Chapter 562: Outsiders break into the city
"Hiss......"
The bald-headed Drow let out a loud gasp, and even rubbed his eyes to make sure if he had seen something wrong, of course, at least as a drow, his shiny head was not as big as it had grown in vain, so he instantly understood that this qiē was caused by the few humans in front of him. To be precise, it was caused by one person.
Drow Knights' vehicles are usually the most well-trained, and they will not lose control even against vicious foes such as the Dreadclaw, and will be able to scatter them in the blink of an eye......
The bald drow suppressed the incredible fear in his heart—power is like the worst dwarf that will cling to someone at any time...... So even humans who have always been weak in Drow's impression can also have terrifying powers, such as mages and the like. Or maybe their strength is not overwhelming, but it is certainly enough for a warrior leader of a lower-level family guarding the city gate.
"Of course, of course, I beg your pardon, I'm just unhappy with this stupid subordinate, and believe me doesn't mean anything else. ”
Whether it's obedience to the priestess or the family, at the end of the day, the Drow are just obeying the power—the most fundamental thing that the Drow call the rules are the most fundamental bare thing, so after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he waved his hand impatiently, and the mace of the adamantite mace rattled a goblin's head three times around the shoulder, and then hung down at a strange angle all the way to the navel.
The unfortunate bastard, who didn't have long eyes, helped somewhat, at least the smell of blood sobered everyone up, and all the inferior creatures were silent as far as Drow's dark red vision could see. The knights finally controlled their mounts, and the surroundings were so quiet that even the sound of water drops falling to the ground could be heard clearly.
So Drow the Bald turned his gaze and spoke in a respectful tone, "Of course, we welcome all travelers. However, you may need to go through some simple formalities before you can enter the city. ”
"Can this save you from all this tediousness?" a calm voice from under the black robe drew the bald gaze, and then immediately turned into small and large eyes.
Reflected in his red pupils was a metal emblem, the eight-legged spider was lifelike, even each fluff seemed to be finely carved, and the appearance of teeth and claws seemed to be about to jump out of it, which also made the bald drow's voice immediately lower: "Of course...... Well, of course, please, please ......"
Waving his hand to drive away the few subordinates who came up, he nodded and personally led a few people forward......
Of course, he wouldn't say that he didn't recognize which family the badge belonged to at all. However, the guy who dared to take out such a delicate - most importantly with a badge with the image of a spider in a drow city naturally could not be some kind of inferior human scum, and it should be enough to deduce his identity by linking it to the person's appearance just now.
A certain family, and it's an ally of a big family in the human world, a subordinate, or something else, anyway, it's not something that a small character like himself can entertain lightly. But it doesn't matter, my task should be to take them through the lower town, and try to give them a better impression, maybe to offset a little bit of the roar that I have just become accustomed to.
Passed through a long passage. The qiē in front of him suddenly became different.
"That's a big deal. ”
Seeing this scene for the first time, the female sword saint couldn't help but open her mouth in admiration, and even whistled lightly - a huge cave was reflected in her eyes, and the low ends of huge stone stalactites hanging up and down the ceiling of the cave were flowing like a rainbow.
In fact, it wasn't just her, everyone was a little moved at this moment, including Edward, who had been to this place once or twice in the early days of the city's construction, but what was presented in front of him now was very different from what he remembered. The intricate tunnels had disappeared and been replaced by a wider space, the other end of which was even hidden in the hazy darkness from the direction in which everyone was standing.
"Yes, magnanimity, ma'am, it can even be called a miracle, even in the whole dark realm, it is rare...... Because the spider queen sent down her messenger, it took only two ten days to build such a city with a population of more than 30,000 people. ”
The human amazement made the bald man smug and spoke, but he quickly shut his mouth.
"With the help of the power of the Abyss Demon? ”
Rome was not built in a day, but in the world of magic this sentence is not very common, it is not a miracle to build a city in dozens of days or even ten days, Edward's Burgundy was built in only ten days, and if it is Edward today, with the help of earth elemental creatures and the power of the core of the city, he can even build a larger city that can accommodate more than 100,000 people in a few hours.
So, he was concerned with another question: "How many people are there here now?"
"Number of people...... I don't know very well, Your Excellency, there are already more than a hundred families here, well, I heard that there are still some on the way, and in a few days there will be two hundred families here, and even in the dark region, there is no city that can be established so quickly, of course, ......"
