high castle elves

If you look at it from a high altitude, Schendarion, which is located on the inside of Lake Telamere and has its back against the "cliff", looks like a spider with its body bent backwards, drinking water by the lake.The upper, middle and lower city areas are connected by passages, just like the connection between the waist and head of a spider.

The highest part of the upper city is called the Belly of the Spider by the residents of the city, which is where the drow family lives in the city. Countless stalactite pillars are like spider limbs, supporting the top of the cave.

Because the Spider's Belly is backed by the calcite rock wall of the cave behind it, it is the safest and easiest to defend and difficult to attack place in the city. There are only three passages connecting the upper city and the middle city, making the entire upper city become an olive shape, and On the "rock wall" behind, there are countless secret passages built by the drow.

Passing through three connecting passages originally called the "Spider Gut", this is the middle city of Scindalane, where mages and drow chambers of commerce gather. This is the widest place in Scindalane, and also The city's main bulk trading area and "citizen" area, as well as the famous Time Pillar in the Underdark, are also here and are maintained by mages.

The Spider's Ankle where Alamir lives is called Spider's Ankle because it opens at the bottom of a huge stalactite column extending from the upper level.

The connecting passage between the middle and lower floors is much wider than the Spider's Gut. After passing through a small square called the Killing Square, Alamil arrived at the lower city called the Spider's Skull.

Most of the houses here are small and damp. Because they are close to the lake, the houses here are quite similar to the stilted houses in Alamere's previous life. Moreover, the heights here are scattered, there are no streets, and many blocks are connected by thin bridges. There are only dark, Narrow alleys filled with the stench of fish and blood.

This is also where many "fishermen" and foreign mercenaries, killers, and intelligence dealers live. Because there was once a city of Kuo-Toa just under the Spider Skull, there are many fish-style buildings maintained. The lowest level of the building has a pool that leads directly to the lake. There are many "poor" drow elves, as well as "slaves" from the upper and middle city areas, including cavemen, captured humans, and drow themselves. They all make a living by fishing here, and they also grow a kind of fluorescent algae, which they collect and make into various handicrafts. As a specialty of Schendalein, they trade with the caravans on the surface.

To put it simply, compared to the invisible "elegant evils" in Shangzhong City, the evils here are more naked, including robbery, poisoning, stealing, cult development... as long as you don't attack everyone in the city here. The drow of the family, you can do anything here!

The portal connecting to other places is in the lower area of ​​the Spider Skull, built on the star-studded shoal by the lake, and is heavily guarded by drow.

Although the drow will "mercifully" give other creatures the right to use the portal after accepting large sums of money, they deliberately build the portal in such a dangerous place. If you are captured through the Spider Skull, Kill it, and the drow warrior following you will be happy to "recycle" the portal pass on your corpse, and may even attack and kill you in the Spider Skull, and then go to the gangs and mercenaries in the Spider Skull. Bing pushed you, secretly laughing at your stupidity.

There is no way, this is Drow, this is the Underdark, a world that is completely twisted and crazy, full of calculations and conspiracies at all times.

Although the Red Dragon "bought" the pass from the Bones of Darkness, as an evil organization, they were also full of caution and cunning when facing equally evil allies. They did not directly take out the "pass". Instead, he sent a message to the red dragon, asking him to find a tavern called Toxic Mead in the Spider Skull, where he said that he could buy a pass by showing the owner of the tavern the token of the Bones of Darkness!

Doing it for half a day means that you have to spend money on the pass itself? ?Seeing Silina, the priest of the red dragon, casually hammering two drow thieves to death, Alamir felt a little scared.

Looking at the red dragon's greed for money, he probably can't get any money out of it, so he has to pay for it himself? ?Remembering that there were only a few gold coins from the human kingdom left in his magic pocket, Alamir began to make calculations.

On the way here, he knew how expensive the things left behind by the "demons" that the master killed casually, such as the big demon's skull and weapons, were!

But just because it is "too expensive", if he takes it out rashly, it will cause unnecessary sensation, and even - "covet" by the Zall family in Shangcheng District......

This is a city of drows. Isn’t this just like a child holding gold to cause trouble? ?

But Honglong once generously stated that she could provide him with a "fair exchange" service. Although she was reluctant to part with her "shining little things", who made them "deeply in love" with each other?

Listening to the "price" offered by the red dragon in his heart, even though Alamir was not completely aware of the value of these things, he felt that his senior sister was too greedy.

Forget it, let's go and take a look first. Alamir, who happened to be practicing his martial arts and whose five senses were much sharper, was going to kill a few creatures in the Underdark to express his bad aura after being defeated by the giant infant eagle.

But he thought too much. Although the drow were evil, they were not stupid enough to rob three drow women, not to mention that they brought high-level demons, tauren, giant eagles and dragon-born "slaves"... ....

So as soon as they entered the Spider Skull, except for the two drow thieves who came out to die, they had an unobstructed path to the poisonous mead.

Of course, there were "a lot" of peeks along the way. As a result, the "female priest" dressed as a lust demon snorted, and Alamire, who was pretending to be a drow male, roared with the wind of hell, which was more sinister than ordinary psychics. Under the shock of his mind, all peeps disappeared.

To the southwest of the Spider's Skull is Poisonous Mead. This building obviously has a mixture of fish and drow styles. The wooden door is also carved with spiders using fish bones. The tauren pushed open the door of the tavern without hesitation.

Bang - The solid stone door was pushed open by the tauren, making a sound that was not often heard in the Dark Area. All the "people" in the tavern looked at the door.

According to Alamir's design, such an arrogant style will immediately arouse the displeasure of some drinkers in the tavern. Then someone provokes him and kills them. Then the tavern owner comes out to mediate. He naturally contacts the tavern owner and shows his strength. Then lower the price.

However, the drinkers inside stood up from their chairs one after another as Alamir thought, but it was not what he thought. Several muscular men came around with their eyes fixed, although there were also a few with beards. , the gray dwarf stone pillars with fresh flesh and blood on them stood up, but their movements were the same as everyone else.

All the creatures in the tavern stood up in unison, moved their chairs, and made way for an open space. At the same time, they tried to look away and not look at the several female drows. The two female warriors in the corner of the tavern seemed to be The female drow guarding the portal guard also tried her best to look at the wine and food in front of her, trying not to look like she meant any "provocation".

The tavern, which had been slightly noisy just now, was silent now. Right in front of Alamir, a "wide" passage appeared in front of them.
