When Elite returned to the camp, he did not hide the worried look on his face. This also surprised Russ and Devoe, who were waiting for news from Elite in the camp. But they didn't say much until Elaeta entered the camp and drove away all the scattered people.

"You don't look good, Ellett."

Devo touched his horn, then squinted his eyes and looked at the vampire count in front of him.

"Is something wrong? Didn't you find a clue about Elise? Don't be in such a hurry, Brandon Stone City is so big, as long as we go around and explore, we will definitely find some clues. ”

"Hey..............."

Hearing his friend's reassurance, Elite let out a long sigh, and then he lowered his head, his face cloudy. Seeing Elite like this, Divo and Russ felt even more strange. You must know that in the Black Onyx Stone City, Ilett has always been the most indifferent one, even if Divo jumps straight to his feet, even if Russ's roar is enough to shake the entire dark region, he has always been holding a wine glass, sitting next to him. It's not that Elite doesn't care about others, on the contrary, it's the detachment that Elite is unique to being a half-vampire that helps them stand out from the death traps of the Shadows time and time again. In everyone's minds, Elite will always be a calm and calm person. But now, looking at that wry-smiling face full of helplessness -- it is really hard to imagine that this is actually the expression that the "wise man" of one of the three giants of Black Onyx Stone City should have.

"What's wrong? Could it be that something happened to Elise? ”

"No, she's fine."

Hearing Divo's inquiry, Ilett took a deep breath before replying.

"I found Elise, she was fine, she was not manipulated, she was not brainwashed, and she was not killed. It's just that I can't bring her back..............."

"What's going on?"

Although Ilett had already explained, it was more confusing to the other two than no explanation. Listening to Irett, isn't there anything wrong with Elise? So how could he say that there was no way to bring Elise back? Sensing the gaze of the two, Elite also smiled helplessly, and then told the two of them in detail about what had happened before. After listening to Elite's story, Russ and Devo were also shocked.

"You mean to say that someone took Elise for it? And you can't beat him? So Elise didn't dare to come back? ”

"That's pretty much it."

Faced with a colleague's questioning, Elite nodded.

"I suspect that Elise didn't dare to come back for this reason, that guy's strength is far beyond my imagination, and even if it weren't for his mercy, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to come back in full now. Not only that, but I suspect that there may be some kind of large power behind him, and Elise calls him 'Lord of the Castle', which is very problematic in itself. ”

Indeed, if it is on the surface, then it is not surprising that the ruler of a city is called the lord of the city. But in the dark region, a city is often an independent force, so the title of the leader here will also have their own characteristics. For example, the Spirit-Sucker is called the Mastermind, the Dark Elves are called the First Master, and the Gray Dwarf is the Archon. In other words, in the dark regions, each city is more of a gathering place of races than a city, and it is natural that the dominant ethnic group will rule it. And this is completely different from the "cities" on the ground that are highly mobile and can accept immigrants at will.

And it is very intriguing that a title as neutral as "City Lord" and does not have any racial characteristics appears in the dark region.

"Who is the other party? Is it human? ”

"I don't know, he's been wrapped in robes from beginning to end, and I can't find any other features other than the fact that he's wearing glasses. As for human ...............," said Elite, pausing. "I don't think he's human, although he looks similar to a human on the outside, his strength and speed are far beyond mortals, and it can even be said that even if he is a pure-blooded vampire, I'm afraid he can't compare to him."

"Is it really that scary? I still think it's more likely that human beings should be, and we don't know how cunning and terrifying those humans are, maybe they carry some mysterious and strange magical equipment. I'm sure that guy is definitely from the surface, how could there be such a title as a city lord in a dark region............"

"No, there is."

Just as Russ, the snake man, was impassionedly stating his opinion, Divo, who had not spoken before, suddenly interrupted him, he raised his head, and his lizard-like eyes glanced at the two of them, and then spoke.

"In the dark region, there is indeed a person worthy of this title -- the dungeon lord."

