He sighed: "And, I have no right to agree to this matter. The one guarding the portal is the city elder. If you really need it... well, I will negotiate with the three elders Jinbao who are in charge of this matter. Please wait."

He turned around and pushed open the door on the other side of the room, ran over, and closed the door carefully, leaving only the three people who were silent.

Edward sighed softly.

If it is a portal made by natural space gaps, it can theoretically lead to anywhere, and even the other half of the continent is not unpredictable. For a god, it is undoubtedly easier to know all this.

His Majesty the Spider Queen obviously has other purposes.

"Well, ah, everyone, you are really lucky." After about an hourglass scale, the dwarf named Fengyin walked out of the inner room and bowed to the three of them: "Later today, the city will send another patrol team to find out the situation on the portal, so you can also walk with you, but I don't recommend doing this. You'd better wait until you make sure there is no danger there before passing through the portal."

"No need. If you can follow the soldiers of your city, even if there is only one road, I think it will be safe." Edward said, but the dwarf shook his head fiercely: "Sorry, the guest, the member of this patrol team is not ours, but... a special envoy sent by a group of elves."

——

The hotel introduced by Feng Yin adheres to the usual style of a dwarf, and has a very long and twilight name called "Sister's Basin's Slave" and "Of course, it's in the dwarf language, and Edward is too lazy to ask what it translates to.

But no matter what, his cousin named Xiong Ma seems to be a good hotel owner. The warm fire in the cave, the soft beds and a few side dishes made from Luosi beast meat are enough to comfort the travelers. The only thing that makes people feel a little criticized is that the only way to collect the money that needs to be calculated on a day's basis if you have to stay for less than a day.

In fact, the fundamental reason is that after only about five hourglasses, Dwarf Feng Yin ran to the hotel again and told Edward and the other two that the portal team was ready and was about to set off.

This is undoubtedly in line with the living habits of dark areas. For some races such as Zoer, only four hourglass is needed for sufficient sleep, but for humans, such a short rest is actually easy to make people feel tired. So when Edward and his party came to the small square of the portal, all the people who were about to set off this time had already gathered.

This is a wide space opened at the end of the passage. Edward noticed the bright magical aura on three sides of the wall, outlining dozens of huge magic symbols with uncertain light and darkness. There were more than twenty people standing in the center of the square.

With a slightly narrowed look, Edward had already seen a few familiar figures in it - the wide dark green cloak was quite eye-catching in this dark area that advocated dark colors such as purple ash, which was the elves who had met in the passage yesterday.

It turns out that the so-called "elf's special envoy" refers to them?

The psychic warlock slowed down quietly - although I don't know if it has anything to do with the previous group of people, the other party is also a believer of Elise. And when they are on the same path, no matter what angle they think, they are likely to become enemies.

Around these people were more than a dozen of Drow warriors. They were wearing chain armor, their weapons were all longbows and two thin swords. The gray armor was carved with the blue moon pattern of Iristri, and several people had wooden or metal holy emblems on their chests. On the other side of the square were scattered people gathered together.

In addition to standing at the door, a few elderly dwarfs in long robes, the remaining ones were more than a dozen Zhes, the first human, and two or three dwarfs with iron gray skin. These people were divided into three distinct groups. Most of their equipment was varied, from leather armor to full-body armor. Each of them carried at least two weapons. However, from the indifferent look and sharp eyes at everything, it was obvious that they were veterans who were used to walking underground.

The moment Feng Yin led the three into the square, more than 40 gazes of these people gathered on them at the same time. Although they had already put on the thick gray robes that underground travelers liked to cover up their body temperature and body shape, the fluctuations of the magic nets that vaguely surround the three casters were still impossible to hide from these experienced adventurers active in the dark areas. Several human adventurers exchanged several glances with each other, and all their eyes were filled with a little awe. Some of them seemed to want to come up and talk, but they were grabbed by their companions.

However, those elves did not seem to recognize the three people who had just arrived - in fact, they did not pay any attention to these people at all.

"If you are ready, go immediately."

He looked at the dwarf Feng Yin who was following the three of them, and stood in a Zhuoer in the center of the square and said briefly: "Walking out of this portal, it is also a small square, and then you have to pass a tunnel to reach a larger space, where there are three channels dug out. However, I suggest that you should not act rashly after you go out, because there are probably some troublesome things waiting for you there."

