  "Human?"

  Eliot put down the wine glass in his hand, his face tense.

  "Is it true?"

  "Yes, sir. Reports from Brandon Rock Castle indicate that they have indeed clashed with humans and the entire city is now under martial law. It appears they intend to take action against those humans!"

  "This..."

  Upon hearing this, the three giants of Black Onyx Castle looked at each other in dismay, completely unsure of what to do. Originally, they had gathered a large number of people, planning to show off their strength at Brandon Stone Castle. But unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived near Brandon Stone Castle, they found that the entire city was on high alert, and it wasn't even because of them?

  This is the disadvantage of delayed information in the dark region. The dark region's underground tunnels are dangerous and difficult to navigate, making it extremely hard to transmit information. This time was no exception. People from Black Onyx City had already arrived at the entrance of Brandon Stone City. If they hadn't discovered something was amiss and sent someone out to scout ahead, things might have turned out even worse.

  But now... what will they do?

  Aware of the gaze of others, Elyte also furrowed her brow. According to their original plan, they didn't come to Brandon Stone Castle to truly fight each other. Instead, they planned to openly enter and talk with each other, flexing the muscles of Black Magma Stone Castle, allowing these greedy and cunning gray dwarves to retreat, and then they could discuss the previous merchant team's issues.

  But now the sudden appearance of humans has thoroughly disrupted their plans, especially after learning that human armies are nearby. The people of Black Onyx Castle are suddenly panicked and uneasy. Unlike the gray dwarves who have the Dark Territory behind them, Black Onyx Castle is now completely rootless here. Moreover, compared to the other three races, Black Onyx Castle has suffered the deepest damage from humans - otherwise, how could they possibly leave the surface and run to this dark and desolate place to live?

  This time, the subordinates brought by Elite and others were basically all those who had fought with humans on the ground before. At this moment, as soon as they heard that humans had also arrived in the dark realm, there was a commotion. Some people asked them to withdraw immediately, after all, it seems that these humans are now looking for trouble with the gray dwarves, and the Black Onyx City is not suitable for getting involved in this muddy water. It's best to leave here early and then plan for the long term.

  But there are also people who think that coming early is not as good as coming cleverly. Since these damn humans dare to come to their doorstep, they should let them taste the ferocity of the dark realm. Humans are not familiar with the dark realm, but they are not strangers to it either. At least, they have a certain level of understanding of it. If they can take this opportunity to give humans a severe blow, wouldn't that be considered avenging their past grievances?

  The hatred of the Black Onyx City towards humanity is transcendent, so this proposal also gained a considerable amount of support, but also received a considerable amount of opposition.

  Most of the supporters are radicals who hate the cruel means by which humans exclude others, forcing them to leave the surface and come to this dark and gloomy place. They will do anything that can make humans feel uncomfortable. And here, the Black Onyx City is the local snake, even if they can't beat it, they can just pretend to attack and run away, which is not a troublesome thing at all.

  The opponents, on the other hand, were conservatives who also detested humans but had been intimidated by their ruthless and merciless purges. They did not understand why these humans would leave the safety of the surface to venture into the dark realm, and if they accidentally provoked them again, what if those humans were to purge the Black Obsidian City once more? The Black Obsidian City had no foundation in the dark realm; if it were to be purged by humans once more, it would be completely doomed!!

  "Breath..."

  Eryndor Thorne reached out and rubbed his temples. The sound of heated argument from both sides reached his ears, but that was to be expected. Everyone had finally worked up the courage to come looking for trouble with the dwarves, only to arrive at their destination and find they had unwanted guests - humans, no less.

  "Let's leave it at that for now, we'll think about it some more! You all go out first!"

  As soon as Elate finished speaking, the others immediately shut their mouths and quickly turned to leave. In the blink of an eye, only the three giants of Black Onyx Castle and the scout who had brought in the intelligence earlier remained on the scene.

  "Anything else?"

  Looking at the scout standing beside him, not moving, Diva glared at him with dissatisfaction. As a Tauren, Diva was also feeling anxious and uneasy about the appearance of humans. The resistance on the ground for the Tauren was much greater than that of the snake people and half-vampires. Half-vampires were at least indistinguishable from humans when they were young, and some people might not even awaken to their vampire heritage in their lifetime, living as a human. Snakes, although subjected to cruel oppression, always had their own tribes, with very close connections between each other.

