Your war hammer is too fake

The underground world was able to form and continue to exist today, all thanks to a prehistoric giant beast called the Riftworm, which only moves deep underground. This is a super-giant creature, with an adult body length of more than five kilometers, and it will grow longer as it ages. They are always drilling deep into the earth, and the passages they leave behind constitute the original underground world.

The cavemen and the rift worms have a symbiotic relationship. The cavemen are responsible for cleaning the parasites on the rift worms, while the rift worms provide shelter for the cavemen. In the beginning, the cavemen lived directly on the rift worms. Each of these super beasts is a small mobile ecosystem. They have a series of large and small cavities in their bodies, in which underground plants and fungi that have evolved from who knows how grow, and these cavities are also the homes of the cavemen.

Later, for unknown reasons, the population of rift worms became smaller and smaller, while the number of cavemen continued to grow slowly and steadily. The highly intelligent rift worms dug caves in relatively stable geological areas, and the cavemen gradually migrated from "mobile homes" to fixed residences.

Although the rift worms have a long lifespan, they are not immortal. The death of each holy worm is a huge tragedy for the cavemen, but at the same time, the death of the rift worm will also bring about the rebirth of other species. Its huge remains nourish countless lives, allowing the originally barren and desolate underground world to gradually develop a unique ecosystem.

Thanks to this, the cavemen once prospered until two groups of outsiders broke into their home.

Author's words: Reply to reader "Wang Xinxin":

I can't help you. What can the dwarves do with this gender ratio? A considerable number of male dwarves remain single for their entire lives, and those who can get married are often much older than their wives. Since there are more men than women, the dwarves have even developed a system of polyandry. A dwarf woman may have more than one husband, and her husbands are usually brothers. For example, Valaya among the ancestors is the wife of both Granni and Granni's brother Grimnir.

Chapter 231: Underground Past

Without riftworms, there would be no underground world.

Kagu told An Jiyue a lot of things, many ancient myths passed down from generation to generation in the cavemen tribe. Although the cavemen tribe living deep underground did not have spellcasters, some special individuals were occasionally born in their tribe. These special individuals were all females, born with some...special skills in the spiritual and mental fields.

They are the prophets of the cavemen tribe, acting as advisors to the chieftains, although they can neither predict the future nor rub lightning with their hands. They are not true psykers, but quasi-psykers. Although their tricks are not worth mentioning compared to the Faceless Men, they can still do some things, such as passing down specific memories from generation to generation, preserving the most important information in the ignorant era before the development of mature writing.

Kagu's mother was a caveman prophet, and perhaps the last caveman prophet. Before she died, she instilled the ancestral memories that had been passed down for countless generations into Kagu's soul. When Kagu saw An Jiyue for the first time, he took the initiative to ask the latter to read his mind, because Kagu, as a man, could not become a prophet, and he had no psychic talent. When he died, these ancient memories would completely disappear from this world, and no one would know these secrets anymore.

[Dustan Falcon: ←_←So what did you read? ]

[Group leader #An Jiyue: The life of the last rift worm in the world. ]

Riftworms are a species that was born in the ancient times. This group even appeared earlier than the dinosaurs. They feed on the energy of the earth veins, are hermaphrodites, and are extremely intelligent. In addition, riftworms are born with the ability to manipulate soil and rocks, and can do extremely fine control. In the existing underground world, except for a few man-made tunnels, all caves and passages were dug by riftworms, and they also used their innate abilities to reinforce these places.

The effect of this reinforcement was so strong that the underground world remained safe and sound even during the great earthquake that almost killed the dwarves. Only the tunnels dug by ordinary people themselves collapsed.

In addition, the entire ecosystem of the underground world originated from the rift worm. All kinds of underground plants and animals and fungi originally evolved in the cavity of the rift worm. The rift worm, which feeds on the power of the earth veins, is always filled with this energy from the planet itself, and the power of the earth veins naturally has the effect of nourishing life. Of course, everything always has two sides, and the existence of the rift worm also hinders the emergence of an independent underground ecosystem.

——If the earth vein power in a certain area is sufficient, the species will flourish and the life will thrive. Otherwise, it will be barren and desolate. The "appetite" of the rift worm is quite amazing. If there are these things active, don't expect to have much earth vein power left. All of it will be eaten up by these big eaters.

Until the coming of the Ancient Saints, this group of aliens built a huge network of spiritual veins on the planet, systematically guiding and extracting the power of the earth veins, which led to a significant reduction in the food source of the Rift Valley Worms, and the tribe also went into decline.

