When Adam and Andrew appeared outside the city gates the next day, Martin was already waiting there with his men. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
According to Adam's idea, the best way for this mission is for him and Andrew to go to the underworld together, and Martin can stay in the city and wait for news. However, according to the mandate, Martin must also go to the Underworld, not necessarily in person, but he must go to the Underworld.
Adam felt that this was the key, and that a chubby businessman who didn't know anything was definitely a liability.
Probably because Adam's disgusted eyes were too obvious, Martin defended himself dissatisfiedly: "Lord Lord, I don't want to. If I could, I would prefer to stay in the hotel and sleep comfortably and wait for your good news. ”
"It's a pity that the Buffetson Business Alliance obviously won't let this happen, and as a mission applicant, I must go to the Underworld together. But you don't have to worry about me, I hired someone to protect me. ”
Speaking of this, Martin pointed to a warrior standing not far behind him and said, "Spencer, an experienced adventurer with the strength of the Silver Beginner Rank, is responsible for keeping me safe in this mission. ”
It was a tall man, about half a head taller than Andrew. Wearing an ordinary leather armor and carrying a large sword on his back, he looks very honest, and it is no wonder that Martin will fool him into participating in this mission.
This mission was not an easy one, their goal was to hunt down a silver-rank dark elf. In addition, the dark region of the underworld is the lair of the dark elves, and the danger is definitely not small.
Adam remembered that the last time Martin was tasked with hunting a Bloodline in the Ash Forest, only Martin and Peping survived.
If you want to kill a silver-rank bloodline, you have to have other silver professionals to make a move, so where did the silver professional hired by Martin go, the result is self-evident.
For a moment, Adam didn't know whether to admire Martin's ability to fool or sympathize with this honest warrior.
"Hello, just call me Spencer." For some reason, Spencer felt that the Lord of the Merchant Martin's mouth looked at him strangely.
After a brief greeting, Adam asked Martin, "Are you all here?" When to go? ”
Now there are five people here: Adam, Andrew, Martin, Pepin, and Spencer.
"No, no, my lord. In fact, there are two more who haven't come, so wait a minute, and lo and behold, they're coming. ”
Is there anyone else? It seems that Martin is imperative on this mission.
Adam was not dissatisfied with Martin inviting others to the mission, on the contrary, the more people there were, the stronger they became, which was also a good thing for Adam.
This time came a knight and a warrior, the knight was a young man in his twenties, bronze rank, dressed in fine armor, and short maroon hair, and Adam felt that the other party had been watching him, which made him a little baffled.
Behind the knight was a middle-aged warrior with a scar on the left side of his face, and his momentum was a little higher than that of Spencer, probably the appearance of a silver mid-rank.
"My lord, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Woods, and this is Ben." Martin pointed to the young knight and the middle-aged warrior and said to Adam.
"I know you, Adam." Young Knight Woods stretched out his right hand, "Stay away from Bella." ”
Who is this neuropath?
Adam didn't calm down for a while, and even Martin looked at the two of them in surprise that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and he seemed to have hired an adventurer who was not in harmony with the lord.
Wait, what did he just say? A little away from Bella.
Like Bella, plus the royal surname of Woods, and the protection of the silver warrior who followed him, Martin immediately guessed the identity of this young man named Woods.
He was so stupid, how could he hire them for this mission.
Before he wanted to dismiss the young knight and the middle-aged warrior, Adam spoke.
"It turned out to be you, then I will return the original words to you: stay away from Bella." Adam grasped the outstretched hand, and there was an immediate pain in his hand.
As a knight, Prince does have an advantage when shaking hands, at least with a lot of strength.
Adam didn't have any reaction on his face, in fact, he had already scolded the eldest prince of the Sok Kingdom in his heart.
A knight took advantage of the handshake to bully a mage, and Adam felt like he was about to explode.
The moment the handshake ended, Adam had to secretly give himself a healing spell to relieve and eliminate the pain.
"It's an honor to meet you, Your Highness Prince." Andrew smiled mildly and kindly and held out his right hand.
Although he knew that the knight in front of him who wanted to shake his hand was Adam's person, the other party did not exude any hostility, and it would be too rude to decide directly.
Prince hesitated for a second, and finally took Andrew's hand perfunctorily.
Standing behind Prince, it was too late to stop him.
The next moment, Prince knew what pain was, and the power of the Silver Paladin could not be underestimated at all.
