“According to the customs of the Golden Elves, the prince’s wedding must be held three times.
The first time, in the early morning, all the elves were invited to participate in the forest to pray for the world tree that created us elves.
The second time is at noon , when the priests in the city are asked to open the statue of the guardian of the soul, and the priests of the goddess of peace are asked to witness the ceremony and seek blessings.
The third time was a dinner party, where the prince held a family dinner and invited important officials in the Elf Empire to attend.
The problem was at the dinner party.”
When Allama said this, his body shuddered visibly.
The mere recollection of this could make a legendary hero feel terrified. Qi Ge could see that the Red Lady had left a deep psychological shadow on Alama.
“Everything was normal at the dinner that day.
Everyone sat on the ground, eating moss and fruit, and chatting about the state affairs of the Elf Empire.
Some lamented the loss of the guardian statue of the soul, some denounced the cursed dragon, and some analyzed the future situation of the empire...
Although our elves have experienced some hardships and disasters, everyone present believes that the future will be better.
The banquet began. After the little Princess Malodiya finished playing the harp, she went downstairs to change her clothes. The prince came over slowly, holding the hand of Lady Red.
On that day, Lady Red wore a snow-white dress and the Crown of Wisdom given to her by the prince. Her beautiful face and scarlet pupils exuded a noble and charming aura, which was so suitable for His Royal Highness the Prince.
His Royal Highness spoke a few words, then turned to Madame Red, bent down and kissed the back of her hand.
Everyone was waiting to applaud and give their blessings to the two.
But when the prince stood up, he found a sharp glass knife stuck in his chest and blood was gushing out.
The shape of the glass knife was very strange, as if it was just a piece taken from a broken mirror.
Just like that, in front of many elves, it passed through the prince's chest.
I remember that at that time, Madam Red's expression became extremely hideous and painful.
As she laughed loudly, she frantically pulled the sharp glass knife out of the prince's chest, inserted it again, pulled it out again, and inserted it again...
Until the prince turned pale and completely stopped breathing.
The scene appeared too quickly and was too impactful, and many people were unable to react.
When the screams rang out, the elves with stronger combat capabilities among the guards and ministers quickly attacked Madam Red.
But their attacks were like a drop in the ocean and had no effect on Madam Red.
Madam Red threw Prince Malody Crown to the ground, and a blood mist emerged from the prince's body. The blood mist was absorbed by Madam Red's white clothes, leaving a tiny red dot on her white clothes.
For some unknown reason, the ceiling of the hall suddenly shattered, and the roof made of magic crystals shattered into pieces, falling to every corner of the hall.
Then, the killing began.
When Madam Red raises her hand, another Madam Red will appear in the hall. Like Madam Red, they cannot be attacked at all.
But they can easily kill elves with glass knives, and even magic shields cannot withstand their attacks.
Madam Red was like a madman, slaughtering the elves one-sidedly.
The elves died one after another, and the entire palace was filled with wailing and screams.
At that time, I was still very weak and could do nothing except drawing.
I was so frightened that I sat on the ground, leaning against a stone pillar, and witnessed the massacre with my own eyes.
We elves can't defeat Lady Red, so we can only flee.
But they couldn't escape. The door was surrounded by a circle of red candles. No one could leave and could only wait in despair to be slaughtered.
Every time Madam Red killed an elf, she would draw blood mist from their bodies. The mournful blood-colored mist filled the entire hall. Every piece of blood mist would eventually condense into a blood spot on Madam Red's clothes.
The red candles outside the banquet hall disappeared, but there were almost no living people in the entire banquet hall. Even the young elves who had not yet reached adulthood were turned into blood mist by Madam Red.
Including me, there were only three lucky people who survived.
But this is just the beginning.
Outside the banquet hall, there were countless red ladies wielding their knives.
That night was a bloody night that made us, the elves, feel deeply saddened.
When Madame Red finished the killing, her gorgeous white dress had turned completely red, so red that it seemed like blood could be squeezed out of it.
Only one elf out of a hundred survived in the entire Elf King's capital.
Then, she brought her thirty maids in red wedding dresses, stepped on the bloody footprints, walked step by step to the sky, and entered a huge blood-colored mirror.
At that time, I felt cold all over and endless fear enveloped my heart.