“………………”

At this moment, the air froze. Maybe the little fish and shrimp under his command are not very clear about the rumors of the dungeon, but for the three giants who are expanding their territory in the dark region, they have heard this rumor many times. In fact, the dungeons in the Dark Regions are just as often told by humans on the surface as dragons who will catch princesses and eat children.

It's a pity that the story itself is one thing. It's another thing when the protagonist of the story appears in front of him as a real-life being.

"Hahaha............ It can't be. ”

The snake man Russ chuckled, a look of obvious disbelief.

"That's just a legend, and there's no evidence to prove it............"

"No, no, no, Russ, you're a snake man, and you don't know much about it. But we Tevelyn are different, we have the blood of the demons. This story has been circulating among the Teflin tribe, a powerful and mysterious being, who holds a magic weapon, and is also called 'Lord of the City' by Elise, I think this is probably true......... That should be the master of the dungeon! ”

“……… If it's true, isn't that troublesome? If I remember correctly, the dungeon is said to be the palace of the Demon King. ”

"No, no, no, no, no!!"

To the surprise of Elite and Russ, Devo the Tevrin jumped up this time, showing a rather excited expression, interrupting their speech.

"You really don't understand......... These dungeons are not as simple as ordinary demon king's palaces! Have you ever seen a god come down in his true body to live on the main physical plane? No, in the same way, you haven't seen a single demon king leave the demon realm and come to the main material plane, have you? In fact, although these dungeons are called the palaces of the Demon King, they are not really the palaces of the Demon King, but the palaces of the sons of the Demon King!! ”

"What............ I'll just say how did the Demon King come......... Wait, how did you know all this? How come it has never been told to us? ”

"It's a secret between us and Tevelyn, and we haven't encountered a dungeon in a while, so I haven't told you about it......... Forget it, don't go through old accounts for me here, do you know why these sons of demon kings left the demon world and came to the dark region? ”

“…………… How do I know this? Sent into exile? ”

"Idiot!"

Glaring at Russ viciously, Devo continued.

"It's disgusting, but you should also know that there is a legend of the son of a god on the ground."

“……………”

Hearing this, Ellett and Russ nodded. The sons of the gods, to put it bluntly, are people who have been favored by the gods since birth, they will have extraordinary strength and luck, go through unprecedented adventures, destroy countless enemies, and finally become legendary heroes or saints after many hardships and hardships -- of course, the role of Elite in this story is naturally a tragic and cute villain.

"We don't know very well, but the son of the demon king and the son of the god are almost the same, and legend has it that every once in a while, they will start a mysterious and terrible ritual to let those qualified sons of the demon king come to the main material plane, and recruit troops here to launch an attack on the surface. That's why every few hundred years there is the truth that the demons launch an attack on the surface. In fact, a large part of our Tevelyn members were born in the midst of this war. ”

Saying this, Divo clenched his hands vigorously, and an involuntary expression of excitement appeared on his face.

"And you know what? The son of the demon king who wins this battle will become the new demon king, and the outstanding subordinates will be favored by His Royal Highness, the son of the demon king, and brought back to the demon world to become a real demon family!! If we can have such a backer, then Black Onyx Stone City will no longer have to worry about any accidents in the future!! And we will also abandon this embarrassing identity in front of us and become the real, most noble and powerful people of darkness!! ”

"This ..............."

Hearing Divo's words, Elite was also excited. As half-vampires, their status is similar to that of Tevelyn, and they are not valued because of their hybrids. If they can become real demon dependents, then these will no longer be a problem!!

"But it's not me who poured cold water..............."

But at this moment, Russ's voice sounded again.

"I don't know much about this, but if Miss Elise was caught by the dungeon master, doesn't that mean that the patrol we sent before went to find trouble with the dungeon? That's why they arrested Miss Elise, and in this case, how are you going to cooperate with that city lord? ”

"This ....................."

Hearing this, Elite and Devotor were stunned for a moment, and the originally fiery atmosphere fell silent again.

Russ was right, if that was the case, then what should they do?

"Report!!"

At that moment, a hurried voice broke the silence in the room, and then a scout was seen hurrying in with a solemn face.

"There's a report from the Third Patrol ahead that they've been attacked by humans!!"

"What ?!!"
