Gelthorne City seemed to have just experienced a great battle. Led by half of the host Jia Er, Levi's team had just stepped into the city from the abandoned mine, and they could smell the smell of blood and war. They could see those everywhere.

The wounded who had just been replaced from the city wall.

Most of them are slaves from the lowest level, with various races, the most common of which are humans, orcs, and tauren.

Unlike the vast majority of drow who like to live alone, the slaves' difficult and poor living environment made them learn to stay together early for warmth. Individuals without any help can easily be fooled by the conspiracy or malicious jokes of drow nobles.

If it is affected, it will be difficult to survive.

There are also some drow civilian warriors among them, both male and female.

Levi had heard the old dwarf Tiger say before that in a drow city, it was actually relatively simple to distinguish between nobles and commoners.

Unless they wish to remain anonymous, most drow nobles dress appropriately for their position, wearing elaborate garments or robes, carrying the best equipment, and possessing an almost palpable 'aura' of arrogance, intimidation, and power.

In traditional drow society, commoners are only slightly less sacrificial than slaves, and if a dark elf noble was given the choice of sacrificing a slave or a drow commoner to achieve a goal, she would choose the slave.

But if the only way to success is to destroy a drow commoner, that commoner will immediately become dead.

The society of drow is extremely realistic, but for civilians, there is not no room for advancement.

Those drow who are gifted in warfare or magic can gain a status similar to that of a noble through their military exploits and contributions to the city, and such people are often adopted by noble families to increase their prestige and power.

Among them, in the distant city of Menzoberranzan, the famous martial arts master Zaknavan - the father of Drizzt Do'Urden - is such a person.

He was born a commoner, but was permanently connected to the Do'Urden family because of his superb weapon skills.

He was even allowed to bear the name Do'Urden, and because he was the consort of Matron Do'Urden, his children became full nobles of the family.

But before this identity is completely transformed, these honorary nobles born from common people still have to be wary of threats from all aspects, especially male drow.

Even the most experienced male generals (who can only command slave armies and male drow civilian warriors) and veterans who have experienced many struggles may be killed due to accidentally 'insulting' the priestess of the Spider Goddess.

Only witchcraft is the only real way for a male in Lolth's society to gain some real power.

Because a wizard of the same status is far more valuable than a warrior, simply because they are rarer and more useful.

Still, technically speaking, even the most gifted male wizard is still at the bottom of society compared to the lowest female priest.

Male wizards were very angry about this fact, and it was even said that there was once a drow city dominated by male drow wizards in the Underdark, but it soon turned to ashes under the wrath of the surrounding drow cities.

This is a world where they are destined to be enslaved because it is a disaster brought about by their gender.

A male wizard who transcends space and time must also kowtow to female priests who can barely muster the power to heal their scraped knees. Their existence is a failure.

This is also the real reason why Lucifer's father, the moon elf who was a drow prisoner of war, chose such a completely different path for his son.

At the same time, Jiaer was also telling Li Wei and the others everything about this city.

Although Jiaer knew that his fainting was definitely related to Li Wei, he did not dare to tell them because of their terrifying strength and power.

Even in order to help his mistress maintain a good relationship with Zeelandia, he acted as a tour guide with "enthusiasm" and made his due contribution to help Li Wei and others better appreciate the scenery of Gelthorn City.

At this moment, she pointed to the stone pillar in the center of the city and introduced it to Levi and the others: "You must have heard that that stone pillar is the Narbondel Hour Pillar. Since there is no seasonal change in the dark area, the luminous cycle of fluorescent moss

It is not so regular, so at the end of the day, the archmage of Gelthorne City will cast a magic flame spell on the stone pillar. The effective time of this spell is exactly equal to one day on the surface. By then, the temperature of the flame will make

The whole city is shrouded in a brilliant red light

"In the North District, there is the most famous Tibrich in Gelthorne City. It is the highest point of the cave where Gelthorne City is located. There is the Spider Academy, the missionary place of our Drow Spider Goddess.

, In addition, the Academy of Magic and the Fighting Tower are also located there.