I looked up at the sky, wanting to yell and scold, but I couldn't open my mouth.
I have to admit, I am a coward.”
Qi Ge felt a little strange when listening to Alama's painful mumbling.
He had read in the Library of Wise that Madam Red was a Level 4, Rank 7 Mythic Soldier [Blood Mirror Ancestor].
A level 4, rank 7 myth was certainly considered powerful in that era, but it was still too outrageous for him to destroy the entire Elf Kingdom by himself.
A level 4 soldier, reaching level 7 is just a demigod. How can a demigod hero destroy the capital of the elves by himself?
That was the capital of the Elf Empire during its heyday when the Golden Fleet was famous and the Silver Elf Valkyries dominated Asia.
There must be details here that Allama is not aware of.
Qi Ge asked his doubts, and Alama hesitated for a moment and replied:
"I roughly know why, it should be related to the blood-colored mirror in the sky.
Under the shining of that mirror, we all became extremely weak, and our spellcasting ability, attack power and speed were all suppressed to very low levels.
Plus, Madam Red was in a strange state, so we couldn't hurt her at all."
Blood-colored mirror... Qi Ge kept this information in mind and then asked:
"Madam Red is so cruel that she even spared no young elves. Then why did you survive?"
Alama's expression was confused:
"I don't know why she didn't kill me, and the elves who survived don't know why they didn't die either.
We are like the lucky ones chosen by the goddess of luck, escaping death. We are also like the unlucky ones cursed by the goddess of misfortune, having to live with such cruel, bloody and painful memories. "
"My condolences."
The seven pigeons lowered their eyes.
"It's okay, I'm used to it." Alama looked in good shape and seemed to have really walked out of the shadows.
But Qi Ge recalled that there were lights everywhere in Alama's laboratory, and even in the dark corners that Alama never went to, there were candlesticks with candles.
Moreover, there is not a single red piece of furniture in the entire laboratory.
Apparently, Alama is not as used to it as he says.
Qi Ge then asked:
“What you just said is still a bit too general.
Based on your experience with Madam Red, what kind of person should she be?"
Alama fell into deep thought again. After a long while, he raised his hand and said:
“If we ignore Lady Red on the last day, Mary Red should be a virtuous, gentle, beautiful and kind-hearted woman. At least, everyone, including the prince and I, thinks so.
She doesn't like to laugh, but she is not cold.
When chatting with her, she speaks very little, but always gets to the point and makes people feel warm and relaxed.
His Royal Highness the Prince pursued Madam Red for a total of four years.
During this period, Madam Red lived in that cold and lonely underground city.
From the moment she woke up, she began decorating the dungeon where she lived.
In just one year, flowers were planted from the entrance of the underground city to the floor where Madam Red and her friends lived.
Among the flowers, there are all kinds of animals, from white rabbits to elk, all of which are particularly close to Lady Red.
Now that I think about it, these might all be Madam Red’s disguises.”
Seven Pigeons: ...
A vampire who likes to grow flowers and raise small animals? !
No wonder the elves can’t tell the difference . Who wouldn’t be confused?
“That’s right!”
Suddenly, Alama, who had been reminiscing, said quickly:
"There's another strange thing."
"Strange thing?"
Qi Ge looked at him puzzledly.
Alama said in a deep voice:
“I’m sure of it.
At dawn the next day after the bloody night, all the elves who were present and survived, except me, somehow could not remember what happened on that bloody night.
They remembered that it was Madam Red who killed Prince Malody Crown and that it was the undead who massacred the city, but they didn't remember how Madam Red killed the prince or how she massacred the city.
This even includes the little Princess Malodiya.
I repeatedly emphasized to them what had happened last night, and they felt the same panic and indignation as I did.
But in less than a few seconds, they will forget all about it again.
Even if I wrote this down, they would not see it.”
There is such a thing...
The seven pigeons remained silent.
The Blood Mirror Seals the Sky, suppressing the troops and heroes of an entire capital, erasing their memories afterwards, and even creating cognitive impairments.
All of this doesn't seem like the method of a demigod, and even a false god might not be able to do it.
Could it be, the true God...
"It shouldn't be fate and magic. The sea god and the sun god probably hadn't been deified yet at that time.
