Chapter 589: The Mage Tower......
Uster. Nassa's Mage Tower is the tallest building in the city, with nine floors. There are more than twenty people with the title of master here, all of them are not less than fifteen spell casting levels, and the chief is even more than the limit of mortals, and he is a powerful legendary mage.
It can be said that in this city, apart from the masters and mothers who are at the top of the ruling class, the power of the Mage Tower is the most powerful. On top of that, men can't become priests, so mages are the best choice.
Although most Dark Elves have very strong magic resistance to their skins, in many cases, mages are still considered to be of higher status to Warriors. Just like the surface, supernatural forces are always more likely to evoke awe. Of course, those low-level rookies are not included.
Since the destruction of the city of Ariedrin, Chasma has wandered alone in the Shadows for two years with hatred. During this time, he experienced the most tragic period of his life, and then discovered a very special ore by chance. It is very powerful, and it emits deadly radiation at all times.
Through studying and consulting ancient texts, the Dark Elf Grand Master discovers a secret that shocks the world, and that is why the Dark Elves have become completely different from the surface elves.
It is recorded in many books that more than 10,000 years ago, the dark elves still lived on the surface of the earth, and they did not look much different from their cousins. However, after being banished to the underground after the defeat of the Battle of the Crown, it didn't take long for his body to begin to change, and his anomalous magic resistance was born.
Apparently. It's not just because of being forcibly transformed by a spell. Because the effect of that curse was nothing more than making the dark elves unable to adapt to the sun. That's all, there's no need to come with such a benefit as resistant skin.
Some books generalize this to being affected by the radiation, but many mages who have been to the Dark Lands understand that this is pure nonsense. There are quite a few powerful spellcasters who have lived in the Dark Elf City for more than ten years and have not felt the radiation mentioned in the book at all.
But the ore that Chasma found emitted this radiation offered a plausible explanation, especially since it was so close to the entrance of the Dark Elves into the underground.
Distance from Uster. The city of Nasa is about a few dozen kilometers away, and it is an abandoned mine pit, densely packed with the bones of a large number of dark elves. They all appear to have died from the ore's deadly radiation.
According to Chasma's inference, the dark elves of the year should have been affected by this kind of thing, and their bodies had undergone unpredictable mutations. However, the amount of radiation at that time should have been very small, and the body began to develop resistance little by little, which may be the origin of resistant skin.
In his opinion, since this substance can create a unique underground overlord dark elf, it must also contain very powerful power.
Over the next few years, the Grand Master spent more and more time researching and finally invented a seventh-level magic called "Refining Extraction", which extracted a silvery-white substance from the brownish-black ore that shimmered with a metallic sheen.
Later, it went through a series of repeated realizations. He also discovered that the substance was not only highly poisonous, but also reasonable if squeezed with spells. In an instant, an unimaginable amount of energy would burst out, far surpassing Cheng DΓΉ, a ninth-level magic. On top of that, there are very few spells that can withstand the radiation, shockwaves, light, and heat generated by the explosion.
An ecstatic Chasma began to develop spells for the substance, but it was clear that the process would not be easy. After a few failures, he finally understood the difficulty, and without hesitation, he dived a purified spar into his head, in order to make his body feel the subtle changes in radiation.
It has to be said that it was a crazy decision. Every earthlings know the horror of enriched uranium, which can cause thousands of people to die in agony with just a little bit, and there is no possibility of a cure at all.
Maybe it was the magic resistance of the dark elves themselves that had an effect, or maybe it was the great (mage) master's body that had a more severe mutation, but in short, he survived, and at the same time successfully developed several deadly spells, and at once in Uster. The city of Nasa made a name for itself as the second only master in the Mage Tower.
At this moment, in the secret room on the sixth floor, Chasma was cautiously walking around a silver-white giant ball, her eyes were like looking at her newborn child, full of joy and fanaticism. He paid no attention to the lethal radiation emitted by the orb, and grinned a low sneer.
"Hey, hey, hey! Henry. Angome, I have prepared the gift and am waiting for you now. I'm really looking forward to what kind of expression you will make when you see the fire that destroyed Miè......"
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the Mage Tower, Eren is desperately preparing to escape alive. He cautiously bypassed the patrolling golem, quickly burrowed into the storage room, and immediately closed the door, and then couldn't help coughing again: "Ahem...... Ahem, ahem! β
"What's the matter with you, are you sick?" Solauphon asked with concern as he came out of the darkness.
