Chapter 53: Waterdeep

Charlie opened his eyes in a daze, and what he saw was not the nest he was familiar with, and the pillow was not a fluffy feather pillow......

When I woke up, I remembered that I was in a camping tent.

Turning over, Charlie realized that what he regarded as a pillow turned out to be the small belly of His Royal Highness's young black dragon form.

The belly of the baby dragon is soft, unlike an adult dragon, and it may not be able to get a scratch when slashed with the legendary giant sword.

In other words, the hard outer skin of an adult dragon's abdomen is also a top material for inner armor.

It's really unthinkable, how did such a soft little belly when the young dragon reached adulthood become an excellent armor material that is hard to find?

Thinking about it, Charlie's finger poked His Highness in the stomach.

His Royal Highness, who had already woken up and closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, could no longer pretend to be asleep, raised his head, and stared at Charlie with golden eyes.

Charlie's fingers froze, and he turned around and smiled very naturally, as if he was not the one who had just studied others as equipment materials.

"Your Highness, good morning~"

Alfonstantin was a little suspicious, he did feel malicious just now, but in the face of Charlie's bright smile at this time, he could only turn over and stand up and walk out of the tent.

Charlie's snacks for Artemisia had already been wiped out.

Princess Silver's eyes brightened when she saw Charlie come out.

Charlie began to rummage through the storage ring for toiletries, and Artemisia leaned over, looking at Charlie with her big sapphire blue eyes wide open without speaking.

Charlie: "......"

After washing up, Charlie began to prepare breakfast for three.

Milk oatmeal, baked bacon, but also butter, bread.

While eating breakfast, Charlie researched where to find Scotte.

"By the way, are the drow elves also scattered people? Just like the goblins, filling the 'headquarters' with dungeons is actually about breaking them into pieces to prevent them from being destroyed by other hostile forces. ”

It would be a bit inaccurate to say that it is a 'hostile force', as the world's biggest profiteers, the little greenskins are the enemy of the whole world, whether on the surface or underground.

Artemisia was also a little speechless at this time.

If His Highness didn't follow her, it would be strange that this half-blooded drow elf could be found.

"Drow Elf...... It's a believer in the spider queen. There was something in Artemisia's words.

Since the last time the Seven Demon Kings ran to Bella to 'smash the field', and finally developed into the gods shutting down the door and beating the dogs, Charlie later inquired about the stories that were not recorded in the epic through the goblins.

For example, the Demon King once wore a green hat to the main god of the elves.

The original elven god queen was punished by the annoyed and angry main god Ke Ruilong, and directly became the spider queen Rose, who is now a half-spider and half-dark elf.

The dark elves also poured blood mold for eight lifetimes.

As believers in the Elven Queen at that time, most of the dark elves were also exiled to the dungeon by the main god Corellon because of their belief in the god queen who 'committed a crime'.

Coupled with the crazy demagogy of Queen Rose, the reputation of the drow elves in the dungeon ......

Of course, there are also dark elves who are not degenerate, such as the few dark elves who believe in Elisestere.

It's a pity that fate is on the same line with those poor elves, Elise Emerald has fallen, and I don't know what happened to those dark elves now.

Charlie had read many books that belittled the drows.

Mostly, the gods they believe in are crazy.

The spider queen likes her own sacrifices to kill each other, and the final winner will step on the blood of the loser to please her.

The drow elves are matriarchal societies, and if a woman from a large family wants to become the head mother, then she must fight to the end according to the will of the spider queen and become the only victor in order to succeed to the position of the head mother of the family.

Charlie met Scotch first, and to be honest, it was precisely because she knew Scott, who was very difficult to talk in the ideal country at first, that she maintained a certain suspicion of these records of Drow.

I feel that this is not the elven god behind the smear of the drow elves.

"Drow's mothers are all connected." Artemisia said.

"Find a nearby dungeon first." , His Highness proposed.

In the slightly more prosperous dungeons, there will definitely be traces of drow elves.

When the time comes, it will not be a problem to find the cities that belong to the Drow's sphere of influence, first find the Drow, and then find Scotch.

Plan pass.

After packing up the camp, Charlie and his party went on the road full of energy.

At this time, the advantages of the immortal species are reflected, the world is so big, even in the dangerous underground world, they have also traveled.

Alfonstantin's memory shows where several dungeons are located.

If they had traveled south from where they were, at Charlie's 'flashing' pace throughout the day, they would have been there in three days.

His Highness's 'horror story strategy' every night didn't work.

Charlie ate a trench and grew wise, and then talked about the topic of popping, she didn't sleep in the tent anymore, and directly dragged out the sleeping bag and guarded Artemisia to lay the floor.

Nothing reassures her more than sleeping on her thighs of subordination.

With the taciturn silver dragon girl, and His Royal Highness who was quite unhappy because of the failure of the plan, Charlie did not deviate in the general direction, and finally saw a main city at noon three days later.

