winter era

Chapter 14 It's not a miracle to beg
In fact, entering the core is easier than Kaos thought.

There were no twists and turns along the way. Under the leadership of the elf witch Rosalind, Kaos easily arrived at the core of the ice elf residence.And because of the lack of status, the chattering little girl could only look at the back of Kaos walking into the core and turn her head three times.Reluctantly left that mysterious black-robed wizard who seemed to have a lot of good things.

To be honest, this really made Kaos breathe a sigh of relief.

The core of the ice elf residence is quite unexpected.It's not the kind of stilt tree house full of elven features that let wizards and druids cast spells to distort the trees, but an altar made of a large unbelievable tree stump.

Numerous runes and histories are depicted on the altar in various fonts familiar or unfamiliar to wizards.To his surprise, he actually misunderstood where these elves resided.There are countless powerful spell runes that are so powerful that people feel suffocating, lingering on the wooden stake, and there are also a lot of defensive runes that still circulate the power of will on the ground of the altar.But what makes people feel regretful is that due to the structural collapse caused by the decay of the wood and the death of the entire altar foundation, only the available rune structure of constant temperature is left in this amazing enchantment.

And Kaos didn't try to rub the runes on it.Anyway, it was a product of thousands of years ago. You can ask the great elf wizards in the imperial capital about these things. There is no need to waste time on such a small rural place.What he cared more about were the elf elders in front of him who were wearing gold and silver, which were completely different from the ice elf men and women who were wearing tube tops and hot pants or simply wearing pants along the way.

His task is to let this group of elves who seem to have shown a certain age participate in the war.

"I am Kaos, the chief mage of the Northland, the strongest on the ice field, and your future leader."

Kaos knew very well that he didn't have any commendable appearance, and that lich-like face would only make his figure more evil.But he didn't intend to cover his face, but simply pulled up his hood.The terrifying face that was only one step away from the shadow was clearly reflected in the muddy pupils of the elves, in exchange for a short exclamation.

He was like a real lich called by power, his pale and thin face was full of sarcasm, and he stretched out his palm facing the group of old elves.Countless howling shadows and darkness gathered in his hands, condensing into a scorched black cane.The moment the cane fell to the ground, a black substance immediately turned the rotten wood into a cloud of shadows.The group of old elves frowned when they saw the shadow's cane, and their expressions became more miserable.

"Begging is never a miracle, but alms. There is no helping and being helped between us, but a simple distinction of interests. You give me treasures and materials, and I kill the dragon. Our relationship is just in this way."

In the deepest part of the ice elf's garrison, a wizard with a body as thin as a skeleton raised his head proudly.Two gloomy flames were lit in the empty eyes, which ruthlessly took the frowning elves opposite them into their eye sockets.With just a blink of an eyelid, the luxurious mirror images of the elves turned into countless fragments in the black fire, returning to chaos again.

Kaos didn't pay attention to these elves at all.

Even if the elves in front of him, who were called elders, were dressed abnormally formally, in his eyes, they were no different from a piece of garbage in essence.Being able to come here is only because of the prayer of the councilor wizard, and there is no other reason.

As for the little girl's request, it couldn't be simpler, as long as a small dragon maniac or spiritual spell can drive away the group of giant dragons for a short time.Anyway, you don't want to kill, do you?Then it only needs to be discussed with Genlong to let them leave here for a day.A day's expulsion is also an expulsion, and Kaos never breaks his promise.

But what the councilor wizard said gave him some new ideas.It is true that he could just pat his ass and take out a contract and tell the officials of the imperial capital that I have done my best.But correspondingly, as the chief mage of the Northland, he did not fulfill his obligations. The whole Northland became the back garden of the barbarians, and the blood of the 23 nobles fell apart in his hands.Even if he is a great wizard, there is no way to cover up this absolute failure in performance, which will prevent him from having any tasks and funding for ten years.

Kaos is only 20 years old now, and he doesn't want to spend the next ten years in the mage's tower facing books and materials.Although he also has to admit that this is likely to be his future path.If he didn't have the strength to make these elves stand up.

