Chapter 20 Opening the Door to Welcome Guests

"This is it?"

Looking at the tunnel in front of him, the snake man captain frowned and looked at the patrol in front of him. Sensing the snake captain's gaze, the other party hurriedly nodded.

"Yes, Captain, according to our investigation, the other party should have left from this direction..............."

"I see."

After receiving the answer, the snake man captain didn't say much, but turned his head and looked behind.

"What do you think? Mistress Elise? ”

Standing in the middle of the line was a girl who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a plain black monastic robe, with long silky silver-white hair that reached her waist like a waterfall. From the outside, she is just an ordinary aristocratic daughter. And the face that looks soft and weak and the red lips that are always slightly upturned always give people a good feeling of bullying.

But no one here dared to underestimate her, whether it was the strong snake man or the proficient assassination Houfflin, everyone looked at the girl with respect and awe in their eyes.

She is the nun of the Scarlet Monastery of Black Onyx Stone City, and she is also the daughter of Elise, one of the three rulers of Black Onyx Stone City. Li. Glinty Aidan.

Elise's background is a very legendary existence in the Black Onyx Stone City, and there are two things that are the most peculiar, the first is that she was born and raised in the Black Onyx Stone City. Second, she is a half-vampire and a child born of humans. The second point, in particular, is a milestone miracle for the half-vampire race.

The so-called half-vampire is actually a hybrid of human and vampire. On the surface, vampires often capture humans to serve as their servants and "blood banks", and of course, sometimes take pleasure in the human women. Because of this, there are often cases of human women getting pregnant, and what they give birth to is the so-called half-vampire.

Half-vampires have the advantages of both vampires and humans, on the one hand, they have the beauty of a vampire species, the physical elements of ordinary people, and the lifespan, and on the other hand, their human blood can help them resist the invasion of sunlight and holy water for a certain distance. Although it can't be said that it completely blocks out the sun, compared to pure vampires, their resistance to sunlight is much stronger.

But half-vampires are not without flaws, and like vampires, they can also feel uncomfortable if they are exposed to the sun for too long. Moreover, the potential violence factor of the vampire species lurks in the body like a shadow, and once they smell the smell of blood, they will become like beasts**. Because of this, half-vampires are neither popular with humans nor with vampires on the surface. Eventually, they had to choose to take refuge in the depths of the darkness.

Compared to other half-vampires, Elite's marriage path is also tragic, he and his wife are childhood sweethearts, but when Elite's half-vampire blood is revealed, he was expelled from the village, and what Elite didn't expect was that his wife also resolutely followed him out of there. After that, the two suffered a lot, and finally settled down in the dark region.

After that, Ellett's wife gave birth to a daughter, Elise.

Elise's birth became a sensation among the half-vampire community, because although there have been no examples of half-vampires marrying humans, for unknown reasons, most of them are either aborted stillbirths or have no signs of pregnancy at all. So much so that the half-vampires were once extremely desperate. But now, Leigh's birth has rekindled the flame of hope.

As a combination of a human and a half-vampire, Elise's physique is one step closer than a half-vampire, and she also inherits the beauty and strong body of a vampire, but she does not have the violent bloodlust factor hidden in the body of a half-vampire. And she has also inherited the potential of human beings, and in just ten years of study, she has become one of the few high-level mages in the Black Onyx Stone City. What's even more surprising is that after the test, Elite was surprised to find that her daughter was completely immune to the damage of the sun! She was even able to walk in the sun like a normal person without worrying about anything at all!

It's flawless!

Because of this, among the blood clan of Black Onyx Stone City, Elise is second only to her father in prestige, and almost every half-vampire sees her as the future of their children. Just imagine, if their children can live like ordinary humans, then at least they don't have to hide in this dark ghost place like themselves, right?

Because of this, when Elite asked her daughter to join the mission, the other two were so surprised -- that was Elite's most precious daughter!

Some people have even called Li the "little princess" of Black Onyx Stone City.

However, unlike those pampered nobles, Elise is not only a high-level mage, but has even assisted Black Onyx Stone City to repel the attacks of other races several times, and it is precisely because of this that she has such a high reputation, otherwise how could she gain a foothold in Black Onyx Stone City just by virtue of her family background?

Hearing the serpent captain's inquiry, Elise stood up, she frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"There are only ten people on the other side."

Speaking of this, she first glanced at the captain of the snake man, and then quietly added.

