5. Foothold Chapter 183 Dark Elf City - Chapter 184 Infiltration

(Thanks to the evil love phoenix, flower flying leaves, hua8326, Pow knight's monthly pass, and the reward like a rainy morning!)

"Underground dwarves, I hope not Dillor dwarves!"

The middle-aged pastor said after listening to Donald's words. The reputation of the Dwarves of Dilo is so bad that even people like Donald who don't know much about the underworld have heard of it.

The old mage Messer also felt troubled and said, "Although there are not many Dwarves in Dilo, this place is relatively close to the surface, and it is very likely that they will live here. Of course, it could also be the Grey Dwarf Tribe!"

In general, in addition to being attached to the Dark Elves, there are also some gray dwarf tribes that will establish settlements and even underground towns on their own, just like the Dillor dwarves. After all, the strength of the gray dwarves is only ranked below the powerful races such as the dark elves in the dark region, and they are considered medium-strength races, far more powerful than the Xué people and goblins.

"What do you want to do so much, why don't you just go and see it?"

The girl Ellie woke up the dreamer with a word, and the two silver powerhouses couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when they saw that they were not as good as a little girl.

"Miss Ellie's right, it doesn't matter if the other party is a gray dwarf or a Dilo dwarf, our target is not them, it's a big deal to stealthily sneak over!"

As he spoke, Donald took out the invisibility potion for everyone, and then walked forward cautiously without hesitation.

The passage ahead began to open up, and a number of strange-looking underground fungi grew in it, including some phosphorescent bryophytes, and a few stones that glowed faintly, making the surroundings visible.

Seven or eight short, gray-skinned and bald men dressed in earthy yellow clothes, armed with whips and axes and short spears hanging from their waists, were standing there watching the dozens of slave-like humanoids around them crouching on the ground and collecting edible fungi. Even though the creatures were already working hard to be lazy, a few bald dwarves would laugh and whip them for amusement from time to time.

When Donald and the five of them, who had disappeared, came to the dwarves not far from the underground dwarves, they saw such a scene.

"It's the gray dwarves, there aren't many of them, it should be easy not to alarm them to cross over!"

Hearing Sod's words, the others were light-hearted.

The appearance of the gray dwarves is easily distinguished from other dwarven subspecies, most of the gray dwarves are bald, even the female xìng, and they like to wear gray and yellow sè clothing, which allows them to easily blend in with the dim underground rocky background.

Fortunately for Donald and the others, the group of gray dwarves they encountered did not live here, but had come out to collect and use fungi.

In addition to the gray dwarves, the creatures that were gathering food were also recognized, and these strange creatures were none other than the Xué people, the most intelligent creatures of the underworld.

Donald saw that all of these people had strange faces, gray skin, slender limbs, thin bodies, and depressed expressions, just like the alien images in science fiction movies in his previous life. I can't help but feel weird and funny in my heart.

After a brief observation of the situation on the other side, Donald said: "We are lucky, these gray dwarves are not very powerful warriors, it should be no problem to be careful!"

Even in the dark realm, powerful gray dwarf warriors or priests have no low status, and it is impossible for them to come here as overseers and supervise the work of the people of Xué. As for the number of those Xué dwellers, although they are about in their early thirties, their combat effectiveness is inferior to that of kobolds, and they have basically been ignored by Donald and others.

Not far from these underground creatures, several invisible figures passed by. Although they have decided not to alarm these gray dwarves and sneak over quietly, Donald and the others have also made two preparations, once things change, they can also start a war immediately, and they will be ruthless and leave no one alive, so as not to warn the underground creatures behind.

Fortunately, everything went well, and after leaving the feeding grounds of the gray dwarves and xuédwellers, the exit of the passage ahead was already in sight.

Donald released a few owls again and flew out of the passage to investigate. Even if a weak creature like an owl is spotted, it won't attract much attention, and as for the gargoyle, it's hard to summon again.

When the owl flew out of the passage, Donald, who sensed what was going on outside, opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?"

Messer saw the disciple's expression on the side, and immediately asked worriedly.

Donald, who came to his senses, couldn't explain it, but said, "Let's see for yourself!"

Saying that, Donald ran forward first, and the others didn't know why, so they had to follow closely.

When everyone came to the edge of the passage and looked out at the world inside, they were all shocked.

"This, this is really the underground world!"

I saw an endless deep space, above which was an unknown high sky, and countless star-like luminous bodies gathered together, although the light of a single one was very weak, but the whole sky was filled with these points of light, which seemed extremely distant and mysterious.

