Diablo Destruction

Chapter 945 The First Enemy

"Purple heart...what does it mean?"

I asked this question as I recalled the lines where Zeluka appeared.

"Slightly dark."

The other party said two words softly, which made me speechless.

"In other words, the elves have recovered a lot of fragments now, right?"

Along the way, although Sister Colgate kept complaining, which made me at a loss what to do, she still occasionally told me all the information I wanted to know and she knew.

"Of course, not only the Adventurers Alliance, but also our elves are masters everywhere."

Jeluka said matter-of-factly, without showing a proud look or a teasing tone. To a certain extent, she had always remained cold and serious, and would only reveal other expressions when needed to match her facial expressions. With her expression, she is also a quasi-three-no character.

Why do all three attributes appear in the maid? Puzzling.

"However, after all, there is still a lack of a super master in the second world who can control the scene. Her Majesty the Queen happened to be missing and His Majesty the Prince was free, so I could only make use of the waste and ask His Highness the Prince to come over and help. Of course, it is not you. No, the purpose of Great Elder Yalandan in doing this is also to allow the elves to recognize you as His Royal Highness as soon as possible. After all, there are still many elves who are unconvinced, so thank the Great Elder for his good intentions."

I can understand this. For example, what was the name of the guy I met at the wedding? In short, I gave him the nickname Red B at the time. He has the strength to be no less than me and can even defeat me. , the elves are indeed experts, but...

"I appreciate Yalandan's kindness, but...did I hear it wrong just now? It seems like I heard disrespectful words like trash. Is this also Yalandan's original line?"

Smiling and clenching my fists, a vein appeared on my forehead.

Turning around, he still faced me with that very serious and deceptive expression: "Your Highness, this is just your illusion."

"..."

what to do? I really want to hang this maid with a bad character upside down on the elf city gate.

"Speaking of which, Jeluka, why would you choose to meet in that place? Wouldn't it be better to just ask the soldiers to take me to the main elf city?"

Although I might get scolded by her for asking like this, I'm still a little curious. Although she has a venomous mouth, this maid doesn't seem to be someone who would spend energy on such meaningless things.

Jeluka paused in her steps.

"Because I heard some unexpected news." She walked straight ahead and explained without looking back.

"Accident?"

"Yes, it was unexpected. I occasionally heard that there were a few restless guys on our side who seemed to want to test His Highness, so I had no choice but to come in advance."

"Sure enough, the elves also have radical elements." I sighed.

"We elves are all elegant races who love art and peace. I want to say this. Although it is very annoying, I do not intend to deny your statement. There are all kinds of birds in the forest. Remember this sentence It must have come from His Highness the Prince, it is indeed a very vulgar but very vivid saying."

"Well, all in all, thank you for your honesty and praise." I showed a subtle expression.

"But if it's a temptation, just let them come."

"Well, with His Highness the Prince's strength, he can indeed say such a thing, but I don't want those idiots to have a preconceived view of His Highness the Prince as a reckless man who only knows fists. Elves are slightly different from humans, and force alone cannot convince them. Yes, at this point, even I have to praise the simplicity and straightforwardness of human beings in this regard."

"I always feel like you want to say that we humans are all a bunch of reckless people who talk with their fists." The corners of my mouth kept twitching.

"It's just your illusion. After all, it is possible to give birth to a great person like Master Akara. How can it be summarized by a mere reckless man?"

"It feels like you still don't deny that most humans are a bunch of reckless people. Well, I won't argue with you on this. In our hearts, many elves are just pretending to be noble. There is really nothing to argue about. , only when the two races become more harmonious and understand each other better can there be more understanding."

"It's really a big shot's statement, but I also agree with your point of view. Perhaps Elder Yalandlan asked me to come here to let me know more about human beings."

"Have you... rarely had contact with humans before?"

I was immediately curious. When I was in the elves, Jeluka gave me the impression of being a slanderous person with a bad personality and so on... Of course, let’s put these main impressions aside first and look for an impression placed in the deepest corner. That is - very strong.

If you are very strong, you should have traveled a lot outside. If you have traveled outside, it is impossible to say such things. After all, the world outside the elves is a huge stage with us humans and the hell race as the protagonists and villains. , as long as she goes out, she will inevitably go deep into it.

Therefore, elven adventurers who have extensive travel experience outside will not be so strong against humans, because many elves who do not know the truth today still have views on humans that were tens of thousands of years ago. I can't say what kind of virtue a person has, but now, I can responsibly tell all races that most of today's human beings are a bunch of cute guys.

"Well, except for His Royal Highness the Prince and a few elders from the Adventurer Alliance, there are almost none."

Jeluka admitted my guess very honestly.

"So that's it."

I nodded, feeling suddenly relieved.

