Chapter 60: Traveling again in the old place
In the deep underground, a gray dwarf caravan walked through the complex underground passage.
With the help of the pathological blue light emitted by the fungi, they move forward in this dark and dim environment, just like explorers exploring unknowns, and every move reveals a cautious attitude.
The gray dwarf businessman Taracott sat in a car dragged by a giant underground slug, and was happily describing to Brian the city they were about to arrive.
His voice was full of excitement and pride, as if it was not the first time he came to this city, but had a deep affection for it.
"Dear Mr. Brian, what awaits us ahead is the City of Aurons. This dark elf city, which was first established five thousand years ago, is the most prosperous, powerful, oldest and of course richest city of all the city states of the Crown War. When the first kingdom of the Dark Elf collapsed in the Great Summit, Aurons City became the leader of many city states."
After leaving the Eye Demon Tyrant's lair, Brian kept moving towards the ancient Orence City.
His purpose is clear and firm, looking for notes on magic rituals by Spider Mage and Chief Mage Haidow.
This is a key item to solve the chaos in the dark area and send the Lord of the Abyss back to his hometown.
For this reason, he has already made full preparations.
Although Brian has strong strength, he knows that these two mages are not easy opponents to deal with.
After careful consideration, he decided to sneak into the city in a more secure way - joining a caravan.
And Taracott, the gray dwarf businessman, is an excellent choice he encountered in the tunnels in the dark area.
Facing the story of the gray dwarf Taracott being like a river, Brian couldn't help but feel amazed.
He pretended to be surprised and said, "Five thousand years? It's really incredible. Even the once glorious arcane empire, Naserel, has only been more than three thousand years."
The gray dwarf businessman's eyes shine with awe for history, nodding in agreement:
"It's really amazing. The dark elves have a long history, more than 10,000 years. Even among the city of Drow, there are few ancient Orence that can match it."
His voice reveals his deep admiration for history.
The gray dwarf merchant paused for a moment, as if he was savoring the long history, then shook his head and continued:
"Although the dark elves have unparalleled skills and aesthetics, their capricious style of conduct is always a headache. Although it is profitable and risky to do business with them, I feel that my life is shortened every time I trade with them."
After hearing this, Brian smiled: "I once heard from a scholar that if a businessman has 50% profit, he will take risks and 100% profit. He dares to trample on all laws in the world and 300% profit. He dares to commit any crime or even risk losing his head."
He looked at the gray dwarf businessman and asked, "Tarakot, since you are so afraid of the dark elves but are willing to do business with them every year, I guess the city of Guorens is a place that will allow you to make a lot of profits, right?"
The gray dwarf merchant laughed, slapped hard on his thigh, and exclaimed: "That scholar's words are really a famous saying! As for the ancient Orence City, it is indeed a place full of opportunities and challenges. If you want a fortune, it is almost impossible, unless you go for a risky robbery.
But if you say you make ten times or hundreds of times profits, as long as you act carefully and take care of the arrogant character and face of the Drows, there is still a great chance. How about it, Mr. Brian, consider working with me? With you being by my side, the treasures in the treasure house of the Dark Elf will continue to flow to us like a spring."
"Cooperate? I don't know how to do business." Although Brian asked, he looked indifferent.
"It doesn't matter, I can teach you, do you know what the Dark Elves love most? "Tarakot deliberately kept it a secret, with a mysterious light flashing on his face.
Brian was confused, his eyes full of curiosity and desire to explore, and he asked softly: "What is that?"
The grey dwarf businessman's mouth raised, and a deep wisdom appeared in his eyes: "That is gladiator. For the Dark Elves, a race obsessed with blood and fighting, gladiator is the stage for them to release their passion and wildness."
He became more and more excited as he spoke. He raised his head and drank a large sip of wine, wiped the wine sprinkled on his snow-white beard, and then continued to talk: "The dark elves are like hawks and falcons in the dark area, longing to fly freely in the sky. When facing enemies, they will wield swords without hesitation to show their brave and fearless fighting spirit. In the absence of enemies, they will create enemies for themselves like hunters making prey, and even kill each other under the drive of passion.
However, under the strict control of the ruling council of the city of Old Orence, they were unable to publicly satisfy their desire to fight.
As a result, gladiators came into being and became a place for them to vent their strong energy.
Imagine the dark elves catching all kinds of strange monsters from deep tunnels in the dark area, and then putting them into a magic-protected arena.
There, the beasts bite each other and fought, and the scene was bloody and spectacular.
The dark elves were watching this cruel feast, as if it was their festival.
Not only that, the dark elves sometimes even come to the scene in person and fight fiercely with these monsters.
They experience the joy of victory in battle, feel the thrill and sense of accomplishment brought by every swing of the knife and every dodge."
Brian smiled, saw through the gray dwarf businessman's thoughts, and said with a smile: "It seems that as long as I am willing to act as a battle opponent of the Dark Elves, Taracott's wallet will be filled instantly, right?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! As expected, the world is as dark as crows, and it is almost impossible to meet a good person in a dark area.
If you really believe in these underground races, you may be sold and you will still count the money for people.
The gray dwarf businessman Taracott smiled dryly and rubbed his hands, and was a little unwilling to accept it. His eyes were shining with a greedy light, and he comforted Brian with great sincerity:
"Sir, you should know that although the army of the Dark Elves is a nightmare in the dark area, the strength of the Dark Elves is not very good. They usually choose bear goblins, trolls or ogres as their opponents.
And you, with the power of your husband, will naturally be no problem to deal with those monsters, and you can even fight against the earth monsters or the taurus. Your joining will undoubtedly bring unprecedented passion and excitement to this battle..."
In the warm atmosphere of the conversation, the gray dwarf businessman suddenly changed his face and stood up suddenly, and ordered his subordinates with a nervous expression:
"Stop now! Assemble everyone and count the number quickly!"
The command spread quickly like thunder, and every member of the convoy felt the unquestionable sense of urgency, and they carried out the command without hesitation.
The tense atmosphere spread rapidly in the convoy and enveloped the hearts of every member.
The result of the check was heart-wrenching, and three gray dwarves disappeared mysteriously.
This sudden change made the gray dwarf soldiers feel fear. A trace of firmness and determination flashed in their eyes. They immediately trained to pull out weapons from their waists and prepare to deal with the upcoming crisis.
This is a team of fully armed gray dwarves. Even in the dark areas where crises are full of dangers, these powerful warriors are enough to discourage any potential enemy.
More than fifty gray dwarves carefully lined up back to back into defensive circles. Their eyes were sharp and they did not miss any suspicious points.
However, in the large cave where they are now, the huge stalactites hanging upside down above their heads are like darkness covering everything, the ground is rugged and broken, and there are countless places where monsters may hide.
Brian quietly observed everything around him, his eyes deep and sharp.
Suddenly, his thoughts moved, as if he had noticed something abnormal, and immediately reminded the gray dwarfs: "Be careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of gray-white tentacles suddenly stretched out from under the hanging stalactites, and quickly shot towards the two gray dwarves on the ground like monster pythons. They screamed in horror.
These two unlucky guys didn't even have time to wave their weapons to resist, and their tentacles had already wrapped around their necks.
In an instant, the sound of a broken neck bone was clearly heard. After two crisp sounds of "光, 光" sounds, the heavy body of the gray dwarf was raised by the tentacles, which quickly retracted and disappeared into the shadow of the stalactites.
