Something's wrong with my undead

Chapter 577: Dominated Elerith
Seeing this line, Eleris fell into deep thought.

He is a silver elf with a clean origin and a good family background, and has served the Mercury Royal Family for more than seven hundred years.

This can be seen from his hair.

Although it was a little sparse, he tried his best to use maintenance techniques to make it look dense.

He has entered middle age and strictly follows the rule that most male silver elves become bald in middle age.

No one could have imagined that such a standard silver elf serving the royal family was actually a "hidden vein" affiliated with the House of the Wilderness, loyal to the Council of Elders.

As for why a silver elf with the first month flag in Mercury City would be like this... that is a long history.

The story goes back to the origin of the silver elves.

The first generation of silver elves refers to those wood elves who first went to the Luku Plains.

Because of their change of faith and exposure to a new supernatural energy, they lost their tree-root-like hair and wrinkled skin under the influence of the holy light, becoming more like humans as they are today.

Now we all know that it is the effect of supernatural energy that changes people's characteristics, and this is also the root cause of different races.

But at that time, the wood elves believed that this was a punishment for abandoning nature, and so they completely drew a line between themselves and their former compatriots, almost to the point of being irreconcilable.

It was precisely because the Wood Elves acted so ruthlessly that, although they were later expelled by the Luku people's witch hunt, most of the elves who called themselves "Silver People" did not choose to return to the Mourning Valley, but instead went to the Mercury Forest.

After leaving their homeland twice, they saw the true faces of their compatriots and other ethnic groups, and realized that they are now also "foreigners".

So they hate everything equally, and naturally they can get along with both sides equally.

Most of the second generation of silver elves grew up at this time.

It can be said that the Luku people’s vigorous witch-hunting activities accompanied almost their entire childhood and youth.

Therefore, even though their compatriots were not considered good people in the eyes of their parents, these people still emotionally yearn for their original homeland, which is the Diaomu Valley.

They believed that there could be no one worse than the followers of the Holy Light who were willing to burn them to death at any time.

Little did they know that the wood elves might not want to burn them to death.

Next, the first generation of silver elves used the power of holy light to fight against withering, which eventually led to an energy imbalance and an overflow of holy light, and the forest was renamed as a result.

At that time, Veritas was not strong enough to establish order in the Pan-Continent, so the Luku people came to eliminate the flood of holy light.

Of course, this is not humanitarian aid.

Rather, it was a transaction led by the first generation of silver elves.

From a rational point of view, there is nothing wrong with leaving professional work to professionals.

But the second generation of silver producers at that time did not understand why their fathers would rather give the money to the hateful Luku people than seek help from their former compatriots.

Although they were angry, they could do nothing.

The characteristic of the immortal species is that it can endure very long.

This is manifested politically in the fact that there are still five first-generation Silver Elves in the Silver Elf Royal Court today, and each of them holds a high position.

The oldest Elf King among them had a lifespan that could not even be counted.

Because all the people older than him and his contemporaries were dead, even if he said he was four thousand years old, he would not be able to disprove it.

The third generation of silver was born in this atmosphere.

Influenced by their fathers' words and deeds, they hated the title of "Silver People" very much. They regarded the transaction that solved the problem of the overflow of Holy Light as the Luku people taking advantage of the situation, and regarded the various diplomatic activities of the royal family today as flattery and currying favor.

In this case, the Council of Elders only needs to make some small efforts to win over a group of loyal young people to serve them.

Elerith Silverstorm was one of them.

And because of his work, he witnessed the dark sides of the Silver Elf Royal Court in his long and empty life.

Every testimony added to his anger.

And every bit of this anger will be transformed into loyalty to the Council of Elders.

After all, due to his identity, he could never go back there, so Daomu City became a perfect fantasy in his mind.

Now, he had orders from Wilderness House.

This is a communication skill that only "Hidden Veins" have mastered, and since the other party dares to write in, it means that he knows your identity, or at least knows that there are their own people here.

So, first of all, we rule out the possibility that this is fishing.

Next, he needs to think about the consequences of doing so and what to do.

This is not a simple "mail delivery mission".

In a way, it meant that he should die.

After all, Her Highness Renee's current situation is... quite complicated.

Not long ago, His Highness returned with the support of most of the Whispering Forest night elves, and a method that was said to be able to cure the Blight.

Because the matter was of great importance and the news was too explosive, the parliament had blocked the news for a while and had been verifying the methods she mentioned and discussing how to reward her.

They had heard rumors before that the Mourning Valley rewarded a flower hero who solved the Withering Scar, but for some reason it was never made public.

The situation here was quite tense at that time.

But now it’s different. It’s the turn of those wooden-headed people to get nervous.

So the royal family is preparing for a big one.

However, the big news had not yet come out, because just four days ago, the Elf King suddenly bypassed the parliament and issued a handwritten edict, which clearly mentioned exaggerated accusations such as "treason" and "technological leakage".

