Just being a dark elf in Warhammer

Chapter 502 353. Day and Night (Transition Chapter)

Normally, after finishing their shift, the Morblack Guards would come to the Final Word Inn to have a few drinks before going back to rest, but today the time had already passed. Rebecca Flats sat at the bar and yawned out of boredom. The hall on the first floor was empty. While she was thinking, a group of elves she had never seen filed in. At first she thought she was confused or... She was dazzled until the leader of the elf looked around for a moment and then ran toward her carrying a green weapon that made her nervous.

As the boss lady who sealed the deal, Rebecca enthusiastically served the elves who came unexpectedly. The reason why she was so eager was because the elves gave them too much. There was a hint of caution in her eagerness, and she felt uncomfortable in front of the elves. She didn't even dare to look into the elves' eyes, which made her feel fearful and panicked, as if these fairies-like elves were gods walking among humans. Same. She kept taking out the roasted lamb legs, boiled beef, salted fish and vegetable soup from the back kitchen and placed them in front of the elves.

Darkus put his left hand on the table and his chin at the same time. He held a spoon in his right hand and put the soup into his mouth. He felt that the taste of this store was pretty good. He couldn't tell what the specific name of this thick soup was. It was probably potato soup. It also had celery, carrots, and onions. In addition to vegetables, it also had pork and beef. There were even more ingredients. At least he had sour cream, Bay, caraway, marjoram, nutmeg, all in all it tastes very good, a bit like eating a stew in a big pot.

Thoughts kept circulating in Darkus' mind. He was very sure that it was Manfred, Manfred von Carstein, from Manfred's erroneous answer. , Manfred may also be from Nehekhara? But these are not important anymore. What is important is that he is a little curious about why Manfred appeared in Altdorf at this time, and the brass ring...

When Manfred first debuted, he was in Altdorf. He told the High Priest of Sigmar about Vlad's weakness in Altdorf by pretending to be a ghost. Then the High Priest of Sigmar met an uninvited... Thinking about this, Spoon Stopping in front of Darkus' mouth, Felix... Felix Mine was the legendary thief who sneaked into the vampire army camp and stole Vlad's resurrection ring.

"How is our Mr. Felix?" After thinking about this, Darkus turned his head and looked at Colonia, who was sitting diagonally opposite.

"He should have returned to his residence by now, right?" Colonia took another bite after finishing speaking. After finishing the meal, he started talking about what happened in the alley just now.

"It's right... but it's not right." After hearing this, Darkus sighed and put the soup in the spoon into his mouth.

It is now the year 2028 in the imperial calendar, the era of the Three Emperors of the empire, and it is also the time of the first vampire war. Vlad’s army is active in the northeast of the empire, that is, around the Talabek Territory bordering Sylvania. , at least that's the case now.

When Darkus was in Lauren Loren, he had never heard the news about Vlad’s undead army attacking Middenheim, the important city in the north of the empire. The grand leader of the White Wolf Knights, Jerrick Krueger, was still alive and well. Yes, Renn met him once in Enil's stronghold, but he did not become Jericho von Carstein. By the time Vlad besieged Altdorf, it would be the fall and winter of 2051 in the imperial calendar. Then He would have returned to Naggaroth long ago.

"Brass ring." In Darkus's knowledge, it had never appeared before. There was no major event caused or caused by the brass ring. He thought of a possibility, just like Aldall's two schools. Something happened in the academy because of his arrival. The brass ring was probably the one who released the news, which led Manfred to come to Altdorf in advance and contact Felix. As a result...Manfred turned into ashes and Felix's hand was disabled. I can no longer engage in theft.

The good news is that Felix survived. Darkus gave him a ruby, and the real estate and other properties in the southern city were enough for him to have enough food and clothing for the next life. As for stealing Vlad's resurrection ring, it became a legend The thieves are definitely out of business.

