Real elves vs fake elves

"During the time when we lived in seclusion underground, human magic developed to a rather astonishing level."

Seeing another prey coming out, the two elves laughed at the same time, and one of them even stuck out her tongue and licked her plump lips back and forth while laughing.

"I think we can have a good discussion about magic-related knowledge."

"You won't refuse, will you?"

Chapter 87 You call this place the Netherworld? !

According to the original idea of ​​the Seven Cities Alliance and the Commercial Union, they would send part of the army by land and part by water, and after joining together in Lothern, they would form a pincer attack to capture this newly rising star city of the elves in one fell swoop, and finally grab a fierce wave, regardless of whether it was sustainable or not, and just plunder as many slaves as possible.

However, because there was no general or other strategic commander, the top leaders did not obey each other, and most of the troops were raised by mages and businessmen with their own money. They were not familiar with each other, and the numbers of different troops varied greatly. As a result, although the human coalition was unprecedentedly large in scale, its organization was extremely loose and it was impossible to effectively unite as a force.

To put it bluntly, this time the union between the two forces magically reached 1+1. Originally, the mages were looking forward to using divination and other prophecy to unify this night raid; Group Lu, '⑤ chaotic army, so that it could have decent combat effectiveness, but after entering the Elf Forest, for some unknown magical reason, all the prophecy spells became invalid!

In a small fortress with nearly 10,000 people, several mages said nothing.

Looking at the strategic map in front of him, the flags representing the human army disappeared one by one, while the flags of the elves appeared in incredible places.

"The elves obviously want to surround us. Their goal is to kill us all." A magic master spoke. His voice was clear, like that of a young girl, but he looked old, like an ordinary old woman.

Actually, this is a man.

"This is actually an opportunity for us. The elves are no longer fighting guerrilla warfare with us. Their large-scale gathering will help us to capture their main force in one fell swoop."

"No matter what kind of failures we have encountered, no matter how many failures there are, there is one thing that cannot be refuted at all."

"That is, our army has overwhelming power over the elves."

"We can lose many times, but the elves can only lose once."

"We need an opportunity. With just one opportunity, we can turn defeat into victory and capture all the elves in one fell swoop."

"I know that the troops below us are pretending to obey our orders, and I know that due to the chaotic management, the troops below us often receive various contradictory orders."

"But it doesn't matter. We... including our army, are a group of wolves that go crazy when they see blood. After determining the target's weakness, they will rush towards their prey without even needing to be specifically commanded, and tear these damn elves to pieces."

What this ambiguous fellow said was unanimously affirmed by other magic masters. These people were so proud that they did not understand how troublesome it was to command an army in battle.

In their view, war is nothing more than two groups of people standing opposite each other on the plain, then charging at each other and then colliding with each other and fighting.

Isn't that what it seems on the surface?

Compared to profound magic, how can war be called art?!

"I will arrange a deep dive and use prophecy in the Netherworld to obtain more and clearer instructions. This is the key to our breakthrough."

"I know what you're worried about, but do you really think those missing idiots can be compared with me? They are a bunch of fools who are not even qualified to be my apprentices!"

His expression was very arrogant.

After all, according to the first law of mages, 80% of mages believe that their level is in the top 20% of all mages, and the remaining 20% ​​believe that their level is the best in the world.

………………

Diving deep into the underworld is not a difficult task for a magic master. Under the protection of several other magic masters, this ambiguous wizard successfully dived into the underworld within the scope of the Elf Forest.

Then he was absolutely stunned.

What is before one's eyes are not all kinds of twisted and dark things that challenge the limits of human imagination, nor are they all kinds of indescribable things that are enough to burst one's will, nor are there all kinds of terrifying and bizarre underworld creatures lurking in the shadows.

To put it bluntly, this place is completely different from the underworld imagined by the wizard. It does not have any of the expected underworld characteristics at all, but it still challenges the limits of human imagination.

"This... is this the Netherworld?"

The wizard hesitated to speak, feeling that all his research on the underworld over the years had been wasted.

