Volume 5: Taming the Beast Chapter 9: The Lair of the Dark Elves (Part 1)
Since the beginning of recorded history, the Gem Flower Plain has been the territory inhabited by the elves. Here, these elegant and noble creatures embrace the beautiful scenery and lush vegetation, and bathe in the generous and loving grace of the goddess of nature, Nachnia.
Unlike humans, the elves are not gathered together in the form of a centralized monarchy. Instead, they organize a loose and democratic confederation of states with city-states as the basic units. The leader of each city-state is called a "singer", and the supreme leader of this alliance is called the "Great Singer", who is elected by vote from the numerous singers in each city-state.
The title of "Great Chanter" cannot be inherited, nor is it a lifetime appointment. Instead, elections are held after each term. However, for us, this election system usually does not have any impact: you know, each term of the elven Great Chanter is 200 years. For those long-lived races, this is just a short time that passes by in the blink of an eye. But for us humans, 200 years is enough time for a country to go through several cycles from establishment to destruction, establishment and destruction.
The current great elf chanter is also the chanter of Moonbrook City. His name is Zobul Isinbravinia Red Flame. He is a legendary one-eyed elf warrior who uses a pair of sharp swords as weapons. It is said that he married a human female pirate when he was young, and he also worked as a pirate for a period of time. Unlike the closed and arrogant habits of the elves at that time, the Red Flame Chanter likes to mingle in human society, interact with all kinds of humans, and learn the experience and advantages of what the elves consider to be "lower races". It can be said that his appearance changed the tradition of the elf society, causing the elves to gradually abandon their excessive arrogance and integrate into the big family of all intelligent races on the Farvi continent.
In the war against the Legion of Doom more than two hundred years ago, the Red Flame Singer called on most elves to join forces with other races to fight the enemy, and made an indelible and great contribution to the fight against Darendil the Heartbreaker and his notorious minions. He himself became a legendary hero on the Falvi continent and was elected as the Grand Singer of all the elven city-states on the Gem Flower Plain. Now, he stood in the Singer's Hall in the southwest of Moonbrook City, accepting audiences from all over the continent.
However, even among such a noble and proud race as the elves, there are still many corrupted ones who are afraid of death and power. When the Legion of the End Times was at its most powerful , many elven city-states succumbed to the fear of invaders, betrayed their compatriots and homeland, and fell to the enemy without integrity, becoming accomplices of Darendil, the "Heartbreaker".
Infected by the magic of the last king, these rebellious traitors lost their original appearance and turned into dark elves with dark skin. Although their handsome faces, agile skills and natural magic sensitivity have not changed much, due to the influence of evil magic, their abilities will be improved in the dark, but will be weakened in the sun.
These fallen elves were scattered all over the Gem Flower Plains, and were not completely wiped out by the power of the Devouring Gate. Now, they have built many strongholds on the plains, hoping that their evil monarch will come back one day, give them powerful protection, and bring them the power and strength they have longed for.
In a cave on the Red Mountain , there is a dark elf's nest, which is also the target of our trip: this group of dark fallen people tamed the magical beast guarding the Silver Star River - the vortex giant crocodile A. Stan, which was originally a spiritual beast raised by the elves of Yuexi City to guard the waterway from the Silver Star River to Yuexi City. The hunter trainer of Yuexi City asked Yan Zhen to find a way to tame this huge and powerful magical beast again and bring it back to the city - this is also a necessary condition for her to change her job to become a beast trainer.
Looking up from the intersection at the foot of Red Mountain, there are some wooden arrow towers along the way, and on each tower stands a "Red Mountain Sniper", who are archers among the dark elves. In addition to these arrow towers, there are also some dark elf guards gathered on the mountain road, among which the warrior profession "Red Mountain Penetrator" is the most, and there are also some dark priests who believe in evil gods "Red Mountain Rescuers" and warlocks with servants "Red Mountain Summoners".
These dark elves are all slender, with long, pointed ears. The men are tall and handsome, and the women are young and black skin and the magical emblems that occasionally appear on their cheeks, symbolizing their allegiance to the king of the last days, they are almost indistinguishable from their fair relatives.
As soon as we set foot on the mountain road, we were spotted by the Red Mountain Sniper on the arrow tower at the intersection. A crossbow arrow flew in from the air and hit Feiyin in the lower abdomen. This arrow came unexpectedly, and Feiyin didn't have time to open her frost shield, and was hit by it, losing nearly 50 points of life.
Following the attack of the Red Mountain Sniper, a "Red Mountain Penetrator" and a "Red Mountain Summoner" under the arrow tower discovered us at the same time and immediately attacked us. The Penetrator's weapon was a spear, with both hands raised horizontally, and he began to charge at a speed of 15 steps away from us, stabbing at the chest of the wild geese formation, with such a fierce momentum that it seemed as if he wanted to pierce me in one fell swoop.
The Hongshan summoner immediately raised his hands, and a dark and sharp black shadow immediately attacked Feiyin. Then he made a gesture and commanded his servant to pounce on the wild geese formation. His servant was a tall and burly, ugly, pale yellow eyed, and single-horned Haketu demon. This was a tall and powerful demon from another world. I guess it would not be a pleasant thing to be hit on the head by the huge chain hammer in his hand.
At this time, Feiyin had cast magic to create a frost shield around her body. A layer of cold ice-blue magic protective film covered her body. The power of the shadow arrow shot on it was immediately greatly absorbed, and only reduced her life by 23 points. At the same time, the ice magician quickly retaliated, and a smallest ice arrow shot out from her fingertips and hit the Red Mountain Summoner, knocking off 10 points of his life without any pain. Then Feiyin stretched out her hand and pointed forward: "Jeff, help me kill him!"
Please, even if magic potions cost money, you don't have to be so stingy with your magic power during a fight! As soon as we started fighting, I felt that my status was immediately reduced to the same level as the servant. I thought angrily in my heart and couldn't help but give Feiyin a blank look.
