( )Well,It's been a little rough with the plot transition lately...... I hope you can find a mistake and update quickly without pop-ups

——

"But, ah, it's so annoying, this is too, that is also ......"

The joy on the little girl's face suddenly turned to loss, she pursed her lips, carefully selected the things in her hand, and put the things that hung the dark regional characteristics back in their places, and reluctantly made Edward smile and shake his head.

Girls are naïve and beautiful, and no matter how beautiful a woman is, if she is delicate and pretentious, she will easily annoy people.

After a few glances on the shelves of those ornaments, the telemancer stretched out his hand, and when he opened it in front of the little girl, there was already a pair of ruby ornaments in his palm- A pair of earrings, the material used is a relatively small piece of gemstone, relatively cheap, but the rare thing is that the material seems to be quite good, under the shimmer of light, as if pure blood droplets, surrounded by gold into the shape of a spider, eight claws bent up, into a connected pin, slightly glowing with some blackened color, like a living thing, but the shape does not make people feel the disgust of insects. It's more subtle.

This thing doesn't have the slightest magical luster, it's just an ordinary ornament, mainly with a strong exotic atmosphere, which is quite different from what you usually see.

"Ahh The little girl snatched it in surprise and looked at it for a moment, then she reached out and pressed the earring to her earlobe. "Isn't it pretty, is it pretty?" he smiled sweetly.

"Good looking. It's beautiful. Edward complimented, holding her hood down and paying attention to it left and right.

This is the territory of the dark elves, if anyone finds a half-elf mixed in...... Not. Of course, it wasn't that easy to spot, after all, she was still cast by Edward as a blinding psychic ability, and within a few hourglasses, her skin was black in the eyes of others, not much different from ordinary drow.

Edward saw it, though. It's the excited smiling face of the little girl.

"Take it with you. ”

"However, I told you, I haven't had my ears pierced...... Miss Half-Elf pouted again, "I can't bring this thing with me for the time being!"

"Oh. Then I'll help you hit two. ”

"How can that be done!" The half-elf was stunned for a moment, then shook his head like a rattle, and his face turned red: "...... That one. Stupid Edward, earrings are meaningful, they can't be so easy!"

"What's the point?"

"Don't sue you! ”

Seeing the little girl wrap the two ornaments with great importance, Edward casually paid the merchant two gems, but he couldn't help but shake his head - there was no taboo for this kind of ornament in his memory...... Earlier, it was simply casual, a pushpin, a stapler, and even a toothpick, and it was a trivial matter to tie seven or eight by one person...... Well, it's not surprising that girls are afraid of pain. Besides, the ears of the half-elves are far thinner than those of humans, so they may hurt even more.

"Why don't you pick one...... too."

Looking at the side, Edward Jian said - the money in the team, of course, is in his hands, but after all, they are all girls, and they come out together, just giving the little girl a gift alone, it is a bit unreasonable. And in a sense, the two girls here may not have a strange relationship with him.

But this kindness was exchanged for two refusals -

"It doesn't make sense. Master, you might as well pick up some magic equipment. Daherne just shook her head and lowered her gaze, but Claudia spoke uncharacteristically.

This is actually pertinent, but it is not very practical - in the dark region, most of the magic items used to sell are mostly made by Zhuoer, and most of the magic used is enhanced by the radiation of the leylines, so the items will be damaged when they reach the surface.

It's just that there is an exception to everything.

A few people wandered slowly, and when the shopping street was about to come to an end, they really found a storefront, opened in a large cave, and the owner of the shop pù turned out to be a group of gnomes - judging by the dark red skin, it was not the origin of underground gnomes, God knows how he survived in such an evil place.

Of course, those weren't Edward's concerns—the things in the store were pretty practical anyway, and the shelves were six or seven rows, which was quite large in the dark. It's just that the things here still can't escape the shackles of small business, and most of them pack up some gadgets suitable for battle, and most of the rich people like Edward are already unsightly.

So, Edward just casually looked at the magical luster on it and picked a few.

A fist-sized sphere, made up of dozens of transparent, glass-like spheres, each reflecting a flash of fire from the depths.

As soon as this thing says the appropriate code language, it will immediately spread out and rotate around each other. Then, when the user designates a target, all the spheres will fly to the designated location and cause a large explosion within twenty or thirty feet. This explosion is very powerful, almost equivalent to a powerful fireball spell cast by a high-level mage, and most practically, it is not an ordinary consumable item, although it can only be used once a day, but it can be used repeatedly. After the explosion, the glass beads will fly back. The effect is really good.

Then there was a three-year-long, gray-painted mahogany scepter with a spiral groove scraped into the top.

"I said, 'That'...... Edward. ”

While he was casually flipping through the checks, the half-elf quietly came to his side, glanced at Dahni, who had already walked to the other side of the shelf, and lowered her voice: "You came to the Dark Region this time, do you really plan to gather those drows?"

