"Bysendorg? The Third Family?"

Shadurina spoke, but her eyes did not move. At the end of her sight was a quartz slab that was as long as one person, with a human figure covered with cloth lying on it.

The Broza family's mistress gritted her teeth because she knew that under the cloth was her daughter...the former daughter.

Now, the priestess, who was always famous for her irritability, was finally quiet because she was already a stiff corpse. Anger and unwillingness condensed into a terrible look on her face exposed, and her wide eyes stared at the smallpox unwillingly... Shadurina knew that there were at least five or six wounds cut by sharp blades on her body. Then there were the traces of burning flames, which made her originally tall body curl up. Obviously, she suffered quite a lot before her death.

"Are you sure the one who killed her was from the Third Family?"

Miss Drow continued, his voice hoarse.

She was already feeling upset enough by being woken up from a dream that had just entered a sleepy sleep, not to mention the previous things - the news brought by the Spider-Horse messenger, the attacks launched by the spirit-sucking monsters, the subsequent results, focusing on all this and the calculation of possible situations has already consumed a lot of her brain power.

"Yes, a male warrior with the badge of the third family, and I and my subordinates could see it very clearly. In addition, there was a living among several subordinates. He also said that it was the guy who first provoked Shattala and then ran away. In the process, I met Shattala. She recruited my soldiers from me and then chased after me." Esrina said, her eyes swimming on her sister's body and the mistress: "I was a little behind. When I arrived, all the soldiers were knocked down and she was dead."

Her statement is similar to the confessions of the remaining soldiers.

Shadurilna snorted, withdrew her gaze, sat down on her own throne, and looked down: "I really can't believe it. How could a despicable man kill a high priest under the protection of an elite team of soldiers... Who else knows when you will be back?"

"No. I did not mention my actions to anyone in advance. The stay in the fifth family was extremely short and there was no special rule to follow."

Shadurina lowered her eyes and did not look at the panic in the eyes of the three girls. She knew that this matter was definitely not that simple. There must be some hidden information in it - and it is very likely to be related to Esrina.

But she was not in the mood to discuss this issue here.

Death of a daughter is actually not a great thing for the mistress. The dark elves are best at killing each other, and few people can live to a slaughter. In terms of lifespan, dark elves can live to seven hundred years old. But most of them die abnormally at four or five hundred years old, or even earlier.

For the female priests of the nobles, this process is even shorter. They may face the butcher knife raised by their blood relatives at any time. If a mistress wants to take office, she has to kill her mother and all her sisters, and her sister will also be regarded as a threat and killed bit by bit. Only in this way can she sit firmly and not be overthrown immediately, but even so, the daughters will repeat this process.

So the mistress never expected any of her to live a long life and be safe - for the dark elves, especially the daughter of the first family's mistress, this is a completely unrealistic luxury.

Her personality is not as clever and cunning as other sisters, so she likes to use hysteria, ferocity and cruelty to exchange for others' fear of her. This kind of cover is certainly feasible. But it has caused more enemies for a long time. The mistress had long expected that she would die, but she did not expect that such a situation would be.

She had previously sent three daughters to find out the attitudes of each family, and on the way back, this incident happened... The one who died was Shatala, who was responsible for finding out the attitudes of the second and third families, and the one who committed the murder was the third family, and the third family was the most suspected.

But why?

Miss Drow turned her eyes to another daughter beside her.

"This kind of attack may not have been planned, but it is very large. It has happened five times in the past hourglass time. The attacked people were all soldiers paraded by squads, but they also included a mage. The death time was very close, but there were no witnesses." The eldest daughter of the first family was silent for a moment, and then said: "The most important thing is that when I interrogated several discoverers, I got some bad news."

"What news?" The daughter's brief pause made the mistress raise her eyebrows.

"There are strange legends that our family angered God, so all the high-level priests have lost their power. Or gradually lost their power."

"Just!" Shadurilna sneered sharply.

Of course, the magical arts that Rose gave them were not weakened at all, which they could be completely sure of, and of course these words were just rumors.

But the problem is that simple denial cannot solve any practical problems for rumors.

The third family is not a fool. In fact, there is no such situation as a fool aristocrat in Zhuoer's city. Not to mention fools, even those who are not so smart will be eliminated soon. The rest are the most cunning individuals. The tail left in this way is too obvious. Although in Zhuoer's cognition, there are only weaknesses that are caught and no tail seen, such obvious actions are simply challenging the bottom line of the first family.

