Chapter 39: The Voice of Illusion
The mission of destroying the goblins has been successfully completed, and the tools that Jenn needs to transform the summoning crystal have been obtained, so it stands to reason that now should be the time for gongs, drums, and firecrackers to welcome the new year with joy. But it's a pity that everyone at the moment doesn't have this leisure time, and this qiē is all because of the information brought by Elise.
Humans appeared.
It would have been just adventurers wandering around, but according to Elise's description, it was clear that they were heavily armed, well-trained, and numerous. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like those idiots who come to die because they have heard too many legends.
Toldg and the remaining grey dwarf soldiers hurried back to Brandon Rock to relay the news to Kadk. Regardless of the contradictions between him and Kadek, they are still very consistent with the outside world. Jenn also returned to his dungeon with the others and began to discuss what to do next. After all, the appearance of human beings is not a good thing for the Dark Regions, especially these heavily armed and organized and disciplined teams, if they are the vanguard of the Human Expeditionary Force, if this is the case, then this is likely to be the precursor of another war in the Dark Regions, and it is necessary to guard against it.
But alas...............
"We have so little intelligence."
Enoa shook her head helplessly.
"If we can catch a few live mouths and come back and ask, maybe there will be results, but for now, at least it's certain that these people aren't just ordinary adventurers, then............... Then there's the question of how we're going to deal with it, and it would be nice if Miss Elise had a few to spare, but unfortunately ............"
Saying this, Enoa couldn't help but sigh. As a high-level undead creature, she has unique intelligence search skills, even if the other party is already a dead person, Enoa has the means to find the information she wants from the other party's brain, muscles, and internal organs. But it's a pity that Elise is also decisive, in order to avoid revealing her whereabouts, she directly burned all those people to ashes, so that now it is impossible for Enoa to find a corpse to get information.
Although she said that, Enoa didn't intend to blame Elise, knowing that this was the first time Elise had met a human since she was born, and it was no less significant than when humans encountered aliens while exploring Mars. As a half-vampire, it is obviously impossible for her and humans to have a common language, and it is not entirely unreasonable to kill people in order to protect themselves and cover their whereabouts.
"It's nothing, anyway, those guys will definitely send someone to see if they notice someone is missing."
Jenn waved his hand at Elise's words, and then he looked at Werna.
"Then, Miss Werner, please go to the Blackstone Watchtower and monitor the movements of Brandon Stone, and report to me as soon as there is any change."
Hearing Jenn's order, Verna frowned and snorted dissatisfiedly.
"What are you kidding, now that we're talking about those lowly reptiles, you're asking me to spy on those gray dwarves? I've pretty much had enough, damn it, I'm a dark elf, not a slave! Why do I have to do such a thing?! ”
In the face of Werna's dissatisfaction, Jenn remained silent, he just reached out, gently pushed down his glasses, and stared at the dark elf in front of him.
"It's a request, Miss Verna—I don't want it to be an order, please don't forget who you are."
"You're ............!!"
Hearing this, Werner immediately clenched her fists, her eyes widened, and she gritted her teeth and stared at Jenn deadly. At this moment, Verna is almost angry, who is she? She is one of the noble dark elves. Verna never wanted to be anyone's subordinate, having done so because she had to submit to Jenn's power. But now it seemed that she would have to be tough enough to make the mage realize her worth. Damn, she's not one of those lowly slaves, why do she have to do this kind of work herself? If it's murder or something, forget it, but for now............ This bastard mage, I must let him know how good he is!! This damn bastard ............!!
What's so bad about that?
At that moment, another voice suddenly appeared in Vilna's head, as if another self was whispering in her ear.
Didn't you want to kill that mage? Then do as he says, anyway, you're not in the city of the Dark Elves now, and no one will know what you're doing. So what else do you have to worry about? Follow the mage's orders, do what he says, paralyze him, and gain his trust. By that time, you'll have plenty of chances to finish him off, won't you?
“…………………”
Verna didn't speak, and in her head, the voice continued.
