But of course, Urs doesn't have the ability to spy on the minds of creatures, and Abel, who is currently the strongest spell-casting in the Thorn Squad, doesn't have it for the time being, so whether the underground gnome named Moredi is lying or not, everyone doesn't know.

The young man only understood that the means of negotiation below the surface were fundamentally different from the way of doing things above the surface, and that the rules of the underground world could be summed up in one word in the depths of his memory:

Strength!

Power is hegemony, and there is no justice under hegemony.

The Dark Elves have established their hegemony in the Dark Regions for a long time, so the Dark Elves have enslaved most of the underground dwellers who dare to step within their hegemony, whether they are underground gnomes, gray dwarves or other intelligent creatures, and the little reassurance of these evil elves is probably only their chaotic and evil nature, and the political system they have chosen, which makes it difficult for them to unify the independent underground elf cities into a whole kingdom.

Unless there is a mysterious figure like Erdon in the Dark Regions - the undead tribe in the depths of the Northland Snow Plains has actually had similarities with the dark elves in the past history, especially the three powerful forces represented by the Black Knight Duchy in the Mourning Hill, the vampire clan of the Blood Moon Castle, and the ghoul legion in the Decay Valley.

It's just that all the dead are now united by the mysterious zombie king into a whole called Byron Tas, a layer of dark clouds that shroud beyond the northern territory of the Golden Oriole Empire.

The Raven is a dark elf, and Moretti is forced to express her awe for her, whether voluntarily or forced, and naturally does not dare to slack off on Urs and Thea, who travel with her.

So Moretti heard Urs's questioning and struggled to control the bad tongue in his mouth and explained: "I'm talking about... It's true! ”

"But we can still not believe you." Raven sneered, and argued with him in turn, "Unless you prove, poor worm, that your high priest can really see the future, or let him come to us." Visible evidence is far more credible than any false claims. ”

"Then I could... Lead the way for you. Moretti hurriedly said, his small fists slowly clenched under the tattered cloth cloak, "You can... Follow me to the cliff... Visit our High Priest. ”

"What is the cliff?"

"A cliff is a cliff... A place name... It can be done from the hive maze... To the depths of the earth... Dark Regions. ”

"Something to do with your city?"

"Our city... The city of Palomitte... Built on the edge of a cliff... I can take you to... Trust me. ”

As he spoke, he adjusted his sitting position, and knelt down in the direction of the crow, his dark eyes looking up at Miss Poet's condescending dark purple eyes, and his humble head bowed deeply.

until his forehead touched the ground.

There is no pride, no dignity, only surrender that is expressed under such an act.

"......" Thea finally couldn't bear to look at him like this, and her amber eyes glanced at Miss Poet softly.

Urs, of course, knew what Thea was thinking, but he needed to think more for his companions, so even though he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the little dwarf named Moredi, he still didn't say a word, and acquiesced to the haughty poet lady to carry on the negotiation process beneath the surface in her own way.

Typical drow-style negotiations.

Hearing the wolf-eared girl's soft "pleading", the crow bird thought about it with her hands, and then slightly restrained the arrogance that seemed to be the innate arrogance of the Drow race, and dispelled the evil taste of raising one foot and stepping on the sole of the leather boot on Moredi's head from her mind, and said as it was:

"We trust your abilities, but we still doubt your intentions, and similar traps are not uncommon deep underground."

"I'm afraid of death... You can kill me at any time... So I don't dare lie to you. ”

Moretti bowed his head, his eyes covered with a gray black eyeball, and although he could no longer see the appearance of Miss Poet, his tone of reply was fearful except for the deliberate pause in which he tried to overcome his stammering.

"Please... Believe me! ”

When he had finished answering, he knelt like that, silently awaiting an answer from the crowd.

The raven felt that the question was almost complete, and immediately turned his gaze to Urs, meaning that it was time for the leader of the team to make a judgment based on the information at hand.

Urs looked at Moretti and thought quietly for a long time......

Eventually, the young man chose to put his faith in the underground dwarf for the time being, and as the captain, he ordered the group to lead the way on behalf of the group, while not forgetting to warn him a few more words and tell him not to try to play any dastardly tricks.

You must know that underground gnomes are not as evil to the bone as most gray dwarves and dark elves, but they are not necessarily good, so don't think that they will not do anything bad against their hearts when they are threatened by slave owners.

For example, enthusiastically lead explorers from the surface into an underground tunnel where murderous machines are hidden, wait for the monsters that have been ambushed in advance to kill the victims, and then collect the victims' relics and hand them over to the slave owners.

Thus an unknown bard wrote in his diary before his death: "Never take the virtues of a knight to pity a bastard who has never seen the sun!" ”

"It's like a toddler who can't bear to kill a goblin when you put down your long sword in your hand, but the little goblin's brain thinks about how to hit you in the back of the head when you turn around!"

"Poor things have something to hate, they never deserve sympathy!"

The minstrour's journal was left somewhere in the Dark Regions, and was said to be an item related to a side quest chain.

When Urs led the team to follow Moretti, who was leading the way, he suddenly remembered this rumor that he knew in his previous life, but fortunately, Moretti didn't seem to play any tricks under the close watchful eye of everyone, and the only noteworthy thing along the way was that this humble underground dwarf led everyone into a tunnel path with dark curtain monsters at the top of the rock wall.

After successfully passing through the tunnel path that was slightly a safety hazard, everyone finally saw the "cliff" mentioned in Moretti's words through the dark vision in their own eyes.

A veritable place, located in a huge cavern of underground space, the terrain looks like a broken plain, half of the sunken falls into the silent depths of the earth and disappears, the other half is like a cliff of the mountain, and the shadow outline of a city looms on the edge of the cliff in the distance.
