The mysterious magic inherent in the Underdark is destined to be filled with endless dangers, but it also produces a variety of magical materials.
Using these magical materials, coupled with the innate craftsmanship of the drow elves.
After annihilating the expeditionary force and capturing Dugas, the biggest gain from this war was actually a variety of magic equipment and magic items, the overall value of which was even greater than the Aya they had "taken away" before.
Above all the treasures.
Although Appleton is very confident about the little green dragon, he never thinks that the servant of the little green dragon will do anything stupid, such as concealing secrets and concealing reports, but... the thing he likes to do the most is...
Counting the treasures!
Long Yan never blinked, and every cart of treasures had to pass under his nose.
Such a large amount, and there are dubizrands behind it, there should be more dubzrands than here...
In the blue dragon's eyes, the light of gold coins was shining.
It was really the right thing to accept Stat's invitation and take the instructions from Lord Deimos!
"..."
The blue dragon is counting the treasures.
Isaac and Stat are sorting out various grimoires and secret records of the drow.
When he put some information into the library, his heart couldn't help but move.
The labyrinth occupied by the giant bull demon!
Judging from the age of this secret record, it is definitely not copied from the wood elves, but both the wording and the content are basically the same as the information that has been backed up in his database.
Either the wood elves copied it to them through some means, otherwise... the information contributed to him in the name of the wood elves might be suspected of being "old"!
And to make it old and show it, you need to make him believe that it came from the wood elves and was not something they added on purpose!
This purpose...
"Golden Scroll!"
"Dundrum!"
"So, these guys are also plotting against me! They just didn't expect that I would be faster and crisper than them!"
Related speculations immediately came to mind.
Whether this guess is correct or not, you will know if you continue to look further.
Soon, he read another introduction to the area where purple insects were found, and it was exactly the same.
Then there was information about Dundrum.
A lot of the wording is still similar, but the information here is much more detailed than the one given to him.
"Dundrum, Salt Lake, Aboleth..."
His eyes could not help but shrink slightly, and he did not wonder if the dark elf was plotting against him.
Although Dugas also didn't know the specific power of Dundrum, he did know that in the salt water lake adjacent to Dundrum, the illithids also had a group of allies, who were also named for their ability to manipulate minds and enslave puppets.
The ancient evil, the aboleth!
The difficulty has suddenly increased!
"Stat!"
After pondering for a moment, Isaac handed the information to the shadow priest.
While flipping through the drow's magical secret book, Stat took it in her heart. A brief glance showed that the look in her eyes also became solemn.
We must find allies, and they must be targeted allies!
In addition to the five-color dragon...
First reject those from the same faction, and then...
There was a thought in her eyes, and she pondered for a moment, then she said slowly: "I do know some people who are absolute enemies of the illithids. As long as they are given some information, they will definitely take action, but..."
Her voice paused, and there was a hint of depth in her eyes.
The absolute mortal enemy of the illithids!
Isaac's heart only moved, and he quickly understood what she meant.
Gith!
It is said that they were once slaves of the illithid empire, but in the end, they overthrew the illithid empire and hunted down the illithids in countless planes.
The Gith are divided into two factions, and Stater will know about them, most of them are Githyanki who are of the evil alignment.
It is said that a Githyanki sacred ritual involves hunting down an illithid, and only those knights who complete this ritual can return to their home on the outer planes.
The reason why Isaac knew about this race was because they had a very close relationship with the five-color dragons, or to be precise, with the red dragon, the boss of the five-color dragons.
Legend has it that the Githyanki have made a pact with a certain divine red dragon, and that many red dragons are willing to accept their employment, and even those who are not among them at least do not harbor ill will towards them.
This race's primary mission is to hunt illithid monsters. What they are best at is psychic training. They also have unique expertise in resisting psychic powers.
If we could pull these people over...
Immediately, Isaac understood the deep meaning in Stat's eyes.
