Start a core cabin

After passing through the maze, everything in front of me suddenly became clear—the original narrow tunnel disappeared, replaced by an almost vast and boundless underground cavity, and in front of the towering mountain wall was a bottomless abyss almost like a cliff. No one is in the mood to appreciate such beauty at the moment.

"Hey, I said, what the hell is that?"

Yan Wei still couldn't help asking, she hadn't acted with Duanmu Huai much, or Yan Wei, who was sealed in the card most of the time, didn't know much about the outside world at all. But even so, she was still able to discover the horror of those black fighters—at least Yanwei was sure that each of them had the ability to kill herself casually.

"That is our enemy, the enemy we will inevitably encounter in the future."

Duanmu Huai looked at the underground city in the distance.

"Everything we're doing now is about being able to lay the groundwork when we're fighting them."

Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai's expression was a little dignified. Although it was only an illusion in his memory, it could already explain many problems. [Group undressing] has no effect on them at all, [Old God Will] is directly immune, and only [Aura of Fear] can affect them for a second.

The biggest possibility of this is that the levels of [God of Pleasure] and [Old God Will] are too low, and only when [God of Destruction] has reached the middle level of divine power can they barely fight against the black warriors. Because there is no army of players in this world, Duanmuhuai can only rely on himself, so the only thing he can do is to upgrade his other two priesthood levels as soon as possible, and find a way to find a priesthood that can restrain the corruption.

To be honest, this is not an easy task.

"You want to fight that kind of thing, aren't you afraid of death?"

"For this world, death is already considered a wonderful blessing."

Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders.

"First, this is my duty. Second, if I don't go to them, they will come to me."

The revival of the Eye of Terror is only a matter of time, so for Duanmu Huai, this is basically a countdown task. Once the countdown is over, it doesn't matter if you want to, because the other party will come to you to chat.

There is no way to hide.

"You are really unlucky to meet such a monster."

"It's the world that's unlucky, not me. When they return, everyone will die together. Don't think you can stay out of it."

"Uh...no way."

Hearing this, Yan Wei's face turned pale.

"Otherwise, what do you think I'm running around for? Wouldn't it be good to spend this time at home for the elderly and leisure?"

Duanmuhuai silently looked at the sky at forty-five degrees, this world is really an unlucky place, and he himself is also very unlucky to cross into this world... But what else can we do? Now he has no other choice but to work hard to strengthen himself. Duanmuhuai was actually not very good at fighting with large armies. He was not the kind of person who liked to command large guilds, so he always acted alone.

In fact, Duanmu Huai hoped that the Human Empire would stand firm, and that the Tribunal would be responsible for its assistance—well, this is all fantasy now, and he has no other choice but to rely on himself.

Augustus didn't seem to care about these, she just looked ahead quietly, and then spoke.

"bright."

"oh?"

Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked forward, as expected, in the depths of the dark and dark region, he saw a faint light, that orange-red, flame-like light was like a lighthouse in the darkness, guiding everyone forward —or, like a dangerous bait, lures the ignorant like moths to destruction and death.

Every time the gate of the underground labyrinth is opened, it will lead to a different road. Duanmuhuai has never walked this road, and he doesn't know what lies ahead.

"Let's go and see, and hope we are lucky."

Duanmu Huai cheered up at this moment, the confrontation with Chaos is indeed easy to make people sad, especially considering the endless fighting and death, but the advantage of Duanmu Huai is that he doesn't pay much attention to these things that will happen in the future. He is more focused on the present and the past, which is also very similar to the abilities he has acquired. It's just that Duanmu Huai didn't worry about the future like treacherous deceit. For Duanmu Huai, the distant future was never a problem.

It will only be a problem if the future becomes ongoing in the present.

But now, Duanmuhuai's only idea is to find a city of gray dwarves, drow or mind flayers as soon as possible, and kill them there, enjoying the miserable wailing and death of those dirty, corrupt, depraved and evil underground aliens.

Unfortunately, his luck was not good at all.

The stone gate in front of him is huge and full of majesty, thick and strong enough to resist all attacks. However, the creatures standing in front of Duanmuhuai were shorter than dwarves, and their thin bodies seemed to have no sense of fighting. Although they held spears and short swords, to Duanmuhuai—a group of kittens Puppies are no deterrent.

"It's a dwarf, bad luck."

Duanmuhuai sighed silently. Most of the people living in the Underdark are evil creatures, except for two races, one is dwarves and the other is gnomes.

Everyone knows the situation of dwarves. Mining, being good at casting, and being as stubborn as stone are the biggest stereotypes outsiders have of them, although it is not far from the truth.

Gnomes are somewhat different. They are optimistic by nature and like to carve gems, but there is another important point, that is, gnomes are one of the first races on this planet to start scientific experiments and industrialization.

Logically speaking, once any civilized race has mastered industrialization, it should advance by leaps and bounds. But in fact, the strength of the dwarf is very subtle. It is lower than the dwarf, but it is enough to protect itself from being destroyed by other cities in the Underdark, but it stops there. Logically speaking, assuming that the dwarves really have powerful mechanical manufacturing capabilities, it would not be a problem to sweep the entire Underdark.

But they can't.

The reason is simple, that is, the industrialization of gnomes has not been smooth.

