There's always something wrong with the dark elf I raise

Delia continued: "I am here to cooperate with you. I know your identity and why you are here. I can ensure the safety of you and your companions and help you achieve your goals. "

Claire became more and more confused as she listened, and asked, "You are betraying the family by doing this. Can I ask why you helped me?"

Delia showed a sad expression and said: "Since being surpassed by the original sixth family, my mother has always wanted to improve the family's ranking. This time she even did not hesitate... But this matter cannot be hidden for a long time. Once discovered, You also know the consequences, and I don’t want the whole family to suffer from this.”

Claire looked at her and said slowly: "I'm sorry, I can't believe you, you are lying! Although your words sound reasonable, you don't actually have such deep feelings for your family, right?"

Delia did not deny it, but praised: "Your Excellency, your information is very well-informed."

Claire heard about the fifth family from Aloy. The mistress's talented young daughter was suddenly exiled for unknown reasons and was only given a very remote and barren piece of land in the family. It was impossible for her not to feel resentful.

But even if he knew about this, Claire was not completely sure. He was just trying to blast Delia by saying this.

He thought there would be more twists and turns, but he didn't expect Lydia to admit it so happily, which made Claire even more confused. He said: "Miss Delia, I am willing to cooperate with you, provided that you Tell me the real reason."

After chatting for so long, Claire also realized that this female dark elf deliberately blocked her here. She had already seen through his escape trick, but she did not notify other dark elf mages, nor did she ambush herself. It is enough to show that she has no ill intentions towards him and that he can cooperate with her.

As if Delia had expected this result, she made a gesture of invitation to Claire and said: "For a human race as smart and powerful as you, I never thought I could hide it from you. Please come with me. , I will tell you everything now as a sign of sincerity in cooperation.”

Before Claire found Zorgy and the others, she gave Aloy the same disguise as himself. Outsiders couldn't see Aloy's face clearly, and they couldn't even tell his race, given that his height was different from that of most humans. Soon, Delia automatically classified him as a member of the human race. She had no idea that this dark elf had "betrayed" her information. She only thought that the human mage had outstanding abilities and had some knowledge of the underground caves. Clearly.

Claire nodded. Some things are really not good for others to know, and even if Delia betrays her halfway, he still has hiding methods. Although it will cost him a lot, it is more than enough to deal with these dark elves.

"Master Mage!" Seeing Claire about to go over, everyone in Zoji's team became anxious. "Do you really believe what she says? She is a dark elf!"

It was really rude to say this in front of others. Claire looked at Delia, but luckily she didn't show any displeasure.

"I am willing to believe Miss Delia." Claire said. He simply appeased everyone. Seeing that Claire was confident, Zoji and the others did not stop her.

The two talked secretly for a while, and Claire finally knew the whole story. He couldn't comment on it. He could only say that it was a very old-fashioned love story.

Delia is the fifth daughter of the mistress and the youngest one. She has a very high talent for water magic. The mistress of the fifth family has been a water magician for generations. She is naturally valued by the mistress. Before that, this preferential treatment belonged to her second sister Doreen.

The mother's favoritism has led to the deterioration of the relationship between the two sisters. Of course, Doreen takes the initiative most of the time. She is also an excellent water magician and has the qualifications to become a mistress.

Dark elves do not value family ties (to be precise, they do not value any kind of relationship). Delia only received abundant resources from her mother. She grew up with a male dark elf named Elvis. He was a member of the Mother's Guard and was not much favored, spending a lot of time with little Delia.

What happened next was very bloody. When Delia grew up, she fell in love with Elvis, and she was not even willing to have a further relationship with her personal guards because of him. Elvis also had the same feelings. He had never experienced such a hot and pure emotion. He knew he shouldn't, but he couldn't help but fall in.

Unfortunately, the dark elf tradition does not praise love. On the contrary, if a female dark elf falls deeply in love with a man, there will be only one result waiting for her - becoming the laughing stock of the entire clan.

The mistress certainly couldn't tolerate such a thing. She ordered Delia not to see Elvis again, and rewarded Elvis to Doreen, who had always had problems with Lydia.

This played into Doreen's hands. Out of jealousy and revenge, she tortured Elvis severely and often showed off her "results" in front of Delia.

Delia couldn't bear to see her lover suffer this because of herself. In her heart, Elvis was far more important than power and status. Once, when Doreen was away, she snatched Elvis out and eloped with him. .

