Just being a dark elf in Warhammer

The discussions continued one after another, becoming more and more intense, and the tent was filled with a tense atmosphere. The faces of the princes and princesses showed obvious doubts and uneasiness, and the name of the Takaia family evoked many unpleasant memories in their hearts.

Just as he was about to say something, Yelian was grabbed by the arm by Bel Ahor standing next to him, and he swallowed back the question that came to his lips.

After all the princes and princesses in the tent finished discussing and realized what was going on, they fell silent as if they had received some kind of signal, hint or joint effect. They closed their mouths and looked back and forth at Fenubar, Serafion and Belloda who were sitting there with eyes that were full of curiosity, confusion and annoyance.

Although the Asurs in the tent are all princes and princesses, they also have levels. Finubar is the leader of the delegation, and there is no doubt that he is the highest level. Next was Seraphion, who rushed over after getting the message. In terms of generation, he was even one generation older than Finubar. People like Elsharion, Adriana, Marlene, Fenrel, Yerlian, and Bel-Ahor are all from the younger generation.

In the face of all the gazes, Finubar maintained his original appearance from beginning to end. Between personal emotions, he did not get angry or show some male reaction because Belloda, whom he once pursued, liked others. It's like Bai Yueguang found a cripple after asking for something but not getting it. When he pursued Belloda, he had a slight liking for her, but it was more of a political necessity. Besides...he also understands Belloda's acting style. In his opinion, this is Belloda, the maverick Belloda.

In terms of politics, this matter is tantamount to an extremely bad scandal. If this scandal comes back to Ulthuan, the impact and blow to him, the Emerald Sea, Cosqui, and the White Waves family will be fatal. Thinking of this, he turned his attention to Elsharion, who was sitting at the door with a frown and a wordless expression. He could clearly feel Elsharion's questioning, disgust and suspicion.

Seraphine's brows furrowed. After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath with a complicated look on his face. There was deep thinking and conflict in his eyes. As a father, he didn't even know what to say. Questioning his daughter in front of other princes and princesses? Drawing boundaries with his daughter? Putting on some kind of political show? Should he still support his daughter? The problem is...that's the Takaia family, and that's Druch.

Belloda, who was sitting there, could clearly feel her father's condition. She reached out and patted the back of her father's hand and stood up. She picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured it for herself. The movement highlighted a freehand and natural feeling, as if the words that detonated the tent just now were not what she said at all.

"What happened? What did they do to you? Just after we landed in Elsin Alvin, we received a message from Ulthuan, saying that you...you disappeared after that." Finubar was sitting there quietly. Watching Belloda calmly pouring the wine, he asked slowly after Belloda poured it and sat down again.

"Well...wine from Itaien." Belloda ignored Fenubal's words. She raised the glass, took a sip and sighed, then drank the wine in one gulp. When she put the glass on the table , she continued, "Conspiracy? Yes, conspiracy, it is more deadly than the common palace conspiracies we often see, and there is no solution!"

"You may know that I was the character closest to the Magic Swordsman when I was in the Twilight Fortress. Typhoons often blew there. Those typhoons were blown from the chaotic wasteland of Antarctica. The typhoons were mixed with dimensional stone dust. I needed to use prayer , magic and feathers made of special ore powder to alleviate the impact of the typhoon. "Beloda had no intention of pouring a second cup. She sat there and spoke slowly, waiting for the Asurs to focus their attention behind her. She continued, "I suspect there are Druchi spies lurking in Twilight Fortress! The spies may not be in Twilight Fortress, but on Spear Key Island!"

"You mean?"

"Yes, he has a deep connection with the lizard people. This connection is deeper than you can think of now, and deeper than you can see. The Slann Demon Priest knows that we stopped the blow to Luschi Ya's typhoon, but the problem is, they don't know who it is. Even if they see me, what does it mean? They know that my name is Beloda? I am from the Bailang family and have a deep connection with you. They don't know. Even if they knew, they didn't care.

Only the Druchi spies lurking in the Twilight Fortress know who I am and my origins. Then... Darkus, he came. He led Druch and the lizardmen on pterosaurs, and harassed the Twilight Fortress. After some fun, he ran towards me who was driving away the typhoon. They were far away from me, in a state of stagnation, with no intention of helping or attacking. After I almost dispersed the typhoon, they left and flew back to the north from above Spear Island. "

At the end of Beloda's words, he spread his hands to Azul who was listening. After seeing that the Asurs were either listening or thinking, she continued.

