Nessiya was very fast, very fast. With white hair and white skin, her speed in the dark night was comparable to the silver bullets of gray dwarves. After getting the horses at the agreed place, she didn't stop for a moment and crossed Cormyr.
The mountains and forests arrived at a secret location in the northern part of the Stormhorn Mountains at an extremely fast speed.
A completely abandoned elf ruins. This was once a palace of the ancient elf empire. It was built in the mountains far away from Arabel City. This building is very majestic and ancient. However, all the external palace structures have collapsed, leaving only
There are only some narrow corridors, passages and caves located inside the mountain.
In the long years of Cormyr, this elven ruins have been visited countless times by tens of thousands of adventurers. As early as hundreds of years ago, everyone recognized that every brick, every stone pillar, and every wall here had been visited.
After searching, no more stupid adventurers will come here to try their luck.
Nyssiya stepped into the elven ruins. She quickly walked through many corridors and long and narrow tunnels, and finally arrived at the temporary settlement of the Baenre family in Cormyr.
Thousand-year-old tapestries hang on the walls, woven entirely from magic. These scrolls depict portraits of drow matrons who died thousands of years ago, but whose descendants still remain fearful as they walk through the corridors.
and respect.
For drow culture, the rise of every matron is a bloody history of political intrigue. Spider Queen Lolth encourages cruelty, fear, hedonism, revenge and betrayal, which are all praiseworthy behaviors for Lolth.
However, compared with the orcs who play in chaos and chicken-eating competitions all day long, the murder and cruelty of drow elves are often carried out in secret. The drow have a set of rules and order on the surface, and murder can occur.
In a private bathroom, others praised the plan for its cleverness, but if it happened on the street in full view of the public, he would still be punished publicly.
Naisiya carefully stepped into the foothold. She used her magic to open a special barrier. She carefully checked the foothold, even though it was already two hundred meters away from the entrance. Even though every footstep in the darkness was
Every detail was exactly as she remembered it, and she didn't dare to slack off at all.
Every drow is a potential enemy, and every drow may take away the egg in her hand and keep it as his own. As long as it is not exposed to the public, killing and stealing is not only a shame for the drow, but also an honor.
symbol.
She knew what the Egg of the Snake God meant to her and what it meant to the Spider Queen. She always maintained an unparalleled vigilance. Nessiea could sleep peacefully in the royal hotel in Susaar, surrounded by guards.
, but in the foothold of her family, she will raise the highest level of vigilance, and she is always ready to face any form of attack.
After confirming again, there was really no one in the pitch-black foothold, so Nasuya began to lock the door.
She locked the outermost wooden door first, and then locked the heavy stone door.
After being active in the surface world for a long time, Nessie's dark vision ability was slightly weakened. After making sure that both doors were locked, she pressed the mechanism on the wall and immediately took a fighting stance.
The wall swings open, revealing the inner chamber. It was a hiding place created during the Elf Empire. The elves always like to leave a secret passage in the mansion in case of unexpected events.
The construction workers at that time planned that when protected by this very strong door, people in the room could use this escape passage to escape from the palace.
It was a cowardly idea, Nassiea remained disdainful of it, but understood their choice.
Due to the small number of drow elves, Spider Queen Lolth does not encourage large-scale wars and bloody conflicts. The battles between families are often based on a small number of assassinations and political intrigues. If two families openly declare war, then both parties must
Eliminate all the members of the opponent's family in one battle. As long as one slips through the net, the survivors can ask the priests of Lolth to "do justice", and all the drow in the entire city will immediately turn to attack those who failed to eradicate them.
family.
The air became more suffocating and musty. The road became darker and darker, and Nasiya continued to move forward until she entered a deeper room, which contained a black statue.
There is a spider icon carved in the rock, a large brazier, the front and back of the icon are covered and decorated with gorgeous black velvet cloth, and there are statues of large purple spiders on both sides.
As usual, locking the door again, Nessie looked at the cold spider icon, suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, she smiled and lit the brazier, added the special Baenre family incense to it, knelt down, and put the snake god's incense into it.
The egg was placed in front of the spider statue.
The air immediately became extremely cold, and a twisted and crazy will noticed the sacrifice. A unique creature - a demon with a body like a melted candle and an eye in the middle responded to Nessia's call.
, it first stared at Nessia with malice, and the words that came out of its mouth were all vicious curses. But when it saw the egg of the snake god placed on the altar, the demon was spinning in the air in surprise.
.
The Waxmelt Demon, the Spider Queen's envoy, the moody demon, legend has it that they were all once the Spider Queen's priests.
The flames in the brazier became stronger, and a will came.
"What is this? Look, what is this? Ness is Ya, the daughter of the Baenre family. My dear, what did you offer me?" A twisted, vicious, and joyful voice sounded, carved from obsidian.
On the spider statue: "Raise your head!"
Only then did Naishiya raise her head. The sword-singing beauty tried her best to appear humble and show her loyalty: "Congratulations, my lord!"
A beautiful drow female elf wearing a purple-black robe and inlaid with countless precious platinum gems appeared in front of Nessia. She was ten feet tall and greedily and contentedly picked up the tributes of believers with her hands.