"Among them, the School of Magic is the place where our city of Gelthorn trains wizards and mages. It is the incubation pool for many famous drows in the Underdark. It is also an ivory tower that countless drows want to get into. Only precious ones

Only with knowledge can they have the slightest chance of changing their destiny.

"The fighting tower is a place where male drow warriors are trained to learn combat skills. However, due to our city's continuous wars with foreign countries for more than two hundred years, the number of males has dropped to a point where the matrons have to

In order to ensure that we have enough males to maintain the inheritance of the bloodline, the male recruitment order has been temporarily canceled. Therefore, the fighting tower has been abandoned for a long time.

"Below those three tall towers is the aristocratic district of Drow, and Miss Dishana's residence is located there."

It wasn't until he said this that the drow guard captain revealed a look of admiration and pride.

"The relationship between you and Dishana seems to be very good." Levi praised suddenly.

Levi couldn't help but think of the drow guard captain who was willing to give up his own life in order to fulfill Dishana's instructions when they were attacked in the tunnel.

If he and Alley hadn't been strong enough to kill the spider-turned drow in a short period of time, the drow guard captain would have been a corpse by now.

And this kind of sincere friendship is extremely rare in drow society.

Because most of those who once believed in friendship are already dead.

Hearing this, Jia'er laughed, very sincerely, and sighed: "Can it be bad? She is my dearest sister."

"???"

Not only Li Wei, but everyone in the group was dumbfounded when they heard this completely unexpected answer.

"But aren't you drow sisters all in a competitive relationship?" Li Wei couldn't help but ask the question on everyone's mind.

You know, in the drow society, family affection is a more luxurious and ridiculous feeling than friendship.

But they actually have both.

"That's between direct lineage. I'm just a civilian soldier born from a collateral lineage. Therefore, the private relationship between the young lady and me has been very good since childhood."

After saying this, the smile on her face faded and became bitter and complicated:

"Until the coming-of-age ceremony, the lady's hunting mission failed due to the joint efforts of her sisters. In order for her to complete the coming-of-age ceremony, I gave her the head of my prey.

"Originally, for my 'failure', I was going to be transformed into a spider drow as punishment, and this process has even progressed to a small part. This is also the reason why my body is different from ordinary people.

"In the end, the young lady took the risk of being punished and made up a lie, saying that I had betrayed and persecuted her during the trial, causing her to almost fail the mission, so she asked the priests to give her a chance to punish me personally.

"She said that after becoming a spider drow, she would forget all her memories, which would be completely unable to resolve the hatred in her heart. Then she listed the 'evidence', and I was forced to admit this fact under the 'ironclad evidence'.

"She said that after executing me personally, she would torture and enslave me for eternity. This was unanimously appreciated by the priests, thus interrupting the transformation ceremony. I preserved my consciousness and memory.

"Finally, in front of all the priests, she whipped me with a snake-head whip for a day and a night."

"It wasn't until she dragged me home that she held my dying body and cried bitterly."

"I survived, so on the surface I am her mark slave and chief of guard, but secretly, I am her most trusted confidant and chief martial arts master."

After saying this, she suddenly turned around, then suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of Li Wei, and said in a voice that only Li Wei could hear:

"Your Majesty Hogg! I know your abilities and your vast power. So I want to 'betray' Miss again today. In recent years, she has become more and more addicted to power. If she really has the intention to betray you,

Intentions, I will find a way to inform you as soon as possible!

Li Wei frowned slightly when he heard this, it was an extremely absurd feeling.

I heard this 'loyal' guard chief say: "I just ask that by then, you can take into account my 'betrayal' of her today and the information in the future, and spare her life!"

Levi finally laughed, as if he had seen something extremely interesting.

"The complexity of Drow really opened my eyes."

Levi smiled and murmured to himself, and then waved his hand, "Get up, this is just a unilateral worry of yours. I don't think Dishana is the kind of ignorant drow, and you are so

When she kneels in public, aren't you afraid that she really has some inappropriate thoughts?"

"Master Hoge, please agree!" Jiaer buried his head lower.

"Okay, if she is really so powerful that she loses her wits one day, and her performance is interesting enough, then what if we spare her life?"
