Chapter Eighty-Seven: Darkness

Of course, David couldn't have changed his schedule in order to find an Artilicia teacher.

Even this Artilicia teacher really had a big impact on the speed of his first pot of gold accumulation.

It's just that before leaving, the Silver Grand Duke's somewhat inexplicable plea for him still made David a little confused.

That is. Why was the Silver Guild sure that it would meet the Attilician priest on the way home, and let itself stop him from doing something stupid'?

But think about the fact that the other party is a high elf who has lived for centuries without knowing it, and it is not uncommon for him to be able to use the spells of the prophecy school with both hands, such as [divination], [prophecy] or something.

But whether it is the [Divination] of the Four Rings, or the [Prophecy], or other prophetic spells in this world, under the interference of the torrent of time, they cannot give a 100% accurate answer, but are short, ambiguous, and need to guess and understand by themselves.

This is also the reason why many casters of the prophecy school who know how to divinate with both hands are often called gods and are not welcomed.

It's just what kind of thing would be called stupid by the Silver Grand Duke?

David, who had just reproduced the sobering potion in one day and steadily improved its quality in the next half a month, suddenly patted his head and thought of a possibility:

That is to say, could it be that Master Artilicia really mistook him for the one in ten thousand alchemical geniuses, so that even if he abandoned his reputation, he would forcibly 'kidnap' him back on his way back and accept him as a closed disciple?

"Thinking about it like this, he really has the possibility of directly attacking me!"

[Arrogance]

Just thinking of the image of the effeminate and weak priest of Artilisia pretending to be calm and pretending to be a robber.

The somewhat incompatible style of painting made David want to laugh a little.

Because although this Artilisian priest is a high-level mage who can cast the 7 rings [Manipulating the Celestial Phenomena], he really doesn't look like he can fight.

Since he crossed over, David can be regarded as having faced and even fought with many 'strong people'.

Whether it is the first Drow led by Siat, the ogre Manado later, the mountain barbarian Losinde, the high elf Evgeny, or the young emitter ronny Fardora.

Regardless of whether they are strong or weak, at least the feeling they give David as soon as they appear, that is, the so-called 'momentum' that he has seen in his previous life, is completely different.

Even the weakest ogre, Manado, at least gave David a rough, savage, bloody, but calm and furious coexistence.

As for who has brought him the most pressure, it must be the dragon mother Pafla who has just crossed over!

Back then, he almost didn't scare him so much that he fled directly from the Old Continent.

But David has never encountered a dragon more terrifying than the momentum of the dragon mother Pavla, and he is not even worthy of lifting her shoes.

Therefore, according to David's assessment, even if the Attilician priest is indeed a high-level mage and a young silver dragon, as an expert in the field of potions, his positive combat power is estimated to rely on high-ring spells to bully warriors like Siat and Evgeny who need to close their distances to create deadly threats.

As for whether or not he can restrain the bullying, Locinde, a super-sized barbarian who has been given [Endless Anger] by himself and has been personally witnessed and blessed by the other four dragons and even the five-colored dragon queen Tiamat, is in two words.

So it's really not that David despises Attilicia Priest.

Even if this is due to the fact that the other party is also a young silver dragon, try to overestimate its combat power, probably, it should be at the level of Nimphadora, who is also a young green dragon.

The premise is to ignore the scheming of this emerald dragon comparable to Drow, and its special ability to fight these points.

As soon as he thought of this, David became inexplicably confident.

"If Priest Artilithia really dares to intercept me halfway, hehe, then don't blame me for taking you directly back to the Dragon's Lair camp in the Old World. ’

"It just so happens that the young dragons in the Dragon's Lair camp are still short of a spell teacher. ’

He thought that Pastor Arttilicia might not be able to do anything else, but he should still be quite good at teaching and nurturing dragons.

Turning back and taking the time to teach him alchemy together, it can be regarded as fulfilling the wish of Pastor Artilicia to accept him as a disciple, isn't it?

As for the Grand Duke of Silver, although he also agreed to the other party's plea to persuade the priest of Artilisia to return to the territory, he did not say when he would return.

He wouldn't go too far, just. Just help teach in the Old World? Three? Or maybe five years.

Anyway, one of them is a silver dragon and the other is a high elf, and they are all long-lived species, and it is estimated that five years will be the feeling of an autumn for humans.

Maybe you can use the distance to let the two guys who don't know how long they have been entangled in their feelings enhance their relationship with each other.

It was such a happy decision.

It wasn't until David and the group walked into the passage to the dark region that they didn't find the priest of Atilisia.

Let David, who has already beaten the abacus back to the face of the dragon mother in the old continent, feel sorry.

In order to make this transaction go more smoothly, he once again changed himself back to his original posture through the power of [jealousy] -

A red dragon with special triceratops wings.

After all, this is a dark region, and they are going to the infamous Spider's Nest City, an acropolis.

It's a position where both sides of the deal can let their guard down a bit.

But if he passes with a 'righteous and kind' silver dragon, it doesn't matter if the trading party will flee directly.

It's that most of the dark species in the dark region are likely to move when they hear the wind, and then attack them in groups.

As for the lonely daughters of Spider Nest City, it is estimated that they will have a collective fever.

No matter how much it costs, he has to take his 'silver dragon' back to help him grow seedlings and then use them for breeding.

The High Elves may also be afraid of the threat from Dragon Island, after all, they are also the representative forces on the surface, whether it is reputation, business and relationships, they have to weigh it more or less.

