Chapter 254: Rose Spider Queen's Artifact
Amberxiu never worried about not being able to find the rebellious drow.
Since this group of underground elves are planning to rebel, they will naturally keep an eye on the movements of the Withering Rose.
Such a huge explosion before was probably enough to blow up this dark area.
At least it would be a little more normal. They would definitely send someone out to investigate what happened.
Such a large group of escaped slaves like Amberxiu and Melina must be their top priority, because if they want to obtain intelligence, they have to look for it from these slaves.
So passive waiting is the best way.
When Melina discovered the spider-like drow hiding in the shadows, Amber also sensed that someone was watching him.
"Father, they are coming. Should we beat them out of the shadows?" Melina asked.
Amber Xiu did not answer, but asked: "What do you think?"
Melina fell silent immediately. She knew that this was a test given to her by Amberxiu, to let her think about the problem on her own.
If she didn't catch these spider drow, wouldn't she have to continue to act under the other party's surveillance? And she didn't know how long it would take. If she caught this spider drow, would it alert the mastermind behind the scenes and make the other party afraid to contact her again? These two choices were torn between each other in Melina's mind, and she couldn't tell which one was better.
Amber Xiu did not prompt her. After she thought for several minutes, Amber Xiu said, "Do you see that spider drow is still there?"
Melina glanced casually into the darkness in the distance and replied, "Still."
"So, you've been thinking about it for so long, have things gotten worse?"
Melina immediately reacted and asked, "Father, do you mean that as long as things don't get worse, we should continue?"
Amber Xiu then reminded, "When you are faced with a dilemma, choose the option that will definitely not turn out badly. Because if you hesitate, it means you are not determined enough to take the risk, so don't take the risk."
This was also the lesson that Amberxiu learned when he was an adventurer.
Young people are always hesitant when faced with opportunities. They want to get better results, but are afraid of counterproductive effects.
Amber Xiu didn't know how many times he suffered losses before he figured out this problem. If he couldn't take risks without hesitation, he would definitely complain after failing, and the result would be a vicious cycle.
Then just don't take any risks, make better preparations until the next opportunity comes, and then take a gamble without hesitation.
Melina understood what Amberxiu meant and decisively chose to pretend not to see it.
After a while, the spider-like drow disappeared. Melina was a little anxious, thinking that she had exposed a flaw somewhere because of her poor acting, but Amber continued to comfort her and told her to do what she should do.
Melina is now the leader of the tribe, and her subordinates are now a mixture of several races. It was fine when they were fleeing, but now that they have settled down, many problems have been exposed.
The drow wanted to completely take over the tribe, the myconids didn't want to lose their homes, and a few deep gnomes and dwarves wanted to run away. They knew very well that living under the drow was no different from living under the undead, and even the undead were better because the undead would not kill a slave for fun, but the drow would.
It's rare that I'm free now, if not take the opportunity to escape, when will I do so?
Now is the time to test Melina's leadership.
But Melina didn't do a very good job. She had no way to balance the conflicts between the various races and could only rely on her fists to suppress all the voices of dissatisfaction. If this continued, problems would arise sooner or later.
But it doesn't matter much, because they are not here to farm. They just need to maintain the tribe for a short period of time. I believe that in a few days, those rebellious elves will come to Melina to discuss cooperation.
However, the opponent's patience was even less than Amberxiu had expected. There was no need to wait for a few days. Before half a day had passed, a spider-like drow appeared outside the mushroom tribe.
The huge spider body of the spider-like drow made everyone tremble with fear. It was ugly, huge, and full of danger. These things were too oppressive for the escaped slaves.
This time, Melina didn't need Amber's reminder and walked straight over to face the spider-like drow.
The spider-like drow stared at Melina with the eyes on his forehead and said, "Haha, you are more courageous than I thought. It is rare for a drow who has been enslaved by the undead for so long to still maintain such pride."
Melina crossed her arms and said disdainfully, "A useless person who was sacrificed, speaking to me in this tone, have you forgotten the teachings of the Spider Queen?"
All spider drow are male, because the transformation ritual is very cruel and risky, and female drow will never take the risk alone.
The order of the Rose Spider Queen does not matter what faction the drow belong to. As long as they are of this race, they must abide by this rule. Therefore, after Melina expressed her dissatisfaction so strongly, the expression of this spider drow also became a little ugly.
However, the spider-like drow did not kneel down and kowtow immediately. Instead, he retorted, "I am here to talk to you on behalf of our mistress. I represent the dignity of my master. Don't try to use the rules to pressure me. Besides, can you drow who are kept in captivity by the undead still hear the voice of the spider queen?"
