Lord Ostia, start by capturing the Dark Elf Knight alive

She is Aurica Discordya, the proud dark elf queen who makes a deep impression with her silky black hair and listless expression. Pure dark elves are extremely rare, even rarer than high elves.

The Black Queen believed that the Dark Elves were a very noble race and looked down on other races. However, due to her proud character, she would not express her likes and dislikes openly. Therefore, under her command, there were also strong men from other races who were loyal to her.

As a sorcerer who has enhanced his physical abilities several times beyond those of monsters, he possesses rare abilities and is the instigator of the war that has lasted for hundreds of years.

However, the Black Queen, who usually seemed a little listless, had a hint of anger in her eyes today. It was obvious that Her Majesty the Queen was in a very bad mood today.

At this moment, in the palace below the throne, a large group of beings, who were called monsters by the human side, were kneeling there.

Vampires, werewolves, ogres, goblins, all kinds of monsters, at this moment, completely restrained their brutal natures, and behaved like well-fed orange dogs, not daring to move at all.

The Black Queen's aura was so terrifying that even the mere leakage of her aura was enough to make their souls tremble.

In front of the Black Queen, a figure covered in a black robe looked at the people below and asked in a cold voice. Judging from the voice, this was a cold young woman, but her face and figure could not be seen clearly because she was covered in a black robe.

"Why did it take so long for the news from Khanduras to reach us? Akado, you are in charge of Khanduras, right? Why was it breached?"

This sentence made all the monsters present tremble and dare not speak. Even the powerful vampire prince Akado turned red at this moment and dared not speak. Well, vampires usually have white faces, and the appearance of blood color can only mean one thing, that the unfortunate child was frightened to the point that the capillaries on his face burst.

This is the state that a vampire will enter when they are extremely frightened, because it means that they can no longer control the flow of their own blood. All the power of a vampire comes from their blood, and the state where they can't even control their instincts shows how frightened they are.

"My lady, I was carrying out your orders and searching for materials to make the divine potion for you."

"I wasn't in Khanduras at the time, so please, please forgive my mistake!"

Vampire Prince Acardo was kneeling on the ground at this moment, his voice trembling a little. Vampires were also an extremely proud race, and being able to say such words at this moment was already the limit.

This matter really can't be blamed on him. If he was in Khanduras, it is estimated that there would be no subsequent events. With two legendary masters as guards, even if they can't beat Walter, who is at the peak of the legendary level, they can still take Lilia away.

"Humph!"

The Black Queen snorted lightly, and the terrifying dark magic pressed the Vampire Prince to the ground. The overwhelming force made it impossible for him to move at all.

Even though the blood in his body was surging like waves at this moment, the terrifying pressure still prevented him from getting up.

“How many were found!”

It was unknown how long it had been before the voice of the Black Queen Olika came from above, and the horrible pressure also dissipated. The vampire prince Akado only felt that every drop of blood in his body was shaking and trembling.

He knew very well that the Black Queen was considering how to punish him. If he did not find the ingredients for the bottle of divine potion, or if he found very little, it would be difficult for him to leave today unscathed.

Fortunately, he did not go out without gain this time. Everything needed for the divine potion was extremely rare. The Black Queen had ordered her monsters to plunder the territory of the Seven Shield Alliance over the years, and she was also searching for these things.

"I found the black lotus you asked us to search for. However, there was a giant dragon guarding it. I was unable to defeat it and only got three petals for you."

Vampire Prince Akado did not dare to hide anything. Although he was also a legendary master, facing the peak demigod Black Queen, he was no different from a mortal. After hearing Akado's answer, not only the others, but even the Black Queen sitting on the throne restrained her slightly lazy state.

You know, black lotus is a natural treasure of this world and is often used for mental strengthening. The most powerful product is the legendary short-term divinity potion. Under the short-term divinity of twenty seconds, the user possesses nearly endless mental power and is immune to all human spells. That thing is absolutely the most lethal of killing weapons. It can kill anyone who stands in its way, and it can kill people to death just by staring at them with its eyes.

The Black Queen needs this kind of short-lived divine potion to ensure that she will not be ambushed during the weak period after igniting the divine fire.

