With Jenn's abilities, even though his chances of victory weren't high if he attacked Menzoberranzan head-on, it wouldn't be a problem for him to make Menzoberranzan look miserable if he really wanted to.
However, Jenn didn't intend to do that. If there were only external enemies, it would only force the Dark Elves to stand together and pray to Lorci for protection and blessings.
This wasn't what Jenn wanted to see. On the contrary, he hoped to disintegrate the Dark Elf society from within. Not only did he want them to taste heart-wrenching pain, but he also wanted them to waver and doubt Lorci. He wanted to tear a hole in Lorci's spiderweb and let the female spider know that he wasn't to be trifled with.
"Alright, since you've already said so, I have nothing else to say."
Facing Jenn's reply, Verna was completely speechless. She felt like a little demon in a battle between gods.
Lorci was the supreme god of the Dark Elves. Even though Verna had never received much love from Lorci, she was still in awe of this goddess.
Although she couldn't tell who Jenn was, the fact that he dared to arm wrestle with Lorci was enough to prove that his strength wasn't ordinary.
Regardless of who he was, both of them weren't in a position where she could come into contact with him.
Since she had already become Jenn's captive, whatever he said was right. Since she was already here, what else could she do?
"But, don't you think there's a problem with this?"
As a Dark Elf, Verna was obviously more familiar with the style of her compatriots than Jenn.
"Although you claim to be a Legendary-mage, they didn't actually see you use any Legendary-mage spells. The instantaneous lightning spell indeed proves that you have the standard of a high-order mage, but the difference between Legendary-mages and high-order mages is huge.
We dark elves aren't like the gray dwarves who know nothing about magic. The matriarch of the Dinav Family has always been cautious and would never make such a mistake.
Once she discovers that you don't have the strength that you claim to have, the only outcome for you is to be thrown out to feed the spider elves!
Aren't you worried about this at all?! "
Even though Verna claimed that she wasn't concerned about Jenn's life and death, it was apparent how worried she was about the current situation from her anxious tone.
Facing Verna's question, Zayen shrugged as usual, spread his arms apart, and put on an indifferent look.
"I never worry about things that can't be changed. If Matriarch Dina really sees through my disguise, we'll just kill our way out.
A mere Menzoberranzan wouldn't be able to trap me. Furthermore, I would rather have Dark Elves drop by the Underground City to give me EXP every day.
Besides, I believe that even if Matriarch Dina knows that I'm a fake, she won't expose me. Instead, she'll patiently play along with me until the end. "
"Why?"
Verna revealed a dubious expression. Based on her experience, the dark elven matriarchs weren't people she could get along with.
If Matriarch Dina found out that Jenn was playing tricks in front of her, she would definitely eliminate him mercilessly to protect her authority.
Facing Verna's question, Jenn revealed an ice-cold smile.
"It's simple. The dark elf patrol team that we annihilated earlier was from the Dinav Family."
Verna's eyes glinted. As a dark elf, she instantly understood what Jenn meant.
In all fairness, the dark elf patrol team that Jenn's group annihilated was considered the elite of the elites. It consisted of two high-grade priests, a combat leader, and more than a dozen well-trained elite warriors.
No family could afford such a loss. Verna didn't know how the Dinav Family had developed over the years, but based on her experience in the dark elf world, a powerful family would at most have four to five high-grade priests. If Dinav was the same, the annihilation of this elite squad was equivalent to weakening the Dinav Family's combat strength by half.
Not only that, but based on the conversation between Jenn and the wax demon, Verna guessed that Lorci wouldn't let this matter rest.
The Spider Goddess was a petty deity to begin with. One could imagine how furious the Spider Queen would be when Zayen discovered the patrol team's failure to conceal their tracks. She would then vent her anger on the Dinav family who did not do their job well.
If what Verna guessed was true, the Dinav Family would be in big trouble. They occupied the position of the second family, but they lost more than half of their high-level combat strength and Lorci's favor.
It was especially so for the latter, which was a fatal blow to a family.
Because this meant that they would be the best fruit for the other families to please Lorci.
