"What's going on?" Regnar asked warily, but he was not worried about himself.
In such a dark environment, even if he was trapped in a tight siege, Regnar was confident of escaping safely. He has been performing infiltration and assassination missions for several years, and during these years, the only time Regnar was captured was when he assassinated the red flame magician Saron.
But that assassination was not because Regner was unable to escape, but because he didn't want to escape. So Regnar was not worried about his own safety. But he couldn't worry about Irene. This girl had the strength of a quasi-high-level priest, but she didn't know how to fight at all. So let alone these cunning dark elves, Regnar estimated that even an unarmed farmer could gain the upper hand in the battle with Irene.
"That's it." Link gritted his teeth and explained in a low voice in common language: "Our Elvin family and the Andariel family have always had a bad relationship, and the two families have forged a blood feud during these years of fighting. And I don’t know where the Andariel family heard the news today. They seem to have set up ambushes along the paths we may pass through in the Dark Territory, waiting for us at any time.”
"Wouldn't it be better to ask someone from your family to come and pick us up?" Regnar said, "Since Irene is your mistress's daughter, she should be treated like this, right?"
"No!" Link shook his head: "A small number of people from the family were sent to receive a group of kobold slaves, while a large number of other people participated in a battle to snatch the mithril veins. At present, the family simply does not have enough people. Support us."
"How long should we wait here?" Regnar asked next. He was worried about Irene's safety, so he was unwilling to take any risks.
"If we follow the human concept of time, it will take about a month." Link added: "The value of that mithril vein is very high, and many families have participated in robbing it this time. So if you want It will take more than a month for the family members to return."
"..." Regnar took a deep look at Link, then frowned. He and Eileen might be able to stay here for a month, but Inelis might not be able to survive that long.
Before leaving Merindel, Regnar had done some research on the dagger of the female assassin who stabbed Inelise. According to the poison-making knowledge he and Garona had, both of them believed that the poison on the dagger was very dangerous. Even if the poison was suppressed by Link's medicine, Regnar could not guarantee that the poison would be How long can it last? Therefore, Regnar must find an antidote for Inelise as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late when the poison breaks out.
And more than a month is obviously too long!
Regnar looked at Link and then asked, "How many troops do they have?"
"I don't know." Link shook his head: "But they should think that only Irene and I are together, so even if they send people, it should only be one or two elites. To deal with elite individuals, a huge number is meaningless."
"That family..." Regnar stared at Link and said, "Did the assassin sent by that family poison Ini?"
"That woman was masked at the time, so I'm not sure which family she is an assassin from. But the Andariel family is highly suspected," Link answered.
Regnar thought for a moment, then nodded: "That's good, let's go together!"
"Aren't you worried about Miss Irene?" Link was stunned.
"I will take good care of her, you don't need to worry about it." Regnar said expressionlessly. He winked at Irene, and Irene nodded obediently.
"Don't worry, I will protect you." Regnar smiled at Irene.
"With you here, I'm not afraid." Although Irene was a little nervous, there was really no fear on her face.
Regnar said no more and motioned for Link to lead the way. Then the three of them stepped into the vortex of plane nodes together.
"Due to the rules of the original plane, the number of people that can be transported by the node every day is limited. This is why we cannot appear in large numbers in the original plane." Link explained while rubbing his temples.
Plane jumping will cause the creature to be dizzy. This time would have been the best time for the Andariel family to make a sneak attack. But this is a plane node built by the seven major families in Dark Light City. If anyone dares to make trouble here, it means that he has violated the common interests of the seven major families in Dark Light City at the same time, becoming the seven families. common enemy.
On the way here, Regnar had already heard Link introduce the destination of his trip—Dark Light City. Darklight City is a large-scale city built by the dark elves in the Dark Territory. Many dark elven families of a certain size live here.
Dark Light City has no official power that rules the city, and in the eyes of all sensible dark elves, they all know that the control of this city is basically divided into seven parts, given by the seven most powerful families in Dark Light City. Divided. The remaining small families can only rely on the seven major families to share some scraps, but even the benefits of scraps are far better than the small family being the king of a remote city.
Therefore, many dark elves are eager for such a city. This also ensures that Darklight City will always have enough fresh blood to join here. The new dark elves always look at the seven major families building fortresses in the city with greedy eyes, imagining that one day they can become the master of one of these fortresses. Among them, the Elvin family and the Andariel family are both members of these seven families.
