Chapter 684 Goodbye Tanan
Qi Ge patted his chest and calmed down the impulsive Mawei.
Maiwei took back her shadow sword and returned to Qige's body.
Qi Ge stood in front of the Minotaur guard, saying nothing, just giving Wolfs a look.
Wolfs stepped forward and said anxiously:
"Hey, why are you so impulsive?
This is your uncle's distinguished guest, and I brought him here specially to see you.
You can't possibly suspect him of being an assassin or a robber, can you?"
"Of course not."
The Minotaur guard said tremblingly: “To have a myth to protect him, he can only be a great figure above the legendary level.
It was my fault that I didn’t look carefully enough.”
Wolfs immediately replied: "Oh! That's right! I tell you, the master is very kind. As long as you apologize sincerely, he will not make things difficult for you."
Qi Ge exhaled and said, “That’s enough, Wolfs, he was just doing his job, he did nothing wrong, no need to apologize.
let's go."
Wolfs stood up with a solemn expression, fearing that Qi Ge would blame him: "Yes! Sir."
"Sir, this way please."
Seven Pigeons followed Wolfs into Florida Alama's mansion.
This is a mansion hollowed out in the cave walls.
Due to the special topography of the cave, the furniture, floors and ceilings of this mansion are built with materials similar to the surrounding cave rocks. The extensive use of natural materials such as rocks and limestone can maintain the harmony between the house and the surrounding environment.
At the same time, these materials themselves are waste generated when hollowing out caves, which can greatly reduce the construction cost of luxury houses.
This design is undoubtedly very exquisite, but it also somewhat reveals a sense of shabbyness.
It can be seen that Wolfs' uncle is not as rich as Qi Ge imagined.
Real nobles who are not short of money in their dungeons will use materials such as obsidian and fluorescent stone that are moisture-proof and luminous.
For example, Muriel’s bedroom. The interior decoration of that mansion is full of fantasy elements in Western style. A large number of crystals with magic symbols and mysterious textures interpret the low-key luxury to the extreme.
Especially the big bed covered with crimson scorpion lion skin, which makes people want to fall asleep as soon as their back touches it.
Qi Ge and Wolfs sat and chatted for a while, and then Florida came back.
He was wearing the brown armor commonly seen in dungeon lords. He was thin, with a weathered look, and looked like a man who had been through a lot. He didn't look like a businessman or a wizard, but rather like a mercenary who traveled around everywhere.
"Wolfs, I heard you came to see me.
I’m so glad to hear you’ve gotten through it.”
As soon as Florida entered the door, she opened her arms warmly and gave Wolfs a big hug.
Wolfs hugged Florida and laughed warmly:
"Uncle, thank you for your generosity three years ago. Otherwise, I would have died in the Falling Moon Territory.
This is the previous debt, including principal and interest, a total of 9,000 gold coins."
"Haha, okay." Florida casually took the bag from Wolfs' hand and patted Wolfs on the shoulder:
"Meet the distinguished guest first. We uncle and nephew will catch up later."
Wolfs saw Florida gave him a questioning look, and suddenly realized what was going on, and immediately introduced himself:
"Uncle, this is Lord Xingfeng, Honorary Permanent Officer of Bracada, apprentice of the legendary architect Agaide, and my current lord."
"The disciple of His Majesty Argeid!"
The name of a man is like the shadow of a tree. Florida has great respect for the seven pigeons:
"To my surprise! To my surprise! It's His Highness Xingfeng who has come to visit. I, as the host, have failed to entertain him well and even made His Highness wait for so long. This is really too rude."
Florida quickly said to Qige:
“Your Highness, the best restaurant in our Labyrinth City is Ox Spring, which has our most distinctive cheese, soda milk, and milk wine.
They are all made from the first-water colostrum of high-level female minotaurs, and cannot be found anywhere else.
Do you think it’s suitable? If it is, I will arrange it for you immediately. "
"No need to be so polite."