The unscrupulous character that Jeluka has always shown may just be a subconscious means of self-protection due to uneasiness in getting along with strangers. Perhaps Jeluka is not very good at getting along with others.

After thinking about it this way, I have slightly changed my view of this guy.

"Really? If Grandma Yalandlan means this, then get to know us well. After understanding us, she will definitely change her mind towards us humans."

Yes, I nodded and said with absolute certainty.

"I've been observing him since we met."

At some point, Jeluka had a notepad and a quill in her hand.

"Oh, what's the result?" I approached with interest.

"Yes, it has indeed changed."

Jeluka looked at me seriously, unfolded the notepad in her hand, and let me read enough.

There is only a simple four-word comment written above.

Pervert...Idiot...

Hey hey! !

Then, Jeluka thought for a while and added a few more words.

But not like a bad guy.

"..."

This guy is really... not cute at all.

Under the leadership of Jeluka, we arrived at the teleportation station in a short while. With the teleportation station, it was easy to handle. We no longer had to strain our feet. A white light flashed directly. After several teleportations, we arrived at a destination. .

The main elf city.

It has the same charm as the Elf King City in the first world, a fairy tale world with birds singing and fragrant flowers, a beautiful and refined fairyland on earth. The only difference is that there is no crystal tree here.

That's right, after all, if there is one unique item in each world, then what's the point?

Jeluka also gave me a brief explanation of this main elf city on the way. Generally speaking, the structure here is the same as that of the royal city, but the area is several times smaller. The magic circle of the royal city that the elves are proud of is also copied. It is placed here just because there is no core of the Crystal Tree. At best, it can only be said to be the main city magic array, which is greatly inferior to the royal city magic array.

As soon as she walked out of the teleportation array, an old elf woman came up to her with a smile. It seemed that as a prince, she was relatively easy to get along with.

"This is the person in charge of the main elf city, Elder Mokani." Jeluka introduced me.

"It's really shameful for Your Highness to bother traveling thousands of miles to help."

Elder Mokani showed a kind smile and looked me up and down with a smile. Because the etiquette and elegance of the elves are really impeccable, I can only describe Elder Mokani's behavior at this time like a lady picking pork. appearance.

"Elder Mokani is the aunt of the previous Elf Queen. I wonder what kind of virtues she has among a large number of people who dare to turn her precious grandniece around."

Jeluka behind her whispered.

Go, go, go, who abducted her grand-niece? Who is her grand-niece?

I sorted out the relationship. If the current Elf Queen is her biological aunt, then the grand-niece should be... uh, that unruly little elf girl Beja.

Who would abduct that unruly and willful Princess Taiping? You bastard, I haven’t even avenged the drunken incident at the wedding! !

I turned my head and glared at Jeluka from the corner of my eye, who was pretending to be nonchalant.

"And Knight Carol, thank you for your hard work. Come on, don't stand here. Let's talk about it when we go back."

Mokani also respects Jeluka who is a maid. Is it really because of the seventh rank officer in front of the prime minister? With the name of Yalandlan, how easy is it for this shady maid to mix things up?

But...well, are my ears hallucinating? What she just seemed to be talking about was [Knight of Carol], her? knight? The elf thief who specializes in immorality is pretty much the same.

well? No...that's not right! etc! There must have been a mistake before, right? What Mokani just called was actually Kaluki? ! !

I looked back at Jeluka with speechless eyes.

"There is no way. As the personal maid of the great elder, if you leave rashly, it will have a great impact. Your Highness, you have not fully understood the status of the elven clan of the great elder. If others know that the personal maid of the great elder has come here, , it will be very troublesome.”

"Then what did Grandma Yalandlan say? She will find that you are no longer here."

"It's very simple, just say retreat." Jeluka looked incomprehensible.

Simple, your sister! Shut up your sister! Your sister thinks you are practicing the Goddess of Serving Skills and want to go into seclusion! !

"Then about Carole going to find Artoria..."

"That's easier. Just say that we didn't find it so we came back, right?"

Jelu Kalu looked at me suspiciously. Was she doubting my IQ?

I scratched my hair frantically and decided to ignore it. Anyway, I knew that the person in front of me was Sister Colgate. Anyway, I just needed to finish the task quickly and go back to have a relaxing birthday. Everything else. Why should I care so much about it? Let them worry about the affairs of the elves themselves.

Under the leadership of Mokani, we came to the hall. After serving two cups of fragrant tea, Mokani continued to look at me with her elegant and polite eyes, and smiled kindly.

"I've always wanted to see what kind of figure the person who is worthy of Artoria, the alliance elder known as the Twin Stars of the other continent, is. Unfortunately, on the day of the wedding, I can't let go of the trivial matters here no matter what. I missed it. The most important moment, it’s such a shame.”

