Chapter 1243: Entering the City
Brightris.
In the Dark Elf language, it means "City of a Thousand Spiders".
The city in the depths of the Gloomy Regions is far more eerie than its name suggests, and when you look inside from the Great Hollow, the most dazzling thing you can see is the bright red obsidian pillar at the top, which emits a faint dark red glow that barely illuminates the city.
In the city, you can faintly see a little dark purple flame, which is the demon fire of the dark elves, and it is also a symbol used to prove their identity and sphere of influence.
"Alright, everyone get ready, put on your cloak."
"Huh? Do I need to do this? β
Xiao Hei is obviously not very happy, she has always disliked wearing too much, especially this kind of clothes that wrap her whole body up and down, and she doesn't like it.
"In the Underworld, your weapons are strength and mystery, and only then can you effectively curb those who look at them with bad intentions. If you just walk into the city like this, no one knows what will happen. β
Fang Zheng explained lightly, and the gray dwarf next to him also took over.
"Your Excellency has a point, and you have to be careful, the dark elves in this city are very greedy, and if you are noticed by them, you may be captured."
"Arrested?"
Hearing this, Hu Tao looked at the gray dwarf curiously.
"What are you going to do with it?"
"Be a waiter."
"Uh......... Waiter??? β
"The Dark Elves are a matriarchal society."
Fang Zheng also sighed helplessly, and then explained carefully to the girls.
"In the world of the Dark Elves, women have the most powerful power and occupy the highest position, and for them, all other males and races are inferior creatures, including their own Dark Elf males. Well......... To put it simply, it's similar to the murderous lords in many stories who rob the people's daughters, but the gender is reversed. β
"Huh? And this kind of thing? β
Hearing this, Hu Tao was also dumbfounded, she had seen similar situations several times when she was a mercenary, and she would also draw a knife to help when she was uneven. But it's basically a man who robs a woman, and this woman robs a man......... It was the first time she had heard of it.
"Hey, hey, hey, you're cool now, big brother."
However, Xiao Hei came to Fang Zheng's side with a weird smile, stretched out his arm to push him, and then blinked.
"With your appearance, big brother, aren't those dark elf women going crazy to rob you? Why don't you fight, big brother, just rely on your face to get in, this is posted upside down, aren't you happy? β
"Hehe........."
In the face of Xiao Hei's joke, Fang Zheng sneered, and then he didn't say anything, silently took out his cloak and wrapped himself.
Next, the group dressed up as the caravan guards and once again came to the gate of the dark elf cityβββ which looked extremely beautiful and disgusting. Its door frame is carved with a huge, terrifying spider. Its eight legs spread out in this way, propped up on the ground as a door frame, and the spider-like gate blocked the way of the crowd. And above their heads, the spider's eyes and mouthparts are vividly displayed, as if the spider could come back to life at any time.
"This spider is the guardian of the city, and legend has it that the god gave them a gift to these dark elves, and it is also a symbol of the city's favor from the gods."
Glancing up at the huge spider statue in front of him, the gray dwarf lowered his voice and introduced it to everyone.
"Don't say anything disrespectful to this statue, and don't do anything disrespectful, or any dark elf can use this as a reason to kill you."
"Of course, I can understand."
Fang Zheng said as he tapped his fingers lightly. The next moment, I saw that behind them, the aliens hidden in the darkness quickly dispersed and disappeared into the shadows as if they had received some order.
"I'll leave it to you."
"Yes, sir."
Hearing Fangzheng's words, the gray dwarf nodded hurriedly, and then he walked to the gate on his short legs, then took out a badge from his bosom and waved it vigorously. The badge flashed on it, and then I saw a window open next to the door, and then a dark elf poked its head out and glanced in this direction.
He frowned at the sight of the gray dwarf.
"Is that you? Why are you back again? β
"Hahaha, something is wrong with my goods, and the employer wants to buy more Dark Grass ........."
The grey dwarf smiled awkwardly at the Dark Elven Guard's taunt, and the Dark Elf Guard frowned at his answer.
"Okay, come in, but I don't guarantee you'll get out alive."
"Of course, I understand, I understand........."
"Boom Rumble ........."
Soon, a crack opened in the stone door, and the gray dwarf walked in with his caravan, Fang Zheng and the others.
It was clear that the gray dwarf was not the first time he had come to the city, he just whispered a few words to the dark elf guards, and then took out a small "toll" before they were allowed to enter the city. However, for Fang Zheng and the others, the temper of this dark elf guard was obviously not very good.
"You only have one day, outsider."
The Dark Elf Guard stared viciously at the gray dwarf in front of him and Fang Zheng next to him, he was only about one meter five tall, wearing black armor, and a long sword and crossbow at his waist. Although it is not nice to say, the men of the dark elves look like the African refugees that Fang Zheng once saw on TV, with his limbs and dark skin, and their faces look more like those of jackals, and with their long silver-white hair, they look quite uglyβββ at least in terms of the aesthetics of the surface world.
"You can stay in the exempt zone for a while, but you can't leave, and if you don't leave after a day, when the next obsidian light rises to the top, then you'll be our slaves! Do you understand?! β
"Yes, I understand, I understand........."
Hearing the warning of the dark elf guard, the gray dwarf nodded hurriedly, and then pulled the earth beast to leave, but at this moment, suddenly, a low trembling sound came.
"Boom! Rumble! β
It was like the sound of something like an elephant walking, and hearing this sound made both the gray dwarf and the dark elf guard suddenly change their complexions.
"That's it, you guys hurry up and go to the exempt area!"
With these words in a hurry, the Dark Elf guard returned to the tower and slammed the door shut.
"What's the situation?"
Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at the gray dwarf, who smiled awkwardly.
"My lord, please be careful, let's hide here for ......... first"
As he spoke, the gray dwarf guided the earth beasts to hide in an alley not far away, and then quietly looked out, and after a while, the gray dwarf's face changed slightly, and the other party was waiting for someone to make a gesture.
"It's coming, hide it carefully!"
Here it comes? What's coming?
Just when Fang Zheng and his party were inexplicable, they soon saw a huge shadow coming from the other side of the street.
It was a giant spider.
It is more than two meters tall, and the front half is in the shape of an ordinary spider, but the back half of what should be a bulging belly is a human being.
A human woman.
A fat human woman, to be exact.
She looked like a mountain of meat, connected to the front half of the spider's body from the waist down, and layers of fat above the waist, and at this moment the human Roshan girl's surface was full of spider appearances, her eyes wide open, looking around like a hound, and at the same time her mouth let out a low, indistinct roar.
After a few moments, the strange thing faded away from the end of the street.
"Whew......... What the hell is that, it's disgusting........."
At this time, Hu Tao breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest, looking unbearable to look at it.
"I heard it was a human who was once captured from the ground by the Dark Elves."
The gray dwarf also wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and whispered.
"It is rumored that she offended the spider goddess, so she became like this, this guy is a psychopath, kill outsiders when he sees them, it's better not to contact her."
"yes............"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng nodded.
It's better to stay away from this kind of thingβββ than this.