"Well...... Edward narrowed his eyes and tapped his chin with his scepter.

He actually came to the Dark Realm for a lot of purposes this time.

First of all, the first one is to find a safe place to give the stone elemental zuò a charge point - this elemental creature that can resist a ** master head-on, as long as he recovers all his abilities, he wants to deal with Elena...... The blazing god on his body, and the birdmen. I was a little more sure.

And the second purpose. It's about trying to master as many abilities as possible and finding soulsuckers.

Relatively speaking, the task given to him by the spider queen is the most dispensable one - this spider queen Xià doesn't know if she has lived in the abyss for a long time and has been infected with some legendary demons, or the gods have never had a concept of time, anyway, she didn't give Edward a specific execution time at all and didn't have an exact value, it is estimated that it may be that Edward led people to a certain number before she could really think of it. Have another contact with this mortal.

In fact, this spider queen is extremely relieved that even the task has been explained. Just gave a sacrificial blade, said two unclear words, and ran away directly, and that sacrificial blade, of course, is a good treasure, with divine energy attached, but no matter how Edward tries to find a way, he can't open the slightest ability,

There's no way he's going to run to the drow himself, it's not the cities on the surface. You can preach at the stake without having to be burned at the stake, Rose has never had a believer like an apostle, only a priestess of a high-ranking family has the qualifications to preach, a human man to preach. There are only a few options for a life, broken bones, and broken bones and ashes.

But in the short term, the Drow will certainly be a good ally, so a viable entry point must be thought of.

"Are you really going to help them fight back against the mainland......? You're not a good person, though......"

The Psychic Mancer's Silence. The little girl was a little anxious: "However, aren't you afraid that after those people die, the responsibility will be on you?

"Guilty or not, is it so easy to calculate?" Edward smiled, and quietly controlled the voice around him, "Do you think that compared to the dark elves, who is more powerful than the elves?

“...... No, definitely not. Miss Lisa nodded

"But why were they so scary before?"

“...... Because, because they ran away after the fight, hiding in the dark region, the knights or something, they couldn't fight them head-on, if they went underground, they would be killed......" The half-elf tilted his head and said: "The dark region is to them what the forest is to the elves......"

"yes, that's it. So, if they're going to attack the ground, what's the first thing to do?"

"They will build a city on the ground first, and then ......" The little girl thought for a while, and then shouted: "I know! They build a city on the ground, at least in a relatively shallow place in the dark area, the advantage is gone, and humans can attack if they want to, and after the city is built, it will be easier for the people in that vicinity to defend against them, because they can predict their route, and they also know where the danger area is, and they can even directly destroy them!"

"So, once they get to the ground, they're dead, aren't they?" the little girl chuckled, like a little fox who had stolen an egg:

Edward smiled.

Of course, that's not all. The so-called small and big must have an advantage in other aspects, at least a few levels of science and technology, otherwise how can it really succeed?

In fact, in his memory, the so-called confrontation between small countries and big countries usually has a very low success rate, only a certain great man of the ages is empty, and likes to use it as a slogan to make everyone laugh and laugh, and there are a few small places that like to shout indiscriminately, but that is only to say local battles...... And those who dare to say such things must have a powerful godfather behind them.

What is war? That is to fight for money, population, food, and production...... The combat power of the dark elves is indeed stronger than that of humans, and every time they harvest, they have to kill a hundred and ten people...... But it was against the peasants, and if they ran into knights and mages, would they have the strength to win the battle? Even in mountain warfare, humans could still cooperate and gain an advantage through strategy, otherwise, the population was larger than Drow, and the elves who were good at bows and arrows would not have withdrawn from the stage of the continent.

What's more, dark elves are born with an insurmountable disadvantage, they live longer than humans, but their fertility is extremely low - a woman with six or seven children is already a prolific mother, but this mother has a lifespan of more than six hundred years, on average. When Drow gave birth to four generations, humans gave birth to at least twenty generations, and even if humans died relatively quickly, their number increased several times in a short period of time!

But doesn't Rose know this?

It is estimated that he knows that as a god, his wisdom is far-reaching and beyond that of human beings. Even if she was suspected of madness, it was not enough to ignore these superficial questions.

But what can be done? The living conditions in the dark areas are harsh and resources are limited. It is not conducive to hoarding at all, and the god domain of the spider queen is a murder plot. Most of the population can only be gradually consumed when they get together, and there are not enough people, where does she get her faith? Without faith, there will be no growth in divine power, so what is there to talk about revenge?

So in fact, this is an unsolvable problem, and from the time Rose was sent to the Dark Regions, the outcome was almost doomed.

Almost, of course.