Edward narrowed his eyes and omitted the nonsense behind the bald man.
Although the Drow families are large and small, the large ones may have a size of one or two thousand, and the small ones are only a few dozen, including minions, but generally speaking, a mixture of a dozen families is enough to gather a few thousand people—which is already a large number in the Dark Regions—to become a small city, and the number of ordinary city families is only about sixty to eighty, and more than one hundred and fifty is already a rare big city.
It seems that he did underestimate Rose's confidence and patience.
"Are the drows here returning to the surface?"
Villarian raised her eyebrows in surprise, the female swordmaster always seemed to be surprisingly antagonistic in some aspects - such as calm and impatient, confused and shrewd: "Edward, no wonder you came here in a hurry, but, given this scale, I'm afraid you can't stop anything, right?, if they come out, do you want us to help you?"
"Schadenfreude is not the quality of a noble lady, Miss Vilarian. Also, they can hear and understand what you say. Miss Half-Elf replied in place of the contemplative Psychic Warlock, a little impatient—almost instinctively hostile to the woman who had suddenly come to Edward's side while she was praying.
Especially that damn mature...... Staring at the delicate and convex figure that the female swordmaster couldn't even hide with a cloak, Miss Half-Elf's eyes were almost half glacier and half flame.
The bald Drow shrunk his neck, as if he wanted to twitch his ears to show his innocence, and quickly changed the subject: "Well, this, a few people, because it has just been built, there is some lack of order here, if there is any offense, I hope a few of you don't mind." And since you may be here for the first time, I caution against any nobles with family crests, or women...... Collision, in short, please bear with their actions. Coughing dryly, he said, "And, if you don't mind so much, can I ask which one you are going to find?"
"Daherne Fiblanche, the head mother of the First Family. ”
"The first master, the abyss is below, ......"
The little girl rushed to say the name so that the bald Zhuoer swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and only after half a sound did he respond with difficulty: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I can't help you much, you probably don't know, we members of the small family can't get close to ...... Ah, that's rude, you didn't need our effectiveness in the first place, haha, haha......"
By this time, they had entered the place known as the Lower Town, which was invariably crowded with trolls, kobolds, minotaur goblins, and the strong smell of their bodies—a few drow low-ranking samurai under the bald men brandished leather whips to make a way between them, but the smell of the fishy smell was unpleasant.
But compared to the next taste, those are as gentle as a breeze.
Just as the crowd approached the stalagmite city wall that divided the upper and lower cities, a terrible fishy wind swept in, and three huge spiders appeared—the more common sense was huge, each the size of a round table, with an oval buttocks, and a bony protrusion on its back, and its eight legs were like sharp blades, faintly emitting a faint cold light!
"Sword spider?"
Villarian drew her sword almost subconsciously, but luckily the Psychic reached out and held her down before that—so swift that it seemed to read her thoughts, and the Swordmaster couldn't help but look sideways.
"Stop, lowly male, and those outsiders! this is not a place where you inferior beings can come close!" A voice full of arrogance, along with the figure of a woman, surprisingly there were several priests doing the job of guards: "What do you want to do?"
"These Excellencies have come to find Daherne Fiblanche, the First Mother of the House. The bald man fell to his knees respectfully and addressed the priestess.
"Fiblanche, First Family?" the word "The First Family?" the word "Flanche" Female Drow's face froze, but then a higher sneer rang out: "What's that, is there a family with this name in the city......?
The sneer was long and high-pitched, like a poisonous snake screaming before spewing venom, but this overly smug look made her ignore the few in front of her, the human expression to be exact.
The Psychic pursed his lips, hiding his face in the shadow of his hood, only the silver luster in his pupils revealed the shadows, as sharp and cold as a blade.
Fiblanche doesn't exist zài?
Of course, it is impossible for the family that first constructed this city not to exist, and even if it is impatient with the subordinates, it is impossible for a drow to tell such a lie that will bring disaster to him...... But there may be another possibility, leading to the birth of this state of affairs.
Authority: In the world of the Dark Elves, there is no word more important than that. This is the strongest motive force in their religion, the power to tug at the heartstrings of hunger and thirst. Ambition overrides acts of compassion and kindness, and this qiē evil deed is carried out in the name of the spider god Queen Rose. The ascension to power was paved by a series of assassinations.
