Chapter 47: The Drow Poet

At this point, the battle in the depths of the sewers has been decided.

Trolls are extremely tenacious, but the unresistible severed limbs of a land can't stop the victorious adventuring party from disposing of them next, and the sour tooth crossbow in Groeldon's hand is like a butcher's knife in the executioner's hand.

The old thief took a moment to break free from the cobwebs, and with the help of the strong acid damage attached to the sour fangs, he killed the monsters who fell to the ground and struggled like salted fish one by one, and the five normal trolls each gave the young man with the game system a kill bonus of 390 idle XP, while Govdor had 800 kill experience, which was about twice as much as a normal troll.

After the battle, Thea used a small healing technique and the bandage she carried with her to treat and bandage the scratch on Urs's shoulder, then turned around and politely bowed to the black-robed poet beside her, "Thank you, friend, for your timely help to us. ”

The black-robed poetess listened to her words calmly, her gaze under the hood seemed unmoved, and after a while, she looked sideways at the young man who had been bandaged on her shoulder: "You are the leader of this team?" ”

Her voice was audible to that of a woman, but it was very hoarse, as if her throat had been badly burned by red-hot coals.

Urs lightly pressed the wound on his shoulder, temporarily holding the cursed blade in one hand, and turned to look at her, "I am the leader of this team...... Who are you? ”

"Jay." The black-robed woman replied in a dumb voice, "It's not my real name, but I allow others to call me that." ”

As the words fell, under the gaze of the three of them, she withdrew the scimitar in her left hand into the sheath at her waist, raised her hand and pulled down the hood on her head, revealing the white hair of her shawl, dark purple eyes, pointed ears and a beautiful face from under the hood of the black robe.

But the complexion is dark.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Drow. Gloryden held the crossbow in his hand, his gray eyes confirming that he had seen nothing wrong.

The old thief was stunned, and then subconsciously re-alerted his heart.

After seeing her like this, Urs knew in his heart that the other party had indeed reached out to help his group not long ago, but for a while, he didn't dare to take her lightly because he remembered some encounters in his previous life.

Because the reputation of "Drow", aka "Dark Elves", is almost synonymous with evil in the surface world.

These dark-skinned elves were banished from the forest by other elves on the surface in the distant past due to their unclean beliefs, and after countless days and nights of wandering around the surface, they finally settled in an underground world far from the surface, establishing a new home in the depths of the earth called the Dark Regions, and abandoning the old system of government in which an elven king ruled all elves, and instead led the people by a council composed of the heads of several powerful families in each city.

Almost all of Castano's current dark elves were born in the Dark Regions, and their families led them to believe in the spider goddess.

The teachings of the Spider Goddess allow and encourage them to use any effective means to fight for what they want. They worship the law of the jungle, are keen on the slave trade, and have a cruel way of dealing with the world, believing that murder without detection is not a crime, so that every dark elf family is often wary of other families in the same city, and it is normal for a powerful family to swallow up or wipe out other families after taking the throne.

The long-term underground life has successfully cultivated the inner viciousness of the vast majority of dark elves, resulting in their faction tendencies generally being chaotic evil and neutral evil.

Of course, the Dark Elves of the non-evil camp are not completely absent, but they are extremely rare cases.

The self-proclaimed drow poetess Drow seems to have seen through the minds of the three of them as expected. She moved the two dark purple pupils in her eye sockets, observing the faces of the young man, the young girl, and the old man, and the scimitar in her right hand kept the corresponding vigilance in case of accidents.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little inexplicably tense.

It wasn't until about ten seconds later that the crow's eyes fell on Thea with a look of pride, and her gaze swept disdainfully over the wolf's ears on the girl's head, and then asked her out loud, "Are you a priest?" ”

Thea half-opened her mouth and glanced sideways at Urs, a little bewildered, to see the black-haired young man give her affirmative gaze back.

So she settled down and nodded at the drow poetess in front of her.

Then I heard the other party immediately ask, "Good pastor?" ”

"Yes. I follow the teachings of the God of Justice. She admitted.

"Good." Hearing the girl's answer, the crow blinked in satisfaction, "Then use the evil of detecting evil on me." ”

"Huh?"

"What? The priest of the God of Justice can't even detect evil? ”

"Uh...... No, I'll do that. ”

Thea was stunned for a moment, and quickly waved her hand to explain, but she thought that this was the first time she had seen someone other than the paladin take the initiative to ask her to detect evil on her.

