Chapter 1565: The Lord's Plans and Arrangements
"Oh? How do you say this?"
In the huge and ancient corridor with flames rising, Lei Xiao looked at Lila who was accompanying him with curiosity.
"To be honest, Your Majesty, the dark half-elves are the only second-rate force among us that is not suppressed by the Throne Corridor, nor are they in collusion with the Throne Corridor. Although they are also considered a member of the Throne Corridor, their situation is completely different from ours."
Lila nodded to Lei Xiao and explained, "Therefore, they probably won't get involved in this mess. At most, they will just not help either side."
"You're saying that the dark half-elves are neither minions of the Throne Corridor nor have they been seized by the Throne Corridor?"
Lei Xiao's face showed even more curiosity, and he asked, "What's the reason?"
"Your Majesty, as the name suggests, dark half-elves are human hybrids with dark elf blood, just like light half-elves and forest half-elves."
Lila obviously knew this neighbor quite well. She introduced, "But unlike the light half-elves who have always been attached to the light elves, the dark half-elves are just an ordinary second-rate force on the surface, but in fact they have always had a close relationship with the dark elves. With such a powerful backer, this is why the Throne Corridor does not dare to take action against them easily."
"After all, although the Dark Elf Kingdom has declined in strength over the past thousand years and is often scorned as a second-rate force by other established first-rate forces, it is still a lean camel that is bigger than a horse, and its strength is still far superior to that of the Throne Corridor."
Hearing Lila say this, Lei Xiao stroked his chin gently and nodded thoughtfully.
Although I had heard of the Dark Half-Elf Kingdom before, I knew very little about it.
It seems that the dark half-elves are indeed a special existence among the second-rate forces.
As for the light half-elves with whom he had dealt before, although they were also a second-rate force, their territory was next to the light elves and not within the sphere of influence of the Throne Corridor. Naturally, the other party would not dare to extend their tentacles there.
"Having said that, it is true that the dark half-elves have a somewhat detached position among the second-rate forces, but that does not mean they do not hate the Throne Corridor. We should at least test the waters first. If we can win their support, it will be much more useful than ordinary second-rate forces."
With this in mind, Lei Xiao immediately asked, "Did the Throne Corridor invite dark half-elves to attend the usual meetings?"
"Your Majesty, in my impression, the dark half-elves seem to attend every meeting, but the one who attends is not their queen, but the dark half-elf prince. Obviously, it does not meet the standards required by the Broken Wing King for the head of the clan to attend."
Lila pondered for a moment and responded, "And the Broken Winged King did not make any trouble either. It is not difficult to see that he is indeed quite afraid of the dark half-elves."
"Come to think of it, we have never seen the face of the dark half-elf queen, even though their territory is right next to us."
Hollis frowned and sighed, "It must be said that just like their backers, the dark elves, the dark half-elves are also a rather mysterious force."
After Hollis finished speaking, Bruce and Lux also nodded.
You know, the strong dark elves are famous for being elusive and difficult to deal with among all races. They are famous as assassins and shadows, and the same is true for dark half-elves. Their cities are all built in underground tunnels.
The only difference between them and the dwarves who also like to live underground but also enjoy lively places is that both the dark elves and the half-elves are the type who live in seclusion and rarely communicate with the outside world.
"A rather mysterious force? Then we should contact it first."
Lei Xiao snapped his fingers lightly, obviously having made a decision.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"
A hint of doubt immediately emerged on Lila's fair face, and Hollis also cast a puzzled look at her.
"It's very simple. Although the Dark Half-Elves have a superior status, they are probably disgusted with the Broken Winged Clan who claim to be the overlord of a second-rate force. After all, if they allow their power to grow, they will definitely step on their heads one day. The Broken Winged King is obviously a tyrant who cannot tolerate any sand in his eyes. The Dark Half-Elves cannot be unaware of this."
Lei Xiao nodded to Lila and Hollis and expressed his thoughts: "Especially at the moment when the dark elves and light elves are on the verge of a fierce battle and may break out at any time, it is impossible for the dark half-elves not to leave a way out for themselves."