For example, the gnomes once created hoists to move large stones—a very necessary requirement given their small, thin stature.

So logically speaking, this kind of thing is so easy to use, it should be popular among the dwarves soon, but this is not the case. This is different from the neurotic self-protection of the Mechanicus. The biggest problem with the dwarf's invention is that it cannot be copied.

A dwarf creates a certain kind of machinery, even if another dwarf uses the same material, the same structure, and the same method to build it, it will still fail in the end.

This is a very strange thing, because according to industrial standards, it should not be like this.

This is also one of the reasons why until now, the technological level of the entire Faerun continent and even this planet is not very high.

If it is said that Manalia and the Holy City are simply lagging behind because they have not reached this level for too short a time, then Faerun feels more artificial.

In fact, there have been rumors among players that the reason why Faerun was unable to successfully carry out the industrialization revolution was because of the gods. They clearly saw the threat of the industrialization revolution to the gods. The gods of this world need the power of faith , and once civilization succeeds in industrialization, their reliance on gods will decrease, so these gods have joined forces to cast a certain curse or enchantment on this world, resulting in any attempt at industrial revolution on this planet. Similarly, a machine cannot be copied perfectly, even if it knows the principle to manufacture, it will only fail or be accidentally destroyed.

Over time, creatures in this world have gotten used to this situation, and in their common sense—all kinds of problems will always happen to such "gadgets", and this is common sense, just like apples falling from trees As firm as the ground.

Well, Duanmuhuai had no interest in this, but he was a little disappointed to find a dwarf, at least it meant that he couldn't carry out a massacre of the city that made people feel happy.

"Hey, little guy."

Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand and grabbed a guard, who was struggling on his steel palm like a fat hamster.

"I'm not interested in your city, so I just want to ask a question, are there any good places nearby?"

"You, what are you talking about?? What a good place?"

"Drows, gray dwarves, mind flayers, goblins if they can't do it, those god damned, damned, the gathering places of evil races whose bodies should be burned in flames forever, I think you must know this The surrounding situation."

Duanmuhuai stared at the soldier in front of him, and asked in a low voice. At this moment, the other dwarfs had raised their weapons and looked at Duanmuhuai in surprise. However, Duanmuhuai didn't care about the reactions of these dwarfs. Sitting on her shoulders, she admired the gate in front of her, while Yan Wei stood behind Duanmuhuai, with two short swords fluttering up and down in her hands—— she did not hide her contempt for these dwarfs at all.

At least in Yanwei's opinion, these dwarves were far worse than the black iron giant who fought Duanmuhuai just now.

Hearing Duanmuhuai's question, the guard trembled even more. The drow itself was the dwarf's formidable enemy, and the mind flayers were even more terrifying. The gray dwarves were relatively better, but the dwarves were unwilling to deal with them. He looked at Duanmu Huai as if he was looking at a lunatic—as if a human being on the surface heard someone saying that he was going to slay a dragon, which was absurd and horrified.

"Answer my question, dwarf, I'm not in a good mood right now."

The battle with the Black Legion just now made Duanmu Huai feel very bad. The spirit of fear had already begun to overflow around him, and the dwarves were also trembling at this moment. They even wanted to throw down their weapons and turn around and run away.

"Your manner is somewhat rude, visitor."

At this moment, a voice sounded, Duanmuhuai raised his head, and saw the huge stone door opened a crack, and then a dwarf came out.

"I'm just here to ask for directions."

Duanmuhuai put down the dwarf guard in his hand.

"Give me an answer, and I will leave immediately, but I hope you will not deceive me. Although I have no hostility towards dwarves, the Inquisition will never tolerate deception."

"Aren't you afraid that I will lead you into the cave of the red dragon and let its flames burn you all?"

"If you can really show me a way to the red dragon's lair, then I will be very grateful."

What Duanmu Huai said was true, such a thing as dragon slaying was beyond the reach of a player. If this dwarf really tricked him into going to the dragon's lair, it would be too late for him to be grateful to the other party.

"weirdo."

The dwarf captain stared at Duanmu Huai suspiciously. He had seen many adventurers from outside, but none of them had such a strange combination, and...very dangerous.

"I can give you a map, but only the area around the city. You should understand that we will not venture to those dangerous places."

"I understand that as long as there is a general direction, it is enough, and we can do the rest ourselves."

At worst, it would be fine to grab a tongue and press for questioning, this is the specialty of the judge.

"Well, you... are not the first group of adventurers I saw to go deep into the Underdark, but I still want to remind you that the Underdark is more dangerous than you think."

"Thank you for your advice."

Duanmu Huai took the map from the dwarf captain, nodded, then turned and left, while Yan Wei glanced at them and followed Duanmu Huai.

Seeing the figures of the three disappear into the shadow of the tunnel, all the dwarves breathed a sigh of relief.

"The stone is on top, I thought I was going to die just now."

The dwarf soldier who was held by Duanmuhuai couldn't even stand up right now, his body was covered in cold sweat.

"Okay, stand up, it is your responsibility to guard the city gate!"

The dwarf captain glanced at the figure who had disappeared in the tunnel, then withdrew his gaze and yelled at his subordinates angrily.

He had a premonition that he would see each other again in the future.
