The Devil's Whisper is the name of the first overture of [Ashe's Seven Purgatory].
This upcoming future is also the prelude to a new eternal war. With the help of demons, the ancient elemental gods who participated in the ancient god war and belonged to the goddess of chaos broke away from the seal one by one, bringing endless consequences to the continent.
Disaster.
With the resurrection of the elemental god, elemental monsters such as fire elemental warlords, wind elemental lords, and water elemental monarchs have gradually become the BOSS-level opponents that players encounter for the first time.
At the same time, smelling the coming of the new order, careerists and idealists are also starting to make moves. The most powerful and dangerous among them are the believers of the evil god who hope to establish an independent country and welcome the advent of the evil god. They have ambitious plans to return to the world.
The underground city masters on the surface, the undead empire that longs for killing and destruction.
Of course, as the name of the overture suggests, there are more or less demons behind these troublesome things, and as the gods of elements one after another arrive incompletely, descending clones, the tide of elements descends, the elemental magic
The power becomes greater, and the advancement of the strong becomes easier.
Ashe Continent will eventually encounter a new era of demonic tides where lichs are everywhere and the legends are not as good as dogs. However, in the tide of elements, the connection between Ashe Continent and other worlds has become more sophisticated, and traveling to other worlds has become easier.
Visitors are also more frequent.
When the young generation on the ground was thriving, when various countries were rejoicing about their future and even had ambitions to expand, they did not expect that this was also the conspiracy of the devil and the evil god of chaos. The arrival of the demonic tide broke the barrier between the worlds.
The gate also directly opened the door to the bottomless abyss in the future. A large number of demons poured into the mortal world to meet the prerequisites, and their outpost battle was a new wave of natural disasters of the undead.
The underground city masters formed a coalition to invade the ground. It was supposed to be part of the content of the next expansion pack "Vultures of War", which was about ten years later. Now it is a bit early, but after thinking about it for a while, it feels natural.
.
After all, the dungeon world is still in chaos. Even if the dungeon overlords want to integrate the aloof and arrogant dungeon masters, it will take time. But at this time, it is time to eliminate dissidents and integrate combat power.
But the Sulfur Mountain City we are in is obviously blocking the way of people. Well, perhaps, people should not be used to describe these underground city overlords.
"It is said that the highest priest Kaya Rose, the daughter of the Spider Queen, has unified all the dark elves, and their target is the surface elves..."
"Dragon Queen Moriel, the co-leader of the red dragon and the black dragon, and the recognized king of the dragons in the Seven Underground Dragon City. Their goal is to return to the surface. Of course, if they can take revenge on the dragon god Bahamut who exiled them, they can
Better.”
"Estna Elul, a dark wizard, is barely human... His goals are unknown and his strength is unknown, but his subordinates have more than fifty dungeons. As far as regular troops are concerned, he will not
It is inferior to any human empire. Its military strength is also extremely outstanding, and it will be the nominal supreme leader of the underground city alliance in the future."
"Tao. Wrathfang, the manticore orc, the chief of the Wrathfang tribe, the leader elected by hundreds of underground orc tribes. Although the orc tribes are extremely chaotic within, the orcs have amazing fighting talents. The racial talents of the underground orcs are
They are much stronger than the orcs on the surface. If you only look at the number of strong people, they are not as good as gold as dogs. Legends are everywhere. Their goal... is not to take revenge on the surface races, but to return to the hometown of the orcs. Legend
The Bialua Plain. But now it is the territory and granary of the San Antonio Empire, a powerful human power. In other words, there will still be a fight, and it will be a decisive battle at the level of annihilation of the country and the genocide..."
These four underground city lords are called overlords because their men's strength is significantly higher than that of other city lords.
But everyone knows the story of one monk who has water to drink, two monks who carry water to drink, and three monks who have no water to drink. If there was only one overlord, they would have unified the underground world and sent troops to the surface. But now, the four underground
The overlord, under the control of all parties, has made the dungeon world even more chaotic.
But this time, just like the history recorded in the guide, it seemed that they had sensed the opportunity in the new era. The dark wizard Estner and the underground beast Emperor Tao formed an alliance first and planned to invite Kaya and Moriel.
With a large number of interest concessions, the Underground City Covenant was concluded, and nearly 40% of the underground city owners in the entire underground world were gathered to form the largest coalition in history.
But I know that things are not that simple. From the "history" I got from the guide, there are third parties involved behind the orcs and the dark wizards... Behind the black wizards are cunning and fickle devils, and the orcs are chaotic and bloodthirsty demons.
, the two thieves intervened in one pocket, and then the two sides fell out, which was the only possibility of failure for this powerful coalition.
Of course, Spider Queen Rose and Black Dragon are definitely not good men and women, they are also making their own plans.
"I have a headache. This is no longer a battle of orders of magnitude."
The conclusion of the Underground City Covenant and the formation of the coalition forces should be recent events. I have the intention to change, but it is obvious that I am powerless. It is a foregone conclusion that the underground coalition forces will counterattack on the ground.