"And there were no casualties."

“………………”

Hearing this, the face of the snake man captain suddenly became solemn. As a high-level mage, Elise will definitely not be wrong in her judgment in this regard. Although at first glance, Li's words seemed to be incompatible, but the captain of the snake man understood what she meant, a heavily armed caravan was actually wiped out by less than ten people on the other side, and the other party had no casualties. If it were the patrol team that I am leading now, I am afraid it would not be possible to do better than this.

"I see, Miss, then......... About that mage..............."

Thinking of this, the snake man captain frowned and asked in a low voice. The reason why Elise was sent to join the patrol this time was to rely on her knowledge and talent to judge the strength of the mage who attacked the caravan. After all, whether on the surface or underground, mages are the most formidable enemies.

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

But this time, in the face of the snake captain's inquiry, Elise frowned in embarrassment, she hesitated for a moment, and then shook her head.

"I can't say it."

"Can't say it?"

"Yes."

As she spoke, Elise raised her hand and pointed to the blackened marks on the wall next to her.

"Judging from the traces, this mage is very proficient in elemental spells, even reaching the level of legendary level. You see, Captain, this lightning arrow of his fire was fired directly from the front, although it had a surprise effect, but after all, this was the most heavily defended place for the caravan. The least used number of people is enough to resist. However, this lightning bolt not only penetrated the entire caravan's defenses, but even hit the cave wall. The caravans of the Dark Regions have always focused on resistance to magic, and most of the guards are also wearing enchanted armor, and ordinary magic simply cannot have such strong penetration, unless it is a legendary mage can do this. ”

"So that means we're dealing with a legendary mage?!"

Hearing this, not only did the captain of the snake man look strange, but the others also looked weird. It's no wonder that no matter the surface or the underground, legendary mages are all respected beings. No matter where you go, you will be treated as a guest, so you won't be down-and-out to become a robber.

Could it be that this is a trap set by some force against Black Onyx Stone City?

"But ..............."

"But?"

“…………… This mage is really weird..............."

Speaking of this, Elise also sighed suspiciously. As a high-level mage, she could naturally tell at a glance that the traces of the battle here were obviously masterpieces of thunder and fire spells. But how can a legendary mage be used over and over again with two spells? And in addition to thunder and lightning is flame, Elise has almost memorized these two spells along the way...............

Isn't this kind of thing usually done by fledgling magic apprentices?

I'm afraid Li never dreamed that Jenn's system is this virtue, and he will give him two spells until now, it's not that Jenn doesn't want to use other spells, but there are really no other spells for him to use!

"Could it be some kind of monster?"

Thinking of this, the captain of the snake man was also inspired. Li is not sure about this, there are all kinds of monsters in the dark area, and if there is a monster that spits flames from its mouth and shoots thunder and lightning, it is not impossible. It's just that there are no traces of wild beasts here, which makes Elise a little uncertain.

"All in all, let's see how it goes."

Thinking of this, the girl didn't want to say anything more. She also knows that she is special, and although many people in this team respect her, there are also some people who don't have a good sense of her. Coupled with the fact that the situation in front of her is not clear, if she really insists that there is a legendary mage mixed in, I am afraid that nothing good will happen.

"In which direction are they going?"

"Report to Miss, it's here."

"Let's go check it out."

Saying this, Elise didn't say anything more, but followed the snake man captain in front of her towards the other end of the tunnel. And just as she was about to turn the corner at the end of the passage, there was a sudden noise from the girl's feet.

"Kara."

"Huh?"

Hearing this soft sound, Elise lowered her head, only to see that at some point, the ground under her feet was no longer uneven, but a stone slab. Through the dust, you can faintly see the patterns on it.

“…………!!”

At this moment, Elise suddenly felt a burst of cold, as if she had rashly entered the body of a monster, all she could see was flowing blood, thick muscles and intertwined blood vessels, warm mixed with bloody breath, so that the girl couldn't help but be stunned.

But in the blink of an eye, when Elise came back to her senses, the previous scene was gone. Instead, there were still cold stone walls, deep and dark passages, and there seemed to be no change from before.

What the hell was that...............

"Miss?"

"I'll be right there."

Hearing the call of her colleague, Elise shook her head and walked briskly forward.

No one noticed, just behind them, the heavy stone wall slipped silently, and in the blink of an eye, it was calm again.
