Chapter 297: Training of the Drow

Amberxiu spent a lot of time returning to his alchemy factory from underground.

Those who have the ability to teleport don’t think there is anything wrong with long-distance travel. After losing the ability to teleport, Amber found that traveling is really a hassle.

I finally returned to my hometown, but as soon as I got back, I saw Catherine sitting at the gate of the dungeon, with her hands on her legs and her head buried in her knees.

Why does this posture look so familiar? Oh, the last time Melina was mocked as a fool, she was sitting on the bed in this posture.

Amber Xiu was surprised and said, "What happened? I just left for a short time and you became depressed?"

Catherine raised her head, her eyes were red, as if she had been crying.

"They, they all lied to me..."

Catherine cried and explained everything to Amber.

Originally, Catherine was confident that she would make the drow elves loyal to her. Her operation was simple and direct. She first let the drow elves have a good rest, eat and drink enough, and then started to talk to them one by one.

It was all good at the beginning. The drow elves went from being wary to opening their hearts and telling Catherine about their tragic experiences.

Catherine felt the same way. She had never expected that the life stories of these drow elves were so miserable. They were assigned a cute little spider from birth, and grew up with the drow elves. As soon as they learned to speak, they had to learn vicious magic spells. After they mastered the spells, the first target of the spells was the little spider they had raised.

This inhumane education is designed to make the drow elves lose their kindness and love from an early age.

After completing this ritual, the drow will begin to undergo strict training. Assassination, poisoning, lurking, torture... Each of these trainings will erode their inner humanity until they reach adulthood, when they will head to the surface, hunt down a high elf, and sacrifice him to the Lolth Spider Queen to become the true drow matron.

Of course, these captured drow elves were all minors, but after years of torture, they had already become completely inhumane and brutal monsters.

When Catherine talked to them, the drow elves were very resistant at first, until Catherine "touched" them with her sincerity, and then they opened their hearts to her, and some even cried with her.

After crying, the drow elves no longer looked defensive and vigilant, but began to smile.

Catherine also believed that she had completed her mission of persuasion, so she brought these five drow elves, who were close to her, with her and almost ate, drank and slept together.

Then, just as Catherine let her guard down, she was stabbed.

Legends, when unprepared, are only flesh and blood, and Catherine's body in pajamas could not stop the blade.

However, perhaps it was Catherine's charm that worked, the knife did not stab her vitals, but only caused her serious injuries.

Then the five drow elves whose souls were freed by Amber took Catherine as a hostage and wanted to leave the dungeon.

As a result, they succeeded.

The undead guards along the way did not stop them, allowing them to escape smoothly to the gate of the dungeon.

Then, they fell into a magic trap.

This was something Amber had prepared long ago. He knew that the drow elves would definitely cause trouble, so he casually set up a trap to immobilize the body.

All the drow elves were hit, and then the two undead guards, Dahei and Erha, appeared from the corner. They first moved the injured Catherine aside and gave her a healing potion, and then caught all the escaped drow elves and locked them up in the cell.

Catherine was devastated, not physically, but mentally.

Obviously, they have been talking about everything, and Catherine has promised to give them a better life, why did they betray? Catherine couldn't think of any reason, why would these drow elves choose to escape at the risk of death instead of staying with her and living a good life?

After listening to her statement, Amber Xiu asked curiously: "Why do you think what they say is true? Catherine, they are drow elves!"

Catherine buried her head back into her knees in shame.

Amber walked over, patted her head and said, "Don't worry, it's not your fault that you were deceived. It's the fault of the person who deceived you. Now you know what the drow elves are like. Before you fully understand them, put away your kindness. Now follow me, let's deal with those escaped drow elves."

Catherine raised her head and asked a little excitedly: "What are you going to do with them?"

"What? You still want to let them go?" Amber asked.

Catherine really wanted to ask Amber Xiu to let them go, but she hesitated when the words came to her lips, and finally said: "No, I will do whatever you say."

I really don't have the ability to recapture the drow elves.

In that case, just listen to the lich. As for the drow elves, Catherine thought of their long conversations and the times they stabbed her body with a knife.

Since they chose to betray, Catherine would no longer plead for them.

Amber Xiu said happily: "Not bad, there has been progress. But don't worry, I don't plan to kill those traitors."

"Ah? Why? This is not like you."

Catherine couldn't believe that Amber would let those betrayers go. This lich even dared to attack gods. He was usually very cruel.

