I have to say that when browsing other people's privacy, no matter how boring it is, there will be a lot of anticipation.
Woody continued to turn to the next page.
"Damn it! When I was preparing supplies, a group of drow appeared out of nowhere and attacked Black Tallin. Oh my God! The flames spread in the city, and the slaves fled to death. I saw the body of Geer.
, his father was the slave chief of Black Tallin. He also died, his throat pierced by an arrow shaft. I like his fiery red beard the most. However, although those dark-skinned drow discovered me,
But I have a stone hoop, so they can’t catch me, haha! It’s really interesting to see them frustrated in the rock wall..."
"Although I failed to bring back the supplies, I relied on my previous accumulation and spent the lives of ten slaves to find the ruins of the old black tower forest in the underground lake, the solid, thick and towering stone house, and the pit where the slaves were kept.
It turned out that half of it was covered by the sediment brought by the waterfall. I said why I couldn't find it. I also found the divine emblem of a broken arrow. Dulag, you must be guiding me."
Gray dwarf slaves are consumables for gray dwarves themselves. Gray dwarves rarely torture their slaves to please themselves, because the most appreciated way of using slaves by gray dwarves is to make them work hard until they die.
Woody turned to the next page with interest.
The first line is Seluman's extremely proud and excited words.
"Dulag! I succeeded! Relying on the knowledge I have accumulated over the past ten years and the location of the ruins in the water, I found the location to the Dulag Temple. Soon I will be able to save those who have fallen into the fire of sin.
The clansmen among us are here! Wait for me! Black Tower Forest!"
In the diary, Seluman led the team and successfully entered the passage to the Dugla Temple. However, the passage was hidden in a collapsed cave in a waterfall. It took him several days to clean up the rubble and clean up.
There are a series of mechanisms on the road, which is really hard work.
But within a few pages, Seluman's exasperated short sentences appeared.
"Damn it, when I opened the temple door the way I did two centuries ago, what I saw was not the majestic and solemn statue of the gods, but a strong fishy smell, like a tauren's lair full of sexual atmosphere! No! Someone destroyed this temple.
! This place has become a nest of monsters! Who can tell me how it became like this!"
"Dulag! What should I do?"
The aggravated exclamation mark expresses Seluman's anger and confusion after finding the target, which ended in the Moon of the Awakening (April) of the Dark Calendar 793.
The diary was blank from the back, and it was not until the last page that a line of handwriting appeared in blood. The tone was very calm, as if he had accepted the ending.
"It can't get in, but I can't escape either."
"Dead, they are all dead! Punishment! This must be His punishment for the disobedient people! It must be!"
"May my soul..."
The writing stopped abruptly, and the diary ended with the interruption of Seluman's last prayer, and his life was also shattered.
Woody looked at the red and black blood stains on the yellowed parchment and remained silent.
He is distilling the useful information in his diary.
First of all, except that there is indeed an Underdark beneath Palermo, and it is now owned by the drow.
Secondly, the passage connects to the Dark Territory. The exit should be behind the waterfall called the Underground Lake, and downstream of the lake is the Black Tower Forest, which was once the gray dwarf city.
If only Woody has no intention of going there in the first two, after all, the Black Tallinn has been destroyed by the drow, and there is no use in going there except for sightseeing.
But Seluman's reliance in the diary, the stone ring obtained from a slave, made Woody a little moved.
And not surprisingly, although the diary did not mention the final ownership of the ring, it was probably used by Seluman to prevent the Shark-Lizard from escaping into the passage.
After all, according to the description in the diary, that strange object has a lot to do with the Thor stone monster walking underground.
Of course, these are just his conjectures.
If it is correct or not, we can only go down and find out.
…
"You continue to exercise here. If you can't hold it any longer, take a break. I'll go to the dock area."
It was still morning, so Woody briefly explained to the monk girl who was exercising before heading to the pier area not far from the beach.
In fact, in addition to exercising her body, the most important thing about jumping frog is to make her concentrate. When her body is exhausted and exhausted, she can get twice the result with half the effort by meditating again.
