That was the news from a traveling merchant from the Desert of Death.
It was said that last year, the Orcs organized a war against the Evil God but suffered a crushing defeat …
Tens of thousands of soldiers were annihilated, the Orc King died in battle, and even their inherited artifact was lost.
Rumor had it that the Orcs were fighting against a group of Elves who believed in the Evil God.
They were well-equipped, numerous, brutal, and extremely powerful …
When Huo Xu heard the news, he did not believe it at all.
Elves who believed in the Evil God? Brutal and brutal? Numerous? How could they annihilate an army of tens of thousands of Orcs?
What a joke!
Even though Huo Xu was an underground resident, he knew the Elves very well.
Although the beautiful long-eared Elves were powerful, they were as gentle as sheep and were famous for their piety. How could they believe in the Evil God?
They rarely killed their enemies even when confronting them, let alone being tyrannical.
Moreover … Everyone knew that the Elves' population was decreasing. How could they have the strength to annihilate an army of tens of thousands of Orcs?
In Huo Xu's opinion, the news of the Orcs' crushing defeat should be true. After all, they had suffered many defeats in the past thousand years when they were fighting against the human empires. This time, there was an 80% chance that they were at war with the human Kingdom of Iris.
However, it was too exaggerated to say that the defeat came from the Elves and caused their entire army to be annihilated.
Impossible, absolutely impossible, it must be a rumor!
Huo Xu threw such ridiculous news to the back of his mind. He did not care, nor did he believe it.
However, when he came to Black Rock City today and saw these strange Elves … he suddenly became vigilant.
These Elves … were so similar to what was described in the ridiculous rumor!
Not only that, if Huo Xu remembered correctly, the Deep Cave where Black Rock City was located was located under the Gloom Mountain Range. It was very close to the Elven Forest and was even closer to the rumored battlefield where the Orcs were defeated!
God of Death … Could it be that the rumor was true?
For some reason, Huo Xu hesitated.
Along the way, he carefully observed these Elves and compared them with the long-eared Elves in his memory. The more he compared, the stranger and more vigilant he felt …
He had to be vigilant.
To the Silent City Alliance, the Evil Gods were a very sensitive issue. They were constantly on guard against the corruption of these fallen beings.
Hence, Huo Xu's heart skipped a beat when he realized that there might be something wrong with the Elves and that they might be related to the Evil God.
However, looking at the elves who were roaming freely in Black Rock City and the Dark Dwarves who were used to the presence of elves, Firebeard felt that things might not be as simple as he thought.
While the old dwarf was deep in thought, the group finally arrived at the Death Shrine in Black Rock City.
The higher-ups of Black Rock City were already waiting in front of the shrine, and Firebeard saw the Shrine of Death's shrine from afar — Lady Eleanor, the Chosen.
He put away his thoughts and put on a smile on his face. He beckoned the members of the diplomatic mission to present the gifts while speaking to the Dark Dwarf Shrine Master.
"It's been a long time, Ms. Eleanor. You're still as beautiful as ever … May the Grim Reaper protect you forever."
"Long time no see, Your Excellency Firebeard. May the God of Death protect you forever."
The Dwarf Temple Master bowed in return.
Then, she showed a friendly smile and said, "I've received a message from the Oracle.
"I've already received the oracle, and I know the purpose of your visit. It's been a long journey, and the shrine has arranged accommodation in a tavern. Please take a rest, and we'll continue our conversation after lunch. "
Hearing this, Firebeard felt a little hungry.
They had rushed here in a hurry, and indeed had not had a good rest or meal for several days.
After expressing their gratitude to Lady Eleanor, the diplomatic mission was led by the Dwarf guards to a brand-new tavern called 'Amway' opposite the shrine.
The tavern's exterior was plain and unremarkable, but the interior was rather exquisite and elegant.
Dwarves in exquisite maid and deacon uniforms came and went in the tavern, and Dwarf bards played relaxing and melodious music. This place was completely different from the boorish style of the ordinary taverns in the Underworld. It was very much like a noble's inn in the Surface World … This surprised the group.
After washing up and resting, they sat down at the table. The food prepared by the tavern was an eye-opener for these emissaries from the bustling Underworld.
Different from the food commonly seen in the underground world, they were served white bread that emitted a rich wheat aroma, exquisite and spicy barbecued meat, all sorts of indescribably gorgeous dishes, fragrant fruits, and a transparent wine that had a strong aftertaste but was extremely delicious.
"Oh God of Death? There's white bread in the taverns of Blackrock City? The last time I ate this was at the city's celebration! "
"Tsk … fruits! So many fruits! So sweet and crunchy! These are definitely fruits from the Surface World! "
"The barbecue here smells so good! It seems like they've added spices! They're actually extravagantly adding spices to the barbecue! "
"And wine! This is definitely the best wine brewed from grains! It has a unique mellow fragrance! "
"So Blackrock City … is this rich? As expected of an Underworld city close to the Surface World … "
The emissaries could not help but exclaim as they enjoyed the delicacies.
After all, the environment of the Underworld was harsh, and the food was monotonous and scarce compared to the Surface World. Even if they were powerful in their own city, they rarely enjoyed such delicacies.
And it was obvious that these delicacies originated from the Surface World.
However, unlike the others, Huo Xu was surprised and a little bewildered.
He had been to Blackrock City once more than ten years ago.
As far as he could remember, Blackrock City did not have such good conditions back then!
After all, Underworld cities close to the Surface World did not necessarily have developed businesses and abundant resources, because the location of the entrance to the Surface World had to be taken into consideration …
Generally speaking, only a developed civilization close to the Surface World, especially a human civilization, would bring abundant Surface World specialties to the Underworld cities close to the Surface World.
Blackrock City's entrance to the Surface World was very remote in the World of Segers. It was in the Dark Mountain Range where even birds did not want to shit …
At most, it was adjacent to the Elven Forest, where there were only magical beasts and plants left.
So, where did these abundant resources come from?
Firebeard had just noticed that they were not the only ones eating these delicacies. The dwarves in the tavern hall were also enjoying the delicacies from the Surface World!
Thinking of this, Firebeard could not help but pull back the dwarven deacon who served them and asked curiously,
"Friend, where did you get these delicacies?"
The dwarf who was pulled back by Firebeard was somewhat reserved. He first bowed, then replied respectfully and proudly.
"Sir, our tavern belongs to the Amway Trading Company. The Amway Trading Company is a trading company that we founded together with our Elven companions. Our food is all traded with our passionate Elven companions. "
Elves? Elves again?
Firebeard was slightly taken aback.
