Warhammer Wizard

Chapter 675: Menzoberran

There is no exit or light source on the rock wall of the cave. Except for the teleportation array engraved on the ground, there is nothing else in the cave with a diameter of about ten meters. It seems to be completely closed.

The teammates judged from the weak air flow that there must be a hidden exit.

Before they could look for it, Raistlin's mirror image pointed to the wall in front of him. Everyone looked carefully and found a half-meter-long crack in the wall in the dark. It was so narrow that even fingers could not be inserted. The air was blown out from the crack, obviously leading to the outside.

"The exit is behind the wall?" Barack asked.

"There is no exit." Raistlin replied, "This cave was excavated by Kwesathan. You can only use magic to pass through this five-meter-thick rock wall."

While speaking, he opened an arbitrary door.

Everyone passed through the door and found themselves in a very ordinary cave, with a stone wall behind it, and the teleportation array was arranged inside the stone wall.

Such a hidden location, even the most sensitive person can't find it.

This made the teammates once again lament the superb skills of the caster.

Izt explored the road ahead, and after going through many detours, he found the exit of the cave and entered another larger cave. Looking at the vast subterranean forest in front of him, the dark elf had a look of joy on his face, "I've been here before, it's just east of Menzoberran City, not far away."

The teammates are all in high spirits.

Menzoberran may be the most dangerous place in the Underdark, and it should not be taken lightly.

"follow me."

Izzet continued to lead the way to the forest, and at the same time reminded in a low voice: "This road is one of the trade routes east of Menzoberran, and it is likely to encounter underground caravans, as well as Zhuo patrolling from the city. The cavalry, they are very hostile to outsiders on the surface, and they will capture and enslave them once they are found. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we had better avoid them in advance."

Everyone nodded to show their understanding.

With their strength, they are naturally not afraid to fight the drow, but they just don't want to disturb the ruler of Menzobrai so that they can act in the future.

The team quickly entered the forest. There was a paved road in the middle. It was more than ten meters wide.

"This is the Dark Forest, which belongs to the territory of Menzoberran."

Izzet identified the direction as he spoke, and then headed west.

After passing through the Darkswamp Forest, enter the other caves through a very wide tunnel.

The area of ​​several consecutive caves is very large, and the environment and resources are much better than the upper layers of the Underdark. They are either covered with forests, or there are abundant water flows, large fertile and flat land, and mushrooms and other food can be grown. Those dangerous Underground creatures are also cleared away, with little danger.

If it weren't for the dim light around and the suppressed "sky" overhead, this area would have looked no different from the surface.

Raistlin and the others were all stunned.

It is precisely because of the richness of this area that the dark elves will occupy the territory and build the largest city in the Underdark.

Izzet said that he has lived in the Underdark for hundreds of years, and he has never seen a better place than the surrounding area of ​​Menzoberran. There are more than a dozen dark elf cities throughout the Underdark, as well as ten or so gray dwarven cities, as well as hidden illithids, aboleths, or cities of other races, regardless of population, resources, and geographic environment. In all respects, it is not as good as Menzobrai.

The cities of the dark elves are governed by their own, which is a typical city-state system. If a huge drow kingdom can be formed, Menzobrai will definitely be the capital of the kingdom!

But this is almost impossible.

The drow cities often fight for resources, wealth, and slaves. The hatred between each other is stronger than the hatred of foreigners, just like the enemy of life and death.

After the group passed through several caves, they gradually saw figures.

Raistlin opened up the invisible force field in time, allowing his teammates to approach.

After approaching, everyone saw many slaves working on the land by the roadside, planting mushrooms, weeding, and irrigating. There were also slaves digging mines and digging caves. Slaves are of various races, night goblins, grey dwarves, stoneblinds, cavemen, kuo-toas, and grey dwarves.

Raistlin also saw humans, orcs, and Netivus, and there were even surface spirits.

Around each group of slaves, there were dark elf overseers, most of them were drow warriors. They shouted at the slaves, swung the black snake-head whip and beat them fiercely, leaving **** welts on the slaves. The screams of the slaves made the overseers laugh and seem to enjoy the pained wailing.

