The half-blood city of Imlandus, the only home of the half-elves.

In Elvish, 'Imlandes' means 'valley in the woods', and so is its geographical location. This elegant city is built in a valley surrounded by mountains and rivers, but it does not seem to hide itself from arrogance. Outside of the city, there are several flat main roads that lead to it, and there are clear signs on the roads, so you don't have to worry about people not finding it.

It's the only city on the entire continent that a half-breed has managed to build. Just like the elven sanctuary 'Lothlorin', all the half-elves see the city as their own sacred place.

In this chaotic multiverse, there is no shortage of bizarre hybrids. The reproductive isolation between organisms is almost non-existent, but there are some internal universal laws.

In the case of humans, we can successfully produce offspring with giants, goblins, merfolk, ogres, orcs, sheepmen, and many other races (if you want to), but we can't have children with dwarfs, dwarves, gnolls, goblins, etc. (no one wants to anyway).

The same is true for other races, all of which have some rules that need to be followed.

And among them, the genes of dragons and demons are undoubtedly the strongest. Dragons are so terrifying that they can produce dragon blood offspring with any race (yes, no race is an exception), while demons can successfully create half-demons with all races except the Celestial Ones (there is no such thing as half-demons and half-angels, except for Devil May Cry 5, of course).

However, most mixed-race people have a difficult process from conception to birth, and they are generally not accepted by the race of both parents, so it is generally difficult to form a complete and independent race.

The half-elves are the only known independent half-blood race. There are many reasons for this: the appearance of the mixed race (whether it looks good or not), racial strength (whether the next generation will remain stable), racial acceptance (how other races perceive you, mainly human), and so on.

As the master of the continent, humans can accept half-elves, can marry them, and can help them build their own homes, but they obviously don't have such good patience when dealing with half-ogres and the like. Even if those half-breeds are successfully born, they will probably only wander in solitude, or live in a mage's laboratory.

The vast majority of the hybrids in Imlandus are half-elves, with a handful of species such as half-goats and half-dryads, as well as some special dragon-blooded creatures.

Have you ever seen a kobold with thick, pure dragon blood?

"Seriously, it's not a good idea to go underground during this time, the situation down there is too chaotic and abnormal. "This kobold is a lot taller than his ordinary kind. It wore a custom-made black gown, its face was full of wrinkles, and one eye was a cold vertical pupil like a reptilian creature, while the other was normal.

It pulled back the collar of its gown and scratched the red scales around its neck, "Old Colin is a good man, but he won't be as irresponsible as the gray dwarf leader of Agmanch, and he won't let you adventurers go underground to die." It said to Barrett and the others. "But the gray dwarf leader has a bit of a conscience, and knows to let you come to Imlandus to find me. ”

"Then, when will the underground return to normal?" asked Weimar, a little worried.

"Back to normal? no, it should never be possible. The dragon-blooded kobold tapped lightly on the counter with his sharp claws with a ruby ring, and stared at the young man asking the question with his cold vertical pupils, which frightened the latter and quickly looked away.

This guy actually inherited a little bit of dragon power skills from his father, Barrett could feel it. Although Long Wei's aura is very light, if you don't pay attention, you can still receive some deterrent effects.

"The underground will never return to the 'calm' it used to be. The dragon-blooded kobold continued, "Yes, calm. You've just heard me talk in detail about the conditions underground, and compared to the current level of war, the old ones were nothing more than children's fights. ”

"In any case, the war will be won or lost, will it?" William put down his glass, "one side will eventually fail to hold on, and then fall, or surrender." So, it can't be forever. ”

"Yes, you're right, young man, wars will be won and lost, but you won't see it in your lifetime, and maybe I won't see it either. "I want to emphasize once again that this is not a petty competition, neither the Drow nor the Mind Flayer can admit defeat, because they are just pawns in this war, and the final result depends on the people behind them." ”

The dragon's breath kobold pointed upwards with his jeweled claws.

"The Drow Elves are rich in heritage, and there are countless cities large and small that they directly or indirectly control throughout the underground, so it is impossible for them to be defeated in a short period of time. As for the Mind Flayer, they can only insist on moving forward, otherwise they will be replaced by other chess pieces. The dragon-blooded kobold said ominously, "Therefore, it is unlikely that the underground will calm down in a short time." By the way, the short time I am talking about is calculated according to the standards of the dragons. ”

The strange kobold seemed to know a lot, and Barrett looked at its vertical pupils, and more importantly, its bloodline seemed to provide it with a very good intelligence.

Lady Windsor in an unknown space seems to have a quirky hobby of raising kobolds, but it doesn't seem to have been completely successful. Instead of bothering to find other methods, it is better to go directly to the black dragon in the Kanda swamp and ask him to help get some dragonblood kobolds faster. Barrett was cranky.

"Therefore, your actions now in the underground are no different from sending them to death. The dragon-blooded kobold said, "Old Colin is soft-hearted, but he can't see anyone else to send him to death." ”

"There are dangers inherent in any adventure, but that doesn't mean dying as long as you are well prepared. "The Grey Dwarf Chief has told us that you may know some information about what we need for our mission, and I hope you will be able to provide it to us. Seriously, this will undoubtedly reduce a lot of the risks of our underground trip. ”

"Are you really going?" said kobold Colin Sr. sighed helplessly.

"Anyway, it doesn't hurt to hear it. Barrett replied.

"Colin Sr. likes to help people, because there were so many people who helped Colin Sr. The dragon-blooded kobold said solemnly, "Since you have made up your mind to go, there is nothing old Colin can do. By the way, what do you need for your mission? Mossy Spider Eggs?"

"Yes," Barrett nodded, and pulled up the [Mission Log] again to check it out. "Moreover, the mission also said that it is best to have spider silk attached to the eggs. Because the eggs with spider silk are the best to eat. ”

"It seems that your mission-giver was once an underground dweller. Old Colin laughed and said, "Because only pure underground dwellers would love this kind of food." ”
