On the wall of White Crow Camp, a guard recognized the orc and shouted: "Todd, I heard that you were captured by a group of goblins."
Todd was so angry that he almost swung the ax away.
Zhou Qingfeng, who returned to this moment, grabbed his friend and said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. But I really can't stand them insulting you like this. I won't go to this damn place."
Eh..., the orc slapped his ax and looked at Zhou Qingfeng strangely, "I'm very angry, but this is the only settlement nearby. It's already afternoon, and there's no way we can reach the next one before dark.
of the settlement.”
"I know." Zhou Qingfeng turned his head, "But this White Crow Camp is obviously not very friendly. The worst we can do is camp for another day. What do you think of the woods to the east? It seems pretty good."
Todd felt that he was hungry, but he was not willing to beg the camp guards to let him in, so he stupidly followed Zhou Qingfeng. The two of them first returned to the original route and then walked towards the woods to the east.
A few hundred meters into the forest, Todd suddenly stopped and squatted down, stretched out his hand to hold Zhou Qingfeng, and whispered: "Something's wrong, there are a lot of people in the woods, at least fifty or sixty."
It means you've come to the right place.
Zhou Qingfeng said, "Go and have a look." Todd also became curious and wanted to know what these people were doing. But he walked around several times and couldn't find a way to get closer quietly.
There were dozens of people in the woods divided into an outer circle and an inner circle. There were at least thirty armed guards on the outside. It was too difficult to sneak in quietly. Zhou Qingfeng saw that it was almost dark, so he stood up boldly.
Five or six guards immediately rushed out of the woods, trying to prevent the two from approaching. But it was already too late. Zhou Qingfeng shouted in a loud voice: "What are you people doing here? Is there anything shameful?"
In the lawless Black Forest, there are many unreasonable things. When other people encounter a surprise attack by the guards, they turn around and run away in fright. Only a fool would ask what's going on?
This shout resounded throughout the woods, and the guards were so embarrassed that they wanted to chop Zhou Qingfeng to death. But a low, old voice came from the inner circle of the woods, "Anyone can come to see me, and there should be no hindrance."
The guards who rushed up felt like they were under a restraining spell, their hands and feet were stiff and unable to move. Their eyes were filled with panic and helplessness as they watched Zhou Qingfeng walk past them and enter the inner circle.
There were more than twenty people in the circle. One of them, a bald man with a sinister face, glared fiercely at the two people who came in. Todd was not afraid of the excitement and whispered that it was Lucans, the leader of the White Crow Camp.
Zhou Qingfeng smiled and said: "Now he must know both of us."
The inner circle is a forest clearing, with a circle of people sitting around it, as if they are holding some kind of ceremony. Judging from their respective positions, they are not all from the White Crow Camp. At least Zhou Qingfeng was surprised to see Princess Inisa and
Nasser Knight et al.
Compared to the last time we parted, Her Highness the Princess looked much more haggard. She was still wearing the old dress, but the corners of the skirt were torn and torn, and she was no longer graceful and elegant.
The beauty's appearance remains the same, but under the curved eyebrows, her big bright eyes are slightly bloodshot. This makes her dignified a little less weak and more powerful.
The low-hanging hair was fluttering on Inisa's delicate face. This was a face that would be alluring to a country, but at this moment, her pride and smile could not be seen, only sadness and unwillingness.
Her Royal Highness the Princess also saw Zhou Qingfeng. She was slightly surprised but kept silent. She nodded slightly towards him with a calm attitude. Feeling that the atmosphere was serious, the latter quickly took Todd to find a place to sit down and take a look at the situation.
Before Todd could figure out what was going on, he sat down and looked around. The one who attracted the most attention was naturally an old man surrounded in the middle. He looked haggard, lowered his head and crossed his legs, and there was no movement. But there was something coming from him.
sound.
"Okay, let's continue." The withered old man said: "Who can talk to me about the Underdark?"
As soon as the question came out, the more than 20 people present were all whispering to each other. They were like primary school students who had received the question before the exam and were nervously organizing their answers.
Zhou Qingfeng was confused and asked Todd in a low voice, "What is the Underdark?"
Todd was suddenly startled and lowered his voice and said: "I know what these guys are doing together? The one in the middle is Master Modi. He likes to ask people questions wherever he goes. As long as he can answer his questions, he will
You can give back a reward.”