Soon, Woody came to the livestock market in the dock area.
I purchased several young pigs from there. Generally, some sailors would raise these animals on board to facilitate the supply of raw meat.
Woody took them to the beach together, and under Angelena's doubtful gaze, they rushed one by one into the straight passage from the cave to the shark lizard beast.
Angelina dragged her tired body to think about it. Woody thought for a moment but did not stop him. He returned to the lair of the Shark Lizard with her.
There was nothing to hide from what was described in the diary, and when Angelina heard that there might be relics of the gray dwarf's corpse in the passage, she was immediately overjoyed.
After all, the higher Woody's income from this adventure is, the less guilt she feels in her heart.
Today Woody let her severed hand recover, and she would be lying if she said she was not touched.
Therefore, seeing Woody gain something is also heartfelt.
"Then what are you planning to do?"
"Prevent other magic barriers, traps, and chain mechanisms that may be triggered at the door."
Although Seluman said in the diary that most of the mechanisms in the passage had been cleaned up by them, and some had long since lost their function due to disrepair, Woody still chose the safest method for the sake of caution.
That is to let the young pig take the risk on his behalf.
Several piglets weighing about 70 or 80 kilograms were tied up with ropes, and then Woody slapped their buttocks hard with the handle of the stick. Soon, the frightened piglets began to be driven away by Woody's deliberate efforts.
, and plunged into the temple passage that had been opened by Woody to the Underdark.
The snort of the young pig soon resounded throughout the cave, and Woody felt the pull of the rope in his hand and the distant pig running safely in the hall, and he cautiously stepped into this place for the first time.
Going into the underground passage supported by the prisms, the height of three meters made Woody almost feel that he could touch the ceiling above his head with a slight jump.
However, this did not prevent Woody from searching carefully near the entrance of the passage.
Soon, he found a stone ring that was almost assimilated to the rock in the gap in the wall where the body was.
Rather than a band, it looks more like a large ring.
Woody knelt down and with a little force, he took off the ring that had been placed on the rock wall for an unknown period of time.
Wiping off the thick dust on the harness ring revealed the original brass color.
Generally, this kind of jewelry is used to help restrain the beards of dwarves, and it is not uncommon to create magical items of this type.
Woody didn't hesitate to use the tester that comes with the panel.
It didn't take long for the properties of this ring to appear in Woody's eyes.
——"Second-level magical item "Thor's Ring""
——"Item effect: The wearer of the ring has a +2 resistance bonus on saving throws against psychic and psionic powers, and can cast the stone walking spell 3/3 times per day."
——"Hey, you must remember that the effect of Stone Walking Technique can only last for 1 hour. Don't have fun in the soil, and be careful of casters who have magic-forbidden methods, although I would like to see you being
The expression on his face when he was buried alive! - "Guide to the Use of Ornaments" by the gray dwarf craftsman Koki."
…
Sure enough, it was this equipment. Woody was a little bit surprised when he saw the data in front of him. He had already deduced the possible strange object from Seluman's diary, but he still couldn't help but feel the gray look on his face when he actually got it.
A hint of joy.
Because only the ring made from the core of Thor's stone monster can also have the effect of placing solid rocks and resisting psychic energy. Woody, who has ventured underground, is naturally familiar with this kind of ring. He has owned this kind of ring more than once.
And I also fought many times with the raw materials of the ring.
——"Thor Stone Monster"
The Thor Stone Monster is similar to the Shark Lizard. It is an underground creature that lives in rocks. Like the Shark Lizard, it is one of the common underground troubles in the mouths of many mine owners and underground adventurers.
However, compared to the latter, the Thor Stone Monster is more picky about food. It is not interested in any meat products. It only likes precious metals or ores, so they rarely attack travelers unless he carries it.
Very fond of precious metals and ores.
They look like a big round stone as a whole, if you ignore the three legs below and the three hands above.