When a whale dies, everything comes to life. Every time a rift worm dies, its own small ecosystem begins to spread. Gradually, mushroom trees and fluorescent mosses grow in every corner of the underground world. A fragile yet vibrant ecosystem appears deep underground where life should not have been born.

When the Faceless and Brood were defeated in the war with the Old Ones and had to flee to the Underworld to survive, the Riftworms were long since a memory. The species became extinct. They could no longer shelter the Cavemen.

The last rift worm died between 8000 and 7000 BC. The caveman's calendar had long been lost, so the exact time was unknown. However, there was a relatively detailed record in the memory matrix left by Dorzer. An Jiyue used the Faceless Man's calendar to calculate and found that the moths escaped into the underground world in 6205 BC, and there were only years left before the polar portal spiraled up to heaven.

When they realized that their race was doomed to extinction, the Rift Valley Zerg began to vigorously expand the underground world, trying to leave more living space for their loyal servants. They continued to dig more caves and tunnels, and they were still doing this until the end.

The cavemen were grateful for the efforts of the holy insects, and the greatest prophet among them managed to preserve the memory of the last rift worm, then packaged it with crude psychic techniques and left it to the next generation as an intangible legacy.

Kagu is not a prophet and cannot read the information in the "legacy". His role is roughly equivalent to a living USB flash drive, using his soul as a container to carry this memory; also because Kagu has no psychic talent, the "legacy" has lost a lot of information, but fortunately the most critical part of the content has been basically preserved.

For example, the distribution of the main caves and tunnels in the underground world.

The vanguard, composed of 10,000 of the most elite dwarf warriors, stayed at the entrance of a branch tunnel for a day, waiting for the rangers' reconnaissance results. Kagu also participated in the reconnaissance. Although An Jiyue hoped that the old caveman would stay in a safe place, the latter's attitude was very firm, and finally the Jiedushi had to let him go.

As usual, the main force of the Nest Clan did not appear. Only a few bugs launched a meaningless attack, and were then shot and chopped down one by one by the rangers. After finding out the situation ahead and comparing it with the information in the "legacy", An Jiyue ordered the army to move out, and by the way, conveyed the confirmed information to Barrel through the chat group.

……

After officially entering the underground world, the marching experience improved a lot.

After leaving the sphere of influence of Plateau Fort, the route of the vanguard was rugged and undulating. The fractured surface of the rock layer caused by geological movement deep in the earth was extremely irregular in shape. In many places, the terrain was modified by An Jiyue's earth control technique to allow the army to pass. Not only that, far away from Plateau Fort and at a distance from the underground world, the oxygen content in the air was significantly reduced. Some areas were filled with deadly toxic gases and various strange germs that the surface races had never heard of.

Toxic gases and germs can be dealt with by An Jiyue's magic, but low oxygen content can only be overcome by one's own nature. Fortunately, the strong physique and will are precisely the strengths of the dwarves. The Jiedushi was originally worried that he would be intercepted by the main force of the Nest Clan on the way, and then be forced to fight these large insects adapted to low-oxygen environments under unfavorable conditions; however, this worry did not become a reality, and the Nest Clan just put them into the underground world.

An Jiyue suspected that the Nest Clan was either preparing some kind of big move, or that something went wrong and they were unable to organize an attack. In any case, the vanguard successfully passed the most dangerous section, and Barrel, who was following behind, also shot the military station all the way to the door of the underground world. As for the third batch of troops commanded by Gotrek Brokenstar, the girl didn't need to worry about them.

The roads in the underground world are very easy to navigate. The tunnels and caves left by the rift worms are of regular shapes, and the ubiquitous fluorescent moss that grows on the tops of all caves and tunnels ensures that the underground world has an adequate supply of oxygen.

Wherever the dwarf army passed, there were animals and plants that were unique to the underground world and had never been seen by the surface races. Fungus pigs, lizards, and salamanders slithered in the small forests formed by fungus trees, fish swam in the clear underground rivers, and large bats as big as house cats flew in groups in the sky, leaving only the echo of their wings.

The Sons of Rocks looked at everything in front of them in amazement, and some engineers even took out paper and pen to start drawing, trying to record this unprecedented and bizarre sight. There are many rumors about the mysterious world deep underground in the dwarf society, but when they saw it with their own eyes, the dwarves realized that those "absurd bedtime stories" were too conservative in describing the underground world.

