When the silence finally ended, after slowly accepting the fact before her, instead of the shock in the heart of Matron Maris, what followed was endless ecstasy. The matron of the Hrudian family Although she tried her best to suppress her expression, she still couldn't keep her emotions and anger hidden. The trembling in her voice betrayed her mood: "Mother De~Rui~Xin~Ti~, you are the one who chooses Give up 10% of the profits and still rely on our family."
Facing the aggressive posture of the Hrudian family, Mother Drexinti's expression changed several times in succession. She knew very well that once she gave in in public, Hrudian would take advantage of the situation, and those who were swaying in the city would The family is likely to make a new choice in a very short period of time, and then surround Maris and others to become their enemies, just like she gathered a dozen families to join forces to attack Khrudian not long ago.
Mother Drexinti was determined to attack in public. After all, this is the hinterland of their Vigoros family. It can be said that most of the entire family's combat power is concentrated here today, but only a dozen or so from Maris's side came today. Members, the gap in military strength between the two sides was too huge. However, after Mother Drexinti saw the low morale of the strong men around her, she finally chose to give in.
First of all, Mother Drexinti didn't believe that Mother Maris would be so trusting. Maybe her opponent had secretly made a complete arrangement, but she knew nothing about it. Furthermore, Mother Drexinti didn't know how to do it at all. She knew how to face Senetya, the "Arch Mage of Fate". She believed that as long as she said a word, those loyal tribesmen would fight to the death for the interests of the family without hesitation, but they had no hope of winning at all. It would be really stupid to die under such circumstances.
In just a few seconds, Mother Drexinti finally weighed the pros and cons and decided to endure this shame for the time being and conserve her strength for a comeback. So she said: "Since we have lost this life and death battle, naturally We will give up 10% of the family's interests as agreed, Maris, please send someone to settle the matter with us tomorrow."
Maris heard with her own ears that the first family, the lord of Isopaton City, Mother Drexinti, said these words of submission in public. She clenched her fists and closed her eyes. For thousands of years, Hrudi The An family has been working hard in this city step by step, and the dream of many generations of the family has finally been realized today. Although the Hrudian family is currently not as good as Vigros in terms of overall strength, it is still far from the moment when it reaches its peak. It was a long distance, but she, Maris, finally saw hope.
Fortunately, the palace of Mistress Maris was pretty good. She was excited for a moment, but she did not forget what she should do. Maris took a few deep breaths in succession, barely stabilized her mood, and then spoke loudly in public Said: "Everyone, in one month, the Hrudian family will hold a grand sacrificial ceremony. The minor men and women in the family and allies will use this to hold an adult ceremony, and we will also capture huge magical beasts to sacrifice. Sacrifice it to the goddess Rose, hoping that the gods can grant us the dark blessing of the Hrudian family, so that the family's bloodline can last forever."
What Matron Maris said is basically something that the dark elf family will inevitably hold after they gain huge benefits and improve their family status. The coming-of-age ceremony can show the future combat power of the family, and the sacrifice is even more important. It is an indispensable content to be recognized by the Spider Goddess. Otherwise, they would not be able to rise from seventh place to first just by Maris opening her mouth and moving a few times.
Of course, such rituals will not be lacking in Aesopaton City for a long time in the future. After all, many of the second and third-ranked families have been destroyed, and the families ranked below can still move up in order. Improved by several people, and this relatively chaotic situation will also make it difficult for some families who were already about the same strength to distinguish who is more powerful. If they don't plan to decide this through a bloody family battle, then most of them will look at who is stronger. More able to win the favor of goddess Rose,
"Mother Drexinti, I believe you also know this practice. Since our family is going to hold a sacrificial ceremony, we must go everywhere to purchase necessities, so I hope you can let us use the teleportation magic circle. In addition, we will also send a few A team is going out of the city to hunt for sacrifices, so I hope to get your cooperation." Although Mother Maris said it politely, her semantics directly treated Mother Drexinti as a subordinate. Her words were not discussions or requests at all, but direct instructions and orders.
At any other time, I'm afraid that Mother Drexinti would have exploded on the spot, but since she had already chosen the means of tolerance before, she would naturally not conflict with Maris over such a small face issue. Therefore, she nodded and agreed to Maris's content without hesitation. Maris saw that her dual goals had been achieved, so she whispered a few words to Ryan, and then Ryan and Farasi teamed up to launch a short-distance teleportation magic. , completely melting Maris and others into the sky in a dazzling white light,
After the teleportation white light disappeared, there was an elusive look in the eyes of Mother Drexinti. It seemed that she had thought of something, and then she returned to the family prayer room with an expressionless face. The entire Vigros family In the next few days, they began to reduce their combat power across the board, placing more than 90% of their strength in the headquarters, and directly closed the headquarters door, as if they were afraid that the Hrudian family would launch a surprise attack on them.

