooth sailing. After several failures, he finally understood the difficulty, and without hesitation sneaked a piece of purified spar into his head, in order to allow his body to feel the subtle changes in the radiation.

Have to say, this is a crazy decision. Everyone on earth knows the horror of enriched uranium. Just a little bit can cause thousands of people to die in pain, and there is no possibility of cure.

Perhaps the dark elf's own magic resistance had an effect, or it may be that the body of the great (magic) mage had a more serious mutation. In short, he survived, and at the same time successfully developed several deadly spells, All of a sudden, he made a name for himself in Ust Natha City, becoming the second only to the chief master in the Mage Tower.

At this moment, in the secret room on the sixth floor, Chasma was carefully walking around a giant silver-white ball, her eyes were like looking at her newborn child, full of joy and enthusiasm. He didn't care about the deadly radiation emitted by the sphere, and let out a low, sneer grin.

"Hey hey hey! Henry Angomey, I have already prepared a gift, and I am waiting for your arrival now. I am really looking forward to what kind of expression you will make when you see the flames of destruction..."

At the same time, at the bottom of the Mage Tower, Allen was desperately preparing to escape here alive. He carefully bypassed the patrolling golem, quickly got into the storage room, and immediately closed the door, and then couldn't help coughing out: "Cough...cough cough!"

"What's going on with you, are you sick?". Solaufein came out of the darkness and asked with concern.

He could tell that the human boy in front of him was in poor health. Not only were his cheeks sunken and his cheekbones protruded, but he was also coughing non-stop. He had lost several rounds of weight and looked sickly.

"Cough! I've been drugged (poisoned). Cough cough! It's said to be a (poison) drug that can damage health for a long time, but it's not deadly enough." After speaking, Allen wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, very calm Said. There was neither sadness nor joy on his face, and he spoke as if he had nothing to do with this matter.

Solaufein was taken aback by the boy's performance, and hurriedly cast a detection spell, and then cursed in a low voice through gritted teeth: "Bastard! How dare you use such a vicious method on a child!"

He recognized this poison almost instantly, it was taken from a kind of spider poison gland unique to the underground, and then carefully blended by the high-ranking priestess, the poisoned person would be tortured within a few months, and finally died of all kinds of diseases die slowly. It can be said that this is the most vicious and the longest-suffering method among all the methods of the dark elves.

Allen coughed for a while. Take a deep breath. Slowly calm down. He laughed at himself and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I didn't absorb much, most of it was vomited out, and I won't be able to die for a while. How is it, is the operation on the surface going well?".

"It's not bad. I made an agreement with the surface elves. They said they would help send the news. It won't be long before your father will come to rescue you." Solaofen said with a slight sigh. He also found out. This boy is becoming more and more like his own compatriots, especially those almost ruthless eyes, exuding the desire for power all the time, even purer than the real dark elves.

It was hard to imagine that such emotions would appear in a boy less than ten years old. It is foreseeable that if he does not die halfway, he will definitely become a powerful spellcaster who shocked the world in the end.

Hearing the news, Allen breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and bowed slightly to Solaufen: "Thank you, thank you very much for everything you have done. I am very aware of the risks involved. If there is a slight difference, it will kill you .”

"It's nothing, I'm the same as you. It's just like escaping from here. The city of Ust-Nasa is too depressing, so depressing that people can't breathe. Tell me while there is still time Let’s talk about things on the surface, how do you usually live, do you also like to fight for power and profit like my compatriots?”. After speaking, Solaufein's eyes showed longing and curiosity.

For a dark elf who had never left the ground, this surface operation allowed him to see another world. There are bright starry sky, verdant trees, various sounds, less dangerous animals, and a group of happy residents.

But when the army of dark elves arrived, everything changed. The bloodthirsty desire drove them to a brutal massacre. Looking at the desperate faces before death, Solaufein hated his compatriots even more. He wanted to pull out his weapon several times, and wanted to dig out the hearts of these guys to see if they were black, but in the end he held back, because it was useless, not to mention there was a child waiting for his rescue .

Thinking of home, Alan's sharp eyes immediately softened a lot. After coughing a few times, he said with a smile: "My family is very simple, with a strict father, a smart and capable mother, a kind grandma, and finally a naughty aunt and sister. Life is a bit monotonous, basically In addition to the fixed classes every day, the rest of the time is eating and playing."

"Because I am the first in line heir of the family, I was disciplined relatively strictly. Thinking about it now, I was really naive at that time. I actually thought that as long as the territory had enough troops, I could defeat all enemies. Don't you think it's funny? To be honest, I am now starting to thank the dark elf mage who kidnapped me, because he let me see the real side of the world."

"Father is right. The essence of the world is the survival of the fittest and the weak. Ordinary people without power can only live humblely. Their fate is in the hands of others from the beginning to the end. I don't want to be such a person, so I Desire for power, extremely powerful power. As for the struggle for power you mentioned, it exists everywhere, but it is not as intense as the dark elves, and most of the time there is no need to distinguish between life and death."

After listening silently, Solaufein put his hands on the boy's head and advised, "Alan, you are still a child, so you shouldn't think too much. The real world is too cruel. You should have a happy childhood."

"Hahahaha! Cough, cough, cough..." Allen coughed and laughed, tears streaming down his face. He looked very crazy, and it took him a while to calm down. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Happy childhood? That thing has long since ceased to exist. From the second day I was arrested, I understood the truth that it is impossible for a child to survive in the hands of these guys. "

"Well, you have your own choice. I hope you won't regret it in the future. I'm leaving now. Be careful yourself. You must know that the city is not peaceful recently." Solaufein stood up and sighed. He felt sad for the child in front of him, and at the same time felt disgusted by the actions of his compatriots...
