Monarch of Evernight: Eighty-five Creepers in the Dark
bsp;Qianye's heart moved slightly. There is indeed a secret to the werewolf's method of sacrificing ancestors. However, what is truly valuable is the dark force seeping out from the cave wall. No wonder those vampires chose this place to set up the force array.
Qianye did not stay where he was and continued walking deeper. This was originally a natural cave, winding all the way down and reaching the end of the mountainside. The werewolf renovated a five-story stone hall as the ancestral cemetery, occupying only a small section of the branch, and the corridor leading in remained in its original appearance.
The deeper you go, the stronger the feeling becomes. Now Qianye can clearly feel that his blood and force are resonating with something in the dark. It seems that there is indeed a secret hidden under this land.
Qianye turned to the old patriarch and asked: "Are there any special products in this area? For example, ores."
The old patriarch shook his head and said: "There is nothing particularly valuable. In terms of production, the glands of the elk in the forest and the backbones of the white fish in the lake not far away can be used as force media materials, perhaps the most valuable Yes. Oh, there are some wild medicinal materials on the hills, but they are not particularly rare."
"Then why did Fengya choose this place to settle in the first place?"
A werewolf elder next to him sighed and replied: "Because this land is so barren that no one wants it, it was given to Sharp Fang. Compared with the tribes in Earl Stuka's core territory, we are not But outsiders are also latecomers.”
Qianye nodded. Without strong enough power, there is no right to speak. This method of profit distribution cannot even be said to be wrong. He said: "When the situation stabilizes, I can change your place."
"Where to change?" The werewolf elder immediately became alert.
The old patriarch smiled bitterly, "No matter where I change, it won't be worse than here."
The werewolf elder thought so and said nothing more.
When Qianye saw this, he had already confirmed that there was an abnormality in Qingfeng Mountain. He was not familiar with prospecting for mineral veins, and he had no idea of tracing the source on his own. He scanned the surroundings again and remembered the abnormal movement of the Force in his mind. Just call the werewolves back to the ground.
"I'm leaving first. When the situation outside stabilizes, I will send people over to take you to the new territory. During this period, it is best for the tribesmen not to go out to avoid conflicts with my warriors."
The old patriarch agreed, and Qianye did not stay any longer. The return trip was much faster than when they came. The mountain crocodiles remained in the original area for the time being, with no obvious signs of expanding outward. Relying on his familiarity with the terrain, Qianye quickly bypassed the pass and returned directly to the Dark Fire Camp.
Not long after he arrived, the guards came to report that there was a woman outside the camp who wanted to see Qianye by name and claimed to be the viscount's envoy.
"Woman?" Qianye was not surprised that Brudo made a decision within the stipulated time, but he did not expect that this conservative werewolf actually sent a female messenger.
He walked into the guest tent and saw a woman sitting on a chair, her back straight, her hands slightly crossed on her knees, waiting quietly. She couldn't be said to be very beautiful, but her eyebrows were very delicate, and her pale face showed a bit of sickly weakness.
The woman turned her head when she heard the footsteps, then stood up, performed an imperial greeting ceremony, and said: "You must be Lord Qianye, I am here to discuss surrender matters on behalf of Viscount Brudo."
Qianye walked to the main seat and raised his hand to signal her to sit down too. He did not speak immediately, but looked the woman up and down. Under his true vision, she revealed many secrets.
This woman is indeed a human being, an out-and-out human being. At least Qianye cannot see anything abnormal about her bloodline. But all the force of darkness flows through her body, and there is no force of dawn at all.
This is a bit interesting. This woman has almost subverted the basic rules of the Force controlled by the two camps of Dawn and Evernight.
Humans are born creatures of the dawn, and can be considered inclusive compared with other races. Some people will have dark elements after their secret skills are advanced or their talents are awakened. Some people will practice the dark force in order to pursue more powerful power.
However, these are a minority after all, and many of them will inevitably be eroded by darkness in the end, and their bodies will mutate. However, this woman's body was completely filled with the dark force, yet she was able to maintain her human appearance. Even Qianye's true vision could not detect any abnormality.
"It is really surprising that Brudo would send a human as his messenger."
The woman said calmly: "It's not too surprising, right? Besides, if I weren't a human being, how could I have seen you so smoothly? The line of defense in front of me would have been difficult."
"Brudo should be more traditional among werewolves. Why would he believe you?"
"This is a secret, please allow me to keep it a little bit."
Qianye shook his head, "No, this is about whether I should trust you and whether I can really represent Brudo. If you refuse to say it, then go back and let him explain in person."
