Most of the creatures that live in the tunnels are goblins driven away by the dwarves of Zeelandia. After losing their original home, their living space has been drastically compressed and they have to feed on anything that can fill their stomachs.

This includes fluorescent moss.

Therefore, after everyone entered the tunnel of Gelthorn City, the light immediately dimmed. Only a few fluorescent stones gave off a faint light, reflecting the stinky ditch with a faint green color flowing quietly beside the tunnel.

Various scavenging insects were flying around, and traces of Cavins rats could occasionally be seen. At this time, the little rat lying on Calvin's head would squeak excitedly.

But this kind of behavior often scares timid Cavins rats away. Maybe they are timid by nature and cannot understand why some of their mates can live so harmoniously with humans. The cruel living environment makes them dare not use their own

life to risk.

This stinking ditch is caused by the domestic garbage produced by the nearly 120,000 residents of Gelthorn City day and night, but in some ways it does support many creatures that seek to survive in this tunnel.

Only a quarter of these people are drow, and the rest are slaves of various humanoid creatures. Because the list of items mainly produced and traded in Gelthorn City includes delicious mushrooms, lizard mounts, magic scrolls, and wine.

In addition to water, they also trade various poisons and alchemical potions, including energy potions that are notorious in this Corel but are often banned.

The early version of this energy potion was actually a product of the Netherese era. It was essentially developed by arcanists to improve the combat effectiveness of their guards in times of war, namely:

It stimulates the inner potential of living things and gains a lot of strength, physical fitness and sensory improvement in a short period of time. However, it also has a lot of side effects, that is, it will produce some hallucinations depending on the body's constitution during consumption, and after the effect of the drug wears off, it will produce more

It has a long weak refractory period, so after several versions of research and development failed to solve this hidden danger, this medicine was discontinued.

I am afraid that the arcanist who developed this potion at that time would not have thought that thousands of years later, this potion would not only reappear in Corell, but would also be completely transformed by the drow elves in the underground underdark.

In order to pursue the ultimate pleasure and the illusion of forgetting their troubles, these shameless and despicable Bichi actually added various slightly poisonous fungi materials to the formula, just to increase the side effects of this medicine.

The side effects themselves are what the drow are pursuing.

Therefore, for a period of time, this kind of energy potion spread throughout the entire city of Gelthorn, and even the drow responsible for guarding the city gate took the potion periodically during the day.

Perhaps the potion was a bit high, these two drow who were high on drugs actually grabbed an ogre slave who was eager to enter the city, and they got jealous in front of everyone. As a result, the registration procedures for entering the city at the north gate of Gelthorn City that day

, it directly turned into a crowd lining up to pay tribute to the two selfless drows, then consciously stuffing the silver coins as the city entry tax into the 'pockets' of the two drows, and then entering the city as if they were in a dream.

It is said that according to the subsequent investigation, the North Gate city entrance tax that day was not only not less, but even two more gold coins.

However, this kind of bad behavior that seriously neglected duties and tarnished the image of Gelthorn City finally aroused the anger of the Matron Council.

When the two elves who exposed the ugly phenomenon were directly sacrificed to Rose, they turned into spider drow on the spot and were taken away by their families.

After that, a ban on energizing potions was issued, but the next day it was revealed that the drow mistress of a certain family openly used energizing potions to entertain guests during a banquet.

In addition, energy potions have always been the most important source of foreign exchange for trade in Gelthorne City. Even the matrons were reluctant to cut off their own arms. So a group of matrons who had taken potions that night sat down to discuss whether banning was necessary.

It may be banned, or we should reduce the psychedelic effect of the potion, and then classify high-concentration energy potions as high-value products and impose heavy taxes.

This genius decree is much more real and effective. The poor people who have no money can naturally only buy some medicines with less side effects on a regular basis. To a certain extent, it is not much different from drinking a little wine.

For this reason, there are numerous alchemy workshops in Gelthorne City, among which there are a large number of alchemy workshops in the West City District. These magazines for making potions are dumped into the sewers and flow down the stinking ditch.

Therefore, the tunnel creatures that have been feeding through this smelly ditch for a long time have been eroded by the poison of the medicine to some extent, and are generally somewhat mutated. Looking at the people passing by, their eyes radiate a strange and dangerous light, but because Li Wei and his team were too

Huge, and finally the remaining harm-avoidance instinct in my head overcame the hunger.

Perhaps the not-so-good smell in the air triggered some of Tiger's deeply abhorred memories, and he said to everyone: "You don't know how many drow we met when we first settled in Zelandia."

Disgusting. After staying with Goblins for a long time, they have almost lost their remaining sanity and become beasts with only various desires. What kind of food can those Goblins who don't give birth have to eat these stinky things?

