Leo Banry opened his eyes and stared at the darkness in front of him. ※ ※The rich dark color that was so dark that it was invisible looked like day in the eyes of the Dark Elf. She lowered her eyes and felt only hunger and cold, because she had not eaten for several days. However, this feeling was not unfamiliar to Leo. As the second daughter of the third family of Carles Sodal, Leo was not unfamiliar with this feeling at all. The Dark Elf is a race full of betrayal and conspiracy. Everyone, every family, longed to be able to step on the shoulders and corpses of others to ascend to the Supreme Throne. The titles of the first family and the position of the mistress are the goals of the Dark Elf's lifelong struggle.

But Leo is not among them. She is a "Brighton", which is the dark elf language, and it is translated as "refractory".

In history, dark elves traveled to the dark underground world to escape the cruel war of creation, where they cut off their ties with nature, but their arrogant self-esteem did not allow dark elves to play with soil and rocks like dwarves. They still inherited the keen magical sensibility of their relatives on the surface, and they were still using this power. However, this should also bring an unimaginable opposite.

The magic of darkness surges deep underground, and the long-term use of this magic power makes the dark elves themselves merge with the magic of darkness. Their skin loses the whiteness that originally belonged to the elves and is dyed with dark colors. However, for them, all this is no longer important, because it is not only their skin that is dyed black, but also their hearts and souls.

With the help of the magic of darkness, the dark elves developed their own unique magic civilization under the surface, which is evil, cruel, and dark. But powerful and terrifying. They are the closest users of the magic of darkness and the humblest slaves. Almost every family will have a powerful mage as a backing. Only women with the most powerful mana and keen darkness power have the opportunity to become the family's mistress and lead the entire dark elves family to the peak of glory. It is also because of this that almost every woman of the dark elves is a natural caster, they are spell masters, they control the magic of darkness and death, and they have extremely powerful power.

almost.

Because not every Dark Elf woman has such a talent.

Leo is an exception, a cruel exception. Because she was determined to have no magical talent from birth. She could not even sense the ubiquitous darkness. Even her skin was not as dark as other dark elves, but appeared pure white. This color brought Lio endless pain since childhood. Almost all dark elves would look at her with a sarcastic smile and mock her. If it weren't for her mother, the mistress curiously treated her as a plaything, and Leo even suspected that she would die in the sacrifice on the day she was born.

But since she is alive, she must continue to live.

For this reason, Lio practiced like crazy. She had no magic power, but she still had her own body and her own hands. Soon, she stood out and became the most outstanding warrior in the family. If it weren't for the lack of precedent in the history of the Dark Elf, Lio had no doubt that she would replace that stupid man and become the first female martial arts leader in the Dark Elf family.

But Leo also knew very well. That was completely impossible.

In the society of dark elves, only magic is everything. Warriors who dance swords and swords will never be respected. Only male dark elves with lower status will hold this position. They are just their sisters, mother's shields and swords. They help them eliminate threats and resist threats. This is what the dark elves think is something that only low-level slaves will do. As a female dark elves with noble blood, Leo cannot be so willing to fall into the depravity of those low-level slaves.

She gradually became stronger, but Leo found that the society of the dark elves was incompatible with her. She did not gain respect for her power. She was still ridiculed, insulted and despised by other dark elves like she was when she was a child. Leo was full of anger. She had dreamed of using the short knife in her hand to easily tear the throats of the guys who laughed at her. Before listening to their wailing before death, the death of hatred and anger.

However, in the end, she was unable to make her revenge come true, perhaps because she noticed the disharmonious flame burning deep in her daughter's heart, or perhaps for other reasons, Leo was regarded by her mother as a part of the deal with the undead creatures. She led several elite male dark elves to the surface on behalf of her family and became the humble subordinate of the "soul chaser" Baronde. This was almost the first opportunity for many dark elves to go to the surface. The nobles of the Night Kingdom did not think much of the losers hiding deep underground. They just treated the dark elves as allies that could be used.