Before his eyes was a huge forest, but it did not have the darkness caused by giant trees that was unique to primeval forests. Even though there should be no light source, this forest was emitting a reassuring golden-white light all the time.

The forest floor is covered with golden fallen leaves, and stepping on them feels like walking on the most expensive carpet, giving people a feeling of walking among the clouds. The trees one after another are not rugged or weird at all, but are full of soothing beauty, a beauty that is absolutely reassuring no matter from which perspective.

Various plants are arranged in an orderly manner. There is no sense of struggle for survival of wild growth in a real natural ecosystem, nor is there any sense of embarrassment of occupying every bit of living space in order to compete for nutrients. This place completely inherits the best side of nature, and then fades away its "dark" side such as the law of the jungle.

Although it is beautiful, it gives people a very strong sense of disharmony and unreality.

There is no such thing as "heaven" in this world, so when faced with this heavenly scenery, the wizard's expression was extremely terrified.

He finally felt that things here were completely beyond his control.

"I must..." After saying just three words, the mage's expression became even more terrified.

These three words were uttered in a clear, distinctly masculine voice, with a sense of calm and steadyness, the unique voice of a mature man.

In other words, it is definitely not a loli's voice.

To put it bluntly, this was the voice of this mage in the past.

The wizard stopped talking to himself and looked at the scene in front of him blankly. His face no longer showed the previous fear but complete disbelief. This blankness lasted for a few seconds, and then he seemed to suddenly think of something and quickly took out a mirror from his robe, but when the mirror was about to reflect his face, he suddenly stopped it, as if he was afraid to see the scene in the next second.

Stop

Stop

Like a sculpture, the wizard's entire body stopped.

Suddenly, the mirror moved up an inch, just an inch.

Law

The teacher burst into tears.

Chapter 88 Is being corrupted by order really a bad thing?

In the dense forest emitting golden light, a wizard was holding a mirror and crying.

This is a very handsome man, who seems to be in his twenties or thirties. He is in his prime, with a handsome appearance and a good figure.

But just less than an hour ago, he looked like a disgusting old woman, and his voice was distorted like a girl's, which seemed extremely weird and strange.

"I...I'm back to my original form?"

"I...so this is what I look like?!"

The dusty memories were opened up bit by bit. Although he had deliberately locked these memories deep in his mind and it felt quite slow and bitter to recall them now, his body always expressed his true emotions faster than his mind. His tears kept flowing, to the point that even he was surprised.

Why am I... so sad?

Why am I... so sad?

As a wizard who regards truth and magic as his life's aspirations, shouldn't he have long ago put aside such trivial things as appearance and emotions?

Do I actually care so much about this?

Confusion, sadness, anger and other long-buried emotions suddenly burst out at this moment. A wizard who always claimed to be an "absolutely rational person" suddenly became completely irrational. All kinds of thoughts and emotions began to influence his judgment, making it impossible for him to make a "logical" response to everything in front of him.

At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded, a very peaceful one.

"Xavi? Why are you here? I thought that after we infiltrated the Netherworld and chose not to return, a mage of your level would never choose to infiltrate the Netherworld here again."

Looking up, Harvey, the mage, saw two people walking towards him.

Strangers, yes, but strangers who somehow knew me.

Harvey: “You are…”

The two people who came over were a man and a woman. The man had blonde hair, a bright smile, and a handsome face. There was a hint of cynicism on the corners of his mouth. You could tell at first glance that he was the kind of bad boy who had a special attack on married women. He looked exactly like one of the Four Heavenly Kings in a certain world.

The woman looks like a delicate and pretty girl. She does not have the charm of a Milf, the seductiveness of a mature woman, the innocence of an otome, the cuteness of a loli, the cheerfulness of a TomBoy, or the explosiveness of a female imp. Logically speaking, her charm should be neither low nor high, but she gives people an inexplicable attraction.

Harvey: “…You are…”

Huang Mao laughed again: "You just arrived here, it's natural that you are not used to the situation here. I didn't consider it."

