Chapter 1302: Chapter 1302: Tricks Chapter 1302: Chapter 1302: Tricks Fallen elf females are revered, a tradition that slowly developed.

In fact, this is due to the influence of a matrilineal society combined with that of the divine. In Ancient Times, elves seemed equal, but whether it was the female priests of the temple or the highest leaders, they were all female elves.

Now that the elves are divided, the highest leader of the Ancient Elves is the female priest of the Temple of the Moon God, even though her husband is also a leader of the Ancient Elves. However, he spends most of his time asleep, dealing with matters in dreams, hardly concerning himself with specific issues.

Moreover, the most elite legion of sentinel troops among the Ancient Elves is entirely composed of female elves.

Although the previous Sun King of the High Elves was male, historically, most Sun Kings have been female. In various legions, female elves are not fewer than males; they are mixed units.

Interestingly enough, although the Ancient Elves are a kingdom, the King is only the nominal supreme leader. In reality, the real leadership of the High Elves is in the hands of the Silvermoon Council, and the true power of the King is actually not that great.

Moreover, the Windrunner Family has always held the position of Ranger General, the highest military commander of the High Elves. Although nominally inferior to the Sun King, the actual power they wield is the greatest, and the Windrunner Family has been passed down through females from generation to generation.

The Fallen Elves are even more extreme. Although they came to the underground world to escape, they had nothing and their bodies were not well-adapted to the underground world.

They could only rely on the deity they had newly worshipped, the Spider Queen Lolth, during the time when the gods had not yet fallen into slumber.

Female elves became priests and truly adapted to the underground world under the guidance of the Spider Queen Lolth. Over time, as they proliferated, they became one of the dominant forces in the underground world. Even in The Abyss of Hell, where the Spider Queen Lolth resides, there are Fallen Elf tribes, and if they gather together, they are genuinely more prosperous than the two elven branches on the surface.

Of course, with the Spider Queen Lolth’s cruel and suspicious nature, she would not allow such a situation to occur. Whenever an elf tribe became too powerful, Lolth would intervene, causing the tribe to split, and there were constant wars between Fallen Elf tribes.

Of course, waging wars and annexing each other is a matter for the female Elf Priests; the lower-class elves or male elves are merely warriors. They are treated like chattel, often surrendering without hesitation upon the victory of one side, and to them, betrayal is nothing out of the ordinary.

Life in the underground world is harsh, filled with lies, deceit, betrayal, and other decadent atmospheres and thoughts. This is the influence of the Evil God, gradually undermining the status of male elves who could not wield divine magic and slowly becoming vassals.

Even the strongest male Fallen Elves could not become high-ranking generals; they were low-class warriors or even male concubines, especially given that female priests devoted to the Spider Queen Lolth tended to be wanton in behavior, typically having countless male favorites. What’s more terrifying is that among the Fallen Elves, people only knew who their mother was, not their father, and the concept of a “father” was nonexistent.

Li Yao’s mind churned with information about the Fallen Elves, but he had to pretend to be a Witherbark whose consciousness was in chaos, to avoid giving himself away. This time, Li Yao’s goal was not only to find out the specific location of this group of Fallen Elves but more importantly, to understand their true purpose.

Although everyone in the ancient times belonged to the same race, there were no small number of fallen elves, who could easily expand their power by conquering other tribes.

In the eyes of the Earl, this business of purchasing Witherbarks was hardly worth it. Take this time for instance, at best they managed to get a few hundred Witherbarks, which were hardly of any use. Their strength at best was comparable to that of Li Yao, nothing more than a Racial Chief’s level, not even a King, simply too weak.

No one would believe that fallen elves lacked such a small number of troops; it was laughable.

The female elf, draped in a priest robe that was revealing to the extreme, was completely unconcerned about her body being exposed, her enchanting figure emitting an astonishing charm. Despite the distance, Li Yao could still clearly feel the burning desire in the eyes of her few followers, wishing they could pin the Elf Priest to the ground.

But the Elf Priest seemed completely oblivious, or perhaps she just didn’t care, as she charmingly scanned the Witherbarks tied to the stakes, as if to devour her, even the frenzied Witherbarks gazed fixedly at her.

The Elf Priest giggled, a voice as soothing as could be reached Li Yao’s ears. Just hearing her voice made Li Yao feel his body stiffen, a sensation he found indescribable.

“I know that some of you here are high elves who remain unturned. Don’t you want to know what we are doing? Now, I am giving you a chance. Step forward, come to my side. Tonight, I will give you the opportunity to serve me. The blood of our ancient kin is too fine, and I am so fond of it; I hate to see you broken…”

The Elf Priest waited for a moment, but no one spoke up. She laughed again, “Remove your hoods, let them see.”

Following the Elf Priest’s command, a few of her followers who wore black robes revealed their true faces. Li Yao’s expression changed, for these were all high elves; however, they bore a spider mark on their foreheads. They were indifferent to what the Elf Priest said, their gazes toward her still filled with fervor and obsession.

Just then, several shadowy figures appeared in the dark, sprinting straight towards the staked Witherbarks. Spraying some unknown powder, the Witherbarks instantly took on the appearance of high elves, no longer the mad Witherbarks.

Li Yao was startled; this fairy was really cunning, just like that exposing several other spies.

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Elf Priest: “The Reality Revealing Powder is quite rare; it’s a shame I had to waste several doses. Take them to the Chamber of a Thousand Spiders and Poison, and treat them well, but be careful not to let them die just yet. They are valuable. Choose the strongest amongst them for I still have a use for them tonight. I know there are other spies among you; it’s better to confess now. We will treat you generously, but I must remind you, should your sanctification be wasted in a while, it won’t be as simple as just now to get off easily. You, who live in luxury on the surface, I believe you would never want to experience the cruel methods of the underground world.”

Nevertheless, the Witherbarks remained frenzied, and no one admitted anything. The Elf Priest revealed a hint of cruelty: “Very well, I enjoy torturing you surface dwellers of my same bloodline most of all.”

With solemn devotion, the Elf Priest turned and knelt to the ground: “Great Goddess Ros, the sacred offering has been laid in your temple. Your most humble servant requests you to bestow your radiance, granting these frenzied with power.”

What followed was an obscure incantation mixed with the languages of The Abyss of Hell and the Abyss. As the spells were chanted, Li Yao saw a spider shadow, colossal to the extreme, slowly emerge. The gaze of the indifferent spider, suspended mid-air, swept across below, sending shivers down Li Yao’s spine…
