high castle elves

Chapter 13 The elf who comes to collect debts

The meeting began at night. Obviously, the drow elf had not yet adapted to the burning of the "big fireball" on the surface. A little bit of sunlight leaking in would make her feel painful.

When the moon rose, Alamir, who had finished his "work" for the day, met his half-sister.

Obviously his "sister" is also a little reserved and uneasy, and she is also a little uncomfortable with life on the surface. It can be seen from the position she chooses to sit in the lower left corner of the long table - that position can see all the entrances and exits of the hall. If a conflict occurs, there is the fastest response and escape position.

She was afraid, afraid of a new life and a new world. Looking at her silent expression and those eyes that were like charcoal fire, Alamir understood the wariness in her heart.

Just like when he came into this world.

At this time, there were only two of them, or two elves, in the hall on the first floor, because the other three-headed demons were well hidden outside the door, waiting to rush out as soon as possible.

It is said that drow elves have a strange beauty, but looking at the black-skinned, white-haired, red-eyed elf opposite, Alamir did not feel the slightest bit of beauty. Instead, he felt strange and unable to appreciate it.

And perhaps due to malnutrition, Alamir, who had good eyesight, even saw some split ends in her hair.

Girls should take good care of themselves and use some Rejoice.As soon as this strange thought appeared, Alamir shook his head.

What am I thinking about...

Who knew that his head-shaking action made the female drow subconsciously on guard. At this time, her muscles were slightly tense, as if she was ready to escape or take action at any time.

This is because he has been persecuted a lot since he was a child... Alamir discovered the drow's uneasiness.He still knew a little bit about the Drow clan, his "mortal enemy" and "distant relative". The creatures from that matrilineal clan and the pathologically deformed slave society were probably not all problem children.

So he tried his best to smile, trying to express his harmlessness...

But seeing his smile, Barbara Greenleaf opposite her became even more nervous, because her past experience told her that once an elf smiled at her, she would be greeted with terrible torture.

But she quickly realized that this was not the Underdark, and seemed a little embarrassed for her overreaction. She still tried her best to smile.

It's okay not to smile. Zhuoer's facial muscles were barely stretched, revealing a pair of bright white teeth. That mechanical smile that was uglier than crying made the whole scene even more embarrassing.

"Presumably with her status and living in a dark place, she must have never smiled."

"As a gray elf, he must be a little afraid of the drow sisters who suddenly came to the door."

For a moment, the two of them had different thoughts. They both felt that they should speak first to ease the atmosphere.

"Hello..." they both said in unison.

After realizing this, the two became even more embarrassed.

"You first-" Alamir smiled and signaled.

The smile on Barbara's face became even uglier, but she calmed down and spoke slowly in extremely poor Elvish with a strange accent.

"Have you heard of the Dark Maiden?"

"???" Alamir suddenly became alert.

Here comes, here comes, a relative who is out of reach suddenly appears. As soon as he comes up, he asks have you heard of XXX?Then Balabala will tell you how popular this "magical" product is and how high the return on investment is...

Next, will you tell me that you have a great "2050" plan, and you want to recruit yourself to join the team for the sake of your relatives? And say that you are already Sapphire level, and you still have a few offline to be promoted to Ruby level. Regional agent?

It is said that drow are born with cunning and evil blood, and it seems that they are well-deserved! !

MLM is a big curse. After harming relatives and friends, you don’t say a word. You come with nothing to gain. I’m afraid it’s not the way of the northern sect.

Alamir looked at her and decided to give her a legal education class so that she could be educated. The alarm bells were ringing!

"I escaped from the Underdark this time because the goddess has an oracle for you..." Seeing her "brother" suddenly become alert, Barbara was even more at a loss, so She quickly revealed the biggest purpose of her trip.

Here it comes, here it is - the goddess asked me to bring you a message?Can you deceive me with this crappy trick? ?I'm afraid you don't know that I don't believe in any gods. The next sentence is about asking me to pay.

Hearing this, Alamir was ready to call someone, but Barbara's next words made him move decisively!

"The Oracle of the Dark Maiden is as follows, distant visitor, please help my believers in Ned City to get rid of evil, and our debts will be canceled." Barbara made a strange gesture, and then said the above with reverence and piety. Discourse.

You also said that you are not a pyramid scheme! !Tell me how many tens of millions you spent in another place, right? ? ?

In an instant, the space was like broken water, Shaksaya and Bynatrian appeared on Barbara's left and right, and their cold sword blades and kitchen knives were already placed on her neck.

Bang - the wooden door of the hall was smashed, and the tauren Black Horn rushed in with his Hellcat Slayer, looking like a loyal protector, ready to tear apart the danger in the hall at any time!

Very good, very good. If you didn't see Barbara drooling, it would be more like that. Looking at the wooden door smashed by the minotaur and the bloody giant ax that was taller than him, Alas Mill thinks this guy is just greedy.

"Master?" The six-armed snake demon spoke softly, with a weird hissing sound, as if he was waiting for his order to cut the drow into pieces, peel the skin and cramps, and turn the soul into delicious soul prisms. .

Facing several malicious "demons" and the blades that were so close at hand, Barbara's expression returned to normal and she shouted a word to Alamire.

"On the next full moon day, all the truth will be revealed!"