Qi Ge stood up with a smile and shook hands with Florida as a sign of respect.
He whispered:
“I came here for no other purpose than to be here for your ancestor Allama.
I suspect that your ancestor Allama may be an old friend of mine, so I come here specifically to borrow your Allama family's records about him.
I don’t know… is it appropriate?”
"It fits! There's nothing inappropriate about it!"
Florida suddenly realized:
"I was wondering, how could a nobody like me have any relationship with you? I see.
The records about our ancestors have been kept in the library under my room. I will get them for you right away."
Florida chatted with Wolfs for a few more words, then turned around and left in a swift and decisive manner.
A moment later, he came out holding a thick diary.
"Your Majesty, this is my grandmother's diary. There is also a self-portrait of my ancestor on the last page."
"Oh? There's a portrait?"
This is really a pleasant surprise.
Qi Ge turned to the last page of the diary and saw two figures standing side by side.
The figures are a man and a woman, both wearing very fine clothes.
The woman had long aqua blue hair and was leaning against the man's chest.
The man's iconic black pupils and snow-white skin allowed Qi Ge to recognize his race in an instant.
"Dark elves...your ancestor Arama is actually an elf."
Qi Ge gripped the diary a little tighter.
In the world of Yasa, dark elves have always been a member of the elf race.
After the extinction of the Elf Empire, the Dark Elves did not follow the remaining elves to Avili, but went to Nigan, which was more suitable for their survival.
Over time, the dark elves and the elves underwent a civilizational split.
Cruelty, slavery, and dungeons full of conspiracy and betrayal have forced the dark elves to become an evil and dangerous neutral race, incompatible with their somewhat naive relatives living in the forest.
"Arama, dungeon, dark elves..."
Qi Ge took a deep breath and quickly flipped through Wolfs' grandmother's diary.
This diary is a standard girl's love diary, which records the whole process of how Grandmother Wolfs and the dark elf Alama met and fell in love.
At first, Wolfs's mistress met Alama at a banquet.
She was amazed when she saw the portrait that Alama painted for the host of the banquet. Alama was dressed simply but cleanly and looked very handsome, so she asked Alama to paint her portrait.
Alama's paintings are vivid and lifelike, and they are 200% beautiful. They always fascinate Wolfs' grandmother and even make her believe that the one in the painting is the real herself.
Therefore, Wolfs' grandmother repeatedly asked Alama to paint for her.
As the saying goes, the first time is new, the second time is familiar.
As the painting sessions became more frequent, Wolfs' grandmother became particularly close to Alama.
Just like in the game where CG images are gradually unlocked as the favorability increases, the content of the portraits of the two people is also gradually changing.
From the tightly wrapped formal attire at the beginning, to the sexy wizard robe, to the nurse uniform, sexy lingerie, succubus costume, and then to being naked...
In short, just like every welfare chicken and cameraman, what was supposed to happen to the two of them happened.
Originally, this should have been just a very common soul communication and wonderful encounter in Bracada [only entering the body but not life], but unfortunately, something went wrong.
In the diary, the description of this episode is very vague.
The general idea is that when Alama was painting Wolfs' grandmother between the waist and legs, he couldn't resist painting the pink white.
My grandmother yelled that it couldn't be painted white , but she couldn't help but squeeze her legs tighter and tighter because she had been standing for too long.
It just so happened that Alama was drunk and not in a clear mind, so he ended up painting the pink color into milky white.
Painting is a small matter, but human life is a big matter.
Whether it is the dark elves or the mages, they are not the kind of despicable race that would look down on their own offspring.
In the end, Alama paid the price for his love of drinking and became the son-in-law of Wolfs' grandmother.
Obviously, the father of Wolfs' grandmother, a powerful wizard noble, was very dissatisfied with the fact that his daughter was made pregnant by a powerless elf who could only paint.
Although he accepted Alama reluctantly, he made things difficult for him.