Of course, the result of this was doomed. They were captured. The mistress was furious and exiled Delia to a remote place in the family. She originally wanted to execute Elvis, but Elvis now belongs to Doreen, even the mistress could not touch the members of the Daughter's Guard, and Doreen deliberately kept Elvis to stimulate Delia.

After saying this, Delia's face was full of sorrow, and she knelt down directly: "Your Excellency, you are the number one magician in the human race, and you are the only one who can help us now. I have only one request, and that is to let Elvis return. Come to me, I am willing to do anything for this! I can sign a contract with you to ensure that what I tell is the truth, as long as you can arrange for us to live in Pittsburgh afterwards."

Pittsburgh is the dark elf city closest to the surface in the underground caves. It is also the largest trading city between humans and dark elves. The humans have considerable power there. The dark elves cannot cover the sky with one hand and need to follow some laws of the humans.

After the Dark Elves were defeated two thousand years ago, not only did they lose the land outside the underground caves, but some cities near the surface were also forced to open to trade. Surface creatures (mainly humans, light elves disdained to do business with the dark elves, while other races did not do business. underdevelopment) slowly took over these cities.

As for the contract Delia mentioned, it is different from the mantra contract that Claire forced the demons to sign before. This is an agreement, and both parties must abide by its contents.

Claire was shocked when he heard this. He knew that there were many individuals among the dark elves who were dissatisfied with the current system, but he only thought that most of them were men, but he did not expect that a female dark elf could do so.

He helped Delia up and exclaimed: "Miss Delia, you are challenging the entire social system of the dark elves!"

Delia laughed at herself: "You are joking, how dare I? There are indeed many dark elves in a similar situation to mine. We yearn more for the human system, where men and women can get along equally, fall in love freely, and blood relatives can also There are real emotions and an attitude towards mixed-race... But I can’t even protect Elvis, so why challenge me? Now I just want to spend the next few years peacefully with Elvis.”

Claire could hear that these were Delia's heartfelt words, but it couldn't help but make him a little embarrassed. Delia imagined the human race too well!

In fact, men and women in the human race are not completely equal, and there are also differences between relatives. But at least on the surface, the human race follows the monogamy system, which is much better than the one-sided situation of the dark elves, and the human race is indeed very tolerant towards mixed-races. , to be precise, it treats those mixed-races who have talents and specialties, such as those who are physically strong, have special skills, or are good-looking.

Claire didn't intend to say this out and destroy Delia's yearning for the human race. Looking at Delia's sincere face, he suddenly had a bold idea: If Delia doesn't like their own system, is that okay? …

The mistress of the fifth family chose the demon clan, so her end would be death, and all her children and subordinates who knew about it would be executed. (Claire actually couldn't bear this, but he didn't change it. A good idea, the demon clan’s affairs cannot be leaked), in that case, why not take this opportunity to make Delia the new mistress?

This will be a breakthrough, a breakthrough to improve the relationship between humans and dark elves.

Delia will be closer to the human race. She is an enlightened leader who can provide shelter to the male dark elves who have been bullied and the female dark elves who also do not agree with the current system. The human empire will also give her support and ensure that Her family prospered, affecting the entire underground cavern.

Claire expressed her thoughts: "Miss Delia, you are a special dark elf. I admire you very much and am willing to cooperate with you. However, have you ever thought about being a mistress yourself?"

"What did you say?" Delia opened her mouth in surprise, and Claire could see a small set of white teeth in her mouth. These were probably the whitest parts of her body, right?

Claire was amused by this idea, and Delia also laughed when she heard his laughter, "Are you really kidding me? I know that my mother and sisters had contact with that... demon clan, You and the Human Empire will definitely not let them go, and the fifth family will probably disappear..."

She had previously admitted that she had no feelings for her family, but when she said the last sentence, there was still a touch of sadness in her tone.

Claire knew that she had misunderstood why he was laughing, but he would not tell the real reason even to death. He said seriously: "I'm not joking with you. Since you know who I am, you should think of who I am as a person." I won’t joke about this kind of thing. The contract I want to sign with you is not a personal contract, but an alliance on behalf of the entire human empire and with the future matron of the fifth family of dark elves. With the support of the human empire, No one can separate you from Mr. Elwes, and you don't have to remain anonymous."

"I, can I really do that?" Delia looked at Claire, with unconcealed expectations in her eyes, and Claire nodded.

Delia suddenly lowered her head again. She paced back and forth for a few steps, and finally made up her mind and said: "Sir, I am willing to take a gamble and follow you, provided that Elvis's safety is guaranteed!"

"Of course, I also want to ensure the safety of my people." Claire said with a smile.
