"Are you sure you're not mistaken? This time, the mission is to go to the dark regions with the team? "Claudia. Auditore's eyes lit up, and she was extremely curious about the land she had never set foot in.

Then Claudia. Auditore's friend Clematis. Bot poked her face with his finger: "Claudia, your attitude is obviously wrong!" The dark region is not a good place, and at our current level, the risk is still very high. ”

"Speaking of which, I do remember that there seems to be a trip to the Dark Regions organized by players last year! Does anyone know if their plan has worked out? Hearing this, Rielly seemed to have some old memory in her head.

The anvil, which had been robbed of white for a long time, finally found a chance to speak: "I remember that it was organized by a chamber of commerce with the name of 'Clear Stream Spring'!" It seems like we attended its job fairs at the beginning. But then we made other choices, and we have today's bloodstained gray flower mercenary group. As for whether those guys succeeded or failed, I really didn't really care. ”

"The guys mentioned on the forum that they had not been halfway through the journey before they were crushed by various attacks from underground. And the local tyrant player who spent a lot of money to get the 4th heir of the Chamber of Commerce also completely lost his inheritance because of the failure of this task. "Barrett has been very good at this aspect.

Different people have different ways to play, some players like adventure and desire to fight, while others want to taste a different kind of life. Therefore, it is natural to spend a lot of money to come into the game to play business wars. However, the system that loves pit people is not willing to let them go smoothly even if it costs a lot of money (in this case, Claudia. Auditore himself is the best example of this).

Players who have chosen the heir of the Chamber of Commerce are usually unlikely to inherit the family business smoothly. Either they have a low stake in the Chamber of Commerce and need to fight to the death with other shareholders. Either they have a low inheritance order and need to carry out a series of tasks to prove that they are better than others.

And after choosing this path, the player's character attributes will be on par with the common people among the aborigines - according to the system. Since you don't want to take risks, you don't need such a high combat power. And the average player is usually an elite attribute, such as Barrett, who is almost heroic.

Therefore, after paying so much, if the inheritance task fails, then all the previous investment will be wasted. Therefore, the last time I met the merchant war player, even if he was drawn to sign - go to the dark region to open up new business routes for the Chamber of Commerce. There are also possible reasons for having to grit your teeth to organize human hands. Of course, another possibility is that the player was aroused of his own nature in the face of high difficulty, and began to challenge the task with enthusiasm. The only problem was that the difficulty of that mission, which exceeded the player's limit at the time, could only end up failing.

"I almost forgot that we still have a data party in our team. It seems that you are not only recording the data in the game, but also the other players' data that seem to be loaded into your head. Rielie teased.

Barrett stretched out his hand and nodded his head: "It's not that exaggerated, it's just that I met that player before, so I will watch it when I have time." ”

"So now the question arises? This time, we're joining the dwarves with Anvil! Let's let our Mr. Dwarf prepare for the next mission. Rielly touched her chin as she spoke, "You know, the Shadows aren't a good place, even though the Norhan Kingdom has been in business for many years and has built a forward fortress. But the threat to us adventurers has not diminished at all. ”

"If, according to Anvil, the Deep Stone Lord himself is involved, then the risk is still within a tolerable range." Barrett evaluated, "If this can do the clan contribution and part-time tasks all at once, then it's worth trying." By the way, with a two- or three-month round trip to the underground, I think you don't have to worry about your upgrade experience. ”

Barrett's words were final, and the players were led by Anvil to the Hammersmith Clan's headquarters the next morning. Barende, the Deepstone Lord, was taller than Barrett - but that was a reminder for a Dwarven Lord. On the day each Dwarven Lord is successfully inaugurated, he will become as big as a balloon that has been cast on the Giant Transformation Technique. It's just that the change is permanent. It is also not affected by spells such as disarming magic and anti-magic fields.

The tall dwarf with a serious expression looked at the anvil twice. He turned his gaze to the players behind him: "Bloodstained Gray Flower Mercenary Group, I've heard your name." Although you have only been in existence for a little over a year, you are still very active in the vicinity of the kingdom of Norhan. The big man warrior of the Boreham family, the kid of the Black Rock family, have you changed teams? ”

"Yes! I find myself more suitable for my current companions. Anvil nodded. In fact, he was already a little frightened by Mr. Barend in front of him, and Anvil never expected that the other party would know so much about the information of his party.

However, Barrett on the side nodded secretly in his heart at this time, in his opinion, as the organizer of this operation. It is necessary for Mr. Barende to achieve this level of intelligence. After all, going to the dark region is a dangerous act, and if you recruit a teammate who is not strong enough, it will not only send the opponent to death, but also drag down the team. This must not be taken lightly.

And the blood-stained gray flower mercenary group is not very famous on the mainland. But as the other side said, whether it is the 1 team led by Barrett or the 2 team led by Mario. They are all relatively active in the country. Therefore, it is not difficult for an identity like Mr. Barend to get relevant information about them first.