As a noble elf, Alama had never suffered such injustice.
When the child grew up, he asked Wolfs' grandmother for some gold coins, left behind all his troops, and went to Negan alone, saying that he would not go back until he had made a career.
And then he never went back...
Thirty years in Hexi, thirty years in Shanxi, thirty years still fantasy, the dead are the greatest?
Qi Ge didn’t know whether Alama died in the end, and neither did Wolfs’ grandmother, but he had no news after he went to the underground city, which was the same as if he were dead.
To the extent that the second half of the diary is filled with grandmother Wolfs's resentment and abuse of Alama.
Qi Ge rubbed his brows and arranged the known information in order.
1. There was an elf named Alama, who once served as a court painter in the late Elf Empire. He painted the work "Greeting of the Blood Elves" and it is very likely that he had seen the Red Lady with his own eyes.
2. Wolfs' ancestor was also called Alama, a dark elf who was good at painting. He met Wolfs' grandmother, fell in love with her through painting, and married her.
Later, because he was not welcomed, he left Wolfs' grandmother, went to the underground city and disappeared from the world.
3. The sorcerers in the dungeon hold a magic competition every 50 years.
In each field, only one person will emerge victorious and receive the Medal of Honor.
A water medal representing the highest level of potion.
The Fire Medal represents the highest level of war equipment.
The Air Medal representing the highest level of self-created magic.
The Earth Medal represents the highest level of plant research.
Only when a sorcerer collects 4 medals can he obtain the permission to conduct biological transformation research.
And was allowed to participate in the "Black Dragon Biological Competition" held every 50 years and won the Black Dragon Medal:
The sorcerer Alama had collected the four medals of earth, fire, water and wind long ago, and launched several challenges to the black dragon medal.
Alama is well-known for always being the runner-up and always missing out on the Black Dragon Medal."
"These three Alamas look like the same person no matter how you look at them."
Qi Ge felt that the truth was very close to him, and he only lacked the last bit of evidence.
He put down the diary and asked Florida, who was drinking with Wolfs:
"Excuse me, why did you come to the underground city in the first place?"
Florida's expression was somewhat complicated:
“Sir, you should have seen that our grandfather disappeared in the underground city.
In fact, after my grandmother passed away, some changes happened in our family soon after.
In order to ensure the continuation of the family, we had to divide the family into two parts, one part stayed in Bracada waiting for transfer, and the other came to the dungeon to look for the ancestor Alama.
Although it is not mentioned in the diary, according to our grandmother's word of mouth, Grandfather Alama was a master hero at a very early age, and his strength was even stronger than that of my grandmother's father.
If we can find Grandfather Alama, with his strength, he should be able to help us get through this crisis."
Qi Ge was excited: "Did you find it?"
Florida's expression was somewhat bitter:
“Found it.
My grandfather told me that by the time they found the ancestor, Allama had already become a legendary hero.
That should have been eighty years ago, but our ancestors were very indifferent to our arrival.
He said that we were not his children, but our grandmother and her father's children. This was what our grandmother and her father told him in person.
He left because of his grandmother's reputation.
So, just for the sake of my grandmother, he gave us some gold coins to survive and sent us away.
However, he still prepared some business channels for us and used some connections to help our family gain a foothold in the Labyrinth City, which can be regarded as the utmost kindness to us. "
Seven Pigeons: ...
ha?!
Fuck! Wait a minute, let me sort this out... huh? Something is wrong, I can't figure it out, your circle is really messed up.
Next to Qi Ge, Wolfs' mouth opened into an O shape.
He asked in great shock:
"Uncle?! Didn't you tell me you didn't find it?!"
Florida's expression became even more bitter: "After all, this is not a glorious thing. We thought we could keep it a secret from your department."
Qi Ge rubbed his brows and said:
"I'm sorry, I have no intention of prying into your family's privacy.