In Zhuoer's thinking, this only shows that they are fearless.

Because of that strange rumor?

Losing Rose's favor... Although this kind of rumor is absurd, if someone deliberately does it, the impact it can cause may be disastrous.

In the society of Zoer, except for some cities that do not believe in Rose, the Spider Queen determines most things. In other words, the Zoer people use her power to maintain their existence. A family loses Rose's favor, loses the power of divine arts, and loses the protection, which means that it is not far from destruction.

The power of your family must be displayed as soon as possible to shock all idiots who are ready to move. Otherwise, this gradual loss will also cause unnecessary trouble. Dark elves have never been a productive race. The losses of human resources, especially the elites, are extremely terrible for any family.

But how to do it? Trial?

That requires sufficient evidence.

But now only testimony can be used as evidence.

As long as you are a noble, you are qualified to wear a family badge. Sometimes civilians who do not have a noble status will be rewarded. As a reward of honor, family warriors will also have one to distinguish identities. For guys with ulterior motives, family badges are simply a prop that can be picked up at will.

Testimony is invalid. Unless the person who made the testimony has enough identities, this time the witnesses are mostly soldiers, and their testimony is usually not valued at all. In addition, the cunning killer knocked them out. The key part is missing.

No one can prove whether that person is a true member of the Third Family. Even if the witness has a high priest, it is impossible to point out who the murderer is, let alone other... The Third Family will definitely argue without hesitation that this is a conspiracy and frame-up, and according to the law rules of Dower, as long as it cannot be proved, it does not exist at all. Even if Broza is the first family in the city of Hansha Tyron, he cannot violate this rule and make a ruling on Bissendorg, otherwise, they may really lose the favor of the Spider Queen.

Miss Zhuoer gritted his teeth.

What's more, the perpetrator is still a mage.

The number of mages in Drow is very rare. Empress Rose herself has some magical powers. But she is extremely disgusted with this power. Because most mages will inevitably be loyal to the direct master of the magic net and the magic goddess. For Rose, who has a strong desire to possess Zoer's soul, has always regarded Drow's soul as her forbidden body, this is almost intolerable.

But the power of magic is one of the most powerful beings in the world and cannot be ignored for ordinary things. Therefore, there are still mages in the Zhall. There are even special academies for training, but the selection of mages is extremely strict. During the decades of studying in the academy, those mentors will receive a group of death quotas every year. For the Zhalls who like to conspiracy and frame and butcher knives behind their knives, this is a reasonable resource that must be used.

There are very few Zhell who can become a mage, and even a first family like Broza, there are only a few dozen.

A mage with such ability cannot wander around like those refugees at the bottom. In fact, it is extremely difficult to train one in secret.

This only means that the third family may have begun formal operations.

"These idiots who should be swallowed by spiders!" Shadurilna cursed in a low voice.

In fact, at this time, she felt an extraordinary uneasy, as if the whole thing was not just what she saw, but what she experienced and thought, and there were many things hidden in the mysterious darkness and could not be noticed.

According to her usual thinking, she should first perform a ceremony and listen to the teachings of the wax meridians, to be precise, the goddess. However, earlier today, she had already done this, and whether it was the Spider Queen or the Wax meridian, they were extremely disgusted with the excessive frequent disturbances.

Why is it at this time?

Could this be a test given to us by Spider Queen?”

The mother's long silence made Esrina feel pressured, so after she endured for a long time, she finally spoke carefully - considering her words to avoid angering her mother who was about to explode: "Because we were not...active enough to her messenger before. So, is she expressing her admonition to us in this way?"

In fact, it’s not just not active enough? They have been thinking about how to plunder the artifact into their own hands. As for the so-called spider queen’s will conveyed by humans, no one of them really took it to heart.

test?

Miss Drow raised his head.

Test... Yes, although the Spider Queen's personality is capricious, she never easily uses her own strength to accelerate the end of a situation - even if she wants to destroy a certain family, she is not hesitant to give her the opportunity to resist... Of course, her ultimate goal is nothing more than to appreciate the painful process of death of the weak and expect some turning point caused by the impermanent opportunity... In any case, everything is to allow her to gain more and more joy.

So, my previous decision was indeed my own mistake...

"Why is that messenger sent by His Majesty the Spider Queen now?" During a series of associations, she suddenly caught something, so she turned her head to the man beside her - her martial arts master.

