Darkness, claustrophobia, and anxiety are the eternal themes of underground space.
After activating the slaves, the mine leading to the dungeon was completely renovated.
Isaac finally set foot underground for the first time.
The tangled underground passages, the rugged and steep terrain, and the eternal darkness that seemed to be able to swallow up all light, not even the immortal torch could illuminate more than ten feet.
From time to time, the sound of flying bats can be heard, and giant rats are disturbed and scurry around in the dark passage.
Not only that, but as he went deeper, Isaac, who was extremely sensitive to magic, even sensed some weird and evil magic auras.
"When venturing in the Underdark, if you don't have enough dark vision, then full-body steel armor is a necessity. Because dangers are everywhere around you, even on the top of the cave, steel armor is definitely safer than flesh and blood."
Wesley and Green invited samurai with adventure experiences in the Underdark through their connections within the business group.
Because he was still at the shallow level, and because this time he was accompanied by a green dragon, a kobold leading the way, and an ogre following him, he was relatively relaxed.
"When the team is marching, there must be dedicated detectives in front and behind at the same time, because many monsters have much sharper perceptions than we do, and the slightest movement may alarm them from a distance."
"It is relatively safe to travel between cities that have signed a contract. Do not explore unknown areas at will. No one knows whether there will be monsters more evil than the devil there."
For example, big eyes, octopus head, or a certain fish whose history is as old as the dragon.
Isaac supplemented him in his mind, and then changed the subject: "What do you think is the reason for the gray dwarf's sudden disappearance?"
"It's a bit of a guess." Wesley weighed it and said, "The gray dwarves are a contradictory race. They dig tirelessly, but they don't take it as an honor. They savagely plunder the population as slaves, but
They are very depressed themselves, and they are generally suspicious.
I suspect that it was you who took the initiative to invite them to visit and made them feel the crisis. After all..."
He paused slightly.
But everyone can understand the meaning.
After all, you are always a five-color dragon, and you are so confident. If they are suspicious and think too much, it is naturally better to run away.
Especially your old bitch will brag you like a god.
"The size of this city shouldn't be big." Wesley added.
suspicious!
Isaac nodded slightly in his mind.
No wonder he is so "friendly", but those ignorant dwarfs still dare to be like this!
Then he asked: "My servant told me that there were drow elves in the deeper underground. Does this mean that there may be a drow city somewhere?"
"It's a huge probability. After all, there are only a few wandering drow." Wesley looked serious for a moment, and after thinking, he continued, "At the right time, you may be able to send some envoys to contact that place and test it out.
The strength there is weak. Although the drow are evil, I think they will still respect you. If you don't consider conquering them, you may consider signing a relatively stable city contract with them. Through them
, it should also be able to penetrate into the Underdark faster.”
Although the drow are evil, the green dragon is in charge.
Even if beholders, mind flayers, and aboleths collided individually, the green dragon would definitely be the boss, right?
At least that's what Isaac thinks.
Just as he said that, the passage finally came to an end.
Pieces of fluorescent light appeared in Isaac's field of vision, like stars in the night sky, beautiful and mysterious.
With this fluorescence, he could also see clearly what was ahead.
This is a valley with a radius of several miles, about a hundred feet high. Four castles connected by suspension bridges are the core of the city. Between the castles, there are low houses and even caves.
It looks like a penned slave quarters.
On the ground around the castle, on the surrounding cave walls, and on the stalactites on the roof of the cave, there are patches of fungi growing.
Fluorescence comes from them.
This eternally dark space, because of their embellishments, suddenly appears a little bit alive and has some mysterious charm.
"It can also grow on stones. If you cultivate them well, dragon flies can be used here even without the immortal torch."
Isaac looked at the castle first, and then observed the fluorescent fungus with great interest.
There are many mysterious species underground, and with the development of trade routes, he should have indispensable research materials.
"The great Green Dragon King, we have eliminated the surrounding threats. When can we go back?"
At this time, the spiny tailed lions flew over.
They, who lacked intelligence, paid homage to their boss and asked him their true feelings directly.
After hunting for such a long time, they had already become agitated. If the Green Dragon King hadn't been too powerful and the army of hundreds of thousands of dragon flies had prevented them from even thinking about resisting, they might have run up earlier.
"I will let the ogre warrior take over for you, and you will rotate every once in a while."
Isaac quickly made arrangements and noticed that one of the spiny lions had several huge lacerations on its body.
We were hunting together and suffered such injuries, which shows that the dangers in the Underdark are indeed extremely great.
There are indeed few elite soldiers and generals under his command.
But, at least for the time being, Isaac is not prepared to interfere with their scale.
His dragon beast plan is still in progress. Compared with them, the dragon beast naturally has greater potential, and it also listens to "Dad" more.
Unless something goes wrong with the dragon beast plan, there is no need to interfere with them.
"Four castles. Counting the children, the total number of gray dwarves will never exceed five hundred. In the underground city, this is a very small size. With their suspicion, they dare not meet you, so of course."
Cautiously keeping a little distance from the spiny tailed lions, Wesley observed the surrounding situation and made a quick judgment.
Ge Lin was also observing the surroundings, but what he was observing was that there was something that might have value.
Miriam was immersed in the mysterious beauty of the dungeon. After all, she was still a young girl. Of course, this was also because she had long been used to seeing spiny tailed lions and didn't care at all.
"The scale is indeed small. We still need a thick city wall. I think we can build a conference hall between the castle and the castle, and use this place as a place for discussion in the future."
Isaac glanced at his human friends.
Ge Lin obviously understood what he meant and agreed: "It couldn't be more hidden to discuss things here. Sir, this is your underground city. Do you think it's called this?"
"Watching and helping each other is our purpose. Since this is the meeting place, let's call it 'Watching City'." Isaac thought about it and quickly made a decision.
Green and Miriam smiled and said hello.
Wesley was a little confused. Was the green dragon helping them? He actually suspected that Green and the others were seduced by the green dragon.
There is nothing left to explore in the castle, and if there ever was, it should be cleared out by the kobolds.
Isaac and his team walked around and decided on the city's reconstruction plan, and soon groups of slaves rushed here.
The city was built, the mines were mined, and although the ogres were lazy, being driven out of the castle could still play a warning role.
Isaac himself also takes some time to come down every day.
Study the cultivation of fluorescent bacteria, search for valuable characteristic species, and also study the unique mysterious magic power of this underground place...
One month later, Green finally came up with the preliminary charter of the consortium.
There was no problem in determining the general direction, and Isaac passed directly.
Green and Carasso immediately hurried away, both to test and to win over "like-minded" partners with suitable wealth and strength!
No one noticed that around the dungeon, the fluorescence was more beautiful and abundant.
No one noticed that patches of dark green lichen quietly grew in many places in Isaac's lair.
