What a discourtesy.”
The cold ranger captain showed a fleeting smile and introduced himself.：
“My name is Meikel, Meikel Ghostblade, the frontline commander of Underdark Hollow and the husband of Lisa..”
“Hey, Mrs. Bernice will want to see you.”
Sister Pomegranate blinked and whispered：
“Your mother-in-law is in our camp. Mrs. Adele thinks it's better to be prepared before letting Ms. Lisa go to see her. I mean, if you care about your wife, why not follow us tonight to see her first?？
We have other weapons in the camp that you will need too.”
“Um？”
Merkel suddenly frowned and said：
“Ms. Bernice is still alive? No, if they are alive, why don't they come back? My wife has been missing her parents. Could it be that something happened to them like Adele?？”
“The situation is very complicated and I can't explain it in a sentence or two..”
Xiaoweiming rolled her eyes and waved her hands.：
“Just come down with us and you will know. Don’t worry about us cheating. You can bring many people with you. Elf friends are welcome in our camp, and we can also complete the archery contest between you and me there..
I like to make friends！
Especially those friends who are capable, so no matter you win or lose, I will give you a Hammer Guard as a gift. Anyway, I have several replacement weapons..”
“friend? No! We're not friends yet.”
Merkel was a little moved, but he still said coldly：
“I don’t know how you Transians understand friends, but in the Dark Valley, the word friend cannot be used indiscriminately until blood is shed for a common cause. Just wait for me for a while. I will follow you down after I have arranged my defense. of.
But we must return before dawn.”
——
“After you were taken away by my parents, your mother struggled to survive a night. When dawn came the next day, she took her last breath in pain, and she kept calling your name in a trance before she died..”
In a stone building that could barely be called a "temple" in Shadow Valley, Adele placed a bunch of wild flowers picked by the roadside in front of the sarcophagus where her mother was buried..
Her childhood friend Lisa Bella stood behind her, playing with a snake-shaped dagger, and said in a low tone in the flickering candlelight.：
“I won’t ask you where my parents are. I know they treat you as their own daughter. The fact that they will give everything for me means they will do the same for you. They will not give up on their daughter. The fact that they didn't come back proves that something terrible happened to you during your escape..
Oh, that was a disaster.
The night you left, we lost one-fifth of our tribe. Many people died, and more people were robbed. It is said that they were captured into the Goat Man's earth palace. We tried to rescue, but the Goat The people were very cruel, and we were very weak at the time, so we had no choice but to reluctantly give up on them..
The entire valley almost collapsed due to this. Fortunately, Merkel's parents took charge and allowed us to stabilize again..
do you remember them？”
“Are you testing me? Lisa.”
Adele knelt in front of her mother's sarcophagus, stretched out her hand to wipe the inscription on the sarcophagus, and said hoarsely in a vampire tone.：
“You are suspecting that vampires control me and use me as a sharp knife to insert into the hearts of the people. It seems that you have grown into an excellent leader. Just like what we played when we were children, you always try to play the leader among a group of children..
You are much stronger than me and much better than me.
Yes.
I remember Uncle Manu and Aunt Jacques.
Uncle Manu's left eye was blinded by the venom of the Dark Scorpion in the gladiatorial arena, but he is still the best shooter among the gladiators of the Medjeva family. He can easily shoot a skylark at a distance of three hundred yards. And Aunt Jacques is a powerful warrior like your mother. She can fight with double shields..
What she is best at is attacking enemies with flying shields.
Together with Bella and Aunt Bernice, they became my mother's guardians and my mother's most trusted friends..
I remember Merkel.
He is a very shy boy. He has been following you as a follower since he was a child. The night before we encountered the disaster, he even picked flowers to express his love to you..”
“Alas, I was deceived by that guy in the end. There was no way, there were so many people in this valley, I could only choose a general from among the dwarfs. Fortunately, Merkel was very upbeat, and with the help of Uncle Manu and Aunt Jacques Next, he became our 'Ranger General'’.
