After an extremely short journey in the dark passage, Sherlock appeared in a dilapidated hall. The door, pillars and statues were all full of cracks, and the paint and surface looked like they had peeled off on the ground.
.
The several mages behind him were probably going to chase him soon. He didn't think deeply about where he was and ran towards the passage on the side.
In the shadow plane, the speed of the shadow cat in its form cannot be matched by a few mages, and Sherlock had already gotten rid of them after a few turns.
But the other party seemed to be able to sense his position, and the pursuit never stopped. Moreover, this place should be a stronghold for their group, and more and more people came to chase him.
Especially those shadow mastiff dogs, which were even faster than him. If it weren't for their flexibility advantage, he would have been knocked to the ground long ago.
Since there was no advantage in the shadow plane, Sherlock did not want to continue to waste physical strength, so he found a plane node and returned to the main material plane.
His shadow wandering does not mean he comes to the shadow plane in the true sense. It is naturally much more convenient to get out. However, those shadow mastiffs are creatures of the shadow plane, so it is not easy to get out.
In the main material plane, he was still in a fortress, but it seemed to have been repaired and looked more complete.
The situation in the main material plane is not much better than that in the shadow plane. There are high-level guards all along the way. They don't look like humans. They are obviously taller and slender, and their skin also shows a dark gray color.
They were drow. Sherlock, who had dealt with such creatures several times, recognized them instantly.
Could this be the Underdark? He couldn't help but wonder. After all, it was rare for so many dark elves to appear on the surface at the same time.
These drow are all good assassins and are familiar with the terrain. It didn't take long for Sherlock to corner them into a blind corner, but he didn't kill him immediately, but was waiting for someone's order.
After a while, a female drow wearing leather armor walked out from the crowd.
"It turns out to be a half-elf. Come on, tell me your purpose of coming here." The female drow pinched Sherlock's neck and looked at him with a pair of pink eyes.
System prompt: You are affected by the detection of thoughts, the special effect is determined successfully, and game-related information will not be read.
Sherlock knew he had to use thought detection as soon as he saw the opponent's posture. However, the drow race has considerable prejudice against the mage profession. Women, in particular, usually choose to become Ross's priests.
Now I can actually see the drow mage, has he really come to the Underdark? But it seems that this female drow's spellcasting ability is not very good, and she has not broken through the protection of his glasses.
"Interesting, I happen to be short of a few slaves..."
Before the female drow finished speaking, a human came out of the crowd and said respectfully: "Lord Ravel, the high priest does not allow any adventurers to appear here."
"Elsweir is not our sacrifice." Ravel said coldly. She didn't like her words to be interrupted. If it was someone from her own family, she would have whipped him long ago.
"Get out of the way!"
Following the female mage's sharp shout, the drow and humans in the crowd drew their weapons and started to confront each other. The humans present had also been tired of this group of arrogant dark elves for a long time, and the issue of Sherlock's belonging was just right.
It became the trigger for the outbreak of conflicts between the two parties.
At the critical moment of the confrontation, another drow came in and said with ill intentions: "Sister Ravel is really majestic, but this is not your Ozkwen territory. If this alliance is destroyed, it will
Do you know if your mistress will continue to tolerate you?"
"This is not something you need to consider." Ravel replied expressionlessly. To be honest, she didn't like these guys from the underground, even though they were both drow.
Da da da…
Along with the sound of hurried footsteps, another black-haired woman appeared in the room. She first discouraged the excessive behavior of both parties, then released a silent barrier and whispered in Ravel's ear.
Sherlock could also guess what conditions the two were discussing.
Sure enough, the moment the silent barrier disappeared, five or six daggers stabbed into his heart at the same time and took away his life.
He was extremely speechless about the two deaths in just a few days. He originally wanted to kill Kebu and then use the portal to escape. Unexpectedly, the other side of the portal turned out to be the opponent's lair, so he sent the sheep directly
Entering the tiger's mouth.
Now his level has dropped to level 29, and he died in a strange place. He didn't know which city he was resurrected in. It would be really painful if he really went to the Underdark.
But where is that place? How come there are so many drow? Are they in the same group as those in the Shadow Plane? If so, what are they planning?
After thinking about it for more than ten minutes and still having no clue, Sherlock decisively put the matter aside. Anyway, this was not something he could get involved in in the short term.
As soon as the death time passed, he cheered up again and entered the game.
The first thing is to check the city he is in. The result is very surprising. He did not enter an underground city like Menzoberranzan, but returned to the territory of Cormyr. The famous "Emerald Tower" Velen
city.
The architectural layout of Velen City is very similar to that of Noisy Water City. They are both straddling the river, but compared to Noisy Water City, the former is much more natural.
The roads that have not been carefully planned lie lazily in the sun along the hills. Motorcades are traveling on the road. Cargo ships are passing through the rivers. They are constantly coming and going. This is the eastern trade center of Cormyr.
Velen City.
Most of the residents in the city are people engaged in manufacturing or navigation, and it is also famous for its high-quality shipbuilding and pottery industries. If you want to go to sea, starting here is undoubtedly the best choice.
What this city is really famous for is its unique bright green slate roofs. This stone is only produced in the largest quarry in Cormyr in the north of the town.
After being cut, the dark green stone will reflect an extremely pure and beautiful luster under the sunlight. It is the most suitable decoration and an excellent material for fine craftsmanship.
Sherlock never imagined that he would appear here. The setting after death in the game is to return to the nearest city.
If there is such a large group of people gathering near Velen City, it is impossible that the Purple Dragon Legion responsible for guarding the place and the Mage Academy monitoring the entire country will not be able to detect it.
As he walked, he thought about the connection between the two places, but he still had no clue.