"Perhaps you have already thought of it. When I returned to Twilight Fortress, I received a warmer welcome than before. I was placed under house arrest. The jury of officers responsible for the verdict interrogated me. Fortunately, because of my identity and past behavior I was respected by the naval officers, who did not make things difficult for me and did not put me in prison on Courtyard Island.

They asked me some questions. Did I see a group of Druchi riding pterosaurs? Ask me what happened with Druch? How do I answer? Yes, I saw it, they didn't attack me, they were just watching. That's what I answered at the time. They looked at me like you do now, making me look like a fool.

It was typhoon season at that time, and I was the only one who could do this job in the Twilight Fortress. The Slann Demon Priests didn’t know who I was, but they knew there was a typhoon. Whenever a typhoon blows, Darkus takes people from the north, either through Twilight Fortress or Spear Island, and then they look at me there. Can you feel that feeling? I felt like a monkey being watched. "

The Asurs present shook their heads after hearing what Belloda said. They thought that what Belloda said before was right, and there was no explanation for this at all. Because Druchi's behavior was not in line with the Druchi logic they knew. Under normal circumstances, a battle was bound to happen, but the battle did not happen. If they were replaced by Belloda, they would not have a good solution, and their defense would only be met with more suspicion and scrutiny.

"Perhaps you should know what happened next. Admiral Siglin has been protecting me, and she trusts me. But my matter was still reported back to Ulthuan, and the Phoenix King's Court ordered me to be escorted back to Ulthuan for acceptance. Further inquiries revealed that on the way back to Ulthuan, Druchi's fleet stopped the ship and cast a spell to create a mist on the sea. The crew and I were captured and they confiscated the ship and horses. , sent the soldiers and sailors back to Twilight Fortress, but I didn’t.”

While Finubal stared at Belloda, he listened quietly. Except for the matter between Belloda and Druch, everything else could be correct. He received a message from Ulthuan after landing in Elzin Alvin. The ship escorting Belloda was intercepted. Druch sent the crew back to the Twilight Fortress, but Belloda disappeared. Combined with Darkus' behavior today, he seemed to understand that Darkus regarded Belloda as a bridge to communicate with him, and sending back the crew was a signal of friendship.

"They come from the north? Have you stayed north of Twilight Fortress?" Finubar stopped thinking and asked a more critical question, which is also the question he is paying attention to.

"Yes."

"Can you tell me what you saw there?"

"Of course, if I remember correctly, you talked to me when I was in Lothern, and you passed by the Twilight Fortress on the way to Twilight Fortress. At that time, you also said that if we could develop that land How great would it be, how should it be..."

"Of course, I remember. I landed there. It is different from the rain forest in the north. There are endless fertile plains there." After being triggered by the memories of the past, Finubar laughed. He remembered what he looked like when he was young. The mind is filled with fantasies and desire for career. Although it was a plain and not a rain forest, he knew that it was impossible to navigate there. Unlike the Twilight Fortress at the southernmost edge, it was the core area of ​​the lizard people. The fact that the lizard people had not developed it did not mean that they had no control.

"The current place is just like what you said to me at the time. Druch was developing it, and the Slann Demon Priest pulled out the lizardman city that had sunk into the sea for Druch to use. Before I left, There are three black arks staying in that port, and as for their black plunderers... I don’t know, there are too many to count.”

Belloda's understatement was like thunder exploding in the tent. The expressions of the Asurs froze instantly, as if time stopped flowing at this moment, the air in the tent became heavy, and the tense atmosphere gradually spread.

"Drucci has control over the resources there? How is this possible?" Marlene's eyes widened in surprise, her voice filled with disbelief.

"If Druchi really controls it, they will continuously obtain supplies from there and provide them to Nagaros' war machine. This will make us face a more powerful and threatening enemy." Serafi En's face turned serious, his eyes flashed with deep worry, and his voice was low and serious. He knew what this meant. Once Druch took control of these resources, Ulthuan would face unprecedented challenges and threats.

"This is simply a disaster! We can't let them continue, we must take action!" Yelian clenched his fists angrily, with fighting rage burning in his eyes.

"But how should we deal with it? We don't even know what will happen tomorrow!" Bell-Aihor thought calmly, with a trace of worry in his eyes. After seeing his brother's violent reaction, he said helplessly.