Below is a vast expanse of land, a black crystal river that curves beneath rocky peaks in the faint glow of the sky.

It's hard to imagine that there could be such a vast world above the surface underground.

Immediately behind the river was a triangular city, in the center of which stood a huge stone pillar at least thirty stories high, on which a bright fire burned over a ten-mile radius of the city.

Looking into the distance, with their eyes, they could only see a dark mí fog, and could not find anything else.

The Netherlands are the collective name for the underworld by the surface inhabitants of the Overworld.

This world is made up of large and small caves and caves, as well as the tunnels that connect them. Evil creatures who fear the sun, races that have been expelled from the surface world all live here to avoid the sun's rays. There are also countless deformed creatures that are different from surface creatures that grow here.

The Dark Lands are not savage lands, but are inhabited by cities and settlements built by evil intelligent creatures such as the Dark Elves, Grey Dwarves, and Mind Flayers, who enslave the weaker underground races such as the Xuédwellers and the Underground Gnomes, as well as some intelligent humanoid slaves from the surface, including humans.

There is not only one layer in the dark region, some of the rarer races hide deeper underground, and have developed strange social forms that are completely different from those in the upper layers, such as the monsters in the underground caverns. In addition, there are many underground water sources and endless passages like mí palaces, and if you rush into the latter, you will basically end up starving to death or reduced to the rations of the creatures underground.

After traveling underground for such a long time, even the five people with strong mental qualities couldn't help but feel depressed, and now when they came to this vast space that was almost not inferior to the surface world, they suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and if they were ordinary people, they would definitely have the urge to shout and sing. But the five of them were not ordinary people, so they naturally knew that it was better to keep quiet in such places.

The passage was not safe, and the gray dwarves could return at any time, so the five of them did not stay where they were, but immediately left the place and headed for the underworld below.

It wasn't until the five of them found a suitable hiding spot that they stopped to rest and prepare to discuss further action.

"That small underground city is called Scorpion Tail Flower City, it is a force belonging to the evil dark elves, and the target of our mission this time is in that city!"

Donald's master and apprentice both had a bad face when they heard this, obviously not very optimistic about this task.

If the target is just a small number of underground alien settlements, then with their overwhelming absolute strength, even a frontal attack can quickly solve the target.

But now the target is a large underground city, and it is a city controlled by the dark elves of the first race in the dark region where the strong are like clouds, even the golden powerhouses dare not make trouble in it, and with the strength of their five silvers, there is basically no return. In such a situation, we have to discuss the battle plan.

Donald was the first to speak, "Friends of the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture, it's time to tell us your true purpose, right? Are we going to be enemies of this city? In that case, I don't want to go with you to face the dark elves and their men in the whole city for no reason! This is undoubtedly a suicide to send to death!"

Up to now, Donald has also somewhat understood that the task of any holy relic should be just an excuse, and even if it is not an excuse, it is estimated that it is only incidental. The real purpose of these people should be more than that, so he directly and honestly expressed his meaning.

The three members of the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture glanced at each other, and then Thord stood up and said, "It's not that we want to hide it from the two of us, but the stakes are very high, and once we leak it, I'm afraid it will cause great trouble, so we found an excuse to hide it!"

Seeing that Donald and Messer were both listening attentively, Thord continued, "We have received news that Lady Yīn is about to prepare an alliance with the evil Spider Queen, and the two of their subordinates will meet in the near future to form an alliance, intending to encroach on the entire Dark Realm, and then use this as a base to invade the surface world!"

When the two Donald heard the news at first glance, they couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts.

Mortals who call the gods by their names will be sensed by the true gods, so Soder only said the titles of the two goddesses, and did not dare to call the gods by their names.

Lady Yīn is the title of Elsa, the goddess of the night, and the Spider Queen is a reference to Flora, the goddess of spiders and dark elves. These two are old ancient gods who have existed since the beginning of the world, and it is said that they were sealed for many years until the Second Demon War, that is, before the collapse of the Bannai Empire, they regained their freedom and became one of the most powerful beings among the gods.

The other is also a powerful true god, but this spider queen is best known not for her strength, but for her cruel and perverted xìng love.

Where can these two powerful beings be involved in the matter of these mortals? Donald retreated, and his first thought was to immediately teleport back to the surface with his teacher!

However, looking at the expressions of the three people on the opposite side who were not worried at all, it showed that things were still changing that he didn't know, maybe these three had enough hole cards to deal with this matter, so he didn't leave immediately, ready to listen to what they would say.