"If the Dark Elves really start a war with the Light Elves, it is still unclear whether they can protect themselves with their current strength, and they will definitely not be able to take care of the Dark Half-Elves."
Hollis was obviously also aware of the current situation of the Ten Thousand Races. His eyes lit up and he said, "Your Majesty is right. From the perspective of the dark half-elf, if problems may arise with the backers at any time, we really need to leave a way out for ourselves!"
"And the best shortcut to that retreat is to pull the Broken Wings down from their position of dominance in the Throne Corridor!"
Lila quickly reacted and said, "This is exactly in line with our goal!"
"That's why we should contact the dark half-elves first. If we get their support, it will be much more useful than ordinary second-rate forces."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and nodded to everyone.
"As expected of your Majesty, you are indeed far-sighted!"
Lila was full of admiration, but a trace of embarrassment welled up on her fair face. "But Your Majesty, dark half-elves rarely come into contact with outsiders. Usually they only trade through the Shadow Market. If we rashly go there, I'm afraid it will cause misunderstandings on the other side, which may backfire."
"That's right. This is indeed a problem that should be paid attention to."
Lei Xiao folded his arms, half leaning against the wall of the ancient giant castle corridor, and smiled at Lila: "As for the solution to the problem, didn't you already tell me by the way?"
"Has the young lady spoken out?"
Lila was stunned at first, then her beautiful eyes lit up and she said, "Your Majesty, are you saying that we should let the Shadow Market act as the middleman?"
"Yes, don't forget that you two did the same thing not long ago."
Lei Xiao raised the corner of his mouth and nodded slightly.
"Your Majesty, please don't make fun of me and others about this matter."
Lila's fair face, which exuded a mature charm, was visibly flushed, and Keira next to her looked the same.
As for Hollis and others, a look of embarrassment appeared on their faces and they smiled awkwardly at Lei Xiao.
Both the stone giant and the half-titan understood clearly that they had never thought that they would end up like this, bowing down at the feet of Lei Xiao. But judging from the result, it was not bad, and it could even be said to be the most correct choice.
"Okay, let's get started right away."
Lei Xiao turned his palm up, and a crystal clear communication crystal emerged.
This communication crystal came from Administrator I, who was exactly what Lei Xiao insisted on giving him when he was leaving.
Lei Xiao had just activated the communication crystal when the attentive voice of Administrator I rang out: "Your Majesty, I am at your service at any time!"
"Mr. Administrator, if I remember correctly, in addition to the half-titans and stone giants, there are also dark half-elves in the area you are responsible for, right?"
Lei Xiao didn't even exchange pleasantries with the other party, but asked directly.
"Your Majesty, that's exactly what happened. However, those gloomy guys who like shadows and short blades are exactly like the dark elves. Even I find it difficult to get along with them."
Administrator I's response came soon, saying, "Your Majesty, do you want to contact the dark half-elves?"
"That's exactly what I meant. I need you to arrange it right away."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and continued to ask: "With your professional ability as the administrator, this shouldn't be difficult, right?"
"Although I usually don't take the initiative to contact the other party, but since it is your majesty's request, then there is naturally no problem!"
Manager I gave a positive answer immediately without any hesitation.
After receiving a lot of benefits from Lei Xiao, he seems to be no different from our other managers.
"waiting for your good news."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, he temporarily turned off the communication crystal.
While waiting, in order to learn more about the dark half-elves, Lei Xiao contacted another person, that is Therese, who is a dark elf and also the Holy Maiden of the Moon Palace.
Originally, Lei Xiao should have called Erza, but because the latter was advancing to the sixth level, he only contacted Theresa.
"Your Majesty, are you going to the Dark Half-Elf Kingdom at this time? You are still busy with state affairs so late at night. You are really busy."
Theresa's slightly surprised voice was soon transmitted through Kara's telepathy. Although the former had not yet been subdued by Lei Xiao, after a series of events, she was no different from a subordinate.
"You didn't rest either, did you? It's just a small matter."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and responded, "How much do you know about the dark half-elves, Saint?"
