Chapter 78
In the dungeon of Dark Elf Nitrilan and the fortress of the Night Blade family, Dark Elf Anya entered an empty reception room.
The living room was dark, but she did not light a lamp. Instead, she sat down on the chair in the center of the wall of the living room. There was a pair of armor decorations beside the chair.
The moment she sat down, three figures suddenly appeared around her, as if they were already here.
"Mistress." The three of them knelt down to Anya.
There was no dark elf among these people, but one elf and two humans. Each of them looked mechanically indifferent.
There are several settlements of dark elves, large and small, all over this continent. Nitrilan underground in the northwest desert area of the continent is considered the largest one.
The Night Blade family is the most powerful family in Nitrilan. Not long ago, the Night Blade family, which was in the limelight, successfully suppressed other families and became the de facto controller of Nitriland. Although there is no official claim, the Night Blade family now The mistress can already be regarded as the queen of Nitrilan.
And Anya is the daughter of the Night Blade Mistress.
The Night Blade family is most famous for its "maze" that trains professional assassins. They not only put talented young people in the family into training, but also recruit mercenaries, wanted criminals, and defectors from other races from the outside world. Occasionally capture slaves, brainwash them and train them to become assassins.
Such a move allows the Night Blade family to have assassins and spies of different races, who can be placed in various national forces to collect intelligence or carry out assassinations.
"I still need information about that red dragon. I'll start with you." Anya first pointed to the elf on the far left.
"Yes. I went to Twilight Autumn City and found out more details about the red dragon's participation in the battle in Twilight Autumn City. According to the testimonies of the soldiers who participated in the battle, the red dragon seemed to have used some very special spells during the battle. It could not only spit out It's similar to the green dragon's poisonous mist breath, and you can also use holy light spells." The elf spy reported mechanically.
"Dragon can use Holy Light? Are you sure?" Anya confirmed to the other party.
"I have interviewed multiple witnesses, and the confessions in this regard are all consistent and should be credible." the elf spy replied.
Anya thought for a while, then turned her gaze to the next human: "What about you?" "
New information was obtained at Longkou Fortress. Before the empire released the news that the princess was kidnapped by the red dragon, the Dragon Head Knights used Longkou Fortress to attack A covert operation was carried out overseas, and the knight leader Lucio was suspected of being involved, and the operation failed.
Eyewitnesses said they saw a team of knights that retreated back to the fortress for help. According to the description, the leader of the knight team may be wearing Lucio's special armor. The retreating knight team We also urgently summoned priests and doctors for him." The other party reported respectfully.
"Is it possible that this matter has something to do with the red dragon?" Anya asked.
"There is no definite evidence to prove the connection, but judging from the time point, the possibility of the two being connected is very high." The other party reported seriously.
Anya fell into thought.
Assuming that the actions of the Dragon Head Knights are related to the red dragon, it means that Lucio, the knight king of the empire, was repulsed during the crusade against the red dragon, and then returned to Longkou Fortress in embarrassment.
And it was precisely because of this hasty retreat that the Night Blade family arranged for people in the empire to find out about this operation.
A red dragon that was far from reaching the level of an ancient dragon defeated the legendary warrior who led the attack?
Combined with the reports of the spies sent to Mu Xia, it seems possible to deduce that the red dragon possesses some kind of special power, which can even make it better than the legendary strong man.
It is impossible to make up for this gap by practicing magic alone. The most reasonable explanation is powerful props, magic weapons, artifacts or other foreign objects.
The moment this idea came up, a glint flashed in Anya's eyes.
"What about you?" Anya looked at the last person.
"The Grand Duke of Xihe issued a reward for the red dragon because his eldest son was killed by the red dragon Kujia. He commissioned the Beishan Kingdom to manufacture a large amount of dragon-slaying equipment. He may go on an expedition within half a month." The other party answered very concisely.
"You did a good job." Anya replied with great satisfaction. With a wave of her hand, she aimed at the three of them and threw three silver daggers. "Go and receive the reward first." The
three of them raised their hands at the same time and easily Catching the dagger that flashed by in the darkness was like picking up a table knife. The silver dagger was their token of reward.
"Thank you, Mistress." The three disappeared from the room quietly without making any footsteps, as if they had never existed.
Then Anya stood up. Within the range of her breath detection, the breaths of the three subordinates disappeared, leaving only her and the decorative armor next to the seat showing their breath.
Anya suddenly saluted the armor respectfully: "That's the report this time, Sir Messenger."
When she was sitting in her seat, she personally applied aura shielding to the armor next to her, even if it was The three outstanding subordinates did not realize that this decorative armor was actually an iron golem made by a mage. It was a very advanced golem that could be remotely controlled by the maker and act as eyes and ears.
"Continue to pay attention to the news about Red Dragon, and report again." The other party only gave this reply.
"Yes." Anya bowed her head respectfully.
Then the golem fell into silence, and its aura quickly faded.
Anya left the reception room with an expressionless face, but at this moment, she felt a strong sense of nausea in her heart.
"This family is hopeless..." she thought in her heart.
It should be said that the entire Nitrilan is hopeless.
As the current designated heir of the Night Blade family, she doesn't actually need to look up to anyone in this family except her own mother.
But she had to kowtow to a golem, because the owner behind the golem represented a powerful force, a force that now enslaved the Night Blade family.
It is very ironic that the Night Blade family has been able to rise in Nitrilan in the past ten years because it has found a good backer.
The saddest thing is that this "backer" is not even the active choice of the Night Blade family. The Night Blade family became the helmsman of Nitrilan because that force chose them as a tool to control Nitrilan.
The mistress pushed the matter of contacting the envoys of the patronage to her daughter Anya, which made Anya deeply dissatisfied.
"Damn old woman, you gave me the disgusting job of nodding and bending. You know how embarrassing it is!"
Almost every time she contacted the messenger and was ordered around by the other party, Anya would accumulate a few more points in her heart. resentment.
An enslaved family, no matter how strong it develops, is just a collection of slaves.
Who the hell wants to inherit this kind of family? I must find a way to get out!
The red dragon at the junction of the northern side of the empire—the target designated by the envoy to spy on—reappeared in her mind again.
That red dragon is now famous in the empire and Mu Xia. At the request of the envoy, she spied on a lot of side information.
The power to defeat the legendary strongman...
She needs that kind of power to escape from the clutches of her family and her enslavers!
There is value in serious consideration, but before that, it seems that we should test it out more first.
Fortunately, according to the intelligence, there will soon be forces to help her do this.