This was outrageous enough, but what was even more outrageous was that Renee did not object to the accusation, but admitted it openly!
She said this was not a technical leak but a collaboration, and produced materials prepared in advance to prove that this collaboration could indeed bring considerable benefits to the royal family.

Logically speaking, even if this does not absolve the defendant of guilt, it at least puts the issue on the table and is worth discussing.

But for some reason, most of the parliament members turned against them overnight, accusing Renee's actions of damaging the national interests of the Silver Elves because most of the profits were distributed to the dwarves and the Ness.

Even a layman like Elerith found this statement outrageous.

After all, they are only responsible for connecting the deck, so how much money can they get...

But no matter how he thought about it, it was of no use. The Parliament and the Elf King reached an agreement. Her Highness Renee's merits and demerits were offset, and she was temporarily placed under house arrest and guarded by four shining sentinel trees.

It is a natural creation with a seventh-level whether sitting or standing up. The only difference is that when sitting down it is a magic system, and when standing up it is a physical system.

This is also the reason why Eleris is so hesitant.

As long as he delivers the letter, it will definitely be remembered by the Guangyao Sentinel.

No matter what, he can't get away from it.

This also means that all his long-term lurking in the past will be in vain.

So, is it time?
“It’s really a difficult problem…”

he murmured.

He felt that the future of the elves was in his own hands.

One of his choices could determine the course of history.

After hesitating for three minutes and seeing a silver hair slip from his eyes, Eleris didn't want to waste any more time.

He chose to trust his first impulse.

Trust the Wilderness Home!

Elerith walked out of the room and inspected the palace as usual.

He greeted each servant normally and completed his routine work carefully and gracefully.

When dusk fell, he took a short break and locked himself in the cloakroom, where he changed into the clothes he had prepared for a long time.

Earrings, necklaces, rings, capes, breastplates, belts, outer garments...

He armed himself almost to the teeth!

If it weren't for the interference between the magic equipment, he would have wanted to wear ten rings!

Everything was ready, he activated the powerful invisibility of his cloak and sneaked out of the cloakroom.

This high-level invisibility cloak cost him 20,000 gold coins and was the most expensive of all his equipment.

Although he divided 18,000 gold coins into several parts and wrote them down in the bill for reimbursement, the two thousand gold coins still made him feel bad for a long time.

After all, elves have a long lifespan, so their wages are very low, and prices are correspondingly low as well.

But the things were bought in Veritas, and the other party doesn’t care whether you are an elf or a dwarf.

Wearing a cloak and bypassing the few guards, Elerith made his way to the courtyard where Renee was imprisoned.

His breathing became heavy.

He had already seen the golden barrier woven by the branches of the Shining Sentinel Tree.

It was like an extremely gorgeous birdcage, trapping the sleeping prince underneath.

From a distance, she looked like a haggard Sleeping Beauty.

Eleris carefully avoided the perception range of the four trees, walked around the courtyard, and finally found the nearest "blind spot".

This seemed to be the limit of how close he could get. If he went any further he would be discovered.

The next step was to rush forward as quickly as possible to deliver the letter, and then escape from the siege of the four sentinel trees.

Eleris hunched his body slightly and returned his gaze from the "birdcage" to the ground.

Just as he was about to sprint, he suddenly saw a line of words!

There is a line of words on the ground! ?
"Now open the letter and take a look."

what? ? ?
Elerius rubbed his eyes. He felt that he must be hallucinating because of too much pressure. Otherwise, how could he...

But the same words remained in front of me, without any change.

He swallowed and looked around nervously, as if looking for a pair of eyes watching him. However, he found nothing.

Are the people in Wilderness House so powerful?
He slowly stepped back and opened the letter in the corner of the courtyard.

first row:
"You should be in the southwest corner of the courtyard now."

no……

What the hell...

Ellerith looked around again.

He felt a chill creeping up his back.

This is too scary...

He continued to read:

"In this position, if you lose your invisibility and keep your disguise, the Glorious Sentinel will just stare at you, unable to recognize you and won't attack you."

This is impossible, right?
Ellerith thought instinctively.

But the next line:
"You don't believe it? It doesn't matter. Go outside the courtyard and summon a Golden Flame Sentinel to share your senses with it and try it out."

This is the end of the letter.

It seems like a prank, but the content is so addictive.

Elerith's initial serious and resolute mood had disappeared, and instead he felt an awkward feeling of being dominated by someone.

After thinking for a moment, although he was 100% skeptical, he still did it.

Just because he could write the letter using the hidden vein method, he could not ignore the letter.

He was also prepared to be discovered and then flee in embarrassment.

He retreated to the outside of the courtyard and summoned a beautiful pale golden owl.

Even though he hated the Holy Light, he had to admit that the "Silver People" had combined the elves' natural magic and the Holy Light system very well.

Unlike the sentinels formed by the condensation of wind elements, the golden flame sentinels can explode directly at their destination and possess destructive power that the former do not possess.

