Relying on the common language of the underground world that he learned in less than a day, Li Wen roughly knew some of the rules of this underground world...or the customs and customs.
The drow's city of Menzoberranzan is a relatively well-known force in the underground world, but it is not the only one.
In addition to them, the dwarves' Glaikosturg, the dwarves' Bullingdon Stone City, and the Black Lake, a large underground trading place, are all famous forces.
In addition, there are many small tribal forms of various strange races living in corners that are difficult to know.
Sufficient air, various fungi, mushrooms and other food found underground, abundant and clean underground waterways...the existence of these things can easily support a population comparable to that of the above-ground world.
As for more...the underground world is very big, even as big as the surface world, but its circulation is far inferior.
Therefore, the records of the knowledge of the entire underground world that can be found by Kardashian and freely circulated are just that.
Of course, the too-distant underground world had nothing to do with Li Wen. On the premise of satisfying a certain degree of curiosity, Li Wen did not pay much attention to it.
What he cares more about is this drow city called Menzoberranzan.
There are at least hundreds of drow families in Menzoberranzan, large and small, and the leader of each family must be a priest of the Spider Queen Rose.
That is, the mistress.
In other words, there are at least several hundred matrons in Menzoberranzan.
Just like those demon kings in the abyss, when there are too many people, there will inevitably be bad situations.
The eight strongest drow families control almost all the say in the city, while the remaining small families fight with each other to grab the little scraps that flow out of their fingers.
Of course, people's hearts are the same wherever they are.
Without a visible promotion system or the possibility of improving one's class status, this system will not last long.
Therefore, the positions of the eight drow families are not absolute.
If certain competition conditions are met, even a small low-level family may rise to a high position.
The person who can finally judge and preside over all this is a place called Brache's Steps not far outside the city.
There exists an organization that is above all drow. It is above all drow and is called the Academy.
This is the only designated place to worship Rose, the Spider Queen, and was appointed by the Spider Queen Rose... God.
At the same time, it is also the place where Menzoberranzan trains all the priestesses and mages in the city, which is of great significance.
Those great elders who have sworn to serve Rose the Spider Queen for life are the supreme beings of Menzoberranzan who can preside over or even change the rules of the city.
So... the way for me, an outsider, to acquire that knowledge is to gain their approval, right?
The more Li Wen thought about it, the more possible it became.
"Master Poppy? Can I come in?"
Suddenly, Kardashian's voice came from the door.
"no problem."
Li Wen responded immediately.
Only then did Kardashian's figure appear from behind the stone wall and walked in under the warm candlelight.
"Master Poppy, in a few days it will be the day for us to participate in the city competition. As long as we can defeat other opponents in the competition, what you want should be available."
Since competition between drow families is allowed in the city of Menzoberranzan, there will naturally be some kind of positive guide to prevent endless internal strife among everyone.
Competition that cannot bring benefits to the city is meaningless.
The big competition that Kardashian talks about is an external invasion launched by their drow elves.
To put it simply, it is an act of aggression to plunder the population and slaves.
The target of the invasion is the underground dwarfs.
Those dwarfs are not very powerful individually, nor are they extremely vicious in character. They are easy to control and are most suitable for use as slaves.
This is what Li Wen could see in the book that Kardashian brought over.
So I wasn't too surprised when I heard it.
"I will be with you then."
Of course, Li Wen was not kind-hearted, nor did he help others do evil.
I just want to follow and take a look. This is an underground world with its own set of rules. It would be unrealistic for me, an outsider, to rashly say that I want to change the cornerstone of other people's existence.
It is more practical to ensure that the Kardashian faction wins the competition as much as possible so that they can get what they want.
Kardashian smiled softly at Li Wen, with no evil look on her charming face.
"We will try our best to win."
"Hmm~"
Li Wen responded softly and turned his attention to the book in front of him again.
Seeing this, Kardashian wisely planned to retreat.
"Then I'll go train them first."
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly appeared on the lower floor of the stone building, especially the loud voices of Kardashian's subordinates.
"What are you doing?"
"What do you want to do!"
"This is our mistress's place, you can't come in casually!"
Hearing this noise, Kardashian frowned slightly and ran away quickly.
Li Wen followed closely, wanting to watch the fun.
On the first floor, two slender drow were among a group of strong foreign men, but there was no trace of fear on their faces.
This is the city of drow. No foreign race dares to offend even the most ordinary drow in this city. This will be regarded as a provocation to the entire drow ethnic group.
Therefore, Kardashian's alien hunks just surrounded the other two, trying to use their bodies to block the actions of the two drows.