Everything seemed to be broken by the arrival of Darkus. He remembered that after Vlad besieged Altdorf, the high priest of Altdorf prayed to Sigma. However, Sigma did not respond to the high priest, probably because the high priest was not bald enough. Shining, but fortunately Manfred, who is also bald, responded to the high priest. Manfred, hiding in the shadows, told the high priest about Vlad's weaknesses. Later, the high priest met Felix who came uninvited. After some talk, such as pardoning Felix's previous crimes, etc., Felix finally agreed to steal the resurrection ring.

But Darkus remembered that the result was not friendly. The high priest died together in the duel with Vlad. When Felix went to settle the debt, the Sigma believers did not believe that the canonized high priest would fight with a thief. trade. Felix was so angry that while holding the resurrection ring, he also took away one of the nine volumes of Nagash from the Sigma Church. Then Felix met Manfred, and finally von Carstein Because the resurrection ring and one of the nine books of Nagash fell into Manfred's hands, fortunately Felix did not take the Book of the Netherworld away, otherwise Manfred would be full of money.

Felix's story is over here, but in a way it's not over either. Dealing with things like vampires and tomb kings is doomed to unrest after death. Five hundred years after his death, he was dug up by the necromancers who had been loyal to Vlad and tried to resurrect Vlad, in order to obtain the truth five hundred years ago. He even met Mr. Felix, who had the same name as him, but had a different surname. His surname was Mine, and that man's surname was Jaeger. And Felix Jaeger is different from him. He is not a pickpocket and a liar, but a warrior and scholar. He also has a dwarf butcher companion named Gotrek Gurneson.

If Darkus remembered correctly, the bones of Mr. Felix Mine were in the melee between the three parties... Fortunately, he appeared and prevented Felix's bad luck.

Although Felix's story ended, Manfred's story had just begun. After the death of Vlad and his wife, Manfred did not return to Sylvania to inherit the position of head of the family. Vlad Manfred is not the only heir. Darkus, who had found this place, bit his spoon. He was suddenly stunned. According to the way a vampire gives a first embrace... Then isn't Isabella Vlad's daughter? There's nothing wrong with that. The expression on his face turned into that of an old man on the subway looking at his phone at the moment he thought about it. This was so abstract.

After Vlad's death, Konrad inherited the position of head of the von Carstein family. In the process, Manfred did not participate in the internal struggle of Konrad's rise. Manfred plays a similar role to Vlad's failure in Conrad's defeat, while avoiding Conrad's brutal rule by staying distant.

Like other necromancers seeking the secrets of death, during this period, Manfred ran to the Southland and learned the knowledge of necromancy. Wander around the tombs of Nehekhara and the ruins of the Old Ones of Lahmia, searching for the meaning of inanimate life and learning all there is to know about the origins of vampires, through papyri left behind by funerary cults and pyramid walls The murals on it learn the customs of ancient Nehekhara.

After thinking about this, Darkos thought again about Manfred's irrelevant words just now. Maybe Manfred was not from Nehekhara, and he should have known Vlad when he was squatting in Kislev. Otherwise, Manfred, as a Nehekhara, would not have to do this. This would be a bit of a fart with his pants off.

This process is very important to Manfred, just like Alyssa followed Dacus after graduating from the Tower of Destruction, and gained various valuable experiences, experiences, and opportunities. If she could do it again now The Isthmus of Lustria is definitely not as miserable as before. Manfred not only learned various knowledge, he also met Nagash. In a way, Nagash was his mentor, and in the process he and Nagash made a deal that changed the course of history.

With a deeper understanding of the dark arts, Manfred is more powerful than ever. After Conrad's rule ended, he also ended his studies and returned to Sylvania and Duncanhof Castle. He became the third head of the von Carstein family. He eliminated his competitors. Mixing the ashes of his opponents with cursed steel, he forged himself a pair of armor and obtained the Sword of Profanity.

There are two theories about the Sword of Blasphemy. Manfred obtained it from the Zhar dwarves while traveling through the old world. He persuaded the Zhar dwarves to forge a sword of his own for him. From then on, he I always carry this sword with me. Another theory is that he obtained the sword in the ruins of Dragonstone, the castle of Drakfels.

