The glorious Platinum City that carries a long history, at this moment, is no longer as prosperous as it was in the past.
Endless flames spread along the streets filled with history. The sea of fire that covers the sky swallows everything. In front of the destroyers who have lost their rationality, those precious historical sites that are filled with traces of history aren't worth mentioning.
In the sky, the Giant Dragons and the Magical Beasts are fighting. The white-winged Angels are in a killing frenzy. They are like butchers, slaying all the 'evil' in front of them, even if he was still a commoner just a moment ago.
"Dead, they are all dead!!"
"High Priestess Kajah was assassinated!! The Dark Elves have gone mad! They are killing anyone they see! "
"Why would there be Gold Dragons and Angels in the underground world. Are the Order Gods trying to destroy us? Or is the army on the ground already attacking us? "
"The Beastman army has entered the city, they are fighting with the Dark Elves!"
This is no longer the peaceful Vance of yesterday. Countless beacons are lit one by one and the thousand-year-old ancient city is about to be destroyed.
This also starts from the auction that is destined to be unable to end.
4 in the morning, the auction that was originally planned to be held in the Platinum Chapel was changed at the last minute.
There was no other reason. The chapel that could hold ten thousand people was too small. It couldn't hold the number of people participating in the auction. Due to the requirement of my contract of "anyone can participate in the auction", the chapel was already packed to the brim even before 3 AM. Left with no choice, I could only change the auction venue.
Considering that the new location has to be spacious, I directly used the original location of the auction. That place is already a bottomless pit with no end in sight, it is definitely spacious enough.
This auction is destined to not end peacefully. The Alliance Conference has already ended and the binding agreement of not fighting during the Alliance Conference is already invalid. That agreement that prohibits fighting in the neutral Vance City? Sorry, if it wasn't for the balance of power, this city would already be within the boundaries of the battle.
In reality, everyone knows that no matter who auctions that God Equipment, it will be snatched away on the spot. Without the strength to suppress the entire crowd, it is impossible to bring it away.
But humans are greedy and everyone more or less has the mentality of wishful thinking.
"Isn't that how the Legendary Knight novels are written. Perhaps, a God Equipment will suddenly appear in front of me in the middle of a fight. Not long after, I'll be able to discover the secrets within and become an Undead Emperor. I'll become the Emperor of the Xiluo Empire, marry a beautiful, rich, and beautiful woman, and reach the pinnacle of my life. Just thinking about it makes me a little excited. " This kind of thought spun in everyone's mind, and there were also many who felt that they were strong enough and had amazing luck, so they couldn't resist the temptation to take advantage of the situation.
It was said that when the auction started that day, the entire "square" was blocked to the point where not even a drop of water could trickle through. Although the first few items were rare treasures, no one paid attention to them. In fact, under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of experts, no one dared to make a bid.
Why is it said that? It would be foolish of me to step into a pit that I had dug. Not only did I not go there myself, I even strictly ordered all of my subordinates to go to the scene. At the same time, I raised the alert level of the camp and activated all equipment that could increase the camp's defense. Everyone wore their armor and rested, ready for battle at any moment.
Why? Thinking too much? Actually, it wasn't superfluous at all. Under normal circumstances, a city could only have one master. Only then would the citizens and the army know where they belonged. However, in this city, there were at least four cores.
Although they were all cities with many different species, the most foundational difference from Sulfur Mountain City was that here, the various species didn't understand each other and work hard to coexist under the same laws and decrees. Here, Dark Elves were Dark Elves, Beastmen were Beastmen, and humans were humans. Their living habits and even their residences were completely different. The orders of the various rulers were naturally limited to their own areas. If someone went to another area at night and got gang-raped or killed, in their eyes, it would be completely normal and self-inflicted.
"This isn't right, it's really wrong." Excessive isolation made living together completely meaningless. Due to the competition for survival resources, as well as the widespread racial prejudice and all sorts of misunderstandings and rumors, the conflicts between the various species only deepened.
The moment I arrived in this city, I discovered that something was wrong. A legendary city with ten thousand years of history? It sounds incredible, but if we were to continue living in isolation and friction, wouldn't it be equivalent to ten thousand years of accumulated grudges?
The countless conflicts and even destruction of this city in history proved my inference. This city's system and structure was destined to go through the cycle of "accumulating conflicts", "exploding conflicts", and "rebuilding". And now, with the gathering of the Four Great Lords, there were already enough conflicts accumulated in the Alliance Treaty. All that was left was a powerful fuse to light the fuse.
