Chapter 1034 Mysterious Dwarf
"Is it Joan?" Ryan's weak voice came from a dark corner deep in the cave, "I'm fine, but Lori's condition is not very good..."
"let me see!"
Audrey walked quickly to Ryan, leaning over to observe the unconscious Mr. Pastor who was held in his arms.
Holden lightly stroked the dagger, reactivated the "Daylight", and lowered the brightness of the light to the level of a candle, so that his sister could diagnose Lowry's injury without leaking the light outside the cave and causing Come dark elves.
At the same time that Audrey was checking on Lowry's injury, Hailar asked Angel, "What happened to you, and why did it become so miserable?"
Angel shook his head, a wry smile appeared on his pretty face.
"In fact, even I myself haven't fully understood why I suffered from this unexpected disaster?"
"It's a long story, so I have to start from the beginning."
Angel took out two foldable portable benches from the storage bag and handed them to Joan and Hailaer, beckoning them to sit down and chat.
"It's only been four days since we teleported to the dungeon. However, some things that happened during this period still confuse me."
"On the first day of our journey, we met a strange little man near the teleportation station."
"That guy is a subterranean gnome with a baby face. His conversation is lively and funny. He is not as serious and boring as other subsurface gnomes. If his complexion is not gray, he would give the impression that he is more like a surface gnome."
"The person in charge of the teleportation station told us that this little dwarf is named Bellin, and he comes from the underground city 'Sudri Stone City' where subterranean dwarves have lived for generations."
"The subterranean gnomes, also known as 'black gnomes' or 'Sneblin', are not as enthusiastic and humorous as their surface relatives, but they are also kind-hearted in nature and have a good relationship with us humans. They often come to the place where the teleportation point is located. Trading station, use gems, stone carvings or other local products to exchange modern industrial products that gnomes cannot produce."
"The dwarf mage named Belling is a frequent visitor to the trading post, and he is well acquainted with the local staff. In addition to buying and selling goods, he also claims to be an explorer who loves to travel, and occasionally borrows the teleportation array of the trading post to go to the surface. world tour."
"With this relationship, when Belling came to say hello to us, we didn't suspect that he had ulterior motives. Arnold also invited him to drink a glass of beer."
"While we were drinking together, Bellin learned that we were going to survey and draw maps near the dungeon of Oaknell, so he made a request, hoping that we could take him there, and it would be best to escort him into the city of Oaknell .”
"We originally planned to go to the city to investigate, but this trip is too risky. We don't know anything about Belling, so of course we don't want to take him with us."
"Berlin pleaded repeatedly, and later offered to pay each of us half a pound of magic crystals as a reward for guarding him infiltrating into Oaknell City."
"Half a pound of magic crystals is not a small sum for us. In addition, it is pitiful to see him. In the end, everyone agreed to take him on the road together."
Having said that, Angel sighed, showing a hint of remorse.
"The first two days of the itinerary went smoothly, and we got along quite happily with Belling."
"Once we got to Oaknell, we started preparing to go into town."
"Oknell is different from other drow cities that are closed, conservative, and keen on internal strife. The ruling family encourages commerce and trade, and does not restrict foreign business travelers from entering the city. Of course, the premise is to abide by the legal provisions made by the drows. Pay taxes according to the regulations."
"Considering that we had conflicts with the drow prospecting team before, we decided to disguise ourselves as dark elves for fear that they would hold grudges and dare not enter the city with their true colors."
"Frankly speaking, Belling helped a lot during this period. He is an 8th-level mage who specializes in the illusion school and is an expert in changing faces."
"Berlin cast a spell to turn us all into fake drow rogues, and fabricated a set of detailed backgrounds for each of us to prepare for the patrol inspection of the city's security team."
"With Belling's assistance, we sneaked into the city without any risk, settled down in the hotel, and had dinner at the bar that night. Belling bid us farewell and left on his own."
"Since then, until now, we have never seen that dwarf mage again, but troubles have followed."
"We spent two days in the city walking the streets of Oaknell adding detail to the map."
"Now there are only a few restricted areas where tourists are not allowed to enter, such as the residences of the major families, as well as the fighting tower, warlock school, and spider academy. These places are too dangerous, and Arnold and Lowry don't allow us to venture close. "
"Next, we also want to visit the famous 'Odd Object Auction' in Oaknell City. It is said that if you are lucky, you can buy adamantine magic tools at a very cheap price."
Hearing what Angor said, Joan couldn't help coughing twice, and immediately attracted the attention of his companions.
"The fine gold items sold by Drow... unless you have absolute confidence in your eyesight, don't be tempted no matter how cheap it is."
"That thing is probably the product of the earth vein enchantment. It is used in the dark environment of the ground, and it is no different from the real fine gold product. But if it is brought into the sun... then wait and cry!"
The drows have a traditional enchanting technique, which is to extract the radiant energy of the magic crystal veins and use it to replace the real magic crystals as a stabilizer for making magic tools. By the way, they use shadow magic power to transform steel products into pure gold texture.
The magic tool produced in this way is like real fine gold in terms of color and hardness, and the special effects of enchanting can also be used normally in the underground world.
However, once such a magic device is brought to the surface world and out of the radiation range of the leylines, the spell effect attached to the embryo material will lose its effect.
If it is irradiated by the sun, even the shadow energy attached to the magic tool will be dissipated, and the weapons and equipment that originally looked like pure gold will instantly turn into a pile of rusted iron filings.
In this situation, Qiao An felt that it was hard not to shed distressed tears on the spot for those unlucky people who thought they had bought a bargain.
"In fact, we didn't even have the chance to go to the auction house. As soon as we got to the gate, we were stopped by the security captain holding the 'Gem of True Knowledge'...Compared with what happened afterwards, I would rather be cheated by a profiteer selling fake goods Bundle."
Angel shrugged and spread his hands, with a wry smile on his face.
"Under the perspective of the 'Gem of True Knowledge', our disguise was all in vain, and we were surrounded by drow guards on the street, asking us about our true identity and our intention to enter the city."
