Real elves vs fake elves

"I will give you the coordinates of the Shadow Realm and the Wind Realm. With your identity, once you reach there, you will be able to meet the tyrants of those two places."

"Don't worry about not being able to meet them. Just like me meeting you now, your existence itself can distort all kinds of elemental realms. They will naturally be attracted to you. This is not something they... or we can resist. It is closer to an instinct."

So now that we're meeting you, all the responsibility is on us?

"Okay, although I am very happy about this meeting and conversation, can you please leave? I have something important to do. Part of the defense line I set up has been exposed to madness, and I must dispel the madness in time. Even if I don't like those other tyrants, I don't want to follow in the footsteps of those two lunatics."

Since the other party had issued an order to expel them, Aenarion had no time to waste and directly led Yashan Weng and Ying Lao away from this place.

Although Shadow Man didn't say a word from beginning to end, and was not discovered by anyone present, he was indeed here, it's just that he was not easy to find.

After returning to the Golden Forest, looking at Aenarion who remained silent, Yashan finally tried to open up some topics tentatively.

"Sir, you..."

"Bright stars."

Aenarion interrupted the other party's next words with a direct sentence. He kept looking up at the sky of the Golden Forest, which was full of stars.

It was also at this time that he discovered a problem.

Apart from the present world, it seems that only the Golden Forest has a sky full of stars?

Although he had not been to many worlds, he had seen the Netherworld many times, and there were definitely no such things as stars in the Netherworld, let alone in those worlds.

Shining Star Great Consciousness, what does this title represent?

Do I have some remarkable background?

Then why don't I know this at all?

“Madness…”

Aenarion spoke again, and this time he interrupted Yasan's words.

"Is it the same kind of madness as in the Golden Bell Royal Court?"

The relationship between the Phoenix Court and the Golden Bell Court is still quite good. With the prosperity of economic and trade relations, the exchanges between the two courts are also deepening. The elven caravans no longer regard those ghouls with abominable roars as monsters, and those ghouls often take out various "musty delicacies" to warmly entertain the caravans that bring them large amounts of supplies and wealth.

But there are disadvantages as well. The elven merchants who often go to the Golden Bell Court will gradually be infected with the terrible madness. Their consciousness will become blurred, their cognition will gradually change, and even the ghouls in their eyes will appear as monsters, and the elves will overlap with each other in a terrifying way.

Once infected with this madness, one will need to go to the Phoenix Temple and undergo several rounds of baptism before it can be completely removed.

And now I hear the term "madness" again. Although they are not from the same world, it is hard to guarantee that there is really no connection between the two kinds of madness.

Chapter 11 Development Plan is also a Strategy Plan

While thinking about the next plan for the Phoenix Court, Aenarion took out a piece of paper and began to write as he thought.

First is the elemental world, which is an effective opportunity for the elves to strengthen themselves. By signing a contract with elemental creatures, the elves' combat effectiveness can be effectively enhanced.

To enhance the risk resistance of the elves and even the world.

If you want to fight for the elemental world, you have to deal with several tyrants in the elemental world and the recent "madness" incident.

Before, Aenarion thought that those tyrants were difficult to deal with, but judging from the attitudes of the mountain tyrants, they were actually quite reasonable.

On the contrary, I really don’t know what this latest “madness” is all about, which is really a bit confusing.

Next is the Golden Bell Royal Court. The sleeping god of death there is not someone to be trifled with. The game hints both explicitly and implicitly that once the entire world is destroyed, this god of death will awaken. At that time, he will not only be the god of death of this world, but the lady of death of the entire underworld.

What's even worse is that the biggest cheat code for the Undead Overlord in the third film was obtained from Ms. Death, which is not really good news.

For the golden finger of this big boss, either find a way to prevent him from getting it, or find a way to get it in your own hands.

Aenarion naturally thought that it would be a good thing to add another god of death to the elves, but since it was just an idea at the moment, even the wisdom of a big guy didn't know where to start, so this idea was ultimately just an idea, and he was still in the stage of figuring out what to do.

Finally, there is the final boss of the third part, the Undead Overlord.

The main theme of this boss is the same as the previous two bosses. They are all the kind of people who want to fight against fate, but ultimately have to succumb to it. The invisible hand of the god of greed plays with the fate of these people at will, making them perform tragic and ridiculous farces like clowns.

Faced with the God of Greed's ability to play with time and fate at will, both the protagonists and Aenarion were helpless. The main reason why Aenarion did not interfere with the fate of these two before was that he knew that no matter how hard he tried, all his efforts would be in vain as long as the God of Greed fiddled with the timeline a little bit.

But now, now Aenarion felt that he could give it a try.

It is highly unlikely that he could pull the protagonist of the third part to his side, but he would surely be able to disgust the God of Greed a little more.

