Brian came to this bright cave again alone.

He found that the door here was open, the passage was unguarded, and the smell of blood that had been sacrificed to intelligent races was slightly lighter, making him always feel empty.

"Has the female elf left?" A glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.

Then, he immediately denied his ridiculous idea.

Because he noticed that the red dragon egg on the altar was still there, working tirelessly to absorb magic power.

The color of the dragon egg became as dark as ink, but it shone with a strange lava-colored light.

Brian stared at the altar and was silent for a long time. Finally, he resisted the urge to check the dragon eggs and chose to enter the sacrifice room cautiously.

He saw that the hall of the sacrificial room was also empty, and the evil spirit that permeated the air disappeared without a trace. Even the traces of the sacrifices were nowhere to be found.

There was only a figure wearing a black robe with sharp curves facing him, standing in the middle.

Brian suppressed the tension and uneasiness in his heart, raised his head as if nothing had happened, and met a pair of blood-red eyes hidden in the hood.

He saw this demon servant pull back his black hood, revealing his beautiful pale face.

The demon servant named Saris Silver Song raised her finger.

Brian, who was walking, immediately felt as if he had hit an invisible wall, which made him instinctively want to cast a teleportation spell to escape.

However, this thought was forced back by him immediately.

Because he could clearly feel that the other party did not have any ill intentions towards him.

"It's a coincidence that we can meet noble surface elves in the underground world. Don't be excited. I just happened to pass by here and met you by chance."

Brian stopped, deliberately kept a distance, and took the initiative to greet her in his proficient common language:

"Madam, it's nice to meet you. My name is Brian. I come from the Kingdom of Cormyr in the surface world. If you don't mind, I think we can..."

"In fact, I dislike it." The female elf interrupted him coldly, "Are you humiliating me by talking to me in human language? Or are you trying to attract my attention in this way?"

"I'm going..." Brian muttered quietly.

"You look down on me, half-elf?" the female elf sneered, her face full of contempt, and she raised her hand unconsciously.

"Please don't get me wrong. In fact, I know you, Your Royal Highness."

Brian took a deep breath, suppressed the tension in his heart, and said with a smile, "I have never heard of Princess Silver Song of Illanse City's temper becoming so hot."

"Do you know who I am?" The female elf once again put down her hand ready to cast a spell, her cold eyes filled with murderous intent.

"I have heard of the Yinge family." Looking at a servant of the demon lord, Brian felt that his palms were sweating, and there was a chill on his back. He bit the bullet and spoke to her in fluent Elvish language.

Talking eloquently:

"She has a high reputation for her financial resources and prestige, and she commands a group of elite elf rangers and wizards, which is enough to compete with most of the kingdoms in Faerûn, so the title 'Princess' sounds pretty good, I can feel it, you hear

You enjoy it very much, right, Your Highness Princess?"

Salis Yinge frowned and said nothing. Her cold eyes became slightly softer when she looked at Brian.

After a long silence, she looked at him with a complicated expression and said:

"It can be seen that you have elven blood. Of course, humans have plundered everything from us, so why is it so strange that they have taken away some things from our women? Go away, born of violence and robbery

Half-elf, I don’t want to see you seek your own death, nor do I want to see you make a futile act of justice due to the innate rashness of human blood.”

"At least justice is priceless, and so is a person's soul."

Brian was a little disgusted with the tone of her words, and retorted coldly: "Or are you saying that you have sold your soul in exchange for wisdom and strength?"

"It's not your turn to lecture!" After being told that he was in pain, the female elf shouted coldly at him with an annoyed expression.

"It's really not my turn." Brian said without any sign of weakness. "After all, I have never been under the trees of Evermeet Island, the High Forest and Cormanthor, and I have never seen young people like you.

The elves’ arrogance and selfishness are engraved in their bones.”

Selfishness is not a problem for an elf. His purpose in saying this was just to anger her.

"Are we selfish?"

Just as Brian imagined, the delicate face of the female elf became distorted with anger, "Human beings are completely ungrateful and selfish.

After our elven army retreated, for the holy war, the expeditionary force once again returned to Cormanthor and the sea of ​​trees in the High Forest, in order to crusade all the evil around them that threatened human territory. We guarded those pitiful human villages, but

Everything I saw was an indictment of how the despicable human thieves and shepherds took over and treated the remnants of the people during our retreat. Even the tomb of my mother's family and the moon blade that had been passed down for thousands of years were brutally destroyed.

