The crisis of the Astral Pirates' siege of Furan-2 is temporarily resolved by the "Super Astral Merchant" mode, and the mission of Donal and his party has also entered the next stage - trying to reach a trade agreement with the Queen of Light of the Dark Elves.

As a result, the two and the frigates sailed into Ethan and anchored at the sad anchor in the center of the Jorhas Wasteland, and formed a caravan to Rosona, the capital of the Bright Court, with a population of 110,000.

As for Chen Zhou, who is more difficult to enter Aisan Shiya than before...... It remains in the Star Boundary, staying in the carrier-based aircraft to act as an artificial satellite to provide support.

Small magic ships are also easier to escape when they encounter danger.

However, when encountering real danger, Chen Zhou would definitely be more inclined to speed up after the rapid outbreak, pick up the anti-magic field, suppress all non-transmission methods, and teleport away.

But this trick may not be of much use to the High Elf who will come to meet him in three days......

……

A day later, the caravan led a group of former Astral Pirate staff into the confines of Rosona City.

Tall, soft spires and beautiful buildings rise from the shards of the Calamity, crystal halls are made of glass and quartz to emit a soft green-purple glow, and the characteristic Drow gardens invite people to linger, bringing together Drow, goblins, gray dwarves, orcs, underground gnomes, and more.

Such a beautiful and typical elven-style city was ruined by the lingering shadows over the city for several kilometers.

It was the handiwork of the Archmages of Drow.

Powerful arcane spells out the sunlight over the region, causing the city of Rossona to cycle regularly with shadows and regular weather.

According to the Drow merchant who traveled with the C caravan, this was due to the fact that most of the underground races in the city were unable to adapt to the harsh sunlight.

Underground races are very sensitive to sunlight, and if exposed to it for more than 12 hours, they are prone to health problems such as diseases and allergies, and in severe cases, it may even affect mental health.

"It's also very difficult for the underground races to live on the surface." Donal couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and he also admired this group of drow who pursued light.

The Joryas Wasteland is a fortress for the rebels of yesteryear as they roamed the earth, and a central point in the battle of Calamity.

Rosona's predecessor, Gul-Dranath, means the place of shadows in the language of dragons, and the castle of Vikzur in its center means a dark fortress in the language of purgatory.

During the battle, most of the city was reduced to dust, towers were destroyed, and the ground cracked, devouring the legions of the betrayers.

Eventually, the surviving Kling clan, Drow, led the tribe out of the underground, believing in the original Yolaksan, and rebuilding the city in the ashes after the Calamity War.

Today, Rossona is the epicenter of a powerful Kling society and a symbol of the repurposing of a dark past.

However, in addition to the Kling family, there are 11 other large families of Drow who have also become the rulers of the city.

These aristocratic families all wanted to one day rule the dynasty like Lyras Kling, the Queen of Light, and were engaged in a political game that lasted for centuries.

Political, business, inventive, reformed, planted, extorted, poisoned, assassinated, violent, and contested for spiritual or military leadership, the Drow head was constantly on the lookout for the weaknesses of other families and took radical action at the slightest opportunity.

Of course, since their purpose is to show the strength and loyalty of the family in front of the Queen of Light and fight their own opponents, these large and small disputes are usually not laid out in plain sight.

"If you don't find out, it doesn't happen...... It sounds like an old tradition from the Drow."

Jerry suddenly felt that after Zhuoer believed in the light, it didn't seem to make much difference?

"Ahem, it's not as serious as I said."

Drow merchant Ini Siyes awkwardly explains: "Laksan believes in peace, so violence and assassinations are not as frequent, and they are carried out in a superficial manner. ”

In order to avoid the disgust of the Queen of Light, the twelve Drow families usually do not do things to the end, but use them to suppress each other's face, prestige, and power.

The battle for face has become the main theme of this era.

Donal pondered, "Should I say it's outstanding......"

Instead of playing assassination, I will play palace fighting.

He really couldn't imagine the scene of this group of dark elves vying for power in "relative peace".

"What else could you do?" Ini smiled and shook her head, "The key figures of each family will be reincarnated in the Ritual of Light at the Laksan Lighthouse, which means that no family will be completely destroyed. ”

Elves who can reach up to 800 years old and the ritual of reincarnation make their palace fight a political game that can never be completely ended.

While some of the drows discovered that their souls were reborn into alien bodies after reincarnation, it also facilitated the convergence of the different races under the banner of the Kling dynasty.

"Reincarnation?"

Sensing the words of interest, Chen Zhou suddenly joined the topic.

Ini, who was already familiar with the situation, was not surprised: "It is a ritual that can only be performed at the original Laksan Lighthouse in the center of Rossona, which can reincarnate the dying into a new body, and can also awaken the memories of past lives. ”

Thanks to the Ritual of Light, which recalls memories of past lives, the Kling dynasty has become more diverse and thriving in the Jojäras wasteland.

"Sounds interesting, and I don't know what Lily's past life was? It's definitely not a dragon, could it be a goblin?"

"Maybe it's a small dried fish."

The Drow merchant said dumbly, "Except for the Twelve Families, only those who have made sufficient contributions to the Kling Dynasty can perform this kind of ritual. ”

However, the hammer from reality can't stop the carnival dragon's whims - just thinking about it anyway.

During the introduction of the companions, everyone finally arrived at Coronas, the lower town of Rossona.

The Outer Haunted Lands, the lower city of Coronas, the central district of Garimov, the Fortress of Clarity of the Court of Light, the Shadow County beneath the city, and the deepest dungeons of Confession make up this bizarre capital.

To outsiders, the city in a deep valley at the edge of the Realm of Light and Darkness is still the Dark Bastion, a city founded by the evil gods and their murderous descendants.

But in the eyes of many of Rosona's ethnic groups, it is just a home, a place of commerce, crime, worship and more.

At this point, Inni, who came from a family of twelve nobles, naturally could no longer walk with outsiders.

Her eyes eagerly watched the caravan of adventurers with abundant martial virtues, looking forward to what changes they would bring to this city of light and shadow from the astral plane.

But before leaving, Ini had one last request......

"Can you sell me a set of Snow Wind cards?"
