There was a faint smell of sulfur in the air.

The environment in the dark areas is harsh, and in some places there are even underground volcanoes that can erupt at any time, especially after the city close to the gray dwarves, the faint smell of sulfur is even more obvious. The Grey Dwarves have inherited the Dwarven tradition, preferring to build cities near volcanoes, or simply digging underground to lure out the lava. In terms of forging skills, the Grey Dwarves are far more skilled than the Surface Dwarves, as it is common to encounter master blacksmiths who can forge +3 and +4 weapons.

However, it is a pity that the weapons in the dark region are made of special materials, and many of them have to be turned into a pile of scrap metal when they are brought to the surface world.

The grey dwarves are the best source of slaves in the Dark Regions, having been ruled by the Mind Flayer for a long time. Although they are now free from the control of the Mind Flayer, there are still a large number of captured gray dwarf slaves in the city of the Drow Elves. Servility is deeply ingrained in this race, and even if they break free from the control of the Mind Snatcher, they are still regarded as a source of slavery by many creatures. The number of grey dwarf slaves in a drow city can be as high as one-tenth of one-tenth of the total population.

The light dimmed again.

Sauron's ears heard the sound of water flowing like a spring, and through a towering stone forest, a white mist appeared before their eyes.

This place Sauron remembers.

Although the environment of the dark region is very harsh, [but there is also a good thing!]

Hot spring.

In fact, there are many hot springs that can be developed in the dark area, and the one in front of you is the largest open-air sulfur hot spring in the vicinity. The drow elves are intrigues, the gray dwarves are full of iron bumps, and the mainstream races of the Dark Lands don't seem to realize the value of hot springs. In the end, it was simply developed by a team of adventurers from the surface world to turn this place into a gathering place for rest and entertainment to explore the dark regions.

"The water here seems to be good!"

Lori Long closed his eyes and sniffed it, as if he liked the smell of sulfur a little, and the temperature of the spring water was actually quite high. It's about fifty degrees, but it's something that a dragon can ignore. Little Lori reached out and took a sip of the spring water, then turned around and looked at Sauron with wide eyes, and said, "Sauron! Can I take a shower here? ”

There is no sun in the dark lands.

So it's easy to get lost in time, and many cities in dark areas have a light source, which is actually some kind of illuminating obelisk. Sauron roughly calculated the time of his journey, then nodded lightly, "We'll rest here for an hour, I'll go prepare some food." ”

With that, he raised his foot and kicked the gray dwarf next to him.

The gray dwarf followed in fear, and waited until he found an open field. Sauron turned to look at him and said in a deep voice, "Is the fire in Glex City still lit?" ”

Fire?

The gray dwarf's expression was a little dazed, but he quickly nodded and said, "The fire in Glex City has never been extinguished. ”

Is it still on?

Sauron pondered when he heard this, then nodded and said, "Go and set up a campfire and prepare food yourself, I don't think you should be stupid enough to want to escape, right?" ”

The gray dwarf nodded hurriedly.

Sauron glanced at him, and casually threw a fire breaker over to get some of the dried meat out.

"The fire in Glais City hasn't been extinguished yet!"

Sauron sat down as if thinking about something, and muttered, "That means the artifact isn't finished yet!" The grey dwarves don't know how long it will be before they can build it. But it should be before the Sage Havoc begins, right? ”

Sauron thought about his own business.

After about a while, Lori Dragon's light figure walked from behind.

"It's so comfortable! ……”

Lori Long arranged her long pale blonde hair with her white little hands and tied it into a pair of beautiful double ponytails. Then he looked at Sauron with big eyes and said, "Aren't you going to wash?" The water below is so comfortable! The whole person is lazy when he soaks in it. ”

Sauron shook his head slightly.

The group stayed where they were for a moment, then continued on their way to their destination.

Before leaving, Sauron couldn't help but look at the city of Glex, a city of gray dwarves with an artifact inside.

Or rather, an artifact that is making zuò.

It was about a decade ago. The city's Grey Dwarves have discovered a vein of Mithril in significant storage while mining minerals. This is a staggering fortune, and if it leaks out, it could even lead to a frenzied attack by the Drow Elves. Therefore, the ruler of Glex City, [Graybeard], blocked the news for a while, and restrained all the gray dwarf craftsmen who knew the truth from leaving. Since then, the furnace of Glex City has never been extinguished, and Greybeard is forging a powerful piece of equipment from these Mithril ores.

Because he was once enslaved by the Mind Flayer. As a result, many gray dwarves passively have some psychic ability.

Graybeard is the best of all the gray dwarves!

Not only is he a Legendary-level Psionic Warlock (Class Level 21), but he is also a Level-5 Berserker and a Level-5 Wizard at the same time.

Graybeard's zuò is a piece of Mithril chain mail.

One piece would not affect his spell casting battle in the slightest, and each ring was imprinted with runes. All of the artifact-level armor burned by his own hands.

The specific properties of this artifact, Sauron, were not very clear.

However, he knew that the protective ability of this artifact-level Mithril chain mail was equivalent to +3 for the whole body plate armor, and the entire Mithril chain mail was all engraved with runes, in addition to its powerful protective ability, it was also attached to a lot of powerful spells. On top of that, the Mithril Chain Mail is as light as a feather and doesn't interfere with the caster's combat in the slightest, making it easy for even wizards to wear. This is also the reason why it is not forged by gods, but it has reached the level of an artifact.

Graybeard is not easy to deal with.

What's even more troublesome is that he is also the ruler of Glex City, and he is also a powerful legendary professional, so even if Sauron has some plans for this artifact-level armor, he doesn't have a clear idea.

However, it should be some time before the artifact is completed.

Sauron felt that if he could enter the realm of gods, he might not have a chance to get his hands on this artifact-level armor. As a wanderer's part-time wizard, it was not easy for Sauron to find a piece of armor that he could use. Graybeard may not be one of the strongest figures in the Dark Regions, but he seems to be the only one in the entire Dark Regions who can forge magic equipment and alchemy at the same time to reach more than 400 points.

Getting closer to his destination, Sauron finally saw the outline of an altar after solving some minor troubles.

It's very dilapidated.

However, there are still powerful energy fluctuations left around it.

One last elemental hedron!

Sauron's expression couldn't help but be slightly excited, and at the same time he turned to look at the Lori Dragon next to him.