Detecting evil is only a 0-ring Trainee Priest Divine Skill in Castano's magic system, and it is a special ability for the Paladin itself.

Paladins and clerics of the good faction are usually able to detect evil, but the effect of this magic (or class ability) is extremely sensitive in human society, as it can cause all evil creatures around the cone in front of the caster to glow red.

For this kind of behavior, and not to mention the question of whether it is offensive or not, you only need to know that the lawyer with corrupt professional ethics, the businessman who smuggles contraband for profit, the guard who is loyal to orders and bullies the weak and fears the hard, the beggar who wants to survive, and the aristocratic officials who are superficially law-abiding and secretly corrupt...... These people of all kinds exist in all strata of society, and even in all corners of society, large and small.

These groups of people are not the whole of a city, but their camp tendencies generally have varying degrees of evil.

In the Golden Que Ying Empire, some aristocratic scholars with more extreme views therefore believed that some stunned Qingsheng warriors who were littered everywhere like wild dogs peeing to detect evil were actually a major danger that really hindered the national order.

Raven made this request to Thea, I don't know if it was because she was confident in her faction's tendencies, or if there was some other way to secretly mislead the detection results.

The wolf-eared priest girl read a sure look in her eyes, and understood that the other party was probably not joking, so she lifted the holy emblem in her hand and cast that magic spell.

The divine magical energy then diffused invisibly in the air in a cone-shaped rangeβ€”

Detection revealed that the jay's body did not glow with a red light that symbolized evil.

The black-robed Miss Poet snorted coldly, and her dark purple eyes glanced at the face of the old thief next to her: "Now, can you take that disgusting look away from me, Surface Man?" ”

Gloleden was silent.

Although he didn't doubt Thea's magic, common sense as a veteran adventurer warned him to be careful, and it would take a long time to get used to letting down his guard against a dark elf he had never met.

Urs looked at the crow, thought in his mind for a moment, and then asked her, "If you don't mind, can you tell us what you have planned?" ”

"For this quest you have received, there are three mortal enchantment scrolls in the additional quest rewards." "I ask to take two of them as a token of your appreciation for me, if you don't grant me another request." ”

"And what's your other request?"

The young man then asked her, not in a hurry to agree to her request for a share of the quest's rewards.

Mortal enchantment scrolls can be equipped with +1 enchantment level on the whiteboard by the hands of the mage craftsman, and this kind of scroll is worth about 100 gold coins each in the auction house, but he already has a +3 enchanted cursed blade in his hand, and the old leather armor and broken cloak on his body will have to be replaced sooner or later, so it is not reluctant to give up two enchanted scrolls worth a total of 200 gold coins, but intends to ask things clearly before considering it.

After all, the dark-skinned poet lady was very timely in the battle just now, but if the other party tried to ask for more, as the team leader, he naturally had to weigh the benefits and losses of his team in this adventurous mission.

It's not a question of being selfish or not.

It's just that the next words of the crow once again surprised the young man's expectations.

She continued, "Another request is for me to join your adventure party. ”

And the look on his face didn't look like he was joking or prank.

Suddenly, Urs and Gloledon frowned in unison, and Thea couldn't help but kindly persuade her: "That, Miss Raven, in fact, we ......"

"I know there are only three of you." Raven interrupted Thea's advice, "So you need my strength, don't you, surface people?" Your ranks are severely short of men and have no mages, and as a bard, I can effectively fill these gaps in your ranks, and the battle has proven me. ”

"But why did you pick us out?" After a moment of contemplation, the adventurous veteran Gloledon looked at her and asked the key point.

"Because during the day, I'm also in the lobby on the first floor of the Adventurers' Guild." Raven Bird smiled coldly, "The red-headed leader of that Red Scorpion Adventure Group made him very unpleasant to me, and I appreciate what you did at that time. ”

"It's as simple as that?" The old thief couldn't help but be suspicious.

"Believe it or not...... Of course, if you really have the ability to refuse my joining, then please do it, anyway, I don't lack a family. ”

After saying that, she simply didn't say anything more, just clasped her hands and stared into Urs's eyes, waiting for the latter's answer.

Urs slanted the black greatsword in his hand and stood silently in place to meet her.

Due to his previous relationship as a player, he didn't have any racial discrimination when choosing teammates, but he was extremely suspicious of the reason given by the crow, and obviously felt that this poet lady who was capable of casting 2-ring spells and returning the sword skills would not come to him because of such a simple impulse.

He hinted that he had calmed down and thought about it.