In this case, as long as any family defeated the second family, they would surely please Lorci and gain her favor.
If that were the case, there would be an explanation for the Dinav Family's unusual behavior.
The dark elves encouraged private battles and assassinations, but weren't willing to witness a large-scale war.
Therefore, under such circumstances, unless they were fully prepared, they wouldn't recklessly launch an attack on the Dinav Family.
The Dinav Family, which was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, needed a powerful presence to deter potential opponents.
The arrival of a legendary mage would obviously dispel the laughable ambitions of many small fries.
This was why Jenn said that even if the matriarch knew that he was up to no good, she wouldn't expose him. At least, she wouldn't do so before the family crisis was over.
Knock, knock, knock.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Jenn and Verna exchanged looks. The latter puckered her brows, but quickly hid in the shadows.
At this moment, Jenn tidied his robe, sauntered to the door, and opened it.
"Greetings, Sir Mage."
It was Maya's face that entered Jenn's eyes.
Like all her compatriots, this dark elf had inherited the delicate beauty of the elves. Her silver-whitish hair draped over her shoulders and her ever-smiling face left a good impression on others.
A pair of big round eyes were staring at him. The bright eyes that were like gemstones always carried a kind of innocence and innocence that had never been involved in the affairs of the world.
If it weren't for her skin color, she would look more like the elves on the surface and not their distant relatives.
"Is anything the matter?"
"Yes, the matriarch wants you to meet her immediately.
I think you should prepare yourself. After all, the first impression is very important to the matriarch. "
As she said this, Maya winked at Zayen.
"I'll wait for you outside."
After saying this, she turned around briskly and left, leaving behind only a wisp of fragrance.
Zayen, on the other hand, stood at the door and watched Maya's back disappear. Only then did he close the door and return to the room.
At this moment, Verna stepped out of the shadows.
"I'll wait for you outside."
She put on a strange smile and mimicked Maya's words.
"Ah, I didn't expect you to be able to make a dark elf fall head over heels for you."
Facing Verna's mockery, Jenn didn't respond at all.
He returned to his bed and retrieved a luxurious robe from his pocket. At the same time, he took out a silver staff that seemed to be enchanted with powerful spells.
"What do you think of her?"
"Her?"
Upon hearing Jenn's question, Verna let out a sneer.
"She's just a fledgling who just graduated from the priest academy. I haven't seen her in the Dinav family before. It seems like she was born in the past few decades.
What a naive and foolish girl. Why, male? Are you interested in her? "
Upon hearing Verna's words, Jenn turned around and gazed at her.
"She's been using the Truth Seeker spell while talking to me."
Verna's laughter came to an abrupt halt.
She glared at Jenn coldly as though searching for a flaw. Then, she shook her head in disbelief.
"That's impossible. How old is she?
Perhaps even my matriarch and sister didn't have such outstanding performances at her age. "
"There are always geniuses in this world. I can imagine that given enough time, she will become a powerful matriarch."
This time, Verna didn't refute Jenn's words and nodded indifferently.
Kieran nodded indifferently. Frankly speaking, this left Verna feeling somewhat defeated.
After realizing that she couldn't leave this place alone, she had the urge to have an intimate contact between Dinav's head and the saber hanging on her waist to exact revenge.
She also believed that her experience of wandering around the world had brought her far more than these tribesmen.
It was due to this reason that she didn't take Maya seriously. Even though Maya was a high-rank priestess, she was still too young.
In Verna's opinion, even if Maya was evil, she couldn't be that cunning.
But Zayen's words made Verna sense the danger in it. She asked herself if she were to face Maya, she would not be able to detect the ambition and evil hidden in the depths of her heart.
"I didn't expect to meet such an interesting opponent."
As Zayen spoke, he pulled up his hood and put it on his head, covering most of his face, leaving only the corner of his mouth in a meaningful smile.
"But fortunately, she's still young …"
At this point, Zayen closed his mouth, but in the depths of his heart, he completed his next sentence.
And she'll be an interesting toy.