Just as the Phoenix King was thinking about how to deal with the tyrannical violence of the God of Greed, he suddenly raised his head and looked towards the door. Sure enough, not long after, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Following the sound, an elf pushed the door open. It was naturally Aenarion's lieutenant, Tyri.

This girl has always stayed by Aenarion's side. The big guy wanted to promote her or let her stay in a more important position for a while several times, but she refused every time.

It seemed that the woman only wanted to stay with Aenarion, and after several attempts, the Phoenix King understood her intentions and no longer forced her, allowing her to stay by his side.

"Sir, the people from the Great Cathedral are here again, and this time they brought more trade contracts."

"By the way, according to the reports from the sword masters, the people in the Grand Cathedral are also secretly contacting the dwarves."

"In addition, the remaining human nobles formed a noble alliance. On the surface, they are still cooperating with the Cathedral, but... even the youngest elves can see what these nobles are trying to do."

As this was all expected, Aenarion made no response to these questions, but simply took the copies of the trade contracts and looked at them carefully.

"By the way, something big happened in the Seven Cities Alliance."

Terry's words finally got a response from Aenarion. The big guy looked up in surprise, revealing a rare expression of disbelief.

"what's up?"

Terry: "The Fantasy City, one of the Seven Cities Alliance, was destroyed. Ever since the death of the city lord named Clemena, the city has been in a state of decline. Many of the seat mages inside wanted to restore its former glory, so they took some very, very risky actions."

"For example, a magic city that excels in illusion actually wants to carry out a magic ritual to communicate with another world."

"Lastly, I heard from the mages in charge of the investigation that all the creatures in the entire Fantasy City died. Their deaths were extremely tragic. All the blood in their bodies was drained out, and even the rats in the sewers were not spared. However, the corresponding buildings and other dead objects were not damaged at all. The entire Fantasy City was turned into a dead city, and there was no sign of life inside."

"According to the news released by the Seven Cities Alliance... or should I say the Six Cities Alliance now, the perpetrators should be the vampire race recorded in the Alien World Tome. This race once arrived in our world in ancient times... and then they met Sigma."

Aenarion: "...then they are truly unlucky."

Terry: "That's right...but there are signs that those wizards have successfully captured the perpetrator. However, this is all speculation. We don't have any evidence to confirm this speculation."

The arrival of vampires was advanced. Although in the game plot the vampires were also summoned by the Seven Cities Alliance, because of Nagash's manipulation, these wizards directly summoned an entire army of vampires. The consequence was that the entire Mage Society was almost wiped out, and Nagash also gained a powerful helper.

And now this result...is ahead of schedule, but

The harm is much smaller, and it is really hard to say whether it is a good thing or not.

Aenarion was not alarmed by the missteps in the plot, and motioned for Tyri to continue.

"And there's the necromancer you've been asking us to keep an eye on... After we got intelligence about a person very similar to the one you described, we've been keeping an eye on his every move."

"This guy has created a very promising force. We don't know how to describe it, but it's quite shocking. The potential of this force is also a bit frightening. Many colleagues believe that if this force continues to develop like this, its future potential will be very terrifying."

"Regarding your suggestion to build good relations with the other party and win them over to our camp, the important people in the White Tower are still somewhat controversial. Those who agree and those who are concerned are roughly 50-50."

Hearing these words, Aenarion became somewhat interested.

Chapter 12 The So-Called Osteotopia

The gathering place where Nagash worked was eventually named "Bonetopia", which sounds a bit like utopia.

Just like its name, thanks to Nagash's efforts, this city quickly became the city with the best living conditions for mankind.

With the continuous research and development of the necromancers, the abilities of various skeletons, zombies, and ghosts have been greatly improved, effectively replacing various jobs that only humans can do. Even slightly more complicated jobs can be completed by the necromancers. Not only that, the necromancers have also launched a compulsory education campaign that has never appeared in the human empire, allowing those talented children to receive elite mage education that would have cost astronomical sums in the past.

As for those children who are not talented, the necromancers will also give them the opportunity to receive free education, but the choice is entirely in the hands of the children and their parents. You can go to school if you like and study whatever subjects you like.

This is not only true for study, but also for work.

Because on the surface almost all jobs have been replaced by the undead, the material supply of Osteotopia can guarantee everyone's needs. Housing is free, food is free, medical care is free, and public facilities are also free. While enjoying these free services, the residents here do not need to do any labor or work. The primary and secondary industries really do not need living people to cause trouble.

Humans living in Osteotopia can do whatever they want. If they want to study philosophy, then study philosophy. If they want to study art, then study art. If they want to stay at home, then stay at home. As long as you do not violate the sacred order and laws of Osteotopia, the Necromancer will not care about you at all.

As a result, although the living standards of humans in Bonetopia are not top-notch and cannot be compared with those of elves, it is enough to attract a large number of humans to settle down. Perhaps they will be frightened for a while at the beginning because of this amazing welfare, but soon these fears will be forgotten under the comfortable life.