No matter where the blasphemous sword came from, Darkus did not get any trophies after killing Manfred just now, not to mention the resurrection ring and books related to necromancy, not even armor and weapons. . That long sword was just an ordinary magic sword. When Manfred turned into gray, he left the long sword to the Maul Black Guards as a token or evidence. After all, After such a big thing happened, the Mor Black Guards had to write a report, and the piece of clothing that seemed magical but was actually nothing more than that was burned to ashes. It can only be said that the time chosen was really good. Manfred had just left the Novice Village, or had not even left the Novice Village at all, so he met his big boss under the guidance of some medium.

No matter what Manfred's personality is, there is one thing that Darkus admires very much, and that is: he loves to learn! In the course of his rule over Sylvania, Manfred built an impressive library, although it was dwarfed by the knowledge he held in his mind. But Manfred still considered himself a student and continued to greedily devour any knowledge and experience he could get. Manfred is smart enough to know where he can learn, and to admit that he is neither omnipotent nor invulnerable. Manfred doesn't expect his vampire powers to be enough to save him, nor does he fully trust a magical artifact like the Von Carstein Ring.

Manfred was as careful as Vlad to hide his true nature. During his rule of Sylvania, he often changed his identity and traveled around the world. He was always polite to the people he met during his journey. , arrogant and arrogant, showing the attitude expected of a nobleman from a powerful family. When he found allies for himself, he launched the third vampire war.

In the end, Mannfred was defeated and his army was wiped out at the Battle of Hellmarsh. According to legend, he was killed by Elector Martin of Stirland with a Runefang, but this was not the case.

In the year 2503 of the Imperial Calendar, Manfred was resurrected. The simple summary is that an exiled necromancer attempted to resurrect Manfred as revenge for being exiled, and while he was preparing for the ritual, he was killed by a group of hunters. Among them were Felix and Gotrek, but they did not dispose of the Necromancer's body or burn it, but left it lying there.

What a coincidence that Manfred was buried under the Necromancer's body. His blood seeped into the ground and touched Manfred under the roots of the tree. He had never slept with a woman before, and was a standard old virgin. In the end, his blood was considered a virgin... so the ceremony was successful in a certain sense!

If Felix and Gotrek had done more, maybe history would have been changed, although that's a bit of hindsight, but who knows.

In Utterbad, the capital of Stirland, a group of necromancers who were preparing to resurrect Vlad met Manfred. In the end, Felix and Gotrek also participated, and the ceremony to resurrect Vlad was disrupted by them. , in the process all the necromancers loyal to Vlad died, and the bones of Felix Mine were shattered on the ground. There is no doubt that at the last moment Manfred fell into the Stir River. .

The resurrected Manfred learned much about what had happened in his absence, and he realized that the alliance formed by humans, elves, and dwarves was so powerful that it defeated him in the Battle of Hellmarsh and was powerful enough to repel the armies of Chaos. . He will not make the same mistake, he intends to create a gap between these races and break the bond of trust between these three races.

Then time came to the end, and Manfred went to Nagashza again. Under the guidance of Nagash, he gained new gains in the secret room. He knew that Nagash was manipulating him, But he did not believe that Nagash could dominate him, and his arrogance did not doubt that he was following the path Nagash had prepared for him. He tried every means to resurrect Nagash. He captured the "Heartless" High Priest Walkerma who attacked Sylvania, the leader of the Church of Sigmar, the leading religious leader in the empire, and through Athel Lorendaicha With his cooperation, he captured Morgiana, the lake goddess of Bretonnia.

The important thing is on the aspect of the elves. After the end of time began, Phoenix King Finubar and the Dwarf High King Thorgrim the Grudgebearer started negotiations. After consultation, Assur sent the future twelfth generation Eternal Queen Alishara, who is also the daughter of Finubar and Alarielle, but it was not... actually Tyrion and Alarielle. daughter.