To a demigod, lighting the divine fire is both an opportunity and a danger. Regardless of whether it succeeds or fails, it will enter a period of weakness during which it will not even be able to mobilize its own magic power, and its full strength will be reduced to a fraction of what it was.

If she didn't have enough power to protect herself at that time, one can imagine what would happen to her.

Even though these monsters were servile and subservient to her now, if she became weak one day, they would be the first to rebel. Because of this, she did not trust any creatures other than dark elves.

"You have put in a lot of effort to find the black lotus. I will not punish you this time. Go down."

As one of the main ingredients of the divine potion, the Black Lotus is very precious. The Black Queen is well aware of it. If the other party is not in Khanduras in order to seize this thing for her, she cannot punish him in any way.

Hearing the Black Queen's words, the vampire Prince Akado breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, then slowly stepped back, not daring to make the slightest sound until he left the Black Queen's palace.

At this moment, he was extremely grateful that he had really found the very important medicinal materials, otherwise he would have died here today.

He knew very well that the matter of Khanduras was far from simple. The Black Queen valued only the Dark Elves, and they were all dispensable pawns to her.

But Khanduras fell into the hands of the Queen, the most valued Knight Commander, and the bloody massacre of Ji Chloe! Moreover, the material used to refine the divine potion for the Queen, Lilia, was also taken away.

Chapter 25 Results of the Interrogation

"Huh, I finally got it out through torture."

Odis walked out of the basement a little tired. Three full days had passed since he went to the basement to see Chloe. During these three days, he tried his best and finally made Chloe fall asleep.

Yes, he slept with her, but this method, I guess only he, who inherited the blood of the ancient red dragon, would dare to do it alone. If it were Wolfe, Chloe would probably have appeared in the military whore camp by now.

After all, creatures like dark elves will understand everything.

Luka looked at her own master with some distress, thinking, how about getting something to nourish the master? Who can stand it for three consecutive days? The master was so brave, I can only say that I usually do too little.

"Sir, you don't have to work so hard. As for the dark elves, I think you can let the mercenaries handle it. Compared with you, they are more professional."

Luca was particularly confused as to why the dark elf was not handed over. If this matter was handed over to Wolfe's group, it would not take Odis three days to pry open the dark elf's mouth.

"No, this matter cannot be handed over to them. It's not that I don't trust them, but this secret must be controlled by me personally." During the past seven days, apart from the necessary government affairs, Otis has been in the basement, interrogating Chloe.

When he was away, Luca took over the training. During these three days, I can’t say much about other things, but the bed sheets had been changed dozens of times.

"But, sir, I know it too."

Luca lowered her head. This kind of secret was not something a servant like her could know. She was even prepared to die for Odis. After all, only the dead could truly keep secrets. No, in this world, the dead might not be able to do that either. It would be best if the soul was destroyed as well.

"It's okay. I believe in little Luca."

Odis thought, if I don't even trust you, a person with 100% loyalty, I really don't know who I should trust in this world. Well, Luca is now 100% loyal, and she will never refuse any request from Odis.

Hearing Odis' words, Luca lowered her head slightly, her face a little hot. That shy look made Odis, who was in the sage state, a little moved. However, this move was only fleeting, and he now had to make a choice.

That is whether to keep Lilia and Chloe. The Black Queen wants to make a divine potion, and Lilia's holy light is an indispensable material, and Chloe... Although she is about to be broken by her, the Black Queen will not give up such a loyal dark elf.

I'm afraid the Black Queen, who received the news, has sent an army on the way to recapture the enemy.

"Luka, go find Amber and ask her to send a letter to the Seven Shields Alliance, saying that the Black Queen is about to launch a dark turmoil and ask the Seven Shields Alliance to be prepared."

"Also, notify the Elven Kingdom separately that the Black Queen has secretly captured the Knight Princess Lilia, who is also known as White Jasmine."

"Notify the Dwarven Kingdom. I will exchange a large amount of rare metals for weapons and bows and arrows."

"Notify the Orc King......"

"Notify the Mage Kingdom..."

------------

The Seven Shields Alliance, the First Fortress, the headquarters of the Knights of Saint Iris.

