Dark Redemption of Elf

"What's wrong, brother?" Ariel looked at Ayton in confusion.

"Master, don't worry about that undead, she is pretending to be pitiful."

"I didn't. I have regained consciousness. Please, help me."

Ayton woke up and said to Ariel, "Oh, I'm fine."

"Mei'er, what happened?" Ayton slowed down and used his consciousness to communicate with Mei'er.

"It's okay, Master. This undead is very cunning. Meier will be able to absorb her soul power soon. By then, Meier's strength will be even higher."

"No, I still have things to finish. I, I still need to find my brother." The female undead screamed loudly in Ayton's mind, her voice full of pleading.

What happened and who should I believe? Ayton was very conflicted in his heart. Logically speaking, he should believe in Meier who had been with him for a longer time, but his intuition told Ayton not to trust this little succubus easily.

As the screams of the undead became smaller and smaller, Ayton finally couldn't help shouting: "Mei'er, stop it first, I have something to ask her."

"Master, I can absorb her right away," Meier said pitifully.

"Stop first"

"....Yes Master"

The female undead finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, I really have regained my consciousness. It was the necromancer who had been controlling me before."

Ayton saw the female undead calm down: "You said you regained consciousness, but do you still remember how you died?"

"I, I...ah!" There was a hint of confusion on the undead's pale face, and then he let out a sharp scream, and his expression suddenly twisted, becoming very ferocious and resentful.

"Ah" Ayton couldn't help but withdraw from the Orb of Deception, and instinctively covered his ears. Her scream just now was really scary, especially when it came directly to her mind.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Ariel worriedly supported Ayton. Now even a fool can see that there is something wrong with Ayton.

"Brother, how about I help you treat him?" Iluli leaned over and asked worriedly.

"No, I'm fine." Ayton motioned to Ariel to let go and tried to calm down. On the street, he couldn't attract too much attention to his group.

"Master, let me absorb her."

"No, wait a minute, she must have remembered something." Ayton's consciousness re-entered the Dark Holy Orb and looked at the undead huddled in the corner: "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

The undead shook his head and looked at Ayton with dull eyes. At this time, Ayton discovered that when the undead calmed down, his face was quite handsome, about 25 years old, but his face had the unique paleness of the undead, which made people pity.

"What happened before you died? Were you captured by the necromancer?"

The undead shook his head and said nothing.

"Then who is your brother?"

Still no response...

Ayton sighed. It seemed that she had remembered it, but she just didn't want to say it out loud: "You should have a good rest here first."

"Ah! Master" Mei'er looked at Ayton pitifully, the devil's pointed tail wagging back and forth behind her.

"Let her stay here first, and wait for her to recover. She will be here to chat with you, so that you won't be bored." After Ayton finished speaking, Meier's consciousness exited the Dark Holy Pearl before Meier could reply.

"Did something happen to that orb?" Ariel whispered in Ayton's ear.

"Yeah, but it's okay now," Ayton comforted, and at the same time motioned her to go back to the room and tell her again. Now the secrets about them cannot be known to Lan Keke and Ravel behind them.

......

At the same time, in the Marquis's Mansion.

"What, the mission failed?" Fnovich Ford, the Marquis of Thorns, sat on the noble chair and looked at Madiffen coldly.

"Yes, sir, that undead dragon is more powerful than we imagined."

"Humph, wearing a military-style armor-piercing crossbow and a heavy magic-resistant shield, 13 people were killed, 4 were seriously injured, and 3 were slightly injured." Fnovic finished speaking coldly and closed his eyes: "But this also proves that the group People do have strength, and the establishment of the Kingdom of Thorns also has more hope."

"What happened to the mercenary you brought back? What did he say?"

Madiffen's body couldn't help but trembled. "He said... someone saw us fighting in the dark."

"That means someone discovered our armor-piercing crossbow." The Marquis looked cold.

"Yes"

"Are the identities of that group clear?"

"A human water magician in blue, a forest elf, and two humans, all very young. They seem to have come to the Forest of Despair for the undead dragon, your bounty. Fortunately, they don't know our identities."

"Adventurer, hehe, do you know that the special envoy of the Imperial City, Claire, is in my house. I am sure that he discovered something. Now he is just waiting for evidence. Once he knows the news about the armor-piercing crossbow, he will definitely point the finger. Point to me"

Madiffen felt his teeth chattering: "Sir..."

"Say"

"The mercenary also said that the little girl may be a member of the royal family, and they are indeed willing to tell the official the news, but they don't know that we are private soldiers belonging to that noble."

"What!" Fnovic stood up and said sternly.

"Because that girl said, 'We are a royal family', and the other three didn't deny it."

"The water magician in blue is very young." Fnovic thought, and suddenly his face lit up. "Could it be the little princess who sneaked out?"

Madiffen also suddenly remembered that the little princess who caused the emperor's anger was said to be the most talented magician in the Yaolan Kingdom.