The first round hit Adam, a tie.
Looking at the few people who were secretly doing it, Martin wailed in his heart.
Sure enough, nothing good, the last time I was delayed in Midland for a day, I was attacked by the Sea Clan and demons descended. Now it's delayed for a day, directly because the beautiful Bella offended the eldest prince of the Oak Kingdom, Prince. Could it be that this is really fate?
Spencer on the side also felt that the atmosphere was weird, is it really no problem for such a team to go to the underworld?
***
"We're heading to the Green Cloak Forest, where there's a passage to the underworld. It is there that we will officially enter the Underworld. Martin tells Adam about where they are going.
The Underworld is located underground, and it is not accessible anywhere normally, so you need to find a special entrance to reach the Underworld safely and smoothly.
No matter what country you are in, every passage to the underworld will be closely guarded by the major powers.
It is not only to prevent other races from the underworld from running to the surface world to attack humans, but also to obtain resources.
Yes, adventurers and merchants have to pay a fee each time they travel to the Underworld through these passages. Of course, if your strength is high enough, you can ignore this rule.
Located at the junction of Sok and Frans, the Green Cloak Forest is a gateway to the underworld that is not in the hands of any military force of the two countries, but in the hands of a group of adventurers.
"What's the specific mission statement?"
Martin took out his mission book and said, "Iris City, our target is the head of any silver-rank dark elf in Iris City. ”
The Dark Elves, rulers of the first dark region of the underworld.
"Iris City, what level of city is it?" Prince was also secretly using his vindictive spirit to relieve the pain in his right hand.
"The main city."
"What do you mean?" Adam was baffled by the conversation between Martin and Prince, but how could he expose the fact that he lacked common sense in front of Prince at this time. hurriedly made a color to Peping, and the other party really understood what Adam meant.
Pepin had to pretend not to know the meaning of the question.
Martin smiled a little stiffly: "This is the city hierarchy in the dark elf clan, tribe, city, main city, the higher the level, the more masters in the city, the stronger the strength." The main city is the highest-ranking city among the Dark Elves, and if nothing else, there will be Gold-rank Dark Elves in charge. ”
"The difficulty level is quite high." Adam said.
He had already seen the strength of the Golden Rank, the bone dragon in the Damans Valley, the Archdemon of Midland, and the cardinal archbishop were all great masters who could easily destroy a city.
Fortunately, their target is only a silver-rank dark elf, and they don't necessarily have to go to the main city to hunt and kill, they will also go out of the city.
"If I'm not mistaken, there are ten main cities in the dark elves, all named after flowers, which has something to do with their elven nature." Prince thought for a moment and said, "There will definitely be a gold-rank high priest in the main city, and as for whether the master mother is a gold-rank or not, it depends on the situation." ”
Although the dark elves have the word elf on their name, and their appearance is indeed closely related to words such as beautiful and handsome, in terms of habits, they are definitely a dark race. They are cunning, greedy, wicked, and will do whatever it takes to achieve their ends.
They believe in spiders and goddesses of death, and almost every dark elf is a natural believer. Temples of spiders and deaths are built in every city, and the high priest is the head of the temple in the main city.
The one who can obtain the name of the high priest must be the golden rank.
As for the mistress, this is the nominal ruler of a city, usually held by the patriarch of the most powerful family.
That's right, the Dark Elves are a matriarchal society where women are inferior to men, and both high priests and matrimonials are women.
Like the Naga, in the Dark Elf race, women are more likely to have extraordinary talents in spells, while only a few men are able to acquire magical talents.
In some extreme dark elf cities, male dark elves have no rights, and their social status is similar to that of slaves, which is very miserable.
In addition to the inferiority of women and men, the Dark Elves are also very famous for their penchant for infighting.
This tradition is said to have originated with their belief in the goddess of spiders and death, who stipulated that only ten main cities could exist in the Dark Elf race, and that the High Priest and Mother of each of them could receive her rewards.
This was the beginning of the infighting among the Dark Elves.
In order to compete for the name of the limited main city, the Dark Elves will launch a battle whenever they find an opportunity. Even if there are no ready-made opportunities, they will use all sorts of intrigues to create opportunities, create chaos, and then start fighting.
There is no shortage of cities at the level of the main city in history that have perished in the infighting of the dark elves, but the ten main cities have never been missing.
"But then again, do you know what race the Dark Elves were before they became Dark Elves?"