Chapter 184 Sneaking into It is said that the body of the Spider Queen is a beautiful female xìng with an upper body, and the lower body is the form of a huge black widow fù spider, and it inherits the black widow fù's Tian xìng, this spider queen is also a horn sè who eats people and does not spit out bones, and she often eats male xìng, and she likes to torture male xìng for fun.

Legend has it that Flora, the spider queen, was not as perverted as she is now, but because of emotional wounds.

Flora, who was not yet the Spider Queen, pursued Ignatz, the main god of the elves, and after the two powerful beings got along for a while, it may be that Ignatz realized that Flora's ambitions were not small, and his heart was not suitable for the kindness and peace of his elves, so Ignatz, who pursued a comfortable life, planned to break up with him.

It's just that this elven god didn't expect that there would be a woman like Flora in the world, not only entangled and silent, but also verbally threatened. Ignatz was impatient with the idea that he couldn't be provoked and couldn't hide, so he closed his kingdom and prepared to come for a hundred years, thinking that it would be good to calm down when the other party couldn't find him.

But Ignatz underestimated the madness that jealous, psychologically biased women can do when they don't get what they want. It turns out that even the mighty true gods can't understand the psychology of the most bizarre creature in the multiverse. Because of love and hatred, Flora actually took advantage of Ignatz's closure of the kingdom of God to make a big move in the main world, successfully subdued a group of elves in the elven race and split out, and set a curse, so that these elves completely changed their feelings from the spirits and degenerated into evil camp creatures.

The elves are like his children to Ignatz, and Flora is undoubtedly threatening the entire elven race by doing this, and Ignatz, the best old man among the gods, is also on fire at this moment, as one of the most powerful beings in this world, he captured Flora's body as soon as he made a move, although he thought of the old love, and did not hurt the killer, but sealed her to the deep and dark underground world.

Since you love the Fall so much, stay in the dark underground!

As for the elves who had fallen, Ignatz couldn't save them all, and he couldn't bear to kill them all, so he sealed them and Flora in the ground.

However, Ignatz didn't expect that Flora, who originally had some hope of retrieving, saw Ignatz so desperate, and she was completely desperate, so she became more and more psychopathic. At the time of the First Demon Sealing War, a spatial rift also appeared in the underground world, which was closest to the Abyss Plane. In order to escape the seal of darkness, under the yòuhuò of the will of the abyss, Flora resolutely gave up her identity as a natural true god, chose to merge with the will of the abyss, and degenerated into an evil demon god, and her body became an ugly appearance of half human and half spider.

Flora, who became a demon god, opened up the web of the pit of God in the abyss, became one of the planes, called herself the Spider Queen, and led her followers to the fallen elves, which are now the dark elves, and regarded the surface elves as mortal enemies, specifically against the elves.

In order to help the elves resist the threat of the Spider Queen and her men, Ignatz selected a few excellent High Elves and personally promoted them directly to the status of true gods with their powerful divine powers. This is the origin of the later elven god system.

These high elves can be said to be his children's general existence, their life span is close to immortality, their strength is at least above the legend, and the most powerful is not inferior to the true god, so as soon as they become gods, they have successively comprehended the ability of the gods, sheltering the elves to reproduce to this day, and even among the human beings, there are many believers.

These legends about the Spider Queen provide Donald with some intuitive insight into the true god who would only choose to be an enemy of such a being if he was kicked in the head by a donkey.

What's more, in addition to this spider queen, there is also a goddess of the night who is even more powerful, and the strength of that one is said to be very jealous even of the three glorious gods who have always had a tough attitude, let alone his little mortal.

In his eyes, these three elites of the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture were undoubtedly death squads who came to carry out suicide missions.

Donald doesn't think that he can compete with the true god after he obtains the god xìng, the god xìng only provides him with a bright road, and whether he can go to the end depends on his own efforts. On top of silver, there are powerful beings such as gold, legends, and even demigods. Even if he is a demigod who claims to be invincible in the main world, if he encounters a true god out of the main world, he will definitely be defeated.

The true gods have become the rulers of the laws, and the Golden Legend ranks are only on the edge of the shallow laws! There is no comparison between them at all.

Faced with the attitude of Donald's master and apprentice, the trio of the Goddess of Agriculture Church were not surprised, but if they encountered this situation, they would probably be dissatisfied.

After all, pulling people to confront the two true god-level existences and the huge forces under them is undoubtedly an act of pulling people to death.