Don't worry, this is normal and I understand that every big family with a long history will have some things like this.
I will keep this matter to myself and will never tell anyone.”
"Thank you, sir."
Florida's expression improved a little.
Qi Ge then asked:
“ Is the creator of the bloody monster?
The indomitable sorcerer who challenged the Black Dragon Medal several times but always lacked luck?"
"Yes, that's him." Florida nodded and said:
“Not only in painting, our ancestors have always been very talented and have made achievements in various fields.
In fact, we all think that the life creation of the ancestor can be ranked first, but his identity as a dark elf made him treated unfairly. "
It’s true... Qi Ge looked at Wolfs, whose worldview was completely shattered and who had not yet recovered from the shock, and remained silent.
I just randomly picked up a sea wizard from the sea, and it turned out that he might become the foreshadowing of the mystery of the demise of the Elf Empire. What an amazing fate.
Qi Ge took a deep breath and then asked:
"Can you still contact Alama? I want to see him."
Florida hesitated:
“Of course you can, but we can’t guarantee that the ancestors will be willing to see you.
I am very sorry, but our relationship with our ancestors is not as close as you think."
Qi Ge heaved a sigh of relief and said immediately:
"It doesn't matter. You just need to pass on the message. It's his business whether he wants to meet or not."
Qi Ge said seriously:
"Please give him a message for me.
I am here for Lady Red.
That’s all I need to say.”
"I'm here for Madam Red..."
Florida chewed over this sentence again and again, but couldn't figure out what Qi Ge meant. He just guessed that this might be related to Alama's romantic affair.
So he said:
"Okay, I'll contact the ancestors right away."
"Bang!"
Just as Florida was about to leave, the Minotaur guard standing guard at the door suddenly broke open the door with his back to the room, startling both Wolfs and Florida.
Florida frowned and asked:
"Niu Leather, what are you doing? You have a distinguished guest here, and it's very rude of you to behave like this, you know?"
"Hehehe... My Lord..."
The minotaur guard's teeth were chattering as he spoke.
"Someone wanted to come in, and I didn't stop him. No, no, no, I should say I didn't dare to stop him."
"Who?!" Florida immediately became nervous.
"One, a demigod!!"
"ha?!"
With a bang, the battle axe was thrown to the ground. The axe head cut deeply into the solid rock layer like cutting butter, and it kept swinging.
Qi Ge looked outside the door. Tanan strode into the room, looked around nonchalantly, and then gave Qi Ge a creepy smile:
"You little brat, you just ran away after the fight, and didn't even wait for me in the Forest of Wisdom. My rules are still with you.
What? You still want me to swallow it?"
"That's not possible, it's not easy for you to find me.
Your rules are mine, and you know where I go.
There is no place in the entire Asian world that can stop you."
Qi Ge put down his hood, smiled, opened his arms, and hugged Tanan.
This scene brought back the souls of Wolfs and Florida, who had been frightened out of their wits.
"Hiss! It's the Lord's demigod friend! The Lord is indeed very powerful."
"Hiss! It's the demigod friend of my nephew's lord! What kind of god is this? Is there any chance for me to have some connection with him?
This, this, this... Even if I hold on to a toe, I can walk sideways in the maze city."
Qi Ge touched his forehead with his finger, and the universal rune flew out of his body and merged with Tanan.
He smiled and asked:
"Your Majesty, you are not looking for me just for your rules, right?"
"You're smart."
Tanan patted Qi Ge's shoulder and said:
"Come with me, let's find a place to talk."
"good."
Qi Ge turned around and said, "Wolfs, wait for me here."
"Yes! Sir!"
Wolfs' voice was unusually loud, for fear that if it was any lower, it would seem disloyal.
Tanan grabbed Qi Ge's arm, and with a whoosh, he took Qi Ge into a special space.
This space looks like an ordinary little house, but all the furniture is flying in the air and constantly changing its shape.