"To be honest, Your Majesty, before I became the Saint of the Moon Palace, I once stayed in the Dark Half-Elf King's Capital for a period of time."
Theresa's clear voice soon came over, responding: "So you have some understanding of dark half-elves."
"Oh?"
A hint of curiosity and surprise appeared on Lei Xiao's face, and he continued to listen to the other party's words.
"Your Majesty must have known that I come from a clan of dark elves. Although my family is very large and I am only a small member, I still participate in many celebrations and sacrificial activities, including guiding and hosting some celebrations of dark half-elves. After all, dark half-elves have close contacts with dark elves."
Theresa did not hide anything and said bluntly, "But the status of a dark half-elf is limited after all, so it is naturally impossible for them to receive too much attention. Therefore, the tribe will not send high-ranking priests to participate. Therefore, an insignificant existence like me has no choice but to participate."
“So there is such a thing.”
Lei Xiao looked quite surprised, and then said: "Then tell me as much as you can about the dark half-elves."
"Since your majesty has spoken, I have no choice but to do it."
Theresa responded without hesitation, "How about this? I have nothing to do recently, so why don't I just accompany His Majesty?"
"That's perfect."
Lei Xiao's eyes lit up and he said, "Wait for me at the Moon Palace. I'll pick you up right away."
After stopping the telepathy, Lei Xiao immediately took action.
Soon, Theresa's slender figure appeared in the command hall of Ice Stone City.
There was a hint of surprise in her starry eyes, and even her movements were cautious, for fear of damaging the exquisite magical facilities here.
Although she had come to Ice Stone City several times before as the Holy Maiden of the Moon Palace to hitchhike, she was still shocked every time she came to this huge place favored by the gods.
In shock, Theresa's starry eyes moved and fell on Lei Xiao again.
The person who made her sigh the most was naturally Lei Xiao himself.
I remember that in the beginning, this emperor who ruled over the human race was just an insignificant lord from another world.
From the initial Lord of Kongqing City, to the Holy Lion Prince of Lengyan Kingdom, and then to the Emperor who swept across the human countries and the Temple of Light, everything seemed to have happened just yesterday.
Especially Lei Xiao's amazing improvement in strength, which left her, who was only at level five and one star, far behind.
You know, at the beginning, she was still suppressing Lei Xiao, but now, the positions have completely changed.
"Your Excellency, the Saint, do not be so reserved. Just treat this place as your own palace. Don't forget that we are comrades who have fought side by side for a long time."
Lei Xiao smiled slightly and nodded at Therese.
In fact, with Lei Xiao's current foundation, he can completely promote Theresa to the peak of the fifth level, and then wait for the opportunity to advance to the sixth level.
However, even though Lei Xiao distributed a lot of magic potions that could permanently enhance the strength of the Holy Night Kingdom and the Moon Palace, the Saint of the Moon Palace did not use any of them herself, so that all the Moon Palace generals, including the Red Devil, were already at level five, and Kara, the liaison officer, had already reached the peak of level five.
As for why Theresa didn't use it herself, Lei Xiao had thought about it before.
After all, the former was assigned by the Queen of Dark Elf to come to the human territory. If he accepted too many gifts, the Queen of Dark Elf would probably become suspicious, and the situation would become more complicated, although there is no conflict of interest between humans and dark elves.
"Your Majesty is right. I am a little embarrassed."
Theresa responded with an awkward smile, then quickly adjusted her mindset and turned her attention back to Jasmine.
Since Lei Xiao has already subdued the half-titan and the stone giant, this girl simply does not wear a hood again. Her pair of white, tall, pointed ears are extremely eye-catching.
You know, Jasmine had just joined Lei Xiao not long ago, and Theresa obviously didn't know this girl from the forest elf.
"Hey, I'm not your mortal enemy, the Light Elf. There's no need to be so surprised, right?"
Jasmine put her hands on her hips, puffed out her chest and acted like a big sister.
However, Teresa's next words caught this girl off guard. (End of this chapter)
