Chapter 633: Phantom of the Dark City

Here, we must first explain the history of Waterdeep.

Waterdeep was not originally a city of humans, but a city of elves and dwarves. Later, due to conflicts between the two parties, the elves left the city, while the dwarves dug tunnels and disappeared without a trace.

So when humans came to the Northland and found that there was such a fully functional and uninhabited uninhabited city - they naturally happily accepted it.

Facts have proved that the approach of the elves and dwarves is correct. Ever since humans lived in Waterdeep City, troubles have occurred here every day, and there are little monsters that want to destroy them at every turn.

Okay, I digress.

After humans occupied Waterdeep City, they naturally discovered the underground tunnels dug by the dwarves all over Waterdeep City. No one knows where these underground tunnels lead. There was once a mage named Helferson who took his apprentice into the underground passage to investigate, but later disappeared. Many people said that he was lost in the depths of the dark area and turned into a mad mage. Among humans, After living in Waterdeep, countless adventurers went to explore the depths of the Underdark, but few of them came back alive.

There are also legends that this tunnel leads to hell, because there are many monsters that have never been seen underground, and they will come to the surface of Waterdeep City through these tunnels anytime and anywhere late at night, killing people in Waterdeep City in the dark. Residents - Of course, this is just a legend.

Okay, that’s it for the background, and the commission brought by Emilia is also related to the tunnels all over Waterdeep City. To put it simply - an adventure team disappeared deep into the tunnel, and Master Kelben hopes that all adventurers can find that adventure team and bring them back.

Of course, as one of the masked lords of Waterdeep City, Master Kelben will not pay attention to those ordinary adventure teams. The reason why he pays attention to this adventure team is that it includes his students and his nephews. Danilo Sann.

With Kelben's identity, it is certainly impossible for him to leave Waterdeep City and go to the Dark Territory, but he cannot just find other people to help deal with this matter. After all, one of his identities is the masked lord of Waterdeep City and his nephew. The disappearance of the apprentice might attract the attention of some interested people.

Therefore, when Emilia came to visit on behalf of Neverwinter City to express her gratitude for providing the antidote to the plague for Kelben's black staff, Kelbourne immediately thought of this solution.

So he asked Emilia for help and led the adventure team deep underground to find his missing nephew.

As a Paladin of Tyr, Emilia is naturally obligated to do this, and then it depends on what other people think.

"I agree, and I haven't been to the Underdark yet."

Touching the red and swollen face beaten by Rosia, Kasim said pitifully--Indeed, the Underdark is one of the legends passed down by adventurers. After all, gray dwarves, illithid, and drow Whatnot... But they are all famous.

Not to mention Baator Hell.

Although from a physical point of view, no matter how hard you dig, you cannot reach Baator Hell.

Rosia glanced at Kasim worriedly, then looked away angrily, and then nodded.

"Okay...that's okay with me too."

"Then Mr. Duanmu..."

"I don't really like going underground, but it's okay to be idle..."

Duanmu Huai also had no objection. In fact, he could be said to be very excited at the moment. After all, Duanmu Huai also wanted to test whether his pink book worked.

"But I want to declare in advance that as a judge, I will not let those underground heretics go. As long as they are discovered by me, they will only die. Even their city will be completely destroyed."

Whether they are gray dwarves, drow, illithids or any other mess, from the perspective of the Inquisition, they are all heretics, and they will all be killed on sight.

"Well……………"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Amelia felt a little uneasy. Of course, as a Paladin of Tyr, she also hopes that justice will be served, but... to be honest, Emilia is not confident that she can kill the entire Underdark.

After all, there were only five of them.

"But there are only five of us, and we are weak. Wouldn't it be a bit..."

"Something?"

Duanmuhuai glanced at Amelia.

"Why, you don't want to fight because you think there is a disparity in strength? Then as a Paladin of Tyr, if you encounter a Balor Balrog, do you have to kneel down and surrender?"

"of course not!"

Speaking of which, as a paladin, Emilia naturally couldn't bear it.

"I just think our mission is... well, I'm not going to back down."

If Emilia said no at this time, then she wouldn't want to be a paladin.

"We want to help too!"

Kasim on the other side fully explained what it means that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

"Although the Underdark is very scary, as adventurers, we will never back down like this!"