And, I just had to present the Eternal Night Scepter at this moment.
Alright, I also felt that I was courting death. But, I didn't expect that under the glamor of this city, there would be such a scene.
If this was the trigger, then when the flames of war really started, the hidden 'spectator' spies would direct the fuse to me. Then, the reason for the rise of war would be even more helpless.
"The moment the auction ended, the fool who paid ten thousand gold was split into 13 pieces and everyone got into a brawl. At that time, a Seraph threw his sword but it was blocked by a Tauren Weapon Master. The Blazing God Sword actually rebounded towards the Dark Elf Matriarch, scaring the Matriarch silly? "
"That Matriarch died? But it shouldn't have ended up like this. Did they start an all-out war just like that? Kajah is making too much of a fuss. "
"No, the one who died wasn't that Morsblight City's Matriarch Luchina Syfan. She directly pulled someone beside her to take the blame, acting as a human shield. At that time, it was a mess and the matriarchs were all slow to react Priests. In the end, she really succeeded."
"Pfft, that fellow is so unlucky?"
"Kajah's High Priestess, her heart was pierced through and she couldn't be any more dead. She instantly returned to the embrace of Rose."
If I were to take off my mask, my face would definitely be one of embarrassment. The Highest Leader of the Dark Elves in name, the illegitimate daughter of Rose, died just like that? Why did he die so mysteriously?
"Impossible, I have already warned her not to go to the scene …" My astonished voice stopped halfway. Although I did warn my 'allies' about the dangers of the auction, it would be inconceivable if they listened to my advice obediently.
"How could this be? Such bad luck? Could it be that she also had the fate of a Spearman? "
My muttering was treated as a question by the Elf spy in front of me. She nodded her head.
"My lord, please understand. In order to ensure safety in the chaos, Kajah took out the SemiGod Equipment passed down by Rose, the Spear of the Nine-headed Snake. However, the God of Misfortune doesn't treat others differently because of their position. The powerful High Priestess actually suffered such misfortune. Then, that spear was recognized by others and many people started to fight over it. Thus, there were quite a few who lost their lives. "
I was dumbfounded. This is too direct and effective.
I expected chaos but Kajah's sudden death caused this chaos to turn into a large-scale war.
An Underground Autarch suddenly died. Furthermore, she is the illegitimate daughter and High Priestess of Rose whom the Dark Elves believe in. Based on the habits of the Dark Elves and Rose's bad habits, if there isn't enough fresh blood as a sacrifice, Rose will vent her anger on everyone. Those Dark Elf matriarchs don't have the benevolence to wait for the God's punishment without sacrificing others.
Thinking about this, I couldn't help but shiver. Dark Elves are one of the main races in the Underground World. There are at least hundreds of thousands of Vance Dark Elves. If all of them start to go crazy? Perhaps, after the calamity, Vance wouldn't even need to be rebuilt.
"My lord?"
"Un? Is there anything else? "
"It's like this. Luchina Syfan caused Kajah's death. Back then, Rose cast a curse and all of the female Syfan Priests turned into Spider Elves. The position of the first family in Morsblight City is on the verge of collapse and they are weak both internally and externally …"
"You are talking about Victoria, Victoria Syfan?"
Suddenly, Eliza walks out from the back.
"Yes, Master. Victoria has made a request to me. She should be the only Rose Priest of the first family in Morsblight City, the Syfan Family, who still maintains her Elf form. Based on the traditions of the Dark Elves and Rose's rules, she should be able to be promoted to Matriarch immediately. Thus, Victoria hopes to obtain the support of Sulfur Mountain City to take control of the entire Morsblight City. Of course, she also made many promises and those conditions are indeed very attractive. Master, what do you mean? "
Based on Eliza's idea, as long as we pay a certain amount of military support, we would be able to obtain a city near Sulfur Mountain City. I have no reason to reject her but at this moment, I fell into deep thought. I am really hesitating.
What is making me hesitate isn't the matter in front of me.
"Kajah is dead and Victoria is starting to rise. Is this also the trajectory of 'history'? Could it be that the rise of the Dark Elf Empress is unstoppable? Is this also the so-called inertia of history? Could it be that the wings of this butterfly are going to be corrected by history? Could it be that all my hard work is destined to be in vain? "
If everything returns back to the starting point, then what is the point of my arrangements. In an instant, a sense of exhaustion from the depths of my soul surges up, making me feel like all my hopes are in tatters and I don't want to do anything at all.