The failed family has only one way to destroy it, and since then there will be no zài at all, and all the drow will quickly forget it, and all its traces will be completely erased from history.
"Are you sure so? No Fiblanche?"
In the shadows under the hood, the voice came out cold and calm. But at this moment, dozens of pairs of eyes subconsciously turned to stare at the human face that was half covered by the hood.
The bald drow was the first ...... At that moment, he seemed to feel dozens of sharp adamantite scimitars approaching his back, and the terrible chill almost paralyzed him, while on the other side, the three sword spiders screamed furiously for a moment, and the instinct of the creatures caused them to retreat at the first moment.
"Despicable human! Who do you think you're talking to?, the eldest daughter of the Philon family......"
The pet's anomalous expression startled the sneering priestess, and then became angry at the almost questioning tone - Drow's xenophobic notions were extremely strong, and the rule of female respect was unshakable, and the eldest daughter of a family, even a second-rate family who could not set foot in the inner city, was not something that a human passer-by could despise.
With her shout, a group of drow standing at the gate of the city drew their weapons!
But not for the sake of momentum.
The priestess's shrill voice suddenly muted, and she raised her head, her hands clutching her neck, and her legs stomped on the gravel on the ground, as if she were dancing or twitching...... Or more of the latter, because in an instant her dark brown skin was already red, her eyes were rolling, but she involuntarily soared into the air—as if an invisible giant hand had grabbed her neck and lifted it up effortlessly!
The first to react to this fact was one of the Drow guarding the gate, a mage, but he had only just raised his hand when the human had already raised his head and looked at him before the fireball spell could freeze between his fingers.
Then the Drow mage opened his eyes in despair, only to feel as if his soul had been crushed by a heavy blow for a moment, and then he fell to the ground with a muffled 'thud', and was silent again.
As for the drow who wielded knives and guns, Miss Villarien only raised her hand, seemingly lightly, with a one-handed wave.
Then the blood flowers that rushed to the sky suddenly jumped up!
With just one sword, four or five heads broke away from their bodies, and after they landed, they rolled out like watermelons, and the three-headed sword spiders screamed in unison...... Let them fall to the ground before they even have time to struggle!
"Well, answer me, what's going on in the city?" Edward's voice was calm, and only a twitching smile on his lips could show some of his affection.
"No, I don't know ......"
The voice roared like thunder in the ears of the hapless victim, kneading her brain and forcibly squeezing out the answer: "I don't know...... I don't know the decision of the council!"
"Bow and arrows!
This qiē was actually only born in a few breaths, and at this time, more drows seemed to have finally appeared here, so with a light rebuke, the sound of the bowstring flicking and the sharp noise of the arrows cutting through the air merged, like a mountain and a tsunami!
Arrows slammed down like locusts on the human who did not know whether to live or die.
The drow's special repeating crossbow is extremely exquisite, the accuracy and strength are far from ordinary ordinary short bows, and the poison attached to it can kill humans within an hourglass scale as long as it breaks through a piece of oily skin!
It's a pity that the thoughts are slightly moving, and the spiritual power weaves a layer of semi-physical concealment around the human race. The sound of sneering was incessant, but in the end it was nailed to the concealment membrane and fell to the ground with a crackling sound, forming a hollow circle half a five-foot square circle on the ground, and the pitch-black arrow feathers still swayed gently from the huge impact, as if weeds half a foot long had grown on the ground in an instant. But it didn't hurt the humans, not even the bald head who collapsed to the side!
This terrifying sight made all the drows take a breath of cold air. The power of the repeating crossbow was enough to pierce through the solid granite of the ground, but the man's defenses were clearly far beyond the stone.
Then, without warning, the drows, who were hundreds of feet away, died.
Countless spikes suddenly burst out from the ground and slammed into their armor with unmatched force, and on the shield, the warrior's defense was directly broken, and then just as the warrior staggered back with the deformed shield, the second round of spikes had already lifted this sturdy subway board from an even more bizarre place and slashed through the chests of these unlucky guys!
The solid breastplate didn't work at all, and the steel was pierced in the screams. Pulling straight from the chest to the edge of the abdomen, bright red liquid gushes out, and the colorful intestines flow directly out of the body. Blood gushed and threw him onto the rock wall with a muffled thud,
To be continued.