"What's wrong?"
Kardashian's voice made the macho guys subconsciously part ways.
Li Wen followed Kardashian and immediately saw the drow named Quilena whom he met when he entered the city yesterday.
After learning the underground lingua franca, Li Wen's superb memory level completely reproduced all the conversations he had heard before, allowing him to learn everything that had happened before.
It's just that this drow who was provoking Kardashian yesterday is now following the other drow honestly.
Zall, who was standing in front and looking at people through his nostrils, gave Kardashian orders with a cold and arrogant expression in a tone that sounded like giving orders.
"You don't have to participate in the competition in three days."
Kardashian looked unmoved, "Why?"
"Why? There is no reason. This is a competition between families. What does it have to do with you?"
Kardashian replied coldly: "My family is not a family?"
"A family whose registered permanent residence is only yours?"
The other party sneered, "Anyway, I'm just here to tell you a message. Our mistress doesn't want to see you in the competition three days later... and your garbage! Otherwise, be careful, there will be unimaginable consequences. Hmph!
"
After saying that, the other person turned around and left.
The drow named Quirina who was following her did not follow immediately. Instead, she took two steps forward and approached Kardashian.
Let those foreign macho men subconsciously press forward, trying to intimidate the drow from the hostile faction with their momentum.
Kardashian reached out to stop their behavior, so the other party came close enough to Kardashian.
She stretched out her neck slightly, and the other person's slightly taller head than Kardashian allowed her to easily put her mouth close to Kardashian's earlobe.
The words were cold and full of threats.
"Don't disobey the advice...otherwise, someone will die."
A cold light flashed in Kardashian's eyes, "What do you mean?"
"Do you think it's a coincidence that Yeguno appears there?"
After saying this softly, Quirina stepped back slightly and smiled contemptuously, almost in front of Kardashian's face, "The consequences...are at your own risk."
After she left, the alien hunks around Kardashian became excited.
"Participate! Why not! Who does she think she is?"
"Exactly! Aren't they just afraid that they won't be able to defeat us? They even came over to threaten us! The academy didn't even say anything, so why should they order us?"
Kardashian looked confused.
However, it seemed that he saw Li Wen behind him out of the corner of his eye and gritted his teeth, "Ignore them, we are participating. You continue to train and don't relax."
Kardashian's courage makes these alien subordinates excited.
"yes!"
Back upstairs, Li Wen took the initiative to ask.
"Looks like trouble."
Kardashian smiled helplessly.
"After all...I'm not the same as them."
Of course it's different.
The mistress is naturally the most important and core existence in the family. Without the mistress who is the priest of Rose, there would be no such thing as a family.
Therefore, only when there is a mistress, there is a family. This is a hard condition.
Under the mistress, there are the so-called senior personnel, who are generally the direct blood relatives of the mistress.
Below them are the middle-level personnel, usually other smaller family drow who are weaker and do not have Rose Priest in their families.
As for the person with the lowest status in a family, he is a foreigner, whether he is a foreigner's thug or a foreigner's slave.
Maybe thugs look nobler than slaves, but in the eyes of serious drow, all those who are not drow are slaves.
These are invisible unspoken rules, and everyone is like this.
Only Kardashian is special.
In her family, only she, the mistress, is a drow, and the others are all aliens.
To other drow, she is a heretic.
"So why do we have to use aliens?"
Li Wen asked curiously.
Judging from what he read in the book, the number of the drow tribe was not large, but not small either, and every sacrificial matron recognized by Ross was quite rare.
As long as Kardashian thinks about it, there should be many small drow families who don't have Rose sacrifices to join her, so she won't be alone.
"Maybe it's because... I'm used to it."
Kardashian gently brushed the curly hair around her ears, "I also had some drows here at the beginning, but I thought about those families who have accumulated it for many years, so it's not like me, an ordinary drow, can catch up with me after a short period of development.
So I found another way and thought of using those alien races who are powerful but not recognized."
"Sure enough...when no one was willing to accept and recognize them, as soon as I extended an olive branch to them, many foreigners came to seek refuge."
She has many people, strong strength, and one mind, but her name is not right, which is why Kardashian suffers from the hostility of other drows.
"But when there are more foreign races, other drow are not willing to accept the discrimination they receive when working with foreign races. Foreign races and compatriots... I can only choose one."
"You chose a foreign race."
Kardashian smiled bitterly and said, "I can't help it. After a long time, I keep looking at them... and I always have feelings for them."
"Then what to do now?"
"It's okay... Since I said I would participate, I must participate. I will train them well."
