Just being a dark elf in Warhammer

Chapter 32 4. The old guy is here

After finishing his meal in the dining area, Darkus returned to the spire where he lived before.

Opening the door was a spiral staircase. The edge of the staircase was filled with mirrors. You could directly see the top of the interior of the spire from the door. He closed the door, drew out the noble curved sword, placed it across his chest, took out a flintlock pistol, turned on the safety, and left. Go up.

The top room is spacious and the interior furnishings are unique and unique, with only one barred window that requires being inside the tower to open.

I looked at the tabletop and it was spotless, which meant that the waiters were cleaning it regularly.

Darkus checked around the house to make sure it was safe, then walked into the bathroom to run water for a bath.

"I should have passed this level, but since I haven't met the family law enforcement champion Keslay and the young master Newkel, the clan mother doesn't have to think about it. The old man must be studying dark magic on the top of the tower."

Darkus, who was lying in the bathtub, let out a sigh of relief.

"Stay for a few days and find an opportunity to run away. This cousin is still the same. He should be twenty-five this year. He originally completed the trial and came back to join the Black Ark raid. As a result, the trial was delayed for half a year. The Black Ark is gone, and he He just came back, and at that time everyone thought he was abandoned, but the clan mother Annasara sacrificed and divined several times before she found out that he was fine."

"What about a father who is kind and a son who is filial, and brothers who are hostile to each other and turn against each other? Yes, after all, the Hell Calamity family has been standing in Druchi society for five thousand years, which has its own advantages. Newkel's uncle was defeated and died, and the family There has never been any internal turmoil again, it can be said that there is harmony and the family is happy, after all, the family law enforcement champion is no joke."

Five thousand years ago, the head of the family at that time was the husband of the clan mother Annasara. He led the troops and died in Tal Anlek in Nagaryth. Then his younger brother took the opportunity to seize power and was captured by Annasara and Morathi. die. Later, the Hellscourge family, like the Corrupted Heart family of Kalonde Kal, was one of the few Naggaroth families whose blood was thicker than water.

"Go to bed!"

The next day, the weather was sunny and the sun was very red, like a glowing tomato.

Darkus was still sleeping on the bed, and a sound came from the crystal ball on the bedside table next to him.

"Good morning, young master, Young Master Newkel has informed you to go to dinner."

Butler Dia's voice came from the crystal ball. When he heard the name Newkel, Darkus suddenly lost all sleep.

"Hold the grass! Newkel! What's going on? Why is this old guy looking for me?"

Darkus jumped up, packed up and went downstairs. Butler Dia held a sword in front of him, directing him to follow him and walk to the study.

Butler Dia led the way and said in a low voice: "Young Master Newkel just now knew that you were back and wanted to see you."

Darkus had a slight cold sweat on his forehead, and his legs began to shake a little. This was not due to adrenaline secretion, but simply shaking. He thought as he walked: "The life span of the elves in the medieval war hammer is only more than a thousand years. I don't have the ability to deal with Druch who has lived for five thousand years. This brother usually avoided him before."

After a while, they arrived at the door of the study. Butler Dia knocked on the door gently, and a voice came from inside: "Come in."

Butler Dia turned around and signaled that Darkus took a deep breath and pushed the door in. After entering, he closed the door, took a small step forward with his right foot, pointed his left face to the ground, raised his hands flat, and bowed his head in salute.

"Good morning! Young Master!"

After Darkus came in, Newkel stopped eating, looked up at him, saw him raising his hands flat, and said: "Don't be nervous, come sit down and have something to eat."

Darkus put down his hands, walked slowly to the dining table, sat down, and looked directly at Nukel in front of him. He only saw Newkel's middle-aged appearance, and he felt the majesty, calmness and subtle aging in Newkel.

Newkel said slowly: "Don't be nervous and eat."

Darkus lowered his head and picked up the tableware and started eating, his hands shaking slightly. Newkel saw all this. He took a few bites and was a little confused. He didn't even know what he was eating.

"I heard that you fraudulently opened a village in Asul?"

"Yes, with luck, Ren of the Takaia family deceived the main forces in the village and town."

"Huh, luck? Not many Druchi would go after their cousins ​​during the Haxiya trial voyage. The dignitaries in the city were very crazy last night. There has been no war for almost five hundred years. It’s been a long time since there have been so many cousins ​​in Krakalund.”

Newkel stopped eating, wiped his mouth gracefully with the napkin around his neck, then leaned on the chair, crossed his arms and looked at Darkus.

Darkus also stopped eating, put his hands on his hands, looked at Newkel, and did not answer. He didn't know how to answer.

"Have you become the chosen one of the 'Oracle Weaver' Mora'ig Heg?"

