In the dark night sky, the full moon has quietly slipped into the clouds, only letting out a little faint light that is not obvious.
In the thousands of miles of night sky beyond the clouds, countless stars are like children's eyes, blinking curiously with their ever-curious and clear eyes, looking at the earth that looks unusually deep in the darkness.
Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta...
In the darkness, at the end of the bluestone path, there was a faint and rhythmic sound of leather boots hitting the ground. The sound came from far away, gradually getting louder and getting closer.
A moment later, a black blurry figure walked out of the corner of the woods on the bluestone path. It was too dark to see the face of the person clearly, but it was absolutely certain that the person was a woman.
Under the dim starlight, this black figure shows a tall figure and a perfectly proportioned silhouette, which is easily reminiscent of an extremely beautiful woman.
The black shadow walked out of the woods and suddenly stopped at the corner of the path paved with bluestones. Obviously, she seemed to begin to realize that something was not very right here. She turned around suspiciously and looked around, but she did not find any danger.
.
The black shadow frowned, something was really not right here. Ever since I walked on this bluestone path, the sounds of insects on both sides were always loud or small.
The chirping of these unknown insects is like a love song that belongs to the night in the dark forest. Only when you pass by do those little insects stop singing.
However, when I turned this corner, there was not even a sound of insects chirping in the place in front of me. It was so quiet. It was eerily quiet, so quiet that it made people feel uncomfortable.
Seeing the figure coming out, he stopped. In the shadows of the jungle on both sides of the bluestone path, a dozen black figures in black cloaks moved slightly, and soon they all lowered their bodies lower, like a dozen pieces of black.
The stone stopped moving.
"Am I paranoid?" Shakir paused to observe for a while and said to herself.
This is already the core area of the dark forest, not far from the settlement of the dark elves. Because Shakir didn't like crowded places, she moved to a place a little further away from the village. Although this place is far away from the dark
The elven village is a little far away, but it is also the core area of a dark forest and should be quite safe.
Because there are often dark elf patrols patrolling the edge of the dark forest, it is impossible for human slave catching teams to come here to capture elves, and I have never heard of human slave catching teams being able to enter the core of the dark forest.
.
"It seems that my suspicion has returned again!" Shakir laughed to herself, and started to walk forward as she spoke.
Shakir is a candidate priest of the Dark Temple, but he is also a captain of the Dark Temple Guard.
The Dark Temple Guard not only protects the Dark Temple, but also patrols the core of the Dark Forest. When necessary, the Dark Temple Guard will even patrol the outskirts of the Dark Forest with other elven troops under the jurisdiction of the Dark Elf Queen.
.
But in general, the troops of the Dark Temple usually patrol the core areas of the Dark Elves, such as in cities or around villages. The troops led by the Dark Elf Queen are mostly responsible for patrolling and garrisoning the periphery of the Dark Elves, because they are responsible for
What matters is the safety of the entire dark elf community.
The Dark Elf Kingdom in the Dark Forest can only be regarded as a very small principality compared to the human kingdom. Because the population of Dark Elf is not very large, it does not even have one-third of the population of their compatriots long ago, the Moon Elf.
Many. Except for the capital Tenaris, which is a large city, the other dark elf settlements are villages.
Shakir is the captain of the temple guard team of the Dark Temple in a nearby elven village, and is also a candidate priest in the main temple of Terenas in the capital, and this path paved with bluestones is also one of the routes she often leads patrols.
This bluestone paved path leads to the nearby dark elf village at one end, and to the vicinity of her residence at the other end.
Tonight she had just finished changing positions with her teammates and was about to return to her home to rest, but she didn't know why tonight, she always felt uneasy. Ever since she walked to this corner, this feeling has become stronger, and she always feels as if something is about to happen.
Like something bad happened.
Although she had been feeling uneasy, she had no clue what was causing her uneasiness. It was precisely because she felt uneasy that she stopped at the corner.
But after she didn't find anything unusual, she could only laugh at herself for being suspicious. Shakir laughed at herself, but she didn't expect that she would be afraid of one day if she walked alone on this extremely familiar road.
Shakir relaxed her guard and continued walking along the bluestone path.
Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta...
In the silence, the slight yet rhythmic sound of small leather boots hitting the bluestone sounded again.
The sound got closer and closer, and Shakir's blurry figure became clearer and clearer.
Her dark purple flowing long hair is draped behind her back, and a few strands of hair beside her long ears flutter gently in the cool night breeze as she moves. Her eyes, as beautiful as autumn water, are always looking around both sides of the road.
.If there wasn’t a trace of nervousness in her eyes, then she must also be looking forward to it!
Maybe it was because of nervousness, maybe because she had walked a lot. On Shakir's face, which was as white as cream, a trace of crystal clear sweat was faintly visible. The cool night breeze could only take away the fragrance of her body.
But he couldn't help her wipe away the crystal-like glint.
Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta...
Lonely footsteps echoed in the darkness.
Suddenly, the leaves on a big tree above Shakir's head rustled rapidly, breaking the tranquility of the night. The rapid and chaotic sound of the leaves was like a bad-tempered beast maiming it, and the leaves
They rustled wildly, as if they were wailing in pain.
Shakil looked up nervously, and at the same time, her right hand quickly grasped the handle of the single sword hanging at her waist, and quickly assumed a defensive posture.
Although no human slave-catching team has ever appeared in the core area of the dark forest. But that does not mean that there is no danger in the core area of the dark forest.
If there is a forest, there will be ferocious beasts, and the presence of ferocious beasts means danger. The dark forest is just a forest in the jungle of the Apatis Mountains. Wild beasts from outside will often break into the dark forest, threatening the civilians of the dark elves.
and the safety of the children. This is why the Dark Temple garrison patrols the core area of the Dark Forest.
But this time, what Shakir saw was not some ill-tempered beast, but a huge web covering the sky.