In today's world, it is really useless to think about things that have not happened yet. The most important thing is to live in the present.

"That sounds great. Do those humans really not have to pay any price?"

Aenarion was genuinely surprised to hear of these treatments.

These treatments are really quite good. Outside the Forest of Elf, this kind of city is simply fatally attractive to displaced people.

Compared with this, even life is nothing. After all, in times of war, the least valuable thing is a person's life.

"There is a price to pay." Tai Li answered immediately. "First of all, it's about life span. Because of the influence of the necromancer's necromancy, Bone Utopia has been dark for a long time. The natural environment and the influence of the necromancy have shortened the life span of the humans living there."

"Secondly, although they don't need to do any work before they die, their bodies will be resurrected by the necromancy spell and become a gear in the city. Under the blessing and transformation of the necromancy spell, these bodies will never stop doing their best for the development of the city. Even if they are seriously damaged, they can be disassembled into parts to supplement other undead. Even if they are completely decayed, they can still serve as the foundation of the city."

"Enjoy life and work after death, this is osteotopia."

If it were during the heyday of the human empire, this heretical act of desecrating corpses would surely have been met with a great deal of dissatisfaction and resentment, and the necromancers might have been put to the stake long ago.

But what era is this?

Civilization is broken, and the future is uncertain. After eating one meal, we don’t even know where the next meal will come from. For most people in this world, this world has no future and hope.

Now that such a huge bone topia is in front of them, how can people not flock to it?

"This is why people are cautious. Those who want to cooperate are because of the potential shown by Bone Utopia, and those who are afraid are because of this power model that they have never seen before. This newly emerged force is really too strange."

Aenarion: "Still focus on contact and showing kindness, but don't be too deliberate. This Nagash still needs to be observed."

After all, with the name of Nagash, we really have to be on guard. Who knows if something outrageous will happen because of the curse of the name.

"I have basically decided on the next strategy. If an emergency occurs, we will draft a charter through the Council of Five Hundred."

“Recently I

I will be away for a while. Since this is an incident related to the underworld, even I cannot estimate the approximate time. Remember to take good care of the house."

After giving the instructions and saying a few more words, Tai Li turned around and left.

The Phoenix Court is now run quite well by Aenarion, and nothing will go wrong even if the Phoenix King himself leaves for a while.

And what could possibly go wrong in this situation?

Could it be that the vampire who destroyed a city has come to the Elf Forest? (rhetorical question)

The vampire who was killed by the wizard and lost half his life went to the Elf Forest. (Declarative sentence)

At the beginning, this vampire was very arrogant in the Fantasy City. After all, it was really hard to compare with vampires in terms of illusion alone. Even the rapid development of human illusion only started after Sigma killed the vampire lord and revealed a bunch of vampire magic books.

To put it bluntly, human illusions are far inferior to those of vampires, so it is reasonable for them to be directly defeated.

Then aren’t these two old-school magicians, Destruction and Summoning, here we go…

The baron was first hit by a full expulsion and almost died on the spot, and then a round of elemental explosions hit his face directly, and he was bombarded for half an hour. Even with the vampire's extraordinary recovery ability and the blood that drained an entire city, this guy almost died here.

Now, not only did I not make any money on this trip, I even lost everything.

The panicked vampire baron ran quickly in the grove, feeling even more terrified but more resentful.

"Damn it, I was careless. But it doesn't matter, I still managed to test the depth of the creatures in this world. In terms of personal strength, no one is my opponent. They just rely on their numbers..."

Before he finished speaking, the Vampire Baron sensitively cast an invisibility spell on himself and immediately stopped all functional reactions of his body, even slowing down the functioning of his brain.

Now, he looked more like a corpse than a corpse, and an invisible corpse. He didn't know why he did this, and he didn't know where the enemy came from, but he believed in his keen insight, because this insight had saved him many times.

Chapter 13 The Big One is Coming (Confirmed)

Quiet……

Quiet……

Surprisingly quiet...

Just when the Vampire Baron began to doubt whether his intuition was wrong, several voices from nowhere suddenly rang out.

"The location has been confirmed to be safe, and no high-threat creatures have been found."

"Confirm that the location is safe. A high-threat creature has been discovered."

"This is confirmed, you can pass."

"Nothing unusual here."

These voices made the Vampire Baron so frightened that his heart and liver were broken.

Because these sounds seemed to appear out of thin air, and within the range of his observation ability, there should be no living creatures in those places. Even if they were stealthily moving, it was impossible for there to be no biological reaction at all.

And the sounds they make... don't even make it possible to identify the exact direction!

With horror in his heart, the Vampire Baron made his already negligible aura even fainter, to the point where even a dead person would be more energetic than him.

"Begin deployment. We must not allow any mistakes to occur here."
