Chapter 6, The Lurking Darkness

We only came here at the invitation of the gray dwarf; if it were not for our shared destination, there would be no necessity for us to travel with you. I hope you can understand this deeply

Enoya quietly stared into those purple pupils, not knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional, she pronounced the word "mixed-blood" with great emphasis

In response to Jan's words, Enoia playfully winked.

That is the bloodline of the demon race

At this point, Enoia demonstrates remarkable perseverance. She has shown the fearless courage of an immortal being on more than one occasion. Not only in the face of Verna, but also when confronting the powerful demon race in the demon realm, she has never flinched.

This feeling made Verna very uncomfortable; even in the city of the dark elves, when facing her mistress, she had never been so cautious or so concerned about the other person's feelings

What piqued Jan's curiosity was that dark elves born of mixed blood with the demon race generally hold a relatively high status and position. It is rare to see a dark elf like Verna, who has been exiled. What exactly did she do that even her lineage could not protect this unfortunate wretch?

But why am I being so cautious in the face of this necromancer? Is it because I fear his identity as a mage? This is not the first time Verna has dealt with a mage, yet why does this necromancer feel different from the others?

Jan suddenly found himself very interested in this

I hope you can retract your insulting remarks towards the master, beautiful mixed-race dark elf lady

Only Jan knows that the connection between himself and Enoya is far deeper than they and the *Book* can imagine

This may leave a significant mark in his records

Moreover, I believe you have already noticed it as well

At that time, who will truly perish is an answer that is almost self-evident

And Verna is clearly one of them

In the end, Verna chose to leave. She stamped her foot in anger and then turned around, striding forward. After confirming that the other party had compromised, Enoia returned to Jan's side once again with a calm smile.

Verna was unaware that she had become Jane's "subject of observation". At this moment, she was wielding a long whip, urging the burly bear goblin to move forward. She could not comprehend the source of the fear and unease that arose within her upon seeing that necromancer. She could feel that she was very concerned about the other party's actions, much like a student who is always worried that her teacher will give her a poor evaluation.

Verna feels very irritable

This is the reason for Verna's anxious demeanor in front of Jan. Her other half of the bloodline instinctively reminds the dark elf that standing before her is a member of the demon race, and moreover, one of royal lineage. In the harsh and hierarchically structured society of the demon race, nothing is more significant than this

In the dim underground, an interesting toy can be used to pass the time, my master

It is precisely for this reason that Velna harbors no goodwill towards the necromancer and his subordinates, who suddenly joined her team. She even suspects that the gray dwarf had long anticipated her ambitions, which is why he deliberately brought the necromancer to create trouble for her. Consequently, Velna clearly has no fondness for these two uninvited guests.

Undying beings

Verna did not care about the dangers mentioned by the gray dwarves in the mines; in her view, these lowly creatures were merely trying to dissuade her. However, for a woman of dark elf blood, facing challenges head-on was her choice. She had made ample preparations for this and was confident that she would succeed.

You should not tease her

even the entire northern region

The reason why Verna displayed such fury in front of Jan is not only because she wants to maintain her prestige and status, but also due to fear. As a member of the demon race, Jan can sense that within the body of that dark elf flows a bloodline ignited by burning dark flames

Yes... that's right...

Do not think that the mage is so remarkable. Since you have requested to join my team and act alongside us, you must obey my commands! I certainly know you are a mage, but I can assure you that if you do not follow my orders and even cause me trouble, my sword can just as easily pierce your throat! I guarantee that it will be faster than the time it takes for you to chant your spells! I certainly know you are a mage, but I can assure you that if you do not follow my orders and even cause me trouble, my sword can just as easily pierce your throat! I guarantee that it will be faster than the time it takes for you to chant your spells!

Upon hearing Enoia's words, Jan nodded. He reached out to adjust his glasses and then looked towards Verna, who was standing at the front of the line, waving a whip and shouting loudly. A beam of light flashed across the lenses.

Verna's knowledge warned her that any undead creature possessing intelligence nearly equivalent to that of a living person is the most formidable enemy. Even Baroness's first mistress had to hold a certain degree of respect for those walking corpses. She could be utterly confident that her sword would surely pierce the delicate throat of this girl in the next moment, but she had no doubt that the other party would simultaneously tear open her own chest

Not good, it is a terror claw monster

You ... ...

