Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 198 Old Woman

In the camp, the red charcoal in the brazier was providing heat for a tent. This special charcoal, which was almost smokeless, was mostly used by nobles because of its scarcity.

"We drow elves just have darker skin, why do we have to be synonymous with evil?" A drow priest with his hands and feet bound said in the warm yellow firelight, feeling aggrieved: "You on earth really have too much prejudice and discrimination against the elves in the Underdark."

"But I think you drow priests are very spineless." Florina sneered.

She did not have the slightest favorable impression towards the ultimate masterminds who initiated the attack on the Whispering Wind Tribe. In this war, her soldiers would probably die in the thousands.

On the contrary, it was Ashe. The lord did not expect that although this beautiful girl also had a look of resentment on her face, she just sat there without saying a word. It was just as she said, she just came to watch.

The Lord held a feather pen in his hand, a piece of parchment on the table, and crossed his legs, looking like a captain of an anti-pornography brigade:
"Name?"

"Heather, Bei..." Several drow priests signed up one by one obediently.

"Where are you from?"

Levi pretended to draw two lines on the paper, then looked up and looked at the four people.

For a moment, the four of them fell silent.

After a while, the female drow who had been very active and actively answering questions spoke again: "My lord, we came from underground. Isn't this something you all know?"

Levi remembered that the drow priest was called Heather, and she was one of the ones he had stuffed his mouth with a handkerchief.

She is also the youngest and most beautiful among the drow priests.

As a "senior scholar" who studies knight novels, the lord has some understanding of the drow elves, because the drow tribe is also a place that the protagonist must visit in knight novels.

In knight novels, the drow elves live in a matriarchal society and follow the principle of appearance supremacy. Generally speaking, even if one's strength is a little bit weaker, as long as one's appearance is good enough, one can still hold a high position.

As the highest-ranking matron among the drow elves, she is naturally the most beautiful one among them.

However, these are all private contents in knight novels. Your lordship has no way of knowing how much of them are fantasy and historical research.

However, as far as the current situation is concerned, this drow priest named Heather is obviously the one with the highest status among these four drow.

The other three usually waited for her to speak first before they agreed.

"That's impossible!" Florina's face darkened. "The portal from the Underdark to the ground has long been sealed by the gods. Even the Spider Queen you believe in can't open the passage."

"Levi and the others are lying! I told you not to trust these fraudsters who have been telling lies as truth to trick others since they were little!"

As a duke, his knowledge of historical secrets is unmatched by ordinary people. The lies of this group of drow elves can only fool the Lord of Highcliff Castle, who has not read many books.

She had always believed that this group of drow elves was a small tribe remaining on the ground, and they just appeared at the right time.

After all, even the mermaids who disappeared in the magical age were seen by some fishermen a few years ago.

However, Florina only knew some gossip about this, and the authenticity has not been verified.

Generally speaking, this world is huge, and no one can tell what ancient races or objects are left in those corners.

"Haha, not only are you prejudiced against the drow elves, but your ideas are also outdated, and your impression of us is still stuck in old history." Heather showed sarcasm.

"Old woman!" "What did you say!" Florina's chest trembled with anger, veins on her forehead bulged, and she reached out to touch the sword at her waist.

It was obvious that he wanted to split the mouth of the rude drow in front of him in half.

"Oh my good Duke, my good lord." The Lord quickly held Florina's hand and advised earnestly: "These are the four prisoners. Now they are just trying to show off their power of words. We don't need to argue with them. Isn't this a disguised acknowledgement of what she said?"

Feeling the unrivaled power coming from her hand, Florina was silent for a moment and put the sword back.

"And don't be angry. Elves are all immortal. Compared to her, you are as immature as a young girl."

The lord continued to comfort the Duchess.

But I was so angry in my heart. This female drow named Heather was really ignorant of her own life and dared to attack me so close.

If he hadn't tried so hard to persuade her, even if he was killed by Florina's sword, the people present would at most be a little angry and the matter would be over, and the Elf Queen next to him might even applaud in her heart.

"You're right. This Zhuo Er in front of us might be old enough to be Sikai's grandmother." Florina felt much better and regained her composure, speaking in a light tone.

Heather said nothing, keeping her mouth shut.

Among the three opponents present, only the human named Levi did not want them to die.

The test just now made her see clearly the status of these three people.

The female human in the middle obviously had the highest status, followed by the man. On the contrary, the high elf who was a local had the lowest status. He didn't even dare to speak and could only watch from the side.

Levi gave Heather a warning look and then continued his questioning.

"As the Duke next to me said, how could you possibly get up here when you are in the Underdark?"

"My lord, I can only say that a new round of tide has arrived, and many things are beginning to recover. We just happened to encounter an opportunity to leave that area without sunshine." Heather said seriously.

"As for the specific reasons, please forgive me, or we can't tell you in detail."

"I can swear to Goddess Rose that all of this is absolutely true."

What she said was vague, but the lord understood the general idea.

Being unable to do so rather than unwilling to do so means that they must be restrained by something, which prevents them from revealing something important.

"Okay." Levi knocked on the table.

In fact, it is easy to understand. The drow elves are a race that produces many priests, and the powerful spellcasters among them will inevitably know some spells that can prevent them from selling important information.

After all, all drow elves are well-known fraudsters with no credibility at all. Even if they are of the same race, they will not expect the other party to keep their promises.

At this time, some special measures are needed to restrict it.

"Then what is your purpose? Or what is the purpose of attacking the Whisperwind Tribe?" the lord finished speaking.

Florina and Ashe both looked over at the same time.
