Just being a dark elf in Warhammer

"This...this..." William III muttered infatuatedly. Although he got Dacus's affirmation, he still couldn't believe it. This was too far away for him, and he suddenly let it go. Now he has returned to a distant past, so far away that he has almost no concept of time.

Darkus glanced at William III and then looked at Asanok. In his opinion, it was better to say some things personally.

"The past four thousand years ago is not worth mentioning." After seeing Darkus's eyes, Asanok's old, resolute and tattooed face showed a smile. He knew what Darkus meant. , he responded flatly.

"Four thousand? Four thousand years..." Even though William III was the High Priest of Sigmar and had the highest status among humans, what happened four thousand years ago was still unbelievable to him. He turned his head and looked at the elf next to him with a surprised expression. He couldn't believe that the elf standing next to him had actually lived for four thousand years.

In William III's understanding, four thousand years was beyond the scope of what he could imagine. For a human being, four thousand years represents an extremely long history, enough to witness the rise and fall of countless dynasties, the rise and vicissitudes of civilizations.

It was only over two thousand years from the appearance of Sigma to the establishment of the empire. William III knew something before, and when he entertained those elves last time, he heard some things from the mouths of those elves, but he did not have a clear idea at the time. Concept, and now that he knew this concept, he realized that these elves had experienced such a long time and witnessed the changes in history, which made him feel a sense of incomparable awe and insignificance.

"The lady on your right is also a high-level spellcaster. Aslay from Athel Loren on the other side of the Gray Mountains. Ms. River, I think you should know that place. My friend, don't use that surprised look. Looking at her, she is... very young." Darkus continued to introduce.

Liv didn't speak, only nodded politely, but the owl Otto on her shoulder made a cooing sound. After hearing Otto's cry, she no longer looked at William III, but turned her head and looked at Otto with some annoyance. Others present may not understand what Otto is saying, but she does, and she is annoyed by Otto's behavior because Otto told her age.

"The person behind you is also a high-level spellcaster, Ms. Alyssa Takaia. She... comes from Nagaroth, which is what you humans call the Dark Elf."

"I...I...should I nod or shake my head, or say something else?" After hearing the word Dark Elf, William III was not shocked or directly drew his weapon. He had already realized something when he communicated with Dacus before, especially the monster on the wall and what Dacus and Vlad said, as well as everything that happened in the cell before, made him more sure , now just to reveal the answer, he spread his hands and asked in confusion.

His body knows it. Under the treatment of these high-level spellcasters, William III's lungs were not only cured, but his body also returned to the state of his youth. He didn't think the dark elves would do anything to him, because No need. Just like the elves had no need to intervene in the Battle of Altdorf, in his opinion, these powerful beings were completely outside the rules between humans and vampires.

"That one is also a high-level spellcaster, my cousin, Ms. Kelio Colonia Herban. She is also from Nagaroth, a Druchi, a dark elf in the mouth of humans."

Is it pretentious? A little bit, not a little bit either. From Darkus' point of view, he was just being polite and introducing himself so that William III could have a clear understanding. Seeing that William III was still in a state of confusion, he first shook his head, and then cast a spell on the high-level The researchers nodded.

"Just like you humans have the Empire, Cathay, Bretonnia and the southern city-states, as well as Nehekhara and Arabi in the south, we elves also have many... branches, yes, branches, in my opinion It's just a branch, not a country, but... I've appeared. Maybe this situation won't last for long? My friend, don't be stunned. There isn't much time left. Let's use this last moment to talk. , let’s say our final goodbyes.” After the high-level spellcasters left, Darkus, who was leaning against the wall, said to William III.

"Are you leaving today?" After a moment, William III, who recovered from the shock and confusion, asked with a somewhat regretful tone.

"Tomorrow." Darkus gave an accurate answer.

"Would you like some more mulled wine?"

"Forget it, maybe you should learn from Nehekhara in the south. Although it is very ancient, the technology there for preserving corpses is very advanced. The technology is so good that thousands of years later, the corpses buried in the tombs can be Stand up again, but they're not like the zombies and skeletons you've seen before, they're fundamentally different from what the vampires summoned, and... Altdorf is too wet."

"Then let's stay here and say our final goodbyes..." William III nodded. He knew what Darkus was saying. Then he took a step back, stretched out his hand to make an invitation, and pointed to the room next to him while saying.

"This is why I don't want to make friends with humans. Human life is too short. Maybe... when I come to this land again, I have to go to the grave to see you." Sitting opposite me With the complex look in William III's eyes, he sighed heavily and said in a heavy tone. After finishing speaking, he continued in a joking tone, "Unless...you also become a vampire or a lich, just like those Like the Necromancer?"

"My friend, your joke... is not funny. This... is simply too hard to imagine. A high priest of Sigmar is actually a vampire or a lich? Humans have ways of living like humans, although I am shocked by the elves. life, but I don’t covet years and time, I just want to do something in this limited time.”

William III's expression was still very serious at first. In his opinion, maybe it was as Darkus said, and Darkus would have to go to the cemetery next time he came to see him. He nodded in agreement. But after hearing what Darkus said next, his expression became stunned, and then his expression returned to seriousness again, and he spoke in a heavy tone. His words reveal a kind of determination and sincerity, just as he believes that the important thing is not to extend his life, but how to make a meaningful contribution to the world in his limited life. He believed that every life has its own unique mission and value, no matter how long it is.

Darkus shrugged and said nothing, then he reached into his arms and groped for something.