In order to obtain the power and blessings of the demon race, the dark elves occasionally hold rituals to summon the powerful demons from the demon realm to their side, offering their bodies to these demons in hopes of forming an alliance. During such rituals, there are also instances where children with mixed demon blood are born.

Upon hearing Verna's furious threat, Jan said nothing. Instead, Enoya slightly furrowed her brow, then gracefully glided forward a step—she appeared just like a lady at a ball inviting a dance partner.

However, Verna was clearly unfamiliar with this, and it was precisely for this reason that she felt frightened by this sudden sense of fear. Moreover, from her expression, Jan could guess that Verna probably had no idea that she was of demonic lineage. Otherwise, she would have been able to recognize her identity immediately. After all, in the dark underground world, only the demons are the eternal and supreme rulers.

Through the unique vision of the dark elves, Verna could see the light emanating from Jan's body, representing the warmth of life. It was proof of being alive. However, on the girl before her, she could not see anything similar. If she did not convert to ordinary visual perception, Verna would only think that what lay before her was a stone or something else.

Hearing Enoya's words, Verna was almost driven mad with anger. If this were in the city of the dark elves, who would dare to speak to her like that? The only outcome would be to be tortured to death by the dark elves. However, unfortunately, this is not the city of the dark elves, and Enoya's pale, even slightly bluish skin was clearly warning her of the true identity of this noble young lady

Just as Verna fell into deep thought, a sudden heavy sound of stones striking echoed. Before Verna could regain her senses, a piercing scream suddenly came from ahead. Immediately, she saw that those seemingly harmless "stones" piled in a corner beside the team suddenly stood up, waving their enormous claws and launching an attack on the team before them

It was only at this moment that Jane, who had been silently appreciating the entire play beside her, finally spoke up. Enoia's loyalty to her made it impossible for her to tolerate anyone mocking or insulting Jane. Jane was certain that if Verna dared to say even half a word more, her heart would now be in Enoia's hands.

Zhan En clearly remembers that once her younger sister came to find her, but at that time, Zhan En was busy conducting an experiment and could not be disturbed in the slightest. Therefore, Enoia exerted all her strength to keep Vivian outside the door, showing no fear or intention to retreat even when she was shattered into pieces by the furious half-dragon girl.

Upon hearing this sound, Verna's expression suddenly changed dramatically

Remember your identity! Despicable man!

Verna stomped her feet heavily, the metal-embellished high-heeled leather boots making a loud sound against the ground. With her arms crossed, she cast a disdainful glance at Jenn, who was entirely enveloped in a black robe, as well as the noble young lady standing beside him

When she accepted the task requested by the gray dwarves to explore the ruins at hetushu.com in the depths of the mine, Verna knew her opportunity had come. As long as she could complete this task, she would be able to successfully establish herself in the city of Brandenstone. By that time, she would have plenty of ways to gradually climb to the highest position and rule this city

Jann murmured to himself, while Enoya nodded beside him. During those years in the demon realm, Jann acquired a wealth of knowledge. Although his power was insufficient to wield powerful spells, the power of knowledge is always far beyond mere combat.

As a half-drow, Verna has done much to attain her current status. She relied on the power of the drow to gather the bear goblins and half-orcs, and through her own strength and ruthlessness, she gained considerable prestige in the North. For a drow who has been uprooted and lost the protection of her family, Verna believes that no one could have done better than herself

In the end, even Vivian felt a sense of fear towards Enoia's persistence, ultimately being pulled away by Nabelius, who had rushed over upon hearing the news. Since then, no one dared to underestimate the necromantic girl summoned by Jan.

Ding ... ... Ding ... ... ! ! ''

It seems that she is completely unaware of her origins

In fact, Jan had even guessed how Verna was born. For the dark elves, the demon race is their supreme ruler and sovereign, and all dark elves submit to a demon king named Ross from the demon realm

Thus, even if Jan merely stands before Verna without doing anything, this half-blood dark elf instinctively feels fear; she would want to kneel before Jan, eagerly expressing her submission—this is what a demon should do when facing noble blood.