The blonde Iris Princess Knight Alicia Alcutorus was looking at a report in her hand with a frown on her face. This was the report from the spy that the Kingdom of Eos had planted in the territory of the Knight King in the north.

The Knight King was about to take the final step. That kind of pressure could only be possessed by a demigod.

But how old is he? Less than 30 years old, a demigod under 30 years old, who would believe this? She herself is also a brilliant genius, at the age of 23, she already has legendary strength, but compared with the Knight King, the gap is still too big.

I originally thought that even if he had the chance to reach that realm, it would take at least two hundred years.

Well, if nothing unexpected happens, a human legendary master can live for at least a thousand years, and a legendary master of a long-lived race like the elves can live for at least ten thousand years. As for demigods? As long as they are not killed, they can basically not die.

This news is definitely not a good thing for the human countries. A powerful kingdom has appeared in the north. Although it has not infringed on the interests of these human kingdoms at present, in the long run, a kingdom with a demigod king will inevitably have a great impact on the human countries in the future.

This is a huge piece of cake. The human kingdom now has no demigods, and even the legendary masters are no more than two hands. Among these masters, the Seven Shield Alliance already has three.

In this era where legends have reached their peak and demigods are legends, the appearance of a human demigod will completely disrupt the world. Those politicians and ambitious people will all focus on the already unstoppable Knight King.

"Send this information to Madam Claudia Rebontaiying. Also, inform Princess Kazuki and ask her to come to me to discuss countermeasures."

Not only did the humans receive the news, the elves and dwarves also received the news. Compared to the humans, Celestine Lucullus, the high elf who was worshipped as the reincarnation of the goddess, was also looking at the information in her hand with some uneasy feelings.

Celestine is a kind high elf with long golden hair, white skin, and plump breasts. She likes peace and thinks war is a sad thing. Therefore, the people of Eos regard her as the reincarnation of the goddess Leliantia, who is widely believed by them.

He is admired, respected and loved by all the people of the Seven Shields Alliance.

Walking to the balcony on the third floor of the castle, Celestine looked towards the north with the intelligence in her hand. Was that human really going to take that step? The elves, like humans and dwarves, did not have demigods to keep them in check, and she was only close to being a demigod.

In that year, an unknown disaster caused almost all the demigods and gods in this world to disappear from the world, never to be seen again. Whether it was the elf priests, orc shamans, dwarf godsmiths or human saints, none of them could get in touch with the gods they believed in.

As a high elf who had lived for many years, she had seen too many ambitious humans. And a human demigod with great power who could almost live forever was too dangerous for the elves.

It can even be said that the future may be a catastrophe. Maybe now, the other party does not have that idea, but what about the future? Celestine did not dare to gamble on the unknown future. Thinking of this, the eyes of the legendary reincarnated goddess began to turn cold.

Chapter 26: Dark Magic's Erosion of the Land

Northland, Shivaash Territory, reception room of the city lord's mansion.

"It seems that those people have already known about my bloodline going berserk."

Odis, who was looking at the intelligence recently transmitted by various countries, said to himself that all this intelligence was collected by the intelligence organization under Amber. He once asked Amber how these things were collected. Amber said that the Thieves Guild has always been engaged in the work of buying intelligence.

Most of the people in Amber's hands are orcs, so they are not suitable for obtaining intelligence on the human side. Therefore, intelligence on the human side can only be obtained through the Thieves Guild. Fortunately, the Thieves Guild has always had a good reputation, and the intelligence it provides has never been wrong.

After all, the Thieves Guild is famous for only caring about money. As long as you pay, everything else is fine. And Odis is not short of money, but supplies. Every time Wolfe goes out to rob, he can always find a lot of money from the monsters' lairs.

But the problem is that real gold and silver cannot be eaten. In order to restrict the development of Odysseus, the Seven Shields will not provide too many things. They will basically give as much salt, iron and grain as they can.

The material embargo has forced Odis to become self-sufficient as soon as possible.

"Eos, are you planning to marry me? That's interesting. They know they can't fight back, and the king only has one princess, so they're planning to marry me. And the requirement is probably that the child born to Princess Kayue and I must inherit the throne."