Although the Gith people's primary mission is to hunt illithids, these extremely militarized knights are also good at burning, killing, and looting. Coupled with their possible relationship with the red dragon...
Stat is probably implying that even she can't restrain the Githyanki!
After pondering for a while, Isaac quickly made a decision: "First, we'll deal with Dubizrant, and then Tessel will have a good show. After everything is over, we'll take care of things here."
The Githyanki may be difficult to restrain, and they may cause some trouble here, but as long as they can get the golden scroll, no matter how big the trouble is, it's just trouble!
Stat was not in a hurry, but while he nodded slightly, his heart was moving.
Taser's good show?
It shouldn't be those churches and big devils.
Is it the throne of Tethyr?
Although she did not pay special attention to Tethyr due to other matters, she was aware of the scale of Tethyr's civil strife.
This matter has to do with the Green Dragon...
She had some guesses in her mind, but she didn't ask in depth. She quickly began to read the magic book attentively.
Drow wizards also have second-level spellcasters. Although their levels are several levels behind hers, some aspects of spells have inspired her and have some uses, which are worth looking at and studying.
Isaac also got involved.
Information about the Underdark, various dangerous areas, and various mineral areas.
There are also various magic materials, including the craftsmanship of making magic equipment.
Indispensable, there are also secret records related to beliefs, such as the Spider Queen's beliefs, such as the Spider Queen's gods, and even the one who came from the drow pantheon but betrayed...
On the one hand, they were taking inventory and on the other hand, they were recording, while on the other side of the Fissure Mountains, they were rapidly organizing manpower and military strength to develop the new city.
The two-headed ogre is not idle either.
Leading the troll army, he was clearing the monster lairs on the outskirts of the city. At the same time, he was also playing the role of a black face to intimidate the drow, especially the underage ones!
This is naturally the order of the green dragon.
To clean up the Spider Queen's beliefs and reestablish rules for the dark elves, a character like him is indispensable.
For You Tou, this kind of acting is true acting.
With the true nature of the ogre and the true nature of the troll, the cold-blooded drow were truly intimidated by just one or two moves.
Then, an accident jumped out by itself.
"Your Majesty, that's it."
Things like reporting have always been left to the left.
While reporting the unexpected incident, Zuotou changed his honorific without any trace.
Ever since the Green Dragon opened the library to him, he had already decided to hibernate here for a few years.
With this decision, his attitude will naturally change. He is not a barbarian like the right man.
"Priest of the Dark Maiden?"
The two-headed ogre's report made Isaac's heart move.
The black faces of the troll army were too real. After all, their appetite was good enough that some of the adult drow couldn't bear it anymore.
However, it will pop up, which should also be related to his actions to suppress the Spider Queen's faith.
The Maiden of Darkness, the daughter of the Spider Queen, betrayed the drow pantheon, at least in the holy scriptures of the drow elves, she was betrayed!
This is a drow goddess from the good camp, and the only one!
Her priest couldn't sit back and watch the troll army "discipline" the underage drow, which was normal.
"Teach the drow, guide them to be obedient, not cause trouble to anyone, and teach them the craft of making magic items..."
Just listen to the previous ones.
The latter part spoke to his heart.
He kept these drow for this ultimate purpose.
“You can give it a try!”
He quickly made a decision in his heart, and he still had a very accurate grasp of the pastor.
Earlier, I was backing up all kinds of information and grimoires, and I didn't take care of the drow personally for the time being. Now that the dark girl's priest jumped out on his own, naturally he couldn't escape his observation.
He only needs to observe how many believers he can develop and how many pastors he can take office, regardless of whether these people can escape his grasp.
Having made this decision, Isaac nodded slightly: "Bring her in."
The two-headed ogre immediately retreated, and after a while, a different drow elf was brought in.
She must have felt that she could see her true face. This woman with long hair was wearing a translucent silver robe. It could be seen that there was a silver holy symbol on her chest, hanging around her neck with a mithril necklace.
But Isaac's first glance was not at her. He was looking at her soul with his soul's eye, and quietly lurked inside.
