275: Bitch Loris

“Elf Queen, how will you deal with these Drow?” Lin Ye asked.

The Elf Queen was clearly silent.

Lin Ye’s heart sank slightly.

His most feared outcome had come to pass; the Queen was actually soft-hearted…

“What do you think?” The Queen asked Lin Ye, her eyes filled with pain. For the benevolent Elf Queen, slaughtering so many Elves, even if they were Drow, was unbearable.

“I think they should all be killed,” Lin Ye said, a murderous glint in his eyes.

“But many of those Drow are innocent. They were forced to transform into Drow. I have already failed once, must I fail again?” the Elf Queen retorted.

Lin Ye’s fists clenched. He hadn’t expected such a foolish statement to come from the Elf Queen’s mouth.

“Ridiculous. Are the people they harmed not innocent? Even if they suppress their nature after becoming Drow, they still commit all sorts of evil,” Lin Ye said.

The Elf Queen struggled for a long time before finally saying with a sense of relief, “I understand.”

Lin Ye shook his head.

Hesitation after hesitation—the Elf Race’s current crisis was precisely due to the Elf Queen’s indecisiveness.

However, he was now very curious about how the Demon God Cult managed to quickly transform Elves into Drow.

Driven by curiosity, he found a Drow.

Upon realizing she had been discovered, this Drow no longer concealed herself and reverted to her original appearance.

Seeing Lin Ye, she was about to curse when she was stunned by a burst of energy.

Lin Ye began to search her Soul using Soul Law.

He hadn't specifically learned this technique, but using Soul Law to search the Soul of a Drow far weaker than himself was incredibly easy.

As for the side effects… Lin Ye could only promise to be as gentle as possible and not turn her into an idiot.

Regarding the question of whether criminals should have human rights, Lin Ye felt that no one would dare to ask him that question directly.

There was a lot of memory, but Lin Ye only needed to pinpoint the day she became a Drow.

This day was very important to her, leaving a deep impression.

In the memory, her best friend gave her a pill, after which she fell unconscious and woke up as a Drow.

“It’s that simple?” Lin Ye was somewhat incredulous.

What kind of medicine could change a race? Although it was a transformation from Elf to Drow, the power required was considerable.

Then he thought he might have misunderstood. Perhaps it was a sedative, followed by a ritual.

He began to explore the Drow’s other memories.

Presumably, she must have assisted others in their transformation as well.

Finally, at a memory node, he found the scene he was looking for.

It was a dim room. As the Elf protagonist in the memory fainted, a group of Drow began to chant spells.

Then, the magic array activated, and an ancient, evil aura emanated.

The entire room was filled with a thick power of darkness.

The Elf in the magic array began to tremble violently, then underwent a transformation, becoming a Drow.

“That’s it?” Lin Ye was stunned.

According to the information he had gathered, Elves generally needed to change their faith to Spider Queen Lolth to transform into Drow.

Only when their faith was devout enough could they be infused with demonic energy and undergo a complex transformation to become a Drow.

But for them? No brainwashing, no psychological manipulation, just direct, forced execution.

Overbearing Spider Queen, forced love.

Lin Ye could feel that the magic array must have been the Spider Queen’s method.

To compete for faith, the Spider Queen had abandoned all pretense, transforming into a ruthless converter.

Lin Ye always felt that things weren’t that simple.

This method was effective, but it consumed a lot of the Spider Queen’s essence. After all, everyone knew which consumed more: voluntary or forced conversion.

Moreover, even if they were forcibly transformed into Drow, those who were compelled would naturally not respect the Spider Queen much, producing pitifully little faith.

“Perhaps there’s another scheme.”

Otherwise, he wouldn’t believe that a meticulous deity would engage in a losing business.

Every Faith God who had lived for a long time was the most seasoned con artist and capitalist.

They needed to accumulate faith and develop their faith empire; every bit of faith had to be carefully calculated.

Developing a faith market required investing resources, paying wages (faith) to believers who worked for them, and discussing budgets for wars…

They weren’t like Law Gods, whose bodies could recover by drawing power from heaven and earth after being drained.

.........

Lin Ye told his speculation to the Elf Queen.

Her eyes lit up. “Perhaps I should seek help from a deity to transform the lost children back.”

Lin Ye thought it over carefully and felt it was indeed feasible.

For Aurora, transforming them back should not be difficult.

The Elf Queen began to inquire of the deity Aurora.

Aurora was a laid-back deity, not even knowing she had been cuckolded.

When the Elf Queen contacted her, she was traveling around the Astral Plane.

“Huh? What? Someone dares to steal my believers? And it’s that bitch Lolth?” Aurora was furious.

Damn it, no wonder she wondered why her faith income had decreased a bit recently; she had thought it was due to the Demon Invasion.

“Just you wait,” she thought bitterly. Stealing someone’s believer was like killing their parents.

She was somewhat laid-back, but only when others didn’t provoke her.

Now that bitch dared to act on her territory; she truly had a death wish.

She retrieved her beloved small sailboat, opened a Wormhole, and prepared to go to the Astral Plane.

Deities generally resided in the Celestial Realm, where energy was abundant, reducing the consumption of divine bodies on faith.

To spread faith, they usually relied on their believers, controlling them remotely.

Those who possessed an Angel Reincarnation Pool could even send angels to the mortal realm.

Aurora did not have an Angel Reincarnation Pool; she once did, but traded it away.

She was an Elf, naturally of the same race as Elves, so there was no need to raise angels.

“The great Elf Goddess Aurora is about to descend. We just need to await the arrival of a miracle,” the Elf Queen said fanatically.

Lin Ye was astonished. This goddess truly was a person of strong character. Upon discovering traces of an enemy deity, she immediately prepared to descend.

“We need to gather the Drow quickly,” the Elf Queen said.

Lin Ye nodded.

With a clear objective, the ancient Elf Empire began to display its strength.

Teams of fully equipped Elves patrolled everywhere, all cities were placed under martial law, and Drow were arrested.

Any citizen who had not undergone testing would lose their citizen rights.

They could not ride magic trains or enter/exit city gates.

If they failed to comply for over a month, they would automatically be considered Drow and arrested.

Due to the rapid activation of martial law, many Drow had no time to react and were arrested.

They were somewhat bewildered, wondering how they were suddenly discovered when things had been fine.

They also found the testing extremely strange. Wasn’t it just basic physical examination items? What was going on?

Uninformed ordinary citizens thought an epidemic had broken out, and they cooperated very well.

The Elf Race had also experienced epidemics in their history, such as a virulent plague spread by a plague messenger.

Therefore, everyone was on edge, extremely wary of others.

The officials did not deny it, as residents having a sense of precaution and self-isolating also prevented further corruption by the Drow.