"Take action? What action? As you have heard, Darkus has extraordinary wisdom. Druch and the lizard people called that plain the Couchen Plains, and he divided it into several The administrative area is used for raising horses, livestock, and planting. To the north of the plain is the rain forest, which is the area controlled by the lizard people. To the west is the Sotigo Ridge? Yes, it is not easy to climb over there. , there is still rain forest to the west of the ridge.

To the south is the Twilight Fortress, but...many of you have never been there. How can I say...the terrain there is very passive, with a row of outposts located on the top of the cliff, overlooking the spire of the Twilight Fortress. Only the area close to the sea can be crossed, but there is still a swamp there. Druki and the lizardmen guard the place together. The only direction that can be attacked is the vast ocean to the east, to attack the fleet? Yes, but don’t even think about logging in. "

"Why!" Yelian asked impatiently.

"No reason, you should know, Berannar, right? There is a being more powerful than Berannar, a second-generation Slann magic priest. He is sitting in the city rising from the sea. Inside the largest pyramid. By the way, the Slann Demon Priest you saw today is also a second-generation Slann Demon Priest, an extremely powerful being. The Lizard Man and the Dark Lord are holding back today. The forest spirits are all on his side. If he were the Druchi you know, you would all be dead by now!

It seems that you didn't understand what I wanted to express. I think your focus is in the wrong direction. You should ask how deep the connection between Darkus and the Lizardmen is. "Beloda glanced at Yelian, and she shook her head speechlessly. She felt that Yelian did not inherit Fenubal's character. Fenubal was not like this when he was young. Then she talked eloquently, and she was showing off at the end. one time.

"So...why does he have such a deep connection with the lizard people?" Fenubal knew Belloda, he knew Belloda's behavior and methods, and he asked this question.

"That's a good question. Actually, I don't know. He never told me or the people around him. I only know that he can talk to the Slann Demon Priests. Those powerful Slann Demon Priests are willing to listen to his words and obey him. His order. As for why, I'm sorry, I really don't know. Maybe you should ask him face to face. After all, he has told me more than once that the most important purpose of his coming to Elsin Alvin is to see you. "

"Me?" Fenubar asked, pointing to his nose.

"Yes, he values ​​you very much. This is why he did this when he was in Lustria. In Lauren Loren, we went to the Chaos Demon Realm. Before entering, he told his cousin that if If we don't make it out alive, we will kill you no matter what!" Belloda laughed at the end, as if she had told an extremely interesting joke, and then she was amused by her own joke and laughed happily! .

"This is not funny, Belloda, you went to the Chaos Demonic Realm?" As Belloda's father, Seraphine focused on the Chaos Demonic Realm. As a spellcaster, he knew the dangers involved. .

"I don't want to recall that incident, as Darkus said, it's not good to remember some things too clearly. I was injured there, a serious injury, but fortunately they didn't abandon me. Fra. Ness should be in front of Darkus, but he has been taking care of me since I was injured, and I came out alive. Oh, by the way, Franes is from the Takaia family, my lover. You saw him today, and he was the one wearing the lion's hat." Belloda sighed, a flash of painful memories in his eyes.

There was silence in the tent for a moment, and the eyes of the Asurs were full of surprise and complicated emotions. Just like Serafion, they also know the dangers of the Chaos Demon Realm. It is a place full of chaos and destruction, with almost no possibility of survival.

"You actually came back alive from the Demon Realm of Chaos, the pages of Hess's book, this is really... unbelievable." Fenrel looked at Belloda blankly, and it took him a while to react, and whispered.

"Beloda, I... I'm proud of you. You know the dangers there, and your decision is really shocking." Seraphine took a deep breath, with complicated emotions flashing in her eyes. He is deeply worried about his daughter's safety, which is why he is here, but he is also proud of Belloda's courage and strength.

"Father, I know you are worried about me, but just like Darkus said, some things must be done, and only we, we have this ability and obligation! I am lucky to be able to come back alive, and I am very grateful to Franay Si's help and care." Belloda smiled slightly, his eyes firm.

Finubar shook his head speechlessly, as if Darkus had an extremely powerful personality. Something must be done, and only we have the ability and obligation! What a great thing to say, and Darkus really did it after he said it. He could feel Belloda's favor and respect for Darkus, a feeling Belloda had never given him.

"Shh!" Belloda looked around the tent and made a silencing gesture. Then she stood up and poured herself another glass of wine. While pouring, she said slowly, "I know you have many questions to ask me. , I will tell you slowly, and you will know after I finish."

