Chapter 236: Helpless Surrender
Illett must not know that there is a saying called "the water spilled by the married daughter", otherwise if he knew what Elise was doing now, I am afraid that he would have crashed directly into the wall -- just as he walked into the dungeon nervously, Elise was in Jenn's study, reporting to him the situation in the Black Onyx Stone City in recent times, and from Ilyette's standpoint, his daughter was simply in a foreign country. As for Elise, as Jenn's subordinate, it was only natural for her to inform Jenn of the results of her operation, and Elise didn't seem to notice anything strange about it.
And that's obviously a good thing for Jenn.
Elise didn't think anything was wrong, but even so, her face was still bad. Because of the news she got after returning to Black Onyx Stone City this time, Elise felt very embarrassed.
As the little princess of Black Onyx Stone City, Elise's return was naturally warmly welcomed by everyone, and since she did not suffer any grievances and hardships in Jenn, then everyone was relieved. However, when the joyous celebration was over, and Elise began to discuss business on behalf of Jenn, she found that the attitude of Black Onyx Stone City had changed considerably.
Although the former Black Onyx Stone City struggled to survive in the dark regions, they still longed to return to the surface. But now, the mentality of some of them has changed. Previously, Black Onyx Stone City had to struggle to survive in the dark realms, not only facing the terrifying creatures of the underground, but also the Grey Dwarves, the Dark Elves, and the Mind Flayer. So they are struggling to support themselves. One longs to return to the surface. After all, the surface is larger than the Dark Regions. And it's also easier to find a place for them.
But now, things are different.
Morsoblaise has been swept into the dustbin of history. And the city of the Grey Dwarves is now under the rule of Verna and the dark elves, and has become a vassalage of the dungeon. In this way, the only threat to Black Onyx Stone City is the Mind Flayer, considering that the octopus heads don't like to run around, which means that Black Onyx Stone City is safe. Aside from the terrible creatures of the Dark Lands themselves, they no longer had to worry about anyone trying to capture them as slaves all day long, or that someone would keep trying to destroy their city.
So why are they going back to the surface?
This issue has caused a lot of controversy in the Black Onyx Stone City, in fact, the races in the Black Onyx Stone City are very adapted to the dark environment underground. Needless to say, the half-vampires and the Teflin and the snake people also have their own dark vision, they are very good at living in the dark, and they are very satisfied with the life in the dark regions. Except for the unpredictable neighbors, the rest of the land is much better than the surface. You must know that if they return to the surface, they will not only have to endure the torment of the sun again, but also face the encirclement and suppression of other races in fear. You must know that compared to the dark regions, the elves, humans and dwarves on the surface are not like spirits in their eyes. How good are the gray dwarves and dark elves? Anyway, no matter who it is, there will be no change in the attitude towards them.
In this case, what is the use of going back to the surface?
In Black Onyx Stone City, this sound now dominates the majority. Because snake people and half-vampires are the most reluctant to return to the surface, and it has to do with them as well. Half-vampires have a human side, but they are not the same as a perfect body like Elise. They still suffer and suffer from the sun when they are exposed to the sun. And the snake people are even cold-blooded animals, so they naturally don't care about the sun. Only the Tevlins seem to be interested in this. But it doesn't look as big as it used to be.
Of course, there is another reason for this. That is, they really know very little about Jenn. And on the surface, there are countless stories of the dark forces attacking the people of light and then being overturned by heroes who come forward, of course, there is propaganda and exaggeration, but this also shows one thing, that is, the demons want to attack the surface, there are indeed not many successful examples, maybe they progress smoothly at the beginning, but they will eventually fail later.
Under this suspicion, Black Onyx Stone City is not willing to tie up with Jenn too much, if they follow Jenn to the surface to attack, then it is very likely that the surface coalition will once again launch an encirclement and suppression against them, and at that time, it will be another disaster for Black Onyx Stone City.
This made Elise very helpless, but she couldn't say anything. She was born in Black Onyx Stone City, and she has not experienced the turmoil on the surface, she is still young, so she naturally has the momentum of a young person. However, most of the people in Black Onyx Stone City had experienced the encirclement and suppression of the surface and had managed to escape to the dark regions for refuge, so they knew better how cruel and terrifying the methods used against them by those evil and terrible surface races were. So sometimes they'd rather be conservative than take risks.