Although he said this, his tone was not as arrogant as before.
Melina also heard the change in tone. She remained serious and arrogant on the surface, but in her heart she couldn't wait to find the mastermind through this spider-like drow.
"For the sake of that unknown fellow tribesman, I won't argue with you about etiquette. Why did you come to see me?"
The spider drow didn't dare to waste any more time and said directly: "My master is launching a counterattack against the undead and needs to gather all the forces. You are a slave who escaped from the undead's capital. Join us and take back the dark region that belongs to us drow!"
Melina wanted to agree immediately, but Amber reminded her, "You are a slave who just escaped. Even if you are from the same race, don't you know what kind of people the drow are? Conspiracy and frame-up are the drow's favorite methods. Every drow is a conspiracy theorist and will not agree so easily."
Melina didn't expect that she was wrong again, fortunately her father was there to give her some advice.
Melina thought hard for a moment, then said, "Counterattack? I see. You have been attacking the convoys transporting minerals, right? But I heard that you have suffered heavy losses recently. How can you fight the Rose Queen with such little strength?"
Amber's fingers were shaking. This kid still didn't pay enough attention to details. How could the escaped drow continue to call the Withered Rose "Queen"?
However, the spider-like drow didn't seem to have a very high IQ, and didn't notice the problem with this detail. He explained directly, "That's just part of the plan. That death knight who is as stupid as a goblin thinks she has been winning, but in fact she has already lost. As long as our plan is launched, she will fall into our trap like an idiot.
"Haha, I've seen a lot of undead, but I'm not that easily fooled by those stupid skeletons. Killing this death knight will be the clarion call for our final counterattack. The flesh and blood of that idiot will become our sacrifice... Hmm? What's that sound?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
That's the sound of joints cracking from clenching your fist too hard.
Melina clenched her fists and almost couldn't help but punch the spider-like drow to death.
Amber Xiu finally understood why the child was depressed. If people said this to him every day, it would be quite stressful.
But now it all depends on Melina's performance.
Could a child who was only a few days old endure such an insult in front of him? Melina angrily punched the stalactite column beside her, smashing the stone column, which was thicker than her waist, into pieces, scaring the spider-like drow.
Just when Amber thought Melina was about to take action, Melina gritted her teeth and said, "The Death Knight you mentioned is the daughter of the Rose Queen. She is indeed an idiot. It is because of her stupidity that I have ended up like this!"
Amber Xiu suddenly felt comforted. This child has grown up. He can cover up lies very naturally. If he can change the wording and details a little bit, it will be perfect.
The spider-like drow looked at the broken stone pillar, and his originally dark face instantly turned pale. Fortunately, he did not continue to offend this fellow tribesman, otherwise he would have been blown up by this punch.
The spider-like drow said quickly, "So you also have a grudge against that idiot. That's great. Join us. With your abilities, you will definitely be appreciated by the master. She will definitely support you in forming your own tribe!"
Melina sneered and said, "You've been talking for a long time but actually said nothing. I still don't know what your so-called plan is. Who knows if you are trying to trick us into being cannon fodder?"
The spider-like drow shook his head and said, "How is this possible? In this battle, every companion is precious. We are not undead. We don't have the ability to gain more the more we fight."
Melina shouted, "Stop talking nonsense! Tell me what your plan is!"
The spider-like drow hesitated for a moment, then said, "I can't tell you the whole truth, but I can reveal one thing. This is the oracle of the Spider Queen. She has given the master a divine weapon that is powerful enough to destroy all the undead!"
"A divine weapon?"
Melina was shocked and asked Amber immediately, "Father, they have a divine weapon! What should we do?!"
Although Melina was only a few days old, Amber had already added a lot of common sense when weaving her soul, such as language, writing, some basic history, etc. Melina didn't know much about Rose Spider Queen, but she knew that the artifact was a very powerful thing.
Amber was also shocked. The divine weapon bestowed by the gods is not so easy to deal with.
But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that it is unlikely. A divine weapon that can destroy an entire country will not be given, unless the spider queen Rose is tired of living and wants to be slapped by Io. Although the elves and gods are from outside, they will be controlled by Io when they come to this place.
If it were really that convenient, the Lord of Dawn would just throw down a hammer and Ryan would unify the continent, and the other kingdoms would have no chance of fighting.
The artifact might be real, but its power certainly wouldn’t be that outrageous.
However, a divine weapon is always a divine weapon. This thing is very valuable! Amber said directly to Melina: "My daughter, the plan has changed. The mastermind behind the scenes needs to be caught. We want the divine weapon too!"
