Fifty years ago, Silver Leaf City was destroyed by demons from the abyss. The remaining elves' soldiers fled back to the city. Facing the remaining old and weak, they were unable to continue to resist. The elves' royal family died one after another, and the underage little princess had to
Take responsibility for yourself.
"It was me, I ordered the retreat."
Encircled by the ants, Xili sat on the back of Swift Shadow and hugged Zhou Qingfeng's waist. The huge team had arrived at Silver Leaf City, and a huge stone covered with gray vines stood in the basin.
Entrance.
"Did you see that big stone?" Healy whispered: "That's the statue of Corellon. It was very beautiful back then. There is a platform underneath. We fled back in a hurry after being defeated in the Bloodstream Canyon, and I cried under the statue.
, everyone asked me what to do?
I was frightened at the time. My family members were all dead. How did I know what to do? Others said they would fight to the end, but I cried and asked if I could stop fighting and run away."
As Xili whispered, Zhou Qingfeng turned to look at the tall rocks on the side of the basin entrance. The rocks were beyond recognition and were covered with black vines. There was no appearance of any statue. It was just very abrupt and disturbing.
It just feels weird.
Inside the basin is the old nest of the Magru tribe. Compared with the cold wind blowing outside, it is relatively comfortable in the basin. In addition, some of the buildings left by the elves have not sunk into the ground. The living conditions are naturally better than elsewhere.
As the huge ant colony enters the basin, you can see a huge mound in front of you. Even if it is more than ten kilometers away, it is a unique landmark. It is an ancient elf tree disguised by high-level arcane magic. It is the entrance and exit.
The entrance to the ruins.
Hilly continued: "I found out later that everyone was actually frightened by the terror of the devil, but no one dared to evacuate. When I said, 'Can we not fight?', those who survived immediately agreed. Then.
.....
They actually sent me to the demons, saying that I was now the queen of Silverleaf City and was here to demand surrender. I was forced to dress up and kneel in front of a demon lord and howl. I still remember that humiliation.
.”
At this point, Xili was dumbfounded. There were no tears in her eyes, but her heart was already filled with tears. The girl could only hug Zhou Qingfeng's waist tightly and sobbed: "Then I was in a daze, like a puppet.
At the mercy of people.
I lost the favor of the elves and gods, and when I returned to Silverleaf City, I was scolded by other elves for being shameless. They locked me in a dungeon outside the city and asked me to never mention my last name again. Then they annexed the city.
Underground, escaped."
Zhou Qingfeng listened with sadness, and Jiying sighed. Dead Horse interrupted and said: "Xili, thank you for staying with me underground for fifty years. Otherwise, if you let me be trapped alone in an underground prison, I would have become a
A resentful spirit."
Hilly continued: "The demons did not accept my surrender. They mocked me, made fun of me, and humiliated me. Then they asked me to go back and wait for death, saying that they would let me taste the fear and resentment before death."
Zhou Qingfeng turned his head, carried his personal maid from behind to in front of him, and comforted softly: "Don't think too much, you still exist, you are my maid now, you have to take good care of me. My food, clothing, housing and transportation all depend on you.
Already."
In a miserable world, the master and the servant were warming each other up, but a sharp voice forced its way into their brains, deliberately mocking: "What a heartwarming scene, but I hope you don't waste too much time on boring emotions."
Otherwise you will die here."
The one who spoke was the queen ant who was surrounded and protected by countless worker ants and soldier ants. She was not far away from the master and servant, eavesdropping on their words through the ant guards flying in mid-air.
Hilly was enjoying her master's love and was extremely angry at the words that came her way. She glared fiercely at the ant pile where the queen was, and sent a message through the 'Holy Light': "Don't worry, as long as you enter the Elf Ancient
Within the scope of the tree, it is dead.”
However, the queen ant did not go to the ancient elf tree in the distance. It asked to go to the cemetery area. Zhou Qingfeng said that only by going to the ancient elf tree could the acid-loving ants be released from the divine curse, but the queen refused without hesitation.
"Don't try to trick me. I know what's in the ancient elf tree." The queen ant refused without hesitation. "The curse happened in the cemetery area, so it should be solved in the cemetery area. If you can't do it, now
You can just die."
With no other choice, the ant colony forcibly dragged everyone towards the cemetery area.
Since the entire Silverleaf City's buildings have sunk, a huge underground city has been formed. The soil covering the surface is formed by high-level arcane magic. By digging down more than ten meters of frozen soil, you can enter the underground space. Digging holes happens to be a hobby.
Specialties of acid ants.
When everyone was at a loss, Fabbro from Cold Wind City quietly approached Zhou Qingfeng and called the 'Holy Light' to initiate a confidential communication. Zhou Qingfeng was very surprised when he received the message from the chief alchemist.
"Everyone, I have a way to interfere with the psychic connection of the ant colony and cause them to be temporarily confused. Maybe we can take the opportunity to escape," Fabbro said.
Zhou Qingfeng remained calm on the surface and secretly replied: "Sir Fabbro, I didn't expect you to actually call on the 'Holy Light'. I remember that you made up several false identities in an attempt to deceive me."
Fabbro said unceremoniously: "Sir Hugo, if you want to quarrel, I can accompany you to quarrel. Otherwise, you'd better listen to what I have to say."
Based on the preconceived impression he got from the wizard apprentice Tambos, Zhou Qingfeng didn't have a good impression of the chief alchemist. However, this talented but unscrupulous guy can actually come up with a potion to restrain the curse of the gods, which shows that his knowledge and ability are quite good.
of.
"Tell me." Zhou Qingfeng replied.
Fabbro said: "I am an alchemist, and I usually like to do something special. After I left your Harmony Village, I thought about how to restrain psychic powers. I created a magic item for this purpose."
Wait..., restraining psychic powers? Zhou Qingfeng was furious when he heard this, "Did you prepare it specifically to restrain me?"
"This is normal. We were enemies before. Your 'Holy Light' is so terrifying that I have to think about it. But now it is used to deal with the queen ant."
"What the hell did you build?"
"A psychic gān rǎo qì, but it is just a crude product, and its range of influence is very limited, only about twenty yards. It is also very unreliable and can only work for a few seconds at most. This time is not enough for me to escape.
The control area of the ant colony.”
"so what......?"
"So we have to cooperate. I believe you are also looking for a way to escape."
"Does the city lord know that you have this thing?"
"He doesn't know, but he certainly won't refuse to escape together."