The vanguard marched for two days in a tunnel with a diameter of more than one mile and a very regular shape, and arrived at the first cave they encountered on this trip. The rift worms hoped that a single cave could accommodate a complete tribe of cavemen and all the renewable resources they needed, so the caves in the underground world were generally dug very large.

It was large enough to allow the Eagle Guard to fly normally in this place, although An Jiuyue only brought a team of swordsmen this time and no other Aurora units.

Chapter 232: The Nest Tribe's Response

Deep in the underground world, in a cave.

The queen of the nest tribe, Nadel, ended her deep meditation and just opened her eyes to see her subordinates standing around her. "What's the situation?" The queen stood up from the soft cushion, and her six spider-like insect legs supported her body at the same time. She moved her upper body, which looked like a human woman, and her pupils reflected the hesitant faces of her subordinates: "Where are the people on the surface?"

The clan mothers and clan champions looked at each other, and all of them turned their eyes to the most favored clan mother. The clan mother could only say: "The surface people have arrived at the Reflection Fortress."

"It seems that this meditation took longer than I expected." Nadel looked calm. At least her subordinates couldn't tell what she was thinking. "Has the messenger returned? Is there still no reply from the Overlord?"

Lord, a title that belongs exclusively to Namtaru.

"While you were meditating, we sent two more groups of messengers," the tribe mother who had spoken earlier said quickly, "and currently no group of messengers has returned. Is that right, um... I don't mean to be disrespectful, I mean..."

"The decision of the master cannot be questioned!" Nadel raised her voice instantly. Looking at the tribe mother who was too frightened to move, and also her favorite daughter, Nadel softened her tone a little: "What the master is doing is too important. It is directly related to whether we should continue to stay underground or return to the legendary hometown."

Nadel walked out of the meditation room, and the clan mother and clan champions hurriedly followed. "How many troops does Reflection Fortress have now?" the queen asked.

"Seventeen battle groups of stinging bees, six battle groups of needle bees, and one battle group of flying bees. Except for the flying bees, all are fully staffed," the clan mother answered without hesitation, "In addition, there is a hunting group of guard bees, fifteen groups of heavy bees, three groups of bombarding bees, and two titan bees."

"Is that all?" Nadel's voice was slightly doubtful. "Where are the reinforcements?"

"It will take at least one more cycle for the Red Sting Clan's Venom Bees and the Steel-Gnashing Clan's Blade-Breaking Bees to arrive. They are the closest troops to the scene. The other battle groups are two cycles away," the Clan Mother said somewhat aggrievedly. "Those damn Faceless Men destroyed the tunnel when they fled. Our army can only take a detour."

Faceless... Just hearing this word, Nadel felt her soul begin to hurt again. When Namtaru was sealed, Nadel, as Namtaru's deputy, not only failed to stop the conspiracy of the enemy and traitors, but also suffered a [Soul Scythe] from Dorzer in the battle, and her soul was severely damaged, so that she had to meditate deeply regularly to relieve the injury.

Of course, Dorzer was not doing well either. Nadel resisted the pain of her soul being torn apart and rushed forward to pierce the mind master's head with a spear. Later, Nadel heard that although Dorzer was not dead, he was forced to transfer his soul into the body of a troll and became a non-seeer who could not use psychic power.

The fragile alliance between the enemy and the traitor only lasted until Namtaru was sealed. Not wanting a protracted civil war to break out and for the Faceless Men to take advantage, and most importantly because the loyalists were already prepared by then, the traitors, who had no confidence in a quick victory, decided to exile the loyalists, and the leaderless loyalists had no choice but to accept this "goodwill".

When the seriously injured and unconscious Nadel woke up, all the clans that remained loyal to the overlord and refused to change sides even after Namtaru was sealed were driven into the most barren caves in the underground world, where they struggled until recently.

In the battle to liberate Namtaru, the other three loyal queens, including Namtaru's favorite youngest daughter Mikne, were all killed (see Chapter 98). Only Nadel, who had no fighting ability and was left behind to look after the house, survived.

The master returned and all the traitors surrendered. Without mercy, forgiveness or compassion, Namtaru killed all the upper nodes of the rebellious clan and took over the hive again. Nadel once again received a call from the master, and she accepted her new task with great fear: to complete the comprehensive integration of the hive while Namtaru was sleeping and recovering from her injuries.

