The Heartbeat of the Cruel Elves

"Turner is dead, now you should call me Archbishop..."

He repeated this sentence again, and suddenly felt that he had grasped something.

After chewing and being silent for a long time, he stared at the ceiling and said to the dark elf beside him in an extremely calm tone:

"Is it worth it to murder your compatriots for the position of a chief priest?"

The female dark elf's breathing visibly stagnated for a moment.

After a while, a cool and smooth body suddenly climbed on top of him.

The female dark elf rested her elbows on his chest, her fair and plump face still showing a very happy expression.

"Have you finally realized it?"

"However, I must correct your statement - it is not 'for', but 'for'. This is just a by-product of our plan."

Li Yin's eyes moved slightly, "But for you, he is indeed a very attractive target."

The female dark elf stared at Li Yin's eyes, and after a while, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"What's the problem?" she said.

"Not being able to do the job is a way to death."

"Not up to the task?" Li Yin repeated doubtfully.

"The duty of an instructor is to train slaves in martial arts. And the position of chief instructor should be held by the elf with the best martial arts among all the instructors, right?"

Li Yin nodded.

"How do you think Turner's martial arts compare to mine?" Myrcella asked coldly.

Li Yin said without hesitation: "He is not as good as you."

This was not meant as a compliment. Li Yin had absorbed Turner's memories, so he probably knew the other person's martial arts skills better than anyone else in the world. After fighting with Misella, he had already had an intuitive feeling that the male instructor's martial arts skills were not as good as the female instructor in front of him.

Myrcella's tense expression relaxed greatly.

"Then why was it him and not you who sat in that position at the beginning?" Li Yin asked puzzledly.

Hearing this, Myrcella's face, which had just become happy, instantly turned cold again.

She sat up straight, her face stern.

"It's all because of that jerk Harrison."

"Harrison?" Li Yin felt vaguely that he had heard this name somewhere.

"The commander of the slave camp," the dark elf rolled his eyes at him, bit his lower lip, and said angrily, "that guy is secretly a male chauvinist who believes in 'men helping men', so he used his power to promote many useless men like him who are not just officials but also idlers."

Starting with Harrison's name, some scattered memories that had not been digested before emerged in Li Yin's mind, and these memories clearly showed that although the dark elf's words were angry, they were not exaggerated.

The reason why Turner was able to become the chief bishop was indeed related to Harrison's secret advocacy of "men should unite and support each other", which is what Messiah called "men helping men".

"Don't say it was just a casual move," the female dark elf said angrily, becoming more and more annoyed. "Even if it was really aimed at him, so what?"

"He's just a useless man, so what if I kill him?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes turned, as if she had keenly noticed something.

"I'm sorry, I think I hurt your self-esteem." She lowered her head, looked at Li Yin with bright eyes, lifted his chin, and smiled with a hint of apology. But in the blink of an eye, just when Li Yin was about to say it was okay, the apology disappeared, and it came and went so quickly, like a prank, "But I'm not targeting you, I mean, all men——"

"It's all rubbish."

Li Yin was stunned, looking at the female dark elf on his body. For a moment, he didn't know whether to resist or scold. He was stunned for a long time. Finally, he could only look away helplessly, pretending to see nothing and hear nothing.

However, at this moment, the female dark elf suddenly lowered her body, pressed her body against his, and put her face close to his.

She changed her voice, and her originally cold and harsh tone became soft and gentle.

"But among all the garbage, you might be a little better."

"There are different grades of garbage, too. In some ways—"

She licked her lips, her charming and pretty face full of aftertaste.

"You're better than them all."

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Li Yin vaguely felt that she was a little softer now than before.

This soft feeling was fleeting——the female dark elf sat up again, grasped his waist, her eyes sparkling, and her high-pitched voice was filled with a kind of arrogant excitement.

"Have the honor, human," she declared, sitting on top of him. "I place you above all other males of your race."

------

The next morning, after fighting all night and receiving a whole night of careful "special tutoring" from the dark elf female instructor, Li Yin pushed open the door of Mircella's dormitory.

While adjusting the laces of his leather armor, he turned around and confirmed with the female dark elf who was still lying on the bed:

"Are you really not going to participate in today's training?"

The female dark elf was huddled in the bed, with only half of her snow-white neck and head exposed. Her face was rosy, but her sleepy eyes and eyebrows could not hide her fatigue. She bit her rosy and plump lower lip lightly, leaving clear teeth marks on her lips, and then she said with some difficulty:

"Do you think every elf is like you, having gone through a night of 'fierce fighting' and still having the energy to participate in daytime training?"

