"That snow elf scout is simply a liar! What part of what he said is true?" Ella's voice sounded very angry.
On the dark and dark underground plain, Arthur and his group were quickly escaping in the opposite direction of [Twilight City]. However, since there was basically no pressure, everyone's speed did not increase very fast. Both Barbas and Sophie
Being able to keep up, Rabbit tried to jump out to find food several times, but was stopped by the little girl.
Since the distance is already very far, the brightness of the "Black Sun" from this position is almost the same as that of the ordinary Glimmer Jellyfish nearby, but there are still huge beetle-like "Zerus" around from time to time coming out of the ground to launch attacks, but because they
The conventional attack method is to spray acid, and it does not calculate the advance, so it is completely impossible to hit Arthur and the others who are moving.
"Although I don't know what he said, it's probably all fake except for the name. The mission of these scouts is to coax adventurers into the city, but they can't go deep themselves, so they must let the adventurers tell their names after being tricked.
That's all." Jian Lasai responded to Ella's complaint.
"That's right," Arthur agreed: "The 'delicious blind fish' will take the initiative to jump out of the water to launch attacks, while the 'generally furnished levels' are full of traps on both sides. As for these 'zes who can't act without someone driving them,'"
Ruth'? Hey."
Although they are being chased, since no trump card has been revealed, the overall atmosphere of this team is quite relaxed. However, from the perspective of Jian Lasai, who only has a casual acquaintance with Arthur Ella and does not know their true strength,
These people are probably at the end of their tether, so they can't escape the pursuit of Zerus.
"Do you want to go back the way you came? I'm afraid that won't work. The scout has probably summoned a group of nearby patrols to watch your entrance to Blackfall." The dark elf archer suddenly said: "We have to take another way.
"
"Oh? Wasn't Black Fall united by the king whom he never met? Are there other things beyond his control?" Arthur slowed down slightly.
"The overall number of snow elves is too small. Even if there are so many cities on the surface, they cannot all occupy and develop. The king just summoned the snow elves from all over the city to the Twilight City. The territory he actually controlled was not as big as Xueman.
I heard that in the northeast-" Jian Lasai looked around for a while to determine the direction, then raised his hand to point to a certain location, but the next moment he was completely stagnant in place.
"I'm too far away from home. I have to go back." She said blankly with blurred eyes, then turned around and planned to leave.
Poof, snap.
Arthur grabbed her arm, and with a soft sound similar to the bursting of blisters, Jane Russell's eyesight returned to normal.
"It seems that the city's method of controlling adventurers is not simple. At this moment, this black girl is far away from the 'black sun', and there is no sign of magic, curse or poison on her body. She should not be controlled. It's strange."
Septim silently looked up and down at Jane Russell, quite surprised.
"But as long as daddy takes her hand, it will be fine-" Sophie, who was holding Rabbit, interrupted.
"Tch." Ella drew her bow and arrow, and shot back a few Zerus who came around because the team stopped for a moment.
"Baron, don't let go until safety is ensured," Lydia raised her shield to block a venom spray: "Ms. Jane Russell, please tell us where we are going?"
"Go to the northeast, 'Zak Tower'!" The dark elf said quickly, feeling a little ashamed of his loss of control.

"It seems that they have no intention of rushing into the city and turning Twilight City upside down." Hearn said.
High in the sky, on a suspended giant mushroom, Hakon dressed as an aristocrat and Hearn dressed as a worker were looking down at Arthur and his party who were gradually moving away. From their positions, they could easily see the pursuers.
As this team of adventurers gradually retreats away from them, if nothing else happens, those snow elf scouts and workers who still have their own jobs will give up tracking and hand over the work to real soldiers.
"After all, he is Baron Xueman. If he starts a war rashly, he will push Xueman to the opposite side of this 'Twilight City'. When it is confirmed that the other party has the power of a suspected demon god, this choice is quite satisfactory." Hakon tilted his head and looked.
He glanced at Hearn and said, "Besides, isn't this just what you want?"
"No matter how you hint, as long as you don't say His name, He won't notice it," Hearn raised his eyebrows: "Unlike your ideal of 'changing the world,' I just want to 'change myself.'
"
"Haha." Hakon did not pick up the topic and turned to look at the city in the distance: "That guy Wilsho actually thought of using the 'Blood of Baal' and 'Remains of the Demon God' scattered in the underground world to restore his compatriots.
Unfortunately, this method has serious side effects, so we can only capture adventurers to complete the relevant work. This time when we met the 'Dragonborn', he was basically finished."
"Although they are hostile to the Dragonborn, you seem to respect them very much? According to your description, they are strong enough to repel the 'Duneviel'. So is it possible to directly defeat the 'Zak Tower' and take away the Elder Scrolls? Absolutely not.
Are you going to cause trouble with 'Twilight' again?" Hearn asked.
