Wearing black silk for a foreign woman

The political system of the Holy Empire is very special. The nominal ruler has always been the founder of the Holy Empire, the Divine Emperor Neos, but it is impossible for a human to live for more than 480 years, so according to official statements, after the Divine Emperor became a god, the supreme ruler of the Holy Empire is called the Regent.

"Linde, you are so humorous." Of course, Elisa didn't take Linde's words seriously and just thought of it as a joke.

"I'm serious," Lind repeated in an affirmative tone.

Alyssa was completely confused and had no idea what Lind meant.

"See? The changes in my pupils when I spoke."

"It seems... to have expanded." Alyssa said uncertainly.

"Yes." Lind explained with a smile. "When people lie, their pupils will dilate uncontrollably due to excitement and other reasons. Similarly, when someone reveals their inner secrets, they will also have a similar reaction."

"It's amazing!" Alisa exclaimed in amazement.

"Then how do you know her name?" Then Elisa realized that something was wrong. This could explain the following questions, but the name of the first dark elf was said by Lind himself.

"Because of this." Lind held up the dagger, with the name carved into the handle. "There's a name written on it."

The seized dagger had the name of the Dark Elf written on it. Lind learned the name of the Dark Elf from it, and then used this to give the other party the illusion that he could read their minds, breaking through their psychological defenses and making them speak out.

After listening to Linde's explanation, Alyssa looked at Linde with some admiration in her eyes. Linde also felt very good, this feeling of being admired by a cute girl.

"Ah!" Looking at the dagger, Alisa suddenly thought of something and said hurriedly, "Let's go! We can't stay here any longer!"

"Why?" Lind asked.

"Once the death oath is activated, the other party to the oath will feel it." Elisa said anxiously.

--------

On the northeast coast of Ivojin Island, the once prosperous city of Dundalk has been turned into a living hell under the manipulation of the Beastmen.

All the houses will be destroyed, all the farmland will be destroyed, and all civilization and order will be gone.

Chaos Beastmen hate civilization and despise civilization. Anything that has anything to do with civilization will cause the Chaos Beastmen's endless anger.

In addition to destroying the city, humans who did not have time to escape also suffered a catastrophe. The Chaos Beasts ate humans directly as food, and some human women suffered even more inhuman treatment.

Chaos Beastmen are just like that, inhumane.

Most of the Chaos Beastmen were burning, killing and looting, but some did not participate. Some of them instinctively wanted to build something, while others...

A female knight with long golden hair and her armor stained with blood was pulled out of the ruins of the lord's mansion by several Chaos Werewolves.

The female knight was wearing armor and was covered in blood. She looked very miserable, but the stains on her body could not hide her amazing beauty. Her beautiful face was full of determination, and her emerald-like sharp eyes were full of unyielding spirit.

Illufa Gaines, Countess of Dundalk.

Logically speaking, such a beautiful human woman would only have one fate after being captured by the Chaos Beastmen: first being violated, then being abducted and used as an excellent breeding tool. But at this time, the werewolves did not rush to take Dio, but escorted Ilufa to a figure in a black hooded robe.

There were two striking numbers engraved on the black robe: thirteen and six.

When Ilfa was brought in front of the figure, Ilfa was surprised to find that there was a human male under the hood.

"You are the Countess of Dundalk, Illufa Gaines." The other party took off his hood, revealing himself, a handsome human male with dark blue hair in his early twenties. "Or should I call you the former Holy Maiden of Magic, Illufa?"

"Who are you and why can you command the Chaos Beastmen?" Ilfa asked in surprise. These Chaos Beastmen actually listened to his orders.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is..." The young man raised his hand and touched Illufa's beautiful face. "From now on, you are mine."

Chapter 23 Shadow Magician

The young man smiled evilly and stretched out his hand to the beautiful countess. Although his hair was not yellow, it did not prevent him from acting like a yellow-haired man.

When the young man's hand was about to touch Ilfa's beautiful cheek, Ilfa suddenly opened her mouth and bit the young man's finger viciously.

Don't be fooled by Ilfa's beautiful appearance. Even though she was wearing blood-stained armor, she didn't look like someone who would do such a rude act as biting with her teeth. But Ilfa really bit, and very hard.

The young man's fingers started bleeding instantly, and Ilufa exerted further force, as if he was going to bite the man's fingers off.

The young man cried out in pain, but soon calmed down. The next moment, the young man's body darkened and turned into a shadow-like form, and the finger bitten by Ilfa was freed.

After retracting his finger, the young man looked at the deep wound on his finger that was visible to the bone, and anger flashed across his face.

"Crazy woman." The young man said angrily, waving his intact left hand and slapping Ilfa in the face.

"Hehe." Ilufa laughed mockingly after being slapped. "You don't even have the strength to hit a woman."

