The Era of Gods

  Chapter 565 A profitable business

The fourth level of the Underdark Region is home to various powerful beasts. In fact, the third level also has a large number of beasts. The drows have fought cruel battles with these powerful beasts on the third level for thousands of years, even if there is a Lord of the Darkness. Blessing is now the overlord of the third layer of the Dark Territory, but outside the traditional drow territory of the third layer of the Dark Territory, it is still the world of Warcraft.

  And the strength of the monsters on the fourth level is more terrifying than the third level, even the drow dare not go down.

  It is said that there are terrifying mind-savers living on the fourth floor. These mind-savers who are good at controlling the minds of creatures have established a kingdom of mind-savers on the fourth floor, enslaving all kinds of creatures.

The fifth floor of the Dark Territory is said to be the kingdom of the Lord of Darkness. It is said that because the Lord of Darkness has too many enemies, his kingdom is not in the star realm, but on the fifth floor of the Underworld, but the fifth floor of the Dark Territory is too It is too dangerous, even if the legendary adventurer enters, it will be difficult to come back after nine deaths, naturally no one knows if it is true.

  As for the sixth floor of the Dark Territory, it is said that there are a large number of exiled gods and terrible evil things wandering, and the level of danger there is that even the true gods dare not go down.

No one knows the seventh floor of the Dark Territory, because there is no existence yet and dare to enter there. No one knows what's inside. Even when the True God members of the Greedy Wolf Band explored the Dark Territory, they only reached the sixth. Layer, did not enter the seventh layer.

  The passages and rotating stone ladders connecting different places in the dark area are constantly changing with the movement of the terrain. This means that soon after they entered the underground passage, they saw that the road ahead was cut off by falling rocks.

  Several caravan's guards stepped forward and took a photo with a torch, and they could still see the opposite side that was not blocked. After discussing it, they decided to set up a temporary camp and send someone to dig up the passage.

  It is different from the general detour if you encounter this situation on the surface, but the underground world is too complicated, and it is easy to get lost in a detour, so it is generally not a detour unless it is a last resort. If you can dig, you must dig first.

The caravan set up camp, and the smoke rose. The halfling chefs who accompanied the caravan were grilling meat by the fire. The mercenaries were sitting in a pile, drinking ale, and many mercenaries sang loudly. Have fun by yourself and maintain a good attitude, otherwise you will be easily depressed on the way back, and you will be easily affected by some unknown forces underground.

  Marin picked up a piece of barbecue from the shelf and put it on the silver plate and handed it to his nephew beside him:

  "Send it to the mystery lord!"

  Noel, wearing a half-length armor, answered, took the plate and stopped in front of the carriage, slightly nervously knocked on the door, and said:

  "Mystery, please taste the craftsmanship of the halfling masters in the team."

Lin Xiaowan saw the barbecue on the plate in front of him when he drove the car, and snapped his fingers. Noel felt his hand light, and the silver barbecue plate in his hand flew up and fell into the car automatically, his eyes suddenly showed a trace of envy and awe. .

   Pick up the silver table knife provided in the silver plate and cut the roast into small pieces and stuff it into the mouth. The roast is not burnt or tender, and the salt taste is moderate. It tastes delicious, not as greasy as imagined.

   "Not bad!"

  Lin Xiao commented very pertinently that halflings are well-known gourmets in the exotic world, and they are indeed well-deserved.

  It was getting late, the guard continued to chisel the stone, and the clanging sound was very loud, even if the carriage was soundproofed, it could not be completely isolated. He added a soundproof barrier to the carriage and fell asleep.

  The incarnation of the gods can actually be without eating, drinking, and sleeping, but that seems too high-profile.

  It took two days for the caravans to cut a gap in the passage that could accommodate the caravans. The huge caravans passed slowly and continued to move forward.

Next, Lin Xiao could see how complicated the terrain of the gloomy region is. This is a more complicated terrain than the underground he has seen in other worlds. There are rugged rocks everywhere, and the dark underground world only has the fluorescent light on the stone walls. The moss exudes a faint brilliance, and the torches lit by the caravan walk on the rotating stone ladder like a fire dragon entwined on the stone ladder.

  Lin Xiao snapped his fingers, and light **** emitting soft white light flew out and hovered around him, illuminating the surroundings.

  The surrounding mercenaries were envious when they saw this scene, not only for convenience, but for the survival ability of a senior mage in a dangerous dark area.

  After walking in this complicated environment for almost a week, the angle of the rotating stone ladder began to smooth, which means that the first layer of dark area is about to arrive.

The flame flower caravan carries a large amount of salt and ale, as well as various materials that are not available in the underground world. It can be traded from any race in the underground layer to a large number of underground gems, or exotic animals and animal skins that are unique to the underground world. Etc.

  According to the total amount of materials carried by the Flame Flower Caravan, this trip can earn at least several hundred thousand gold coins.

  Crossing between the ground and the ground, the landform of the first layer of continents has relatively little change. Although the ground is still very rugged, it is relatively flat.