"Mr. Irisela, I will send the best members of the family to collect the information for you through the teleportation magic circle." Mother Maris sat on the chair in the living room and whispered to Ryan opposite He said softly: "But in order to collect these things more accurately, please ask Mr. Irisela to provide us with more details."
Ryan nodded. After struggling for a long time in Aesopaton City, he finally achieved one of the most important goals. Mother Maris's words were indeed very reasonable, but Ryan couldn't say anything in detail. He couldn't tell her directly. Maris said, "Some of my companions are strong men from other planes. We plan to help the Thor demons deal with you dark elves in the Thousand Years of War."
For this matter, Ryan had privately discussed with Faras several times and reached a certain consensus. Since both Ryan and Victor's identities must have been disguised, it is difficult to find them based on their appearance and strength. Yes, there is no way to ask everywhere with great fanfare. I can only try to pass on a few important information. For example, Ryan and the others appeared in the name of "Arethra". This guy once invaded the human world, and was used by Ryan as his His name went to the underwater world, and then he used the name of the "Master of Destiny" that Ryan and others met in the underwater world. I believe that as long as Victor and the others hear such news, they will definitely be aware of it.
So Ryan gave Mistress Maris a detailed instruction, asking her to investigate as much as possible about the various rumors that had occurred on the border between the dark elves and the Rakshasa demons in the recent period, and then asked her to take advantage of the purchasing opportunity to go to various cities to inquire. All kinds of anecdotes, and then help themselves to purchase some magic materials, and these materials include obsidian and other objects, which were used by Ryan and Freya when they repaired the "Scorching Angel Staff" for Red.
In order to ensure that this news can spread quickly, Ryan asked Maris to publish the purchase list everywhere, and asked that only when the sellers gather all the materials in accordance with the types and quantities on the list at once, will he use ten times the amount of materials on the list. After buying it at the price, this list is basically the list of materials used when Ryan and Fulia repaired the artifact. It is not unusual if someone only collects one or two of them, but if the type and weight of the materials are not related to repairing the artifact. The timing is exactly right. Ryan believes that as long as the Elf Queen hears the news, she will definitely guess her intentions.

Time passed very quickly, more than ten days passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, La Nina personally led a hunting team of more than 200 people to capture two people alive from about 1,300 kilometers north of the city. There is only a legendary level soul prisoner demon. This is a rare sacrifice, because usually even the first family Vigoros only sacrifices a legendary level creature.
However, in order to show the strength of the Hrudian family, La Nina brought more people to capture the Fumi ant tribe in the south of the city, but this time the loss was a bit big, because La Nina and the others unexpectedly encountered A Fermi ant queen with a body over thirty meters long and five or six meters high. Although this creature with a lifespan of at least more than ten thousand years is only at the legendary level, it has the ability to directly produce legendary-level Fermi war ants. ability,
Of course, not every worker ant produced by this Fermi ant queen has a legendary level. Although this ratio is very low, her crazy egg laying and hatching every day, plus many years of accumulation, still makes the queen ant The depths of the ground with a radius of more than 100 kilometers in the center have turned into a palace comparable to a dwarf dungeon. There are more than 2,000 legendary level Fumi war ants hidden in it.
Although these Fermi ants are not yet civilized, the Fermi queen, who has survived for more than ten thousand years, is full of wisdom. She adopted a strategy of luring the enemy deep into the territory, making La Nina and the others think that these ant nests were not dangerous. , but when these dark elves went deep underground, they were surrounded by more than 2,000 legendary-level Formi war ants. Just the first attack caught the La Nina hunting team by surprise and reduced its number by 40%.
Fortunately, Ryan prepared a magic scroll for La Nina that could locate the coordinates of her space. When the latter tore open her and asked for help from Ryan, who was more than 2,000 kilometers away, it only took Ryan a few minutes to lock onto Lani. After looking at Na's position, Ryan, who was then teleported over, was also startled by the huge number of Formi war ants in front of him. They were more than two thousand legendary-level creatures that were good at fighting in groups. When they were densely packed in the surrounding narrow caves, Just looking at the wriggling lips of these Formia war ants is enough to make one's hair stand on end.