"You can keep your mouth shut." The young man resisted the urge to throw Ilfa to the beastmen and let the beastmen take turns humiliating Ilfa. He bandaged the wound on his finger with cloth.

After venting a little, Ilfa felt a little better, but soon greater doubts came to his mind.

What just now was shadow magic.

Magic is an indispensable part of Western fantasy. Western fantasy without magic is like fried rice without eggs. It’s edible, but it’s definitely not fried rice.

Magic can be roughly divided into four types according to its attributes: earth, fire, wind, and water. Most magic belongs to one of these four attributes, or a combination of two or more.

But in addition to the above four types, there are many other attributes of magic. Due to various reasons, few people can master them. Shadow attribute is one of them.

Most people cannot distinguish them. Even some magicians with little experience may not be able to distinguish these small types of magic. But Ilfa is an exception. As the former saint of the God of Magic, Ilfa can recognize magic of most attributes.

As a human being, he was able to command so many irrational and barbaric Chaos Beastmen, organize them to attack the city, restrict them from venting their animal desires on him according to their instincts, and he also had rare shadow attribute magic...

Who is he, Ilfa thought, frowning.

The two numbers embroidered on the robe, thirteen and six, caught Illufa's attention.

"Who are you?" Illufa asked tentatively. "That was shadow magic just now, right?"

"As expected of the former Saint of the God of Magic, you recognized my magical attributes at a glance." The young man bandaged the wound. "As for who I am, it's okay to tell you. My name is Zekesi, Zekesi Enzo."

"Enzo?" Ilfa looked confused and tried hard to recall any shadow magic master with this last name.

"Don't waste your energy." Zekesi knew what Illufa was thinking. "It's impossible for you to know who I am."

"Now, I..." Just as Zekesi was about to say something, he suddenly froze in place, his eyes wide open, a look of shock.

His expression changed from shock to dullness, and then to a mixture of confusion and anger. The change was so fast that even Ilfa couldn't understand it.

"Damn it! Damn it!" Zekesi suddenly lost control and yelled. "Why! Why did you betray me!"

Zekesi's sudden change startled Ilfa, and even the Chaos Beastmen around him who were not smart enough took a few steps back in fear.

"No, that's not right! It's not betrayal! Sindra will never betray me!" Zexi muttered to herself hysterically. "Someone must have forced her! Forced her to tell us our plan! To activate the magic!"

"That's right! It must be like that! Sindra will definitely not betray me!" Zexi shouted as if to convince himself.

Although he didn't know what happened, just from the few words he heard, Ilfa had already roughly guessed what happened.

Death oath, someone made a death oath with Zekesi, swearing to keep a secret until death, and then the secret was revealed, and then the magic was activated and took his life.

Who then made a death oath with Zekesi? These Chaos Beastmen were definitely not it, Illufa thought of the dark elf who appeared beside him.

"Hahahaha~" Thinking of this, Ilfa couldn't help laughing. "That dark elf is dead!? How ridiculous! You actually believed those shameless and despicable dark creatures..."

With a slap, another slap hit Ilufa's face.

"Shut up, you bitch who was abandoned by your husband." Zekesi's face was half a shadow. "If I didn't want to use you as a sacrifice, I would throw you to the Cyclops right now and let him blow your body apart!"

"You guys! Take her to the altar!" Zexi ordered several Chaos Beastmen around him, then he rode a Centaur and led the group of Centaurs and Werewolves out.

Following the guidance of magic, Zexi came to a small forest, and finally found the body of the dark elf, Sindra, in the middle of an open space.

"Sindra..." Seeing her lover die, Zexi felt as if her heart was broken. "I, I'm here to pick you up."

"Sindra, oh, my Sindra." Zexi held Sindra's body in his arms, his heart broken. "Why did you leave me alone?"

Zexi was extremely sad about Sindra's death. Although Sindra was promiscuous, took drugs, and was bloodthirsty, in Zexi's eyes, Sindra was the only good girl who was willing to accept him, a shadow mage who couldn't even get hard.

Now Sindra was lying in his arms, her body temperature rapidly dissipating.

"Werewolf." After holding Sindra's body and remembering it, Zekesi's face turned as cold as ice. "The one who killed Sindra must not have gone far. Find their scent for me."

Several werewolves rushed over, sniffed the ground around them, and then stood there with a wronged look on their faces, whining like dogs.

It was then that Zexi discovered that a lot of sulfur powder was sprinkled on the ground here. The rotten egg smell of sulfur covered up everyone's body odor, making it impossible for the werewolves to smell any effective smell information.

Not only was there no smell, the werewolves' noses were covered in sulfur powder, and even Zekesi's body was stained with a lot of it.

"... Let's go." Zexi gritted his teeth. "Hurry back and prepare for the ceremony."

After Zexi and his companions walked away, six heads popped out from the bushes not far away.