He delivered the owl to the location as instructed in the letter, and it really attracted the attention of the four trees.

But they didn't summon any vines or issue any warnings, they just stared.

Just like a person with severe myopia sees a clothes rack a few meters away as a man in a windbreaker, this owl may be nothing more than a ball of high-density holy light in their eyes.

"It's actually true..."

Elerith was surprised.

There is actually someone who knows so much about the Guangyao Sentinel Tree...

But what’s next?

He couldn't help wondering.

The verification has been completed, but the credibility has also come to an end.

What should he do next?
Did he really walk in and hide in the corner?
This is too strange...

Soon, he saw a green, translucent bird fluttering into the courtyard.

It was obviously some kind of spirit beast, but the strange thing was that even after it landed on the branch of the Radiant Sentinel Tree, it did not cause any resistance from the latter.

There is no doubt that this is Xiao Xiao Sa.

At this moment, its owner was hiding outside the security range of these four trees, and only released it after seeing Elerith's owl.

As a "spiritual creature", the little Shaman will not arouse the vigilance of nature's creation.

If these four trees were more "active", they would even establish a friendship.

Little Sa flew all the way to the vigilant Elerith, and suddenly a line of words appeared above his head:

"Can you lend me your invisibility cloak worth twenty thousand gold coins?"

Wha…what!? ?
Everyone in Elleris was dumbfounded. Is this even reasonable?
Asking for things is secondary, how can you even quote a price?

Is this considered as Wilderness House’s background check on itself?

"Who are you?" he asked in a low voice.

"Lend me your cloak worth twenty thousand gold coins."

Xiao Xiaosa repeated it again.

Elerith frowned.

He asked again without giving up.

The other party repeated it.

So this is the sentence you only know?

Elerius wondered what was going on today...

Although he felt a strong sense of absurdity, he still gritted his teeth, took off his cloak and threw it at the other party.

Little Sa was seen holding the cloak in his claws and mouth, flapping his wings vigorously, seemingly with great effort but actually taking away this generous gift easily.

In the cover of twilight, it flew into the sky like a ghost, and then quickly disappeared.

Not to mention the guards outside the courtyard, even Elerith himself couldn't see clearly.

The moment the other party disappeared, a deep regret surged in my heart!
"I'm not being deceived, am I?"

he said to himself.

The more I thought about it, the scarier it became. That was 20,000 gold coins...

——Don’t think about it. Don’t think about it.

He forced himself to calm down, and based on the existing information, he began to think about the other party's identity.

Although this soul beast is special, it is still a wild beast, otherwise it would not repeat that line of words infinitely.

So it is definitely controlled by animal taming.

The most authentic animal taming techniques and the most complete soul beast illustrations are all in the Daomu Valley.

So, after all, this is an ally.

When he thought of this, he felt much more at ease.

After all, the other party had mastered the hidden vein communication method and knew him so well.

The words carved on the ground before must have been left by this bird.

As for the letter, it was to allow himself to come here, and then send out the cloak to help people outside come in.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case! He felt more at ease.

This courtyard is located in the royal palace of the Sanctuary of Harmony. The reason why there are not many guards is that both the "palace" and the "sanctuary" have layers of guards.

Because of his special identity, he could ignore the first two levels of guards and come here directly, but the other party couldn't.

So, is an invisibility cloak enough?

Eleris couldn't imagine it, but he subconsciously thought that the other party could.

It was a custom-made sixth-level magic item. Even in a country like the elves where almost everyone can cast spells, it is too luxurious to have a sixth-level wizard patrolling. Therefore, there is not much external perception along the way, so it is theoretically possible.

If this is true, then this is not about delivering a letter, this is clearly about breaking into prison!

The Wilderness House learned that Princess Renee had brought back a solution to the withering. Whether for the purpose of suppressing the opponent or truly solving the problem, they needed to take her away!

Yes, that must be it!

As if to verify Elerith's guess, he soon noticed someone approaching silently.

"You guys are here?"

he whispered.

唰

The cloak was torn off.

Then he saw... three naked skeletons?
One of them had a golden holy flame burning in its skull. It was the tallest and stood straight, with a shield on its back.

But he had a staff in his mouth, stabbing directly into his stomach.

The other two were naked, their bony bodies pressed tightly against him on both sides.

The shape is quirky but very effective.

Otherwise a cloak can't cover three... skeletons.

"Thank you for the cloak. Now lend me your bow."

Such characters appeared on the top of the skull with green soul fire in its cranial cavity.

Eleris temporarily lost the ability to think, and he did it subconsciously.

Then he saw two men jump off the middle skeleton and pull the staff out of its mouth.

So the three skeletons, one holding a shield, one holding an arrow, and one holding a staff.

The three of them nodded to him, then walked towards the courtyard without saying a word, walking towards the four trees with their naked buttocks.

At that moment, Eleris gave up thinking.