"That's a good calculation."

Odis sneered at the tricks of the nobles in this world, saying that they were all left over from the old ancestors and had no technical content at all. It must be said that in the feudal era, his ancestors were really powerful.

"There's no movement from the dwarves, but they lowered the price they're trading with me. They should be trying to get a better deal with me."

"I didn't expect that the one who was most eager to take action was the elf."

There was a sneer on Odis's lips. The elves have never been a kind and pure race. They were a race that once ruled the continent. The so-called kindness and peace now are just an illusion caused by humans' counterattack and they were pushed back into the forest.

There is no race that is inherently good, and there is no race that is inherently evil.

Angels can fall from heaven, and succubi can also have holy knights. This is the nature of living beings.

Just as Odis was thinking about how to deal with the possible problems with the elves, the door of the reception room was suddenly pushed open. Ram, one of his twin maids, ran in hurriedly.

This maid was sent by Odis to be a guide to the Demon Lady a day ago. Well, there are not many people in this world that he can trust.

The creatures he summoned were naturally among them. As for the other twin maid, Rem, he arranged for Iwanaga Kotoko, hoping that the two women, both of whom were a little scheming, could get along well.

"Ram? What happened?"

In Odis's opinion, there must be a problem that caused Ram to run over so anxiously. After all, he knew Ram's character very well. Unlike her sister, Ram was a more mature sister type and would complete the tasks he assigned her very seriously.

"Lord Odis, Ms. Funai has discovered a big problem. Please go over and discuss it immediately."

Ram's face turned pale at this moment, as if something big had really happened, which made Odis alert immediately. Funai, that is the Demon King's daughter, is not an ordinary person. Although her fighting ability is not good now, her eyesight is still there. If she finds any big problem, it is very likely to be true.

"We'll talk as we go. What happened?"

Odis stood up without any nonsense, and then found that his lower body was a little cold, and then he remembered that Luka was still downstairs. At this moment, Luka was not stupid, and immediately stretched out her little hand to help Odis tidy up his clothes. The two of them walked out of the reception room together under Ram's unsurprised eyes.

"Ms. Funai went to the farm outside the city to check it out. She wanted to know about the planting and harvest of potatoes."

"So I followed your orders and took her to the farm to ask the farmers these days. Then, when she went to the fields to learn farming, Funai discovered that the land here was being eroded by dark magic. If this continues, the entire North will become a barren land."

"Ms. Funai speculated that the Black Queen's power might be leaking out, but we don't know whether it was an accidental leak or whether it was intentional."

"So, she hopes you can find some people who are proficient in magic to investigate together. If the source of this dark magic is really the Black Queen, then you must make a decision as soon as possible."

As they walked, Ram explained to Odis what the demon king Funai had discovered. It must be said that as a former demon king, Funai's keen perception of dark magic far surpassed Odis and all his subordinates.

Odis basically believed 80% of Miss Demon King's judgment, and the remaining two levels were due to the possible differences in the world.

"Luca, send a message to Miss Astrid Flamel immediately. I need her help, and..." At this point, Odis took a deep breath and said, "Invite Archbishop Eleonora Beren of the Holy Aurelia Kingdom to come to the Siwaash Territory to discuss the establishment of a church here."

To be honest, Odis actually doesn't like Catholicism, but as the only organization in the world that controls light magic, Odis must also pull the other party in at this time.

It is too difficult to purify the land eroded by dark magic. As a dragon vein sorcerer, Odis actually has the ability to cast spells, but the problem is that his spellcasting ability is a sorcerer's, and casting spells based on blood is limited. He can only cast spells contained in his blood.

And his bloodline comes from the ancient red dragon. Those who know that thing know that a pure evil dragon may have a way to save people? If the ancient red dragon takes action, it will probably abandon this area and develop in another place. You said that the owners of other places don't agree? Stupid, you won't kill him?

"Understood, sir, any other instructions?"

"Let Brother Wolfe's wizard Keen come over. He's a spellcaster and already a quasi-legend. Maybe he can figure out something. Forget it, let Brother Wolfe and his two men come together."
