Different World Online

After more than a week of garrisoning, the Third Patrol repelled a total of five waves of attacks by small orc forces;

On the morning of the eighth day after their arrival, scouts brought news of a general retreat;

After receiving the news, Fu Meng calmly directed the team members to pack up the tents, put away the wheels of the sleds, and feed the goats...

After finishing everything, the third patrol team braved the heavy snow and set out on the journey home.

After a long day's journey, they finally returned to Thorium Hall before dark.

As soon as he stepped into the warm Thorium Hall, Steve was grabbed by Mr. Bruno who was guarding the city gate.

"Steve, come with me, Prince Travok wants to see you."

Bruno spoke quickly, and without saying a word, he pulled Steve towards the King's Palace in Thorium Hall.

Seeing this, Steve had no choice but to ask for a simple leave from Captain Formon.

Walking on the road, Steve looked at Bruno who was in a hurry and couldn't help asking:

"Mr. Bruno, what's the matter? Why are you so anxious?

What does His Majesty want to see me for?"

"You'll know when you get there." Bruno was very tight-lipped and just kept urging Steve to walk faster.

After a while, they arrived at the king's palace.

Listening to the obviously chaotic hammering sounds coming from the palace, Steve became even more confused;

This shouldn't be the case! Did Silvermoon City come to arrest me?

Before he had time to think, he was dragged into the palace by Bruno.

Inside the palace, Prince Travok was standing in front of the anvil, waving a hammer in his hand, hitting a red-hot steel ingot anxiously.

It can be seen from his frown that he is very dissatisfied with this ingot;

Seeing Steve and Bruno coming, the old prince put the hammer on the anvil and walked towards Steve.

"Steve, I need to trouble you for something this time."

Simple and direct, without any twists and turns, which is quite consistent with the character of dwarves.

"You say." Steve was also quite direct.

"I want you to go underground."

Good! I am familiar with the King of Hell. I even made an appointment with him for a drink when I died last time.

Steve habitually laughed, then asked solemnly:

"The Underdark? What do I need to do?"

“Explore the underground lair and number of gray dwarves. A week ago, the gray dwarves attacked our mines.

We sent out two patrols and twenty armed temple guards;

But yesterday there was another attack, the other side was so large in numbers that they not only took away the supplies but also killed six of our compatriots;

The Father God Temple and the King both believe that it is necessary to explore the lair of this gray dwarf clan."

"Just investigation?"

"Yes!" Prince Travok nodded heavily, his bloodshot eyes full of expectation.

"Leave the fighting to us!

This time, the patrol captain and I will lead the team personally, and we must wipe out those despicable guys!"

Hearing this, Steve nodded slightly, with all kinds of thoughts running rapidly through his head.

"Sure! But I have a request."

Prince Travok said without hesitation.

"Poppy, my companion, I hope you can train her into a warrior."

"give it to me!"

"It's settled then. I'll leave at that time."

"The sooner the better."

"Then tomorrow morning, I need to make some preparations!"

"it is good!"

After a brief discussion, Steve said goodbye to Prince Travok and Bruno and returned to his temporary residence;

Walking into the square stone house, Bobby was staring at the breadsticks on the table, his stomach growling with hunger.

Hearing the footsteps, Bobby immediately turned his head and started yelling.

"Steve, I'm hungry!"

"Eat it!"

Hearing this, Bobby reached out with lightning speed, grabbed a bread stick as long as an adult's arm, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Looking at Bobby who was eating voraciously, Steve said seriously:

"You should follow Mr. Fumon and learn the skills of a warrior these days. I have something to do."

Hearing this, Bobby swallowed the bread in his mouth, turned his head instantly, and stared at Steve with his big eyes;

"Steve, you're leaving me!"

"Bullshit!" Steve reached out and slapped her on the head, then explained:

"I'm going to the Underdark underground. That place is full of low caves. You can only crawl to get down there."

"I'm willing to climb!" Bobby said stubbornly.

"It's a waste of time. I'm going to investigate. It's very secretive."

"I crawled very stealthily."

Hearing this, Steve pinched his eyebrows and his face suddenly became long.

"Do you want a beating? I've been too easy on myself lately, haven't I?!"

As soon as the words fell, Bobby shrank his head and said in a muffled voice:

"Then you...you...you swear not to abandon me."

"I..." Steve raised his hand to slap her, but then he thought, this girl is an insecure person, so he slowly put down his hand.

"Okay, I swear!

I swear by... by... Muradin, the dwarven god!

I know His divine name well.”

After saying that, Steve simply swore an oath using Muradin's divine name, stating that he would never abandon Poppy.

Seeing this, Bobby let go of Steve who was speechless and concentrated on eating.

At night, Steve sat at the door of the cabin, looking at the red magma pool below the Thorium Hall, and slowly fell into deep thought;

North, Orc Tribe, [Chieftain]...

Underdark, Drow, [City Lord]...

Thorium Hall, orcs, gray dwarves, Silvermoon City...

According to the information known so far, the [city lord] wants slaves, the [chieftain] craves for food, and the implication between the lines seems to be that he craves a land for farming; the dwarves want to wipe out the gray dwarves;

As he thought about it, a clear line emerged in Steve's mind;

Rely on the power of the dwarves to wipe out the gray dwarves, and sell the gray dwarves to the [City Lord]. The [City Lord] will then give the food to the [Chief], and let the [Chief] contain the orcs and reduce the pressure on Thorium Hall.

This! I am a genius!

Not only did he earn the favor of the [City Lord], he also helped Thorium Hall, consolidated the relationship with the dwarves, and in the end, he might even be able to get some benefits from the [Chieftain];

The most important thing is to develop downstream customers!

As an excellent rogue, he would definitely return to Waterdeep to practice his skills in the future;

So, how do you deal with the property that comes with practicing skills?

Obviously, dwarves can sell stolen goods, orcs can sell stolen goods, and the Underdark is a super buyer!

This wave is simply double...triple...forget it, I can’t calculate it, I’ll just win anyway!

Moreover, Steve can go to the temples of the God of War, the God of Thieves, and the God of Killing to practice his skills!

As for the stolen goods, if they were sold directly to these three companies, they might even be able to sow discord;

Not only that, he could also meet the two netizens, [City Lord] and [Chief]. If he were to unleash his arrogance, wouldn't these two little idiots bow down to him?!