  However, Tieflings are different. Tieflings are the mixed blood of demons and other races. To put it bluntly, most of these Tieflings were born from monsters produced by some sort of ritual. They have been wandering the streets since they were young, experiencing all sorts of human emotions, and are the ethnic group that has been tortured the most by humans. The Tieflings also plot against each other, never forming a unified alliance. This time, when going to find trouble in Brandon Stone City, Divo had to put in a lot of effort to suppress other disputes. But unexpectedly, at this moment, there are even humans appearing in the dark region?

  What's going on here?

  The trouble of this series had already made Diwo worried, and now seeing that there was still someone who didn't know the situation staying here, he suddenly let out a cold hum and glared at the other person. Feeling Diwo's sharp gaze, the scout also shrank his head in fear.

  "Yes, it's like that... I also have something very important to report to Lord Elate."

  "What's wrong?"

  Upon hearing this, Elyte's spirits lifted once more, and in response to his inquiry, the scout quickly gave an answer.

  "It's like this, when I was in contact with Brandon Stoneshield before, that...I heard some news about Elise..."

  "Is this true?!!"

  At this point, not only did Ellet rise up in surprise, but also Diva and Lass stared at him with wide eyes. This is no wonder, as a matter of fact, the reason why Black Onyx City was so grandiose this time was that two-thirds of it was for the missing Eris. She was not only Ellet's daughter and the little princess of Black Onyx City, but also the backbone of Black Onyx City's three giants in the future, who would lead Black Onyx City to its peak. To say nothing of her being a high-ranking mage at less than twenty years old, she was also a rare spellcaster. The lifespan of half-vampires is very long, and it's no problem for them to live for two or three hundred years. This also means that Eris will definitely become a legendary-level caster in the future, and even further, becoming a demigod is not impossible!

  In the dark region, strength is respected. Even Elites like them are now just entering the legendary level. But if Elris can reach a higher height than them in the future, a legendary peak caster or a demigod-level existence, it will definitely guarantee the safety of Black Onyx City in the dark region.

  It was for this reason that the three leaders personally brought people to Brandon's Rock, searching for Elyse's whereabouts. Ellett did not believe at all that his beloved daughter would be killed by a group of gray dwarves, so he persuaded others to come to Brandon's Rock to find out about his daughter. After all, after his wife's death, Elyse was Ellett's only hope.

  "What's going on? Tell me from the beginning!!"

  "Yes, yes."

  Faced with Elate's inquiry, the scout also didn't dare to conceal anything and opened his mouth with a sweat-drenched face.

  "It's like this... According to what those gray dwarves said, before this they had formed a team to go and annihilate the goblins in the nearby area..."

  "Eliminate the land spirit?"

  Eilif furrowed his brow. Of course they knew there were gnomes around Brandon Rock, and that these gnomes were also a thorn in the side of the Grey Dwarves - it was no secret.

  "Yes, in this mission to annihilate the goblins, Brandon Stonecastle dispatched a team and they successfully completed their task. They not only eliminated those goblins but also destroyed their lair. I heard...” The scout lowered his voice. “...I heard that among those who went with the dwarves this time, there was a death mage and three ladies, one of whom should be Miss Eris."

  Eliot was startled at this point.

  "What's going on? Death spirit master? When did dwarves have masters here? What about Eris?!"

  It's like this...

  Under the interpreter's interpretation, Elait finally understood the whole process. Including the dwarf governor who had won over a death spirit wizard, and that death spirit wizard also helped the dwarves solve a difficult problem, which allowed him to obtain the right to live in Brandon Stone City. And this time, he also helped the dwarves eliminate those goblins, it can be said that the death spirit wizard is now a well-known figure in Brandon Stone City.

  "Who would have thought such a thing could happen..."

  Upon hearing this, Elyte's expression grew increasingly somber. He could be certain that the death mage was absolutely a key figure in all of this. Elrise was a high-ranking mage, and the dwarf couldn't possibly be her match. But as for the death mage... it was hard to say. As Elrise's father, Elyte knew exactly what the bane of the magical flame was. If they were facing off against a powerful death mage, then Elrise's defeat wasn't impossible.

  If that's really the case... Elate's heart tightened at the thought. Necromancers weren't good people, they had no respect for life. He always felt something was off, what if his own daughter had already been killed by that necromancer and turned into an undead slave? It wasn't impossible, if Elyse was still alive, why didn't she try to escape? And according to the scout's words, Elyse was helping voluntarily, what did that imply?

  "Eliot, what should we do now?"

  Having heard this, Lass also looked at the half-vampire beside him with a serious expression. In response to Lass's inquiry, Elyte thought for a moment before gritting his teeth and making a decision.

  "For the time being, I'll hold back and go to Brandon Castle myself to take a look!!"