But what is Drow?

Rats crossing the street are not enough to describe.

For example, when Theats were on the surface or even in the Old World, they might not dare to provoke a silver young dragon, after all, it was likely that they would be destroyed before they could even get out of the Old Continent after they provoked them.

But where is this?!

This is the territory of their drow elves, the Dark Realm.

It's deep underground in Glenyere, the New World.

and the bustling High Elf civilization, it seems to be a mirror image of each other.

David: They had just gone deep underground through a tunnel that Siat had led them into, and when the darkness finally opened up in front of them, it wasn't the feeling of 'another village'.

The first thing I felt was an extreme darkness and silence.

The smell of mushrooms and decaying soil permeates the surroundings, with occasional fishy stench and sour and spicy notes.

What you see is a vast underground world.

Twisting caves, narrow passages, and steep cliffs form a sinister underground labyrinth.

In some places, glowing mushrooms and fluorescent stones emit a faint glow that illuminates the way forward, while others are engulfed by the dark abyss, and the darkness is invisible.

It's a completely strange world, full of strange creatures, from the eyes peeking out diagonally from the cracks in the stones, to the flickering figures in the labyrinthine passages, to the strange creatures covered in scales or hair, appearing and disappearing like ghosts and undead.

Relying on the dragon's innate dark vision, Davy had only some novelty, even clearer and more detailed than his vision in the daylight on the surface.

As for the two Drows of Syatt, it was like returning home after a long absence, even if this home was not so nostalgic for Drow.

Only Losinde, a barbarian, was a little miserable.

Although David has been transformed into a dragon family through an ascension ceremony, he still has to be blind when he reaches a completely dark place.

Fortunately, he was accompanied by an obedient winter wolf, and at this time he became a guide dog for barbarians.

Otherwise, following the sturdy but light steps all the way, the Red Dragon Lord and the Drow who were like big cats would have made a few detours, and most of them would have become missing persons.

Xu was affected by David's greed and eagerness to get rich, and the two Drows, who also knew how much the [anger mixture] on their bodies were worth, did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Therefore, everyone did not have the slightest desire to communicate along the way, and as soon as they entered the dark region, they went straight in the direction of Spider's Nest City.

This kind of reckless, even somewhat arrogant and rampant way of rushing in the dark region, if you change the lineup, it is estimated that you have 'encountered the enemy' dozens of times along the way.

But these underground creatures who are going to sneak up on them.

Either he just smelled the faint dragon power on David, who was a red dragon, and froze in place;

Either they saw it and followed by two drows, so they scolded and took a detour;

Or maybe he was not afraid of a red young dragon or the hard stubble of two drows, but when he was about to make a move, David, who was aware of it in advance, glared at him with his [greedy] eyes, and then left with his tail between his legs.

It wasn't David who saw through their stealth or disguise.

It's that these guys are usually very sharp.

So much so that in the moment before they started, David was able to nip the impending attack in the bud directly through a near-'prophecy' method.

After traveling all the way for less than three days, David and the others arrived at the destination where the previous Attilician priest had been groping and fighting for half a month.

The stronghold of Elaria Drow's elves, Drogasim's Spider's Hair.

In the distance, an eerie group of black and white cities stands proudly, like a city that eats goodness at the edge of the world, spread its cobwebs.

From so far away, you can see the magnificent and creepy spider temple in the center of the city-state, the silver-white spider colossus in the temple stands, surrounded by strange blue-purple flames, and the depths of the temple are filled with a fog that never dissipates, and from time to time there are creepy low roars and screams.

It's just that David: What they're going to today is not the dangerous Spider's Nest, but the Acropolis, or the stronghold that extends beyond a corner of Spider's Nest.

Compared to the chaotic but imposing Spider's Nest, the streets of this acropolis stronghold are curved and narrow, as if they are entangled in giant spider webs, and the buildings are tall and eerie, with black and white stone paved with rose's obscene symbols and decorations, as well as glittering silver ornaments made of drow elven skills.

As soon as you step into the drow acropolis, you will be greeted by a delicious fragrance mixed with bodily fluids.

The former is the smell of psychedelic incense that the drow abuses on a daily basis.

If an ordinary person with an immune system that does not have any resistance to toxins comes in, just smelling the residual smell in the air, I am afraid that a series of symptoms such as allergies, rapid heartbeat, rash, dizziness, and nausea will begin.

But David only shrunk his nostrils and snorted, muttering:

"It's worthy of your Zall home, this AQI (air quality index) is afraid to explode directly."

[Arrogance]

Theat, who was leading the way, looked a little embarrassed, although she didn't know what the aqi in her master's mouth meant, but the disdain and disgust that could not be concealed were about to come out.

It's just that stupid mage, half a month ago, he tried to compare Spider's Nest City with the splendid territory of the Silver Grand Duke.

"Master, please come here, the connector in charge of receiving the goods is here."

"Are you sure they're going to eat this batch?" David was a little troublesome and just wanted to make money as soon as possible.

So even if the unit price is a little lower for this, he can accept it.

The only requirement is to eat all the goods he brought this time at one time, and pay in cash, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

Drow jumped onto Mage's shoulder, stepped on the mage's head and stood on tiptoe, pressed against David's fins and whispered:

"This is one of Councillor Dragosin, one of the strongholds of Flavia's Mother family.

"With her family, it is absolutely delicious.

"The only concern is that we are going to ship this time.

"It's a bit much."