"Your choice is good, and the current team has better prospects than you did at the beginning." Speaking of this, Mr. Barronde's gaze swept over several players again, "If you were still on the same team from before, I wouldn't agree to them participating in this operation. But now that we're on the same page, I'd like to see you in person. ”

"Understood! Mr. Barend, we'll work on it. Anvil replied for the first time on behalf of the team.

Mr. Barend finally turned his gaze back to Anvil: "Your efforts are the most important thing compared to your companions. If you want to get what you want. Then work the rest of your journey! ”

Five days later, the rearmament team finally left Poitou, a team of dwarves and gnomes, with only a handful of human-like members like Rielly - after all, it was a regular annual mission carried out by the dwarves and gnomes of Quannorkhan.

Keep in mind that the protozoan caverns are ubiquitous, and the dark elves can easily bypass the surveillance of the advancing fortress. Even in the three large transit camps, each of them did not need to be rebuilt at a very long interval. For both caravans and adventurers, it is a journey that requires a suicide note. In fact, if it weren't for the support of the dwarves and gnomes. Whether this underground advance fortress can survive to this day is also a question.

In order for the caravan to go more smoothly underground, the main foot of the caravan is not a horse, but a camel beast that resembles a yak. Although not as fast as horses, they have better stamina and lower requirements for feed and water - which is even more important for performing in the dark. Because there is no rain in dark areas, fresh water is the most valuable resource. Residents must rely on any liquid that comes down from the surface. Many times the discoverers of water store water and protect it with life.

After leaving Poitou, the caravan headed south to the city of Shafir, where Barrett had been born, because the entrance to the dark region of Nohan was in the mountains not far from the city. And the kingdom of Norhan, which is disturbed by the dark elves from time to time. A surface fortress was also set up outside the entrance, the Halberd Fortress.

But even with the double insurance of the Advance Fortress and the Halberd Fortress, there will still be dark elves coming to the surface to cause trouble for other intelligent creatures. Fortunately, the frequency of harassment is acceptable to the rulers compared to the defenseless conditions. And every time the hunting party of the dark elves is successfully wiped out, the ambushed lords can also get quite a lot of loot - whether it is Barrett's breastplate or the dagger of noodles, there are more or less those dark merits in it.

At the end of the two-day journey to the surface, the caravan soon entered the dark underground cavern. Winding along the caverns of the Black Goo, the lanterns in the caravan glow like fireflies. The initial journey was almost immutable, as it had not yet truly entered the Dark Realms. Naturally, there will be no spectacular scenery that can be found there.

Looking at the unchanging rock walls around her, Rielly flipped through her spell book from time to time: "It is said that the cities of the Dark Region are very magically developed. Many caravans use teleportation for trade. ”

"It's not for nothing that you trade with teleportation. However, it is really impossible for large caravans. At best, they are used to transport certain expensive and much-needed goods. "Barrett seems to have suddenly remembered something." However, it is said that some cities in the Dark Lands will use ready-made portals to teleport caravans to their destinations to speed up their journeys. ”

The unique radiating leylines of the dark region have produced many amazing high natural wonders there. For example, fixed natural portals are one of them, and these portals often correspond to each other, each with a fixed route. The path to a nearby portal is often the trigger for a long war between neighboring cities. Of course, cities that often murder and enslave caravans in peacetime often find themselves deprived of useful resources. And it's vulnerable.

"I wonder if we'll have a chance to see that treasure of nature later." As she spoke, Rielly's expression was yearning.

It's a pity that Barrett shook his head directly: "Don't think too much about it." According to my information, there is not a single portal from here to the forward fortress set up by the Norhan Kingdom. After all, for the builder of the stronghold, let the portal appear after the stronghold. That would definitely ruin their reputation. And in terms of the environment, it was too close to the surface, and the weakened leyline radiation was not enough to cause the magic to distort. ”

"Barrett, do you think we're going to meet the Dark Elves this time? Those black skins from last time were really a bunch of gift bags! Noodle said and touched the ghost dagger at his waist meaningfully.

Barrett, who was sitting on the back of the 'Yak', tilted his head and said, "It's not clear. Although there are black skins that infiltrate from the cordons of the fortress every year, whether we can meet them depends on luck. And if the other party is a small group of people, I don't think it will be enough to pay attention to this caravan! So the main threat should still be the creatures of the underground, such as the dreadclaw, which is likely to become an obstacle to the caravan through the new underground passages. ”

As the fulfillment continued, the players finally got rid of the unchanging rock wall and began to officially enter the dark realm. Players who have just stepped into the ground immediately see a charming scenery compared to the surface. The roof of the cave is bent into an arch, and the long pointed rock breaks through the air. The strange stone stalactites form a group of lifelike statues. There are many caves on the steep cliffs, which look like entrances to passages.

Glow rocks, glow-in-the-dark crystals, and phosphorescent mosses, lichens, and fungi dimly illuminate everything here. Strange plants in the Dark Regions are common, and many times visitors can barely identify which ones are hostile and which are poisonous without using magic or conducting potentially lethal experiments.

However, it is clear that this place has been operated by surface humans for a long time, so a large number of glowing plants are specially transplanted here, as well as some low-value glowing ores.