"Lord?"
But a concerned greeting jolts me back to my senses.
It is rare for Eliza to reveal a worried expression. After knowing her for so long, this is the first time she has seen her Master, who is always full of energy, reveal such a tired look.
"Danger, danger. Don't Undead rely on their obsession to stay in this world? My greatest obsession is to change my f * cking fate. This state is too dangerous. If I were to ascend to the heavens just like that, it would be too hilarious. "I shake my head and dispel these distracting thoughts. I know that I have accidentally walked into a dead end again.
"I am just thinking too much. History has already been changed. No matter what, it is already too late for the Victoria to start now. Her personality is also much gentler than the Empress in history. Personality determines fate. She is destined to be a different person from the Victoria in history. Even with my support, it is basically impossible for her to control the entire Dark Elves 10 years ago. Perhaps, it is just fate that Victoria will not be ordinary. Since that is the case, an Elf Matriarch who is close to Sulfur Mountain City and a Dark Elf Empress who might reconcile with the surface is a good thing no matter what. "
Thus, I nod my head.
"Promise her to send a few people to take over the power left behind by the Syfan Matriarch. Just try to take over as much as possible and if there is any danger, return immediately. After this matter is settled for a while, send someone to help her return to Morsblight City to seize power. Right, pass this note to her. "
Thus, I write furiously and pass it to Eliza.
This isn't some secret plan but a double insurance against a unique target.
【Actually, there are some things that are hard to say and I shouldn't be saying them. But since we are about to part, if you don't say it out loud, I will worry about your future. You were turned into a female by the God's Punishment and you are a Priest. You should know that the God's Punishment represents the will of the true God. If the one being punished were to release the God's Punishment, wouldn't that be equivalent to slapping the face of the true God? You should know that Rose has never been a magnanimous God. There is no point in saying more, please behave yourself.】
Everyone knows that Victoria is eyeing Edwina's Belt covetously. Even if Victoria's character isn't bad, the terrible reputation of Dark Elves and Rose Priests makes it impossible to be wary of them, even if that Dark Elf is still underage.
Thus, out of consideration for Krose's safety, it is better to make an insurance. This way, in fear of the true God's wrath, Victoria should try her best to suppress the desire in her heart.
Of course, things aren't so coincidental that I can get whatever I want. Every sentence on this note is true, but when put together, it is a huge lie.
The God's Punishment is indeed related to the face of a true God. If the God of Justice were to release the God's Punishment on an evil person, a Lightning of Judgement might strike down. However, Rose's situation is really unique. Other true Gods are extremely cautious about the God's Punishment, afraid that they might accidentally kill an innocent person.
On the other hand, Rose often performs miracles in the Dark Elf City. Her incarnation has descended quite a number of times and the frequency of the God's Punishment is very high. It is just like a summer thunderstorm, coming from time to time. After it comes, the sky will clear up and everything will return to normal. Someone receiving the God's Punishment isn't news among the Dark Elves.
Based on Rose's' busy 'frequency of performing miracles, she might have already forgotten how many people she has punished. Personally, I think that even if the God's Punishment is really released, she might not even know about it. Un, so it is true that the God's wrath is released when the God's Punishment is released. It is also true that Rose isn't a magnanimous God. However, I forgot to add in the sentence 'Rose's situation is unique' and it becomes a big lie. This is a language trick that I learned from the swindler in the underground prison.
I don't think that Victoria is able to see through it. To a Priest, the will of a God is like the heavens. Although it doesn't seem to be far away and you can see it as long as you raise your head, in reality, it is impossible to get close to it. She should know the meaning of the God's Punishment to the Gods. As for what will happen after releasing the God's Punishment … Any true God's teachings won't teach you how to release the God's Punishment, nor will they tell you what will happen after releasing the God's Punishment. That would be no different from a blasphemer.
Alright, this is also for her own good. To her, to 'him' who is intending to return to the Dark Elves, this is definitely a good thing. After all, the male Dark Elves are no different from slaves to them.
Aiyo, so that they won't fight and kill each other and have a good ending, isn't it easy for me as a superior? Can I give myself an award — — 'The 10 Best Superiors Who Touched Sulfur Mountain City'?