Marin took the caravan around a certain area for a while, and found a thick stone pillar. He found the mark left last time last time. Using this mark as the center, he distinguished the direction and the caravan went to it. Go in one direction, and the direction they are going is a gray dwarf's castle.

The flame flower caravan likes to do business with the gray dwarves. These close relatives also have superb craftsmanship. The caravan trades them with the salt and the gray dwarf’s favorite ale, and transports these fine weapons and equipment to the surface. Can sell for a big price.

  Lin Xiao is going to follow the caravan to the Gray Dwarf City, stay there for a few days to understand the underground situation, and then decide where to go.

  Although he already has a suitable goal in his mind, it’s not bad to know more before then.

  There were almost no monster attacks along the way, nor did they encounter the terrible drow raiding team. The mercenaries and guards who had been very vigilant began to relax, and some even made jokes.

But when the caravan passed through a narrow underground valley, suddenly a huge black shadow fell into the caravan from the top of a stone pillar, only to hear a scream, and then the black shadow took advantage of the other mercenaries to not respond. Before coming over, he jumped up quickly, climbed to another stone pillar with his hands and feet, and quickly circled to a high platform behind the stone pillar.

The mercenaries who reacted at this time shot arrows or crossbows with bows or crossbows, and some threw javelins and torches, but the black shadow jumped back and forth among the stone pillars very quickly, chewing and screams were heard from time to time. The mercenary caught was not completely dead for a while.

Lin Xiao frowned slightly, and the incarnation of God had a dark vision. The black shadow that jumped swiftly could be clearly seen as a teroclaw with sharp claws about three meters high. It is the most common one in the first to third floors of the ground. One of the predators.

  This kind of monster eats everything, from ordinary beasts to drow elves, which are all targets of its attacks. They are very cruel and cunning.

  The mercenaries couldn't help this flexible monster at all, and as the noisy sound came, he vaguely heard the same crawling sound in the distance, and it was estimated that other Deinonychus were coming over.

He shook his head and stretched out his hand. A cloud of white light flew into the air and exploded fiercely. For a moment, it was like a hundreds of watts bulb lit up. For a moment, the bright light illuminated the surroundings. The mercenaries below did not respond to the sudden light. After a while, people turned their backs on their horses, and a few Deinonychus fell directly on the stone pillar.

   "Crack!"

  A thick chain of lightning blasted out, blasting several Deinonychus into fireballs in midair, and they turned into coke on the ground.

  The mercenaries who reacted were stunned, and then looked back in awe.

These Deinonychus are difficult to deal with even tenth-level fighters. In this dark environment, it is estimated that at least ten people will be killed to kill these Deinonychus, but for Lin Xiao, it is a complete destruction. The eyes of the mercenaries have changed from the previous admiration to the current awe.

  Two days later, the caravan crossed the long underground gorge to a plain, and from a distance saw a huge stone castle in the middle of the plain.

  Saw a gray dwarf patrol halfway, they rode low underground lizards on the rugged surface, and quickly came to them.

  Caravan leader Marin and the gray dwarf are very familiar, and they walked up to talk for a while, then took out a heavy bag and handed it over, and they were released smoothly.

Soon I came to this gate named Stonehammer Castle. The gate made of Shanghao brass was covered with huge copper nails. The entrance was a huge trading square and four radioactive streets. The streets were lined with short streets. Stone houses, along the street, you can see from time to time a weapon shop with hammer signs, and from time to time various races enter and exit from inside.

  You can also see all kinds of orcs, humans, halflings, gray dwarves, tauren, goblins, etc. on the street from time to time.

  These human orcs are mostly explorers from the surface, adventurers, or criminals who can't get on the surface, etc. No one here pays attention to their past, as long as they don't cause trouble, they can be allowed to enter the city.

  After paying the entrance fee of ten gold coins, the caravan entered the castle smoothly. Marlin spent 20 gold coins to rent a piece of land in the trade square as a booth fee. After unloading all the goods for the guards to arrange, they began to shout:

  "The most refined salt and the best ale on the ground!"

  Opening the lid of the ale while screaming, scooped out a scoop of ale and sprinkled it on the ground. The scent of the ale suddenly wafted out to attract the gray dwarves around, which was also mixed with some orcs and other races.

Although the gray dwarves are far more treacherous and cunning than their counterparts on the surface, they also have the greatest weakness of distant relatives, and they absolutely cannot resist the attraction of ale.

  In the dark area, it is impossible to grow the wheat necessary to make ale. Marin knew this well, so the most cargo brought by the caravan this time was ale.

   So soon there was a bidding sound in the square:

   "I have ten sets of steel bust for two barrels of ale!"

   "I will exchange twenty refined long arrows for a barrel of ale!"

   "I have 50 sets of exquisite plate armor for ten barrels of ale!"

  As the ale dwindled, the gray dwarves who hadn’t switched to ale were almost jealous, and the asking prices continued to rise. Lin Xiao was stunned and heartbroken.