The dark elves also knew very well that if they disappointed the undead, then everything they built underground with great effort would be completely destroyed. Therefore, in the dark underground world, almost every family of the dark elves would seek support and assistance from the surface immortal forces to consolidate their status. Their family was also able to gain the dominance of the city of Caressord because of their humble loyalty to one of the four demon generals. However, the experience of living in the Night Country made Leo know that this was not important. If someone could bring greater benefits and help to the four demon generals, they would never mind changing their seats.

For Leo, life in the Kingdom of Night is no better than in the dark. If the dark elves are still intimidated by her identity as the second daughter of the first family and a woman and only talk about mockery and threats, then in the Kingdom of Eternal Dark Night, Lio will learn to understand what action is better than words. Those undead will not waste time and entangle with you. The sweet words between the dark elves are a waste for them. They do not have everything that creatures should have. All the thoughts are incomprehensible to Leo even. She used to be incomprehensible to them.

I have seen several women who are favored in underground families easily killed by lichs, blood-sucking species, or even death knights, and then become corpse slaves. This is just because they have developed arrogance in the family that they did not do what the undead ordered them to do at the first time, and when they find that the big mistake has been made, it is too late. For the undead, any sweet words are meaningless. So when they try to use their language to save their failure, they are only cold death and punishment.

At this time, Leo would choose to watch from the side. Because every year there are so many "little princesses" who have been spoiled underground, they are punished for this. They think they are important allies and ambassadors of peace. But in fact, they are just slaves and humble servants of undead creatures. They die because they do not understand this, but Leo will never be in it. From the underground, she learned how to live and act humbly under the eyes of others. This also made her quickly adapt to the life of the Night Kingdom and gradually gain the trust of Baronde - although it was as trusted as the hunting dog she loved when she was hunting.

That's why Leo came here, just to perform a mission - the lord of this territory angered Baronde and killed his subordinates. This was not a big deal, but such news would always make the undead look less beautiful when it spreads in the dark country. So in order to save face, or just to express a gesture, Leo was sent here to kill the young lord. And once again, with blood and death spread, he unquestionedly swore the authority of the four demon generals.

But she failed.

The other party was obviously prepared. When Leo led his subordinates to the fortress secretly, she was stunned by the overwhelming magic bombardment before she could even think about how to sneak in. The four elite warriors under her had no time to resist and returned to the sky. The two mages were so powerful. Although they looked just ordinary, fragile and lowly human women, Leo was sure that even the first mistress in her family would definitely not have such powerful spell casting ability.

Even Lio herself almost died under the other party's magic, but in the end her skin saved her life. After seeing Lio's skin hidden under the cloak, the two girls obviously showed an irresistible expression of surprise. Then they grabbed themselves and held them in the dungeon. Lio didn't know what kind of treatment she would be treated. She had heard a lot about the people of the Light Continent in the Kingdom of Night. They were kind (this word absolutely does not have any praise in the Kingdom of Night). Stupid, cowardly. Life is short, but at the same time, sinister, cunning and shameless. Lio still remembers herself.

In the course of studying history in the Dark Elf Academy, those despicable and shameless elves forced them to go to the battlefield when they tried to save the last ray of fire for the elves, deprived them of their lives for the survival of purebred elves, and forced them to face the enemy's army one after another like slaves. In the end, they broke free from the slavery of their own tribes, came to the ground, and lived the free life they had dreamed of. But Leo never forgot that it was the cruel, bloody and evil behavior of the surface elves that forced their race to leave the ugly cage covered by burning fireballs.

They have to pay for it.

So what about these humans?

Leo had heard rumors about mankind. She had also seen many human slaves in the Kingdom of Night. They were indeed fragile, ignorant, full of silly and stupid. Now, she was in the hands of these humble slave races, which made Leo feel a little anxious. She frowned and waited for her judgment. Although Leo had no idea about the customs and behaviors of the Continent of Light, the meaning of prisons, cages and shackles must be the same in every place.

At this moment, the young dark elf keenly heard the footsteps coming from outside the door, and it seemed that several people were walking in their direction. The footsteps became louder and louder, and then stopped in front of her door. Then, the door of the cage opened and a dazzling fire shone in from outside.

This light made her involuntarily close her eyes and turn her head...

ps: Because of the setting, I have made some changes to the origin and customs of the Dark Elves to a certain extent.