"Those stupid pigs on the surface can enjoy the warm sunshine and clean night breeze without doing anything, but if we don't do something, we will work day and night, but we can only rely on the cold afterglow of the glowing moss,
Drinking the sulfur-smelling underground water veins, fearfully avoiding earthquakes and herds of animals, living a life where you can't tell the difference between day and night, and are worse than pigs and dogs. Tell me, the people of the underground, do you plan for your descendants to live the same life?
This hellish day. Why should we, the exiled people, be inferior to others? Why must we bear the sins of our ancestors? Everyone has the right to live under the sun. We just want to take back everything we deserve."
Three years ago, when this highly inflammatory slogan was shouted out by Estner, it quickly spread throughout the underground world.
Nowadays, the underground city world counterattacks the ground and enjoys real sunlight. It has become the expectation of all life and is destined to become a historical trend. (There is no sun in the underground world, but there are a lot of glowing moss on the top of the rocks, which can provide some lighting)
Even I have no intention of trying to use my arms as a chariot. The underground covenant composed of countless dungeons cannot be stopped, but the betrayal within the Sulfur Mountain City caused by it cannot be exempted.
"Congressman Wende, Congressman Kahn..." These stupid congressmen actually plan to skip the existing administrative departments of Sulfur Mountain City, directly form new alliances with other underground cities, and join the future surface crusade.
.
Since the current Lord of Sulfur Mountain City, Adam, is a human hero on the surface, although it is not known why he chose to settle here for more than a hundred years, from the beginning, the big figures "Brave" Adam and "Sage" Margaret from the surface,
They were regarded as enemies of the Underground Covenant.
As the covenant progressed, the dark elves' city of Menzoberranzan, the gray dwarves and the underground orcs' city of Caron, the former without hesitation took refuge in the subordinates of Kaya, the spider queen's highest priest, and the latter also took refuge in the orc Huang Tao.
Sulfur Mountain City has always opposed war, let alone the world war on the surface. From the beginning, Sulfur Mountain City has become a thorn in the side of this alliance.
But not everyone is without ambition... At least, many "big shots" in Sulfur Mountain City are very interested in the territory on the surface. There are no nobles in Sulfur Mountain City, but there are nobles on the surface and in other underground cities...
...
Therefore, when the two cities put pressure on those stupid councillors, and used the fiefdom on the surface as a temptation, some people with interests had already colluded into a party and formed the so-called "Covenant Faction". This coincided with Adam's plan to hand over the position of city lord.
, and gave them a great opportunity.
But this time when the ambassador came to Sulfur Mountain City, no one took their diplomatic and trade mission seriously, but secretly they were helping those congressmen to rise to power. Except for a few unlucky ones who were used as cover-ups, the big businessmen who were assassinated were often others.
There is a parliamentary status, and as the obstacles die one by one, the Covenanter faction is gradually coming to power.
No one would be stupid enough to have a head-on conflict with the demigod Adam. They were waiting and accumulating strength. As long as there was a slight flaw or opportunity in the change of position in Sulfur Mountain City, it would be time for them to incite public opinion and take over.
The Dark Elf city managers may be very effective in dealing with illegal criminals, but they are already questioned by some citizens because of their origins. If they are involved in such a conspiracy, if they are discovered by the Covenant faction and used as an obstacle, they can easily become cannon fodder.
With a little thought, I can come up with a dozen ways to make them stink and kill them, such as mobilizing public opinion and saying that they framed the embassy and that the real serial killer is one of their own, forcing them to hand over the "real culprit" and instigating
Confrontation, scolding them for stealing, blaspheming the Holy Light, launching sectarian trials, forcing them to death, if they fight back with force, haha...
Well, let’s curb our bad temper. Although those congressmen are not as “smart” as me, they are definitely good at internal fighting. I can’t think of more than a dozen, but one or two will definitely be fine.
I chose to keep them out of the matter, not as a pity for them as Eliza said, but just to protect their shortcomings instinctively.
Yes, it's just to protect my shortcomings. Whoever likes those stupid women who always hinder my work, I don't care about them.
But they are now the subordinates of my subordinates, they are members of the judicial system of Sulfur Mountain City in life, and they are the ghosts (undead) of my Lord Yongye in death. If they die inexplicably and unjustly, wouldn't they be losing my people.
Listening to the information Eliza took out from Oku, it seemed that all the problems had been solved, but I found some inconsistencies.
"...Why are they so obsessed with Sulfur Mountain City? This city is not even a fraction of the entire underground world."
I am not one of those self-aggrandizing congressmen who thinks that the world cannot survive without me. Even without the joining of Sulfur Mountain City, the underground coalition still has the power to sweep across the ground.
"Oku heard that a very powerful monster seemed to be sealed here, and the Dragon Queen seemed to be very interested in it, and even offered a high bounty, so he planned to try his luck."
"Nonsense, I have lived here for more than a hundred years. It was a wasteland from the beginning. What kind of powerful monster was sealed..."
Suddenly, I remembered something and I got stuck.
"Powerful monster? Seal? It can't be such a coincidence. Could it be referring to me, Lord Eternal Night? No, there should be no leaks about me here. My true identity is only Adam, Margaret, and Xiao Hong.
