Chapter 861: Chapter 36 This World is Too Crazy, Cats Are Becoming Godmothers to Mice_2
However, just as a few Dark Elf Warriors charged in, they were swept out by a pitch-black spider leg:
“How dare you disturb my pleasure, are you seeking death?”
Hearing that deep and sinister female voice emanating from the Temple, the Dark Elves outside involuntarily halted, explaining with trepidation:
“My lord, we heard the Temple’s alarm…”
“An accident, now scram!”
The Spider Goddess inside the Temple spoke impatiently, her attitude quite vile.
Yet, the more she acted this way, the more reassured the Dark Elves became.
The Spider Goddess Rose’s temperament has always been violent and eccentric, unpredictable. Her response, just like now, confirmed that the recent incident was indeed just an accident, nothing to be concerned about.
Just as the Dark Elves breathed a sigh of relief, the commotion caused by the escape of the sacrifices spread to them.
The Dark Elf Priestesses, upon receiving this dreadful news, were all frightened, their composure faltering.
Without the sacrifices to please the Deities, they feared that their lord, in a rage, might tear them to pieces alive.
“Idiots, go find them now!”
“If you don’t bring back those sacrifices, you will take their place!”
Accompanied by the Priestesses’ angry curses, squad after squad of Dark Elves poured out from their lairs, scattering in all directions, frantically searching for those who had escaped from the dungeons.
Amidst the chaos, a man and a woman silently left the Dark Elves’ Underground City and ascended to the surface.
~~
At this very moment, by the murmuring stream.
Celebrian paced back and forth restlessly by the riverside.
Having waited approximately a quarter of an hour, she could no longer bear it and reached for the Longbow beside her.
Though her Elf Clan are prideful by nature, they dislike being indebted to anyone.
Especially for such a great favor that risked life and limb to attract the enemy’s attention, creating an opportunity for her to escape.
Just as Celebrian was gearing up to head back to the Dark Elves’ Underground City, rustling sounds came from the bushes ahead.
“Who’s there? Show yourself!”
The vigilant Celebrian immediately drew her Longbow, aiming the ready-to-fire Elf Secret Arrow at the source of the sound.
However, a purple-black Dagger, having approached unnoticed, gently pressed against her throat, exuding a chilling and sinister coldness.
“Darling, don’t move, this Dagger is poisoned.”
Along with the mocking whisper, a purple-black figure appeared behind her, a teasing tongue flicking across one cheek of her prey from between her cherry lips.
And that obsidian-like skin tone, along with the unique pattern on the Dagger, made Celebrian’s pupils dilate in shock.
Dark Elves! They had found them!
Realizing this, Celebrian’s eyes flashed sharply, her hand gripping the Longbow tensed, ready to risk everything in a desperate fight.
“Alright, stop teasing her.”
At this moment, a deep voice echoed, as Luo En emerged from the bushes, stopping the imminent confrontation.
Seeing Luo En, both Elf females simultaneously lowered their weapons.
However, one did so out of trust, the other out of fear.
Celebrian broke free from her restraint and asked Luo En with suspicion:
“Who is she?”
“Rose, a Dark Elf I happened to rescue from a punishment cell. Without her help, I might not have been able to escape from the Underground City.
Luo En responded according to the pre-arranged story and introduced her to Celebrian.
(Note: The transliteration for Rose is based on the English word, representing beauty, making it a suitable alias for the Spider Goddess and convenient for narrative purposes.)
But due to the deep-rooted animosity between the Light Elves and Dark Elves, Celebrian’s wariness didn’t subside in the slightest, and she frowned with doubt at Luo En:
“Why was she imprisoned by the Dark Elves? And just so happened to be encountered by you?”
“Because I’m different from those Dark Elves; I am a Believer of the Dark Girl Iris.”

Rose proactively responded, her face showing a mix of deep helplessness and sadness.
Hearing this, Celebrian suddenly understood, her hostility towards the Dark Elf greatly diminished.
Just as the Light Elves, due to ideological differences, had split into three factions, so had the Dark Elves.
Not all Dark Elves submitted to fear, worshipping the Spider Goddess Rose. Some still held on to ancient traditions and pursuits, hoping to ascend to the surface world through peaceful means, to bask in sunlight, and to live in more suitable conditions, coexisting harmoniously with the Light Elves.
And to counter the increasingly powerful Spider Queen Rose, they chose to worship the “Dark Girl” Iris as their deity.
It is said that she is the daughter of the Spider Queen Rose from when she was still in Elf form.
Unlike her mother Rose, however, she is a kind-hearted Goddess filled with melancholy and sorrow, governing over song, beauty, dance, swordsmanship, hunting, and moonlight.
Moreover, the teachings she advocates are also very gentle:
“Besides battling evil, one should remain kind and spread joy everywhere. One should be diligent in learning and teaching others new songs, dances, and fluid swordplay, striving to promote harmony among races. One should aid newcomers, shelter the homeless, and provide relief to those in trouble. Respond gently to others’ unreasonable offenses, but when faced with malicious harm, retaliate swiftly and violently to prevent further injury. Extend a helping hand to all Dark Elves in hardship, letting them hear the Goddess’ gospel: A new world awaits you on the surface, in the great land of light. Return to the surface peacefully, once again bathe in the sunlight, where verdant trees and blossoming flowers abound.”