Darkus was suffocating, and cold sweat began to flow from his head. He began to think quickly: "Damn it! How did he know? The three Takaiya brothers sold me?"

Newkel stared into Darkus's eyes and smiled sinisterly: "Is it hot in the room? You are sweating." After a pause, he continued: "Last night, Kessler went to visit the three of them. Brother and sister, they persisted until the last moment, and they proved their loyalty to you. After that, Keslay gave them something to drink, and they said everything." He continued to pause, and then said: "After all, they are you We can't kill them, can we?"

What could Darkus say? Why can he stand up and yell at Newkel angrily? Don't be ridiculous, he could only nod in agreement.

Newkel continued: "These three brothers and sisters of the Takaia family are very good. I like them. They are better than their ancestors. Maybe the hope for the revival of their family lies in them. Regarding what happened last night, I hope you will not Mind you, I just added an insurance policy for you and taught you a lesson. You must know that you are a descendant of the Hell Calamity family and don’t believe these Druchi.”

Darkus nodded in agreement.

"I have arranged for a dwarf construction team to help them repair their ancestral home. This is my reward for them."

"Thank you, young master."

Newkel continued: "Are you full?"

Darkus shook his head and said, "No." After that, he continued to eat.

Nukel was dodged for a moment, looked at Darkus who was lowering his head and eating something and raised his eyebrows and continued: "Don't worry, I won't ask you why you became Morayig Heg's divine choice, as long as you It’s enough that he is a descendant of the Hell Calamity family.”

Darkus continued to eat with his head down, and he almost finished everything on the table.

"By the way, what happened to that lizard?"

Darkus knew he couldn't hide, so he put down the tableware, swallowed what was in his mouth, looked into Newkel's eyes, and said thoughtfully: "I have a magical ability to talk directly to that skink, and There’s no language barrier.”

Newkel nodded and said: "This is unplanned, and it is also your own business. Of course, you can make some requests to the family, and the family will try its best to satisfy you. In addition, who knows about this?"

Newkel's words were beyond Darkus' expectations.

"The two Takaia brothers, the beast tamer Kallion, and the captain Dastan Cold Eyes, I'm not sure if Franais knows about it."

"It's okay. I'll let Keslay handle it. As long as they don't talk about it, it will be fine. And you need to practice your martial arts skills. You can't beat a monkey, even though you are only an adult."

The title of monkey belongs to the arrogance of the older generation of Druchi. When they were all-powerful, those humans were still in the primitive stage and were indeed no different from monkeys. This arrogance continues, but the powerful still have to learn the language of these monkeys. After all, we can't expect these slaves to learn the Elvish language, right? It can also be used when going out to sea for raids, but it is very fragmented anyway.

"yes."

"What do you have in mind next?"

“I’d like to spend some time on a tree farm on the edge of the Black Ridge Mountains.”

Newkel looked at Darkus for a while and said with a smile: "You are a bit unexpected. I thought you would go to work at Ebony Claw like your brother, or go out on adventures. I can't wait to go." Lustria or something. Okay, there’s nothing to do now anyway, so if you want to go, go ahead.”

"By the way, there's another thing. Last night, the patriarch of the Thorns family asked me to let his youngest son, who just returned from the trial, be your retinue."

As he spoke, Newkel paused, and then said sinisterly: "You have to promise me to ensure his safety! This is very important! These powerful people in the city have been disobedient again recently."

Darkus thought: "What the hell, is he my subordinate or am I his? Why is it the other way around? What is this? A political hostage?"

"Is there going to be someone to assassinate him? Like a Kane assassin or something?"

"It should be possible, or it should not be. He came back empty-handed from this trial, and his legs were a bit sloping, but his father still loves him very much. The other five brothers and one sister are very dissatisfied with this."

Seeing that he could not refuse, Darkus said repeatedly: "I understand, I promise! There is no place for weaklings and cowards in Nagaros, but the slope does not prevent him from becoming an excellent cold lizard fear knight."

"Okay, this is a test for you. The Soul Claw is back. Are you going to go to the market today?"

"Yes, go shopping and see if you can find any treasures."

Nukel's expression relaxed and he chuckled and said: "I'm sorry, I talked a bit too much today. I haven't talked to the younger members of the family for a long time. In this case, I won't keep you. If you don't have enough Sovereign to ask for Dia, I wish you the best." success!"

Darkus stood up, pulled out his chair and bowed his head to Newkel and saluted, then slowly backed away, opened the door with his backhand and backed out, bowing his head again and saluting before going out.

Inside the house, Newkel regained his majestic expression, stood up, and leaned against the window to think.

After a while, he saw Darkos walking quickly across the garden, smiled and shook his head, turning to look at the map hanging in the study, looking at Nagaryth in the northwest of Ulthuan.
