"No, it's not that serious. I just don't worry about your safety." The male dark elf Carolla jumped off the lizard mount with a smile. He is now standing in a huge and towering building with La Nina and the others. Outside the thing, the guards here are ten times tighter than outside. Not only are there defensive magic arrays everywhere, but there are also a large number of elite dark elf warriors and magicians stationed there, because this is the most important area of the Hrudian family, and there are enshrinements inside. The prayer room of the goddess Lolth,
In the city of the dark elves, if a family decides to challenge another family, it only needs to perform an obvious act of blasphemy against the challenged one, such as sending a family member to insert a blood-stained weapon into the opponent's possession and pray. Within the building of the room, the two sides will immediately break out into an endless battle, that is, a bloody battle between families. This bloody battle is limited to the two participating families and their allies and vassals. If there are still people in the city The other families will all stand by and watch within the stipulated time.
Once the family prayer room on the defensive side in this kind of family bloody battle is captured, the family emblem and the worshiped gods are completely destroyed, the entire war will be over, so that the attacking family and their nightmare will be affected by their own Taking risks and getting rich rewards, they can take all the benefits of the losing party without worrying about being hindered by any explicit or covert obstacles.
However, high rewards must coexist with high risks. If the attacking party cannot capture the guarding party's prayer room within a certain period of time, such as a month's attack period, then their attack will be judged as a failure. After all, the entire Dark Elf It is impossible for the city to suffer greater losses due to the conflict of interests between the two families. In order to stop the ambitious behavior of overestimating their capabilities, other families in the entire city will unite to declare war on the attacker, and then these families will make contributions based on their own efforts. The situation and balance of forces and many other factors are used to divide everything that belongs to the attacking side.
Of course, Carolla would not do such a serious thing. He would just stand there and talk, and would never continue to move forward. While La Nina and Carolla were talking, Senitea and Ryan The couple got out of the car, and then Carolla turned the topic to Senitea: "Hey, Senitea, aren't you going to Master Solumba's magic tower outside the city? I heard that you Tomorrow I will officially become a disciple of that master and learn the art of enchantment from him. Why did he suddenly come back? Is it because of the city alarm?"
"Of course not." As soon as he heard this, Senitya was very excited. He glanced at Ryan and was about to speak, but suddenly remembered that Ryan had not really agreed to his request to become a disciple, and he didn't seem to be very happy when he saw Ryan. She likes to be public and is also worried that if she tells these things, Ryan will be unhappy, so Senitya followed Carolla's topic and said: "Yes, I had already left the city, but then the alarm sounded It’s better for us to come back first and wait until this period of martial law is over.”
Carolla's purpose is not at all this boring matter. He wants to use the chat with Senitea to bring the topic to Ryan and Farasi. As members of the Posendenog family, which ranks sixth in the entire city, and He is a captain of the City Guard. Regardless of public or private life, Carola must find out Ryan's identity. Taking this roundabout way is just to avoid breaking up with La Nina. After all, La Nina is such a person. As the most recognized beauty in the city, Carolla would naturally have thoughts in that regard.
Seeing that Senitea's answer was spotless, Carolla was slightly disappointed, but in the end the family interests overcame his personal concerns. Carolla faced Ryan and said: "What do you call this gentleman? I I don’t think I’ve seen you before.”
"Carola, don't harass our guests." La Nina immediately stopped her: "Now we have returned to the family headquarters. If safety cannot be guaranteed here, one more person like you will not help. Can you please leave immediately? .”
"Oh, La Nina, please don't be like this." Carolla pretended to be sad, trying to lighten the atmosphere, and he said: "You also know that I am a member of the City Guard. It is our duty, and this is also There is nothing I can do about it, and besides, I don’t mean any disrespect to this gentleman, I just want to ask a few questions, and even if the matron of your family is here, she will definitely support it, right?”
"Humph." La Nina knew very well that Carolla's words were irrefutable. The city guards were elites from major families. They were responsible for guarding the city, which naturally included tracking down those who had sneaked into the city. In terms of strangers, etc., in addition to this, La Nina also wanted to use Carolla's mouth to learn something from Ryan. After all, she brought two legendary strongmen back to the family headquarters for no reason, even if it was Senet It’s also difficult to explain Ya’s meaning to other direct members of the family.