The woman's face was slightly cold, "Lord Qianye, are you determined to go to war with the Viscount? We still have thousands of brave warriors!"
"I have even beaten away the earl, why do I still care about a viscount? In fact, I am willing to sit down and talk because personally, I prefer the straightforward style of the werewolf, so if your purpose of sitting here is , if you plan to gain more benefits through some unnecessary talk, you can leave now."
Qianye's voice was neither high nor low, but it was unquestionably tough.
The woman's expression paused for a moment, then she softened her voice and said with a bit of resentment, "Master Qianye, you really don't know how to show mercy to women."
"You're not that beautiful yet."
The woman was stunned, then smiled bitterly and said: "You are really straightforward and merciless."
"If you give more to others, you will have less of it. Therefore, I always only give love to those close to me." Qianye's tone became even colder, "You have already wasted a lot of my time. , That’s it.” After that, he was ready to stand up.
The woman sighed and said: "Well, Viscount Brudo's bottom line is to maintain the same rights and status under Count Stuka. If you can promise this, then he will surrender, otherwise he would rather Fight to the bitter end."
Qianye said coldly: "There is no problem with this. This is the condition I gave him at the time. But if you go back and bring something with you, I hope the Viscount will know that even if we fight to the end, the losses caused to me will be bearable." Within range. But he and all werewolves will die, so don’t threaten me with war again!”
The woman shuddered involuntarily. The murderous aura flowing out of Qianye's body seemed to be real, and she actually felt a dull pain on her skin.
She smiled reluctantly, "Then this is a deal. There is also a small request. Externally, Viscount Brudo needs to be nominally independent, otherwise it will be difficult to persuade some people in the territory."
Qianye nodded and said, "Okay. But his territory will be moved to another place."
"Change territory?" The woman was startled and looked at Qianye warily.
"His current territory is too close to the border. I will find a piece of land for him near the earl territory for all werewolf tribes to live in. You know, the east will be officially classified as a human-controlled area in the future. If there are werewolves living openly, I might also have some trouble with the Empire."
The woman thought for a moment and then said: "I understand. I will try my best to convince Brudo that as long as the new territory is not too bad, there should be no problem." At this point, she smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "But if In terms of property, it’s hard to find a worse area in this county.”
Qianye was a little strange, "Why? I heard that Brudo challenged Stuka. Although he lost, he should be able to fight for a territory with richer resources. To be honest, Brudo is better than the other two The Viscount is still much stronger."
"Isn't it because of the ancient tradition of werewolves?" There was a hint of sarcasm in the woman's tone, "Most of the werewolves in this land believe in ancient traditions, that is to say, they believe that only strong bodies are their true power. , all kinds of equipment and even force arrays are only used by cowards. It is conceivable that they have no need at all, and they don't feel that they lack anything as long as there is a forest to supply herbs and meat, and a river with fish. It would be satisfying if they changed their taste. Resources such as minerals are meaningless to them."
Qianye suddenly understood, and then had some unspeakable feelings.
The woman stood up and said: "If Lord Qianye has no other instructions, I will reply to the viscount and ask him to arrange matters in the territory as soon as possible and prepare for the relocation."
Qianye stopped the woman who was about to leave.
The woman turned around and saw the black muzzles of a pair of exquisite short guns pointed at her. She couldn't help being startled, and then said: "Master Qianye, why is this necessary? Just tell me what you want, as long as you can Whatever you can do, I will obey." When she said this, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows suddenly revealed an indescribable charm.
Qianye's eyes did not waver at all, "I don't need to obey, I'm just suddenly curious about your origins. Maybe you should introduce yourself well, otherwise I will think that you may be more valuable than Viscount Brudo. Then I I don’t mind giving up the submission of these werewolves and bringing you back to the Empire, where there are many experts who are good at letting people reveal their secrets.”
The light in the woman's eyes flashed away. She looked at the lines of Force that gradually lit up on the twin flowers. She finally smiled bitterly and relaxed her body, which was ready to go.
She spread her hands by her side, making a harmless gesture, "I am confident of escaping from the Viscount, but facing you who is not yet a warrior, I lost my fighting spirit. Okay, please allow me to reintroduce you. Look at yourself. My name is Ruoyu, from the Kongyi Continent, and I belong to the Creeper in the Dark. This is an organization that is bigger than you can imagine, and I am just an ordinary member.
"The Creeper in the Dark? A very interesting name." Qianye's face was still expressionless, but his heart was filled with excitement. He has never heard of such an organization, but the Sky Wing Continent is one of the middle continents. It has always been a dark kingdom and is rarely set foot on by humans.