Chapter 24 Zekesi's Purpose

After Zexi walked away carrying the body of the dark elf Sindra, six heads popped out from the bushes not far away.

The six heads are divided into two small heads and four large heads, two of which have horns.

"See? They didn't find us." One of the little heads, Lind, said proudly as he looked at the enemies going away.

"This thing is really effective." Ram lowered his head, looking at the yellow substance smeared on his body, thoughtfully.

"It's just that the smell is really..." Elisa pinched her nose in disgust. The smell of sulfur was really too stinky.

Sulfur has a strong odor, similar to rotten eggs. Although it stinks, sulfur has a wide range of uses, one of which is to cover up body odor and interfere with animals' sense of smell.

When Linde heard Elisa say that the other party of the death oath would soon sense the death of the dark elf and rush over, he keenly realized that this was a good opportunity, a good opportunity to turn the tables.

"Next, that person should go back to hold the ceremony as soon as possible, because he will think that the plan has been exposed." Linde analyzed. "Next, as long as we follow him, we can find the location of the ceremony and find your mother."

"Mom..." Alisa clasped her hands together in front of her chest, her eyes determined.

"I was wondering why Aiwozhen Island suddenly became so lively. Sure enough, someone is playing tricks." Lind looked as if it was just as he expected.

Although there are Chaos Beastmen on Aiwozhen Island, they are in a relatively balanced state with the new Beastmen who believe in the Mother Earth. For more than 400 years, there have been minor frictions, but large-scale battles have never occurred. There have been intense exchanges with the human colonies on the coast, but they are only at the level of beasts attacking villages.

As a result, as soon as Lind landed on the island, a war-level conflict broke out. Two human colonies were razed to the ground, and the new beastman tribe was also bloodily massacred. More importantly, the actions of the Chaos Beastmen were obviously under unified command, which was completely inconsistent with the habits of the Chaos Beastmen.

Now, all the mysteries have been solved. There is someone else behind the Chaos Beastmen, the one who took away the Dark Elf's body.

Although the distance was a bit far, everyone could still see the features of that person, a young human male with dark blue hair and wearing a black hood.

It is not clear how a human can control such a large number of Chaos Beastmen, but even if he is not the mastermind behind the scenes, he must have a great connection with the mastermind.

"I've seen that man before." Kitama recognized Zekesi's appearance.

"Have you seen him?" Linde was stunned.

"Yes." Kitama nodded. "He has been to our tribe before."

"I remember now." After Kitama's reminder, Katie slapped her thigh and remembered. "He did come here and talked with the shaman of our tribe for a long time."

As Kitama and Katie talked, everyone learned more valuable information.

The blue-haired young man appeared on Aiwozhen Island about half a year ago. It was not surprising that a human appeared, but his trajectory was completely different from other humans.

Most of the people who came to Aiwozhen Island were those who couldn't make it in the old continent and came here to explore. Most of the human immigrants used the two colonies as their bases and reclaimed the surrounding land. Since the beastmen almost all lived in the forest, humans and most of the beastmen had no conflicts or intersections for the time being, and there was only small-scale trade with the new beastmen.

But he is different. According to Kitama, this blue-haired young man visited many tribal camps of the new beastmen, took the initiative to have lively exchanges with the chiefs and shamans of each camp, and even took the initiative to live in various tribes for a short period of time.

"Since there were very few humans in the tribe, we thought it was quite novel at the time." Katie said with some regret. "If I had known he was a bad guy, I would have killed him with an axe!"

"What did he talk about with your shaman?" Lind asked.

"Let me think about it..." Katie crossed her arms and thought hard. "Damn, it's been a while, I can't remember clearly..."

"When did he leave your tribe?"

"About half a month ago."

"I remember that what he asked most was about Mother Earth." Kitama took over the topic. "I remember that there were several times when the shaman and he had quarrels, and the quarrels were very fierce."

"Ah! I remember now!" Katie slapped her thigh. "What he asked most often was about who was more powerful, the Mother Earth or the God of Plague!"

Linde blinked. What the hell, a combat power chef?

"I remember they had a big argument over this issue and almost got into a fight," Katie continued.

"Is he a believer in the God of Plague?" Elisa frowned her beautiful eyebrows, feeling even more worried.

Knowing that my mother was arrested was bad news, but being arrested by followers of the evil god was even worse news, and they were followers of the plague god.

Among the four evil gods, the Plague God is not the most dangerous, but he is definitely the most disgusting, and can turn people into swollen and disgusting walking biological weapons.

"No." Katie denied this possibility. "The Plague God and the Earth Mother God are mortal enemies. If a Plague God follower enters the tribe, the shaman will definitely find out no matter how old and confused he is."

"Besides this? What else did he do?"

"Hmm..." Kitama tilted his head and thought carefully. "He seems to be looking for something."