If Rose really had some ideas. In fact, there is still a little room for choice, there are many inaccessible places on the mainland, if the drow can be divided into small groups and establish a base in those barren mountains and wilderness, human beings may not be able to specifically eliminate them for a while.

Shrill footsteps. Edward stopped thinking.

He frowned as he stared at the group of people who were walking into the store.

At the head was a priestess dressed in gray robes, her proud head half hidden in the shadow of her hood, her dark adamantite chain mail intricately decorated, and the high heels of her feet rattling lightly on the rocky floor, extremely aggressive. Behind her was a tall shadow covered by a full-body robe, so tightly obscured that even the two exposed hands were carefully wound with thin bandages. Then, there is a small group of outstanding men and horses, showing off their might.

"Who is she?" Edward's brow furrowed, and he casually pulled a dwarf clerk.

She ...... She was the third priestess of the Broza family. The Obroza family was the most prominent family in Hanseatic Tillen...... "The dwarf was held by the collar by a man half as tall as himself, and his feet did not touch the ground, and his face was panicked, as if he was afraid that the priestess had heard something, but Edward and his party, as the great patrons, did not want to be offended." So I could only whisper as much as possible: "She should have come to pick up the magic items that were custom-made before." ”

Letting go of the hapless dwarf, Edward lowered his gaze.

It seems that it is necessary to test it.

"Stop!"

I don't know if it was a wish, or if it was a shuffle of Lady Luck - as the group walked out of the store, a warrior-like guy dutifully stopped them.

This is a drow, not tall, a chain armor on his body is torn, but his body is quite strong, he stared, looked at several people, and put his other hand on the hilt of the scimitar at his waist: "I haven't seen you." Are you a new merchant? Come with me, you have to register...... Remove your spells, mage, hand over the spellcasting material pockets, scrolls, staffs, and a qiē related to spell casting, according to the laws of Hansa Tillen......, spells are not allowed in the city!

Edward frowned, not interested in talking nonsense with them at all, but nodded slightly.

Claudia, who was standing behind him, had already walked over, picked up the hapless fool and the four or five men behind him like a chicken, and threw them directly into the street like balls—the psychic explosion had already turned these hapless people into nerds, powerless to resist.

So the chaotic shouting and scolding quickly disappeared, and the surrounding Qiē was in order - in the dark area, fighting, blackmail, such things would happen ten times a day eight times, Zhuoer was born noble, but the powerful existence zài is the law, this point will never be questioned.

And with the help of the spiritual forehead on his forehead, Edward's gaze has always stayed in the shop.

To be precise, it was the tall figure that stayed behind the priestess.

Although the cloak on that guy's body was tightly entangled, not a trace of skin was exposed, and even the cloak had a layer of shadow powder unique to the dark elves, covering the last bit of flaw, but Edward's gaze was different from ordinary people, no matter what kind of darkness, shadow, magic darkness, could not hide his eyes that had been strengthened by royal power.

So he could see that the guy's body, the part of the jaw, was definitely blue!

And on the part of the body, although the rocks are blocked, if you look closely, you will find some unnatural folds, and they are also slightly swimming, which is the tentacles on the mouthparts, which are characteristic of the spirit absorbing monsters!

"That's right. It was supposed to be a psionic monster. The Spirit Crystal Servant slowly climbed out of Edward's neckline and nodded slightly, "However, how are you going to deal with it?"

"Can you draw him out?"

"The psionic monsters are very cautious, and if you want to capture them alive, you have to find a way to play a comeback when he has the advantage, which is not easy. It seems that the Spirit Crystal Servant can't provide more and better construction, after all, in its cognition, the race of its maker is almost perfect, and in the end, it can only kick the mind back to Edward: "Fortunately, ordinary Spirit Suck monsters will have some weaknesses, for example, they can use Psychic Blasts infinitely, so they usually use them often in order to save psionic energy...... And you're going to use that stuff too, so you know what's wrong with it. Anyway, as long as you catch a spirit sucker and get it back, you're halfway there. ”

Halfway?

...... It's strange, in fact, there may not even be a fraction, although the psionic monsters can be claimed to be the masters of psionic energy, and even the ancestors of psionic energy, but after all, none of them are as lucky as Edward, they can use an auxiliary brain dedicated to releasing psionic energy, so most psionic monsters can only palm dozens of psionic energy, and then remove the duplicate parts, and there are only a few left. In this way, it is necessary to compare and sift through the parts of his book.

And for the sake of future ability, Edward must have to hunt for more octopus heads, the spiritual energy above level six, according to the spirit crystal servant, many of them can change the situation in a single shot, referring to the original old spiritual energy information in his hand, Edward is naturally impossible to let go of these high-level things.

His gaze narrowed for a moment - in his field of vision, the guy was obviously attracted to something, and slowly stepped forward...... (To be continued......)
