high castle elves

"Blessed by the moon, kind fellow traveler, are you awake yet?" In a blur, Alamir opened his eyes and saw a circle of silver hair and red eyes above his head.

What the hell!As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a bunch of drow looking at him with their heads stretched out, as if you finally woke up and the operation was successful. Alamir subconsciously glanced at his body.

Fortunately, fortunately, all the body parts are still there... Alamir let out a sigh of relief.

This action made the expressionless Evan Sally behind the crowd twitch the corners of her mouth slightly...

He took a closer look around and found that he was lying on the bed in a strange room. The stone ceiling and floor were very clean. His swords and magic pocket were on the table next to him. On the tray next to him, there was a hearty breakfast. .

Just opposite his bed, a huge statue of the goddess Eilistraee smiled sadly at him.

"Damn it!" Alamir cursed bitterly.

The moment he just saw the statue, the words that the goddess said before leaving yesterday, "Souls from other worlds, please abide by the debt between us." came to his mind again.

Obviously, this goddess who obviously played a trick on her came to collect debts again.

"Every elf who encounters divine grace will experience temporary discomfort. It seems that our Nether Moon Favorite needs a rest." Evan Sally, who was standing behind the crowd, said softly.

"Praise Elise!" Evansally made a gesture and took the lead in praising their god. After that, the drow dispersed, leaving Alamir lying half on the bed in a daze.

"You mean, I became the Favored One of the Nether Moon??" Half an hour later, he realized that he was Alamir in the room of Eilistraee Temple, eating with his back to Eilistraee's statue. During breakfast, I looked at Barbara across the table with a somewhat surprised expression.

"He conveyed the oracle in this way. The sisters were very happy and expressed that the goddess's radiance once again shined on this sad and evil land!" Barbara Greenleaf, wearing a brand new priest's robe, sat across from the wooden table and expressed her efforts. Show excitement.

In fact, if I told you that I fainted because I refused the divine choice, and even scolded your goddess for being beaten by her, would you tear me to pieces in anger?

Seeing Barbara looking at him with a fervent expression, as if he were looking at a treasure, Alamir decided to hide those words "fuck you" deep in his heart, and told him that he refused to become the opponent's divine choice. .

"Sure enough, I read it right. You feel that your character is not good enough to be chosen by God, so are you going to beg her after completing the goddess's oracle? You have indeed inherited your father's gray elf-like arrogance... I'm sorry, my brother, I misunderstood you before." Barbara suddenly apologized to Alamir.

No, what on earth were you thinking at that moment?Looking at Barbara who looked like she was worthy of being chosen by the goddess, Alamir shook his head with a headache and concentrated on the fried eggs on the plate.

Although drow are all withdrawn, evil, and watch all creatures around them with caution, the naturalized drow who believe in Eilistraee are obviously different.

“Be kind and kind, spread joy everywhere, be diligent in learning and teaching others new music, dance, and smooth swordplay.

..... Strive to promote harmonious coexistence among various races.It should help outsiders, shelter the homeless, and provide relief to those in distress.Respond to unreasonable offenses by others with kindness. However, when encountering evil that is malicious and harmful to others, you should stop the violence with violence as quickly as possible to avoid causing more harm to the target.Reach out to all dark elves in distress and let them hear the gospel of the goddess. "

Alamir had heard this section of the goddess's teachings countless times. He expressed considerable surprise that the evil and lonely drow could produce such a kind goddess than the good gods on the earth.

I don’t know where this belief comes from. This kind of teaching only accepts drow. No wonder there are so few believers!

After all, chaos has been the source of teasing since ancient times. This drow goddess with weak divine power is also from the chaos camp and is chaotic and kind.

After being together for so long, Alamir suddenly discovered that these drow had regarded kindness as a kind of "obligation" and "belief", and sometimes they were simply kind for the sake of kindness.

For example, Barbara, she once persuaded Alamir to ask the dragonborn not to treat the kobolds harshly and not to kill them at will. She also personally rescued several kobolds from the hands of the ogres who were about to be used as food.

As a result, as soon as she was rescued, those kobolds thought she was weak and could be bullied, and wanted to attack her in the dark, using her as their slave and breeding machine...

This kind of kindness was also shown in the drow of the Dathra Sisterhood. Alamir turned to look out the window. A drow killed his own sheep and handed it to the tauren as food without expression. Seeing the few sheep left in the sheepfold behind them and the tauren eating wildly, Alamir couldn't bear it.

