Chapter 6 The Lurking Darkness
Verna felt very irritated.
As a half-dark elf, Verna has done a lot to gain her current status. She relied on the power of the dark elves to win over the bugbears and orcs, and gained a considerable degree of prestige in the North with her own strength and cruelty.
.For a dark elf who left his hometown and lost the protection of his family, Verna felt that no one could do better than herself.
When she accepted the task required by the gray dwarves to explore the ruins deep in the mines, Verna knew that her opportunity had come. As long as she could complete this task, she could successfully take root in Brandon Stone City.
By that time, she will have plenty of ways to slowly climb to the highest position and rule the city.
Even the entire Northland.
Verna didn't care about the dangers in the mines mentioned by the gray dwarves. In her opinion, these lowly creatures were just trying to make her retreat. However, for a woman with dark elf blood,
, it was her choice to face the difficulties. She was fully prepared for this and was convinced that she would be able to succeed.
Because of this, Verna did not have the slightest fondness for the Necromancer and his men who suddenly joined her team. She even suspected that the gray dwarf had already guessed her ambitions, so she deliberately found the Necromancer to help her.
Adding to the chaos. Because of this, Verna obviously doesn't have any good feelings towards these two uninvited guests.
"Remember your identity! Lowly male!!"
Verna stomped her feet heavily, and her high-heeled leather boots inlaid with metal made a loud sound on the ground. She just crossed her arms and looked with disdain at the man in front of her who was wrapped in a black robe.
Zhan, and the noble girl standing next to him.
"Don't think that the mage is so great. Since you asked to join my team and act with us, you must obey my orders! Of course I know that you are a mage, but I can guarantee that if you don't obey my orders,
If you even cause trouble for me, my sword can also penetrate your throat! I guarantee that it will be faster than the time it takes you to chant magic!"
Hearing Verna's angry threat, Zhan didn't say anything. Instead, Enoa frowned slightly, then she slid her body gracefully and took a half step forward - it looked like she was inviting a partner to a dance.
lady.
"I hope you can take back your insulting remarks to the master, the beautiful 'half-blood' dark elf lady."
Enoa stared quietly at those purple pupils. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she pronounced the word "mixed blood" with a strong accent.
"We only came here at the invitation of the gray dwarves. If it weren't for the fact that we have the same destination, there would be no need for us to travel with you. I hope you can understand this deeply."
"you……………"
Hearing Enoa's words, Verna almost went crazy. If she were in the city of the dark elves, the only outcome for anyone who dared to speak to her like this would be to be tortured to death by the dark elves. But unfortunately,
This is not a city of dark elves, and Enoa's pale and even bluish skin is clearly warning her of the true identity of the noble girl in front of her.
Undead.
Through the special vision of the dark elf, Verna could see the light radiating from Zhan's body, representing the temperature of life. It was proof of a living person. But she could not see anything similar in the girl in front of her. If not
Transformed into a normal visual method, Verna would only think that what was in front of her was a stone or something else.
Verna's knowledge warned her that any undead creature with intelligence that is almost the same as a living person is the most difficult enemy to deal with. Even the first mistress of Balenzo had to hug those walking corpses.
There was a certain degree of respect. She was extremely sure that her sword would penetrate the girl's slender throat in the next moment, but she also had no doubt that the other party would tear her chest apart at the same time.
The answer to who will really die by then is almost inevitable.
In the end, Verna chose to leave. She stamped her feet angrily, then turned around and strode forward. After confirming that the other party had compromised, Enoa returned to Zhan En's house again with a calm smile.
around.
"You shouldn't have teased her."
Zhan, who had been watching the whole drama in silence, did not speak until this moment. Enoa's loyalty to herself made her unable to tolerate anyone's ridicule and insults to Zhan. Zhan was sure that if Verna
If she dared to say more than a word, her heart would be in Enoa's hand now.
On this point, Enoa is very persistent. She has shown the courage of undead creatures without fear more than once. Not only when facing Verna, but also when she was in the demon world, even when facing those powerful demons, she
And never back down.