They feed them swill mixed with fluorescent moss. For the illusion of temporarily forgetting reality, those sows will do anything!

"Even after we established Zeelandia, the life of the drow became much easier, but we discovered that they were collecting swill to secretly refine potions. The drow who was discovered was killed on the spot.

Xu hammer has become an idiot!"

"Hahahahahaha! That's right! These drow are really not a toy sometimes. They can deal with the same kind more ruthlessly than anyone else. Fortunately, I am strong, otherwise I would have been drained by those drow."

Among them, the red-robed Faman Feishe laughed the loudest, and for a moment he even felt a little proud when he recalled the past.

Perhaps this kind of thing is just a somewhat heavy-handed topic for Li Wei and his party, but for Jiaer, who is also a drow elf, it has become a bit heavy, and he actually joined their topic for the first time:

"We don't know the dangers of energy potions, but the internal intrusion of our drow elves is really too serious. On the surface, Gelthorne City is peaceful and peaceful, but there are many conspiracies and calculations hidden inside.

"I don't know if you have heard of it. Although our tribe in Gelthorn City has expanded to more than 30,000 people, after nearly three thousand years of development, we still only have about 1,000 nobles, divided into 76 tribes.

The other recognized families are just civilian warriors. In Gelthorne City, about every 10 years, a family will plan to eliminate another family in order to improve its ranking. The matrons of the top eight families are

Formed the ruling council of Gelthorne City.

"The vacant spots are the only hope for the civilian Drow warriors to sacrifice their lives on the battlefield in order to get ahead. We Drow have grown up in such a cruel environment since we were young.

"We have no family ties. Even in the mother's womb, we have to eliminate our own brothers and sisters in order to obtain more nutrients. The disappearance of each of our brothers and sisters will make the mother feel happy.

“We don’t have love because women have all the control, relationships between males and females are almost non-contractual, and it’s the females who decide who their lover is and how long the relationship lasts.

"We have no friendship, because all the drow who believed in friendship ended up with their bodies thrown into the stinky ditch and became a carnival of carrion eaters.

"Our drow families are always engaged in various overt and covert struggles. Priestesses also use intrigues and assassinations to gain higher positions. Families are also waiting for opportunities to eliminate their opponents.

"Among us drow, all battles obey an iron law: "If it can't be proven, it never happened."

"Therefore, the elimination of rival families usually involves eradicating the roots without leaving any nobles behind. Otherwise, if the survivors accuse the ruling council, the attacking family will be wiped out by everyone. On the contrary, even if everyone knows who did it, they will not be killed.

Some people will come out to criticize, and some will praise the other party's courage and wisdom.

"In such a cruel and ruthless world, where every day is precarious, and someone may plot and kill you at any time, and you live every day in fear, only things like energy potions can get the nourishment to develop and become the best spiritual food for those losers.

, because they believed that even if they were plotted at that moment because of taking the potion, at least at that moment, they had been happy in a dream. In that dream-like state, they had also returned to the book to describe the forest full of sunshine.

In the surface world, I once had a family who loved and cared for me, a partner I vowed to stay with for life, a group of close friends who I could entrust to my destiny, and a person who could no longer worry about plots from behind and could be upright.

A bright world where people can pursue their dreams brightly.”

As Jia'er's empty words and the topic that was so heavy that it was hard to breathe unfolded, all the voices who heard these drow insider stories for the first time gradually disappeared.

"The evil of the drow elves is not born this way." Levi muttered the words he heard from somewhere, but added in his heart, "But the hatred that has been cast will not be caused by his own

Forgotten by sorrow.”

After that, everyone became less talkative, and even an old man like Fischer didn't openly laugh at Zhuoer in front of Jia'er.

As everyone progressed and gradually reached the upper level, fewer and fewer creatures appeared around them, until it was completely silent.

"Hotz, there's something wrong with telling the guards to be careful!"

Levi, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped and raised his hand, frowning and looking at the dark surroundings. The silver dragon's innate blindness of 60 feet and dark vision of 120 feet allowed him to see clearly even in the dim tunnel.

Able to clearly see all the details around you.

But just like that, he always felt that something was not right about this place. When did the sewers of Gelthorn City become so quiet.

The group of people continued to move forward slowly and cautiously.

Crunch.

Levi felt as if he had stepped on some tough thread-like object under his feet. Before he could lower his head to look down, the sound of wind breaking in the dark made him instinctively take a big step back, and at the same time he shouted loudly:

"Enemy attack! Prepare to fight!!!"

Due to Li Wei's immediate warning, everyone scattered as soon as they heard the words.

There was a loud bang.
Chapter completed!