The newly appointed Queen of the Nest Clan did a good job of this task. Although she had to enter deep meditation from time to time for a few hours or a week at most, and there was a serious lack of upper nodes to help share the work, Nadel still completed the initial reorganization of the entire Nest Clan. For the first time in history, every node of the Nest Clan was placed under the control of the same will.

Namtaru woke up on time after sleeping for half a year. The injuries she had suffered in the previous battle with Amon Chaka were completely healed, and her strength was restored to its peak. The Overlord praised Nadel's work. As for the Faceless One, he took advantage of the chaos in the Nest Clan and almost escaped with his most valuable belongings... Although Namtaru was a cold-blooded tyrant, she was reasonable. She thought it was not Nadel's fault, and she would not punish Nadel for it.

After collecting and analyzing various clues, the Nest realized that the Faceless Ones had fled to the surface. Although they also originated from the surface, the Nest now only knew a few words about the surface world stored in their memory glands. They didn't know what the outside world looked like, let alone what happened to the Old Saints and their lizard monsters.

Long before she was sealed, Namtaru had the idea of ​​leading the Nest Clan back to the surface, and everything she did was working towards this goal. After a brief thought, Namtaru decided to send a reconnaissance team to explore the way.

The reconnaissance team had two tasks: one was to track down the escaped Faceless Man, and the other was to find a passage to the surface. After several weeks of hard work, the first goal was basically declared a failure, as the Faceless Man had cleaned up the traces very well and they lost track of him; however, the second goal was successful, as the reconnaissance team found a tunnel that had not been discovered before and was obviously newly dug.

After ten thousand years, the Nest Clan saw the sun again. The reconnaissance team carefully squatted at the tunnel exit for several days, but never found any trace of lizardmen. Instead, they saw some strange creatures that they had never heard of.

Nadel consulted a lot of memory glands before finding the information about this species: Elves, one of the many experimental results of the Ancient Saints, live on a magical floating island called "Ulthuan", are good at magic, have longevity, have a mysterious affinity with plants and animals, and have a nominal leader called the "Eternal Queen".

The reconnaissance team tried to capture several living targets and bring them back, but they suffered a loss in the first encounter: the elves lived in a strange forest, and the whole forest was shrouded in magic. The magic of the elves did not prevent the nests from entering their forest, but it would interfere with the senses of the nests and make them walk into an ambush without knowing it.

After losing a clan champion, Namtaru changed her reconnaissance strategy. The Overlord sent more troops, and her new order was that the reconnaissance troops were only allowed to move around the forest. Their mission was to monitor the forest and capture any intelligent creatures that seemed to be able to communicate. For this purpose, Namtaru also sent a team of worker bees to the surface and built a prison to hold prisoners.

Namtaru had not expected this to be of much use, but a month ago, news suddenly came that the reconnaissance team had captured an elf. Namtaru immediately set out to personally go to the surface to interrogate the captive.

In contrast to the Faceless, whose mental power is relatively average but whose precision is extremely high, the upper nodes of the Nest Clan generally possess extremely powerful mental power, but their control is crippled compared to the Faceless. The common-looking queen of the Nest Clan can use telekinesis to freeze a mad giant salamander, but she can't even use the entry-level mental suggestion with difficulty. When fighting in battle, she basically relies on simple and crude tricks such as mental blast to blast her way through...

The only exception is Namtaru. The Overlord of the Nest not only possesses a great mental power, but also has excellent control over psychic energy, even by the standards of the Faceless Men.

In the entire Nest Clan, only Namtaru could perform such a technical skill as [Mind Reading]. In other words, Namtaru had to personally interrogate the captives, after all, the Nest Clan had never chosen the skill of torture (Note 1). In this regard, Nadel had proposed to bring the captives back, but Namtaru thought about it and rejected the suggestion.

Just go ahead. Namtaru in full power is an army by himself, and the most elite Nest Clan troops will also accompany him, so there will be no problem with safety. But after Namtaru left, another group of surface people suddenly organized a large army to kill them.

Judging from the time, Namtaru should have almost reached the surface. The two sides were too far apart, beyond the maximum effective distance of mental communication - if there was a queen, it would be barely enough, but Nadel had been half-crippled since her injury, and her strength was much weaker than before, and the new queen had not yet been born.

Nadel sent out a series of messengers, but there was no response. This was not necessarily because the messenger encountered an accident on the way, but more likely because the journey was too long. The messenger had not yet arrived at Namtaru; however, the surface people's army had already broken into the underground world, and if they did not respond, they would really kill them at their doorstep.