"Do you know one thing? Caledo in the maelstrom has established contact with the outside world." After taking a drink, Belloda asked. After seeing the Asurs nodding, she said, "This is the first time I know The news came on board the ship, where Darkus told me that Caledor had found him."

These words were like fire falling into dry wood, instantly igniting the atmosphere in the tent. Surprise and confusion flashed in the eyes of the Asurs. They whispered to each other, and discussions continued one after another.

"Calledo? This is impossible! How could Caledo be connected with Druch?" Fenrel frowned, his face full of confusion and distrust.

"Caldor found Daquus, a Duruchi?"

The discussion in the tent became more and more intense, and everyone was trying to understand this incredible fact. It was normal for Caldor, a figure regarded as a hero of Ulthuan, to contact Imrik, but why did he choose to contact Duruchi? There were complex emotions in their eyes, both admiration for Caldor and deep doubts about this matter.

"There must be a reason behind Caldor's connection with Duruchi that we don't know." Seraphien said after thinking for a moment.

"No matter what the reason is, Duruchi is always our enemy!" The hot-tempered Yelian clenched his fists angrily as before, with the anger of fighting burning in his eyes.

After a while, the Asur in the tent gradually quieted down, and their eyes were focused on Beloda, expecting Beloda to reveal more details and truth.

"I know your doubts. When the ship sailed to the outskirts of the Drifting Islands, the Duruchi appeared there in a swagger with the captured ships. The purpose was... Daquus wanted to see what the Maslan Temple in the Drifting Islands looked like and how big it was. With a reference, he could know how big the temple should be built in Chapeiuto. He wanted to build a landmark building in Chapeiuto, the largest Maslan Temple in the world. By the way, the city that rose from the sea is called Chapeiuto.

At that time, he gave me a very friendly suggestion. He suggested that I jump down and swim to the coast of the Kingdom of Iris. I don't know how to face the doubts when I set foot on Ulthuan. It may also be my unique personality? Anyway, I refused. When I was about to leave the Drifting Islands, I was shocked. The scope of the Migration Islands. Caledo found him that night. I had just met him not long ago, and my reaction was more intense than yours. Caledo found Duruci, how could this be possible?

But it did happen. The next day, I asked my colleagues in the White Tower of Hos, and he told me that Caledo did establish contact with the outside world. However, judging by the time, it happened in the morning, that is, Caledo found Daquus as soon as he established contact with the outside world.

As for what Caledo said to Daquus, I'm sorry, I don't know either. You should ask Caledo? "

Beloda responded to silence and silence. The impact of this incident was huge for the Asurs. They couldn't even accept this fact, but it really happened. They didn't think that Belloda appeared here at this time to make up some kind of lie that would be broken at a poke. As Belloda said, asking Caledo would know the truth of the matter.

"The ship sailed north and finally arrived at the island covered by fog. After turning around a few times, we landed. We met the natives of the island, a group of monkeys that were different from Elsin Alvin and Norsca.

Then, we went north and encountered some ruins. It felt very strange, as if... as if the ancient existence knew that Dacus would come and only Dacus could open it, so they left a lot of useful items there. As an Asur who didn't fit in the team, I was given a staff by Dacus' generosity. Here, it's this Far Sea Staff." Beloda said at the end, raised the staff in his hand, and showed it to the Asurs.

It was an ancient and exquisite staff, made of a material that flashed a light blue light. The staff was engraved with complex runes, and the runes seemed to be constantly changing in the faint light, giving people a mysterious and ancient feeling. The top of the staff is a huge shell, inlaid with a crystal clear blue gem. The gem seems to contain endless ocean power, surrounded by the powerful Egil wind, as if ready to call on the power of tides and sea breezes at any time.

The eyes of the Asurs are focused on the staff in Beloda's hand, and many spellcasters can't help but whisper in admiration.

"This staff... is really extraordinary. It has a deep connection with the ocean and the Egil wind, and seems to be able to evoke the power of tides and sea breezes." Adeanna's eyes flashed with amazement and greed. She also had a similar staff in her hand, but it was not comparable to the one in Beloda's hand.

"The Far Sea Staff... This name is really appropriate. I can feel that these strange runes can enhance the caster's control over the ocean and wind, and it is worth studying."

"What's next?" Finnubar was not interested in the staff in Beloda's hand. He was interested in the next story because he could get a lot of useful information from the story. (End of this chapter)
