Broad World

"Of course, respected mistress, we are honored to be able to watch with you." All the nobles bowed and said in unison. It can be seen from their eyes that they don't care about Lasaona's life or death at all, and some even showed gloating expressions.

Henry secretly saw everything in his eyes, and at the same time secretly sneered at the short-sightedness of the dark elves. But the more stupid the enemy is, the better it is for him, isn't it?

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he acted even harder, showing all kinds of fancy knife skills one by one. It didn't take long for most of the muscles to be sliced ​​off, leaving only the internal organs and main blood vessels, which looked abnormal fear. But what is even more frightening is that this person did not die, and remained conscious. All its internal organs are still working normally, and it may take a few minutes before it dies from blood loss.

"Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack..."

Madam Ardus, standing on the second floor, took the lead in applauding to show her appreciation for the performers. She waved her hand with a smile on her face: "Come on, young male, I have something to ask you. In addition, Fieri, Wildrin, you also follow, today will be a very glorious day, all of you All members of the family must attend." Desbanna is a family with a very long history, judging from the murals hanging in the corridor, it can be traced back at least 10,000 years ago to the era of the Irisri Empire. This also means that this family has existed since the First Crown War and has never been broken for such a long time. I have to say it was a miracle.

Like all dark elf noble families, they dug a huge space under the giant stalagmite as a secret room, enshrining the stone statue of the spider goddess Lolth. Generally speaking. This is the most heavily guarded place of the entire family, and it is also the best place for conspiracy. It guarantees nothing but the Goddess. There will never be a second person to hear it.

Obviously, today is an important day. All members of the Despanel family are here, including four men, three women, plus outsiders like Henry and Aberdell. It can be said that they are gathered together , even Ishtar, who was transformed into a descendant of vampires, was among them. He doesn't look like he's undead at all, though, even with the help of low-light vision. I can still feel the body temperature, which is unbelievable to the extreme. After Madam Ardus entered the secret room, she sat directly on the main seat and asked, "Who can tell me why the Geralt family suddenly left this city, and what conspiracy are they planning? Nim, you first come."

Hear yourself being called. Henry stepped forward and bowed slightly: "Dear mistress, this matter is a long story, and it has a certain relationship with Solaufen."

"Oh? Could it be that Solaufen betrayed us? Feili. I think you need to explain." The mistress immediately turned her gaze to the eldest daughter standing aside.

According to the instructions, the flesh golem pretended to be afraid and flustered on purpose and defended: "I also just found out that that damned man's belief is not the Queen of God, but another god, Eilistraee. He planned it himself." After this conspiracy, he fled to the Underdark with all the members of the Geralt family, planning to find a place to re-establish a settlement.”…

"Low male! May the sun shine on him!"

"That's right, capture him and sacrifice him to the queen."

"Such traitors should be sent to spiders!"

...

All of a sudden, everyone expressed their anger in various ways. Of course, how many of them are sincere is a question mark. At least Henry can guarantee it. At that moment just now, several men definitely showed envious and jealous eyes. They probably wished that they were the ones who controlled the Geralt family now.

"That's enough! Stop it all." Mistress Ardus waved her hand. "Nim, so Solaufin encouraged the Geralt family to defect collectively?"

Henry shook his head lightly: "I'm not quite sure about the specific reasons. But the attack and riot last night just explained all of this. Otherwise, with Liroya's character, how could she give up the rights she is about to acquire."

He deliberately answered vaguely, perfectly avoiding the effect of detecting lies, and at the same time giving everyone room to imagine. According to the sinister and cunning character of the dark elves, it will naturally complicate simple problems, and it is not surprising what kind of conclusions can be drawn at that time.

After lowering her head and thinking for a few minutes, the mistress still felt that this matter was a bit strange, because she knew very well that although the Geralt family was ambitious, their devotion to the goddess was unquestionable, whether it was Xingdra or Liroya. How could a high-ranking female priest fall into the arms of other gods because of the bewitching of a mere man.