The four element monarchs should not be involved in the affairs of the elves.
Either wealth or peace.
Wealth is fine... peace...
The goddess of peace teamed up with the undead to attack her own people who believed in her?"
Thinking of this, Qi Ge shuddered and threw the thoughts out of his mind.
You cannot make any speculations about the true God, and if you want to speculate, you have to wait until he goes offline.
Qi Ge flipped through the information about the Red Lady that Alama wrote to him. The description of the Red Lady in it was similar to what he said, except that it was more specific in some small details.
These are insignificant details, just like an unscrupulous novelist trying to make up the word count by adding watermarks, but from Qi Ge's perspective, these details are precisely a complement to the image of the Red Lady.
"When the golden roses cultivated by the prince bloomed in Mary Hong's garden, Mary Hong, who always had a blank expression on her face, sat among the flowers, gently stroked the golden roses with her hands, and smiled at the prince...
It can be seen that although Madam Red is a ghost, she is not without emotions.
If these were not Mrs. Red's acting, then she must have been moved by Prince Marauder.
How strange.
If she had held the order to kill the prince from the beginning, why would she be tempted now?
Could it be that she didn't want to kill Marauder at the beginning?"
Qi Ge turned to the last page of the diary, which contained a scroll.
The scroll shows the scene of Lady Red walking up into the sky step by step wearing the vampire's red wedding dress.
In the painting, the lady in red is extremely beautiful, like the center of the world, dazzling and eye-catching.
The elven capital beneath the Red Lady was painted by Alama into a miserable, blood-red color.
The scroll is signed: "Scarlet Parade".
In this painting, Lady Red and her maids are filled with an awe-inspiring sense of sacredness and inviolability, while the elven capital they slaughtered appears eerie and strange.
In line with real historical events, the visual contrast between the villain and the victim transformed into each other brought about a shocking feeling, which instantly left a deep impression on Qi Ge.
“As expected of a court painter, Alama’s painting skills are truly amazing.
What a pity, he was an artistic genius whose time was wasted by biological modification."
The moment Qi Ge closed the scroll, the system prompt sounded.

After confirming the mission update, Qige said to Alama:
“Your Majesty, I have received the reward and I am very satisfied.
I am very happy that this is a pleasant cooperation for both of us.
Your Majesty, do you have any impression of the undead scourge that appeared in the Elven subcontinent after the Bloody Night?"
Alama shook his head and said:
“I’m sorry, but after the bloody night, I was scared out of my wits.
It’s not because of Madam Red’s killing, but because I am the only one of all people who remembers Madam Red’s killing.
I suspected that there was something strange in the capital that I couldn't understand, so I stayed in my manor and didn't dare to go out.
Later, when Jenny and Princess Malaudia organized the elves to evacuate, I chose to leave as soon as I arrived in Avili.
Most of what I know about the Scourge of the Undead is just hearsay, I didn’t see it with my own eyes, and now I can’t remember it clearly.”
"That's a pity."
Qi Ge sighed helplessly and stood up.
"Your Majesty Alama, thank you for your help. We will see you later."
Alama was anxious: "Wait, you're just leaving like that? No, what about my Corrupted Blood Spiders?"
"This is none of my business..."
Qi Ge raised his eyebrows with interest.
Alama said quickly:
"Your Highness Xingfeng, I know you are very capable, we can discuss what you want.
Gold? Resources? Just ask. "
Qi Ge laughed:
"You should know my identity. You don't need these, so why would I?"
"Hey." Alama clapped his hands and said, "Well, I have something that you like, just pick it up."
"That depends on what else you have that can impress me. You said that information and knowledge are valuable.
Your Majesty, as a long-lived elf, perhaps you know something that I might be interested in?"
Alama's expression changed twice, and he sighed:
"Your Highness Xingfeng, since you are interested in Madam Red, are you interested in the Blind Brotherhood?"
"Blind Brotherhood?" Qi Ge raised his eyebrows, sat down calmly, and said in a low voice:
"Tell me about it."
Alama showed a wry smile:
“It was the Undead Army led by members of the Blind Brotherhood that unleashed the Undead Scourge in our Elven Empire and slaughtered the elves.
As a remnant of the Elf Empire, I naturally thought about revenge.