After Alishara disappeared after her visit to Karazha-a-Karaq, the nobles in Assur's court resounded with calls for war, but Finubar refused. He discussed it with Alarielle, who was certain that Alishara was still alive, but was hidden beyond Alarielle's perception.

In order to save Alishara, Ulthuan sent a rare lineup in a century. Under the leadership of Tyrion, the champion of the Eternal Queen, the Supreme Mage Teclis and the "Ruthless" Eltharion of the Kingdom of Erion , Adira of the Kingdom of Tyrolok, Estrana of the Avalon Sisters, the previous Supreme Mage Belannar, etc. all joined in. Finally, Teclis broke through the fog of magic and found Alishara. exact location.

Under the leadership of Tyrion, the elves fought all the way into Nagashzar. Finally, they found Alishara, who was pale and asleep due to a spell deep in the dungeon. Their escape was very smooth. But eventually they met Manfred waiting there.

Because Alishara's disappearance happened in the dwarf realm, Thorgrin believed that the dwarves were responsible for it, so he decided to send troops to Nagashza. When the dwarf army arrived, the elven army was already surrounded by Manfred's army. Although the dwarf army helped the elven army to rescue the siege, in the process, Manfred broke through the elven defenses and kidnapped Alishara.

Tyrion, who lost his beloved daughter, not only did not thank Thor Green for his help, but instead cursed Thor Green, accusing Thor Green of not protecting Alishara. As the High King of the dwarves, Thorgrim tolerated Tyrion's actions. He knew that if the conflict was rekindled, it would be another Longbeard War. He maintained restraint, but in the end the elves and dwarves broke up again, and Man Fred's plan succeeded. Thorgrim led the army north to support Belegar in the Eight Peaks Mountains, while the elven army continued to search for Alishara.

Finally, the elven army returned to Ulthuan. By this time, Ulthuan was in a state of ruin. Teclis stopped Tyrion who was planning a second expedition.

Eltharion knew that Ulthuan could not do without Tyrion at this time, and eventually he replaced Tyrion to take on the task of saving Alishara again. A Wind Raider army headed by him, Adira, and Belannar, and composed of Astari Sentinels, Dusk Knights, and Esotamahal Oathbreakers, went to the old world. Later, Eltharion and Belannar died under the joint attack of Manfred and Arkhan, and Adira became a vampire.

At the last moment, Manfred, imprisoned in Athel Loren, arrived at Middenheim. He carefully sneaked between the flickering lights in the room, and various thoughts were at war in his heart. He told himself that the Dark Gods were tempting him, but in fact he could no longer distinguish between his damaged pride and the vicious temptations of the Chaos Gods. When he served Nagash, he received no reward, only humiliation that hit his soul again and again.

Just when his thoughts kept wandering, Manfred walked out of the shadows, and the sword of blasphemy pierced the back of Baelshazer Gelt, and pierced Baershazer's heart and sternum. The power of this sword lifted Baiershaze into the air. Baiershaze was already dead at that moment. With Baiershaze's death, there was also the hope of closing the rift in the ancient saint's creation. The incarnation of Eight Winds finally The struggle failed because of his move.

After Baershazer's death, the Qianmen dominated by him got out of control. Teclis on the side couldn't bear that all his efforts were being wiped out. He tried to take over the wind of Qianmen, but he failed. The surging ability destroyed his body, and he was blown to pieces by the wind of magic. His death announced the failure of the efforts of other incarnations. With a scream that ripped apart eardrums and a flash of black light, the rift was out of control.

Manfred had no idea what was happening, and darkness enveloped him, disrupting his sanity, the last gift left to him by the Chaos Gods he chose to serve. He was like a lonely boat in the storm, stumbling along, blabbering and cursing in a voice that only he could hear.

Tyrion, who got up from the ground, could not suppress the anger in his heart. He was not familiar with Baelshazer, but the death of Tigris was unbearable for him, even if it was the last thing he could do in this world. , he must also take revenge. Then he jumped forward and pounced on Manfred. Finally, Manfred was stabbed to death by the Sun Sword.

