Chapter 149: Another Drow
Azure World, Departure Island.
It has now been proven that the exit of the space-time passage from Great Xia is on a large island with an area of about 18,000 square kilometers.
The island, which is named "Sailing Island", is about 280 kilometers long from east to west and about 100 kilometers wide from north to south, with some deep bays, and an excellent natural deep-water port due to the north, which is named "Sailing Port". The island is hilly and has a winding coast with only a few small plains.
The island is a volcanic island with about 20 peaks above 200 meters above sea level, and the highest point, the Qihang Volcano, is a dormant volcano with an altitude of about 1,500 meters. The plains are narrow and scattered along the lower reaches of rivers or along the coast. The rivers are mostly short, with turbulent currents in the middle and upper reaches, rich in water power, and small boats can pass downstream.
The above-ground part of Qihang Island has been explored, and many biological samples and ore specimens that are not found on Post-Saturn have been found, but no higher intelligent beings have been found.
It's just that the ruins of a humanoid settlement have been found on the island, which seems to have been destroyed by the Drow Elves, and from the analysis of the ruins, supplies, and remains of the buildings on the site, this town should belong to a humanoid creature called a dwarf in the area. According to interrogations, it appears that the town was destroyed 200 years ago.
Borderlands?
So the Great Xia side claimed this island as their home. Construction will begin in no time soon, preparing to turn the entire island into an advance base for the Empire in the Azure World. As for the Underground Dark Areas, there is no way to do it for the time being, but it won't have much impact on the ground.
The original depression base has changed dramatically, and the entrances and exits of the space-time passage have been paved with railways, which can directly connect the two worlds. The depression has become a base camp and is occupied by various military and research institutes, and is now known as "Base 0", which is classified and will not be allowed to be entered by local natives.
A new base "Base 1" was built outside the depression, which was a purely military base, and an airfield was built to serve as the outer defense of Base 0.
In addition, there is a No. 2 base under construction by the sea, which includes a port and a shipyard, and will have shipbuilding capacity here in the future.
These two new bases are already far away from the space-time portal, and can be used to host the local natives. After the situation stabilizes, that is, after getting rid of the drow city underground, Great Xia is also going to build a few more cities here as a foothold in this world in the future.
Three women and three men, a total of six visiting Drow, were allowed to enter Base 1 after repeated checks.
The six drows are all quite good in appearance, and the first one is even more beautiful. They all apply special ointments to their skins, so it's okay to come out in broad daylight.
After all, Drow is not a fool, and of course he will find a way to overcome his weakness of not being able to see the light, and they have not been idle all these years. And their fear of light is not like a vampire who will die when they take a photo, but will have severe skin allergies. Just apply a special sunscreen ointment and avoid the midday when the sun is at its hottest, and it will have no effect.
"Everyone, please come with me......" led the way by a second lieutenant officer. He is also a monk of the eighth rank.
"Thank you very much, ......," said the female Drow.
Although she spoke the language of Drow, the receiving officer understood it.
For human beings who have mastered extraordinary powers, there is no language barrier in the world, and with a spell such as "Heavenly Translation Mantra" or "Knowing Language", no matter what strange language the other party is, they can communicate, at least there is no obstacle in daily conversation.
These drows apparently possess similar spells or skills, or carry paramores of the translation type. Anyway, now both sides can communicate freely.
The guests observed the interior of the base with curiosity and telepathically communicated.
"It's really not the evil camp, I've seen the camp along the way, most of them are neutral and kind, some are absolutely neutral and neutral good, and a small amount of good order...... On the whole, they should belong to the camp of order neutrality. ”
"But it's a bit strange that they call themselves humans, and their appearance is clearly not human, at least not human beings in the Azure World......"
"It's not surprising that you're coming across planes...... Hey, they have a lot of golems, and I've never seen a golem of this shape. Looks like they're from the outer plane......"
"The vast majority of people have occupations, most of them have a life level of 2 to 5, and the one who greeted us should have a life level close to level 8...... I also noticed some breath. The revealed powerhouse has about 16 levels of life energy. However, there should be no legendary powerhouses......"
"But their number is at least three thousand, and they have powerful weapons, and their combat effectiveness cannot be fully measured by life energy levels. All in all, it's definitely a force to be feared for. No wonder the rebels in the city of Chamuel suffered heavy losses......"
"They don't have legends, they lack high-end power, isn't that what we're here for? If we can reach a cooperation agreement with them, we can sweep away the rebellion as soon as possible. ”
"Don't say it, it's already ......" The female Drow led by the telepathy stopped the psychic communication of her companions in the psychic connection.