"Haha, I understand" Fnovic said with relief: "Since they are here for the undead dragon, they must"

"But, sir, since they are on our side, why do we have to test their strength?" The death of his companion made Ma Difen couldn't help but say.

Fnovic glanced coldly at Madiffen, who instantly realized that he shouldn't have asked.

"For the sake of your many years of service to me, let's forget it this time."

"Yes, sir." Madiffen broke out in a cold sweat. Ever since he followed the adult back to the Land of Thorns, he felt that the adult seemed to have become a little more indifferent.

"First of all," Fnovic suddenly said: "They said they have a large number of magicians who can help us, but we only saw a few of their black-robed magicians, who used a method to break the defensive barrier set up by the forest elves. .”

"And the Imperial City seems to have discovered clues about how we secretly killed people in the royal family 20 years ago. It's been 20 years since this happened. Someone must have secretly revealed it to the emperor."

"Think about it, how did that group of people come by such a coincidence?"

Madiffen hesitated for a moment: "Sir, you mean...those dark magicians revealed the news to Emperor Winston and forced me to rebel."

"It's very possible." There was a hint of hatred in Fnovic's calm eyes: "They also mentioned my sister."

"Sister?" Ma Difen was stunned for a moment, then remembered that the Marquis assassinated him 20 years ago because his family was killed by that royal noble. He also participated in that action, so he talked about it with him now. .

"Now we have no way out. Those mages probably also have the information about our hidden armor-piercing crossbows. As long as they reveal it to the special envoy, we will definitely be purged."

Madiffen took a deep breath and said, "Sir, what should we do now?"

"Under house arrest, Claire and his party will be temporarily stabilized and imprisoned if necessary. The second wave of envoys will be killed directly to show their wholehearted cooperation to those magicians. I remember they call themselves the Curse Sect, right?"

"Also, that little Princess Yaolan, she is an important bargaining chip." Fnovic sneered twice: "There is a forest elf beside them. Now that the elf slave incident is making a fuss, they must want to rescue the remaining Compatriots, I remember there was an elf at our auction, and they will definitely rescue her then."

"I understand," Ma Difen bowed slightly and said, "What should I do with that mercenary?"

"Mercenary, huh, you still want to take revenge. Send him to the arena to fend for himself," Fnovic said coldly.

Dong Dong, there was a knock on the door, and an attendant stood outside the door: "Sir, I have something to report."

"Enter"

The attendant respectfully handed the envelope in his hand to Funovich. He glanced at it with a satisfied smile on his face: "Sure enough, the bounty was taken away, and among them was a magician in blue."

......

At the Marquis of Thorns Mansion, Claire was drinking tea, a specialty of the Land of Thorns, in the courtyard. She looked leisurely, but in her mind she was thinking about what she should do.

After leaving the Luoxia Mountains, he sent a few of his cronies back to report to the emperor that the Marquis of Funovich was the mastermind behind the incident and that he had discovered the little princess.

In order to avoid the suspicion of the Marquis, he still came to Thorn City without mentioning anything about the thieves. If this matter went well, he would definitely be promoted to a higher rank when he returned, and he would also gain a good impression in front of the little princess. Although this was equivalent to running into a tiger's den, behind him was the entire Yaolan Kingdom. He didn't believe that Fnovic would dare to kill him so blatantly. He probably just wanted to make money by selling slaves and make a fortune. It's just that what he did was irrational.

When the two sides fought, they rarely killed nobles. If they were captured, they would pay ransom to save their lives.

Claire had also guessed that the disappearance of the two envoys was secretly carried out by Fnovovich, but she would not stupidly go to the countryside to give him a chance.

The only thing he couldn't figure out was why Fnovic did what he did. He had heard about the Marquis's achievements, and he didn't look like someone who took risks for money. Moreover, with his reputation in the Land of Thorns, he could definitely become a local emperor here.

In a daze, he suddenly thought about the fact that in recent years, due to the continuous improvement of the local economy, Emperor Winston has continued to suppress the nobles in remote areas. Claire's heart gradually became suspended, but... Where can the land of thorns have the confidence to compete with the entire country? kingdom.

"What do you want to do? This is the place where the special envoys of the imperial capital live." Guard Captain Bader's voice sounded outside the door.

"I know, we are here to protect you under the order of the Marquis."

"As long as we protect you here, there is no danger in this big city."

"We are also acting under orders, please forgive me," the guards said coldly, with a tone that could not be refused.

"Asshole, you are under house arrest. Do you want to rebel? We are people sent by the imperial capital."

"It is precisely because the Imperial Capital sent us that we must protect your safety."

"You..." Bard wanted to argue, but Claire stopped him: "You can just stay here and say hello to the Marquis for me."

Suddenly he remembered that if the man behind the elves' trade was really Funovich, he must have had the help of a mysterious person to get the strength to break through the elves' barrier. And with strength, his ambition would become bigger.

No, the little princess is here too. She is in danger! Claire's mood gradually sank.