Speaking of the wedding half a year ago, Mokani couldn't help but boo. Indeed, this kind of event was recorded in detail in history books and even symbolized the advent of a new era. If you didn't see it with your own eyes, you might not be able to rest in peace until you die.

"That will disappoint Elder Mokani. I am just an ordinary person. Standing in front of Artoria, I will be blinded by her light."

I laughed and said, when I first saw Artoria, I was indeed blinded in every sense of the word.

"Haha, if you don't mind, just call me Grandma Mokani. That's what Artoria calls me too." Monica chuckled and shook her head.

"Perhaps at first glance, you will indeed have such an idea, but my child, you are one of the mainland's twin stars and the elder of the alliance. These honors are not yours, but the recognition of countless people, so there is no need to be humble, and neither do I. To put it humbly, in this Dark Continent, when it comes to men worthy of Artoria, you are probably the only one."

well? If Monica says this, then aren't we the best men in the entire Dark Continent? Although I disagree and am not so thick-skinned to accept this compliment, please allow me to drift away for a while, just for a moment.

"Altria can be considered half of my child, so we won't say more to be polite. Let's talk about this incident first."

"I'm very sorry for causing trouble to the entire Dark Continent."

I lowered my head and admitted my mistake. If the little ghost was around, I would have given her a slap on the forehead. Although it was not her fault, who made this stupid saint so unlucky that she had to hit her?

"This is Belial's plan. It is our common enemy. There is no right or wrong."

Monica was very reasonable. As she said this, she gently clapped her hands. A female elf knight wearing full heavy armor, with her head firmly covered by an excellent helmet, opened the door and walked out. He came in, handed a wooden box in his hand to Monica, and then stood behind her like an upright poplar, looking intently.

Look, this is a knight. Guys like Lal and Malagby are simply a disgrace to the Paladin.

"So far, our elves have recovered a total of thirty-seven fragments. These fragments have been gathered together and handed over to the mages of the elves, the Adventurer Alliance, and the Horadric clan for joint research. This piece is what we have just recovered. .”

With that said, Monica handed me the wooden box in her hand, and threw it over the transparent lid. A crystal shard similar to the one she saw from the little ghost lay quietly inside. The color was a little dim, probably because of the After the monsters from the third world were summoned, they must have run out of energy.

"By the way, can you tell me what kind of enemies you encountered among these thirty-seven fragments?"

I suddenly asked, this is a question I have always been concerned about.

"Let Amrudina explain this issue." Monica chuckled.

Amrudina?

Just when I was wondering, the female elf knight standing behind Monica who brought the crystal shards suddenly stepped forward and took off the outstanding helmet on her head. Suddenly, she wore a waterfall-like straight and beautiful pale figure. Her hair fell straight down, and her beautiful face, full of calmness and composure, also appeared in front of us.

"Your Highness, Amrudina salutes you."

Holding the helmet, the beautiful elf knight with long pale hair in front of me elegantly gave me a knightly salute.

"Um...ah, hello, Amrudina, nice to meet you."

I was startled by the heroic and elegant appearance of the female knight, and I nodded politely. After all, we are also His Royal Highnesses now. Logically speaking, our identities are only those of Arlandran, Artoria and a few others. Under the elders, you need to be graceful and graceful.

"Amrudina is the captain in charge of this operation. I believe she can give you more accurate information."

Monica motioned Amrudina to sit down and explained to me.

"Then please give me a brief explanation, Amrudina."

I nodded and turned my curious eyes to Amrudina. She had a slender figure that was even more accentuated after wearing heavy armor. It was hard to imagine that such a slender figure could be qualified for the role of a knight.

"It is an honor, Your Highness."

Nodding solemnly, Amrudina immediately explained to me in detail their situation so far.

Among the thirty-seven crystal fragments, twenty-six of them summoned monsters that were only mass-produced ordinary monsters. This is also normal. After all, ordinary monsters in the third world account for hundreds of all monsters. More than 90%, the remaining bosses, elites and lords (mini-boss level) only account for less than 10%.

As for demon king-level monsters, although there are intelligence records from the third world so far, except for those three demon kings (no one knows now that the fourth demon king has appeared and was abducted by a certain old man with hairy legs), There are no more than five in the entire third world, so the probability of being targeted by crystal shards is almost negligible.

The mass-produced ordinary monsters in the third world, in addition to having higher intelligence, are only at the level of mental state, unless they are like Baal's personal bodyguard, the King of Death, Big Pineapple's personal bodyguard, the Forgotten Knight, or Morpheus. Members of the Guards Council of Tuo, these monsters, even at ordinary levels, have pseudo-domain level strength.

