North Wind Tower, Treasure Vault.
A small mountain of gold was casually piled up on the ground. There were all kinds of gold coins, gold bricks, gold products, and countless gems. At this moment, countless gold coins suddenly slid to the surroundings. A ferocious-looking giant climbed up from the mountain of gold. The fiery-red scales emitted a metallic luster. The ferocious-looking bone spikes all indicated that this giant beast was very dangerous.
"Strange, why do I suddenly feel like I've become stronger?" Onyxvia shook her head. "Forget it, let's not think about it. It's a good thing to become stronger. Let's go back to sleep."
A rain of gold slid down, and the red dragon once again lay down on the mountain of gold and fell asleep.
In the military camp's horse farm, tens of thousands of horses were leisurely grazing and running. A strange energy swept past, but most of the horses didn't have any reaction. Only a few horses seemed to have felt something. They raised their heads to look back, but they didn't discover anything.
In the palace's luxurious stable, the pegasus that was eating suddenly quivered. It then raised its head to look around. In the end, other than a gentle breeze, there was no other movement. The pegasus snorted and then lowered its head to continue eating.
After the construction of the Qilin Pavilion was completed, a peculiar energy swept out from here and instantly enveloped the North Town City. Soon after, it disappeared. After Su Lun sensed that there wasn't any abnormality, he left the Qilin Pavilion. All the spectacular buildings in the North Town City were guarded by specialized personnel, and this place was naturally no exception.
Although these buildings were magic buildings and were sturdy, it didn't mean that they couldn't be destroyed. In order to protect these buildings, Suhlen arranged guards around the buildings.
The sky gradually darkened. The early spring weather was still a little cold. The ice and snow melted, and North Town City was about to start the spring plowing. When Suhlen returned to the palace, only Angela and his two personal maids were here.
Kris had returned to the underground world. A few of the harpies were about to transform, and Alex had gone over to take care of them. Hathaway was still in North Wind Tower to continue her research. Phyllis was in San Filto City. In the end, no one had time to accompany him for a meal.
"Where are Boulder, Johnson, and Karina?" Suhlen passed the cape to Angela and asked.
"The two generals have yet to return from clearing out the bandits. Her Excellency Kalina went to hold a ceremony today. Today is the birthday of the Dark Maiden Elisabeth. The Dark Elves who believe in the Dark Maiden would usually hold a ceremony on this day." Angela said.
"Sacrificial ceremony?" Suhlen was stunned for a moment before he realized what was going on. He remembered that Karina had made a request to him after she returned from quelling the rebellion. The Night Elves wanted to resume their sacrifice, and Suhlen had agreed to it because he was thinking about other things.
"I didn't expect it to be ready so soon!" Suhlen nodded. In the past few years, the Night Elves under his protection were no longer hunted down by others. Their lives had also stabilized, so they picked up the sacrificial ceremony that they had been forced to give up in the past.
Suhlen basically would not reject such a request. This was not a sacrifice to an evil god. Besides, the Dark Maiden had already fallen. In Suhlen's eyes, this was more of a remembrance. Since it would not cause any harm and could gain their favor, why not?
"Your Majesty, dinner is ready. Do you want to eat now or wait a while?" Annie asked.
"Let them serve it up!" Suhlen said.
Dinner was very simple. Suhlen did not emphasize too much on the details of the ceremony. Besides, this was not a formal banquet. Dinner was roasted whole lamb, fruit and vegetable salad, and a bowl of mushroom tripe soup prepared by Frodo.
The lamb was fresh and tender. After being roasted by Frodo's Master Chef and sprinkled with a layer of spices, it tasted great. After dinner, Suhlen thought about the drows' sacrificial ceremony and suddenly wanted to see it for himself.
Since he wanted to do it, Suhlen gave some instructions. Then he rushed directly to the gathering place of the drows in the city. The gathering place of the drows was in the inner city. It was a separate market. The residents living in the inner city were basically Suhlen's followers or their relatives.
This place was big enough for them to arrange their own residences according to their own preferences. Just like the half-elves, they would usually plant all kinds of trees around their houses. Every house would plant a few purple fir trees and oak trees, so their residences looked like a forest.
The living quarters of the barbarians were simple. In addition to the houses, there was a large drill ground. These energetic guys liked to wrestle in the drill ground. The residence of the drows was not far from the left side of the palace. Their residence was not much different. Some green trees were planted on the periphery, but there was a small altar in the center of the residence.
