Snow Mist walked into the meeting room of the original Brad Bloodline Chamber of Commerce, still looking as cold as ice.
“Lord Ning Shi, I want to confirm with you whether you killed Anjelo with your own hands.”
Ning Shi was very surprised. He did not understand Snow Mist’s logic.
If Snow Mist was afraid of Grand Elder Silverdew’s censure and wanted to take revenge, she should have sent her troops to attack the extreme battle group with Hilker earlier.
Why would she wait for Hilker to die before coming to denounce him?
“I killed him. Do you want revenge? You’re welcome anytime.”
[Snow Mist has confirmed that you killed Anjelo, intimacy +10, current character’s intimacy: 50.]
Ning Shi’s expression changed. The intimacy level had appeared!
The Star Elf, Snow Mist, was actually a hero character.
Did she have any enmity with Anjelo?
Snow Mist’s voice was cold and emotionless.
“Lord Ning Shi, you should be clear about Anjelo’s background. He is the only son of the Grand Elder of the Moon Elves, Silverdew. If you kill Anjelo, there will be endless assassinations and revenge.”
“Aren’t you afraid?”
What a joke. It was just a game. What was there to be afraid of? If they couldn’t beat him, they could just die and stay low for some time.
“I don’t care about revenge at all. I will unify Duohuang and establish a new order here. It’s only a matter of time before I offend the three empires.”
[Snow Mist heard about your ambition to unify Duohuang. Intimacy +5,?current character’s intimacy: 55.]
Ning Shi: ???
“I can form an alliance with Lord Ning Shi and help you unify Duohuang. I only hope that you can take in and protect the Star Elves.”
Ning Shi almost suspected that he was hearing things.
“Aren’t the Star Elves one of the three great elves of the Elven Empire? Do they still need my protection?”
Then, Ning Shi reacted. “There’s an internal conflict in the Elven Empire?”
For the first time, Snow Mist’s cold expression wavered, and a pained expression flashed across her face.
“That’s right. My clansmen were slaughtered by the Moon Elves, and the Sun Elves chose to stand by and watch.”

Ning Shi believed in Snow Mist’s words. Because intimacy could not deceive others, no wonder Ning Shi was able to win Snow Mist’s favor by killing Anjelo.
If the Moon Elves were determined to destroy the Star Elves, the other factions on the continent would not dare to get involved, and the Star Elves would indeed have nowhere to go.
Duohuang was the only choice.
There was something that Ning Shi found very strange, so he asked directly.
“As one of the three great elves, why were the Star Elves so easily defeated by the Moon Elves? Didn’t the Moon Elves do this to exhaust the national strength of the Elven Empire?”
One had to know that the three kingdoms were standing at the peak of the continent. Everyone wanted to unify the continent, and the war had never stopped.
Such a self-destructive internal struggle was considered an idiotic act.
Snow Mist shook her head and told him the secret of the elves.
“The Elven Empire is known as one of the three great elven races, but there is a huge disparity in population. The Sun Elves have the largest population, more than 50 million people, and the Moon Elves have 30 million people. As for the Star Elves, due to the difficulty in reproduction, there are less than 100,000 people.”
“The reason why the Star Elves are on par with the Sun Elves and Moon Elves is that we have a powerful divine weapon, the Starfall. This divine weapon is hidden in the mysterious starry sky, and it can release starlight divine spells from the sky. Its power is enough to destroy cities, and it is even more powerful than super magic.”
“Among the three great elves, the Elven King had always been held by the Sun and Moon Elves alternatively, but the status of the Star Elves have always been detached.”
Snow Mist’s expression was slightly proud, but Ning Shi suddenly pricked her with a needle.
“If my guess is correct, the Star Elves relied on the Starfall to occupy the best resources of the Elven Empire with a small population, right?”
“Then, you all relied on the Starfall and began to slack off on your own cultivation. You were also arrogant and despotic within the Elven Empire. Finally, one day, the divine weapon Starfall disappeared. The Moon Elves, who had been holding grudges for a long time, could no longer hold it in and raised the butcher’s knife in their hands.”
Snow Mist was silent for a moment before she slowly said.
“That’s right. My clansmen were too proud, but they wouldn’t be massacred, right? I will definitely return the blood feud!”
Ning Shi chuckled and continued to attack Snow Mist.
“Anyone can say harsh words, but it’s very difficult to achieve them. If you want to take revenge, on what basis? On your own powerful strength, or on the combined strength of ten thousand Star Elves?”
“Perhaps, you can use a honey trap and marry a king of the human empire to see if any king has gone mad and raised the strength of the entire country to take revenge for you.”
Faced with Ning Shi’s questioning and mockery, Snow Mist was speechless.
Ning Shi believed that Snow Mist had a chance to take revenge because she was a hero character. Such a person would be able to stir up the tides of the era in the future.
