Chapter 39 Sound of Illusion
The mission of annihilating the goblins has been successfully completed, and the crystal that Zhan needs to transform the summoning crystal has been obtained. Logically speaking, now should be the time for the gongs, drums, and firecrackers to be set off to welcome the New Year happily. But unfortunately, everyone at the moment
But there is no such free time, and all of this is because of the information brought by Elise.
Human beings appeared.
It would be fine if they were just adventurers wandering around, but according to Elise's description, these people are obviously well-armed, well-trained, and numerous. They don't look like those who have heard too many legends.
A fool who came here to die because of the story.
The remaining gray dwarf soldiers left by Tog hurriedly returned to Brandon Stone City and passed the news to Khadek. No matter what conflicts there were between him and Khadek, they were still very consistent with the outside world. And Zhan
En Ye took the others back to his dungeon and began to discuss how to deal with the next situation. After all, the emergence of humans is not a good thing for the Underdark, especially such heavily armed, organized and disciplined teams.
, maybe they are another vanguard of the human expeditionary force. If this is the case, then this is likely to be a precursor to another war in the Dark Region, and we must be on guard against it.
But it’s a pity…………
"The intelligence we have is so little."
Enoa shook her head helplessly.
"If we can catch a few alive and come back for questioning, we might still get results, but for now, at least it is certain that these people are not just ordinary adventurers, then.........The next step is
How should we deal with the problem? It would be good if Miss Elise left a few alive, but it is a pity..."
Speaking of this, Enoa couldn't help but sigh. As a high-level undead creature, she has unique intelligence search skills. Even if the opponent is already dead, Enoa can still find herself from the opponent's brain, muscles, and internal organs.
She wanted information. But unfortunately, Elise was decisive. In order to avoid exposing her whereabouts, she burned all those people to ashes, so that now it is impossible for Enoa to find a corpse to get information.
Although she said this, Enoa did not intend to blame Elise. You must know that this is the first time Elise has met a human since she was born, and its significance is no less than that of encountering humans when exploring Mars.
Alien. As a half-vampire, it is obviously impossible for her to share a common language with humans. It is not completely unreasonable for her to kill and silence her in order to protect herself and cover up her whereabouts.
"It's nothing. Anyway, if those guys notice that someone is missing, they will definitely send someone to check it out."
Facing Elise's words, Zhan waved his hand, and then he looked at Verna.
"Then, Miss Verna, please go to the Blackstone Watchtower and be responsible for monitoring the movements of Brandon Stone City. If there are any changes, please report to me as soon as possible."
After hearing Zhan En's order, Verna frowned and snorted dissatisfiedly.
"Are you kidding? Now we are clearly discussing those lowly reptiles, but you want me to monitor those gray dwarves? I've almost had enough, damn, I am a dark elf, not a slave! Why do I
Do you have to do this kind of thing?!"
Facing Verna's dissatisfaction, Zhan remained calm. He just stretched out his hand, pushed up his glasses slightly, and stared at the dark elf in front of him.
"This is a request, Miss Verna - I don't want it to be turned into an order. Please don't forget your identity."
"you…………!!"
Hearing this, Verna immediately clenched her fists, her eyes widened, and she gritted her teeth and stared at Zhan. At this moment, Verna almost burst out with anger. Who is she? She is a noble darkness.
A member of the elves. Verna never wanted to be anyone's subordinate. The reason why she did so before was because she had to surrender to Zhan's powerful power. But now it seems that she must be tougher to let her
This mage realizes his own value. Damn it, she is not one of those lowly slaves. Why does she even have to do this kind of work by herself? If it is killing someone, forget it, but now... this bastard mage,
You must let him know how powerful you are!! This damn bastard......!!
What's wrong with this?
At this moment, suddenly, another voice appeared in Verna's mind, as if another person was whispering in her ear.
Don’t you want to kill that mage? Then just do as he said. Anyway, you are no longer in the dark elf city, and no one will know what you are doing. So what do you have to worry about?
?Listen to the mage's orders, do what he says, paralyze him, and then gain his trust. By that time, you will have enough opportunities to kill him, right?
"………………"
Verna didn't speak, but in her head, the voice still continued.