"I'm Steven and she's Kelly."

Harvey was stunned when he heard this, and then looked incredulous.

Steven?

That fat pig?!

Fat pig is not an insult, but Steven had a serious accident during an experiment. In order to survive, he had to merge with a pig used for the experiment and turned into a half-pig, half-human monster. Since then, he has launched a crazy revenge. He ate the conspirators who planned the explosion because they wanted to steal his experimental results one by one, and this guy also turned from a "human" into a real "monster".

And now, you tell me that this yellow-haired guy who can be seen at first glance as someone who likes to steal other people’s wives is that half-human, half-pig monster?

That's not the joke.

And then Kelly...

The pretty girl had a sweet smile on her face.

Isn't Kelly a hunchbacked, shady man with four arms?

According to legend, this girl was a "mistake" from the moment she was born. In order to prevent her existence from affecting her future, her mother threw her into the sewer after she was born. The sewers of the Seven Cities Alliance are extremely dangerous because of the dumping of various magic experiment waste. All kinds of strange things can be encountered. In such a dangerous environment, no one thought that a baby could survive.

Then, she survived.

He crawled out of the sewer like a monster.

This "monster" was spotted by a certain mage, who took it away as a mage slave and experimental subject, and named it Kelly. The result was very gratifying. Before long, Kelly ate up all the carbon-based creatures in the Mage Tower, and soon became the "Mage Rising Star" of the Seven Cities Alliance because of the various articles she published.

All in all, they are all heavyweights.

If these two can be called "human beings", then what word should be used to describe "monsters"?

Seeing Harvey's expression, the two mages smiled. There was no anger in their eyes, but instead a sense of pride as the first to arrive.

"Think about how you are now, what else don't you understand?"

Harvey was silent.

Some of it is understandable, but some of it is unacceptable.

It's not a big deal for someone like me, but isn't it a bit too much that these two can become such handsome men and beautiful women?

Kelly: "It's really too much for a guy like you, Harvey, to end up like this."

A vein on Harvey's forehead jumped, and before he could retort, a heavy sound of footsteps was heard.

Hearing this noise,

The two mages quickly turned around and saluted. Harvey didn't understand why, but he quickly did the same thing.

After all, they are all mages and smart people. It is impossible for them to just stand there like fools and do nothing.

As the three people saluted, a huge monster walked in front of the group.

This is a monster that looks like a giant bear, but it is much larger than an ordinary giant bear. It has a crest extending from its back, which looks more decorative than practical. Its head does not look like a bear, but more like a round-faced fat chicken.

That is, owl bear.

Owlbear: "Goooo."

Steven smiled and said, "As you said, he is indeed not an enemy. He no longer has any hostility. We can completely accept his existence."

Owlbear: "Goooo."

Steven turned to look at Harvey: "Lord Owlbear has given you the right to choose. Do you want to stay here or go back to help humans?"

Harvey: “…”

Looking at the other person with a look of horror, Harvey did not answer his question, but asked other questions.

"When did you learn animal communication?!"

Steven: "After staying here for a long time, you will also be able to understand what Master Owlbear means."

Harvey: "What do you mean by staying here for too long? It means you have been assimilated into this world!"

"Because you have stayed in this world for too long, you have almost been completely assimilated by this place. You have been completely eroded by this world and no longer have your true self. Instead, you have become a puppet filled with the thoughts and ideas of this world, and you are an unconscious puppet."

Steven smiled again: "You have a very good basic skill, and you memorized the knowledge points in the textbook very completely and fluently."

"But, is it really bad?"

"Is it really bad to be assimilated into this world?"

After hearing these words, Harvey was stunned.

Chapter 89: The progress of the hero's transformation into a beast is 80%

At the border of the Elf Forest, in the largest human camp.

The two mages looked at the people in front of them with haughty expressions, with disdain on their faces.

"Havi? That loser? You're comparing me to that loser?"

"Is it surprising that he got lost in the Netherworld? He should have been lost there a long time ago!"