You know, they are not talkative people... No, one of them might be talkative."
"That boy Adam is trying to trick me again?"
Adjusting her gold-rimmed glasses, Eliza nodded pretending to be sad, but I could see that she was snickering again.
"More than a year ago, the councilors invited the city lord to a cocktail party. Then, the strongest orc eviscerating wine was served... The city lord who drank too much spent three hours talking about how he defeated the powerful demon king.
, and then sealed him in the depths of hell. Although he did not specify which demon king it was, most of the congressmen at the meeting also regarded it as a joke, but obviously, some people took it seriously."
"Lord Yongye?" He seemed to be muttering to himself, but it was also a question, and it seemed that someone was not on the right track.
"It's not Lord Yongye. According to Lord Dragon Queen's analysis, Adam was not able to deal with the semi-god-level Undead Lord at all, let alone the seal. It's very possible that the opponent is simply war-weary and has left this plane.
"
The new experimental subject was very smart when he arrived, and took the initiative to share the unknown information with me.
"And if Lord Yong Ye is really sealed here, then he is not an object that can be controlled. In the eyes of any living person, he is a dangerous element that can never be released from the beginning. Looking for Lord Yong Ye is just a matter of using
Rumors of false intelligence operations. Our real target is Alolavis, the ancient god of fire element."
The ring that detects lies proved that it was the truth. Thinking of the characteristics of the fire element, I suddenly realized.
This is a sulfur mountain city, surrounded by endless sulfur mountains. Sulfur is the easiest thing to find around the crater. Such a large sulfur mine is obviously not natural.
"In that so-called game, all the ancient elemental gods came and were defeated and expelled over the long years. The only exception was the fire elemental god. Now that I think about it, it's not that the other party didn't come, but the fire elemental god.
God has been in the underworld since the beginning. What place is more suitable for the fire element to live than the sulfur mountains and volcanic craters."
"Underground? In the sulfur veins?"
"Yes, through operation, the members of the Covenant faction have sold us part of the mining rights of the mineral veins, and our gray dwarf miners have found ruins in the mining area, which may very well lead to the altar of the God of Elements. Now
What hinders us is, firstly, to avoid leaks, we must obtain all the mining rights of that mining area, and those who insist not to sell are also on this assassination list. Secondly, the watcher... Lord Dragon Queen guessed that Adam is
The Sulfur Mountain City was built here to guard Alola Weiss. As long as the seal is touched, the guards will definitely feel it, but even the demigod Adam or the Dragon Queen may not be able to win if he takes action personally."
I covered my forehead and wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Adam, you are such a big trap. You cheated me a hundred and thirty years ago, and now you cheat me again. If you weren't bragging everywhere, how could you be the guardian of the God of Elements? How could you treat this city as someone else's?
You are a thorn in your side, why would you drag me into this? Can't you keep your big mouth in check? It causes me trouble every day."
"If it really becomes a place sealed by the God of Elements, maybe the demons will take action themselves. Then I really need to make some preparations."
I closed my eyes and meditated, with many thoughts wandering in my mind. Just when I vaguely found something, suddenly, there was a bang on the door and a familiar voice, which made me instinctively lower my body and run away with my head in my arms, but I was still half a step too late.
....
"Hi, Uncle Bones! Long time no see, Annie is here to play with you."
Before flying out of the window, my last thought was the spinning world in front of me, the pink color just now, and the uncontrollable random thoughts...
"I've really grown up. I could only fly thirty meters high before... Now, I can see rock tops and glowing moss over three hundred meters high. Hi, Mrs. Vulture, you're here to look for food too."
,The weather is really nice today.”
It was obviously flying high in the sky as usual, but I was surprisingly not angry at all. The reason? When I was flying in the air, the scene just now was still playing in my mind, as well as the source of this strange thought...
..
"Ahem, it's pink. It's to remind her that girls shouldn't kick people casually, otherwise they'll be easily exposed. Girls are really amazing. They have changed from a naughty child to a naughty girl all of a sudden.
Tall and beautiful lady."
Yes, even though we haven’t seen her for seven or eight years, at that moment, I could see clearly that the originally dry naughty child had turned into a lovely and beautiful girl.
Big butt and beautiful breasts, full of energy, youthful and innocent face, good figure and good personality, she is exactly what I like.
"How about after resurrection, consider fulfilling the engagement? However, I have rejected Adam so many times, and now I say it back, is it too unscrupulous?"
Do I have such a thing as integrity? It seems that I don’t. Soon, I made up my mind to try to see if An still remembered Uncle Bones, who hurt her the most and always "played with her", and the lollipop exchanger.
Come "engagement."
But when I was thinking about it, a group of uninvited guests came uninvited...
"Go away, stinky bird, I am not a prey, I am a terrible lich, I am very scary, be careful I bite you..."
A group of carrion-eating vultures surrounded them, and bones seemed to be their food...
"Go away, stinking bird!! I really bit you. The Lich's touch is very scary, and the Lich with only the skull is also very strong... It seems that before I consider fulfilling the engagement, I still
Let her get rid of this bad habit first and teach her what she can and cannot kick!!"