The unbearable consequence of this was that the meat stored in the tauren's magic pockets and the pile of dry food given to them by the dragonborn were completely emptied.

And Shaxaya, who likes to collect weapons from the defeated, the weapons knocked from the hands of dragonborn and kobolds in her magic pocket were also given to them.

Seeing Alamir give the order, Barbara became happy and sang softly the new song she just learned yesterday, saying that you are indeed worthy of being the one blessed by the moon.

The world is really not right... I thought about the evil creatures in the eyes of the world who sent me equipment and food. Why did my magic pocket become dry when I arrived at the camp of the good creatures?

Alamir was puzzled.

There is no way, these kind and chaotic drow are so poor, so poor that Alamire can't stand it anymore!

Moreover, this group of "sisters" said excitedly that they must call us when the time comes to counterattack the Dark Territory, and we will definitely participate...

Thinking of these "future allies" who were so poor that they only had one sword, Alamir gritted his teeth and bled again, preparing to purchase a large number of weapons and armors when he went out.

If it weren't for the lack of time and the powerful arrows of Lismera, he would have wanted to go home and arm these drow to the teeth with magic weapons.

There is no way, the equipment in the Underdark will slowly turn into scrap metal and rags under the moonlight. Except for the long sword blessed by Eilistraee, they have almost nothing.

No wonder their teachings require you to wear less clothes, and the pastor requires you to be completely naked. It turns out that you are not naked to welcome the new life, but you are actually poor!

In this way, they spent decades building this temple of the dark maiden in the middle of the deep forest, and often volunteered to help clean up monsters around them, guide the lost travelers, provide water and food, and teach them singing, dancing and singing. What about swordsmanship!

If it weren't for their terrifying black skin and charcoal-like eyes, they would look like legendary forest fairies.

Of course, they are all painted black. As the drow come to the surface, their skin color will slowly turn white and suffer from a disease similar to drow albinism, turning into a light brown.

But in order to show their faith, the Dathra sisters will use a dye to paint themselves black and shiny, darker than the real drow. As a result, in the dark night, only their iconic silver hair and charcoal-like hair can be seen. Eyes can easily scare people to death.

Seeing the good black dye on the table and Barbara inviting him to paint it black next time and join in a celestial party with moonlight running and happy singing and dancing, Alamir decisively refused.

After finally finishing his meal and getting back his weapons and equipment, Alamir finally met the leader of the Dathra Sisterhood, the drow sword dancer master and mid-level priest, the Dark Mask Evanthalie Naqor.

"Blessed by the Nether Moon, are you willing to work with us to eliminate the evil in the Shadow Crypt?" This high-level professional said as soon as we met.

"Shadow Crypt? What the hell?" Alamir connected with Barbara's spirit and asked in his heart.

"Sorry, I was so excited about dividing things just now that I forgot to tell you..." Alamir noticed that after Barbara joined this strange sisterhood, she obviously talked more and her personality became more and more... So funny.

After expressing her apology, she told Alamir everything.

It turned out that last night, after Alamir passed out, the team of demons and monsters were released and received warm hospitality from the drow, and Barbara also told them Alamir's plan.

After hearing that they were going to find the Harpers Alliance, a prestigious justice organization, the drow immediately agreed to the plan, saying that the Harpers Alliance had actually always had a vague connection with them in the Deep Forest Valley, and said that the goddess's oracle was on a tight schedule. The task is heavy, and we will definitely help you.

In order to help the team of demons and monsters, they sent many elites to escort them out of the deep forest, and showed them a shortcut!

That's the Crypt of Shadows!

The name of the shadow crypt is actually the tomb of an elf royal family. With the destruction of the elf royal court, that kind of crypt was also abandoned and hidden deep in the dense forest in the northeast of the deep forest.

However, 120 years ago, a fugitive mage from the Necromancy School came to the deep forest. The evil man occupied the Shadow Crypt, enslaved many undead creatures, and had some conflicts with the Dathra Sisterhood.

Just 80 years ago was the last time the Harper Alliance and this group of female drow from the deep forest joined forces. They jointly annihilated the wizards in the Shadow Crypt, purged the evil there, and a great battle broke out.

The evil Necromancer was able to escape for many years after being hunted by the Harpers, and was very powerful in his own right. Both the Harpers and the Drows sacrificed a lot in this battle to eliminate this mage and build the tower on the The underground mage tower was destroyed and sealed.