But now is obviously not the time to get to the bottom of it, she must hurry up and complete the summoning ceremony in order to convince other noble families. At this moment, the city of Ust-Nassar is already weak to the extreme, and can no longer withstand any toss, otherwise, even if it obtains the rule of law, it will be meaningless.

Thinking of this, Mistress Ardus turned her head and said to the female priest standing beside her, "Let's start, Imri, it's time for Despana to become the supreme first family among the dark elves."

"As you wish, everything is ready, it's in the room inside." As she said this, the woman named Imri pushed open a stone door, revealing the secret room hidden inside.

This is not a very large circular room, the floor is covered with coagulated blood clots and a large number of Mithril carved patterns. The walls are densely lined with runes full of magic power, and a brazier with a diameter of more than two meters is placed in the center, and the orange flame is burning blazingly.

With just one glance, Henry was able to confirm that this was a standard demon summoning ceremony, but he doubted whether it would be possible to restrain a demon comparable to a god just by relying on the insignificant mithril on the ground and the magic runes on the wall lord. You must know that it takes one to two days just to set up a ceremony like this. Many prudent mages are willing to spend another week or even a month to check repeatedly, and will not start calling until they confirm that there is no problem.

Of course, this may have something to do with the current tense situation. The First Family simply didn't have that much time to double-check, so they could only rush the ducks to the shelves. As for the final result, only God knows.

"Remember! Everyone shut up and watch obediently. If anyone dares to make a sound to interfere with the ceremony, I will immediately strangle his neck. After the demon appears, no one is allowed to intervene, otherwise I will Give his soul directly to the devil as a snack!" Madam Ardus sternly warned everyone.

Her eyes were like a blizzard in December in the north, instantly causing everyone present to shiver involuntarily. No one dared to ignore such a threat, they all knew that the mistress was absolutely capable of doing what she said.

Soon, everyone followed into the secret room, and just as the door was closed, there was a loud noise outside.

"Boom!"

"Awww!!!!"

Immediately afterwards, there was another ear-piercing roar, as if some terrible monster had invaded the city.

Mistress Adusi hurriedly asked loudly: "What's going on? Where did this sound come from?"

"Mistress, I think something happened on the slave platform. Since the second half of the night, there have been frequent crashing sounds, and there seems to be a terrifying monster on the other side." Imri replied cautiously.

"Forget it, the ceremony is important, you should quickly bring some people to delay it, and I will handle it myself after the summoning is completed."

After giving the order, the mistress ignored anyone and stood directly in the magic circle. Her eyes were fixed on the flames on the copper basin, and she regarded it as the gate leading to the bottomless abyss. She began to call out in a low voice. A name, An Lise.

Generally speaking, if you want to summon a demon, you first need to know the name of the other party. Of course, this is unlikely to be the real name, but a pseudonym formed after many disguises and deletions. Once the summoner reads this name in the ceremony, the demon in the bottomless abyss will feel it, and when the coordinates of the main plane are confirmed, it can appear in front of the summoner through interplanetary teleportation.

As dark elves who have close contacts with demons, they know the names of many powerful demons, and many of them are powerful level lords. However, Mistress Ardus is obviously not arrogant enough to think that she has such ability, so she chose a relatively weak secondary lord.

After only a few minutes, the flame suddenly became more intense, the flame became higher and higher, and the flickering speed was also accelerating, and the color gradually changed from orange to hot white. As the flame swayed more and more, a shadow gradually formed in the center, as if something inside was waiting for the flame to be strong enough to let itself pass.

Matron Arduth is sweating profusely by now. She is very clear that this is the most critical moment. If there is a slight mistake, the strong repulsion from the main plane will immediately close the portal.

After a while, the high-temperature flame grew stronger, and the shadow in the center gradually became clear. A head like a lion, a mouth like a crocodile, protruding fangs, hands like hooks, dark black eyes, and finally a split tail.

In the bottomless abyss, a unique appearance usually means great power. Judging from the appearance of this demon, there is no doubt that he is a secondary abyss lord. It is trying to squeeze through the cracks, and can't wait to descend to the main plane.

"An Lise!" The mistress called out the name again. As the last step of the whole ceremony, she must make the final call as the magic requires.
