return to edgar

"Amy is awake, it's the eyeliner I put next to Sherman." Hawke paused for a few seconds, seeing Link's expression was a little subtle, "She said that the person who attacked her was a night elf."

The knife piercing the heart could kill her if it was just a little bit deeper. The other party deliberately let her survive.

"How did they join in?" Wasn't a patrol team just killed by a necromancer?Link's attention was attracted by the night elves, and he didn't pay attention to Hawk's strange expression.

"Although the alliance between the undead and demons exists in name only, Aiden has a special geographical location." Hawk pointed to the ground, "Just below the surface, there is Elysion, the largest night elf city in the southwest."

"What does this have to do with Sherman? Even if he is a lord, he is only the lord of humans. The night elves who claim to be immortal don't take this kind of thing." Recently, Link's energy in the illusion has been completely exhausted. Invest in professional learning and sub-talent exercises, and his understanding of Edgar's settings still stays with the knowledge he saw in Hegu Town.

Hawk turned his gaze to Jafar behind Link.

"Let me explain." The Druid simply explained to Link why the Natural Alliance valued Sherman so much. At the end of the empire, the royal family was incompetent, and the twelve powerful lords became independent one after another. Faster is depraved, acting as the interim agent of the Natural Alliance, and signed an agreement with Nyala, one of the twelve lords. The lord at the time promised not to bring the war to the land of protection, and the druids continued to hold places in various places in Nyala Spirit blessing.

Hundreds of years have passed, and the situation has changed with the passage of time. Affected by the pollution of the undead and the influence of mages, more and more cities have given up blessing the ancestral spirits and adopted more cursed ancestral spirits. Druids Back to the place of protection, and gradually cut off contact with humans.In the generation of Sherman's grandfather, in order to support the fierce southern war and recruit more mercenaries and businessmen, the lord at that time drove away the druids and invited the mages of Hohenheim to be in charge of the hall of spirits.This action angered the Natural Alliance, and Sherman's grandfather was deprived of his lordship by the aristocratic council that had long coveted his territory, and Aiden City began to decline from then on, both economically and politically.

"Although the power of the lord has been taken away, the contract is passed down from generation to generation along with the bloodline." Hawke interjected at the right time, "Nyala is protected by the Pillar of the Earth, even if there are no druids stationed, it is impossible for the undead to appear."

"The reason why Hull is so sure that the lord is colluding with the undead is because there is a problem with the contract?" Link roughly understood what they meant.

"That's right, only with the permission of the landowner, can the undead enter the border of the Guardian Land unimpeded." Jafar nodded. The southernmost part of the Jingyao Forest extends into Nyala. In the Silver Age, the people here Humans and elves live in a friendly relationship without definite boundaries, which has continued to this day, and the undead use this point to invade.

After what Jafar said, Link understood why Hull paid so much attention to Sherman, but he still didn't understand that the night elves would be involved in this matter.

"What about the night elves? Isn't their territory underground?"

Even if it is a territorial dispute, it is with dwarves and gnomes, who have not had a direct war with humans for many years.

"Although it exists in name only, the alliance between demons and undead has not been completely broken. As long as Frost Cold offers assistance, the night elves cannot refuse." Bards, thieves, and only a small number of warrior-like mercenaries, they can't fight the night elves who are best at lurking combat underground, not to mention the belief that both sides share-Malick, the god of shadows, if the balance of the gods is tilted a little Well, the blow to the web was deadly, and they were of no help in the pursuit of Sherman.

"Does that mean you want to quit?" Link was quite surprised to hear that Spiderweb believed in Malik as much as the night elves.

Even the Sons of Nature of the disciplinary faction only acted like chaos, but the actual alignment was still order. How could the cobweb that escaped from the Alliance of Nature choose a god of chaos alignment as their faith?

"Sorry, since the spider web quit the Alliance of Nature, Malik has been regarded as the main god. After all, he is in charge of all the secrets that are carried out in the shadows and in private. The decision of the gods is not something that mortals can guess, and we can't take risks." Hawk spread his hands, It's not that he is timid and shrinking back. Compared with the night elves, humans are destined to suffer. Who made Malik a god born of night elves.

Well, even if the spider's web quits, I just need to stay up until dawn to find out about Sherman's whereabouts.Link nodded, and it was very rare for Hawk to tell directly instead of making small moves behind the scenes.

"There is one more important thing..." Hawk took out a scroll with the sound insulation technique written on it, and made it clear that he wanted to tell Link some private things.

Seeing Jafar not looking sideways, Link stepped forward, Hawk tore the scroll, and released a sound insulation technique of two meters square.

"Amy said that the night elf who stabbed her is looking forward to working with you again."

Artis?It's him?