"It seems that I can't refuse." Ryan asked softly at first. After seeing La Nina shaking her head at him with an apologetic face, Ryan laughed. How could he not guess that La Nina still had someone else? That Carolla's thoughts, but Ryan will not have any thoughts about this kind of thoughts. If the dark elves here are completely unwary, Ryan will find it strange. Moreover, one of the purposes of Ryan's coming here is to send his own The disguised name spread. It was such a good excuse now. How could he not take advantage of it
So Ryan said: "Okay, I'll save you from asking over and over again. I'll tell you all at once. I am Irisela, she is my wife, her name is Vanessa, and we are not currently involved." We don’t belong to any family. The reason why we appear here is because we were wandering around. We just met La Nina and Senetia outside the city and were invited by them to come in. As for me, I know a few things. What, this should be kept secret."
Seeing that Ryan said it so simply, Carolla laughed a few times, said a few words casually, and left. Although he didn't really believe that what Ryan said was the truth, continuing to ask questions would be tantamount to direct questioning. This is a slap in the face of the Hrudian family, because Ryan has clearly stated the fact that he was invited by Hrudian. It seems that the seventh-ranked family will have a new member soon. As for what he is proficient in, he will eventually find out in the future. There is no need to offend the Hrudian family on the spot for such a trivial matter.
After hearing what Ryan said, La Nina was naturally dubious, but she did not show such an expression. Instead, she enthusiastically asked Senitya to entertain the Ryan couple, but she took a few maids and left. Seeing his sister leaving, Senitya said to Ryan: "My sister must go and tell her mother what happened today. In addition, she must discuss and arrange the family's defense to prevent other families from taking advantage of the chaos."
After explaining, Senitea invited the Lane couple to visit his magic laboratory. Lane directly rejected the proposal, but he also knew very well that he was new here, so naturally he would not be able to wander around the core of other families right away. , so he asked for a room, saying that the long journey was very hard and he hoped to take a rest.
Senitya was slightly disappointed, but since Ryan was willing to follow him to the family headquarters, he could always impress Ryan as long as he took his time and put some thought into it, so he diligently accompanied Ryan and Faras to the guest room used to entertain family VIPs. After arranging everything in detail, he left. While he was doing these things, the two legendary magician bodyguards followed Senitya closely. It was obvious that La Nina did not completely trust Ryan. On the contrary, Senitya looked nonchalant, as if he was sure that Ryan would not hurt him.
After casually sending the maid out of the VIP room, Ryan casually arranged a magic defense barrier to isolate the inside and outside. At this time, Faras spoke in human common language: "What, you plan to accept students again? Now." Ryan shook his head. He was not interested in teaching his best skills to the dark elves. It would not be of any benefit to humans.
As for dealing with such a dark elf boy, Ryan naturally has many ways, so he is too lazy to worry about it. On the contrary, there is an urgent matter at the moment that must be solved as soon as possible. Ryan said to Farasi: "You can't use the dark elf language for daily simple tasks yet." This is a big flaw for us, so let’s seize this opportunity. At least you have to understand something, even if you don’t answer and just make a few actions to respond, it’s good.”
"In the language of the dark elves, 'Spider Goddess' and 'Rose' are the most noble words. You must show your respect when saying them, while words like 'Light' and 'Light' are the most serious curses and abuses. , this is completely different from us humans, you must pay attention..." Ryan slowly explained to Farasi many commonly used words in Dark Elf language, and taught Farasi from time to time to pronounce and correct her mistakes. The latter has always been very smart. , it’s just that I have rarely been exposed to this aspect before, so I don’t know anything about the language of the dark elves.
The two of them taught and studied, and four or five hours passed unknowingly. It should be the beginning of a new day. During this time, Faras has mastered hundreds of new vocabulary words, just daily I can barely understand a little bit of the conversation. Although the other party has to speak a little slower, it's still better than the previous situation where I didn't understand anything.
Ryan asked Faras to practice the pronunciation of the dark elf language on her own, while he summoned the soul of the dark elf commander sealed in the mithril parrot, and began to ask and learn from her about the etiquette of the dark elf and many things about the family, city, etc. However, before asking a few questions, La Nina's voice came from outside the room: "Mr. Irisela and Ms. Vanessa, are you two resting well? We, Hrudian Matron Maris of the family invites you two to have breakfast together.”