"I remember I reminded you last night," Li Yin spread his hands innocently, "several times."

The female dark elf ignored him, just spat and frowned.

"Come to think of it," she said after a while, looking up at the ceiling, "Could it be that every human being... is like you?"

From her tone, Li Yin sensed for the first time a faint sense of...racial inferiority?

He felt a little amused, but still answered honestly: "I am a special case."

The dark elf woman's face suddenly brightened.

She rolled her eyes, turned her head, and said to Li Yin with a serious look, "I see. Now I understand why Princess Cassia likes you so much."

Li Yin touched his nose awkwardly and did not comment.

"So do you have any more questions?" the female dark elf asked again, "Go to the third floor, the fourth room, and tell Zakrog that I need him to take my place for a day today."

"Can't you go by yourself?" Li Yin tried his best to remove the rhetorical element in this sentence, making it full of a negotiating tone, so as not to annoy the dark elf in front of him. "Although it is the order of the chief priest, will it really work if I, a slave, go there? And he will definitely not be happy with me."

"It is useful, of course it is useful." Mircella stretched out a slender white arm from the quilt and swung it in the air, as if stretching her body. "Because it is the order of the chief bishop."

"But you're right." She looked at Li Yin with a smile, "Zakrog will definitely not treat you well. He might even scold you."

Li Yin's face was filled with a look of "Why are you still like this?"

"However," the female dark elf's voice suddenly became mysterious and moving, just as her eyes suddenly became deep, "Let me tell you a secret good news as the price for you to bear these undeserved accusations."

"Zakrog," she said faintly, "that useless man with the soft penis is one of my admirers."

"This is another reason why I said my orders will definitely be useful."

"When you face his anger later, think back to the time we spent together last night. Will you feel that his unreasonable difficulties are not so unbearable?"

Li Yin's facial muscles twitched, and he was once again amazed by the unique style of the dark elves.

"I don't have such boring tastes." He said in a hard voice.

"Really?" The female dark elf lowered her eyes, interested, "Your body doesn't seem to think so."

Li Yin's face suddenly changed color. He subconsciously lowered his head, then slightly bent his body, and then subconsciously raised his head to look at the female dark elf. Under the other party's interesting and mocking eyes, he turned around awkwardly and closed the door.

"You forgot to say goodbye formally, you wanton, rebellious little slave." The joyful voice of the female dark elf came faintly from behind the door, but she did not sound angry. "It seems that you still need to be taught a lesson. But I will remember this account first, and I will teach you a lesson when I have time..."

Li Yin's face flushed and he walked quickly.

However, after a while, he forced himself to calm down and distracted himself from the beautiful situation.

"Instructor Turner..." he thought, and this time he discovered their other target.

However, according to Myrcella, this was just a casual move and was not their real plan.

So, what is their real plan?

The death of an ordinary male dark elf was just a matter of convenience, so their real goal must be more important. Reflexively, the face of Princess Cassia appeared in his mind.

Is it really her?

If it was her, what did they hope to gain from her? Or... kill her?

Li Yin's breathing couldn't help but quicken.

Although he had established a "new relationship" with Myrcella, he knew that the most important guarantee for him in this city was still Princess Cassia. Therefore, her fate was closely related to his own.

What is their real purpose...?

His mind was racing.

Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind.

"No, that's not right!" He suddenly stopped, his two golden pupils shrank slightly, as if he remembered something, and cried out inwardly.

After standing there, thinking hard for a while, he raised his head, his facial muscles trembled slightly, and a strange expression of both laughter and tears appeared on his face.

Thank you Qiu Yixi for the reward, and thank you everyone for the monthly tickets and recommendation votes.

In addition, there is only one update today (but 5,000 words)

Chapter 1: Attack ()

A dozen miles east of the city of Nevelle, there is the edge of a huge abyss rift.

A dark elf lowered his body, moved nimbly across the uneven ground, and quickly came in front of Cassia.

"Your Highness," he bowed his head, saluted, and began to report, "I have already found out everything."

"There are about forty of them. As expected, almost all of them have rested. There are only two sentries at the entrance of the camp, and each sentry is guarded by only one monster..."

Cassia nodded and ordered the troops to move forward.

Standing beside her, Rein looked around and found that the dark elf soldiers around him took out the prepared ropes with hooks while marching. Behind the regular dark elf troops, the slave army also clumsily made the same action under the command of Myrcella.

The purpose of their trip was right under this abyss - when they arrived at the edge of the rift, Li Yin looked down and saw the ground dozens of feet deep hidden in the deep rift, and a simple settlement on the ground not far below.

