The dark elves who came under the direct order of World Tree Fasnas are not only not weak, but also have a certain status in the tribe of underground dark elves. Strength and power make them invincible, not to mention the discrimination against short-lived species.
But when their lives depended only on the enemy's thoughts, they didn't know how to deal with it.
I wanted to take action at first, but I was a step too late and the survivors were afraid. Others who had not even reacted were immediately stunned. The pieces of blood and flesh on the ground couldn't look original at all. No one could imagine that just one breath ago, these were three living people.
The leading dark elf said in a trembling voice: "You actually... you actually killed our people. Do you... do you know... what exactly have you gotten into!"
"Is it important?" Lin raised his head slightly and looked coldly at the dark elf who stuttered slightly. "Actually, I want to know more, does your Majesty really care?"
The leading dark elf was speechless. The reason why the tribe can maintain its prestige with the outside world depends on the unity and cooperation of the people of the tribe, just like the Wood Elf tribe on the surface forming the Turtle Dove Alliance. The World Tree will not take action, and it is impossible for them to take action. They have no legs and can chase their prey all over the world. Unless there is really such a stupid prey, stupidly running into the territory of World Tree to hunt.
But when World Tree conveys orders to the tribes that rely on him, he only cares about the results, not the process, or how much the tribe has lost as a result. In other words, no matter how much the loss is, the order passed down must be completed. If it can't be done, then the tribe has no meaning in existence.
It was this attitude that when Fasnas conveyed his intention to invite the magician to meet with him in person, the underground dark elf tribe immediately sent out an envoy. In their opinion, the World Tree Fasnas is so prestigious that as long as there is a messenger to convey his will, there will be no magician who will not eagerly obey the instructions and come.
But the first messenger, the youngest druid Melshu in the tribe, failed and returned empty-handed.
The conditions she mentioned were all excuses, and the demands she made were signs of incompetence. If Mai Ershan hadn't recognized the magician's face, she wouldn't have been dispatched the second time. What was waiting for her was the water prison under the tree roots.
In the second round, the small team sent by the Dark Elf tribe was headed by a druid elder and included more than a dozen high-ranking members of the tribe from the legal and warrior systems, and sneaked into the holy city of Estali on the surface.
Although they are a dark elf tribe belonging to the World Tree Fasnas, and they do not deal with the high leaders of the Turtle Dove Alliance, it does not mean that they do not know how to use the alliance's resources. Anyway, the Ikaruga Alliance recruits low-level members and does not require detailed background checks or loyalty to a certain high-ranking person.
They have ways to conceal their identities and use the resources of the alliance as ordinary members. Of course, they also have due obligations. Acting and lurking are the dark elves' special skills.
After finding the target person, a group of people went out, of course not to escort that person back to Fasnas' territory. All the dark elves, with the exception of Melson, aim to use force to make people submit!
They first sent assassin-type dark elves to sneak into the target's home to investigate. The original intention was just to conduct preliminary investigation.
Assassins who enter uninhabited territory usually cannot help but be tempted when they see their target is defenseless, and make a prompt decision to turn investigation into action. While the target is sleeping, cut off its limbs and return to the tribe with the remaining parts. Anyway, His Majesty only wanted them to take this magician back, and he didn't say that they had to take him back 'entirely'.
Then he was cut into small pieces by the white destructive light, and resurrection spells were ineffective. He became the black dragon Augustus' late-night snack, and of course he failed to repay the elder druid who led the team. This happened several times, when the team they brought out lost most of their manpower for no apparent reason, and they did not know the target situation, the dark elves finally stopped.
During this process, Melson always insisted on peaceful discussions and polite invitations. When facing that magician, as long as you show enough sincerity and find out the interests that the other person cares about, you may not be able to change the other person's mind. This can be regarded as someone who is quite familiar with someone's character before making such a suggestion.
It's just that this kind of weak behavior is despised by all dark elves. In the outlook on life where I am the boss of World Tree, the existence of short-lived species, no matter how powerful they are trained, is still no match for their long-lived species. Not to mention that the people who came out to perform the mission this time were all the best in the tribe.
But despite the constant sacrifices, they still stopped their meaningless exploration and waited for the opportunity that they didn't know would come up. In their eyes, the catastrophe befell by the gods was an opportunity, an opportunity to return home in good faith. Anyway, the targets were killed by the gods, and the failure of the mission cannot be blamed on them. What a wonderful way to end.
