Duke of Grief

"Ashley..."

Hearing a familiar voice, Ashley looked back, his eyes covered with a black cloth martial arts master sitting on the roof of the only carriage in the team, and called out to her.

"Martial arts master!" Ashley bowed slightly, paying tribute to her teacher, which is hard to see in the traditional drow society.

Especially in the drow society of the Assatom world, because the influence of the queen of spiders is difficult to reach here, the priests have to intensify the oppression of men, otherwise once the men react, their dominance will always be there. May be overthrown.

In this environment, it is unimaginable that a man can become a martial arts chief.

Ashley didn't know what happened to the martial arts chief. Anyway, when she first contacted him when she was a child, his eyes were already blind. Rao was like that. He was still the martial arts chief of their family.

Their family consists of drow elves who were left in this world after the failure of the last aggression. Maybe they used to be not the same family or even the same city-state, but they had no choice but to survive.

Ashley was born in this world. She heard that the underground world here is far less chaotic than the one that their original husband saved. There are only big bugs and mind-slayers. The dark area is even more chaotic than the surface. The forces are tumbling against each other, and the bone blood of the weak can only become the lunch of the strong.

Although there is a lot of peace here, the resources of the underground world are not enough, so that they are difficult to develop.

Now Ashley and they are just a group of fugitives. Whether the underground world has sufficient resources has nothing to do with them. It has become a part of the ocean, and several city-states have been devastated. At least as far as Ashley knows, Only two city-states can survive.

In the vast underground world, there are only seven city-states of drow elves, and these city-states are not the traditional city-states. At most, they can only be regarded as a family settlement, but only a little more.

After the two city-states embarked on the road to escape from the underground world, they began to figure out how to lay a site on the surface. After all, they had such a large population, and if they wanted to grow stronger, those wild country ridges could not meet their needs.

At that time, the martial arts chief of their family took away more than one hundred people, including Ashley, which was an unforgivable betrayal for the family.

But Ashley herself knew that if her cousins ​​could develop patiently, they might still be able to get a site on the surface, but they thought of'getting nothing for nothing'-they lay down a site and then enslave all the sites. Humans, let humans work for them.

To be honest, for people of the "warrior" class like Ashley, the priests' thoughts are delusions, but those lustful guys will not heed persuasion. Anyway, if they fight, they will not die.

Ashley's parents died in the battle with the Demon Devil when she was a child, so she was raised by the martial arts chief. This time, many of the people who defected with the martial arts master have similar experiences to her.

That's why she looks a little'different'.

"Is it far from the border of the Principality of Sorrowful Winds?"

Wu Jichang's eyes can't see anything. Even if he is very powerful, his strength is only reflected in combat. As a blind man, he is not suitable for leaving his familiar environment.

The sun in the late spring and early summer falls on the ground through the gaps between the leaves. The mottled sunlight and high temperature continuously stimulate the drow's skin.

They have adapted to the coldness and darkness of the underground world, and have no expectation of life on the surface. They will not come here unless they have to.

"It's... not far away." Ashley answered hesitantly.

They have been walking for almost a month, boring and abnormal along the way, but this is not very difficult for them who are used to survival in the wild, even the children sitting in the carriage behave quietly and well.

The biodiversity on the ground makes them unimaginable, but the martial arts master can point out what can be eaten or not.

Ashley did not know how long this thin and handsome male drow had lived, but before he had lost his light, he should have lived on the surface for a short period of time.

"When I went there, it was just a duke..."

The team was still moving forward, and Ashley did not stop her footsteps. At this time, she heard the familiar voice in her ear again.

The martial arts chief mentioned his past infrequently. His tone was melancholy, and his voice was as long as the wind blowing through the empty valley: "At that time, I had not lost the light, and at that time, the duke leader was still affiliated with the country of the mages. Even the duke in charge of the scepter has not yet become the most powerful mortal in the world."

The carriage, which was still a little tumultuous, soon quieted down, and Ashley, who had been paying attention to the carriage, was relieved.

Sitting in the carriage are her'brothers and sisters'. They are all poor people who have been orphaned because they have lost their parents. They were adopted by the martial arts chief. Of course, the martial arts chief became their'father'.

"You must have heard the story of the most holy man in the world. I had contact with the legend. He recognized my identity at first glance, but he did not discriminate against me nor did he appear in public. Pointing out my identity is like facing other people asking him for advice. He is willing to teach his martial arts to anyone-even me like a drow elf."

"He asked us to make an oath that he would not use his teaching of martial arts to do evil. This is his only request to us..."

From the words of the martial arts chief, she heard the vicissitudes of time, and originally continued to listen to the story, but the scout in front of the pathfinder returned at this time.

"Sister Ashley, there is a kind of "grey road" you said in front of it, and there are still a lot of teams there!" The scout couldn't help but excitement and yelled.

Ashley's body is shocked, is it finally here?

Can I finally escape that nightmare?

Martial arts long index finger gently brushed the handle of the scimitar, "Go ahead, the children also need a good rest..."

Ashley nodded excitedly, and then the team walked out of the mountain trail and walked in the middle of the avenue.

They found the car marks on the road and also saw the'grey bricks' at the end of this muddy road.

At this moment, Ashley held her breath and glanced back nervously, but did not find any signs of chasing soldiers behind her.

Although her facial muscles are now stiff, she might as well cry as she smiles, but the joy in her heart is indeed pouring out.

The adult drow elves walking on the side of the carriage can’t help but look back like her. Most of them are men. There are very few women who choose to flee with them, except for the sister who was raised by the martial arts master. 'Besides, not many women choose to escape with them.

Compared with ordinary drow elves, these people are a group of aliens, raised by martial arts leaders, so they are somewhat out of tune with the whole society.

But they still can't get rid of the shadow on their turn~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Even today, they are still in fear.

The eyes gradually became brighter, and the sunlight was finally able to fall on their hoods. A slight burning sensation came from the skin exposed to the sun, which scared them to hurry up and tighten their hoods.

Their appearance attracted the attention of many people, and many people in the scattered team cast their eyes on curiosity and doubt.

Ashley stopped her brothers and sisters and told them not to be impulsive.

She was clutching an envelope tightly in her hand, and her hand wet the corner of the envelope, but she didn't notice it.

"I'm going to negotiate with them, you are here to wait for a while!" After the command, Ashley strode the envelope and strode toward the city gate. She didn't want to wait for a moment!

Listening to the sound coming from not far away, the martial arts chief's ears covered under the hood shuddered slightly, frowning slightly.

Then he gave a sigh of ignorance or pity...