What do you have to complain about? Verna? Have you forgotten how you survived in the Northland before jì? From being alone to forming a mercenary group, you know better than anyone the hardships during this period. It's the same now, don't forget what you're good at, he's just a male, a man, and no man can stand in the way of the dark elves. Approach him, confuse him, and make him submit to you like a dog. But now you are no match for him, so you have to hide your anger and pretend to submit to him, so that you can go further, get closer to the mage, gain his trust, and then gain his weaknesses. By that time, he won't be in your pocket?
That's right...............
Hearing this, Verna was stunned for a moment, and then a strange smile appeared in her eyes. That's right, that's what the dark elves do, why would they be stupid enough to confront this mage head-on? Wouldn't it be nice to be there for him like this, win his trust, and then take the opportunity to find his weaknesses?
"Humph!!"
Thinking of this, Verna snorted coldly, and then turned away.
"I see, I'll go now, so it's okay!!"
Without waiting for Jenn to say anything more, Werna opened the door and left the study.
Because of this, she didn't see the smile in Jenn's eyes.
"Alright, it looks like Miss Verna has figured it out."
After Verna left, Jenn withdrew his gaze from the door of the study and looked at Enoa standing next to him with a smirk. Sensing her master's gaze, the necromantic girl only raised her eyebrows slightly and didn't say anything.
"Enoa, go and inform Bix, ask her to lead the goblin to expand the space of summoning crystals to 4x6, we need to play big."
"Okay, master, I'll go now."
Hearing Jenn's order, Enoa nodded without the slightest hesitation, and then turned to leave, not forgetting to reach out and help Jenn close the door to the study. A heavy closing of the door echoed through the silence of the space. Only then did Jenn squint his eyes, then stretched out his hand to draw out of thin air, and soon, a map of the dark region appeared in front of him.
In the middle is naturally the dungeon where Jenn is located, while on the west and south sides are the locations of Brandon Stone City and Black Onyx Stone City............... But that wasn't what Jenn cared about, instead, he reached out, and soon a series of red dots appeared—the same place where Elise had fought with the human patrol before.
It seems that the system is still beneficial, at least it will not allow itself to face a rudimentary map and be unable to find results for half a day.
Judging from the map, the location where Elise meets the human patrol is located on the edge of the Blackstone Abyss, which is a relatively inhospitable place in the Northland Wilderness. There were only volcanic rocks and piles of rubble, and there were no shadows of living people in sight. Because of this, not only do the intelligent races not go there, but even the monsters in the underground rarely go there to find food.
In addition, the road of the Black Rock Abyss is complex and rugged, and there are many caves, so it is easy for ordinary people to get lost when they enter it. At first, Jenn only casually explored, and after making sure that there was no danger there, he didn't pay attention to it again. Now it looks like if there is a portal, most likely it is hidden in the depths of the Blackstone Abyss.
However, Jenn did not plan to find the portal immediately to attack, first, I heard what Elise had said before, the portal was heavily guarded, and this kind of portal was two-way, and it could be entered and exited. No one knows what's going on over there, but if you work hard to occupy the portal and then fall into a trap when you teleport over, you'll be dead. The best thing to do is to wait for the time to come and follow the opposing team. As long as he can reach the surface unharmed, then Jenn has a way to re-establish a two-way connection with the dungeon, which is much better and more free than taking the portal and waiting for the other party to call.
Of course, there is also preparation before that. Jenn had sent three xenomorphs there to scout and find the location of the portal, as well as to investigate the adventurers. In order to ensure that you can get enough information, so that you can disguise yourself to the greatest extent possible and not be revealed. Of course, you also have to look at the security there, if there are only two or three kittens, then Jenn will have to knock down the portal too. But if not, you have to consider another path. All in all, it's always right to do all kinds of preparation in advance.
But until then...............
Raising his head, Jenn's eyes swept over the part of the Black Stone Abyss, and then landed on the location of the Black Onyx Stone City, and then the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
Let's watch a good show first.