He could see that the human boy in front of him was in a bit of a bad health, not only his cheeks were sunken, his cheekbones were protruding, but he was also coughing incessantly, and his whole person had lost weight several times, and he looked sick.
"Ahem! I was poisoned. Ahem! It is said to be a (poison) that can damage health for a long time, but it is not fatal enough. After speaking, Alan wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said very calmly. There was no sadness or joy on his face, and his tone was as if he had nothing to do with it.
Startled by the boy's cousin, Solao Fan hurriedly cast a detection spell, followed by a low curse through gritted teeth: "Bastard! Actually used such a cruel method on a child! β
Almost instantly, he recognized the poison, taken from a spider venom gland endemic to the underground, and then carefully concocted by the High Priestess, the poisoner would be tormented for months and eventually die slowly from all kinds of diseases. It can be said that this is the most vicious and longest-suffering of all the methods of the dark elves.
Alan coughed for a while. Take a deep breath. Calm down slowly. He smiled self-deprecatingly and whispered, "Don't worry, I didn't absorb much, most of it spit out, and I won't be able to die for a while." How's it going, is the action on the surface still smooth? β
"It's not bad, I made a deal with the surface elves, and they said they would help get the news out, and it won't be long before your father comes to save you." Solao said with a slight sigh. He also found out. The boy is becoming more and more like his own countrymen, especially those eyes that are almost ruthless, exuding a thirst for power at all times, even more pure than the real dark elves.
It's hard to imagine that such a love affair would occur in a boy who is less than ten years old. It is foreseeable that if he hadn't died halfway, he would have turned into a powerful spellcaster who would have shocked the world in the end.
Hearing this news, Alan breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and bowed slightly to Suo Laofen: "Thank you, thank you very much for what you have done." I am well aware of the risks. As long as the slightest mistake in the pool will die. β
"Nothing, I'm just like you. It's just like escaping from here. Uster. The city of Nasa is so depressing, so oppressive that it makes people breathless. While you still have time, tell me about the surface, how do you usually live, and do you like to fight for power and profit like my compatriots? After saying that, Solaofen's eyes showed yearning and curiosity.
For a dark elf who had never left the underground, this surface operation gave him a glimpse of another world. There are bright starry skies, verdant trees, sounds of all kinds, less dangerous animals, and a happy group of residents.
But when the army of dark elves arrived, everything changed. Bloodthirsty desires drove them into a brutal massacre. Looking at the desperate faces before he died, Solaofen hated his compatriots even more. Several times he was eager to pull out his weapons and try to dig out the hearts of these guys to see if it was dark, but in the end he held back, because it didn't help at all, not to mention that there was a child waiting for his rescue.
As soon as he thought of home, Allen's sharp eyes immediately softened a lot. After coughing lightly a few times, he said with a smile: "My family is very simple, a somewhat strict father, a shrewd and capable mother, a kind grandmother, and finally a naughty aunt and sister. The days are a bit monotonous, basically except for the fixed classes every day, the rest of the time is to eat and play. β
"Since I was the first in line to the throne of the family, I was relatively strict in discipline, and now that I think about it, I was really naΓ―ve at that time, and I actually thought that as long as the territory had enough troops, I could defeat an enemy. Isn't that funny? To be honest, I'm now starting to thank the Dark Elf mage who kidnapped me for allowing me to see the world at its truest level. β
"My father is right, the essence of the world is the survival of the fittest. Mortals without power can only live in humility, and their fate is always in the hands of others. I didn't want to be like that, so I craved power, incomparably powerful power. As for what you are talking about, the struggle for power exists anywhere, but it is not as fierce as the dark elves, and most of the time there is no need to distinguish between life and death. β
After listening silently, Solau put his hand on the top of the boy's head and persuaded, "Alan, you are still a child, you shouldn't think too much. The real world is just too cruel, and you deserve to have a happy childhood. β
"Hahahaha! Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Alan coughed and laughed, tears streaming down his eyes, looking very crazy, and it took a while to slowly calm down. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Happy childhood? That thing is long gone. From the day after I was caught, I learned that children could not survive at the hands of these guys. β
"Well, you have your own choice, and hopefully you won't regret it in the future. I'm leaving now, be careful yourself, and the city hasn't been very peaceful lately. As he spoke, Solau stood up and sighed. He felt sorry for the child in front of him, and at the same time disgusted by the actions of his own countrymen...... (To be continued......)