The breath of the concept gradually spread into his soul.
Without going any deeper or leaving any trace, he withdrew again.
That’s right, he’s the priest of the Dark Maiden!
The vertical pupils with a little dark yellow color stared at the woman, but he did not use suggestion or charm, just an indifferent voice: "I see hatred in you, and I also see ulterior motives, but it doesn't matter.
, I only want what I want, and if you can do it, those drow will be yours to teach. If you can't do it, you and them will be controlled by the troll army again."
Facing the green dragon's gaze, the silver-robed woman did not flinch. Instead, she puffed out her chest and said calmly and steadily: "I need some resources, continuously. Then, within three months, you will see the results one after another."
"Then let's wait and see. As soon as resources are available, I will arrange it."
Isaac waved his claws to make her retreat, without even asking her name, as if he didn't care at all.
In this posture, the silver-robed woman Anas didn't frown secretly until she exited the hall and parted ways with the two-headed ogre.
With this green dragon's attitude, if she doesn't hurry up and make some real progress, those little guys may really be given to the troll army by it without hesitation!
The catastrophe of Dugas was also an opportunity for those little guys to get a new life. She could not retreat in the face of difficulties.
To seize this opportunity and guide them back from their lost ways, she must cater to the needs of the green dragon!
Fortunately, this catering is also training those little ones!
Soon, a loyal servant connected with the woman, and resources gradually began to be supplied.
Inevitably, there was a corresponding list, which was recorded in front of Isaac.
Through these, with the information he has at his disposal, he can roughly judge the purpose and direction there.
…
There is a coalition leading the way.
In just a few days, a development team composed of kobolds and goblins arrived in Dugas, escorted by many human warriors and a group of two hundred dragon-turned kobold rogues.
How to arrange city defense, how to arrange the development of various resources, how to formulate a new order for the city...
One plan after another is constantly unfolding.
However, Isaac was not directly involved in these.
After leaving an army strong enough to control the battlefield.
Together with the blue dragon who had been waiting impatiently, he led an army with updated and strengthened equipment and headed deeper into the ground.
However, this time the journey was not as smooth as conquering Dugas.
Dubizlante is obviously prepared.
Along the way, his loyal servants of the dragon-winged rogues and the scouts and lurkers on the opposite side fought one after another.
There are various traps and baits, and they even attract some vicious monsters that are not on the route.
Even if Longyi's loyal servants are all elites who have undergone a second transformation and have reached the second level of life energy level, they will not be able to handle it easily.
For this reason, they even specially mobilized a hundred-man team of dragon-shaped rogues from the rear, and this was able to steadily suppress the continuous harassment from the opposite side.
But even so, it affected the advancing speed of the army and gave Dubizlant's side more time to arrange.
“Not quite the right taste!”
At an intersection, Kubi, who had undergone a second transformation, smelled something wrong with his dog's nose. In an instinctive reaction, his mind became tense, as if...a slight fear reaction!
The smell alone can make him cringe...
"retreat!"
They gestured and said nothing, leading a small team and silently retreating to the rear.
After a while, two more dragon-shaped kobolds sneaked over. They only touched two of the tunnels at the intersection and felt a sticky feeling. Their eyes shrank at the same time and they retreated without thinking.
The twice-transformed dragon-winged kobolds are the true elites among the kobolds. They serve their great master all year round and rarely enter the underdark areas.
They are the pioneers in exploring the Underdark, and are more familiar with the dangers here.
This tunnel...
"Master, there are signs of purple insects in front of us. Those dark elves have lured the purple insects here!"
The warning message was immediately transmitted to the large army, causing the troll army to stop immediately, and then it was transmitted to the green dragon.
Purple Worm, this is perhaps the most dangerous creature in the Underdark that only has instincts but no intelligence.
Their size, their strength, their aggression, their endless appetite for food... No creature would think of provoking them without any reason, and no creature could subdue them.
The drow of Dubizlant actually led them to the route...