"If that guy had joined the Dark Brotherhood or the Thieves Guild, he might have done that, but he now belongs to the comrades-in-arms group, and look at the companions around him," Hakon chuckled: "If that group of people wants something,
If the owner asks something to be done for something, they will do it without thinking, rather than thinking about picking the lock and stealing it or simply killing the owner and taking it away.”
"So, as long as Galeb reveals the inner situation of this city and puts forward a commission, they will come back and become enemies of the Twilight Saga?" Hearn looked to the northeast.
"At that time, you will enter Zac Tower with them, and I will be responsible for completely destroying the 'Twilight Saga'." Hakon stared at Hearn: "We are just uniting rather than forming an alliance. Don't try to make small moves. I will keep watching.
your."
"Of course, you are the boss." Hearn crossed his arms and sneered.
——19th, 00:00——
【Twilight】, the main entrance square of Eltanvod Cathedral.
The "black sun" hanging high in the sky illuminates this place as if it were daytime. Many elves with handsome faces, tall figures, and exquisite armors, but with abnormally pale skins, are walking around the passage around the cathedral. They know each other.
When people meet each other, they will also treat each other with an elegant courtesy. If the quaint and grand dwarf ruins around it are replaced with gorgeous elven buildings, it can be called an elven city.
"Those who accept the 'adjustment' enter the square -" a female snow elf in a robe standing outside the main entrance of the church shouted loudly.
Following her words, a ground in the middle of the church square separated to both sides, and a dwarf elevator brought up five snow elves whose eyes had not yet opened or whose bodies were still skinny. Without exception, they were surrounded by people.
Carry a herbal bag.
"Be prepared, the 'adjustment' is about to begin -" the female snow elf shouted again, raising her hand to put on the hood attached to her robe.
After hearing these words, the snow elves who had just ascended opened the herbal bags they carried and quickly stuffed the broken or complete red herbs into their mouths.
The snow elves who were originally wandering around also took the initiative to stay away from the church square, but there were still some who stayed further away to observe here.
Squeak - the thick main door of the cathedral opened, and two figures walked out. Although the one on the left looked no different from other handsome snow elves, his skin did not have the abnormal paleness, and the armor on his body was more exquisite than the other elves.
and gorgeous, but the one on the right is an old male human with gray hair, but his beard is still black. He is holding a heavy dwarf metal staff, but wearing an exquisite wizard-style robe in an elf style. He looks quite weird, but
The snow elves around him all looked as if they were not surprised.
Boom! After seeing that all the snow elves had finished "eating" and began to tremble non-stop, the human mage suddenly knocked his staff on the ground and shouted: "'Ari-E's Blessing'!"
A glittering semicircular magic barrier suddenly appeared, completely covering the five snow elves. Their tremors became undetectable almost instantly. After breathing a sigh of relief, they all began to look around curiously.
However, this was not the end. The head of the mage's staff sprayed out a stream of golden light towards the black sun in the sky at the next moment. When it hit the black sun, the snow elves in the barrier screamed silently, not
It stopped rolling inside the barrier, and a large amount of black smoke began to escape from its body visibly to the naked eye.
The two people presiding over the ceremony turned a blind eye to this, while the snow elves watching from a distance seemed to empathize with it, and some couldn't stand it anymore and turned away.
The golden magic barrier kept absorbing the black smoke. After a while, it seemed to reach a certain critical point. It suddenly shrank and flew high into the sky and merged into the "black sun".
"Ahhhhhhhh?", the snow elves stopped screaming and started to check themselves one by one. Although four of the five snow elves had some changes in appearance, their eyes were more open or their limbs became stronger.
, but they are still roughly the same as before. Only one of them, although still wearing tattered Zerus leather armor, is almost exactly the same as the surrounding snow elves in terms of body shape, face and eyes.
"Yes, you are the best-qualified among these 'Adjusters'," the armor-clad ceremony leader took a step forward: "What is your name? What was your previous position?"
"Reporting to His Majesty the King," the snow elf didn't have time to get up, so he simply lay on the ground: "I am a patrol scout outside the capital, my name is...'Yet'."
"Haha, the one who accidentally let the adventurer escape?" The human mage narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "So, is it because he knew that he would not have the chance to go out in the future, so he put everything he had into a desperate move?"
"It's...Master." Art didn't dare to raise his head at all.
"Then it will be your responsibility to take these losers back and pack their things and move them to the 'surface'." The mage didn't seem to have much interest in the struggle of a snow elf. After giving a few casual instructions, he followed the snow elf king back.
cathedral.
"Isn't the process of this ceremony a little too fast, Master Hindelion?"
"It's better than the previous time when it took more than an hour for someone to complete the 'adjustment'."
"That's true."
When Art took the elevator again and sank to the ground, he vaguely heard the two leaders talking like this.