"Finally see the city! This road is sparsely populated and too barren. Charlie was a little excited because he saw the city.

Artemisia: "......"

Along the way, many guys who coveted the young black dragon were secretly solved by her.

This is not to say that Charlie's legend has water, after all, Artemisia is a true god.

Under the perception of her powerful divine network, there is nowhere to hide from any wind and grass within a radius of a hundred miles.

Obviously, such overprotection was too boring for a new legendary arcanist.

In her imagination, the bandits were robbed in the way; The bandits collected protection money, but in the end, they gave away all their belongings; organized a group of fraudsters to pretend to be in their group, and was 'persuaded' by her robber logic to pay the tuition backhand......

Charlie didn't meet any of these good things, which obviously disappointed her a little.

No matter what Princess Silver Dragon thought when she made the move, but, judging from the results, she saved a lot of people.

“…… Waterdeep? "Look up the words engraved on the city.

"This city is the most famous and richest main city in the Underworld."

"You can get any message here for just spending gold."

Alfonstain said as he searched his memory.

Charlie: "Huh? It's amazing...... Sure enough, you're guarding the door with a Dragonborn! ”

"Well, because the lord of the city here is a dragon."

A very special dragon.

At this moment, the city lords and merchants of Deep Water City lined up in an orderly manner, all of them carrying a money bag in their hands.

Some money bags are very bulging, and some money bags are suffocating.

The team was moving slowly.

And at the very end of this procession is a throne made entirely of gold in the Lord's Palace.

On the throne sat a man smoking a hookah.

The man has black hair, a pair of pointed ears, pale skin, and vertical eyes.

The dragon's second elven form.

The dragon sitting here is named Sheran Rock, Lord of Waterdeep.

Even among the dragons, this city lord has a great personality, and his interest is only money.

Hobbies, money.

My favorite thing is money.

The most hated thing, the one who owes him money.

In short, he is a 'money, money' with his mouth open and closed, and no one in the dungeon can beat him.

Charlie walked to the gate of the city and was stopped by the Dragonborns defending the city.

The silver dragon princess restrained her momentum, and at this time she was wearing a silver-gray cloak, following Charlie inconspicuously.

Charlie was suddenly stopped and a little dazed.

The Dragonborn guarding the gates are like watching a herd of big fat sheep about to be slaughtered.

"Guys on the surface, you have to pay the entrance fee."

"How much?" Charlie asked eloquently.

The two dragonborns guarding the city looked at each other and said in unison:

"Fifty gold coins."

"One hundred gold coins!"

Charlie: "......"

At this time, no matter how stupid a person is, he knows that he seems to be treated as a big fat sheep.

Charlie glanced at them with a faint look, turned around and left without saying a word.

His Highness squinted slightly.

It's been a long time since I've been here, but it's still the same place that he hates.

I knew how many more days to go to another dungeon.

After Charlie ran away, he squatted down directly and found an empty cowhide pocket from the storage ring, which was the small pocket that contained snacks before.

Now the snacks inside have been drained by Artemisia, and only an empty pocket remains.

Charlie casually picked up the stone on the ground, and at the same time, the Ainstone above her head continued to glow purple.

What I picked up was a stone, and what I threw into my pocket was a shiny gold coin.

After loading two hundred in one go, Charlie smiled with satisfaction.

Scoundrel!

Let you kill me!

When Charlie returned to the city gate again, he did not forget to put away the Aine Stone above his head.

She smiled very innocently and handed over the bulging money bag, and the two dragonborns who were defending the city took it and let Charlie and his party into the city.

Artemisia stopped talking several times, and it was clear that the honest and kind Silver Dragon couldn't stand such 'fraud'.

If she wanted, she could conjure up a chunk of silver to pay for her entrance to the city.

"That's it! Finally come in, let's find a hotel to stay in, I want dead hot water! And soft beds! ”

And behind her, the two dragonborns who defended the city had already fought because of the uneven distribution of the spoils.

Charlie walked a certain distance, snapped his fingers, and a bag of gold coins instantly turned into a bag of stones.

And Charlie, who had already walked into this bustling dungeon, smiled and couldn't tell that she had just done something bad.

The hotel is easy to find, but Charlie will get a sky-high accommodation fee as long as he walks the road.

The most excessive one, obviously the sign behind the boss said that one silver coin was a night's accommodation fee, but as soon as he saw Charlie, the boss said ten gold coins a night.

As the city lord of Ideal Township, Charlie can naturally afford to pay for accommodation, but she is very angry when she is so blatantly hacked.

In the end, it was a passing dragonborn paladin who mentioned Charlie because of his belief in Bahamut and the creed of going out to do good deeds,

"Adventurers from the surface, you better go to the Adventurers' Guild and have a look, otherwise the other hotels will 'black' you."

Charlie is speechless, in the dungeon, is the person under the surface equivalent to the wronged?