"Actually... I'm a little curious. Are you a dark elf? Then... why are there other elves around you, like you said Enil? Aslay?"

"Actually, there are more than just three Asurs, the same group of people you received before, and you have seen one of these three, the high-level spell caster who cast spells on the Triceratops combat platform that night. They Appear around me for various reasons, maybe I have a strange charm? Or...my name is Darkus? The internal situation of elves is different from humans and dwarves. We elves are in a state of division. These The story spans a very long time, and cannot be finished in a day or night, so... we will keep the story short, so it is better not to talk about it. I believe you are not interested in these stories. You are a high priest, and you are not one of the scholars at Altdorf University. "

"Hahahaha..." William III was amused by Darkus' words. After laughing for a moment, he stood up and quickly came to a cabinet. He opened the cabinet and found a bottle of wine and two He then came back and put the cup on the coffee table. He shook the wine bottle in his hand to Darkus and said, "The Kingdom of Bretonnia, the Carcassonne royal family specializes in wine. It is said that this It is the highest quality wine in Bretonnia, with only twelve bottles produced a year.

The bottle in my hand was presented as a national gift and is my treasure. But compared to this bottle of wine, I hope that the kingdom on the other side of the Gray Mountains can send some mixed war horses... Now it's time to open it! For you, my friend, for our farewell! "

"My friend, as you said, the internal situation of elves is different from humans and different from dwarves. I don't know the internal situation of elves, but I believe you! As your friend, I hereby bless you and I believe you Can you complete the reunification and accomplish the goal you want to accomplish. As a friend, I have a small request. After you complete the reunification, when you have the opportunity to come to this land again, you must come and see me once, at my grave. Tell me before you finish!" After William III finished speaking, he unscrewed the wine cork and poured the liquid in the bottle into the cup. After doing all this, he picked up one of the wine glasses and stood up. He raised the wine glass and said seriously to Darkus.

"Don't worry, I will do it." Darkus put the things he took out from his arms on the coffee table, picked up the wine glass and stood up. When he clinked glasses with William III, he said solemnly, and he made a pun. After speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

"Of course...it would be nice if your black ship could not appear on the coast of the old world." William III, who sat down again, poured the wine from the bottle into the glass again. When pouring, he took a drink Hiccup, then said in a joking tone.

"As a ruler, you also know that some things are beyond our control, just like the witch hunters of the Church of Sigmar. As far as I know, the reputation of witch hunters in the imperial society is not that good? The same is true for me. , but I believe it will change one day." Darkus leaned on the sofa, crossed his legs, hugged his knees with his hands, and looked at the wine glass on the coffee table that was filled with liquid again.

Darkus once again made a pun. After arriving in Ulthuan, he will inevitably adjust his policy. Druch's plundering ships will not appear on the coast of Elsin Alvin, but will attack human ships leaving the port. A theocratic war, the war between Marcelan and Mannann, isn't this also a change?

"Yes, there are some things that are not under our control, I admit that. But for you, I don't agree. I have seen a lot in you, and I believe you will do what you want to do and what you want to do. thing." After pouring the wine, William III looked at Darkus and said solemnly, and then raised his glass again.

"You said I'm not confident anymore." Darkus said with a smile as he drank another gulp, and then he continued, "Now, let's talk about something useful, this."

"This is?"

"The manuscript of Leonardo da Miragliano." After tapping the table with his fingertips, Darkus pushed the drawing to William III. After William III took it, he said solemnly.

"he……"

"How does that sentence go? Steel, gunpowder and faith are the foundation of the empire, and what you see now is steel. I know what you are asking and what you are doubting. I can tell you very clearly. , No! The Vampire War and the Battle of Altdorf have no actual relationship with him, but they do have a little relationship.

In fact, his death and disappearance actually had some connection with me. You should know that I did not see him at that time. I was watching the students in the school grounds. You know what happened after that. "Dakus still maintained that posture when he spoke, but he did not look at the wine glass or William III, but looked at the ceiling, as if there was something on the ceiling, such as an eye? An eye. Eagle? Or can he see further places through the ceiling, such as Isil? The Crystal Maze? That indescribable existence?

William III, who was looking through the drawings, turned his attention from the drawings to Darkus after hearing what Darkus said. He knew what happened at Stephen Franz College at that time. As a member of Altdorf's sect, he had no reason not to know. He also knew that Darkus was present at that time. Fortunately, the elves were only affected and there were no casualties. Otherwise, there would be no casualties. It was a major diplomatic accident.

After the explosion, Altdorf officials also came forward to investigate, and contacted Altdorf's imperial dwarves to carry out repair work on the collapsed city wall in the east city. However, when the investigation and repair work had just begun, the vampire's army of the dead arrived. , the Battle of Altdorf broke out, and a fatal gap appeared in the originally indestructible city defense. From the beginning of the Battle of Altdorf to today, nobles and high-level officials of the Sigma Sect have asked Rick to lead the Council to completely ban Stephen Franz Academy. They also liquidated those scholars and students, but these matters were suppressed by William III with his strong personal authority, and no conclusion has been reached until now.

"You know...the explosions at that time were continuous. As for the rest, I can't say more." Darkus said cryptically. He was not prepared to discuss this matter because he was afraid of scaring William III. , don’t end up having a heart attack after your body and lungs are cured, then that would be a bit funny.

However, William III was smarter than Darkus imagined. After hearing Darkus's words, he suddenly thought of something. His body trembled. As the excitement occurred, the drawing in his hand also It fell to the ground with a thud. (End of chapter)
