Everything was planned properly and possible hidden dangers were eliminated one by one.
The three of them were all careful people, and they spent a lot of time going back and forth to demonstrate the feasibility of this plan, at least considering how to escape from the Underdark if it failed.
After telling Elminster the story about the ghost blowing out the lantern, the three of them set off a week later.
From the Pearl of Silvermoon City in the wilderness of the North, with the help of Queen Alustriel, the eldest sister of the Seven Sisters of the North, we entered the underground through the tunnel of Mithral Hall. The first stop was Blade City, the city of the underground gray dwarves.
At least there are human caravans, flowing gold coins on the ground.
The underground world of Elminster was also dark. He only knew the names of those cities, but did not have clear coordinates. He could not teleport, and everyone could only walk.
When they arrived at Blade City, the three of them first split up to inquire about the current situation of the nearby dark elf city, and then gathered together to discuss the next plan and select targets for action.
It can't be too weak or too strong. It's best to be a family that admires Ross infinitely but is not very smart.
The first three items are easy to find, but the drow family that is not very smart is a bit difficult to find. After all, all the fools and weaklings have died long ago.
Drizzt has been away underground for so long that he is not very clear about the current situation. His dark vision and early memories can only help him find the way, but cannot help him find a suitable partner.
All of this relies on intelligence.
Fortunately, gray dwarves are also dwarves. Although they are more sinister, vicious and cunning, they like alcohol.
Crops cannot grow in the underground world, so there is no wine production. Most of the things they trade or plunder from surface creatures are wine or food.
If it is a trade, they can provide ores or weapons and armor, but they are more inclined to rob than to trade peacefully.
Su Ming hated robbery the most. He had no technical skills at all. There were hundreds of gray dwarves who wanted to rob him. He killed them all in the narrow alleys of the city, and then strangled them to obtain the information.
These gray dwarves are good, and they also know how to pick Deathstroke when it is alone. If Elminster and Drizzt are around, it is really inconvenient for Su Ming to just let the brains of strangle-eating intelligent creatures read their memories.
With the target in mind, the three of them reunited outside the city and compiled the information. There was no doubt that Deathstroke had the most information, even better than Drizzt, an underground native.
This surprised the ranger, and he couldn't help but take a high look at the young human.
After discussion, the three's new target was the underground city of Shamas (sshamath) in the west.
It was a huge underground city. It was strange as a drow city because it was ruled by male mages, and the female priests of Lolth could only take second place. This was the only one among the underground dark elf cities.
Shamas City is the preeminent magic item market in the Underdark. It is recognized as a powerful trading partner by other underground cities. It also has an elite army of battle mages armed to the teeth to protect the city and the archmages.
But what Su Ming is not afraid of the most are mages, let alone battle mages. Playing with swords and magic at the same time? Even the Immortal species cannot be proficient in both. Not everyone can use the proud template of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts.
The male dark elves there gained an advantage through shadow magic, reducing the number and power of the drow matron, and they used the power of the Shadow Web, which is Shar, resulting in Lolth's teachings not having much market among men.
The dark elves there are obsessed with magical research and business. The eternal light similar to the fairy fire on the city wall makes this city the only city that never sleeps in the Underdark.
Drow don't like light, but light can provide convenience to surface caravans who do not have dark vision. If it is convenient for merchants, archmages can obtain more property and resources.
Compared with the discomfort caused by such a little brightness, sufficient supplies are more important. Everything can be bought and sold there, except for things you can't think of, there is nothing they don't sell.
Among the city's 60,000 people, slaves of various kinds account for a quarter of the population, while visitors from other countries, undead servants and summoned creatures account for the other quarter. Anyone who knows magic or divine magic, as long as
No matter who is afraid of being enslaved, everyone is welcome in this city.
There, the lich can take the purchased elf slaves on the streets with great arrogance, and the orcs can also do business according to the rules. As long as you are not bankrupt, everything will be protected by the mages.
Of course, those male mages are also dark elves after all, and you have to be careful when doing business with them.
Why did the trio unanimously set their target there?
Because the spider queen priests and crazy priestesses in that city were probably beating themselves with nine-tailed whips in their dreams, trying to overthrow the male rule.
So if three male dark elves appear now and are willing to surrender to them and bring the legendary 'Spider Totem' that can connect to the goddess' kingdom, they will definitely devote themselves to researching it after a brief hesitation.
When they realize that they have been deceived, Su Ming and the others can use their male identities to defect to the Shamas Supreme Mage Association to gain an escape route, and then slip into the spider web and leave the world.
It was decided happily.
Next, we relied on the guide to lead us on a long journey that we could only walk on foot because we couldn't teleport. We tried our best to avoid all kinds of monsters. When we arrived, it was nothing more than picking a lucky family among the families in the city to see who could get the Spider Queen's gift.
Favored.
.............................
one year later.
"Bye-Bye."
Deathstroke smiled and waved his hand towards the black-skinned woman in the distance. Her nine-tailed whip had already been cut off by the God-Slayer.
The spider drow summoned by the eight-legged evil emblem was torn in half, and the 12 archmages and archpriests who performed the ritual to release level 12 arcane spells were turned into ashes.
The patriarch had no way to defeat the enemy, so she could only fall to the ground helplessly, watching the mysterious drow male turn into a human, dancing and sliding into the mysterious passage that everyone had worked so hard to open.
The plan went more smoothly than expected. Although there were indeed some problems with the compatibility of the Shadow Weave and the Demon Weave, the priests of Lolth, the Spider Queen, used blood sacrifices and divine spells to make up for the shortcomings of the insufficient cost of casting spells.
However, when they opened the passage with great hope, hoping to welcome Rose, the Spider Queen, to the material world, they were met with cruel betrayal by three men.
Being drow, they naturally expected betrayal, but they didn't expect that the man named '***' was actually so strong!
The spider drow couldn't withstand a sword blow, and the Lamel demon couldn't withstand a punch. The family warriors and priests under him were crushed alive by the black tentacles, and the summoned abyss devils were completely reduced to mere soldiers...
.
He alone is an army.
What made the patriarch unable to stand up was not only the failure of the battle, but also the fact that she had promised the Spider Queen a way to welcome her to the material world in exchange for Rose's help, but now... think about the goddess's wrath
And punishment, she didn't even dare to die without permission.
After the three people who entered the 'network' temporarily closed the passage behind them, their next goal was to seize control of the spider network. As long as they succeeded, Su Ming's big plan would be off to a good start.
By the way, the structure of this spider web is quite similar to that of a sewer. Does it turn out that it travels inside the spider silk instead of on the spider silk?
But it's as narrow and dark as the sewer, so this is Deathstroke's home ground.