Haha, in fact, he is just a team leader, but we also need to pay attention to a sense of ceremony..
By the way, Uncle Manu and Aunt Jacques are already the elders of the valley. They will also be very happy to see you back. I will take you to meet them later..”
When Adele told these past memories, Lisa, who had always been wary, showed her first smile, and she whispered：
“In fact, Markle and I have always wanted a child, and I have decided to name the child Adele, just to commemorate my former best friend. Then, fate sent you back to me..
I really don’t want to talk politics with you at this time. I would rather chat with you about the stories we have experienced with each other over the years. But maybe this is also destiny, allowing you to return to us at this precarious moment..
Just like the miracles your mother once performed, Adele, you may be the one sent by Avalon to save Dark Valley..”
“Um？”
Lady Adele heard an ominous message from her childhood friend.
She stood up and carefully released the spell on her bracelet to isolate the building from all prying eyes. Then she looked at her friend..
she said：
“Something happened to you? I guess it has something to do with those shadow elves? Was your dislike of us just an act? Or is this conversation itself a bait? I have to tell you, Lisa, before you go any further, you have to know that Uncle Bella and Aunt Bernice are not as dead as you think..
In fact they did die.
But their peace was disturbed by the gnoll warlock, and now they wander the world as undead..
they miss you very much.
don't let them down.”
“this”
The valley leader whose face is not as delicate as Adele but can definitely be called beautiful widened her eyes. Her figure is a standard elf figure and has nothing to do with the Great Demon King Dudu..
she looked at adele.
The Mistress of Shadow Hollow clenched her fists after realizing Adele wasn't joking.
She hesitated for a long time before speaking：
“We are not in danger, at least not yet, but at this moment when you appear, several elders in the valley and I are hesitating whether to truly accept those members of the Medjeva family. To tell you the truth, Adele.
Merkel and I both hate them because we know what our fathers suffered in the Eternal Rift..
But many tribesmen in the valley don’t think so..
Especially now that we have confirmed the destruction of the Medjeva family, many people think that we should absorb the escaped shadow elves, who hold the spellcasting power we need..
And their leader is a fate-weaver girl！
You know those priests of the Spider Lady can predict fate, and we need their prophecies.”
“Is the Medjeva family really destroyed? Why? Is it because of the shadow elves’ machinations?？”
Adele asked：
“And why did they come to seek refuge with you? This doesn't make sense at all！”
“That family died in a natural disaster.”
Lisa whispered：
“We don’t know the specific situation, but after they first appeared more than a year ago, we sent a team of Far Travelers to venture across the Dark Mountains and return to the Eternal Rift for reconnaissance. Elder Petunia personally led the team there, After she came back, she confirmed that the city of Medjeva had indeed fallen..
Monsters emerging from the Underdark have taken over. Matron Medjeva and her warrior leader have disappeared, and the entire city has turned into hell..
As for the specific situation, those shadow elf exiles have never said anything..
The reason why they came to us is because their fate-weaver girl made a prophecy. She said that here they can find an opportunity for the Medjeva family to rise again..”
“prophecy? Doesn't sound reliable.”
Adele scoffed at this, saying：
“Where is the fate-weaver girl? can i meet her？”
“she is missing.”
Lisa sighed helplessly and said：
“This was the worst thing that happened in the valley in the past month. To be precise, she was kidnapped. The idiot took a few sword chanters to try to establish contact with the difficult blood alliance vampires in the Black Flame Pass, but after they returned ambushed by goatmen.
Several sword chanters were seriously injured, and the unlucky fateweaver girl was captured and taken to Baphomet Canyon. Those shadow elves are bewitching my people and trying to persuade us to send people to rescue their prophet. I am having a headache because of this..
But you came just in time！
You said you brought Transian warriors？
It just so happens that I have a job for them here. I want to confirm whether they are really fearless.”