, she has a pair of scarlet eyes. Although she is smiling on her face, this smile will only bring fear and timidity deep in the souls of mortals.
Her height was disproportionate to that of Nessie, who was only five feet four inches tall. She looked like an adult participating in a childish game. Her robe was covered with dozens of gems, black enamel and white gold.
Spider pattern, terrifying runes flashed on her sleeves, but the light of deadly magic was nothing compared to the twisted and crazy light in her eyes.
Looking at this scene, Nasiya felt a chill to her bones as usual, and she couldn't help but shudder.
The Spider Queen Rose personally sent an avatar to the mortal world, which shows how much she attaches importance to the egg of the snake god.
"Congratulations, my lord!" The hostess's time is precious, so Nessia immediately repeated: "I successfully obtained the egg of the snake god and dedicate it to you."
"Idiot!" Rose played with the egg of the snake god, her voice suddenly cold and harsh: "This is not a perfect egg! There is something missing inside! The little snake that is still in the embryonic state is dead!"
"It's because my subordinates are incompetent." Nasiya was sweating, and she immediately kowtowed and begged Rose for forgiveness.
The Spider Queen is an extremely moody goddess. When she is displeased, all you can do is beg her for forgiveness. Any excuses or questions will hasten your own death.
"Seth? Waste! He can do nothing but sleep. When Seth stole his faith, the only thing he could do was sleep." The Spider Queen threw the egg up contemptuously: "Fortunately, I still have what I need.
Inside the egg, it works for me, it works, it’s well done, Nessya!”
Rose's anger turned into joy so quickly, Nasshia immediately lowered her head: "I will do anything for you, just like I have always done, my lord!"
"Very good." The Spider Queen put away the egg with satisfaction: "What else? You should have something else to tell me, right?"
"I...I met a human being. He may be...the son of God. He is very unusual."
"Unusual?"
"He is a powerful spellcaster and a rare warrior. In some aspects, I even feel that his power is... somewhat close to yours."
"Does he have elven blood in him? For example, is he a bastard like Corellon or Sehanni who was born with a mortal?"
"No."
"Then it could just be the heir left behind by Ben or Baal. In that case, he is not worth caring about for us, good or bad. Nasiya, you are wasting my time."
"But the blood of God flowing through his body is really extraordinary. My lord, he is tall and has extraordinary appearance. He is both a powerful spellcaster and a courageous warrior. As time goes by..."
"In time, will he be as useful as you?" Rose asked impatiently.
"Yes, my lord, I doubt that I will be his opponent soon." Nasshiya was still working hard.
Sure enough, Rose became a little interested: "To be able to attract your attention so much, he must be very powerful."
"Yes, my lord, the strength he showed amazed me."
"Did he show any signs of Bane or Barr regaining consciousness?"
"Not yet, my lord, but I think he is stronger than the one our Banrui family has contacted, in all aspects, in every sense." Nassiea finally revealed his purpose: "So..."
"I understand, you like him." Rose's eyes were twisted and venomous. She smiled ferociously and lifted Nessiya's chin with her sharp fingers. The Spider Queen looked very excited. She discovered something novel.
.
"Yes." Every time, Nassia would be frightened because of her mistress's insight. She deeply understood that she wanted to rule the entire underground world, rule the demons of the bottomless abyss, and rule those who were always restless.
Mistresses of points, it is impossible without extraordinary insight.
From any angle or sense, it is impossible for drow to escape Rose's control. This is why the dark girl always fails. She has no idea how powerful her mother is.
The only thing Ness can do when facing the Spider Queen is to be honest.
Too many drow have tasted the Spider Queen's punishment because of their clever deceptions. Death is the lighter one, and there are more terrible fates waiting for them.
"You are very good, Nasuya, I agree to your proposal." Rose laughed twistedly and sinisterly. Before Nasuya could decide whether to laugh a few times with her mistress, the Spider Queen
Suddenly he lowered his head, his scarlet eyes showing a deep murderous intent: "But, have you become weak?"
"Never, my lord." The female drow said as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, almost begging for mercy.
"Remember, loyalty is your only value." Spider Queen Rose gave Nessie the reward she deserved: "The reward is your loyalty."
A matron's scepter, symbolizing Lolth's authority, fell. The long scepter looked like it was made of silver spiders and was surrounded by a twisting dim light. One section of the scepter was covered with a fist-sized symbol of Lolth.
:A female elf with an inflated spider head.
This scepter contains five powerful divine magics, which are updated every day.
And it symbolizes Rose's trust and authority.
From this day on, any matron of the Baenre family is no longer qualified to order Ness to be a slave, not even the first matron of the Baenre family, Kunsher-Banre.
From this day forward, Nyth, who possesses this scepter, is a general who can trample on all drow laws and confiscate the property of any male drow. No matter what decision she makes, it is considered to be Lolth's permission. She only needs to abide by Lolth.
Silk's teachings are enough.
In addition, with the powerful divine blessing from the Spider Queen, Nessiya gained more powerful spell-like abilities. After receiving Rose's blessing, she can now use darkness and dancing lights without restriction.
, and gained the permanent ability to see through invisibility.