Zhan remembered clearly that one time his sister came to see him, but Zhan was busy conducting an experiment at the time and could not be disturbed at all. So Enoa used all her strength to block Vivian from the door.
Even though her limbs were broken by the furious half-dragon girl, she showed no sign of fear or retreat.
In the end, even Vivian was frightened by Enoa's persistence, and was eventually pulled away by Naberius who came after hearing the news. From then on, no one dared to look down upon the person Zhan summoned.
The undead girl.
Only Zhan En knew that the connection between him and Enoa was far deeper than they imagined.
"In the dark underground, an interesting toy can be used to kill time, Master."
Facing Zhan's words, Enoa blinked playfully.
"And, I think you've seen it too."
"Yeah...that's right..."
Hearing Enoa's words, Zhan nodded. He stretched out his hand to push up his glasses, and then looked at Verna who was standing in front of the team, waving a whip and shouting, and a ray of light flashed from the lenses.
The reason why Verna was so furious in front of Zhan En was not only because she wanted to maintain her prestige and status, but also because of fear. As a demon, Zhan En could feel that in the body of the dark elf
, also flowing with the blood of burning dark flames.
That is the bloodline of the demon clan.
This is the reason why Verna was so restless in front of Zhan. Because the other half of her bloodline was instinctively reminding the dark elf that the person standing in front of her was a demon clan, and it was also a royal clan. In the strict and hierarchical demon clan,
In a clear society, nothing is more important than this.
Therefore, even if Zhan just stands in front of Verna and does nothing, this hybrid dark elf will instinctively feel fear. She will want to kneel in front of Zhan and can't wait to express her surrender - this is a
What demons should do when facing noble blood.
But Verna was obviously not familiar with this, and because of this, she was frightened by this sudden fear. And from her expression, Zhan could guess that Verna probably didn't know that she was possessed by demons.
The blood of the clan. Otherwise, she would definitely be able to see her identity immediately. After all, in the dark underground world, only the demon clan is the eternal and supreme ruler.
"It seems that she doesn't know her life experience at all."
Zhan whispered to himself, while Enoa nodded beside him. During those years in the demon world, Zhan learned a lot of knowledge. Although his strength was not enough to use powerful spells, the power of knowledge,
It's never just about fighting.
In fact, Zhan has even guessed how Verna was born. For the dark elves, the demons are their supreme masters and rulers, and all the dark elves surrender to a demon king named Rose in the demon world.
In order to obtain the power and gifts of the demons, the dark elves will hold rituals from time to time, summoning the powerful demons in the demon world to come to them, and dedicate their bodies to those demons in order to form an alliance with each other. In this kind of
During the ceremony, children with demon blood would occasionally be born.
And Verna is obviously one of them.
But what makes Zhann curious is that generally dark elves born with mixed blood with demons have a very high status. Exiled dark elves like Verna are rare. What did she do that made her...
Not even her blood can protect this poor unfortunate guy?
Zhan suddenly found himself very interested in this.
This may leave a mark on his record.
Verna didn't know that she had become Zhan's "observation material". At this moment, she was waving her whip and driving the burly bugbear forward. She couldn't understand what she felt in her heart when she saw the necromancer.
Where did the fear and uneasiness come from? She could feel that she was very concerned about the other person's actions, just like a student who was always worried that her teacher would make a bad evaluation of her.
This feeling made Verna very uncomfortable. Even in the dark elf city, when facing her mistress, she was not so cautious and cared so much about her feelings.
But why was she so cautious when facing this Necromancer? Is it because she was afraid of his identity as a mage? It was not the first time that Verna had dealt with a mage, but why did she feel different from other people about this Necromancer?
Same?
“Dang……Dang…………!!”
Just when Verna was deep in thought, suddenly there was a heavy knocking sound of stones. Before Verna could recover, a shrill scream suddenly came from the front. Then, next to the team, she saw,
Those "stones" that originally looked like harmless piles in a corner suddenly stood up, waved their huge claws, and launched an attack on the team in front of them!
When she heard this voice, Verna's expression suddenly changed.
"No, it's the Terrorclaw!!"