Except for these personal guards, if the rest of the ordinary monsters appear alone in the second world, they will only end up in Lordaeron. An ordinary team of adventurers will not be in danger even if they cannot kill each other if they cooperate better. , nothing to fear.

Of the other eleven fragments, eight are at the boss level, which is a little troublesome, because the third world boss level monsters, if they are in the Kurast area or above, may reach pseudo-domain level strength.

Of course, it's just a little trouble. For the huge adventurer alliance and the elves, a monster in the early stage of the pseudo-realm is really not a big role. You should be careful to find it quickly to avoid Such monsters can cause harm to civilians and the general party of adventurers.

The last three crystal shards left are, no surprise, elite-level monsters. Monsters at this level are a little bit trickier. They usually have at least the strength of the junior level of the pseudo-domain, and may even appear at the peak of the pseudo-domain.

If it is a beginner to advanced level of strength in the pseudo-realm, with the current strength of the alliance and the elves in the second world, it is not a problem to kill them, but it is more troublesome to kill them at the peak level of the pseudo-realm. Only when you encounter this kind of monster can you stand out. Demonstrating the importance of individual strength, the number of monsters that have reached this level can no longer make up for it. At least even if the opponent wins, you will have nothing to do with it if you want to run away.

Fortunately, the three elite monsters Amrudina encountered were not strong enemies. The one with the highest strength had just reached the advanced level of the pseudo-realm. In the eyes of me and Carlos, they were the same. A scumbag with a combat power of only 5.

Generally speaking, this is the situation on the Elf side, but according to Akara, it is only more than ten days before the large-scale explosion of crystal fragments, and the primeval forest on the Kurast side is so scary that it can Waving thirty-seven crystal fragments in more than ten days, even if they are just some small characters with insignificant strength, it is not enough to prove the strength of Amrudina and the others, but this intelligence reconnaissance and the drive to work around are enough. It's worthy of my admiration.

"but……"

After a detailed explanation, Amrudina showed an embarrassed expression. On her face, which is rare for elves to be heroic and beautiful, were clearly written the words: If there is trouble, it's your turn.

"Three days ago, we detected the energy fluctuations of the thirty-eighth fragment. This time the enemy was a Hell Knight at the pinnacle of the pseudo-realm. It was very difficult to deal with. After injuring more than ten people on our side, we finally recovered temporarily. We have restricted its area of ​​action, and now no one dares to act rashly."

"Amrudina said seriously, it seems that she injured more than a dozen of her subordinates and failed to complete the mission, which made her very sad.

"However, this Hell Knight is very cunning. He probably expected that we would ask for support. Now he is getting more and more restless. He always wants to break out and leave. If His Royal Highness comes one day later, I am afraid it will choose to break out desperately. ."

"Since this is the case, then without further delay, let's set out immediately to kill this restless monster first. Let's talk about anything when we come back."

I stood up and said to Mokani.

"Okay... okay, this is naturally the best."

Perhaps slightly frightened by my activist style, Amrudina hesitated slightly before revealing a smile from her calm face.

"well done."

Jeluka praised me secretly, but because I didn’t know if this was another of her complaints, I kept silent and looked away.

"Then it's up to you, Wu, can I call you this?"

"Of course, Grandma Mokani."

Looking back with a smile, under the leadership of Amrudina, we bid farewell to the main elf city where we had stayed for less than half an hour.

Probably the place where the elite Hell Knight was trapped was not very far from the main elf city. Amrudina did not take us to the teleportation array, but ran straight out from the city gate and passed through dense forests. Dazzled and disoriented, I ran straight towards the unknown direction.

As expected of the elves who grew up in the forest and have abilities that are not inferior to those of Amazons. If they were an ordinary adventurer, they would have been lost in this environment.

I am extremely envious of the abilities of Amazons and elves. After all, we are maze killers, not jungle killers. For us, it is a little troublesome to find the direction in such a dense forest environment. We can't do it all at once. If you burn it, you will be wanted by the entire elves.

Three black shadows flashed past, and they were quickly jumping through the jungle, led by Amrudina in front of them. Uh, three shadows... No! !

"Why are you here too?"

I turned around and looked at Jeluka who was following me with ease, and asked in various surprises.

Amrudiya is a pseudo-domain level master, and she is very familiar with the environment here. I had to quietly transform into a moon wolf to keep up with me. I didn't expect that this scheming maid could also keep up with her, and her strength was still high. That's not bad. Besides, what does she want to do with coming here? Does she want to complain about me during the battle?

"Elder Yalandlan asked me to assist you, and of course I must stay by your side."

Jeluka still looked like she was naturally angry, and paused.

"I heard that after the war, men's sexual desire is very strong. Your Highness, please be gentle when the time comes. This is my first time."

I:"……"
