When Jianxiu came to the Western Fantasy Continent

In the standard bard story, there will always be a tavern at the beginning. It may be located on the side of the nearest forest road in the Anse Lazia Mountains, or it may have just passed through the barren and cold northern ice sheet, as is the Miris Islands where the tauren live. A good choice.But the beginning of the story will definitely not appear in Sanjiang City.

If you open the map of Oren Continent, you will find that Sanjiang City is located in the center of the continent, and three rivers that nourish the continent pass by it. One is the Ancasia Bi River that traverses the Anselazia Mountains. The water of the river is clear all year round. Bottom, calm without waves.One is Rulun, the black water that nourishes the ice field, and it is the mother river that the barbarians rely on for their survival.There is also a Chishui. According to legend, Santani, the hometown of Sun God believers was raised thousands of years ago, but the cataclysmic years have turned it into a desert of purgatory where not a single blade of grass grows.In ancient times, Sanjiang City also had an elegant and pleasant name with eight syllables, but to people today, Sanjiang is just Sanjiang, and there is absolutely nothing elegant about it.

In Sanjiang City, what the bards dislike the most is its coldness and reality.This is the largest neutral city in the entire continent. You can drink with the Tauren one day, and become brothers with the Iris Templar the next day. There are no rules, no laws, no temples of light, wizards guilds, and other hopeless dogmatic templates .On the contrary, the largest thieves' and assassins' guilds in the mainland have made their homes here. Half-orcs can walk on the streets with dignity, and defected mages regard this as their second home. Enough gold coins, the beautiful half-elves of Acarella will give you the first night.

Just like the proverb that Sanjiang people are keen on, "There are no rules, but our biggest rule."

Every day, truckloads of corpses would be dragged out from the west of the city and thrown into the rolling red water. They might have offended a certain dignitary, or they might have stepped on a small brick while stealing, or they might even just have two extra drinks in the tavern He also forgot to bring money, but Chishui had no intention of refusing, and swallowed every corpse equally.Conspiracies and deaths happen every day, but Sanjiang people love this kind of life. Indulgence and excitement are like high-quality wine without water.

Today's Sanjiang City still maintains a hopeless prosperity.

The moon was hanging high in the sky, and the thief Calus, who was standing in Bison Alley, was pacing anxiously.Bison Alley is one of the most remote and deserted alleys in Sanjiang. Two centuries ago, the Tauren contracted it and turned it into a mess. The nearest tavern is 1000 meters away from it.Except for a few travelers who couldn't care less about dying (and most of them died too), no one came here looking for excitement.Therefore, this alley has become one of the regular trading places of the Thieves Guild, used to hand over the most secret tasks.

Carus has been waiting here for more than half an hour. Today's mission made him upset. It's not that the mission is too dangerous, but the thought of the guy who came to hand it over made him feel extremely insecure.After taking two thousand steps back and forth, he finally couldn't help cursing, "God damn it..."

"Are you waiting for me, sir."

A voice suddenly appeared obliquely from behind him like a ghost, and Carus shuddered and stepped back a few steps.In the dark alley just now, a shadow appeared that was a little bit darker than the night, and then the shadow slowly faded away, turning into a silhouette in a black robe.There was no sound of footsteps, or even breathing, just standing there straight, like an undead who suddenly woke up.Carus shuddered at the thought, calmed down, and pretended to speak calmly.

"You're late, Drow (note)."

"It takes half an hour to check whether there is a trace, and it's not overstepping." The elegant and beautiful voice replied, with an irritable elf tone in the tone.

Carus immediately decided to make a quick decision. He took out a half-full purse from his pocket, shook it to make the gold coins jingle, "A customer needs thirty silver star grass, 500 gold coins, here are 150 A deposit of [-] yuan. Do you want to take this task?"

The silhouette didn't answer right away, but waited for about 5 minutes before saying quietly, "You know that the silver star grass is only produced in Moon Lake, which is the lair of surface elves."

Carus replied impatiently, "Yeah, I also know that there are only two kinds of talents to find the silver star grass. Since we can't find a real elf with dim light vision, we can only find someone like you. Nocturnal vision guy."

"It's too risky."

"Are you a cowardly race? This money," Carus shook the purse again, "whether you want it or not, give me a word."

After another pause, an arm stretched out from the black robe, the whole body was pitch black, and the slender arm almost broke when folded, only the nails had a pink luster.The hand spread out to Carus, and Carus couldn't help trembling, and took another step back.

"I took it."

As if being targeted by a poisonous snake, Carus quickly threw the money bag to the man, and with a light flick of his black wrist, he put the money bag in his arms.

The silhouette bowed gracefully, "I will deliver the goods here in ten days. Good night, Mr. Thieves."

After finishing speaking, he disappeared into the darkness like a wisp of green smoke.Carus opened his eyes wide and watched for a while before he was sure that the damn dangerous person had left. He couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. He decided to go to a hotel 1000 meters away to have a drink. Mix with some water.

Another deal closed.Just like every day or night in Sanjiang City, there is nothing new.

After half an hour, a shadow suddenly appeared on a certain wall of Bison Alley. The shadow swayed and slowly walked out of the narrow alley.The man in the black cloak weighed the purse in his hand and sighed resignedly.Sanjiang City was a suitable place for him to live in, but surviving on the surface was too expensive after all. Compared to murder or robbery, this was already the best choice.

The moon was so big and bright that it almost hurt the man's eyes. He pulled his hood hard to block the damn moonlight, and walked slowly to his nest.

===================================

The author has something to say: Drow: The name of the dark elves.Let me say something at the beginning of the fantasy book. After reading the information hard, I found that the dragon gun world and the forgotten kingdom are really not easy to integrate, and they are somewhat different from my own settings, so I created my own background as soon as I gritted my teeth orz story It generally takes place in a world similar to the background of Dragonlance, but there are dark elves, and the dark elves still use the settings of the matriarchal society and the spider goddess. Other gods and national systems are self-created, but the nest is really useless. So please forgive me for the character name and place name orz. As for the setting, I try to describe it in the text as much as possible, so I won’t add too many notes. I hope I can make it clear. Wipe off my sweat...