The hands of a human thief.”

"Did humans completely forget about us a hundred years ago?" She yelled at Brian angrily:

"Why would an elven warrior risk his life just to protect this creature? What kind of fool would waste his patience trying to find goodwill and aid from humans."

"That's because this world is not as simple as you think. Your self-righteous retreat is worse than a rout! Because you see another race living with more passion and fulfillment, and you feel depressed, so you

He ran away with his tail between his legs."

Brian looked at the female elf with a hint of unnoticeable guilt. He used sharp words to hit her heart so hard that she couldn't say anything to interrupt him.

"You narcissists, nerds...old pedants! You look at me in a condescending manner and call us half-elves with disgusting pity as people born of violence and robbery. But,

Have you ever thought that in fact you don’t understand life at all? You can’t imagine how broad human vision is. You are afraid of human beings because you dare not live as vigorously as them. I dare you noble golden elves

Basically..."

"Shut up!"

The angry female elf suddenly had a strong black energy around her body, which scared Brian so much that he shrank his eyes and quickly shut up, ready to run away at any moment.

However, to his surprise, the opponent did not take action, which made him feel relieved, knowing that his provoking method had taken effect.

She restrained her breath, forced herself to calm down, and said to him:

"We don't understand life and are arrogant, but at least all of our expeditionary soldiers on Everjum Island who willingly devoted themselves to the holy war died without mercy, just to stop the evil. The blood and courage of the elves are the only way for humans to fight the flames of hell and ancient resentments.

The only remaining barrier between nightmares.

As for humans, in the eyes of humans, they never know what dedication is. Greedy and selfish rulers are never afraid of disasters. No matter how big the disaster is, as long as all races are unlucky together, they never explore the truth and disdain others.

To understand the truth. After the disaster, they will only be glad that they escaped, laugh at others for leaving, and preach that 'there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests'. Isn't it?"

"No!" Brian responded coldly, "At least I don't agree with this statement."

"The most despicable thing in this world is that there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests." He said with deep sorrow:

"Because this sentence completely denies conscience, contract, morality and faith, betrays all civilization, makes people go to extreme selfishness, and makes it possible for bad people to be dishonest, unethical, and only interested in profit.

Bottom-line behavior provides a high-sounding excuse.”

Brian finished these words in one breath, but a trace of sadness inexplicably arose in his heart.

He suddenly realized that he had been developing in this direction and was gradually becoming what he hated most.

After hearing Brian's sonorous and powerful words, the female elf didn't know how to refute for a moment.

After a long silence, she finally spoke again:

"Since you understand these principles, then leave as soon as possible. I don't want to be your enemy. Please do it while I still have the last trace of sanity left."

She turned around, facing away from Brian, and let the robe slide down her back.

On her lower back was the mark of the devil: a hand with six fingers.

Brian noticed that the evil charm in her body continued to radiate outwards, as if it was eroding her mind all the time.

She turned her back to him and said sadly: "I have been living in the shadow of others all these years, helping him complete tasks and helping him regain his honor. I have had enough, so I have to go my own way and work for myself."

Live by yourself and pursue the dark paths of strength.”

"You are referring to your brother Severil." Brian's eyes flickered and he said slowly, "So, what is the most important to you? Your honorary mission or your

Blood relatives?"

"It seems that you know more than just my identity. In this way, our meeting is not just a coincidence. I really admire your courage."

When the female elf with her back to Brian heard this, she paused slightly and sighed almost imperceptibly, "I have made my choice, because there is no family love in the world at all, and now, I want to start living for myself.

"

"That's such a shame."

Brian quietly took out his weapon and whispered: "Because the bloodline of your Yinge family has been cut off, I witnessed Severil's tragic death at the hands of the ancient black dragon, and I was still thinking about him until he died.

My relatives who disappeared for no reason."

The female elf, who was surrounded by the breath of the abyss, was heartbroken when she heard this. She trembled all over, turned around in disbelief, and looked at Brian.

——"Ma Youfu Micro Meteor!"

However, what greeted her was eight fist-sized bolides, which hit her body head-on.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

Accompanied by bursts of explosions, the female elf's body was instantly submerged in the gorgeous magical flames as if struck by lightning.

Brian put away his weapon and sighed softly.

He had a reason to kill her. The fundamental reason why the other party was able to argue with him for so long was because he had just become a slave of the demon lord, and the remaining kindness and reason had not been completely wiped out.