"Killing must have meaning. I never kill without reason or torture without reason. I respect every life equally."

Amber said this very piously, and this was also his greatest realization after being reincarnated as a lich.

Changing from a human to a lich means changing a species. Ambershu began to look at all life from another perspective, a more fair perspective - to see who is more valuable and how to maximize their value.

Everyone, including Amber himself, is on this scale, and only in this way can it be considered fair.

The betrayal of these drow elves was actually part of Amber's plan. There were only 20 of them, and if they killed five of them at once, what would they do next? Besides, these drow elves were worth a lot of money if they were sold, so how could they be killed casually?

Amber took Catherine to the cell. Five drow elves were chained and hung on crosses. They all looked bruised and swollen, as if they had been severely punished.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"How can these two guys slap each other in the face?" Amber Xiu said unhappily.

Catherine thought that Amber was sympathizing with the drow elves, but his next words were: "You can't sell your face if it's damaged."

Catherine looked at Amber Xiu in surprise and asked, "Are you going to sell them?"

Amber nodded and said, "Of course, otherwise what use would they have. Many nobles want a drow elf as an heirloom. Maybe they can give birth to a half-elf and improve the family's bloodline."

"How could you do this? You might as well kill them!" Catherine could not accept this result. It was okay to kill the traitors, but buying them as "heirlooms" of the nobles would be more painful than death. Catherine could not imagine how they would be abused.

However, as soon as Catherine finished speaking, the five drow elves shouted loudly: "No, no, no, don't kill us, we are willing to be slaves and can be sold to anyone, please let us live!"

Catherine's eyes widened. She never expected that the drow would choose this result.

Amber Xiu smiled and said, "You still don't understand the drow. Chastity is not important to them. As long as they can survive, it doesn't matter if they become an heirloom elf. There will always be a chance to escape. As long as they are alive, they will not take any insult to heart. It is precisely because they have almost no sense of shame that the drow will betray without any scruples."

Catherine was speechless after hearing what Amberxiu said. She felt that she was too naive.

What I think is good may not be good for the drow elves. Is it because of this difference in concepts that the drow elves betray me?

Catherine fell into deep thought, but Amber said to the five drow elves: "Catherine is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see you suffer, but I also know that this little favor means nothing to you. Every drow elf is born ambitious. So, I can give you another choice."

Amber's words puzzled the five drow elves. The lich in front of them was obviously much more powerful than the stupid elves. They didn't have any good expectations for the future. Amber didn't care what they thought, but just said: "I know you want freedom, so let's make a deal. I still have fifteen drow elves under my command, and there will be more in the future. I will hand these drow elves over to you to lead. What you have to do is very simple, assist Catherine and make these drow elves willing to obey Catherine's orders.

"Each of you, as long as you can get 100 drow elves to voluntarily obey Catherine's orders, you can leave. I swear in the name of the God of Alchemy that I will never violate this contract! If you are willing, I will leave a magic mark on you, and when you complete the contract, I will let you go.

"Of course, you can also choose the second one, and I will kill you right now."

Without any hesitation, the five drow elves chose to sign a contract with Ambershu, and then they each received three drow elves. At this point, the twenty drow elves were divided into five groups.

Amber gave them enough time to discuss it, then took Catherine aside and whispered, "These drow elves are handed over to you, and all you need to do is to respond ambiguously to whatever they say. Don't agree, don't refute, and then carefully record all their words and actions, no matter how big or small. Do you understand?"

Catherine said a little puzzledly: "I will do it well, but why do you let the drow elves take care of the drow elves? Wouldn't it be more dangerous if they united together?"

Amberxiu wanted to say that Catherine's destiny was to work overtime for him until she cried bitterly, and she would never die before completing this future.

But Catherine would definitely be angry with him if he said that, so Amber told her: "The drow elves are the ones who understand the drow elves best. There are classes among them. Only they know how to make the drow elves loyal. What you need to do is to record this method. As for the danger, what? You were stabbed and you are afraid?"

Catherine said firmly: "I'm not afraid. This is a mission given to me by the gods. Besides, I won't be careless again!"

"Very good, I'll leave it to you then."

After giving his instructions, Amber returned to his laboratory, took out a piece of parchment, and thought about how to write a letter to James Watson.

After thinking about it, Amber decided to first talk about the fact that Alan owed him 200,000 gold coins.
