Arcane Lord

"How dare you? How dare you? You are going against the entire family of Ozobane!"

The matriarch of a small family pointed at Malusis angrily. Normally, she would not be able to do such a move, but now she is surrounded by her allies!

"All of this is a gift from the Mother Goddess. The day of redemption is coming. I hope you will recognize the reality!"

Malusis did not pay attention to the accusations from her new companion. She even bowed her head slightly to apologize. However, she was on the steps of the altar at the moment, so this behavior was regarded as arrogance by the drow below.

"Marusis, do you really think that a little holy power can control us? You are so naive!"

This high drow mage was extremely confident in his own strength. With a look from left to right, several familiar mage immediately had a tacit understanding and unanimously cast spells in unison, hoping to capture Marousis first.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the wills of several mages resonated, before they could cast their spells, a dark holy fire burst out from their bodies, turning these mages into fiercely burning dark torches almost in a breath. .

Ah-ah-ah-

Several mages ran around in pain in the square, while other drow around them tried to avoid them. However, compared with avoiding these human-shaped torches, they were more concerned about whether they would also suffer such a fate.

Until the human-shaped torches were completely burned out, none of the surrounding bystanders were willing to stand up and lend a helping hand.

"Marusis, what do you want to do?"

In the end, it was the speaker of the ruling council of Ozobein City who stood up and questioned Marushis on behalf of all the Ozobein families.

In response, Malusis took out the Oracle again and showed it to her new companions, "Oracle: Counterattack the surface and welcome salvation!"

"..."

Crazy, really crazy, the Speaker murmured, in her opinion, the drow have already adapted to the environment of the Underdark, so why bother to find discomfort on the surface again!

The most important thing is that once the war begins, I don't know how many tribesmen will die from sunlight adaptation training without even seeing the enemy.

But her objections were ineffective!

Of course, looking at Malusis's firm gaze, the Speaker did not dare to object.

The other superiors of Ozobane were all silent at this time, as if they wanted to use silence to fight.

But this kind of confrontation is destined to be powerless. Soon a matron wearing a priest's robe stood up and said, "Be merciful to my God, the day of redemption has finally come; glorify my God? The redemption will be completed!"

traitor!

Many matrons were cursing in their hearts, but it seemed that the priests were not on the same side as them, and one of them stood up. All the matrons who were priests before stood up to support the oracle.

After all, they are all priests. Although they failed to establish a good relationship with Malusis in advance before, it is not too late now. Even for the sake of the mother goddess, Malusis will not embarrass them too much.

With the priest and mistress taking the lead? The other mistresses saw that even the last trace of "strength in numbers" was gone. What are you resisting?

So they all showed their loyalty!

…

"very good!"

Although the process was somewhat tortuous, a satisfactory result was achieved in the end. A smile broke out on Malusis's face, and she laughed loudly without any scruples. None of the matrons dared to look at her.

"Starting from tomorrow, Ozobein will enter a state of preparation for war? Welcome the day of redemption! Now, I declare that the Sanchi family has blasphemed the oracle? The crime shall be punished by death!"

The Sanchi family? Only then did all the drows realize that the matron of the Sanqi family had not gotten up from the ground. They looked around but did not find her.

We obviously attended the sacrificial ceremony together before, but now——

All the drows dare not think too much? But maybe the Sanqi family can make up for the losses suffered by their family in the upcoming battle of redemption!

…

As the entire Ozobein united the front and entered a state of preparation for war, Shado also clearly felt the abnormality of the atmosphere.

The intensity of training at the training ground has become much more intense. A drow warrior in training was beaten to death by the instructor just because he complained in a low voice.

This has never happened before. After all, the proportion of people who can adapt to sunlight training is not high, and a huge cost has been paid. Anyone who dies is a huge loss.

But now, something seems to be urging me!

Over in the courtyard, Sha Duo also sensed some subtle changes. The most obvious was that Malusis's attitude seemed to have become much stronger, and her gentle side appeared less and less often.

However, even if she is cold-hearted, she still wants Xia to give her a good beating. This is almost the only reason why Malusis came to him.

…

That day, as soon as Xia Duo returned to the courtyard residence from the library, Malusis came to the door again. Just when Xia Duo thought it was another whipping exercise, Malusis brought him the long-awaited news:

"The scout mission will start the day after tomorrow. The mission of other drow is to find a weak point in the earth line [81 Chinese website www.x81zw.cn] or cut off 100 elf ears. And you, as the servant of the Crowry family, I want to You’ve done double!”

Xia Duo naturally readily agreed, and he couldn't wait to go to the surface!

He had already had enough of staying in the Underdark for such a long time. With the magic mark of Malusis on his body, there was no possibility of free movement underground.

Only by going to the surface can we temporarily escape from the other party's control.

As for the magic mark on his body, he already had some clues about it, so he only waited until he reached the surface and immediately tried to remove it.

"I will have your weapons and equipment delivered tomorrow. You only have one day to get familiar with them! I hope you can return safely!"

At the end of the sentence, Malusis rarely showed a hint of tenderness.

Xia Duo could only respond silently.

…

Two days later.

Xia Duo and other scouts were blindfolded and transported to the entrance of an unfamiliar passage. After that, they walked a long way through twists and turns, and finally received the order to remove the blindfold.

A female instructor pointed to the diagonally upward passage ahead and said, "This is the passage leading to the surface. Go forward! I hope you can all complete the mission and return!"

Xia Duo was silent and did not say a word. In fact, except for the female instructor who just spoke, there was no noise here. There was suppressed anger and unwillingness in the team.

Even Xia Duo is no exception.

Just now at the training ground, every one of their scouts who went to the surface was given a [mission deadline] effect by several high mages through ritual magic.

If you are unable to complete the mission and return within one year, you will automatically die.

At the same time, this ritual magic also comes with a suicide effect, which is similar to using a magic scroll, except here, the body becomes an alternative magic scroll. As long as the will is touched, the body will automatically die.

As for whether there are other effects, even Sha Duo, the main plane arcanist, can't see any more.

In short, if you complete the mission and return honestly, you will survive and there will be a large reward.

Otherwise, it would be better to just commit suicide, which might be more comfortable.