Seeing the young knight Ellie say to the two of them: "Actually, this mission is not as dangerous as the two imagined! There is definitely danger, but in order to deal with the possible danger, our church leaders have already prepared some powerful items and equipment, so that we can successfully infiltrate the enemy city, reconnoiter the situation, and wait for the opportunity to sabotage the alliance between the two sides." ”

Sod also added: "In addition to these preparations, we also brought two teleportation runes given by the goddess herself, as long as we are still in the main world plane, we can send them back to the nearest goddess temple in an instant, so as long as we act carefully, we should basically be in danger and be able to complete the task smoothly!"

After listening to this, Donald felt much better, and said, "Since you are so well prepared, then there is no need for me and the teacher to get in the way here, and according to the agreement, I have also completed the task of leading the way, so we should also leave now, right?"

Messer also nodded on the side, he didn't want his only disciple to be involved in such a dangerous thing at all.

"Since you two say so, we can't force you to go on an adventure with you, so we will complete this mission on our own, but I have a small request, that is, I hope that the two of you can wait for us at the exit here for a while, at most two days, we will leave immediately whether we complete the task or not, if the situation is too critical, use the teleportation rune, forget it, after seeing the light activated by the rune, the two of you can leave immediately. But if we don't use the rune and break out of the Scorpion Tail Flower City, then I hope that the two of you can take a shot, and our church will definitely be rewarded for this!"

Hearing the girl Ellie say this, Donald and the teacher glanced at each other, and felt a lot more comfortable.

I heard him say: "If you just answer everyone, this can still be done by me and the teacher, after all, my summoned creatures are very suitable for everyone to break off!"

When Thord heard that Donald had already agreed, he hurriedly thanked: "Thank you for your help!

"We are running out of time, we must immediately sneak into the Scorpion Flower City to prepare, the effect of the invisible potion of Your Excellency Baron is very useful, I don't know if you can provide us with some, and Your Excellency Baron can ask the church for compensation afterwards!"

Since they had all decided to stay and receive them, Donald no longer hid it, but generously gave each of them three bottles of invisibility potion, and also gave three vials of life potion.

"That's all I can do for you, I hope you all the best and complete your mission as soon as possible!"

With that, the three of them thanked him again, and left the hiding place in the dark, and soon disappeared.

Looking at the backs of the three people who came to the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture leaving, Donald couldn't understand why the three of them weren't worried at all, as if they were not invading the dangerous dark elf city, but killing into the nest of a group of cowardly goblins. Even if they were to die generously for their faith, like those fanatical believers, they would have expressed some fanaticism, fear, nervousness, etc., and how could they be so calm.

Unless they have something else to rely on in their hands, and they are a powerful hole card that is not afraid of a dark elf city.

Thinking of the ordinary-looking young knight, but the more he thought about it, the more mysterious it became, Donald thought to himself.

A few minutes after the three of them left, Donald took out a crystal ball the size of a skull with a bottom bracket and said to Messer, "Teacher, let's take a look at the situation here, and where Thord has gone!"

As he spoke, he pressed his hand on the crystal ball, closed his eyes and meditated, and soon opened his eyes and removed his hand, and saw that the crystal ball had already shown a scene hundreds of miles ahead, and it was reflected in the air above the crystal ball.

Looking at this 3D stereoscopic projection-like scene, the old mage felt a burst of surprise at that time.

smiled and said, "You kid has a lot of weird things!"

Seeing a few barely visible black shadows moving forward a few miles away from the remote stone valley where he was hiding, he knew that it was the three of them. Seeing that there should still be some time before they approached the target, Donald adjusted the picture to the triangular city more than ten miles ahead.

The city was built on a high ground, with a steep slope on the periphery, and only a wide road was built in the middle of the gate for carriages to enter.

Many aliens entered and exited the city gates from time to time, and there were fixed soldiers patrolling outside the city gates.

Donald saw a patrol of dark elves passing by from a distance, and judging by its sophisticated weaponry and cautious style, he knew that this was a team of elite warriors who had experienced a hundred battles.

With excellent weapons created by the gray dwarves, and the dark elves are also very talented in enchanting skills, so even ordinary patrol soldiers can use low-grade enchanted weapons and equipment such as sharpness and sturdiness.

In this regard, they are far stronger than the human army, but the human race is numerically superior to these intelligent races, and the elite troops are not inferior to the dark elves, so the powerful dark elves can only succumb to the dark world that does not see the light of day, and the conquest of the main world is undoubtedly an impossible dream. !。