However, Ning Shi had to strike her down and then give her hope.
“Duohuang is a place with great potential. There are 500,000 permanent residents in the city and close to a million people living in the surrounding villages. If you count the barbarians, beastmen and goblins on the deserted north plains, the population is over ten million.”
“Establishing a new order here is enough to develop a powerful duchy. This is your hope for revenge.”
“And the power you have now can’t beat me. Duohuang can only be mine.”
Most of the troops of the Forest Night Song Chamber of Commerce were Sun Elves and Moon Elves. After the internal strife, Snow Mist could no longer command the longbow group and the magic team.
As for the Star Elves who fled, most of them were underage and were not good at fighting.
Snow Mist’s intelligence was extremely high. She understood Ning Shi’s intentions.
“The Star Elves are willing to become your subordinates, but you must swear a bloodline oath. One day, you must take revenge for the Star Elves!”
With his goal achieved, Ning Shi smiled.
“No problem. I swear on my bloodline that when the time is right, I will help the Star Elves complete their revenge.”
Ning Shi’s expression turned solemn as he asked in a clear voice.
“Star Elf Snow Mist, are you willing to become my follower? From now on, you will target my goals and benefit from my interests.”
Snow Mist lowered her head. “I am willing to follow in your footsteps.”
[After deducting 100 reputation points, the follower contract has been signed. Snow Mist will soon activate the hero character template. Players are requested to choose three types of talents to share with Snow Mist.]
The reputation of the game avatar increased to 558/2758 (rather famous). As Ning Shi defeated the knights and occupied 12 streets, his reputation increased rapidly.
Ning Shi stared at Snow Mist’s beautiful face and said, “Snow Mist, as your boss, I will bestow you with an undying body, the power of lightning, the might of a dragon and endless potential!”
Lightning field (blue), undying (blue) and draconic might (blue) were shared by Ning Shi with Snow Mist.
Among them, undying (blue) could only display the effect of the purple regeneration talent because Snow Mist’s physique had not reached 40 points.

Compared to Hilker and Piermont, Snow Mist’s individual strength was slightly weaker. However, as a mage unit, the destructive power of a group battle was even more astonishing.
Snow Mist’s profession level had reached Level 17, but the system’s initial leveling experience was not high.
Just like Bruce, Snow Mist was shocked by the character template. Her horizons were much higher than Bruce’s.
“Boss, are you the messenger of the God of Slaughter, Muro? Only the God of Slaughter can allow people to gain strength from killing and strengthen themselves.”
Ning Shi was in a good mood after recruiting another hero character as his follower. He started to joke.
“I’m a faithless person and don’t know the God of Slaughter. I belong to a mysterious organization — the Fourth Calamity.”
Snow Mist noticed the casual tone of Ning Shi’s words and knew that he was joking, so she reminded him.
“Boss, gods really exist. Don’t joke about gods. There’s a proverb in the Moen Continent: ‘The end of the bloodline is a super magical beast, and the end of natural magic is a God’.”
“Even if you don’t believe in it, don’t blaspheme.”
Ning Shi was interested. He asked, “Why do the humans with the largest population not believe in gods, but a few other races do? Don’t gods need believers the most?”
“It’s said that a thousand years ago, there were a lot of natural mages, and they were very firm in their belief in gods. Then there was a catastrophe, and humans began to specialize in bloodlines, walking on the path of bloodline warriors and bloodline mages.”
“The Elven scholars had many speculations about the specific content of the catastrophe.”
“Some said that the gods were attacked by unknown creatures from the outside world, and they collectively retreated to the Divine Kingdom, unable to respond to the prayers of their believers. Some said that the super magical beasts defeated the gods, and the human race only followed the footsteps of the victors.”
“In short, after the catastrophe, the power of the gods shrank rapidly, and they gradually stopped appearing in the world frequently. But to us, the gods are still high and mighty, and can not be blasphemed.”
Ning Shi nodded and stopped discussing this topic.
“I will temporarily hand over the leadership of the extreme battle group to you. You first take down the 10 streets controlled by the Forest Night Song Chamber of Commerce and then defeat the Griffin Chamber of Commerce in one go.”
“After eliminating the forces of the three empires, unification of Duohuang is just around the corner.”
Snow Mist’s heart was set on revenge, and she was very concerned about the unification of Duohuang. She bowed and left.
After a while, Amy walked in with a group of beastmen.
Most of the beastmen were female. They had furry ears on their heads, and their eyes were round and deep, like a pair of round gemstones. They also had long tails.
“Boss, these are cat assassins. They’re good at assassination and intelligence work.”
Ning Shi didn’t hesitate. He immediately made hundreds of cat assassins his servants.
The intelligence department of the extreme battle group was officially established. The leader of the cat people, Sonya, was the person in charge of the intelligence department.
Following that, Ning Shi contracted dozens of servants, filling up the number of servants to 2000.
