Chapter 548: Varro's New Book
There is only one passage, so you don't have to think about finding a way.
With Tang Sen's observation ability, he did not see any traces of other creatures around him for the time being, and the terrain of the dark area was extremely complex, with caves thousands of meters wide forming in some places, and sometimes shrinking into a narrow space that was difficult for halflings to pass through.
This is a three-dimensional world, even people who live in dark areas do not dare to stay away from their familiar places, because it means that it is very likely that they will never be able to find it again, and they will be lost forever in those caves that are large and small, and they can't distinguish the direction at all.
Moreover, this sprawling, hidden underground world of Feron is not just one layer, but is divided into three layers.
Townsend had been to the Upper Dark Regions before, and because of its proximity to the surface, it wasn't too dangerous - this was certainly compared to the experienced and familiar adventure party of the Dark Regions, after all, even in the Upper Dark Regions, there were countless monsters active, as well as drow elves, gray dwarves, and underground gnomes.
In this layer, which is closest to the surface, underground rivers flow, and water and food are relatively abundant, and glowing fungi are widely distributed.
In the Middle Dark Realm, where the underground river is drying up and food is even more difficult to find, this is a world of darkness and slaughter, and few adventurers will want to set foot in this realm unless they accidentally fall into this level, or seek some ruin buried in the Dark Realm.
In short, there is no doubt that there are a large number of psionic monsters in this layer.
As for the lowest people in the Shadowlands, there are very few people there, after all, there are very few people who can or escape from it, and tell stories about it.
Even a squad of legendary spellcasters would require a lot of courage and a reason to get to the bottom.
After all, this is a completely bizarre and unbelievable world, where the most dangerous creatures form the most terrifying societies, some with so much magic that they can survive without water and food, and others who live in eternal battles for the right to survive.
It is entirely surmised that the creatures that can live at the bottom are all top-level hunters.
Of course, there will be no shortage of lichs in this kind of place, and even some lichs that have existed since ancient times, they live in seclusion in this dark place, obsessed with those evil and powerful magical knowledge, no one knows how powerful they will be after so many years.
In short, even Tang Sen didn't think he could calmly deal with a place like the Dark Regions.
Deeper down the passage, the glowing moss had disappeared, and there was only pure darkness around it, but fortunately, Townsend could see in the darkness completely, avoiding the need to use dangerous spells such as light spells, which are equivalent to monster lure.
After walking for several hours, and passing through several passes that were impassable without shrinking his body, Townsend finally came to a relatively large cave.
Traces of glowing moss finally reappeared, faintly illuminating the cave - only a part of the ground and stone walls, and the light of the moss could not extend to the roof of the cave tens of meters high.
Townsend noticed that in the center of the cave, there seemed to be a sculpture standing.
"Is there some kind of intelligent race around here?"
Townsend spread out the space of the surgical fruit, and then carefully moved it in front of the sculpture.
Surprisingly, it was a sculpture of a human beingโwith a thick, well-groomed beard, a blue hat, and a rather decent tight-fitting garment, with a white velvet lace neckline, and a coquettish and wealthy bard.
His right hand reached for his waistbag, and his steps retreated, his posture frozen.
"Wait."
Only then did Tang Sen realize the magical aura on the other party's body.
It's not a sculpture, it's a living human being, just petrified.
In a place like the Dark Regions. How could a human appear, petrified by a lone man?
Tang Sen looked this unlucky guy up and down, and he could be sure that this guy's strength was really a little weak, not even Tracey when he first met him, and the things he was wearing were also very unprofessional, except for a bunch of necessary magic props, the most were notebooks and pens.
After thinking about it, Tang Sen snapped his fingers, and the magic power in his body worked, directly removing the petrification effect of the other party.
"Beholder!"
The man quickly took out a suspicious-looking piece of air-dried meat from his waist bag and threw it at Tang Sen with his head and face.
Townsend tilted his head slightly, dodging the piece of meat.
At this time, the man finally realized that what was standing in front of him was not a monster, but a human.
"Looks like I'm saved." His receptivity seemed to be extremely strong, and the horror on his face quickly disappeared, and he squeezed out a smile: "I was petrified by the Eye Demon just now?" As luck would have it, if it had fired a dissociation ray, maybe I wouldn't have been able to stand here and talk anyway, please accept my sincerest thanks, Mr. Caster. โ
"Townworthy." Townsend introduced himself: "You can call me Mr. Tang. โ
"Oh, Karatu-style names." The man held out his hand: "I'm Varro." โ
Tang Sen raised his eyebrows and looked at the other party again: "Varro? The one who wrote "Varro's Bestiary"? โ
Any adventurer in the Faren Continent should not be unaware of Varro.
This guy appears in almost any location where the legend is likely to happen, records everything he sees, and of course, what he writes, is really helpful for adventurers. For example, the Bestiary, which records almost all kinds of monsters that adventurers may encounter in various places, includes the abilities, habits and even challenge levels of monsters.
Before he became obsessed with eating dragons and abyssal demons, Townsend used to read the book as a recipe.
"Looks like you know me." Varro suddenly showed a smug smile: "Of course, it's not just this one, I also wrote "Varro's Guide to Ten Thousand Laws", "Varro's Guide to Sword Bay", "Varro's Guide to Waterdeep City" and so on. โ
"I can send you a full set, of course, this may not be a good occasion here."
He is very familiar with himself, and he likes to tell, and before Townsend could post it, he had already explained the reason why he was here.
"I'm working on a new book, and I think 'Varro's Guide to the City of Morsoblay' is a good name."
"Of course, judging by the current situation, maybe I need to reconsider the name of the new book-"
"Varro's Guide to the Lower Shadows."