The dark vision from the mind flayers and ghouls allowed him to clearly see the edge of the settlement, the two sentry posts mentioned by the dark elves - two stone platforms that were not sure whether they were naturally formed or man-made, with two white figures swaying from time to time.

The white figure was extremely tall, and looked - although it was a bit offensive to say this - almost as tall as Cassia next to him. Cassia was the tallest of all the dark elves present, even Myrcella, who was also a woman, was much shorter than her. In the race of dark elves, height and body shape were proof of the Spider Queen's favor, so women were generally taller and stronger than men. Even within the single-sex group of women, these indicators also differed. Generally speaking, noble women were taller and stronger than common women.

As for Cassia, according to what Li Yin had seen these days, even among the nobles, her figure and physique were among the best. Other dark elves generally believed that this was proof that the Spider Queen particularly loved her, which was why she, despite being the youngest daughter in the family, still had an influence that was no less than that of her other sisters.

I've strayed off topic... Rein pulled his thoughts back and focused his gaze on the white figures below. Those two figures were certainly not the silver-haired, white-skinned dark elves. First of all, the white color was not skin color, but hair, thick, snow-white hair covering their entire bodies. Secondly, although they were about the same height as Cassia, their shoulders, backs, waists, and abdomens were extremely strong and broad, not like ordinary humanoid creatures, but rather like ferocious beasts that suddenly stood up, like... two huge white bears.

They do have a relationship with bears.

"Underground Bears" - this is the nickname given to them by other intelligent races in the Underdark. Their scientific name is the Quigbarbarian, a burly bear-like creature that lives in the deep pits and rifts of the Underdark.

Not far from where this group of Quigo barbarians lived was a newly discovered mine by the Borginia family. Not long ago, they attacked the mine, killed the dark elf supervisors inside, and abducted many slaves as food, causing the Borginia family to suffer a lot of losses.

However, this foolish offense also directly exposed their existence.

The reason why I say "exposed" is because Li Yin clearly realized that although the war they were about to launch should be regarded as a self-defense counterattack war of the dark elves according to the logic of the development of things and the cause and effect relationship, the actual situation was not the case.

In fact, the war happened only because the "Abyss Bears" exposed their existence, not because they attacked the Borginia family's industry. In other words, even if they did not attack the mines, but exposed their existence for other reasons, the dark elves would not hesitate to start a war.

Because, the strong and simple-minded Quigo barbarians were originally very high-quality slaves, an excellent resource, and a rich wealth for the dark elves.

Beside Rein, the dark elf soldiers fixed their hooks on the edge of the cliff and began to descend in an orderly manner along the ropes.

Behind the soldiers, above the rift, Cassia was using levitation to stand in the air, watching the situation of the troops and issuing one or two brief commands from time to time.

Almost all dark elves have the innate ability to cast spells, allowing them to cast simple spells such as Dancing Lights and Faerie Fire, while some of the more powerful ones can cast Levitation, but this is limited to once a day, such as Myrcella and Turner in his memory. Only dark elf nobles like Cassia can cast it without limit every day.

Li Yin looked at Cassia floating in the air with envy. After a while, he swallowed his saliva, tremblingly took out the hook, found a rock that looked the most solid and stable, and hung it shakily.

To be honest...he is a little afraid of heights.

This is also the real reason why, at this moment, he expressed envy towards Cassia, who has the ability to release the art of levitation without restrictions.

In the past, he was able to use levitation and use the power of arcane to control himself. This feeling of absolute control over himself allowed him to overcome his deep fear of heights. But now, he had to rely on a rope or a rock for his life. This feeling of relying on external objects was not reliable. It made him feel like he was back to his childhood before he embarked on the path of becoming a mage, panicking and helpless like a child.

He hesitated for a long time on the edge of the cliff, but still couldn't step down. In his dilemma, he looked up at Cassia several times, afraid that his cowardice would lead to her ridicule. However, although her eyes occasionally passed by him, they never stopped. That's right, her attention should be on the main force now, even if she noticed his abnormality, she would not care.

However, in the blink of an eye, the regular troops of the dark elves had landed at the bottom of the valley, and the slave troops led by Myrcella surged forward and also began to descend.

At this time, Li Yin, who was originally beside Cassia and acting with the regular troops, but now still stayed on the edge of the cliff, seemed quite abrupt.

Mircella, wearing leather and chain mail, was behind the slave army, driving a group of slaves with a few dark elves. Suddenly, she walked forward gracefully, her lips slightly raised, and a meaningful smile appeared in her bright eyes.