Over the years, I and the remaining tribesmen have never given up collecting intelligence on the Blind Brotherhood, and we have always had the habit of sharing intelligence with each other.
If you are interested, I can give you all the information I have collected.
Of course, the prerequisite is to exchange them with Corrupted Blood Spiders. The more Corrupted Blood Spiders you catch, the more specific the information I can provide you."
[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for triggering the task: Spider Brewing Wine]
Spider wine
Mission requirements: Capture level 4, stage 1 acid spiders or level 4, stage 2 corrupted blood spiders.
Mission reward: Determined by the number of captures. 】
Mission triggered!
Qi Ge was cheered up: "Your Majesty Alama, I accept your request. I will give you a reply this afternoon."
Alama was stunned: "It's afternoon again? These... acid spiders and blood rot spiders live in dangerous wild monster areas, deep in the dungeons. Even experienced hunters need a week to find them.
It only takes you half a day to catch it and bring it here?"
Qi Ge smiled slightly:
"That's someone else. I have a unique way of catching them."
…
…
When talking about acid spiders, we have to talk about their strange habits.
Like other spiders, acid spiders build nests and weave webs, but their webs are very unique.
The acid spiders underground will find a cave to settle down, then make a house with their own webs and densely arrange a large amount of spider silk outside the house.
These spider silks are not as sticky as other spider silks, but they have extremely strong information transmission capabilities.
Once the acid spider senses prey passing by through the spider silk, it will quickly rush out of the nest like a chariot, bite the prey in one bite, and then drag it back to the nest along the spider silk to slowly kill it.
Although the acid spider's silk is not sticky, it is very, very thin and extremely difficult to be detected, almost invisible.
Combined with the acid secreted between the acid spider's teeth and its huge size, even scorpion lions are on its menu.
But such a creature has a fatal flaw - they cannot retreat.
The Acid Spider's legs are arranged in a very special way, which allows it to move as fast as a flying saucer.
But because of these strange-looking spider legs, the acid spider cannot move backwards or turn, and can only move forward.
If they want to return to their nest, they need to circle around it.
Based on this, we can develop tools to capture acid spiders.
A small creature that can find spider silk and trigger it, plus a one-way cage that can only enter but not exit, can easily catch them.
Qi Ge certainly wouldn't choose to do it himself, as that would be too inefficient.
He simply sent the method of catching the acid spider to the [Tauren War God] of the Tianxia Hegemony Guild."
"Seven Pigeon God! We are here."
It turns out that Qi Ge still underestimated the players' ability to act.
There was no need to wait until the afternoon. In just over two hours, the Tauren War God led the players of Tianxia Hegemony to complete the task requirements of the Seven Pigeons. There were 36 cages in total, and there was a spider in each cage.
Qi Ge handed all the acid spiders he had harvested to Alama, which made Alama very happy.
"Oh, that's amazing, so amazing!
Your Highness Xingfeng, I still underestimated you. There must be a powerful backer behind you who can do anything."
After Alama received the spiders and counted them, he wisely gave the information about the Blind Brotherhood to Qi Ge.
Qi Ge took the information and found that the record above and below was about the member of the [Blind Brotherhood] who had appeared in the Elf Empire at the beginning - a blindfolded bone dragon.
[That is definitely not an ordinary bone dragon.]
It seemed to be able to control the death energy of the undead. Wherever it moved, a large amount of death energy of the undead would appear out of thin air and continue to spread around.
…
…
Most of its skeleton is white, but there is a small area of ​​red bone near the chest.
We speculate that those unique parts may be his weaknesses.
…
…
We are quite certain that he has the ability to cast magic, as more than one elf has seen him chanting powerful and mysterious dragon magic in the air.
However, although these magic effects seemed to be very powerful, they did not pose any threat to the local area, and not even the trees fell.
…
…
After comparing their looks, shapes, figures, speaking voices and other aspects, I finally came to this confusing conclusion.
The bone dragon who once led the massacre of the four continents of our elves was none other than the lord of the dragon lich, King Duogothos.
Why on earth did he want to massacre us elves?
Is it for the sake of our elven civilization? Or is it to eliminate our competitor?
I have no way of knowing.
I only know that from today on, I will never coexist with the undead. 】