Walking to a building, the second lieutenant turned around and smiled: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is our reception hall, and our chief is already waiting for you......
"That's what we're looking forward to......," said the female drow.
At this time, the door opened, and several officers walked out, and Wang Xiaoxin was also inside.
The colonel at the head smiled and said, "Welcome, I am the commander of the No. 1 base on Qihang Island, Colonel Commander, my surname is Xia, you can call me Commander Xia, or Colonel Xia can ......"
Xia Mingrong stretched out his hand, without the slightest concealment, and the spiritual pressure of the six grades of Jindan Dacheng was completely emanated.
Drow's eyes flashed, and their hearts moved. At least 15 health levels!
So they put their right hand on their left shoulder, bowed in unison, and the leader said, "Your Excellency, it is a great honor to meet you, my name is Kebril. He is affiliated with the Huiyue Alliance and currently serves as a second-level diplomat of the Alliance...... They are my assistants and companions, Inowenti, Delia, Trist, Charonte, Siranjos, ......"
She introduced her companions.
"Everyone, please come in, what is there to talk about...... Xia Mingrong invited very warmly.
"Disturbed ......"
Once inside, a long conference table sits opposite each other.
"I don't know what kind of drink you drink, tea, coffee or juice ......"
These drinks are also available in the world, and the corresponding nouns do not need to be explained. This was also known in advance from the captive's memory, and the drow had different tastes and asked for different drinks.
After the drinks were served, the two sides exchanged pleasantries.
Kebril looked at the furnishings and utensils in the room, then tasted the tea, looked at the teacup carefully, and said, "Your Excellency, are you from another world......
Xia Mingrong nodded very frankly: "Miss Cabriel, you are right, we are indeed from another world......
There is nothing to hide about this kind of thing, there are so many people and so many things here in Great Xia, how can it be possible to hide their origins? They are not uneducated barbarians, looking at so many out-of-place styles, as long as they pass the IQ, they can think of it.
Moreover, there are many visitors from other worlds in this world, and Great Xia is not the first, nor is it the last. Even these drows are strictly from another world, but they've been here for a long time.
The drows showed no surprise at all, and their expressions were "I knew it was so" rather than "how could it be".
“...... Well, it's a completely different style from the local humans, you have a very splendid culture, and a very high aesthetic cultivation......" Kebril looked at the bone china teacup in his hand with admiration.
Xia Mingrong also saw the Zhuoer's preference for artworks, so he smiled and said: "Hahaha, our Daxia nation is a nation with thousands of years of civilization, and we still have some experience in art......
He also praised his preparation, and in order to deter the other party, the details of this meeting were drawn up by a number of experts, who referred to the customs and habits of Drow that they had learned from the captives. Not only the content of the conversation, but also the furniture and supplies of the entire conference room are all boutiques with the classical style of Daxia.
The two sides exchanged pleasantries over drinks for a while, and then began to get to the point.
Xia Mingrong said: "Miss Kebril, not long ago, you sent a message saying that you want to talk to us about cooperation. You know, we're at war with the city-state of Shamuel, ......."
"That's exactly what comes for you. Kebril smiled, "Chamuel City is a rebel among us, and we are really ready to purge these depraved guys, so we can cooperate militarily first." Eradicate this common enemy......"
"Rebellious?" Xia Mingrong and the others looked at each other, this answer was a bit beyond the expectations of Great Xia.
"I'm sorry, Miss Cabril, we just came to this world and don't know your relationship very well, can you elaborate on it?"
Kebril stood up, took out a silver holy emblem, and said with a serious expression, "Of course, this is what I want to say. First of all, allow me to introduce our Savior and Mother Goddess, Her Majesty Elise, Goddess of the Bright Moon and Queen of Darkness, ......"
Then, under the astonished gaze of the humans, the drow beauty began to introduce their organization semi-scientifically, half-missionarily. Fortunately, she remembered that the main purpose of this time was not to proselytize, but to give a brief introduction to the doctrine and organization, and then to begin to introduce Drow and his relationship with each other.
About half an hour later, Xia Mingrong, who had listened to the other party's introduction, asked: "So, you Zhuoer are now divided into several forces? You are one of them, and the city-state of Shamur, which is hostile to us, belongs to the forces that believe in the Spider Empress......" He wrote down in his notebook casually, "The political structure is biased towards the integration of politics and religion."