But it didn't sound so pleasant to Raistlin's five ears.

Daunsos looked sharp and lifted the mace.

"Don't worry about them."

Izzet stopped the savage priest's urge to take action and whispered: "Most drow are followers of the spider queen. They please the spider goddess in this way, but it will not be fatal to slaves. In Menzobrai, slaves are the most Valuable wealth, and if the slaves are killed by mistake, they will also be severely punished."

Athena looked away, "No wonder you left Menzobrai."

"I didn't leave, I escaped." Izt's mood was low, "Dark elves have a strict social hierarchy, and the spider queen belief is like an invisible web, binding every drow, pulling us a little bit. Falling into the darkness, only a few lucky ones can escape the clutches."

Barack sighed, and took two quick steps to pat him on the shoulder as a sign of consolation to his friend.

The dark elf returned a grateful look.

Suddenly, Raistlin looked ahead of the road, and Izzet was only half a second later, looking in the direction of Menzoberran.

"There are cavalry soldiers here," Raistlin said.

"It's the Grey Lizard cavalry." Izzet listened carefully for a few seconds and confirmed, "About twenty people, they are the patrols of Menzobrai."

Raistlin retreated to the side of the road and focused on maintaining the invisible force field, enveloping his teammates.

Soon, the ground shook slightly, and a group of cavalrymen ran along the road and approached. They were twenty giant lizards about five meters in length. Their skin and scales were like gray rocks, their limbs were flexible, and they dragged a thick tail. , running close to the ground, very fast.

These gray lizards are unique creatures in the Underdark. When they were in the upper floors, Raistlin and others encountered a few nests and easily eliminated them.

The Eye of Soul saw that this group of gray lizards were all middle-level demon beasts, and they were completely tamed.

Each grey lizard carries a dark elf on its back, wearing tight leather armor, a long sword or machete hanging from its waist, and a bow and arrow on its back. It is the most common drow warrior dress.

More than half of the twenty grey lizards were women, which was not common on the surface.

Dark elves are a matriarchal society, and female drow have absolute dominance. They occupy occupations such as mages, priests, and patriarchs. The higher the class, the higher the proportion of women. And male drows are only servants or playthings of women. Unless they are extremely talented, men are not allowed to learn spells. Even if they have great strength, they can only be female slaves, and their status is slightly higher than that of lowly slaves.

Half a minute later, the gray lizard cavalry was already in front of him.

The leader was a high-level female drow warrior, with dark skin and a bumpy figure, but she couldn't hide the cruel aura revealed all over her body. Her eyes were like poisonous snakes, causing the male drow around her to subconsciously stay away and dare not touch her gaze.

The slaves working in the distance didn't even dare to look at them, and those overseers also restrained their arrogance.

Raistlin saw the fire of faith in her soul, burning like a torch, full of blood, darkness, and evil, and the negative aura was comparable to that of an abyss demon.

She is a priest of the spider goddess Rose.

In the history of Ellenus, more than 10,000 years ago, as a member of the elf gods, and even the wife of the elf master "Asurililon", she was expelled from Austria because of her conspiracy to betray Asurelon. Luo An's spider queen, Luo Si, has since become cruel, evil, and capricious. At the end of the third era, she even directly surrendered to the evil **** of the abyss to help destroy the elf kingdom on the new continent, in order to avenge the elf gods and become the world's most powerful person. One of the notorious evil gods.

The dark elves are so hostile to the surface race, and the notoriety of the spider queen Luosi accounts for a large part of the reason.

In the eyes of many people, dark elves are similar to demons.

Being able to climb to the position of a high priest in the Church of Rose, this female drow will naturally not be a kind person, but she has not reached the legend, so she can't find the enemy hidden by the roadside.

Even a Legendary would be hard-pressed to detect Raistlin's invisible force field.

The gray lizard cavalry walked away.

Everyone went back to the road and continued on, getting closer and closer to Menzobrai, encountering dark elves more and more times, and seeing two underground caravans.

Through the Voice of All Things, Raistlin sensed them from a great distance and avoided them easily.

