Arad's Sword

Chapter 365 New Goals
Dark Dragon City!

Midi's heart skipped a beat.

In his previous life, he had never set foot in the Underdark Region, but he had also heard many legends about the Dark Dragon City.

Those who mentioned this legend included purebred dark elves from the Underdark region, as well as gray dwarves, black dwarves, and even powerhouses of different races.

The word of mouth of the strong people, and the fact that even a place as far away as the Arad Continent can spread its name, it can be seen that there is indeed something good in this Dark Dragon City.

According to the legend, the Dark Dragon City was left by the Tyrannosaurus King Bakar, which contains countless treasures and supreme inheritance, waiting for others to discover.

Not only that, it is said that in the depths of the Dark Dragon City, there is an ancient dragon guarding it, and no one can pass through.

In this life, since the choice of fate sent him to this dark region, there is no doubt that it must send him to the strongest place here.

Because only to that extent can it be possible to resolve the death warrant.

Only then will it be possible to defeat those demonic counts, marquises, and dukes that will appear in front of him in the near future.

Even the Demon Prince.

Even the second apostle "Tear Eyes" Herder himself.

Since even the Eighth Apostle Lotes mentioned the Dark Dragon City, Midi naturally wanted to give it a try.

The goal has been set, and the next question is very simple and straightforward——

Where is the Dark Dragon City?
"Where is the Dark Dragon City?" Hearing this question, Rotes just smiled, "This is not an easy question to answer. It seems that although you have a certain understanding of the Underdark Region, you are still limited to hearsay degree. This Dark Dragon City can be said to exist in the Underdark region, but it can also be said to be nowhere!"

"So it's another small world?" Midi immediately understood.

The so-called small world is an independent dimensional space that exists in a large area.

For example, Sky City, this place is a sealed small realm between the continent of Arad and the sea of ​​clouds in the sky.

And after the seal was opened, the Sky City naturally appeared on the Arad Continent, waiting for people to fight for it.

However, Dark Dragon City is different.

According to Rotes, this Dark Dragon City is extremely special. Although it is a small world, it forms a cycle of its own and is not restricted by general physical rules at all.

Usually, even if you travel through the entire Underdark Region and tear open countless spatial rifts, you will still not be able to find the location of the Dark Dragon City.

Only at the Black Dragon Conference held every five years, it will be opened by itself, and the winners of the Black Dragon Conference will be allowed to enter.

And this Black Dragon Conference is the strongest race in the Underdark region, a grand gathering of purebred dark elves.

In other words, the opening of the Dark Dragon City is in the hands of the race of purebred dark elves.

And if Midi wants to enter the Dark Dragon City to obtain inheritance, the only way is to find ways to join the Dark Elf society, and then win the Black Dragon Conference!
Looking for the Dark Dragon City alone in the Underdark?

Totally impossible.

Managed to infiltrate the Black Dragon Conference and force it in?

The Dark Dragon City will choose a winner by itself, and intruders without a name cannot enter.

Coerce the purebred dark elves to try to summon the dark dragon city and open it?
Even the supreme power may not be able to fight against the entire race on his own, not to mention that Midi is nothing here.

Therefore, Midi has no choice but to try to integrate into the dark elf society first, and then he can approach his goal step by step.

In fact, this is quite in line with Midi's mind.

After all, human beings are social creatures after all. It is more beneficial for Midi to enter the civilized society of the dark elves than to survive alone in the wild in the dark region.

However, how to integrate into it is very particular.

In the final analysis, the "human" race should not exist in the Underdark at all, not to mention whether it will be hostile, but the rarity itself is conspicuous enough.

If you just show up casually like this, what kind of consequences will be produced is simply unpredictable.

This is not the mainland of Arad. If you walk into the village dressed as a traveler, you can get a drink of water, a bite of food, and inquire about news by the way.

This is the Underdark, a cursed land full of dangers and powerful races of all kinds.

Human beings have no place to stand here.

All in all, first of all, the specific plan can only be carried out after the Dark Elf is found.

Midi thought of this in her heart, and then asked, "Rotes, do you have any suggestions?"

As the knowledgeable eighth apostle, maybe he can give Midi some valuable advice, just like what he did just now, tell Midi the essence of "dark magic power".

But this time, Midi's expectations were in vain.

"I think you'd better not rely on the old man, because the dark elves are no different from the ants in the old man's eyes. As the eighth apostle, do you think the old man will study the social structure and living habits of the ants?" Rotes proudly replied .

