Lara nodded.
Of course, I understand everything you said, Matthew. I’m doing exactly that. It’s just that I can’t accept the life you’ve given me with a clear conscience. It’s the kind of life I yearned for the most when I was underground, but every time in the dead of night, my heart is always suffering. You don’t know what it means behind the growth of every Drow Warrior.
In Deep City, in order to please ‘Evil Queen Babasha’, the drows went crazy, killing, plotting, incest, and tyranny… Too many sins were engraved on my body. I walked out from there, and those sins will accompany me for the rest of my life.
“Do you know what you need to do to become a high-level Drow Warrior?
“Training day and night, being beaten and whipped day and night, always on guard against sneak attacks from one’s peers…This was not the most difficult part.
“To me, the most difficult part was the last part of the advancement ritual.
“After every high-level Drow warrior passed the first few stages of the ritual, they would be asked by the Evil Queen to go to the surface. She would tell us to find a human village and choose a family with children from the village. Then, we must kill their children in front of their parents.”
At this point.
Lara closed her eyes in pain.
Ella asked in a daze, “So, did you do it?”
“Yes.” Lara replied with difficulty, “I remember it very clearly. At that time, my instructor brought me to a very remote village. It was daytime at that time, and all the men in the village had gone out to work, leaving only the old, young, women and children to do some simple work in their homes.
“The instructor found me a house. There was only a baby and his mother in the house.
“He tied her up and made her watch as I strangled her child.
“I did it since my instructor threatened me.
“When the baby was carried by me, his eyes were wide open, and he even smiled at me.
“I couldn’t forget his smile, nor could I forget the howling of his mother in my ear.
“After that, I left the house in a daze. When I woke up, the instructor had already killed all the other people in the village.
“He regarded this as an honour and planned to use this matter as a merit to pray for blessings from the Evil Empress.
“I had an argument with him on the way back to the underground.
“In the end, I killed him.
“I wanted to leave, but Drow’s identity meant that I couldn’t survive on the surface, and there was no place for me in other underground cities. In the end, I could only take the instructor’s head back to Deep City and confess to the matriarch that I had killed him.
“I thought that I would be punished, but I was personally rewarded by Evil Empress Babasha.
“After that, I lived numblv in Deep City for a while until I became a training
instructor for high-level Drow Warriors.
“Soon, I received a mission.
“The Evil Empress ordered me to lead a Drow Warrior to the surface to attack the human village and assist him in completing the last part of the advancement ceremony.
“I couldn’t convince myself to accept this mission, so in the end, I could only choose to defect. “After that, I wandered around the Underdark…” At this point.
Lara’s recollection was interrupted by a rude voice.
“If I were you, I would go back to that city and kill everyone who forced you to do evil!”
On the other side of the altar, Samantha and Clegg walked over.
They seemed to have heard a lot, and the one who spoke was the latter.
Clegg looked very angry, her thick nostrils unique to Orc, shooting out steam. “Instead of living in guilt, it’s better to do something practical.”
Lara was stunned for a moment before she smiled bitterly. “How can my power shake the rule of Deep City? They were too powerful. Whether it was the matriarch or the spider-like elves raised by the Evil Empress Babasha, they were not something I could fight against alone.”
The Orc Sword Saintess said without changing her expression,
“Then let’s make killing our way back our goal for cultivation, just like what I’m doing now.
“Many years ago, my hometown, Storluk, was invaded by the evil Empire. Now, it has been reduced to ruins. I am the last orc to walk out of Storluk. I came to the Aindor Continent alone to find an opportunity to kill my way back.
“Every time I thought of my companions who had fled with me but died halfway, I would feel anger and guilt in my heart. I would often ask the heavens why they only let me live.
“However, these excess emotions would only hinder my progress. I learned to live with them and even turned them into nourishment for me.
“I firmly believe that one day, I will be able to kill my way back to Storluk and avenge my hometown and family.” Lara stared at her blankly. Clegg met her gaze without any guilt.
“You’re amazing.”
Lara praised sincerely.
Inspired by Clegg’s words.
She looked much better.
Matthew greeted Samantha, then turned around and said,
“Evil empire? Which empire? Was Storluk a guardian planet in the astral world?”
Clegg was much colder towards Matthew. She only nodded.
Samantha explained,
“Storluk is a sub-plane in the astral plane, a part of a guardian planet. Clegg went through a lot of hardships to break through the encirclement of the Antu Empire’s vanguard and arrive at Aindor alive..”