Finally, after half a day, they passed through a tunnel tens of meters wide and walked out of the entrance. Suddenly, they entered a huge cave that they had never seen before. Raislin and the others stood on the edge of the cave, and he had to look hard with his eyesight, so that his eyes could see through the dim light to see the opposite side of the cave, which was at least five kilometers away, and the highest point was nearly one kilometer above the ground.

A bustling underground city is built in this huge cave.

Menzoberran has arrived!

There are many rock pillars in the city supporting the dome, connecting the ground and the sky. The most conspicuous one is the stone pillar in the center of the cave. Countless runes are engraved on the surface, forming a magic circle, which emits red flames. Light up the whole city.

Izt had introduced it before, this is the Narbondel Time Pillar.

The underground world is always dark, with no seasons and no changes of day and night, so the archmage of Menzobrai set up a rune circle on the central stone pillar, both for lighting and to indicate the passage of time through the temperature of the flames.

When the flame is completely extinguished, it means entering the night.

Until it burns and lights up again, it means that it is dawn. When the temperature of the flame is the highest and the brightness is the greatest, it is noon in the day.

At this moment, the flame of the hour pillar is slowly fading, and the brightness is also decreasing, indicating that Menzoberran is in the afternoon.

Under the red light of the Hour Pillar, you can see the entire city.

Most of the areas in the cave are flat, and most of the buildings are made of rocks, mainly in black tones, and the overall style is dark and cold. On a layer of blood.

The highest point in the city is located in the north, where there is a 100-meter-high boulder, shaped like a hill, with stone steps excavated from the foot of the mountain to reach the open top step by step.

On the top of the mountain, there is a temple in the shape of a spider.

Raistlin didn't look much. This temple is the most important place for Spider Queen Rose in the mortal world, and it is also the core holy place of Rose's Church. Try not to get close, not even to look at it a few times.

On the left of the Spider Temple is the Mage Academy, and on the right is a black stone tower less than 100 meters high.

That is the fighting tower, where drow men learn fighting skills.

Izzet said that he spent his childhood in the Fighting Tower, where he left painful memories that he will never forget for a lifetime.

There are tall city walls on the periphery of Menzobrai, and there are hundreds of meters wide open space between the city walls and the cave walls, and there are hundreds of tunnels around, leading to different areas. Almost all the time, patrols or caravans came in and out of the tunnels, detoured under the city walls to the city gates, and entered the city.

Raistlin and the others were located to the east, and there was a large lake not far from the city.

"I'll go first."

According to the plan previously made, Izt entered the city alone to find a suitable foothold, and then Raistlin opened the teleportation gate through the teleportation coordinates and directly arrived in the city.

Otherwise, these alien races will surely attract attention when they enter Menzoberran.

Menzobrai are different from the weak kuo-toa. According to Izzet, there are at least four powerful saints in the city, including two archmages. In addition, the spider temple is even more unfathomable, and the spider queen Rose often responds to the call of the priest and lowers her avatar.

Although the entire team is a legendary high-level, UU reading www. uukanshu. There is also a saint-level demon hunter in com, but if his identity is revealed, it will attract the saint-level powerhouses of Menzoberran to chase and kill him, and he will have to peel off his skin if he does not die.

Raistlin didn't want to take any chances either.

If it wasn't for Izt to enter the city to contact the clan, they would go around directly under the city wall, and would not disturb the dark elves in the city at all.

Izzet put away the green blade, restrained his fel energy, and put on a suit of drow warrior equipment, with two scimitars hanging around his waist, and his facial features were adjusted to disguise himself as a high-level drow warrior.

Ready, he escaped from the invisible force and dived into the shadows, and appeared in a tunnel not far away.

Then to Menzobrai's gate.

The teammates watched Izzet struttingly walk in front of the drow guards, his face arrogant, just like those arrogant and mean drow warriors, with a noble style. The city gate guard did not dare to stop him and let him in.

There is no abnormality in the detection arrays arranged in the gates of the city walls.

The teammates breathed a sigh of relief.

If Izzet shows his feet, then everyone can only run away before the holy-rank powerhouse of Menzobrai doesn't come.

After waiting outside the city for more than two hours, Raistlin received a message from Izt, so he opened the portal under the cover of magic, and the whole team walked in.
