Chapter 236 The Underdark Area
Standing on the edge of the huge dark and deep cave, Drizzt hesitated. He was about to return there, to that land where the mysterious starlight praised by poets had never shined.
After more than ten days of sailing and more than ten days of land trek, Luo Feng's team and Mithril team finally arrived at the entrance to the Underdark in Drizzt's memory, the exit from which he once escaped.
During this month, Drizzt would hold a candlelight conversation with Bradero every night, and he had a deeper understanding of the principles described in the book.
But coming here again, the Dark Elf Ranger still had a trace of hesitation and a little doubt in his heart. Can he really rely on the principles in that book to overthrow the reign of terror of Spider Queen Rose in Menzoberranzan?
"Afraid of being close to home? Lack of confidence?"
Bradlow patted him on the shoulder, smiled and said to him: "There is a proverb in the East, called 'Everything is difficult at the beginning.' I will try my best to help you create a good situation. Go forward boldly, my friend. .”
"It's hard for me to imagine the Dark Elves changing as radically as you suggest."
Drizzt smiled bitterly and said: "Did you know that there is no word 'love' in the language of the drow? The closest word is 'ssinssrigg', but that word actually means lust and greed."
The ranger sighed and continued: "Of course, there is love in the hearts of some drows. But true love, selfless dedication and sacrifice, are absolutely impossible in a drow world full of pain, danger and mutual killing. There is no place for it.”
Bradlow smiled and asked: "So, after leaving the Underdark for so long, do you feel the love? Do you understand this concept that does not exist in your national dictionary?"
"When I left the Underdark, I had not yet stepped onto the surface world, and the concept of love was already familiar to me."
Drizzt recalled: "I love Zaknavan, I love Belwar and Kuraka...In fact, it was the acceptance and need for love that drove me to leave Menzoberranzan."
"Don't worry, Drizzt. The book says: 'The old society forced people to become ghosts, and the new society turns ghosts into people.' The society of dark elves is a society where individuals cannibalize people. As long as this kind of exploitation is completely changed, and a system of class oppression, you will find that your fellow Dark Elves crave love just as much as you do."
Drizzt nodded, and he finally moved his lead-like legs, leading the two adventure teams into the dark cave.
As we walked along the twists and turns of the cave, the light was gradually left behind. On both sides of the cave appeared rugged stalagmites like dragon teeth, and broken and sharp stone edges.
Fluorescent mushrooms and moss replace natural light, and the faint green fluorescence only allows people to see the blurry outlines around them.
Neither team lit a torch. Lighting a torch in the Underdark is like using a spear to pick up a piece of bloody meat in the dense forest, which will attract countless monsters.
Drizzt is gifted with dark vision, as is the shield dwarf Bruenor.
Yao En had already distributed the night vision goggles he invented to the members of the two teams, so that they could use low light to identify scenery in the dark.
Luo Feng did not wear night vision goggles, and the mere darkness could not cover his eyes.
There is no wind in the underdark area, and occasionally the sound of water drops can be heard. In the darkness in the distance, a pair of vertical pupils reflecting the faint light will often appear to observe quietly. After realizing that this group of travelers is very powerful, they quickly disappear.
Those eyes that suddenly appear and disappear probably belong to the underground lizards that are common in the underdark.
The two teams trekked all the way, and under Drizzt's guidance, after bypassing countless twists and turns and gray rocks, they came to a cave two miles wide and thousands of feet high.
Looking from a distance, in the thick darkness, a city loomed in sight.
From a purely visual perspective, it was an elegant city, with spiral and slender spiers standing there, just like the beautiful figures and chiseled faces of the dark elves.
Drizzt looked at this city, the place where he was born, with mixed emotions. Before meeting Bredero, he never thought he would return here in his lifetime.
"That's Menzoberranzan."
The dark elf ranger pointed at the city and said: "I have been away for a long time. I don't know which family is now. Maybe it is the Baenre family? When I left, the Baenre family was the first family. No matter it is a single family, Neither family alliances can shake its status."
"How do we sneak into this city?" The dark elves turned to Bradero and asked him: "The dark elves will not let foreigners into the city unless they are slaves. And I have always been the most wanted person in Menzoberranzan. If you commit a crime, you will be attacked as soon as you show up.”
"No, we will not enter Menzoberranzan for the time being."
Bredreau shook his head and said: "The first thing we have to do is to leave a piece of video data for future generations, so that they can witness the moment when this great change began."
Drizzt was stunned. He knew that the Bradero Troupe had a magical invention that could absorb light and shadow into magic crystals to store them and then play them on another machine, but he didn't understand the meaning of doing so.
"Cameron, take out the camera and let's take some pictures as a souvenir."
Luo Feng gave the order, and the dwarf special effects artist immediately took out a full set of photography equipment from the dimensional bag and found a flat ground to set up.
Luo Feng waved to Drizzt and asked him to stand in front of the camera.
"Maybe you don't think it's necessary now, but think about it, if you succeed and really build a new country, how much inspiration will these video materials have to the citizens? The people need the power of role models."
Drizzt was reluctant, but he also admitted that what Bradero said was reasonable, but the dark elf, who had no stage experience, looked very embarrassed standing in front of the camera.
"Don't be nervous, relax. You have to show the lofty ideals of a revolutionary, the spirit of daring to sacrifice and fight in the face of the base camp of the reactionary forces! You must also show that you once escaped from this city, but now you have the courage to come back and overthrow Ross. evil reign.”
Luo Feng, who was a very experienced director, guided patiently, but Drizzt could only respond to him with a wry smile.
"Forget it, I'll give you instructions. Just follow my instructions and follow my instructions."
Drizzt nodded helplessly.
Luo Feng gestured to him and said, "Take out the scimitar and raise it slightly."
Drizzt drew Ice Death and Flash, holding scimitars in both hands.
"One scimitar is pointed at the city of Menzoberranzan, and the other scimitar sword is hanging down to the ground. The expression is more determined and angry..."
Under the guidance of Bradlow, the Dark Elf Ranger assumed an extremely handsome posture, showing his fearless spirit and high fighting spirit.
This scene was photographed and two copies were made. One was kept for historical records, and the other became Luo Feng’s private collection.