Seeing Qi Ge's curious eyes, Tanan smiled and said:
“This is my already formed demigod realm, barely a prototype of a kingdom of God, nothing special about it.
I came to you mainly for two things.
One thing is to inform you that now, except for the two of us, all other candidates have given up their qualifications, so the election for the leader of the Conferred God will be held in three days.
At that time you can participate through the Conferred God System, don’t forget to come.
Another thing is that I want to remind you that the Fengshen Organization is not a monolithic organization. I even suspect that there are traitors in our Fengshen Organization. "
"Traitor?" Qi Ge's pupils shrank: "What do you mean?"
"It's not surprising to have a traitor, it's strange to have no traitor." Tanan said softly:
“The criteria for joining the Conferred God Organization is to be a neutral force and a hero with sufficient potential.
Although the screening criteria are very strict, the Fengshen organization has been established for too long after all.
It has always been unknown whether those who passed the assessment at the beginning can always maintain their original intentions.
Under the supervision of the Mother Goddess’s deification system, any attempt to directly disclose the deification to the outside world will be blocked.
But those demigods like me are all cunning and treacherous. They can find ways to bypass the blockade of the Conferred God System. I don’t find it strange at all.
You have to know that the ultimate goal of our Conferred God Organization is nine false gods at the level of El Zeus.
They are the best in the Asian world in terms of both intelligence and strength.
Therefore, Qi Ge, in the Fengshen organization, except for those few people you can completely trust, you must never reveal any of your plans casually.
Whether you become the leader or not, you have to remember this.”
Qi Ge bit her nails and asked:
"Your Excellency Tanan, regarding the traitor issue, do you have a target in mind?
"Yes, there is, but I have no evidence."
Tanan shook his head and replied:
“Hardward of the Dungeon Force, Luna of the Elemental City, the Dragon Slayer of Bracada, and Gru of the Rampart are all my targets.
Hadvor is profit-driven. He will work for whoever provides him with funds to research the ballista. He is a very bold guy who dares to empty the national treasury to build a laboratory for himself.
I suspect that if the benefits were great and there was an opportunity, he would even dare to betray the Mother Goddess Asa.
Luna, Dragon Slayer, and Gru all have one thing in common, which is that they are too close to false gods.
The Dragon Slayer and El Zeus have known each other for a long time, and she has helped El Zeus do a lot of dirty work.
The former president, Credel, who brought her into the organization, is dead. After so many years, it is hard to guarantee that her mentality has not changed.
Luna is simply the agent of the Phoenix pseudo-god in Elemental City. She shares the same fate with Elemental City and the Phoenix clan.
When the interests of the Conferred God Organization conflict with the interests of the Elemental City, I can guarantee that Luna will choose the interests of the Elemental City without hesitation.
Gru has a very good relationship with the Golden Dragon Queen, the wife of the Golden Dragon King.
The Golden Dragon Queen was second only to Catherine in importance to him.
These people all have false god backgrounds.
Their upbringing and the power they hold now are all inseparable from the false gods. "
"Even Gru can't be trusted?"
Qi Ge frowned, somewhat unable to accept it. In his heart, Gru has always been a protagonist of the world no less than Tanan, and many of his plans are related to Gru.
Tanan looked at Qi Ge's appearance and laughed disdainfully:
"Do you trust Gru because you think he's a decent person?
Innocent.
Boy, justice is sometimes more terrifying than evil.
Evil knows how to adapt, but justice is often stubborn and will not give up until it achieves its goal and will never compromise.
Gru seems to be easy to talk to normally, but once he encounters something that conflicts with his principles, you will know how difficult he is.
I guarantee that for the true love and justice in his heart, he would not hesitate even to destroy Yasa."
A complicated expression appeared on Tanan's face:
"He is a stubborn guy who has followed Catherine for more than ten years and stayed by her side at all times. Even though he was so close to her and had so many opportunities, he still kept his promise not to meet with her."
