Chapter 367: First Stop
The sound of wooden wheels rubbing against the ground echoed in my ears all the time. Just as Richard was about to fall asleep immersed in the rhythmic sound of the cycle, suddenly faint lights appeared on both sides of the stone path.
Wooden stakes are erected on both sides of the stone path, and on top of the stump is a transparent glass lid through which a faint light shines through. And the source of light in these covers is either underground fireflies or underground bright mushrooms. This is the underground version of the street lamp.
As the street lights turned on, pedestrians gradually appeared on the stone path. Most of them are dark elves, but they are also an underground race with strange looks. It must have arrived at a city-state, as he saw a few dark elves pulling their heads down with some kind of forbidden rope, but the muscular slaves were walking on the stone path.
Chapter 367
The more I walked, the more people on the road became, and the lizards and spider carriages were constantly shuttling out of the darkness. There is also a dark elf knight with a full body armor and a proud face, riding a huge petrified lizard or a giant tarantula.
There was a gap on both sides of the road where the Dark Elves were talking in Dark Elven language, but Richard, who didn't translate the mushrooms, couldn't understand it.
"Oh, take it and eat it. "In front of the carriage, a burden was thrown by the lich Barbaros.
Kling eagerly took the baggage, quickly opened it, and no matter what was inside, he grabbed one and threw it in his mouth. Richard took out one, and when he looked at it, it was the translation mushroom he was thinking about.
Richard was a little surprised, but he heard the cold voice of the lich Barbaros in front of him: "Eat, when you arrive at the arena, they are all the judges of the dark elves." It's too late for you to learn the language of the Dark Elves, so I'll have to give you this high-end food. lest you do not understand the rules and die of confusion. ”
Richard bowed slightly, and then gave Aladdin Ayub Ben another one, and they all ate it.
After eating the translation mushrooms, in an instant, Richard could understand the conversation of the dark elves outside.
"Did you hear that? A statue of the Lord of Endless Darkness has been erected in the Colosseum......"
"I heard that a king found a super-large rare gem and decided to dedicate it to the Lord of Endless Darkness, and then the Lord sent an oracle to build this statue......"
"I see......"
"Hey, hey, you're here for the gladiator tournament, do you need the rules of the city's athletic tournaments, you know it's ready, now it's only 99 silver coins!No gold, just silver!!" Barbaros, the lich, stopped on the road in his lizard-horse, because the road ahead was blocked.
I saw that the convoy that stretched out for thousands of meters in front was waiting to check and enter the city, and at this time, a large group of low-level dark elves surrounded them, recommending various gladiator manuals and so on to the lich Barbaros.
Richard poked his head out and looked ahead, and sure enough, he had reached a city-state. A huge city stood in the darkness in front of it, illuminated by various dark blue lights that gave it a sense of mystery.
The city of the dark elves is similar to that of humans, and it is also a city wall made of stone and earth, but there are various reliefs carved on this wall, which is also the common pursuit of art by the elves. Even in this underworld, the Dark Elves are revered by the Underworld.
A lover of blood, art, cruelty, and an unbridled imagination, the Dark Elves are a contradiction.
"This is supposed to be the city of the Murphy family. Aladdin Ayub Ben also poked his head out to look at it, and then said thoughtfully.
"The Murphys?" Richard wondered.
"Well, a large family that should be under the command of the Northern Dark Elf King, and the head mother of this family has a decisive influence under the Northern Dark Elf King. ”
Since the dark elves were damaged by Rose, the matrimonial mothers of many families have been punished with heavy deaths, reduced levels or even levels because they have Rose's divine power in their bodies.
And when these mistresses lost their divine powers, some male dark elves finally no longer had to fear and forbear. The genius among them quickly broke through to fame and became a super powerhouse who was famous in the underground.
The most famous and powerful of them remembered some of the systems they had in ancient times when they were still members of the elven race on the surface. Therefore, they call themselves the King of the Dark Elves, and they want to build a kingdom and create an empire belonging to the Dark Elves. However, because of traditional reasons, most of the Dark Elf Lords have not lost much in their strength, so the kingdom established by these four Dark Elf Kings from the East, West, South, and North is still in the process of integrating various interests. Among them, for some large families, these royal families must also put down their shelves to win them over.
Listening to Aladdin Ayub Benn's words, Richard understood the social system of the dark elves again. Overall, the world of the Dark Elves underneath is in the midst of a great change over hundreds of thousands of years. Rose was lost, and the Dark Elf Master Mother lost her divine powers, and she also lost her past authority over all life and death. Some aspiring dark elves have begun to awaken, and the dark elf world is changing from a city-state family system to a feudal emperor and aristocracy.
"But...... Why did we participate in such a large city-state family competition in the first place? Most of the people who dare to compete here are strong opponents. Aladdin Ayub Ben stroked his beard in thought. It is clear that Aladdin Ayub Ben has known about the dark elven world of the underground since he was on the surface, and during this year of the underworld, he has learned more about the underground world through various channels.
"It seems that Instructor Drogba is very optimistic about us......" Thinking that he couldn't think of a reason in the end, Aladdin Ayub Ben had to say with a wry smile.
"The master is also very optimistic about you, so you must play well in this first battle and win the championship of this city-state!" Barbaros, the lich in front, heard the chatting of several people behind him, and suddenly said in a loud voice.
Once again, the lizard-wagon was in motion, inspected by the guards, and passed through the city gates. Finally, Richard arrived at the first underground city, "Murphy City", which was named after the city's family. It was also the first time that Richard had seen so many dark elves bustling through this huge city.
In this Murphy City, the Dark Elves adorn their houses with an eerie art that is invisible to the surface. I saw a large number of statues of long-winged demons or bat-winged devils carved on the beams and eaves on both sides of the street, staring at people coming and going with a pair of terrifying eyes......