Suhlen came to the gathering place of the drows. At this time, the moon was already in the middle of the sky. A bright silver moon appeared in the sky, and the whole city was plated with moonlight. At this time, a melodious song came from inside. Suhlen hesitated and did not knock on the door. He was late this time. The sacrificial ceremony had already begun.
In a flash, Suhlen went directly into the market. The drows in the market gathered near the central altar square. Suhlen came to the square quietly. As soon as he arrived, Suhlen was shocked by the scene in front of him.
Under the silver-white moonlight, the entire square became a little hazy. Several drow girls on the altar were almost naked as they danced under the moonlight. The silver-white moonlight shrouded their bodies, and their smooth and tender skin slightly reflected a fluorescent light. Their ankle-length silver hair was like silver light spilling to the ground.
These drow girls had curvaceous figures and wore tulle. They danced in the moonlight. From a distance, they looked as beautiful as a group of fairies under the moon. The surrounding believers formed a circle under the altar and sang. After a song ended, another drow girl would begin to dance. Suhlen soon found Karina.
As the family master of this group of drows, Karina was also the priest of Dark Maiden Elisabeth. She was also the chief priest. And compared with the other drows, Karina's figure was more voluptuous. Her long silver hair reached her ankles, and her body was almost naked. But the silver hair just covered the parts of her body. A black tulle was wrapped around her waist, showing a trace of mystery under the night light.
Her slender thighs, smooth and tight skin, delicate facial features, and the perfect curves on her body made people's hearts burn. The light dance was intoxicating. With Karina's dance, the whole sacrificial ceremony reached its climax.
The silver-white moonlight shrouded the altar, and her curvaceous body looked magnificent under the moonlight. Her silver-white hair fluttered in the wind, making people's hearts sway. However, her song carried a trace of sadness and sorrow that couldn't be dispelled. It was very intoxicating.
In fact, if the Dark Maiden hadn't fallen, she would have bestowed power to her followers. Unfortunately, this deity had already fallen. She died in the hands of her mother, the Spider Queen Lolth. It was said that her fall was completely a conspiracy, and a few traitors played a very important role in it.
Suhlen felt sorry for this god. Although she was a drow, she was a kind god. She protected the kind races in the underground world, and with her fall, the kind races in the underground world would soon be swallowed up and destroyed.
The reason why Spider Queen Lolth killed her was to completely integrate the spiritual beliefs of the drows and then find an opportunity to become a powerful god. The master of the Realm of Demons, the schemer in the multiple planes, finally succeeded. After many years of planning, Spider Queen Lolth successfully promoted to a great divine power in the battle of Spider Queen.
Suhlen still had a good impression of the Dark Maiden. This young goddess could only be said to be a tragedy from the moment she was born.
The Dark Maiden, Elisabeth, was a god of the good alignment. Her nickname was the Dancing Lady. She lived in the plane of the elven gods and the pit magic network. Her clergy was singing, beauty, dancing, swordsmanship, hunting, and moonlight. The elven gods did not have a good impression of her. The Goddess of Magic, Mystra, and Suhlen, the Lady of Silver Moon, were her allies.
She was not a very powerful god, and her position was quite awkward because she was the daughter of the Spider Queen, Lolth. However, her nature was not evil at all. On the contrary, she could be said to be quite kind. Therefore, she had been against her mother for a long time, and most of the time, she lost more than she won. In the end, she died in the hands of her mother.
This goddess represented the remaining good of the drows. Her fall also meant that the race had completely fallen into evil.
Suhlen and Elisabeth still had some common interests. For example, both of them liked music and dancing. However, Suhlen liked to listen to others sing and dance, while Elisabeth liked to sing and dance by herself. In addition, both of them were lovers of naked sex. Of course, Elisabeth also liked to run around naked. This was something that Suhlen could not do. He preferred to fight naked.
Of course, Suhlen also liked this kind of sacrificial ceremony very much. From an artistic point of view, the dancing of these drows was very good. After the sacrifice, it was a perfect visual enjoyment. Suhlen was intoxicated.
With the end of the song, the grand sacrifice was also over. The moonlight still shone on the altar, but the Dark Maiden could not respond to her believers.
The drows were a little silent, but they had expected this situation. After the sacrifice, they returned to their houses. Seeing that the sacrifice was over, Suhlen also turned into the darkness next to him. After all, he came here without being invited to secretly observe the sacrifice ceremony of these drows. He could not help but feel a little guilty in his heart. After seeing that the sacrifice was over, he planned to sneak away quietly.