"I hope you won't blame me when the time comes. This isn't going to hunt wild wolves in the forest, you're a rookie."

Duanmu Huai looked at the enthusiastic Cassim and curled his lips. All rookies are like this. At the beginning, they all fantasize about being able to kill everyone. However, in fact, only Duanmu Huai and Ogis can really kill everyone in this team. If the others are beaten up, they will only die.

Especially these two, they are the weaknesses of the team at first glance. If they are placed in a place like the Underdark, it would be strange if they don’t beat you to death.

But this has nothing to do with Duanmu Huai, he has already reminded you.

"I will try not to drag my feet!"

Although Duanmu Huai poured cold water, Cassim still did not retreat. After all, he and Luo Xia also found the raw materials of the plague antidote lost in Neverwinter. Although they don’t know how dangerous their journey is, it will definitely not be as easy as finding a cat or a dog. It seems that... they are also somewhat capable.

"Then come on."

Since they have decided to go to the Underdark, they naturally have to prepare food and various equipment. So everyone decided to go shopping tomorrow and then set off.

Meanwhile, deep in the dark underground...

"——————！！

Angest suddenly opened her eyes and sat up. Her eyes were red, her whole body was shaking, and she let out an almost inaudible roar.

"Madam!!"

A drow guard pushed the door open and walked in. But the next moment, a ray of negative energy shot out from the woman's fingertips and hit the guard who was meddling in other people's business. The next moment, he fell to the ground and was quickly dragged out.

No one spoke, no one made a sound, and the whole room was silent, as if nothing had happened.

After a while, Angest put on her priest robes, then she stood up and walked out of the bedroom. There, the fully armed drow guards quietly waited for her orders, like long swords unsheathed. Angest stared at the guards around her coldly, and then looked away.

"Notify everyone to gather in the audience room."

After saying this, she stepped coldly forward.

The dim audience room was still as suffocating as usual. Angst sat on the throne on top of the spider statue, and beside her stood several high-level priests.

"Madam, we have all gathered as you requested."

"Yes."

Madam Angst nodded, and then she glanced at the people below.

"Just now, the great spider goddess gave me an oracle."

Speaking of this, several high-level priests next to her keenly noticed that Madam Angst's voice seemed no longer as steady and domineering as usual, but trembled slightly, and even her body became tense.

"In the omen given to me by the great god, we saw destruction, the destruction of our family, and the destruction of this city, everything will be devoured by the flames. No one can be spared, even our souls cannot return to the arms of the great goddess, but will wail in the flames and turn into ashes..."

"This..."

It must be said that everyone was shocked when they heard this.

"Madam? Are you sure...? No, I'm not doubting the future foreseen by the great Spider Goddess, but... who will it be? In this area, we are the most powerful family, and this city is also an incomparable and unconquerable fortress, and it is also favored by the Spider Goddess..."

"I don't need you to explain!"

Madam Angster slapped the face of the high-level priest who dared to stand up and ask questions, knocking her to the ground. Seeing this scene, the martial arts master next to him frowned slightly. He could feel the anger and fear of Madam Angster—yes, she was afraid, and she was angry because of this fear. The martial arts master could understand Madam Angster's thoughts. As the mistress of the Brewster family, she has ruled this family and this city for more than five hundred years. She has never felt fear or fear because she is deeply favored by the Spider Goddess. She is proud of her identity, proud of her family, and proud of this city.

But now, she feels fear, and she should not feel fear.

What did she see?

Is it a disaster? An irresistible natural disaster?

"Martial Arts Master!"

However, at this moment, Madam Angst cast her eyes on the Martial Arts Master.

"I order you to lead a most elite team to the surface as quickly as possible, to a hotel called 'Black Oak' in Waterdeep City, and kill everyone there, leaving no one alive!"

?

Upon hearing this, the Martial Arts Master's first reaction was disbelief, because the meaning of Madam Angst's words was very clear, the existence that was about to bring destruction to this family and this city was in Waterdeep City.

"Yes, Madam."

However, the Martial Arts Master did not put forward his own opinions. For the drow elves, the opinions of men were irrelevant. So he also lowered his head to receive the order, and then quickly turned around and left.

But the Martial Arts Master was still confused at this moment.

What exactly did Madam Angst see that made her so terrified?

What exactly was in that hotel?