At the end, Tyrion, Alarielle and Malekith watched the rift expand. The story of the Middle Ages began with Aenarion, and the story of the Middle Ages also ended with the witness of Aenarion's three bloodlines. of.

According to a certain theory, all of this must be blamed on Vlad, who created Manfred. If Vlad didn't do this, there wouldn't be so many bad things. In addition, before the final battle in Middenheim, Vlad left Manfred in Athel Loren. In Vlad's words: You may be the safest kid among us. When the burning flames in the distance engulf us all, you will be safe in this cage. This is my last gift to you. Rest, my child, it is all over for you.

I know you, kid. I understand what kind of monster lurks deep in your heart. We must lock you here so that you cannot use these secrets to harm others and benefit yourself. Only in this way can we have a glimmer of hope in future wars.

As a result, Manfred still appeared in Middenheim... and as a result, Manfred appeared in the Age of Sigmar again and became the Lord of the Tomb of the Souls of the Night Legion, but Vlad disappeared. Damn it, this is one of the reasons why Darkus hates the Age of Sigmar. He hates staying with this group of jackals, tigers and leopards, let alone staring at each other in the Pantheon.

Darkus will save Luther Haken's life. Even if Luther rises from the coffin on the seabed one day, he will not be afraid, because Luther's upper limit is just like that, and he will just fight again, unless the ancient man Saint completely took over Luther's body. But Manfred was different. In his opinion, Manfred really wanted to do some cleverness and intrigues whenever he had the opportunity. Without great wisdom, he was just clever. He was talented but could not achieve much. A typical example of a person who fails in many things and would rather get less than the most. There is no credibility at all.

But Darkus was not happy about knocking Manfred to ashes. He found that the timeline seemed to be disturbed by him. From a certain perspective, maybe killing Manfred was not a good thing. , because Manfred is like a beacon in the darkness and can be spotted at a glance. But after Manfred disappears, there may be other beings to replace Manfred. He has already deeply experienced the power of Tzeentch. In other words, under relatively stable conditions, Tzeentch is the strongest among the Chaos Gods. , this is simply impossible to guard against.

"Hello, I am Tillman Ste, the high priest of the Temple of Aldolf Mor."

While Darkus was eating and thinking, an uninvited human appeared in front of him. After he put down the spoon, he raised his head and looked at High Priest Mor. He was human, male, middle-aged, bald, looking haggard, and depressed.

"Good morning, do you want something to eat?" Darkus did not get up, but when he said this, he winked at Maranur, who was sitting opposite him.

On the other side, in the forest house in the northern part of Altdorf, Belloda and Asanok were sitting in the hall on the first floor. The surroundings were unusually bright. They created the light in the folded space, and the green slates In front of them, they were discussing calmly.

"I never thought that one day I would learn Quish this way." Belloda raised her hand as she spoke, Quish wrapped around her fingertips.

Asanok nodded in response. Unlike Athel Loren, Lauren Loren did not have a learning system for advanced magic, nor did he learn it when he was in Ulthuan. Just when he was about to say something, there was a knock on the main door of Forest House.

In a second, Belloda and Asanok picked up the staff and sword beside them and stood up in a defensive posture. Although the existence outside the door was well hidden, they still discovered that Asanok could It felt like that being's control over the Urku Wind was not inferior to his.

Genevieve sat on the top of the forest house, swinging her legs, leaning her hands on her sides and looking down. She did not go to the Isle of Death. The moment the elf stepped onto the bridge, Darkus asked her to come back. She also knew that the Isle of Death was Mor's territory and she was not welcome there. She looked at it and suddenly frowned. She found that one of the visitors seemed to have been seen and discussed with her before. She knew what these existences were in a very far away place, in the bitter cold land of Nagarund. , and I know why it appears here.

Just as Genevieve was about to jump down to greet the guests, she suddenly looked up at the sky. She found that the sky, which was still daytime before, was darkening in a strange way.