Not long after Eliza leaves, the cheers of women and the sighs of dejection of men can be heard from outside the window. Then, I took the opportunity to decide on the topic for next week's discussion — — On the Necessity of Normalcy Orientation for Social Development.
While the outside world is in chaos, I am busy at my desk. Countless reports pass through Eliza's hands and in the end, it is up to me to make the final decision.
"The Dark Elves who lost Rose's daughter have gone mad. They desperately hope for more souls and fresh blood to help them escape from the God's Punishment. It is impossible to expect them to remember the Alliance. The Dragon Empress and the Lion Emperor won't let us off. The chaos will eventually spread to the entire city. Let everyone prepare themselves. For the position of the Autarch for the next 10 years, not only must we win this battle, we must win it beautifully. "
When I gave the final decision of the final battle, I nodded my head towards the 'secret weapon' in the room and told him to prepare for the fight.
When I stood up to prepare, I suddenly thought of a treasure that I had neglected.
"Right, what happened to Kajah's corpse?"
Yes, that treasure is Kajah's body. To a Necromancer, the body of a strong is the best material. As the daughter of Rose, Kajah's body has the blood of a true God flowing through it, making it a treasure among treasures. If I can obtain this body of a SemiGod (Different from the realm of a SemiGod), I am confident that I can create an Undead Lord who isn't inferior to any of the Original Sins.
But, the scout by the side shakes his head.
"The corpse is gone. Those Dark Elves are searching frantically but they didn't leave any traces behind. It is as if the corpse walked out on its own."
"The corpse walked out on its own? Nonsense! Wait a moment … It might really be possible. "
Isn't what I want to do now to make the corpse walk on its own? Currently, there is more than one Undead Lord in Vance. If it was any other lower-ranked Undead Senator, it would only be a waste of this rare SemiGod body. However, there is an Undead Senator who hasn't appeared in Vance for the past few days. Furthermore, she has been hoping to obtain a perfect Elf body.
"The 3rd Senator, Queen of Banshees Harloys, this is really troublesome."
The ranking of the Undead Senators is based on their strength but the top 3 and the bottom are two different things. There are even people who say that the bottom is just to make up the numbers so that the top 3 don't seem so special.
The reason why Emperor Yongye's subordinate, Gria, is able to reach the 4th position but it is impossible for her to advance any further is because the top 3 were once Emperor Yongye's' partners'. Their relationship with the Emperor is' cooperation 'and not as subordinates. Just this point alone is enough to prove that these 3 Undead Lords are extraordinary. From the history of Undead Lords, they are even the seniors of the Emperor.
Among them, the Queen of Banshees Harloys, who is ranked 3rd, was once the princess of the Ancient Elf Empire. That isn't the Kingdom of the Elves which was split into smaller countries in the future. Instead, it is the Queen of the Ancient Elf Empire who ruled over 70% of the continent during the Elf Era. She is also known as the 'All-knowing One' to praise her omnipotence in the field of Magic.
She feels a little wronged being ranked 3rd. The main reason is that the body she used previously was destroyed in the Battle of Yongye and she wasn't willing to randomly find a normal body, which resulted in her being ranked 3rd. If she really managed to obtain Kajah's body, this ranking would probably have to be redone.
"Yes, half a month ago, there were quite a number of people who reported hearing the Ancient Elf's epic song 'Twilight of the Gods'. However, no one was able to find the singer. This is basically her symbol, which is why some people guessed that the Queen of Banshees has already arrived here. That is why even though there are 6 Undead Senators here, only 5 of them have appeared. "
"Yeah, if it is her, it would really be troublesome. She isn't easy to deal with at all. "My muttering received the nod of approval from the Elf observer in front of me.
"Yes, she is indeed famous for her intelligence, strength, and charm …"
"Wait! How do you know that the song is called 'Twilight of the Gods'? That should be the Ancient Elf Language. There aren't many people in the entire Aichy who can understand it!! "
My astonished question made the Elf secret agent in front of me smile. She slowly takes off the mask on her face.
That is a familiar face, so familiar that I just met her two days ago …
The High Elf's white skin starts to turn dark and her red hair starts to turn into the unique silver-white color of the Dark Elves. That beautiful face that belongs to Kajah becomes more mature and confident than before. That pair of willowy eyebrows slightly raise and her face is filled with the pride and confidence unique to Elves. She looks as though she is a queen who has everything and has the natural ability to look down on everything.
"Yo, long time no see. Little Yongye, how have you been recently?"