Okay, okay, you've already said it once - Zhou Qingfeng still asked Todd in a low voice, "What is the Underdark?"
Todd shook his head, "If I knew, I would rush to answer. Master Modi's feedback is very generous. Especially the knowledge and secrets, only you can't think of it, there is nothing he doesn't know. People say that the master is using this to find the right person."
Inherited apprentice."
The more than 20 people who were able to squeeze into the inner circle came from different places, and everyone was scratching their heads, like anxious monkeys. Zhou Qingfeng and Todd were like scumbags who had a blank mind in the exam room and could only watch.
Lucans, the leader of the White Crow Camp, was the first to receive the news and was the most prepared. Half of the twenty-odd people were his, and they even took out their books to answer open-book questions.
However, having more people is not necessarily helpful. After a minute or two of discussion between Princess Inisha and Knight Naser, they said: "Master Modi, I hope I can answer your question."
The 'master' who lowered his head and crossed his legs did not move. Only his voice came out: "Please speak."
"The world we are in is called the continent of Faerûn. The Underdark is the underground world of the continent. It is desolate and cold, and there are many dangerous creatures gathered there..." Her Royal Highness the Princess talked eloquently for about three or four minutes.
.
After finishing speaking, Master Modi denied it in a deep voice: "It's too general. It's all public information and there is nothing particularly secret. Your answer is not of high value."
Her Royal Highness the Princess looked dark and sighed: "I'm sorry, my knowledge is indeed not very rich. But can you..."
Before Inisha could finish speaking, Master Modi interrupted: "As a princess whose country has been subjugated, it is impossible for the few people around you to restore the country.
What you need is a reliable ally, but there are no allies in the Black Forest. Considering that you have answered a few questions, I have some property here, plus a map, so I can help you."
The master is indeed generous. As soon as he finished speaking, the wooden box next to him opened automatically, and more than a dozen gold coins flew towards Inisha. Everyone was immediately jealous, and they could actually get rewards for even a few casual answers like "not of high value".
"Anyone else want to add?" the master continued to ask.
Inisha's harvest made Lucans restless. But the Underdark has always been secretive, and little is known about the surface races. He and his men checked the book for a long time and stammered a few answers...
"There are dark elves in the Underdark, which are very scary. There are also illithids and black dragons, which are very scary." Lukans was completely repeating what Ynessa said, and he didn't say anything new for half a minute.
The master interrupted impatiently: "Don't waste time. If there is no one to add to it, I will ask the next question."
The question 'Underdark' was obviously too difficult. More than twenty people were frustrated and could only wait for the next question.
Todd sighed in a low voice, shook his head and said: "I once thought about how I would answer Master Modi's questions if I met him, and what kind of thing would be the best after answering. But now it seems that I have no hope at all.
I couldn’t understand what he said at all.”
A scumbag can always understand a scumbag. Zhou Qingfeng nodded. But when Master Modi wanted to continue, he suddenly raised his hand and shouted: "Master, can you talk to us about the Underdark?"
Others spoke softly and slowly, but Zhou Qingfeng raised his voice so that everyone could hear him, "Just talk a little bit so that we ignorant people can learn more about unknown areas."
The withered Master Modi has been sitting as still as a dead man. Others listened to Zhou Qingfeng's words and held their breath, not daring to make any mistakes. They didn't understand what Zhou Qingfeng wanted to do, but their eyes turned around, hoping
Hopefully Zhou Qingfeng can try a new approach.
The master's voice was a little unpleasant, but he remained silent for a few seconds and still did not refuse Zhou Qingfeng's request. He simply said, "The Underdark is the collective name for the underground world, where deformed and evil creatures live.
Glowstone and glowing moss are underground light sources. There are underground undercurrents and lakes that supply water. There are also cities underground, such as the dark elves' Menzoberranzan and the illithid's Orlindor. These cities...
"
Although the talk only lasted four or five minutes, everyone was fascinated by it. Even Princess Inisa, an authentic noble, heard many secrets about the underground for the first time, and only then did she know that there is a world under the surface that is completely different from the ground.

After Master Modi finished speaking, he continued to the next question, "Who can talk about Everlasting Island?"
