When Elitte returned to the camp, he did not hide the worried expression on his face. This also surprised Lars and Divo, who were waiting for news about Elitte in the camp. However, they did not say much.

, it wasn’t until Yi Laite walked into the camp and drove away all the idle people that he got to the point.

"You look very ugly, Elitte."

Devo touched his long horns, then narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the vampire count in front of him.

"What happened? Are there no clues to find Elise? Don't be so anxious. Brandon Stone City is only so big. As long as we go around and explore, we will definitely find some clues.

"

"Why……………"

Hearing his friend's comfort, Elitte let out a long sigh, and then he lowered his head with a gloomy expression. But seeing Elitte like this, Divo and Lars felt even more strange. You know, in the Black Onyx City,

Elitte has always been the calmest one. Even if Devo jumped in anger, even if Lars's roar was enough to shake the entire dark area, he always had the image of sitting beside him holding a wine glass. This is not Elitte.

Not caring about other people, on the contrary, it is precisely because of Elitte's unique detachment as a half-vampire that he helped them stand out from the death traps in the dark area time and time again. In the minds of everyone, Elitte will always be

He is a calm and steady person. But now, looking at that face with a forced smile and a helpless expression - it is really hard for people to imagine that this is what the "wise man", one of the three giants of Black Onyx Stone City, should have.

expression.

"What's wrong? Could it be that something happened to Elise?"

"No, she's fine."

Hearing Divo's question, Elitte took a deep breath and then answered.

"I found Elise. Everything is fine with her. She has not been manipulated, brainwashed, or killed. It's just that I can't bring her back..."

"What's going on?"

Although Elitte has already given an explanation, for the other two people, this is more confusing than no explanation. Listening to Elitte's words, isn't Elise fine and there is no problem? Then

How could he say that there was no way to bring Elise back? Sensing the gazes of the two, Yi Laite smiled helplessly, and then told the two of them in detail everything that had happened before.

Once again. After listening to Elitte's story, Lars and Devo were immediately shocked.

"You mean, someone took Elise into custody? And you couldn't beat him? So Elise didn't dare to come back?"

"That's pretty much it."

Facing the questions from his colleagues, Yi Laite nodded.

"I suspect that Elise dare not come back for this reason. That guy's power far exceeds my imagination. Even if he hadn't been merciful, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to come back intact now. Not only that, I doubt that he

There may be some kind of huge power behind him, and Elise calls him 'Lord of the City', which is very problematic in itself."

Indeed, if it were on the surface, it would not be surprising for the ruler of a city to be called the city lord. But it is different in the Underdark. A city is often an independent force, so the leaders here will also be called the city lord.

It has its own characteristics. For example, the illithids are called the Overmind, the dark elves are called the First Matron, and the gray dwarves are called the Archons. In other words, in the Underdark, each city is not so much a city as it is a city.

It is a gathering place of ethnic groups, and naturally it must be ruled by the dominant ethnic group. This is completely different from the "cities" on the ground that are highly mobile and can accept immigrants at will.

It is very thought-provoking that a title as neutral as "City Lord" without any racial characteristics appears in the Underdark.

"Who is the other party? Is it a human being?"

"I don't know. He was tightly wrapped in a robe from beginning to end. Apart from the fact that he wears glasses, I can't find any other characteristics for the time being. As for humans..." said this

, Yi Laite paused. "I don't think he is a human being. Although he looks similar to a human being in appearance, his strength and speed are far superior to those of a mortal. It can even be said that even a purebred vampire's physical fitness is probably inferior to that of a human being."

It’s not even comparable to him.”

"Is it really so scary? I still think it's more likely that it's a human being. It's not like we don't know how cunning and terrifying those humans are. Maybe he carries some mysterious and strange magic equipment. I'm sure that guy

It definitely comes from the surface. How could there be such a title as City Lord in the Dark Territory..."

"No, indeed there are."

Just when the snake-man Lars was expressing his views impassionedly, Divo, who had been silent before, suddenly interrupted him. He raised his head and glanced at the two of them with his lizard-like eyes.

Then he spoke.

"In the Underdark, there is indeed a person worthy of this title - Dungeon Master."