In the brief introduction, the three dwarfs had already recited complex spells. After a moment, the wall facing the passage was bright and the stone wall dissipated as if it was dissolved, revealing the orderly space gate of silver and dark blue behind it. The entire passage was shining brightly by the light, and the huge energy seemed to fill all the space in an instant, making everyone feel the numbness and itch like a sharp blade shaving through the skin.

Everyone looked at each other, and the three iron-gray dwarves as the guide walked closer to the shaking space gate.

"Strange, this thing looks familiar..." When stepping into the space of the door, Edward heard the half-elf lady suddenly speak.

Indeed, the moment when the silver light and shadow of the star realm twisted the space, an inexplicable perception became stronger and stronger in Edward's heart.

When the dazzling light dimmed again in the distorted perception, the space around it also spread out like a firefly. Along the traces of the damaged building, it outlined a wonderful outline, standing like a giant rock that has lasted forever, dragging out narrow shadows in the light, as if the fangs of a beast were closing around - until the luster was weak, it finally deposited in the darkness.

Edward raised his head keenly, his eyes falling into the distance, in the deep darkness.

The subtle sound coming from nowhere is far away like an echo disappearing in the mountains, and is close to the ears. It seems to have escaped from the natural law of sound propagating in the air, and directly penetrated the nearly irresistible will into the human soul.

"Symptoms will eventually emerge, and respond to the signs. Someone travels through millions of time and space to come here, holding the silver disaster... ominous will come back to the earth... in the past, in the future, in the present... omnipresent, omnipresent. It was destroyed, and was resurrected, so forever. He held the keys of multiple worlds to open the door to connect with that world... It is the only one, he is not the only one, but only power. To control..."

The psychic sage gently and recited the long text. The ancient verbs used up and down, it flowed slowly through the constraints of time and space.

The space in the dark is a small square with weathered rocks, with slight sand and dust piled up around it. However, when you take a deep breath, there seems to be no mildewy smell at the end of your nose that has been wasted for a long time. The slight air flows dry and cool. Obviously, there is a relatively wide space nearby.

However, his eyes turned slightly, Edward keenly absorbed his mood.

This cave, which is about fifty feet wide, does not seem to be naturally generated. The surface of the four walls is a little smooth, but it is also bumpy. It should be a product of artificial carvings a long time ago. However, what is noticeable is the bumpy walls and ground around it, like signs of running water washing, but it is not so peaceful, and it seems...

"Note, there is something here..." he said, but it was like responding to it. As soon as the prompt sounded, it was swallowed by a shrill scream!

Amid the screams, a human soldier suddenly flew upwards!

Edward's eyes then raised, and he saw a black shadow entrenched on the uneven corner of the ceiling! It was like a large piece of soft cotton wool fitting on the cave wall. The dark brown body flashed with a slight halo, and the whip-like things extended out of it, one by one intertwined one by one. At that moment, it was like a large dark net covering the sky, tightly binding the human struggling figure!

The human bones were zipped into a series of giggles like beans. In just a blink of an eye, blood gushed like a spring from the mouth and nose of the strong adventurer, like a water bag that was squeezed open! In the darkness of the eyes, almost everyone did not notice how the companion disappeared, and could only hear the screams echoing between the cave walls, gradually weakening in the gurgling sound.

The psychic sages softly.

With a light finger, a fire illuminated the darkness and burned the monster entrenched on the sky! The strange thing suddenly let out a leaky roar, and the black tentacle twisted and swung, then threw the dying human, curled up with a snap, landed on the ground from the roof of the shed, and then rolled towards the darkness non-stop!

The next moment, a glow had already lit up. With Lisa's wave, the large ball of colloid-like soft mud suddenly contracted, and then exploded with a bang, splashing around like raindrops!

"Hate, what's this! So disgusting!"

The half-elf screamed in dissatisfaction, and the things that splashed like plaster suddenly stopped in front of her, as if they had hit an invisible barrier and slipped in the air. However, even when they fell to the ground, they were still squirming. In the slight sound of hissing, a stream of white smoke with pungent and sour smell rose from the ground, causing the unexpected half-elf to cover her nose suddenly!

"Don't leave me too far, and don't waste your strength." Edward gave her a small warning in dissatisfaction, then turned to a somewhat dull dwarf warrior beside him: "Is this just an ordinary road nearby?"