Link instantly thought of the only night elf he had come into contact with.

Since the night elves obeyed the alliance agreement with the undead, why did they cooperate with themselves in River Valley Town to get rid of the necromancer?Isn't this contradictory?He knew that the children of nature and the undead were old enemies, but he wanted to express this sentence through the eyeliner of the spider web?

Looking forward to the next cooperation with me, what do you mean?Is it a warning?Or... a trap?

Link returned to the guest room with a solemn expression, while Paine and Yuan Ye were discussing with great interest where Sherman might be hiding.

"What, the whereabouts of the lord?"

Link shook his head, and informed the two of the fact that the spider web had withdrawn from the search for the lord's whereabouts.

"There is such an inside story, no wonder the guild asked me to stop..." Pan En is not a fool, thinking from the withdrawal of the spider web that the Assassin guild may have ordered him to terminate the mission for the same reason.If this deduction is true, then he cannot follow Link to find Sherman.

"Both of you can't go. Sherman is an expert-level summoner, and the night elves around him are at least expert-level assassins. They are very dangerous enemies. I'm still in the novice protection period, even if I'm not their opponent. There is no danger of death. And... the Dawn Sect is an extreme religious organization, and they are hostile to the Sons of Nature who are in the camp of order, so let's not talk about occupations that wander the edge of evil such as assassins and bards." Even if Paine didn't take the initiative, Link would not allow him to follow.

When he heard that the enemy was an expert, Yuan Ye fell silent.Leapfrog killing monsters is a technical job, he thinks he doesn't have that ability.

"I'm afraid you can't handle it alone." Paine worried that Link would not be able to face two experts at the same time.

"Of course I didn't go alone, and there were druids with me." Jafar came this time with an elite who had just withdrawn from the northern front, and he entered the underground waterway to arrest Xie Xie after Link's spell slot was reset. Elman.

"Having said that, you'd better be careful." Paine's exhortation made Link's face feel hot.

The boots on his feet are the lost sacred objects of the Assassin's Guild, lucky gold coins.Regardless of the mission reward after completion, just because it is an assassin's exclusive sacred object, the promotion of Paine is a qualitative leap.But he can't hand over this sacred object to Paine right now, and it's not because Link has become greedy. The sacred object has no effect on non-believers. The main line of his mission is also related to Su Wen. Su Wen, whose alias was Rhodes before he disappeared, was the president of the Shadow Thorn Guild.This sacred object may have been used by Su Wen.It's about friends, Link can't help but care.After careful consideration, he still decided to wait for the investigation to be clear and find a way to absorb the magic essence before giving the holy object to Paine.

When the first ray of sunlight appeared on the horizon, it was time to reset the spells belonging to the order camp.Link pushed open the back door of the tavern, and there were only two or three pedestrians on the street.

Near the tavern, there was a dark well leading directly to the sewer. Jafar lifted the cover to reveal a dark passage.

They couldn't find Sherman, but it wasn't difficult to find the night elves. The Dawn Sect had always been keen on chaotic camps. As long as they followed them, they wouldn't have to worry about finding Sherman.

Link reminded Jafar, don't fall for the night elves' tricks.The believers of Dawn can sense the opposing camps, and the chaotic people they regard as their enemies also know that as long as they use this, they can lure and disperse their opponents to defeat them one by one.Fighting creatures with dark vision in the dark underground, humans who rely on vision are inferior.

Glancing at the swinging ladder spinning down, Link raised the newly lit torch, "I'll open the way ahead."

"My lord..." Jafar just opened his mouth when Link raised his hand to stop him.

"I don't have darkvision, and I have to rely on light to see things. Instead of letting you go ahead and expose whereabouts, it's better to pretend that I'm alone."

"But the night elves can see..."

"Heat source, I know, they can see the heat emitted by creatures. As druids, you have ways to hide yourself to some extent, even if it is worth wasting a spell slot. Our opponent is a master who is good at lurking, but That doesn't mean they won't fall for it, they rely on instinct more than I do in this environment."

"I understand." Jafar nodded to the other five druids who hadn't spoken from the beginning to the end, and their figures quickly turned into a faint gas.

This trick is Gasos' gasification technique. It will naturally lose its temperature when it becomes air. Even night elves with dark vision can hardly find it.

Link didn't deliberately conceal his movements, he just cast a bark skin technique to defend himself, and swaggered down into the dark well with a torch.His purpose of doing this is to cover the other six druids, no matter who he encounters, the opponent's attention will be focused on him first.

ps: I didn’t intend to see the label of unlimited IQ in the reader’s impression today. I can’t help but want to ask everyone, is this book really mentally handicapped?I have always felt that even if the things I write are not good enough, at least they are of a readable level.