What are you dissatisfied with? Verna? Have you forgotten how you survived in the Northland before? From being alone to forming a mercenary group, you know the hardships during the period better than anyone. It is the same now,
Don't forget what you are good at. He is just a male, a man. No man can block the dark elf's lust. Approach him, confuse him, and then make him surrender in front of you like a dog. But now you
You are not his opponent yet, so you have to hide your anger and pretend to surrender to him. Only in this way can you go further, get closer to this mage, win his trust, and then gain access to his weaknesses. Until then
At that time, he was still not yours?
That’s the same thing…………
Hearing this voice, Verna was stunned for a moment, and then a strange smile appeared in her eyes. Yes, this is what the dark elves do. Why should she be so stupid as to confront this mage head-on? As long as it's like this
Wouldn't it be nice to be by his side, gain his trust, and then take the opportunity to find his weaknesses?
"snort!!"
Thinking of this, Verna snorted coldly, then turned around.
"I know, I'll go now, then everything will be fine!!"
After saying this, Verna opened the door and left the study without waiting for Zhan to say anything else.
Because of this, she did not see the flash of smile in Zhan En's eyes.
"Okay, it seems that Miss Verna has figured it out."
After Verna left, Zhan withdrew his gaze from the study door and looked at Enoa standing next to him with a half-smiling expression. Sensing the master's gaze, the undead girl only raised her eyebrows slightly.
He frowned and said nothing.
"Enoa, go inform Bix and ask her to lead the goblins to expand the space of the summoning crystal to 4x6. We want to play something big."
"Okay, Master, I'll go now."
After hearing Zhan En's order, Enoa nodded without any hesitation, then turned and left. At the same time, she did not forget to reach out her hand to help Zhan En close the study door. The sound of the heavy door closing sounded, echoing in the extremely quiet space.
It was only then that Zhan narrowed his eyes, then stretched out his hand to draw in the void. Soon, a map of the Underdark appeared in front of him.
The one in the middle is naturally the underground city where Zhan En is, while the ones on the west and south sides are the locations of Brandon Stone City and Black Onyx Stone City respectively... But Zhan En doesn't care about these, on the contrary.
, he stretched out his hand, and soon, a series of red dots appeared - that was the place where Elise fought with the human patrol before.
It seems that the system is still beneficial, at least it will not let you face an extremely crude map and ponder for a long time without finding the result.
Judging from the map, the location where Elise met the human patrol is located on the edge of the Blackstone Abyss, which is a relatively desolate place in the Northland wilderness. There are only volcanic rocks and piles of rubble, and other than that there are no living people.
No shadow can be seen. Because of this, not only the intelligent races will not go there, but even the underground monsters rarely go there to look for food.
In addition, the roads in Blackrock Abyss are complicated and rugged, and there are many caves. It is easy for ordinary people to get lost. Zhan just explored it casually at first, and after confirming that there was no danger there, he never took it to heart again. Now look at it.
Get up, if there is a portal, it is probably hidden deep in the Blackstone Abyss.
However, Zhan didn't plan to find the portal immediately and launch an attack. After listening to Elise's previous report, the portal was heavily guarded, and the portal was two-way, allowing entry and exit. No one knew where it was.
What is the situation? What if you have worked hard to occupy the teleportation gate, and then you find that you have fallen into a trap when you teleport over? It will be a big mistake. The best way is to wait for the time to come and follow the opponent's team.
Hide out. As long as you can reach the surface safely, Zhan will have a way to re-establish a two-way connection with the dungeon. This is much better than occupying the portal and waiting for the other party to come over, and it is more free.
Of course, preparations must be made before that. Zhan has sent three aliens there to investigate and find the location of the portal, and to investigate the situation of the adventurers to ensure that he can get enough information, so
Only then can he disguise himself as much as possible and not be discovered. Of course, you also need to look at the security situation there. If there are only two or three kittens, then Zhan will have to knock down the portal. But if not, just
The only option is to consider another path. All in all, there is nothing wrong with making all kinds of preparations in advance.
But before that…………
Raising his head, Zhan's eyes swept across the Black Stone Abyss, then landed on the Black Onyx City, and then the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Let's watch a good show first.
Chapter completed!