But as time passed, the seal left by the Harper wizards failed. The dark magic inside escaped, and the monsters in the crypt also ran out. The dark magic polluted the forest that was originally full of resentment. Countless people Monsters are entrenched there, making it a dangerous place.

The most powerful monster among them is the dormant pseudo monster!

The group of dormant pseudo-monsters that the drow elves strangled last night lived there - they spent a lot of effort to drive away the creatures around the shadow crypt, so this group of dormant pseudo-monsters had to expand their hunting range. , finally eliminated them in one fell swoop yesterday, and glory goes to the great dark girl!

And Ivan Sally, who participated in the cleanup 80 years ago, is very sure that there is a teleportation array leading to the outside of the deep forest, which was set up by the Harpers Alliance. Through that teleportation array, you can directly teleport to the Harpers Alliance outside. A secret stronghold!

Now, the biggest monster dormant pseudo-monster has been eliminated, plus the teleportation array inside, so the drow feel that if the demon team goes to the shadow crypt with them, they can quickly find the Harper Alliance and bring the Harper Alliance to the Their tokens found help in fulfilling the oracles of the great goddess.

Everything is an arrangement of fate, all glory belongs to the dark girl!In the end, Barbara, who was getting more and more amused, left these words in Alamire's heart.

"Are you sure that the dormant pseudo-monsters inside have been completely eliminated?" After being silent for a long time, Alamir, who finally figured out the situation, asked Evan Sally opposite.

He now finally understood why this forest was so evil, and where the creeping claws they encountered along the way came from!

"Most of the dormant pseudo-monsters have been eliminated. The largest one was dedicated to the goddess last night. Even if there are any, they are just sporadic cubs. Trolls and trolls dare not approach the shadow crypt full of negative energy. , we just need to pay attention to the remaining mechanisms inside."

Evansally looked at the young elf with admiration and realized that he was not complacent about becoming the favored one of Nether Moon, nor did he look down upon the abandoned shadow crypt.

"As expected of the Nether Moon's Favored One, if he can become our Lord's priest, then if there is a man in the sisterhood, the sisterhood will also grow stronger. Is this the true meaning of the goddess's oracle?" Silver looked at the gray elf. Evan Sally, who had gray hair and an expressionless face, was thinking in her mind.

"And I just remember the route inside and the location of the teleportation array!" Evan Sally remained expressionless, exuding the aura and confidence of a strong man: "I will take my sisters with you!"

"Yin? Shadow? Well, this crypt is destined for me." After thinking about it carefully, I realized that if there was one more high-level professional escort in the team, my next journey would be guaranteed, even if the teleportation array could not be used. , and he can use his identity as the Blessed One of the Nether Moon to ask her to escort him to the edge of the deep forest. Armed with the Nine Yin Manual and the Spiral Nine Shadows, Alamir feels that he can do it.

Maybe there is an excellent training ground for the Nine Yin White Bone Claws. Thinking that he was about to enter the second level of the Nine Yin White Bone Claws, Alamir's heart became hot.

"I agree!" Alamir raised his head and looked at the dark female elf who was half a head taller than him.

"All glory goes to the dark girl." The other party nodded, stood up and said the next sentence expressionlessly, "I'll make some preparations and set off tonight!"

"It's so cold. Is this the nature of drow?" The other party's almost cold response made Alamir feel that the fanatical scene last night was more like collective hysteria.

He wonders how he would feel if he knew that the other party was carefully planning to lure him into the church and make him a reproductive machine for the Dathra Sisters to multiply and expand.

He was really right, and he was really going to fight back... Thinking of the tomb of the ancient elven royal family, Alamir felt more and more that there was something wrong with the whole incident.

Candles, shovels, ropes, and yes, black donkey hooves! !With an attitude of preferring to believe it or not, Alamir muttered to himself, and went out to find the tauren who was having fun with Milch.

"Black Horn...if you cut off your hoof, how long will it take for it to grow back?" Alamir, who felt dizzy looking at Sukka Black Horn's black hooves, asked confusedly. What a sentence!

"Great and ruthless master, is there not enough food? I'm going to hunt now!!!" The tauren begged with fear that my meat was actually not delicious, and looked at the thoughtful Alamire shivering. .

"Ah??? Go, go!" Alamir was also amused by his own thoughts, and watched the tauren rushing into the nearby forest with an axe. Alamir smiled narrowly.

Will my camp really shift? Stroking Milsi the ugly eagle's newly healed wings, Alamir only felt that he was moving more and more towards the chaotic camp.
