272: Changes of the Drow

The envoys of the Snake-Human Clan quickly sent back information.

The great hall was silent, and everyone looked at the information before them, at a loss.

"Why is the Demon God Cult able to corrupt the Elf Race?" an official asked in disbelief.

The information received showed that the Elf Race was suffering from the harm of the Demon God Cult.

Lin Ye found this incredibly unbelievable. He knew the Elf Race well; this race loved peace, hated bloodshed, and was essentially insulated from the Demon God Cult.

During the chaos of the Demon God Cult that erupted on Blue Star, many spies had infiltrated both the humans and the Dwarf Race, but only the Elf Race had remained unscathed.

Therefore, he could not quite understand why the elves on the Elf Continent were suffering from the harm of the Demon God Cult.

"Could it be that the elves here aren't the typical kind of elves?" Lin Ye secretly speculated.

In some film and television works from his past life, there were things like color-themed Elf Forests.

In the Astral Realm, it was quite reasonable for there to be many types of elves.

Although they were all produced by an Elf Ancient Tree, each Elf Ancient Tree was different. Moreover, just as oranges grown in the south become bitter when transplanted to the north, elves born from the same Elf Ancient Tree could develop different personalities due to environmental influences.

Besides, calculating the time, the chaos of the Demon God Cult should indeed be reaching its peak.

In the Galaxy and surrounding star systems, due to the appearance of Lin Ye's Demon Detection Instrument, the chaos of the Demon God Cult had been extinguished not long after it began, and now every place was peaceful.

However, the Astral Realm did not have his Demon Detection Instrument popularized.

"Mr. Lin Ye, we hope to purchase a batch of runic Demon Detection Instruments from the human race to support the Elf Race." Upon learning the news and having Lin Ye's divination confirmed, Diana also developed a sense of crisis.

The two races were closely linked; they prospered together and suffered together. Helping the Elf Race resolve their crisis was also helping her own Snake-Human Clan avoid disaster.

"Very well, I will send humans to deliver the Demon Detection Instruments to provide support," Lin Ye said.

The Snake-Human Clan began to discuss how to support the Elf Race in overcoming this calamity.

Lin Ye was bored on the side, so he began to learn about the information on the elves of the Elf Continent.

The main composition of elves on this continent was not much different from the elves of the Yi Lan Continent, but due to various influences, they had differentiated into several different types of elves.

The main body were called Forest Elves, and the derivatives included Moon Elves, Dark Elves, Light Elves, Plains Elves, Ocean Elves, etc.

This subverted Lin Ye's perception; after all, in his eyes, elves were always images of children of nature hiding in forests.

Who would have thought that so many types would be born based on different living environments? Especially the Ocean Elves; hey, isn't the gap in lifestyle a bit too large?

Depending on their living environment, the magic the elves were good at also differed.

Light Elves lived in the tropics and high mountain plains, excelling in light magic. Dark Elves liked moonlit nights, worshipped the moon, and excelled in lunar magic. Dark Elves excelled in dark powers, Plains Elves accompanied exotic beasts and excelled in beast taming and archery. Ocean Elves excelled in water-based spells.

In the information, the Demon God Cult, relying on bewitchment, had corrupted many elves into a brand new type of elf—the Drow.

Drow had black skin, white hair, and evil tendencies. They were usually depicted as living in underground cities, distinctly different from the elves of the surface world. The social structure of the Drow was usually matriarchal, with females occupying a dominant position in society. Their culture was full of intrigue and power struggles, and was often associated with dark powers such as demons and demon worship.

This type of elf was not uncommon in hell, and they had even bred into a huge race.

They were normal elves at first, but after being bewitched, they began to worship the Spider Queen Lolth. They were chaotic, evil, and licentious; compared to elves, they were two extremes.

Even the cunning and cold Dark Elves were actually generally inclined towards the side of order, but the Drow were thoroughly evil-aligned creatures.

This time, the Demon God Cult did not know what method they used, but it was particularly effective in bewitching elves. Once an elf was corrupted into a Drow, the elves around them would often quickly be bewitched as well.

After two thousand years of development by the Demon God Cult, elf society had been corrupted beyond recognition.

But after further thought, Lin Ye discovered that this involved the struggle between the Elf God Aurora and the Spider Queen.

The Drow worshipped the Spider Queen, while the elves worshipped Aurora. This was both a struggle between the Demon God Cult and the elves, and a struggle between Aurora and Lolth.

The proposal was quickly put forward, and Lin Ye took one look at it and left.

As a high-ranking official, he naturally had the responsibility to manage these things.

It was just that since it might involve two deities, he needed to thoroughly understand their strength.

Aurora was their own deity, so he already understood her.

As for the Spider Queen, being a long-famous dark deity, Lin Ye did not know much about her.

Fortunately, the information packed from the Wizard World contained relevant knowledge.

Lin Ye was grateful countless times that he had packed this knowledge when he went to the Wizard World; this was too important for Lin Ye.

Lolth was the absolute ruler of the Drow, excelling in soul power and dark power.

Lolth also maintained her rule through her minions—such as the high priestesses known as the "Handmaidens of the Spider Queen" and her assassin organizations. These minions acted under Lolth's instructions, executing her plans to ensure the stability and obedience of Drow society.

...

After coordination, the Demon Detection Instruments began to be sent to the Elf Race in a continuous stream.

Elves did not need to absorb supernatural abilities, but they could be transformed into Drow through magic power.

These Drow, transformed from normal elves, could hide their identities just like the Demon God Cult followers outside.

Lin Ye also chose to enter along with the input of the Demon Detection Instruments.

This was the most important city of the Snake-Human Clan in the Astral Realm—Medusa.

Named after the Queen, it was enough to show how much the Snake-Human Clan valued it.

The Snake-Human Clan had established many cities on the Elf Continent, and according to the agreement, they exercised power through regional autonomy.

This was very unbelievable; the regime of one race was scattered in fragments on the territory of another race.

Except for the Elf Race, who were such great philanthropists, Lin Ye could not think of any other regime distributed in this way.

Now the Drow had not yet declared independence and were still hiding among the elves. If one did not look at the rising crime rate, perhaps everyone would still think everything was fine.

Then, Lin Ye arrived at the royal city of the Elf Empire—Lunea—along with the reinforcement envoy group.

This reinforcement envoy group received a warm welcome from the Elf Race.

The elves were too simple; they had absolutely no way to deal with cunning villains like the Demon God Cult.

Upon learning that there was an instrument capable of detecting Drow, they were overjoyed, and even the Elf Queen came to welcome them personally.

"Welcome, friends of the Snake-Human Clan, to the Elf Race." Elf Queen Rhea came personally to welcome the arrival of the Snake-Human envoy group.

The head of the envoy group respectfully greeted the Queen, and after a series of polite formalities, introduced the heavyweight figure who had come to provide aid to the Queen—Lin Ye.