This is the basic situation of Dark Light City.
Regnar looked at Link and Irene who kept rubbing his head, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Link had reminded himself before that there would be a few minutes of dizziness and discomfort after the plane jump, but Regna didn't feel the slightest bit about it.
"Could it be that the Shadow Realm shuttle made me adapt to space jumping?" Regnar could only explain to himself this way. He didn't know that there was no problem with adapting to space jumping.
Regnar first observed the surroundings vigilantly. After confirming that the surroundings were only dark elves stationed at the plane nodes, he relaxed his vigilance and took a closer look at the dark area.
Overall, the Underdark looks like a huge, endless cave. There is no sky in the world here, and the earth is naturally composed of land and stone, but the plants that are common in the original plane are hard to see here. They are replaced by some mosses, lichens and other shade plants, and as for other strange things... Regnar couldn't even tell whether it was a stone or a plant...
The Underdark is not as dim as the previous caves. Glowstones and luminous crystals, which are usually regarded as works of art in the original plane, can be seen almost everywhere in the Underdark. Even the moss and lichen emit phosphorescence due to the composition of the soil. .
However, these lights are still not enough to completely illuminate such a dark and empty plane. Strictly speaking, the light intensity here can only be similar to that of a cloudy night. If normal humans walk here, they will definitely have to open their eyes. Blind.
"Drink this!" Regnar took out a bottle of magic potion from his space pocket. Arriving here, Regnar couldn't help but admire Annelotte's carefulness, even though she had never been to the Underdark. However, she used the knowledge in books to prepare a lot of necessities for Regnar and the two of them in a very targeted manner.
Regnar's bottle of potion has the effect of greatly improving the user's night vision ability. Because Annelotte has enhanced the potion's effect, this bottle of potion can last for about a week.
After taking the potion, Irene gradually adapted to the dark environment. This girl seemed to be very curious about the wonderful scenery here. That's right, this should be considered her hometown after all. Now that she is back here, it is expected that she will be excited.
Regnar and Link both waited patiently for Irene to feast their eyes on it. After a few minutes, Irene realized that she had delayed the entire team's schedule. She smiled sheepishly, and then hurried to Regna's side.
"..." Link couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he looked at Irene's appearance. To be honest, as a dark elf, he had seen many beautiful women, and there were many who could rival Irene.
But Link didn't know why, but this half-elf named Erin gave him a completely different feeling. She doesn't have the gender arrogance of other female dark elves at all. Because dark elves are a matriarchal society, female dark elves always have unconcealable arrogance in front of men.
But this half-elf is different. She has no such arrogance at all, nor any flattery or deliberate showoff. She was simply being her truest self, just like a child, writing all her emotions on her face. And Link unexpectedly saw the friendliness in the way she looked at him. This makes the dark elf, who always puts profit first, very puzzled - she doesn't even understand herself, right? How could a dark elf smile at someone who didn't know his worth
Suddenly, Link felt as if his heart was beating. The beating was completely different from before. It felt like it was the first time Link felt its beating.
Regnar patted Irene's head lovingly, then turned to Link and said, "Let's continue on our way, maybe those bastards can't wait any longer."
"Huh? Okay..." Link was stunned for a moment before answering.
…
"Dear Ms. Angelista, are you sure we don't need to hide?" asked a dark elf man of unknown age. He was holding an enchanted long sword in his hand and wearing light steel armor. Also glowing slightly. From a human perspective, it is quite luxurious for a high-level warrior to have such equipment. But as a dark elf, his equipment is really poor. There is no way, who makes the master he is with not a rich man
"Stupid! Seedek! Don't compare me with you lowly men!" Angelista, the owner of the dark elf warrior, is a very charming and charming female dark elf, but everyone must admit that she has Captivating capital.
Angelista knocked the ground with her staff, and then said proudly: "Don't forget who your master is! Maybe I am not as favored by the goddess Rose as those bitch priests, but I hope you can understand The power of magic is irreplaceable!”
"I will keep this in mind, Ms. Angelista." The male dark elf nodded quickly.
"Very good, Sedes." Angelista flew into the air lightly and raised her delicate little feet: "Since you are so obedient, I might as well reward you with a kiss on my boots."