But no matter how good the plan is, someone can't help but cause trouble. Maier, who was on everyone's guard at the beginning and then ignored, stole the leaf of the world tree that they used to communicate with His Majesty Fasnas. He was also the member of this small team and the most powerful in their hands. Big trump card.
The dark elf who stole the leaves of the World Tree took the leaves and threw himself into the semi-virtual spirit that seemed to be about to explode, summoning the projection of His Majesty Fasnas. In the end, the magician survived the catastrophe and even forged a godhead for a time, preparing to light the divine fire. But he failed.
He was left behind in the human world and became the mission target of the dark elves again. This time, Mai Ershan, who was seriously injured and taken in by the other party, became an opportunity for the two parties to meet.
The dark elf who had met originally planned to find a reason to take down the other party in one fell swoop. Especially now that the most troublesome Lich has left temporarily, this is an extremely good opportunity. But I didn't expect that every one of them who dared to make trouble would be killed in an instant. The most important thing is, although everyone understands how those who died died, they fail to understand.
When the target person in front of them was not at their mercy, the dark elves, who had always been arrogant and domineering, didn't know how to face it for a moment. Especially those dark elves who took out weapons, the things in their hands were as embarrassing as they were.
In particular, the remaining dark elves have also figured out something, why His Majesty's instruction from the beginning was just an "invitation". It seems that they are not optimistic about the strength of the dark elves, even though the people who accepted the order ignored those cowardly words.
Moreover, even if the dark elves are quite united and cooperative, they want to take revenge on the enemy who killed their people. After returning, he might not get any praise, but be beaten to death by a branch of the World Tree. So they gave in, not because of the man's cruelty, but because of the attitude that their own boss might have.
Seeing that the leading druid elder was not helping, and the magician across from him looked restless, Mayer knew that he was getting impatient. Now I'm just thinking of an excuse to leave.
But since the magician promised to meet with His Majesty Fasnas, how could Maier not come forward and ask clearly. You must know that taking the leaves of the World Tree and throwing them into the shadow of the outer god was an edict from His Majesty. No one else got the instructions but she did. Although this was an honor, it was also a pressure, so she had to come forward and asked:
"Sir Tripwood, you have agreed to meet with His Majesty Fasnas. I wonder when you are going to set off?"
"I haven't decided yet. Let me ask first, how long will it take you to get there from the Holy City?" Lin asked.
"The entrance to the underground world is outside the southwest border of the Gowana Empire. To cross the Jura Mountains again, there is a secret entrance and exit between the canyons. Although it is not suitable for large armies to enter and exit, a small number of elite people can Enter and exit from here. After entering the underground world, it will take about three weeks of walking to reach His Majesty Fasnas' territory. It will take about three to four months. This is the shortest distance back to the tribe. ." Mai Ershan said truthfully.
Lin shook his head and said, "It takes too much time. I won't let you go." Seeing that Maier was about to speak excitedly, Lin stopped him with his hand. Then he turned his hand over and took out a ring. Said: "Take this ring and go back to your tribe."
I received a ring out of nowhere. Although he could feel that this was a very powerful magic equipment, Melson was still puzzled and guessed: "Your Excellency, can this convey the message you want to say to His Majesty Fasnas?"
"No." Lin raised his right hand, pointed to the other ring on his index finger and said, "These two rings are a set. No matter where you go, I can sense you through this ring on my hand. Go to your location. As long as there is a clear location, I can use flash to teleport to you. So you just need to take that ring, go back to your tribe, and use the forum to notify me when you arrive, I can go there at any time , meet with Fasnas. Doing this will save me the time wasted on the journey, after all, I have a lot of things to do on my hands now."
Maier had traveled with this man for some time, and of course she knew how amazing his elusive magic was. So when Lin said this, she believed it. In fact, it doesn't matter if she doesn't believe it, she has no ability to force this man. If there was a way to coerce the other party, we would have invited this 'distinguished guest' back last time, so why wait until this time?
Just because Maiershan can accept it, it doesn't mean that other dark elves can also accept it. The stubborn one couldn't help but say: "You can teleport if you want. In the realm of World Tree, all space teleportation magic cannot be completed without His Majesty's consent."
Lin could tell which dark elf was quick to talk. But it’s just talk, there’s nothing wrong with it. He was just curious and asked with a smile: "So, His Majesty who invited me to meet will not allow me to use teleportation magic to see Him. Instead, I must use two legs to walk step by step to see Him as a sign of My sincerity."
Although many dark elves wanted to say yes, they intuitively felt that saying this word would easily cause complications, so they simply said nothing. If possible, they wanted to leave now, leaving this magician who clearly looked like he was about to die.
