At the only entrance, a huge steel gate stands there, completely physically separating the inside and outside.

Unless permission is obtained, even if there are hundreds of thousands of troops outside, there is no hope of being able to invade.

In addition, this steel gate is not opened and closed by a gate or a winch, but is controlled by magic.

When you walk through the gate and enter the interior, the first thing you see is the huge stone pillar standing in the center of the city - the Narbandel Pillar.

This is a device specially used by dark elves to calculate time.

Since there are no seasons and no alternation of day and night in the Underdark, at the end of the day, the Archmage of the Mage Tower will bless the stone pillars with magical flames.

The temperature generated by the violent burning of the magic flame will make the entire stone pillar look red in the eyes of all creatures with dark vision, including dark elves.

Together, the dark elves can determine what time of day it is by observing the temperature of the stone pillars.

At the end of the day, the magical flame will be completely extinguished and then cast again by the Archmage.

As a relatively large underground city, Menzoberranzan is home to nearly 20,000 dark elves and almost two to three times the number of slaves.

The main sources of slaves are goblins, orcs, half-orcs and bugbears that can be found everywhere.

As for guys like gray dwarves who are disciplined, obedient, and master certain craftsmanship and metal smelting techniques, they are usually more sought-after high-level slaves.

Normally, if a goblin can only be sold for fifty gold coins on the market, then orcs and half-orcs can sell for one hundred and fifty to two hundred gold coins, and bugbears can sell for between three hundred and five hundred gold coins.

time.

The price of gray dwarf slaves is often at the same level as that of trolls, and can be sold for eight hundred to one thousand gold coins.

Of course, the most expensive slaves are dark elf slaves.

Their origins are very complex. Some of them made mistakes and were demoted as slaves, and some were unable to repay huge debts and had no choice but to let their creditors sell them as slaves.

In short, the status and treatment of dark elf slaves are definitely much higher than those of slaves of other races.

If you perform well enough, you might be able to win your freedom again.

In the market of Menzoberranzan, you can even see mind flayers, Githyanki, and beholders coming to do business.

Especially since the first two were completely mortal enemies, they did not start a fight after meeting, but chose to ignore each other's existence.

At a stall selling goblin slaves, a male dark elf warrior bought six goblins at once, chopped off their limbs at lightning speed, and forced them to go crazy on the ground by adding salt to the wounds.

squirm, and then make a bet with another group of dark elves next to them to see which goblin will die first and which one can climb farther.

Every time the goblins let out painful screams, they would laugh loudly and even take off their pants to urinate on the goblins, fully displaying the evil, coldness and cruelty of their natures.

The dark elf who finally lost the money became so angry that he raised his foot and trampled the goblin who persisted to the end into a pulp.

When other dark elves in the market saw this scene, they just complained that the other party should not have made the scene so bloody, as it would be very troublesome to clean up.

In addition to killing goblins, Menzoberranzan also has a very long-standing tradition, which is to drive living slaves to areas where giant spiders live, and then watch them be killed and eaten by those ferocious arthropods.<

Looking at the visually stunning sight in front of him, Drizzt couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "How do you feel now?"

"Maybe you won't believe it, but I actually don't have any special feelings." Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

"Don't you feel angry? Among the slaves who were fed spiders, there were many human adventurers." Drizzt showed an unbearable look on his face.

"Angry? Why should I be angry?" Zuo Si asked nonchalantly. "These human adventurers are not innocent civilians. If they choose to enter the Dark Territory, they should be prepared to face such a situation. As for the goblins and orcs,

I never think they should be classified into the category of "human beings". Well, don't be so sentimental, don't forget that we are not on this trip to save anyone, but to obtain information about the fungal forest."

Just when Drizzt was about to say something, a arrogant-looking drow woman came over with a large entourage.

She first glanced at the goods with interest, then turned her attention to the gray dwarf slaves listed for sale, touched her chin and asked with interest: "What is the total cost to buy all these goods plus the gray dwarf slaves?"

How much?"

"If you include the Los Beast, the total cost is 80,000 gold coins, noble mistress." Zuo Si directly reported a number.

From the opponent's posture and the noble badge worn on her chest, he could basically confirm the approximate identity of the female drow in front of him.

It's just that I don't know what kind of family the other party is, and what their current position is in Menzoberranzan.