Her strength was directly upgraded to the master level by Rose.
The Spider Queen transformed and disappeared from the spot.
Nessiya was not very happy. She held the matron's scepter given by Rose, looked at her pale skin and touched her silver-white hair, her eyes wavering.
She wasn't sure if it was her.
She still vaguely remembered that before she received family training, her skin should have been dark jade like other drow. The freckles she once had had completely disappeared. There should still be a few scars on her face, especially under her eyes.
There was a shallow pit, but she couldn't remember whose fingernail caused it.
Ever since the beautiful girl was selected to become the drow who would be active on the surface, she was forced to accept the baptism of many kinds of magic and divine arts. Her jade-colored skin disappeared and became permanently pale.
, the scars on her face, whether they were honorary or humiliating, were washed away, because her surface cousins valued appearance more than any other race, and no flaws were allowed.
Over the past ten years, she has changed countless identities. Sometimes she is a wood elf in the Supreme Forest, sometimes a snow elf in the north, sometimes a moon elf who returned to settle in the country from other crystal wall systems, and sometimes she becomes a
The Sun Elf of Yongju Island, her identity is fake, her hair color and childish color are stolen, she remembers one new identity after another, remembers their life, remembers their character, and learns from their
The way of speaking, but only forgetting your own.
If the rookie hadn't asked this time, she almost couldn't remember her name. Her memory was distorted because too much content was crammed into it. She felt like she was dreaming one dream after another.
In the world, she has many identities, but the only one is that she is not Ness but Ya-Banre. Ever since she began to move on the surface, that female drow has only existed in memory.
It was Aaron who allowed her to temporarily find herself and recall that Ness was Ya-Banri.
Nessie smiled mockingly. She couldn't help but think of Susar's little novice again, recalling his voice, appearance, and appearance.
The beauty of Sword Song suddenly felt in her mind that she wished she were really the sun elf Aponia, a messenger from the Evermeet Island, a distinguished guest of Cormyr, and the sister of the rookie, so that she could stay with him openly and honestly.
, this is not bad, I am very happy staying with him.
Happy...am I really qualified to be happy?
The mistress is right, I have become weak!
Nessiya laughed at herself. For more than ten years, she had stayed in the surface world for a long time, far away from the city of Menzobrevi, far away from the Underdark, and far away from the cruel life of drow. She wandered in many places in the country pretending to be
Many people, she began to gradually get used to not having to be wary of everyone, not having to carry a dozen weapons with her at any time, not having to worry about possible backstabbing and assassination at any time, she could even meditate with peace of mind in some high-end hotels.
What frightened her even more was that Nessia found that she yearned for the life of the surface races, even though these surface races were cowardly, weak, naive, stupid, and had a disgusting sense of morality compared to the drow.
She found that she enjoyed her time on the surface, a life without so many lies, deceptions, betrayals, and intrigues. She enjoyed being respected by others, instead of putting a knife to their necks to force them to surrender. She liked listening to those harps.
The story of the hands - a grand epic that puts their own interests last and sacrifices themselves for the peace of the country.
Even her own cousins, Nassiea found that they didn't seem so hateful. They were arrogant, hypocritical, arrogant, and stubborn, but weren't the drow the same? And compared to the cruel underdark, the cousins
The bustling city life, harmonious neighbors, relatives and friends, and peaceful trade attracted her even more.
There are many idiots among the cousins. These idiots have the courage to show off their useless sympathy, lofty ideals or lofty pursuits, even at the expense of their lives. Nasuya once despised this kind of behavior, but she gradually realized that,
Even though they are stupid and hopeless, the cousins fare better than the selfish drow.
They deserve more respect than their compatriots who do anything to advance their status.
I wish I were really Aponia! This idea came to Nasuya again. Her face turned red and she rubbed her long legs slightly, recalling the scene where the greenhorn's hot hands were "playing the piano" on her body.
, the elf sister would not tell her brother: she almost peed on him.
Unfortunately, all this is just a beautiful fantasy, just like that dance in the dark night.
The white-skinned drow sighed sadly. She knew that as a member of the Baenre family, she knew better than anyone how powerful Rose the Spider Queen was. She knew better than anyone how much control Rose had over the drow. She was the drow.
Well, she had no chance of escaping Rose's control, ever.
Even if she wanted to give up this life, there was no way she could do it, absolutely impossible.
She could only do one last thing for Aaron Salian, and use Rose to get the Baenre family to give up an assassination plan.
Yes, she came to Cormyr with three missions.
The first task is to give the box of black soul gems containing the souls of compatriots to Spider Queen Rose.
The second task is to get the egg of the snake god Seth for Rose.
The third mission is an assassination mission requested by a trade partner from the Baenre family. The target of the assassination is none other than Her Highness Alice Serre, the regent of Cormyr!
"This is the last thing my sister can do for you, little rookie."
Naisiya lowered her head. Thinking of this, the sword-singing beauty finally couldn't control herself. As she quickly left the secret room, she suddenly knelt on the long stairs and hammered the ancient and abandoned steps with her fists, one after another.
I can't help myself, as if I'm crazy.
As long as she leaves this place, she will become someone else again.