Nadel, wounded in spirit, was unable to command the army, and none of her men were up to the task: these Clan Mothers and Clan Champions were all recently hatched, and almost all of her original men had died in the battle to liberate Namtaru.

"Arrange a pack bee," Nadel made a decision after pondering for a long time, "to send me to the Reflection Fortress."

“Mother!” The clan mother who had spoken earlier was horrified: “Your current state…”

"I'm not going to fight!" The queen glared at her daughter who was less than a year old. "I'm going to talk to them. We don't have any conflicts with the surface people. Before the master comes back, I have to at least find out why they came here."

……

Note 1: This is actually related to the living environment of the Nest Clan. The educated cavemen will not reveal any information, and any torture methods will be useless, and the Faceless Ones will not succumb to physical pain.

Chapter 233 Rescue

After carving a new mark on the wall, Nais sighed softly.

Today was the 38th day since she was captured by the bugs. Including the Curse Singer herself, there were still only three residents in this underground prison, and the big bugs had no intention of interrogating them. The undead living opposite the Curse Singer had been cursing in various ways for a month, and probably finally ran out of curse words, so he was silent all day yesterday.

The bugs rarely appeared except for delivering food and water once a day. It is worth mentioning that even the Nehekhara undead had a share, although it had long lost the ability to eat. The food provided by the bugs was a strange light gray paste, which tasted basically tasteless except for a very light salty taste. As a meal for prisoners, this thing had no disadvantages except that the quantity was small. At least it was edible and completely harmless to the eater.

During her imprisonment, Nais did try to escape, but the injury on her left leg greatly affected her condition, making it difficult for the spell-caster, who was not good at destructive spells, to cast spells. What's more terrible is that those big bugs are extremely sensitive to the abnormal flow of magic wind for some reason. A few days ago, she finally recovered some strength and just started to recite the spell, and two guard bees rushed in with their fangs and claws bared. At that time, the spell-caster almost thought she was going to be killed...

...To Nayis's surprise, the bugs not only did not kill her, but they did not even use too much force. Afterwards, Nayis only had a few bruises on her body, and a heavy obsidian collar on her neck, engraved with some strange symbols she had never seen before. This collar suppressed her ability to cast spells. To be more precise, Nayis could no longer sense the wind of magic - her magic senses were blocked by this thing.

The human next door had been in a state of madness since that brief lucidity, and was completely unable to communicate. Her own spellcasting ability was also restricted, so Naise could only try to communicate with the undead living opposite with difficulty.

Nais knew the Nehekhara language, though she didn't speak it very well. After some effort, the undead was finally willing to talk to the spellsinger. It claimed to be from Ka-Sabbai, the southernmost city among the Nehekhara city-states, famous for its developed metal smelting industry and powerful heavy infantry. Its patron god was Geheb, the god of earth and strength among the Nehekhara gods, with a lion's head and a human body. It itself was a tomb herald and a champion warrior of Ka-Sabbai.

Due to the unique funeral culture and some, uh, "historical reasons", the once glorious Nehekhara has now become a kingdom of the dead. Priest kings from different dynasties returned as undead at the same time, and they once fought over who was the real master of the city-state. It was not until Emperor Settra woke up that the land of the dead was barely combined into a whole under the might of Khemrikha, and many Tomb Kings were ordered by Settra to go back to sleep.

According to the champion warrior named Susayb, the noble monarch who now rules Ka-Sabai is Atum, the last priest king in the history of the city-state. Not long ago, Atum fell into a deep sleep for unknown reasons, and before he lay back in the coffin, the last order issued by the priest king was for Susayb to lead an envoy to the south.

"South?" Naise asked quickly, "Are you going to that forest?"

"King Atum asked me to visit the master of the forest with gifts," the 2-meter-tall skeleton pounded the bars of the cell in frustration. "We were ambushed by those insects when we were still a day's journey from the forest. My men were beaten into a pile of broken bones, the gifts were stolen, and I was captured by a half-man, half-insect monster."

"Can you describe this 'half-man, half-insect' creature in detail?" The spell-singer said, "It sounds like it should be the commander of the insects, or at least a big shot who can give orders in their society."

"Geheb, even bugs have nobles these days! Apart from Nagash's puppets, I have honestly never seen such an evil creature," Susayb sat on the ground, and the gold ornaments on his body made a crisp sound when they rubbed against each other. "Its lower body has six legs, and it looks like a hybrid of a scorpion and a spider, enlarged to the size of the strongest bull. Its upper body is like a woman, with its forehead, cheeks, and hands covered with insect shells, and its hair is made of long, thin limbs."