"ah?"

The dwarf, who was a little dizzy by the sudden light of fire, was stunned. He stared at the remains of the monsters twisted and smoked on the ground. After swallowing for a long time, he spoke in a muffled voice: "There are few people using this portal, and I know that it leads to the lower level of the dark area, because it is said that almost no one can come back after entering. The only message is already seventy. No, it was brought back by people who walked this road eighty years ago. They said that it leads to two Zoer cities."

After a few reflexive answers, the dwarf shook his head and showed a puzzled look, as if he was surprised to respond to this human whom he didn't know at all. However, after hesitating, he added: "Well, most of us just led them to the fork in front of us for the rest of the way, oh. By the way... I remember a few guys said that the intersection on the left seemed to lead to a relatively large space, which had collapsed, but there were traces of being carved."

"Ancient city..." Edward smiled slightly.

The light twisted and changed in his eyes. It outlined the shadows of the layers of underground passages, and then Edward noticed the huge space - he immediately narrowed his eyes. Because in his vision, the place not far away could only see a grayish white area. Although it had a rough shape, it was completely impossible to see what was inside.

Winning the prize?

"We have warned you. There may be a lot of trouble here. Be extra careful."

The voice came from the portal behind him, and the church members of Elisech walked out in a sequel, and the Drow who had just spoken glanced over the corpse underground and spoke coldly, in return for the glaring eyes of several humans.

This is why the dwarf named Fengyin advised Edward not to follow this team - those believers of Elise finally passed through the portal in groups of three or three, obviously they were using these fellow travelers as pawns to explore the way.

"The place where these things gather should be where the changes have occurred, right? But I feel that there may be blocked there. So, what should we do?" he said.

These people have no meaning to him, but since the other party’s purpose is here, then the use is mutual.

The psychic warlock's suggestion made one of the elves raise his head.

"Be quieter, there may be danger lurking not far from here."

He spoke, and the voice was still pleasant, but it was even crisper, as if the impact of ice crystals... The respectful words he brought were even less respectful: "And, I don't care whether you are a spellcaster or not, but as a human with a short lifespan, you don't seem to be qualified to make any decent suggestions to an elf. If you think you have achieved your goal, then you might as well leave us, as long as you can leave here."

"Oh, then goodbye. Or, better not to meet again." Edward's lips curled up and walked forward.

The legendary elves are difficult to get along with unless they live among humans. To put it nicely, they are called arrogant temperament, but to put it bluntly, they are extreme arrogance and nationalism. They already have their own civilization tens of thousands of years ago, and their cultural system also strongly advocates the status of their race. They are known as their god Ke Ruilong, the first creature to appear after the creation of the world. They were created by Ke Ruilong, the first batch of intelligent lives on the mainland, and their long lifespan can almost reach about a thousand years, second only to the giant dragon.

Therefore, the general saying is that elves look down on any creature except elves, including humans, and after failing in the mainland war and having to retreat to the other side of the Central Mountains, humans become their object of disgust after orcs.

Unlike those trembling guys around him, the monster just now couldn't arouse much interest - it was slow, not very strong, and his body was very fragile. As long as you are careful of the acids and toxins secreted, it would be no need to worry about it.

The main problem is that the darkness around him, which seemed like thick fog, was never an obstacle for Edward - in his eyes, whether it was magic or natural invisibility or darkness, there was no difference in the sunny summer afternoon.

As soon as he took three steps, the wooden friction sounded and a scolding sounded: "Stop!"

Boom!

A crisp sound mixed with a muffled groan echoed from afar in the silence. The guy who had just raised the longbow in his hand took a step back and screamed in vain. The bow string in his hand broke in that moment, and the longbow that had lost its restraint suddenly rebounded and flew out of his hand. The broken bow string drew a slight crack on his cloak!

However, at this time, several other people in the team, Zoer or the elves, surrounded them, and each held the troops on his waist, forming a semicircular defense line.

"So, what's the matter?"

"What a stupid guy. If you are allowed to act randomly and let you break into the direction of their gathering, they will only discover our arrival and bring us more dangers! So, before we find out the problem of this place, you'd better stay here honestly!"

In fact, what this guy said was not a mistake. After all, he didn't understand what kind of power the person he was facing, and Edward was not interested in showing him how powerful he was... (To be continued...)
