After finishing his guard duty, Li Wen, who had just returned to the main elf city to continue learning sixth-level spells, received a text message from Aletta.
"Where are you? I'm looking for you if I need anything."
"Home."
After sending the text message, Li Wen smacked his lips... It looked more and more like an online chat.
Hmm~ Looking back, I want to think about how to develop this thing. Only mages can use it and it has to rely on limited spell slots of at least the second level. It's not fun enough to talk about it.
Not long after the text message was sent, Aletta came in a hurry, and she was the only one.
"I just heard my mother say something, and I thought you might also need to know."
Aletta gets straight to the point.
"Um."
Li Wen nodded and looked at her.
"We have found out that the monsters in the Underdark have made some special movements recently. They seem to be gathering under the influence of some kind of will. We are worried that your city construction will be affected by this."
As the eternal light and fire are no longer the factor restricting the monsters in the Underdark, the elves and dwarves have begun to pay more and more attention to the situation inside the Underdark.
"Assemble?"
Li Wen narrowed his eyes slightly.
Who can make those wild and untamed beasts, including werewolves and vampires, obey their orders? Apart from illithids, it is hard to imagine that other creatures can do this.
"Yes...but the specific reason is not clear."
Li Wen said after considering it.
"Maybe it's an illithid."
Aletta looked suspicious.
"Illithids?"
Instead, it was Li Wen's turn to be confused.
"Have you never heard of this race?"
"No……"
Maybe the name is different?
Li Wen tried to explain.
"It's a humanoid creature with a head like an octopus and four tentacles on its chin. The power it uses is some kind of extraordinary power called psychic power."
Aletta squinted her eyes and recalled what she had learned throughout her life, but could not find any trace of this creature, so she could only shake her head cutely.
"But I still haven't seen this kind of creature...Does this kind of creature exist in your world?"
"Well... and it is said to be a very powerful ethnic group. Legend has it that it ruled the entire multiverse many years ago..."
Considering that this world's understanding of the world does not even exceed the ground beneath his feet, Li Wen changed his explanation: "It means that it rules many worlds like ours and is quite powerful."
"ah……"
Aletta naturally did not doubt what Li Wen said. Hearing this, she covered her mouth in surprise, "Then how did you deal with them?"
"I don't know... In fact, we have only seen a few of them, one or two, and some rumors, and there has never been a large-scale war. Besides, the illithid monsters you have here may not be their entire group. Of course, according to me,
I just got some news that the equipment made from an ore in my hand also has a certain restraint effect on them, but it has not been tested in actual combat."
As they spoke, Li Wen and Aletta looked at each other and were silent for a brief moment.
In the next 0.5 seconds, a tacit consensus was reached, "Then what are you waiting for?"
Not only are the dwarves experts at making equipment, the elves are also good at craftsmanship.
They just strive for excellence and treat every creation they create as a work of art. Therefore, the quantity produced is not large, but it does not mean that they are poor in skills.
…
In the council hall of the main elf city, the elf councilors who received the news gathered here to discuss the unusual events in the Underdark.
With such a strange gathering, it is difficult not to associate it with a large-scale invasion.
No matter what the opponent's background is, they need to make their own preparations.
"The few reconnaissance teams we sent out can only go a short distance away, but the teams whose mission is to go deeper have lost contact, and can't even convey a text message. We have no idea what's going on inside.
Something."
"Until I get specific intelligence information, I think any decision would be a bit reckless."
"But I still recommend that everyone prepare for war from now on, and let most professionals conduct military-style training to deal with possible impacts. When the enemy actually breaks out, they will not greet us in advance."
"Reconsideration! I suggest starting to build military equipment from now on and deploy a magic defense line near the border."
Different from the previous blood curse, most of the targets of blood curse infection are humans. Even though they will be strengthened to a certain extent after infection, they are still far from the opponent of their army of elven professionals.
Although troublesome, it is by no means a fatal threat.
It's different now, a counterattack from the entire Underdark area...
If their powers could be integrated, it would be an unimaginable impact.
Larika, who was presiding over the council, listened to everyone's opinions silently, pondering the feasibility of various proposals in her mind.
Preparing the army for war is naturally the greatest effort they can make, but the result of this is that the development of their elves has come to a standstill.
But for the safety of the entire continent, this is actually the most feasible solution.
If you are determined to do this, you still need a certain amount of call and mobilization.
She is an elf herself, so she naturally knows the nature of most elves.
It's not that there are no warriors among them, it's just that most elves are more interested in watching a show or listening to a concert than taking up weapons to fight the enemy.
Even in the face of a crisis, they need to be given time to adapt.
While thinking about these thoughts, a text message was suddenly heard by Larika...it was news about her daughter.
Master Bobby also has his own unique understanding and response to the changes in the Underdark Region?
"Guys, I think we still have more information that we don't have."
Larica put her hands on the table in front of her and leaned over to scan all the congressmen in front of her.
After receiving the permission, Aletta brought the belt that she and Li Wen had hurriedly forged from the magic heart mine to the council hall.
Even though it was made in a hurry, the emerald green belt still has complicated patterns, just like flowers blooming in spring.
The red mineral extract material with a texture like amber is divided by silver branches, showing the appearance of blooming flowers on the belt.
"According to Master Poppy's understanding, what is causing the abnormal phenomena in the Dark Territory may be a certain ethnic group that also exists in their world. This is a magical equipment made of a certain mineral that Master Poppy took out. It is said that for that
Clans have special effects. If equipped with this kind of equipment, it may allow our reconnaissance team to obtain some detailed information."
"real?"
"Very good!"
"How many have been built? I'll send someone to investigate again!"
"But Master Poppy has a condition."
Aletta said softly.
For a moment everyone was quiet and looked at her.
There should be some demands for taking out these treasures.
I just don’t know what kind of remuneration Master Poppy wants.
"If it is confirmed to be effective, he hopes that we can gather manpower and quickly arm the sideline with the ore he provided, because the opponent... is quite difficult to deal with."
Aletta relayed Li Wen's request.
The Magic Heart Mine Belt is effective for players, but it does not necessarily mean that it is also effective for aborigines. Li Wen wants a more rigorous certification.
It is difficult to find traces of illithids in Gaia, but those in the Underdark should be much easier to find.
"Is this also called a condition?"
"This is what we should be doing."
Some elf councilors said excitedly.
"Everyone..."
Larika put her hands on the table and said in a deep voice.
"I think you may have misunderstood what Master Poppy meant... He means that we should give up unnecessary scheming considerations and don't have to think about his attitude. In this matter, he will fully support our actions and
He is willing to provide the ores that he only has for free."
Looking at the legislators who were silent because they realized this, Larica added again.
"So after this matter is over, I propose that Master Poppy become our new...Sun King."