"And the eyes are pure black, and there are two particularly thick and long hairs?" asked Naise.

"That's right... huh?!" The Undead Champion followed Asrai's gaze and saw a familiar figure appear silently at the end of the corridor and arrive in front of his cell in a few steps.

The Tomb Herald suddenly jumped up from the ground, two pale bone claws grasping the railing, staring at the mysterious creature that easily defeated him. The latter looked at it, and then turned his gaze to the wood elf in the opposite cell.

The Clan Mother opened her mouth and said in a plastic Elsalin tongue, "Come out."

The spellsinger reluctantly did as he was told, dragging his nearly crippled left leg and limping to the front of the cell. "Don't listen to her, elf!" Suseb shouted, "Turn around and face me! Face the lion of Ka Sabai, monster! You..."

The tribe mother didn't look back. She looked down at the wood elf who was staring at her through the fence, then stretched out her right hand behind her. The tomb herald was immediately blown away by telekinesis and hit the rock wall with a "bang".

Seeing this, Nais lowered her head and gave up some irrational thoughts. The cell door creaked open, and when the spellcaster was about to move out, he saw the clan mother suddenly turn her head back, and two enchanted arrows with flaming arrowheads were frozen in mid-air, and the feathers at the end of the arrow shafts were still trembling slightly.

In the darkness at the other end of the prison corridor, more than a dozen arrows quietly emerged from the shadows, and then all stopped half a meter away from the clan mother. The clan mother's pupils shook slightly, and all the arrows turned around and went back into the shadows, faster than when they came.

Nais clearly heard a few muffled groans. Almost at the same time when the arrow was thrown back by telekinesis, in the dark corner near the tribe mother, the shadows moved a few times, and two shadow dancers without any protective gear, with magic battle patterns painted on their faces and exposed arms, jumped out, one wielding two short swords, and the other holding a spear in both hands, and attacked the tribe mother from both sides at the same time with lightning-fast movements.

The tribe mother turned around, and the two shadow dancers were instantly frozen in place. The short swords and spears that were about to touch the tribe mother's body trembled, and their users could not move them forward even a little bit even if they tried their best.

The archer hiding at the other end of the aisle attacked again, and Nayis, who was concentrating, finally heard the subtle sound of the bowstring. Just when the spellcaster thought the attack would work, she despairingly saw the clan mother calmly drag the two shadow dancers who were immobilized by telekinesis to her front, blocking the direction of the arrow.

"No!!" Nais's cry could not stop what was about to happen. The energy emitted by the magic tattoo on the shadow dancer's body blocked several arrows in succession, and then more arrows bit deeply into her flesh.

After a brief silence, the rangers put away their longbows, drew their swords and rushed over shoulder to shoulder. The clan mother dispersed the telekinesis wrapped around the two shadow dancers, and the latter immediately fell to the ground like a bag of flour.

"Ridiculous." The tribe mother said in stiff Elsalin. The invisible telekinetic blade passed in front of her, and more than a dozen rangers were cut in half at the waist at the same time, with warm intestines and blood flowing all over the ground.

All of this happened within ten seconds, and Nayis, whose left leg was crippled and whose spellcasting ability was restricted, could only watch. Just when the spellcaster had given up hope, he caught a glimpse of the clan mother, who had just looked like she had everything under control, staring at the other end of the aisle with an extremely solemn expression.

"(Aslai swears), my soldiers!" Naisi heard an unusually familiar voice, cursing in a completely unfamiliar tone: "What the hell, telekinesis is amazing!"

"Morgan, be careful!" The spellcaster shouted at the top of his voice, "I have never seen the witchcraft used by this thing before. You..."

The telekinesis sent Nais flying. When her back hit the wall, she heard the sound of her ribs breaking, and more than once. The spellcaster fell to the ground again, and the broken ribs pierced into Asrai's lungs.

Naise fainted from the pain quite simply.

The author says:

Author's note: I wanted to have Nayis say "Can this thing talk?" when the tribe mother spoke for the first time, but after thinking about it, I decided not to. First, this is a wood elf, not a high elf. Second, Nayis has been traveling outside for many years and has seen all kinds of alien races. How could she say such a thing?

Chapter 234 "Quick Negotiation"

At the edge of the underground world, in the cave where the dwarf vanguard is located.