Of course, if you look at it from the front, there is a high probability that you can only see one or two hands and feet, because the body of the Thor stone monster will be evenly divided into three semicircles by the three hands. The center of the body is towards the top of the hand.
It opened a huge mouth like a cavity in a mountain, and the inside was filled with sharp blades that rotated counterclockwise. Under the mouth, in the middle of the two hands, each had an eyeball full of wisdom.
And these three eyeballs also ensure that the Sol Stone Monster can always achieve all-round protection when facing attacks, and there is no possibility of being attacked by sneak attacks.
In the mouth of players, this kind of characteristic expertise is generally called.
——"Global vision"
Scenes in all directions can be observed, and when searching and reconnaissance, this can bring a +4 observation bonus. Generally, the "Detection Guard" of a mage has the same effect.
The effect of the ring's "stone travel" comes from the innate spell-like ability of the Thor stone monster.
——"Melt into stone."
The miraculous ability to completely integrate one's body into soil and soft rocks is different from the "Stone Shaping Mud" spell brought by the Stone Shaping Gloves.
The way to advance underground is not to dig, but to blend into the earth like a shark lizard or a giant earth monster.
"Stone Walking" has the same effect, except that metals and artificial creations cannot move freely and will be blocked. The subject can swim underground as easily as in the sea. And no passages or caves will be left.
Therefore, the Thor stone monster in the ground rarely advances to the druid profession, because once it advances, its animal companions cannot follow it and escape into the mud...
"With it, we can explore more like before."
Woody quickly placed the ring, originally used to bind the dwarf's beard, on the thumb of his right hand, and at the same time whispered the dwarf language engraved on the ring.
Immediately afterwards, the familiar feeling flooded into his mind again. Woody felt the ground change. His feet sank into the mud, but it was not sticky. It was like a swimming pool with the depth of the pool adjusted by him at will.
He took out his right leg and penetrated the ground in front of him, as if he had steps under his feet. Soon, only his head was left on the ground, which frightened the young monk girl beside him so much that she thought Woody was dragged down by something.
Halfway through, I calmed down after seeing his calm face.
"I'll go to the front and have a look. You wait for me here."
Woody informed Angelina and controlled his body to walk deeper into the soil.
When the whole body is immersed in the soil, Woody is naturally unable to observe the surroundings, but the stone walking technique will give the subject the ability to sense vibrations. The strength depends on Woody's perception attribute. He can now detect the vibrations above his head.
The point where the pig wanders and moves in the passage is as clear as someone touching a certain part of his body.
He continued to walk forward. The Stone Walking Technique allowed him to breathe in the dirt. Soon the point on his head gradually faded away in his perception. Woody could sense everything except some impenetrable ore obstacles around him.
Less than.
However, he had already experienced this in his last life, so when the soil wrapped around him in all directions, his fingers had already determined the direction of the exit at the other end according to the passage diagram in the diary. As his body dived in, he only had to keep moving forward.
However, if you don't move your fingers, it will become his most determined "compass".
Along with the long and boring journey through the land, Woody quickly sensed the dense water points washing away on the soil surface, as well as the decrease in the thickness of the soil ahead.
"We should have reached the end. This should be the waterfall and underground lake mentioned in the diary."
Feeling the location of the exit of the passage, Woody controlled his body to rise.
Soon, his vision was restored, and at the same time, the touch of his skin was restored. He felt moist water droplets dripping onto his face.
After struggling out of the mud, Woody closed Thor's ring again in Dwarf language, and then he concentrated on looking at the environment in front of him.
Through the gap in the falling water, he could see a huge pool of water in front of him. It was smaller than what he saw in the black market, but it was also very large, as big as several football fields.
But just as Woody was trying to find a way out of here, he seemed to see something moving slowly above the water of the deep pool, as if it was hunting.
Woody looked closely and found that it was a shark.
The shark has a white spot on its fin.
This is……
"White tip shark?"
Woody was a little dumbfounded, and his perception told him that the whitetip shark not far away in front of him was the same one he released before.
In other words, the water source of this deep pool reaches... that huge lake in the black market?
