Chapter 763 The City of Moxobra

As he was moving forward in the path, a dark elf riding a lizard overtook him from behind.

If it wasn't for the torch that happened to be at the overtaking place, Yun Xiaohan might not even realize that he was overtaken.

This underground lizard has thick pads on its four hooves, and its footsteps are silent.They silently stepped on the broken floors, walls, and even the ceiling of the long tunnel, advancing at high speed with easy and fast steps.

With the help of their three-toed slimy feet, subterranean lizards can fly over walls like spiders, so they have become one of the favorite mounts of most subterranean creatures.

If it is in the bright surface world, subterranean lizards will not leave visible footprints when they step on the hard ground, but creatures with dark vision use the ability similar to infrared rays to observe the underground world. The phenomenon can be traced to the traces of subterranean lizards.

Judging by the naked eye, Yun Xiaohan estimated that the speed of this lizard is about 18. This speed is actually not particularly fast on the ground, but the underground road is much worse than the ground, and there are basically no ready-made roads. The narrow tunnel is even more bumpy. Due to the underground water, there are still many places where water is leaking, and the road cannot be seen clearly, so Yun Xiaohan's movement speed is greatly affected. His actual movement speed is probably only about 5 points now. .Therefore, it seemed that the underground lizard was very fast, and overtook him in one fell swoop.

After running for about 6 minutes, Yun Xiaohan finally got out of the tunnel and entered a huge cave.

This is a huge cave about a thousand meters wide and hundreds of meters high. In the center of the cave stands a brightly lit city. Yun Xiaohan doesn't know what kind of light it is. A slightly dull reddish glow with a hazy effect.

But no matter what kind of light it is, it is a good thing for Yun Xiaohan. His field of vision immediately returned to about 150 yards. Although it is not as good as the 200 yards on the ground, it is much stronger than before, and the hit reduces BUFF is also much less affected, now only dropping 10% hit.

Yun Xiaohan glanced to the left and found another road.This should be the main road due to the west, and the small tunnel he just walked should be a shorter path, and the two lead to the same goal.

There are countless stalactites growing upside down on the upper cave walls around the city, and there are countless stalagmites on the ground, but the stalagmites in front of the city gate have obviously been cleaned up, and only a small part has been preserved.

The largest stalagmite in front of the gate is about 20 meters high and about 10 meters wide, with some words engraved with magic seals on it, Yun Xiaohan walked a few steps closer and saw clearly what was written on it.

It turned out to be the name of the city written in elven script - Menzoberranzan.

Regardless of the fact that players from different camps can understand each other, this is due to the system, and some players speak a common language. However, if they do not master the relevant language, they cannot understand the characters of other races. In some plot spaces or special occasions, without systematic translation, players of different races cannot communicate.

In addition, in the middle and late stages of the game, if a merchant player wants to go to trade routes of other camps, he must master the relevant language, otherwise he will not be able to communicate with NPCs of other races.But aside from merchant players, how many combat classes waste precious skill slots learning language skills?Isn't this a pain in the ass?

Of course, players who have chosen the elves will definitely be able to understand elves. In this regard, humans are at a disadvantage. As the new overlord of the continent, human beings speak a common language. NPCs from all camps may not be able to understand common languages, but non-humans Race players are basically mastered, but the degree of mastery is not as high as that of humans.

So at this time, we can see the benefits of the deputy job of erudite scholar. Although erudite scholar is only an entry-level occupation in the erudite career system, it allows Yun Xiaohan to master most of the common languages, although occasionally there will be a small part when reading. I understand the part, but most of it is pretty good if I can understand it. I can understand the meaning even after guessing, and this kind of situation is rare after all. Basic communication can also be guaranteed, which is also in line with Yun Xiaohan's current situation. However, it is normal for half-orcs and goblin bears to not be able to master Elvish very well.

When seeing the name of the city, Yun Xiaohan finally received a new mission prompt.

The "ghost" quest has been completed. You have discovered the dark elf city - Menzoberranzan, and you think that the "ghost" is likely to be a dark elf. The branch mission enters the second stage - explore Menzoberranzan, Obtain other relevant task information.

Please pay attention to hiding your identity. The last three days are the sacrifice days (9 days in the game). Once found by the dark elves, the player may be sacrificed as a blood sacrifice to Rose, the queen of the spider god, and the player will lose his integrity. , and may randomly drop one to three items.

Seeing this, Yun Xiaohan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Didn't it mean that he only lost one level, why did it become two levels?Looking further down, you will know the reason when you see the quest notes. It turns out that players may also be sacrificed under normal circumstances, but because it is not a very formal sacrifice and there is no high-level priest to host, the player will only lose the first level of experience, and will not lose drop items.

There are also dates in the game, and the task prompt did not say that today is the first day of the sacrifice day. It may be the second day or the third day. If he is three days late, he will definitely not be able to meet this day. Things, maybe a day late will be missed.It was also bad luck for Yun Xiaohan to catch up just in time.

Yun Xiaohan can't do anything now, he can't wait for a few days before doing this task, he can't afford to waste time, if he can't level up normally in two or three days, it's okay, and the territory can't be returned, Hearthstone and territory teleportation are disabled.

Interrupting the mission doesn't work either. If you don't say that the mission is interrupted, all previous efforts will be wasted. Since accepting the branch mission, the option to abandon the mission has disappeared directly. The system does not allow him to give up halfway.

This is very painful. It is acceptable to drop one level, but it is not acceptable for Yun Xiaohan to drop two levels. If he had known that the risk was so high, he would probably have retreated. Now he has no choice but to drive the duck to the shelves.

It may be that the task is too difficult, but at the bottom of the task prompt is appended some useful information for the player, including brief city information and some information about the underground race.

Menzorberranzan (Menzorberranzan): It means the house of Menzorbera, named in honor of the first dark elf who came here.

City size: A medium-sized city with a population of 60. There are about 6 dark elves in Menzoberranzan City, and about 2500 nobles, divided into 134 recognized families, and the rest are civilian fighters.

Except for the dark elves, the rest of the population are humanoid slaves, and the city trades poisons, delicious mushrooms, lizard mounts, magic scrolls, wine and water.The city is guarded by dark elf forces (including full-time soldiers and armed men from noble families) and slave forces, with spellcasters to assist in the defense.

Menzoberranzan began as an empty cavern filled with stalagmites and stalactites.