"………………"

At this moment, the air froze. Perhaps the little fish and shrimps under their command were not very clear about the rumors about the underground city, but for the three giants who were expanding their territories in the Dark Territory, they had heard this rumor many times.

. In fact, the stories of dungeons in the Underdark are as frequent as the stories humans on the surface tell about dragons catching princesses and eating children.

Unfortunately, the story itself is one thing. It is another thing when the protagonist in the story becomes a real existence and appears in front of you.

"Hahaha...this is impossible."

Snake-man Lars laughed dryly, showing an expression of obvious disbelief.

"That's just a legend, and there's no evidence to prove it..."

"No, no, no, Lars, you are a snake man, and you don't know much about this aspect. But we tieflings are different, we have the blood of demons. This story has been circulating among the tiefling tribe, a powerful and mysterious existence

, holds a magic weapon, and is called the 'Lord of the City' by Elise, I think this is probably correct...that person should be the Dungeon Lord!"

"...If it's true, wouldn't it be troublesome? If I remember correctly, the legendary dungeon is the palace of the devil."

“No no no no no!!!”

To the surprise of Ilett and Lars, the tiefling Divo jumped up this time, showing a rather excited expression, and interrupted their conversation at the same time.

"You really don't understand... These dungeons are not as simple as ordinary demon kings' palaces! Have you ever seen any god come to live in the main material plane? No, for the same reason, you have never seen any demon king.

You left the demon world and came to the main material plane, right? In fact, although these dungeons are called the demon king’s palace, they are not really the demon king’s palace, but the palace of the demon king’s son!!”

"What... I'm just talking about how the devil came... Wait, how did you know this news? Why did you never tell us?"

"This is a secret between us tieflings, and we have never encountered a dungeon, so I haven't told you about it... Forget it, don't dig up old scores for me here, you know this

Why did the son of the Demon King leave the Demon Realm and come to the Dark Area?"

"...How do I know this? I was sent to exile?"

"idiot!"

After giving Lars a vicious look, Devo continued.

"Although it's disgusting, you should also know the legend that there are sons of gods on the ground."

"…………"

Hearing this, Elitte and Lars nodded. Sons of the gods, to put it bluntly, are people who have been favored by the gods since birth. They will have extraordinary strength and luck, experience unprecedented adventures, and destroy countless people.

Enemies of the Qing Dynasty, they eventually became legendary heroes or saints after going through many hardships and hardships. Of course, the roles played by Yi Laite and others in this story are naturally tragic and cute villains.

"We don't know very clearly, but the sons of the Demon King and the Sons of the Gods are almost the same. Legend has it that every once in a while, they will start a mysterious and terrifying ritual, allowing those qualified sons of the Demon King to come to the main material plane.

and recruit troops here to launch attacks on the surface. This is the truth why demons will launch attacks on the surface every few hundred years. In fact, a large part of our tiefling members are in this

Born in the midst of war.”

Having said this, Divo clenched his hands vigorously, with an involuntary expression of excitement on his face.

"And do you know? The son of the Demon King who wins this battle will become the new Demon King, and the subordinates who perform well will be favored by His Highness, the Son of the Demon King, and brought back to the Demon Realm to become true Demon clan members!!!

If we can have such a backer, then Black Onyx City will no longer have to worry about any accidents in the future!! And we will abandon this embarrassing identity in front of us and become the true, most noble and powerful people of darkness!!"

"this……………"

Hearing Devot's words, Eilat was also excited. As half-vampires, their status is similar to that of tieflings, and they are not taken seriously because of their mixed blood. If they can become true demon dependents, then these will be

Not a problem anymore!!

"But it's not me who pours cold water on you..."

But at this moment, Lars's voice sounded again.

"I don't really understand this issue, but if Miss Elise is caught by the dungeon master, doesn't it mean that the patrol team we sent before was looking for trouble in the dungeon? That's why people put it

Miss Elise probably arrested her. In this case, how are you going to cooperate with the city lord?"

"this…………………"

Hearing this, Eilat and Devo were stunned for a moment, and the originally heated atmosphere fell silent again.

Lars is right, if this is really the case, what should they do?

"Report!!"

At this moment, a quick voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silence in the room, and then a scout was seen running in hurriedly with a solemn face.

"A report came from the third patrol ahead that they were attacked by humans!!"