He felt that he should still try to convince this group of stubborn old people.Just for your own future.

"It doesn't matter to me what you think, elves. I only care about whether you can show enough fighting courage to let me kill the group of dragons for you, that's all." The mage like dead wood Looking at the elves in front of him, he said slowly.To make his performance more convincing, he even used magic to enhance his voice.

That half of the body that has become a shadow gradually extends and expands, supporting the vibration of the human vocal cords.Using a way that normal people would think is crazy, the sound extends along the shadows, perfectly conveying to every corner of the altar.

"Go to fight, to show your strength, you have no choice, elves. If you don't fight, you will die. There may be a chance of survival in fighting. A lifetime of cowards will achieve nothing. Sooner or later, you will become a little bit of decoration in the ice dragon's cave. "

"The manifestation of supernatural power, Your Excellency the Great Wizard Kaos..." The elf elders on the altar, dressed like light bulbs made by goblins, shook their beards, quietly chewing on the meaning of the name.No one would make fun of the identity of a great wizard, even the ice elves have such common sense.So they affirmed his identity as a matter of course.

"I think we can be sure of your strength, but we can't gamble on the future of our race. The race is never for gambling. Because every tiny mistake will lead to a catastrophe. You can understand this idea, we just It’s just a group of old people, we don’t have that much ambition or ideas, we just want to continue our own species.”

"Then you should hold your weapons and fight, elves." Kaos shouted loudly.The sound made by magic shook the entire altar, causing the top torch to sway along with it.This made the expressions of the elves even more cloudy and uncertain.

"The remnants of Sakaros, your homeland, and the mentality of your people along the way, I have learned something about it. Your race has no future at all, it only knows blind dedication and tolerance, and the spirit of resistance doesn't even exist But what kind of future does such a cowardly race talk about? If this kind of future is the future you want, then your future will last at most a hundred years. The dragons will easily destroy your homeland, plunder your ethnic group, and make your The future is completely cut off."

The half-human tapped on the cane, and the runes on the altar were gradually stained with crazy and impetuous shadows.Countless pitch-black lines entangled around the wizard, twisting and moaning in pain.That cruel gesture put countless mental pressure on the elf elders.

"But this is speculation after all, isn't it? Maybe it won't be the case in the future?" an elf said with a sad face.But even he knew how unreliable his theory was, so he put on a bitter face, and casually said some ridiculous theories as if he was dealing with it. "Maybe the group of giant dragons will find out with conscience?"

"Forget it, saying something like this is just a joke for the wizard." Before the wizard could refute, the elf elder standing in the center of the altar had already waved his hand, signaling that the elf didn't need to say anything more .The headed old man obviously has a status far superior to others.Even the decorations on their bodies are far more decorated than ordinary elves.Under his command, the elf with a bitter face also simply gave up his speech.

"Your Excellency, if you want to destroy those giant dragons, when will you start?" After telling the young elf to shut up, a rare sharp light appeared in the eye socket of the leading old elf, looking straight at the opposite side Smiling wizard.

As if to remind the status of the ice elves, the black lines gradually manifested their bodies in reality.They circled around the wizard and became active, weaving into countless huge black mouths, grinning ferociously at the elves and laughing silently.A mental scream began to echo in the elf's mind.A crazy and arrogant atmosphere gradually permeated the altar square.Even the old elf with the highest status looked uncomfortable and subconsciously moved his gaze away.

"Tomorrow. My dear ally." Kaos made a cut on both sides of his cheek like a night owl, revealing his white teeth.The sneering face made all the elves feel an ominous atmosphere. "I need a day to recuperate and adjust my ability to the peak state. After a day, you will see what you want."

"...I hope our agreement goes well, Lord Kaos."

"Of course, my ally."

The conversation between the two sides ended with honorifics, and the elf elders hurriedly withdrew from the other side of the altar to the core of the resident with strange faces, as if they had encountered a plague god.Kaos, who was left with only shadows all over his body, stirred the darkness in the altar, smiling silently and ferociously.That disgusting gesture filled Kaos with hatred and loathing.
