Necromancer: A New Era

In the distant city of hope, night slowly falls. The lights come on, and the tavern sign flashes warmly in the night, like a beacon, attracting all kinds of travelers.

The atmosphere in the tavern was warm and noisy. Adventurers from different races gathered together, their laughter, conversations, and clinking of glasses intertwined into a cheerful symphony. Medusa's eyes flashed mysteriously under the lights, the dark elves dressed in tight leather armor moved swiftly among the crowd, the gray dwarves sat together, loudly discussing their recent adventures, and the human adventurers gathered together to share their experiences.

In the center of the tavern, a bard was playing and singing a moving ballad. His voice was sometimes high-pitched and passionate, sometimes low and gentle, telling heroic and legendary stories. Whenever he sang a wonderful part, cheers and applause would break out in the tavern.

However, in this hustle and bustle, there is a corner that seems particularly quiet. Chakar sits there alone, holding a wine glass in his hand, his eyes deep and distant, as if he is thinking about something. His clothes seem a little shabby, but you can still see the former refinement and nobility. His eyes reveal a deep longing and worry.

The little dark elf girl beside him noticed Chakar's strangeness. She came over curiously, blinking her big eyes and asked, "Brother Chakar, why are you unhappy? The story just now was so interesting."

Chakar was brought back to reality by the little girl's voice. He was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Haha, of course I'm happy, I just thought of my parents." However, there was a hint of loneliness that could not be concealed in his laughter.

The bard just sang about that thrilling battle - Lord Tang Yue used his necromancy to single-handedly annihilate thousands of orc warriors. That battle was a memory that Chakar would never forget. Whenever he heard this story, an indescribable feeling of pride and respect would surge in his heart. But along with it came his deep longing and worry for Lord Tang Yue.

Several months have passed, and there is no news from Lord Tang Yue, and his life or death is unknown. The companions who once fought side by side have now left the City of Hope and embarked on their own journeys. Lina, the beautiful and brave woman, and the little skeleton who always followed her, what happened to them now?

Chakar's heart was filled with nostalgia for the past and confusion about the future. He drank the beer in the cup in one gulp, as if he wanted to use alcohol to numb his restless heart, but his longing surged like a tide and he could not suppress it.

The hustle and bustle of the pub seemed to have nothing to do with him. He was immersed in his own world, recalling every bit of his experience with his companions. Those moments of laughter, life and death, were deeply engraved in his heart like a brand.

Seeing that Chakar was silent, the little girl stopped bothering him and ran back to his friends. The noise in the tavern once again overwhelmed Chakar's thoughts, but he seemed to be in another world, with only endless thoughts about the past and his friends in his heart.

After several days of long waiting, the Elf King finally arrived. His figure shuttled lightly among the trees, as if he had merged with this ancient forest. When he saw Tang Yue and others waiting, a barely perceptible light flashed in his eyes, but he did not hesitate, but spoke lightly.

"Sir, the elders of our tribe have finished their discussion." The voice of the Elf King echoed in the air, carrying an inexplicable meaning, "I have brought the Ten Thousand Years of Life Crystal here."

As he finished speaking, a huge dark green crystal appeared in his hand. The crystal shone with dazzling light, and a rich breath of life lingered around it like mist, giving people an inexplicable sense of comfort.

A hint of joy flashed in Tang Yue's eyes. This crystal of life was exactly the key thing he needed to revive Ariel. Now, half of the conditions for reviving Ariel had been met! He immediately took out the seed of the ancient tree of life and handed it to the Elf King, with a hint of gratitude in his tone: "I'm sorry for offending you that day. I hope you can forgive us. We were too anxious."

The Elf King took the seed, and a strange look flashed in his eyes. He looked at Tang Yue deeply, and then said, "You are too polite. I was also negligent that day. Thank you for showing mercy!"

Although the Elf King was polite on the surface, Tang Yue sensed something unusual in his words. He looked at the Elf King's departing back thoughtfully, and an inexplicable sense of alertness surged in his heart.

The Dark Dragon came close to Tang Yue and whispered, "My Lord, I feel that there is something wrong with this Elf King. His attitude changed so quickly. I'm afraid there is something fishy going on."

Tang Yue nodded and said calmly: "Yes, I felt it too. But the Crystal of Life is already in hand, and the remaining demigod-level elves will be left to fate. Our top priority now is to leave this place as soon as possible."

Tifaniah also interrupted at this time and said, "Master, I have met the Elf King many times and have some understanding of him. He is a little narrow-minded and vindictive. I think he must be thinking about how to get revenge later."

Tang Yue glanced at Tiffany, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. This woman from the Sun Elf clan was indeed very smart. He turned to the Dark Dragon and asked, "Do you have a way to get us out of this?"

The Dark Dragon smiled confidently: "My Lord, although I have lost my physical body and my strength has been greatly reduced, I still do not take this small Elf King's Court seriously. As long as you give the order, I can take you away from this place at any time."

Seeing the confident momentum of the Dark Dragon, Tiffany was shocked. How arrogant! The natural elves, who were countless times more powerful than her Sun Elves, were so lightly regarded by the Dark Dragon. She could not help but re-examine this existence that she had once ignored.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the depths of the Elf King's Court. Tang Yue and the others immediately looked in that direction alertly, only to see a group of elven warriors approaching them rapidly. Their eyes were full of hostility, and it was obvious that they were not here with good intentions.

"It seems that we have been discovered." Tang Yue said lightly, but there was no panic on his face, "Minglong, prepare to leave."

Minglong responded, and in a flash he came to Tang Yue's side. He stretched out his palm, and a powerful energy wave burst out instantly. The next moment, the figures of Tang Yue and others disappeared on the spot.

When the elf warriors arrived at the scene, no one was there. They looked at each other in amazement and confusion. Who could have disappeared without a trace right before their eyes?

At this time, Tang Yue and others were already far away from the Elf King's Court. The Dark Dragon led them through the forest, as if swimming freely in the water. Tiffany looked at the back of the Dark Dragon, and a sense of inexplicable awe surged in her heart. This existence that she once despised has now become the key to their safe escape.

"Master, where are we going now?" The voice of Minglong sounded in Tang Yue's ears.

Tang Yue pondered for a moment and said, "Let's find a safe place to stay first. After we settle down, we can make a long-term plan."

Under the guidance of the Dark Dragon, they soon found a hidden cave. The cave was surrounded by dense trees and vines. If you didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to find that there was a cave hidden here. After Tang Yue and others entered the cave, the Dark Dragon set up a hidden barrier outside to ensure their safety.

After settling down, Tang Yue took out the huge crystal of life. Looking at the crystal in his hand shining with dark green light, his heart was full of expectations. As long as he had this crystal of life, he could revive Ariel! Thinking of this, a ray of determination flashed in his eyes. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, he would step forward without hesitation, just to realize the wish in his heart.

At this time, a conspiracy against Tang Yue and others was quietly brewing in the Elf King's court. The Elf King sat on the throne, his eyes flashing with a cold light. He had communicated with the elders, and they had mastered all the information about Tang Yue, including the experience of the Sun Elves. Although they didn't know the subsequent results, Tang Yue's appearance here must have meant that the Sun Elves had compromised. However, the strength of their natural elves was not comparable to that of the Sun Elves.

Can Tang Yue come and go as he pleases?

However, when he was leading several demigod-level warriors to take action, Tang Yue and others actually escaped right under his nose!

The next moment, the Elf King took out a special crystal. He had already left a mark on the Crystal of Life. Even if it was put into the space ring, it could guide him!
