Chapter 530: The Indigenous Residents of the Dungeon

Speaking of the Underdark, the first thing that comes to mind is the dungeon.

The Underdark is a desolate world where two imperatives are overriding: survival and destruction.

It's mostly eternal darkness, filled with creatures unadapted to real light.To compensate, most of them evolved dark vision or enhanced senses long ago.Glowstone, luminous crystals, and phosphorescent mosses, lichens, and fungi dimly illuminate places.Grotesque plants were so common that it was almost impossible for visitors to identify which were hostile and which were poisonous without magic or potentially fatal experiments.

Since the Underdark does not receive rain, fresh water is the most precious resource.Residents must rely on whatever filters down from the surface.The discoverer of water will store it and protect it with life.

The resources in this land are rich and single. In order to survive, each city will produce a small amount of special products to trade with neighboring cities during peacetime.

A typical caravan consisted of dozens of heavily armed merchants and soldiers, with two or three sent to patrol the front or rear during the journey.Although the tunnels are usually silent, the echoes travel far.An experienced Underdark scout can tell the subtle difference between natural creatures and potential threats just by echoes.

Wealthy cities teleport caravans to their destinations, or make use of ready-made portals to speed up the journey.Even the most evil ethnic settlements will spontaneously protect these caravans, because once they fight against the merchants, they will no longer get useful resources and are vulnerable to invasion.

Blingdenstone City is a large city in the Underdark, and its founders were goblins who previously resisted the rule of the dark elves.With the hard work of the goblins, the scale of this place is also growing day by day, and it has gradually become a very important trading hub in the underground world.

The goblins accept any outsiders to settle here, which is very rare in the closed underground world.

For example, Menzoberranzan, the capital of dark elves, unless the outsiders were also dark elves, the only options waiting for these lost lambs were to become slaves or be killed.

The first-born succession looked up at the towering statue of the goddess at the city gate, and said, "It's amazing that these ignorant goblins can build such a magnificent city."

Rose said: "Goblins are indeed very similar to humans. These two races are equally innately deficient and equally good at creating. I heard that in ancient times, goblins once created a great civilization, but it was destroyed later."

The newborn succession said: "Do you know how their fame was destroyed?"

Rose said: "I heard that they offended the gods and finally brought disaster."

The first-born succession said disdainfully: "Offended the gods? This is really interesting. If human beings continue to develop like this, it is not far from offending the gods."

The so-called gods are nothing more than powerful intelligent creatures. If it weren't for infringing on their own rights, no one would spend a lot of money trying to destroy a powerful civilized race.One thing Rose is right about is that humans really do resemble goblins of the past.

These two races are also rich in creativity and curiosity, and are good at construction and research. They also built a splendid culture beyond the longevity species with the hands of mortals.

The problem is that the talents and short lives of these two races make it difficult for them to become powerful individuals, so it is difficult to give birth to gods.So a race that dominates the mortal world but does not have the protection of a powerful true god is naturally a thorn in the eyes of all races.

Yakid paid two silver coins to the elf guarding the gate, and then drove into the city.

The square is filled with fluorescent plants, covering the entire business district in dim light.Most of the things sold here are not seen on the ground, such as slaves of various races, magical weapons with strange shapes, and so on.

The first-born succession even saw a green-skinned goblin making a deal with the little devil. It signed its name on a parchment roll, and then took the yellow-orange-orange gold coins from the little devil.

"Strange, it doesn't seem to have given the little devil any goods, why did the other party give him money?"

Rose introduced the newborn succession: "No, of course it has already been given. In fact, just now, he sold his soul. After death, it will be transformed into a lemure from the lower plane, which will then serve as Bartor's The nine prisons are enslaved to the ends of the world."

The first-born succession was stunned, and said: "Is there such a thing? I don't think this is a good deal."

Rose said: "In the dark region, there is nothing that cannot be sold. Don't talk about the feelings of relatives. Sometimes people are forced to have no choice. People even sell their own souls."

The newborn successor shook his head and sighed, completely oblivious to the stupid thing Princess Catherine behind her did.She took out a silver coin and handed it to the little goblin on the street who was half dead from starvation.

Rose, who turned around, was about to stop drinking when the little goblin had already firmly grasped the silver coin in her hand.

In a blink of an eye, many goblin refugees along the street rushed up, frantically pushing towards Catherine in an attempt to ask for alms.They blocked the way forward, and at the same time, many eyes secretly looked at Chusheng Succession and others.

Rose scolded angrily: "You idiot! Look at what stupid things you have done~~"

Catherine broke away a goblin's hand, and said stiffly: "I just gave the little beggar a silver coin because I felt sorry for the little beggar!"

"Beggars? There are many refugees in the Underdark, but there are absolutely no beggars. No one here will give to the weak. You have exposed yourself as an outsider by doing this, and you are an idiot who came to the dungeon for the first time. Now we have been given by many people." Watch it!"

As if to confirm Rose's words, several kobolds and lizardmen had already pulled out their weapons and began to approach them.However, Catherine didn't notice all of this, and she was still defending: "Is it as serious as you said?"

The first-born succession interrupted the quarrel between the two, and said to Catherine: "It's a good thing to be kind, but it also depends on the environment you are in. Rose, don't scold her, and pay attention to Joseph and Yaquid from now on." Ready to clear."

"Yes, master~~~"

The fighting power of the golden pinnacle is not very strong in the dungeon, but it is still more than enough to deal with these ordinary hooligans.The black bat wings tore off the clothes of the two, and the dark nobles instantly turned into vampires with sharp teeth and claws, and started killing.

The dungeon also has its own order, and no one will welcome foreign invaders.In order to prevent too much commotion, the first-born succession asked the vampire to kill the few guys who dared to draw their swords at him, and the surrounding aborigines immediately dispersed like birds and beasts.
