CHAPTER XXVII
readx;? A black gecko was lurking in the crack of the wall, its tiny eyes staring at the motionless spider in the web in front of it. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info for a long time, only to move slowly, to get a little closer to the prey...
About ten minutes passed, and the gecko got closer and closer to the spider.
At the same time, the spider remained in the web, unaware of the approaching danger.
Such prey is undoubtedly the favorite of predators, and just as the gecko was about to launch a surprise attack on its prey and then feast on itself, the wall suddenly shook.
The spider in the spider's web, as if frightened, suddenly retracted into the corner of the wall. A sound came, and the gecko was unwilling to recapture the gap, revealing only a pair of small eyes, staring at the outside of the wall, trying to see who was disturbing his good deeds...
"Thank you for the wind, thank you for the rain, thank you for the sun, shining on the earth, since you have been..."
Sitting in the car, Yan Shao hummed an unknown song in his mouth while fiddling with the war knife not long ago.
According to the identification of underground gnomes, this war knife is commonly used by humans.
This can be seen from the style, and from the smelting technology, it should be the work of the dwarves. Not surprisingly, although there are a significant number of dwarves who hate humans, this does not prevent them from trading with humans. After all, humans have many things in their hands that dwarves need, such as the wine they need most...
You must know that the two biggest impressions left by dwarves are that they are good at blacksmithing, and the other is that they like to drink.
Compared to the dwarven forging skills, their brewing skills are obviously much inferior.
On the other hand, the forging skills of humans are much inferior to those of the dwarves, but the skills of brewing are much better than those of the dwarves. So no matter how unwilling the dwarves are, they can only use the weapons they forge to exchange wine with humans...
So it's not surprising that dwarves have weapons in the hands of humans.
It's just that...
After all, it is an imported product, and the price is much higher than that of the oneself-cast, so except for officers, it is impossible for ordinary soldiers to use dwarf man-made weapons...
"So, this weapon should be the weapon of a human officer, but somehow it fell into the hands of a strong goblin, maybe some human patrol was ambushed by them..."Knight, frowning slightly, looking a little confused. "But those strong goblins shouldn't have the ability to annihilate a human patrol..."
The dangers of the Shadowlands are clear to everyone, even for the natives, let alone the unwelcome outsiders.
The human patrol team in the underground is hardly less than one squadron, that is, more than forty people, and sometimes even as high as one or two hundred, which can almost start a war against the average small city.
Just now, those robbers, before they even got closer, I am afraid that they had already been baptized by the mages of the patrol team with spells.
"Whatever, it has nothing to do with me...", fiddling with the war knife in love, Yan Shao said without raising his head.
The time he spent wandering alone in the dark region made him deeply understand the importance of weapons.
As for weapons, in theory, ordinary robbers are no match for patrols. But perhaps the patrol was routed first, and then the remnants of the fleeing remnants were confronted by the bandits, a small chance, but not impossible...
"And what about you, and why did you save us?"
A pair of calves dangling outside the car, Knight asked with a serious expression.
"The reason is very simple..."Wiping the blade with a white cloth, Yan Shao took back the scabbard. "Because you are one of the few races in this world that can communicate, if I want to return to the surface, then the best thing to do is to ask you for help..."
The dark regions are teeming with dangerous creatures and races.
For example, the evil and cunning dark elves, the disgusting but dangerous octopus head (spirit sucker or mind flayer), the extremely evil eye demon, etc...
Compared with these races, the strong goblins and bear goblins that Yan Shao encountered before could only be regarded as innocent and pure children. For the Dark Elves or the other two creatures, the only value of those two is as slaves or as food, nothing more...
What's more, in addition to these, there are other creatures such as gray dwarves, benthic mobs...
But even in such a dangerous underground world, there are still certain good, nay, or should I say communicative creatures...
Underground gnomes, one of them.
The so-called underground gnomes. They are neither good nor evil, and they are at odds with this dark world full of trickery, but the underground gnomes not only survive, but also prosper. They are tough warriors, skilled at crafting weapons and armor, and have an even stronger resonance with the rocks than the evil gray dwarves. Despite the dangers that may lurk around every corner, they are obsessed with mining precious minerals and gemstones.
Having lived in seclusion in the depths of the dark region for many years, they differ from their dwarf relatives on the surface in that these underground gnomes have little sense of humor, and instead have a seriousness that dwarfs rarely have...
Of course, because of their relatively peaceful nature, they have also become the most mysterious race in the underground world, and few people know where the underground gnomes live...
In addition to the underground gnomes, there are creatures such as mushrooms...
The mushroom is a special species between plant and animal, and the great mushroom fills the area one to three miles below the surface of the highest forest. It is also said that this creature is also one of the oldest creatures in the world, but they have not built any great civilization because they cannot leave their forest...
However, they are immune to magic, so they are not easy to mess with...

"You have to be clear..."Looking at Yan Shao's relaxed face, Knight said solemnly. "The city of gnomes rarely welcomes strangers, especially to avoid revealing the location of the city, I can take you to our city, but taking me doesn't guarantee that you will leave with what you want..."
"However, you won't kill me or put me under house arrest, will you..."Sitting next to Knight, Yan Shao said indifferently.
"Of course!" Knight raised a serious little face. "Anyway, humans, you've always helped us, and our underground gnomes will never take revenge..."
"That's fine..."
While the two were talking, the speed of the convoy suddenly slowed down.
Immediately after, in a cheer, Yan Shao saw a city.
Calmote, a city inhabited by thousands of underground gnomes.