Elise had argued with her father several times on this issue, but to no avail. However, she was quite sensible and didn't lean too much towards Jenn, so the two sides didn't quarrel too fiercely. However, Elise was still a little disappointed in her heart, she was a young man after all, eager to go out and explore, and the victory she had won after following Jenn to the surface also made Elise very happy, in her opinion, this was the right path.
But Elite doesn't seem to think so.
"I see."
After listening to Elise's half-grumbling report, Jenn nodded. Black Onyx Stone City's reaction was not in any way expected by Jenn, and in fact Jenn was reluctant to let them all move back to the surface, after all, his other identity was quite sensitive, and the reputation of the half-vampire and Teflin races on the surface was really too bad.........
Thinking of this, Jenn smiled at Elise.
"Looks like you're doing a good job, Elise, thank you for your hard work all this time."
"It's nothing, master."
Seeing Jenn's smile, Elise lowered her head and replied with a blushing face. Then she bit her lower lip and hesitated for a moment, then Ai Ai looked up and looked at Jenn with curiosity.
"So, master, what should I do next?"
Jenn's smile grew brighter at the sight of the pleading and longing in Elise's eyes, and of course he knew why Elise was asking this question.
It seems that she is also very lonely these days.........
As Jenn had guessed, Elise was indeed lonely.
Although she was born in Black Onyx Stone City, during her time with Jenn, Elise has become completely accustomed to her new identity, and she is now accustomed to reading mysterious magic books in the large library of the dungeon, and to being by Jenn's side to see how easily he defeats those humans again and again. This made Elise feel very satisfied, especially after she herself had put in a lot of effort, which made Elise feel very satisfied. In addition to this, there is an even more important reason.
Hearing Jenn's laughter, Elise stole a peek at him, a slight flush appearing on her white cheeks. Of course, she was embarrassed to tell Sù Jenn that she had not slept peacefully during the days she had returned to Black Onyx Stone City, and those confused dreams had made her seem a little confused. It's just that in the depths of Elise's heart, there is also a bit of pleasure. Especially when she is in a dream with Jenn, and when she wakes up and faces her father casually, it always makes Elise feel a kind of excitement and happiness similar to cheating.
But as time passed, Elise, who missed Jenn more and more, also felt like a year, in fact, she had wanted to find an excuse to leave Black Onyx Stone City and return to Jenn's side more than once. It's just that Elise is quite sensible, and she is not too obvious in her appearance, otherwise I don't know if the compatriots in Black Onyx Stone City will have any other opinions about this princess who is "in Cao Ying's heart in Han.........
Jenn didn't answer Elise's question right away, because at the moment, he still had to face Illette.
In fact, there is not much to talk about between the two sides, and since Jenn has sent an invitation to Black Onyx Stone City through Guò Elise, what Ilett has done is actually a reply to Jenn's invitation. As one of the three giants of Black Onyx Stone City, although she was very unhappy that this demon clan had abducted her daughter, Elita was still quite polite and polite when facing Jenn. After all, he also knew that there was still a big gap between the identity of a demon king and a follower like himself, although Jenn was not the adult they believed in and followed, but the relationship between the demon kings in the lower realm was complicated, and no one wanted to get into trouble, did they?
Of course, in the end, Ellett's response to Jenn was that Black Onyx Stone City was willing to accept Jenn's invitation, but considering that they were not prosperous, they really couldn't spare manpower at present. Eventually, he asked Black Onyx Stone City to send an elite force, led by Elise, to fight for Jenn on behalf of Black Onyx Stone City. And they are in the dark region, helping Jenn stabilize the rear.
Jenn didn't object to this, and the two sides quickly reached an agreement, Elite promised to gather an elite force to send to the surface in the shortest possible time, and would also provide Jenn with all kinds of assistance, in fact, he also knew very well that he did not have the conditions to pre-qualify in front of Jenn. The young man in front of him had swept Mosoblaise and the City of the Grey Dwarves into the dustbin of history without blinking an eye, so his deal with the Black Onyx Stone City was nothing more than a matter of changing hands. And the only reason why he didn't make a move on himself was probably Elise, in this form of no one is strong, the only thing Elita can do is to bow her head and obediently surrender in front of the other party.
The negotiation went very smoothly, which made Jenn feel very comfortable, and with the total surrender of the Black Onyx Stone City, this part of the Netherlands was completely under Jenn's grasp, and he had nothing to worry about except for those damn octopus heads.
But when Jenn returned to the surface in a happy mood, he received news that surprised him a little. (To be continued......)