"Well, since a few hourglasses, they have been staying in the shell of the pure gold after they encountered that attack, and seem to be cultivating. There are many people nearby, but nothing special..." The thick and strong male Dowel whispered. However, hesitated suddenly: "Well, but. A warrior had reported that a nobleman and a man had entered the hotel and stayed in the lobby for about one hourglass time."

"Who is it?"

"The martial arts chief of the third family, Istro..."

"What?" The mistress suddenly burst out a curse, as if her dead daughter had her soul possessed at this moment: "Idiot, why didn't you tell me this kind of thing earlier? You stupid waste!" In this sharp voice, the mistress Zoer's hair seemed to be standing up in strands. The black light flashed in the eyes of the man in front of her, as if she turned into a spider who chose to eat people.

The martial arts master, who had been through many battles, was also frightened by the sudden erection of anger, and couldn't help but take a step back and lowered his head deeply.

He had never thought about any connection between this. If it weren't for the fact that a few priests had just proposed the matter of the third family, he might have ignored this matter as an accident. After all, the entire Lower City area can be used as an entertainment venue. There is only that hotel. It is not strange that a nobleman appears there. Sometimes he would think of sitting in the lively places in the Lower City area and relaxing his mood that is often soaked in tension.

But now he had guessed what the mistress was worried about. If the third family had planned it, it would be natural to contact the so-called spider-hinder messenger, and the latter obviously gave them some confidence - even direct support.

"Good male!" Shadurilna fell silent. She muttered in a low voice, and the anger that burst out ended. It seemed that the roar that was still echoing in the room was not at all her.

There was no time to blame these idiots for their behavior... The silver brow frowned slightly, and the first mistress pondered at the current situation.

This mistake is serious. Although it is not without room for salvation - it must be sufficient, at least the sacrifice of dozens or hundreds of lives, to soothe the Queen of God's emotions.

Therefore, a suitable victim must be decided.

And the best offering?

A smile appeared on the corner of the mistress Zhuoer's mouth...

The third family, yes, they were taken for granted sacrifices, six high priests, twelve wizards, these were enough to calm the anger after the spider...

As for the power of the Spider-Host Messenger whom they rely on...

Is it very powerful? Or, being able to compete with and kill four spirit suck monsters is indeed an amazing power - she has seen it more than once. The strange and unexplained power of spirit suck monsters, known as superpowers, can even fight against one or two high-level priests when face to face. Hundreds of such monsters can build a city that is comparable to the city of Hansha Tyron in terms of power, but not just relying on their enchanted slaves.

And that human could actually win against the counterattack and kill all the monsters under the premise of sneak attack by four spirit-sucking monsters. This kind of power is indeed worthy of admiration.

But that's all.

He kept following the spy behind the other party and listened to the details of the battle very in detail. Although the human being won in the end, he was also injured. According to the spy's reward, he kept hiding in the room. It was estimated that even with the priest's treatment, it would be difficult to remove the damage caused by the direct impact of the soul-sucking monster - this is the unanimous understanding of the drows who have combat experience in the spirit-sucking monster.

In this way, he may not even participate in the battle.

Since that's the case, the rest of things are not worth mentioning.

The number of guards in the third family is only half of his own, and the number of slaves is more than twice as low. Mages and priests, Broza has three times the advantage in terms of quantity and quality. What's more, Broza has the privilege of being the first family and those foreign players.

Yes, the magical monster.

Shadurina hates the spirit-sucking monsters. This kind of monster is cunning, scheming, and untrustworthy. In fact, just considering their weird recipes, I don’t want this monster to stay by my side for even one breath.

However, the key issue is that their power is indeed powerful. Even if they fail in the plot against the spider-hinder messenger, this does not mean that they are really useless - their terrible ability is enough to make them a surprise soldier. Although it cannot be truly used to destroy the defensive array of the third family, it is enough to provide more than twice the caster to suppress opponents on the battlefield.

The smile of the mistress of the Zoer gradually expanded. She seemed to have seen her victory

The Broza family can certainly win. Since the founding of the city, many families have challenged it, but they have all failed without exception, right? Broza is always the ultimate winner. It is in this constant challenge that Broza has become the master of the city. Now this situation is just another repeated journey before the victory.

And this time, the fruits of victory will be even sweeter, even far more than before... (To be continued...)