Midie was speechless for a moment.

However, this is also an irrefutable truth.

What is the point of studying a group of dark elves, the master of the demonic ocean?
In desperation, he can only use the most basic methods of adventurers to explore.

That's blanket search.

In order to find some clues of the dark elves, Midi even turned on the light source, even if it attracted a bloody battle with many monsters, she still had to use her own eyes to distinguish the clues in the endless maze of the Underdark.

The hard work paid off, and finally, after spending several days, Midi finally found a place that was different.

This is a passage winding through the Underdark.

This channel shuttles among the huge jagged rocks and smooth stalagmites, and passes through many water sources on the way. In addition, there are traces of artificial excavation in some places where there should be no way to go.

This information is enough to show that this is likely to be the "road" opened up by the civilized race in the Underdark.

After discovering this road, Midi guarded a certain water source along the road, waiting for the arrival of the target.

He was lucky, and soon, a team of dark elves came to this water source along this dark road.

These "pure dark elves" who have lived in the Underdark from birth are markedly different from their surface relatives.

Like hair color.

The hair colors of the dark elf sisters Avril and Emile are both silver-white, like the moonlight at night, with a kind of nobility and elegance in the coldness.

But the hair color of the purebred dark elves is pale, almost like dry weeds.

Not only that, perhaps in order to adapt to the underground environment, their stature is also relatively short, not only inferior to the dark elves on the surface and the sea of ​​​​the sky, but even slightly inferior to humans of medium stature.

However, it would be a complete mistake to think that they lack strength because of their petite stature.

Judging from the incomparably smooth movements and vigorous movements of these purebred dark elves, their seemingly petite bodies contained explosive power unimaginable by ordinary people.

And the knotted muscle groups and developed nervous system on their bare arms fully confirmed this point.

However, these are only minor details.

What really gave Midi a headache was the killing intent emanating from these dark elves.

As a commander who is often on bloody battlefields, Midi knows this killing intent all too well.This is the state of mind that only those who have fully entered the fighting state will have.

However, these dark elves remained in this state even when eating and drinking.

How alert are they, how hostile to anything unknown?

Midi didn't know, he just knew very well that if he showed up like this, he would be attacked by these dark elves immediately without even saying an explanation.

Even with Midi's strength, he wouldn't be afraid of these dark elves.

However, such a battle is obviously meaningless.

Faced with a group of dark elves who regard all "moving things" other than their own race as enemies and prey, Midi really doesn't know how to integrate into it.

The dark elves left, taking their wares and driving the cave lizards away, and Meddy could only watch them go.

Next, Midi learned her lesson and started using some different tactics.

For example, the so-called "heroic appearance" that is very common in the continent of Arad.

If the dark elves' team suffered a catastrophe, and Midi happened to appear on the stage at this time and offered a helping hand, at least they would have a chance to speak, right?
With this in mind, Midi managed to figure out the distribution of various monsters around this road.

These include Shadow Spiders, Hobgoblin Swarms, Vampire Bats, Dreadclaws, and more.

And when the second dark elf team arrived here along the road, Midi deliberately alarmed several groups of monsters and skillfully led them to the team's location.

Due to the precise calculations in advance, and the fact that Rotes is quite familiar with the habits of these monsters, the plan went very smoothly at first.

Soon, the dark elves fought wave after wave of monsters.

However, only initially went well.

Midi, who was hiding aside and waiting to show off his power, was depressed to find that the fighting power of these dark elves had far exceeded his expectations!
All kinds of tactics that can only be used in the dark region were used by these dark elves with great proficiency.Coupled with the seamless cooperation between them, soon, the monsters who fought only by instinct were completely wiped out, and the corpses were even skinned by the dark elves to make supplementary meat and classified materials.

From beginning to end, there was no room for Midi to intervene in this battle.

If he appeared when the dark elves were killing, Midi could almost be sure that he, a human being, would definitely be regarded as one of the monsters, and then greet the arrow feathers and whirling blades that fell like rain from the dark elves.

"It seems that the only way is to try to be more adventurous." Midi sighed.

Under the oppression of the death hunting order, he really didn't have much time to test it out, so now he had no choice but to take a gamble.

"What are you going to do?" On the side, in the dagger "Golden Forgiveness", Rotes' slightly curious voice sounded.

"Did you know that all intelligent races must have curiosity, if they arouse that, at least they should give me time to say a few words." Midi smiled and replied.