Very good, very good. Is this your true face? The nervousness you had before was all just an act. I finally caught you. Looking at Barbara, who looked calm and even looked at death, Alamir chuckled. out.

A young level [-] drow dared to cheat. I didn't expect that there were many demons here who had lived for who knows how many years. I didn't expect that I already had a lot of knowledge about preventing fraud.

"The Dark Maiden is coming back soon... We need your help!" This sentence was shouted by the other party in Drow Elf language, mixed with many words from Common Language and Underground Dwarf Language.

Alamir still had some difficulty listening, but fortunately there was a devil beside him to translate for him.

A girl...let's just call her a girl. If she is really her "sister" by blood, she has only just reached adulthood. Your routine is too old... ....

It’s simply not good at studying! !I have seen this trick of Qin Shihuang returning to make money a long time ago. If you want to trick me, you are far from good enough.I am a man who has never been fooled by telecommunications fraud.Alamir didn't know where he felt a subtle sense of pride.

So he narrowed his eyes and thought about how to deal with his sister.

The best way is to kill her, but after all, she is her "sister" by blood, so she should be killed for unknown reasons.Slavery? ? ?It's outrageous. If other elves see him associating with such evil people, it will be even harder for him to clear his identity.

Forget it...just close it for now.Alamir made up his mind.

He also knew about Eilistraee, the good god born from the drow elf. Counting the days, there were still seven or eight days until the next full moon. What if it was true?Even if not, let her understand clearly and hand her over to the people of the same clan at the foot of the mountain. There are so many big bosses and elders there, and they must be more familiar with dealing with defected drow than she is.

Alamir then ordered her to be placed under house arrest, nominally giving her an "adaptation period to life on the surface" - she was locked in a mill on the underground floor of the castle, with only one window to vent her air, where she could hide from the daylight. , the moonlight can also shine in from the window at night, so that she can pray to Eilistraee.

If she is truly a follower of Eilistraee.

"Since you want to prove it, then wait a few more days and prove it to me. Then the truth will be revealed." Alamir said a few words and asked his servant to take her down.

Finally, he ordered her to treat her like his "sister" in addition to not letting her go out.

No, maybe the demons and devils treated his brothers and sisters differently than he thought. He didn't remember until Alamir went upstairs to make tea, so he quickly called several demons over for questioning.

Ten minutes later, looking at the drow being tortured to the point of dying, and looking at the demons with innocent expressions like "Treat them like family members as the master said", Alamir once again launched the punishment in the slave contract. , with the three-headed demon howling in pain, asking them to heal her.

As a result, there was no demonic healing spell, and Alamir had to consider the chances that his shallow knowledge of herbal medicine could cure her rather than kill her.

Unexpectedly, his actions gave his sister a deeper understanding of his "evil".

In the Underdark, treatment does not mean the kindness of the other party, but the beginning of the next round of more terrifying torture. Seeing several demons wailing and sending words such as ruthless terror crazily, Barbara Greenleaf couldn't help but Get up in prayer.

"Great Dark Maiden, is the savior in your oracle really this gray elf who is more like a drow than me?" For a moment, Barbara felt that her faith was shaken.

Something even more incredible happened to her. The dark girl actually answered her prayer——

The moonlight shining in from the vents turned blue, and a sense of sadness and compassion lingered in the entire space. The flesh of the demons illuminated by the moonlight began to burn. The moonlight shone on her body, and the hidden wounds and external injuries on her body healed instantly. , and a more holy power surged in her body.

This power was huge and gentle, making her chant His holy name involuntarily.

"Praise to the great Eilistraee!" As she praised, a sad and gentle hymn seemed to be ringing in her ears.

The song was so melodious and deep, as if a pure girl was lamenting the unfortunate fate of her own race. Bathed in the hymn, Barbara Greenleaf Dutmi felt refreshed and full of strength!

Her priest level has been raised again!

What Barbara Greenleaf Dutmi didn't tell Alamir was that just last night during her prayer to the Dark Maiden, she successfully inaugurated him as his pastor.

As a result, in just two days, she was promoted to two levels in a row and became a level 2 priest of the Dark Maiden.

This made her belief in the dark girl stronger, and she became more and more certain that her brother might have been with these demons and devils for a long time, so he looked a little evil, but he was still kind in nature.

Just like the evil underground she grew up in.

So she looked at him with tenderness and compassion in her eyes, as if she were being watched by the Dark Maiden.

What surprised her was that her "brother" seemed to be more cared for by Eilistraee. Seeing the strong aura of divine power on Alamir, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

Could it be that this is true? ? ?The blue moonlight came and went as quickly as it came. Alamir stood stunned on the spot, looking at the demons on the ground that were about to be burned into pieces of rotten flesh. Feeling their pain and weakness, Alamir panicked a little.

Because just surrounded by the moonlight, Alamir did not receive any improvement or cleansing, but only heard an extremely distant and intermittent voice.

This voice was extremely weak, as if someone had spent a lot of effort to transmit it to him.Although Alamir heard it intermittently, he could hear one of the words clearly.

"Pay off the debt!!"

At this time, Alamir looked at the waning moon hanging high in the sky outside the vent, and couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

This sister may really come to collect debts...

When did I owe a debt to a god? ! !
