Chapter 632 Ghost City Shadow
Here, let me first explain the history of Waterdeep City.
Waterdeep City was not originally a human city, but a city of elves and dwarves. Later, because of conflicts between the two parties, the elves left the city, while the dwarves dug tunnels and disappeared.
So when humans came to the Northlands, they found that there was such a fully functional and uninhabited city without an owner—then they were happy to accept it.
Facts have proved that the approach of the elves and dwarves is correct. Ever since humans lived in Waterdeep City, there have been accidents here every three days, and there are little monsters coming to destroy them every now and then.
Okay, digressing.
After humans occupied Waterdeep City, they naturally discovered the underground tunnels dug by the dwarves all over Waterdeep City. No one knows where these underground tunnels lead. There used to be a mage named Hailferson who took his apprentices into the underground passage to investigate, but he disappeared later. Many people said that he was lost in the depths of the dark region and had become a mad mage. After living in Waterdeep City, countless adventurers went to explore the depths of the Underdark, but few of them came back alive.
There are also rumors that this tunnel leads to hell, because there are many monsters that have never been seen underground, and they will come to the surface of Waterdeep City through these tunnels anytime and anywhere in the middle of the night, killing the people of Waterdeep City in the dark night Residents - Of course, this is just a legend.
Well, the background is here, and the commission brought by Emilia is also related to the tunnels all over Waterdeep City. To put it simply—an adventure team disappeared deep in the tunnel. Master Kelben hopes that all adventurers can find that adventure team and bring them back.
Of course, as one of the masked lords of Waterdeep City, Master Kelben will not pay attention to those ordinary adventure teams. The reason why he pays attention to this adventure team is that there are his students and his nephew. Danilo Sahn.
As Kelben, it is of course impossible for him to leave Waterdeep City and go to the Underdark, but he cannot just ask other people to help with this matter. After all, one of his identities is the masked lord of Waterdeep City, his nephew. And the disappearance of the apprentice, maybe it will attract the attention of some caring people.
So when Emilia came to visit on behalf of Neverwinter to thank Kelben Black Rod for providing the antidote to the plague, Kelben immediately thought of this method.
So he asked Emilia for help, and led the adventure team to go deep underground to find his missing nephew.
As a Paladin of Tyre, Emilia is naturally obliged to do this, and then it depends on what other people think.
"I agree too, and I haven't been to the Underdark yet."
Touching the red and swollen face that was beaten by Roxia, Kasim said pitifully——Indeed, the Underdark is one of the legends passed down by adventurers, after all, gray dwarves, illithids, drow, etc. The...but they are all famous.
Not to mention Bator Hell.
Although from a physical point of view, no matter how hard you dig, it is impossible to dig into Bator Hell.
On the other hand, Luoxia glanced at Kasim with some worry, then looked away angrily, and then nodded.
"Well... I'm fine."
"Mr. Duanmu..."
"I don't really like going underground, but I'm still idle..."
Duanmuhuai also didn't object. In fact, he can be said to be very interested at the moment, after all——Duanmuhuai still wants to test whether his pink book is easy to use.
"However, I must declare in advance that as a judge, I will not let those underground heretics go. As long as I find out, they will have no choice but to die. Even their cities must be completely destroyed."
Whether it is gray dwarves, drows, illithids, or other messy things, from the perspective of the trial court, they are all heresies, and they will be killed if they see them.
"Well………"
Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Emilia felt a little uneasy. Of course, as a paladin of Tyre, she also hopes that justice will be done, but... To be honest, Emilia is not confident that she can kill the power of the entire Underdark.
After all, there are only five of them.
"But there are only five of us, and we are weak. Will it be a bit..."
"Something?"
Duanmu Huai glanced at Emilia.
"Why, do you feel that there is a disparity in strength and you won't fight? Then, as a paladin of Tyre, if you encounter a Balor demon, will you just kneel down and surrender?"
"of course not!"
Speaking of this, as a paladin, Emilia naturally couldn't bear it.
"I just think our mission is to... well, I'm not going to back down."
If Emilia says no at this time, then she will not be a paladin.
"We want to help too!"
On the other side, Kasim fully explained what a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.
"Although the Underdark is scary, as adventurers, we will never back down just like that!"
"I hope you don't blame me when the time comes. This is not going to hunt wild wolves in the forest, rookie."
Duanmuhuai looked at the high-spirited Kasim, and curled his lips. Rookies are like this. At the beginning, they fantasize that they can kill the Quartet. But in fact - in this team, only Duanmuhuai and Aojisi can really kill the Quartet, and if the others are beaten, they will only die.
Especially these two, at first glance they are the weak points of the team. If you put them in a place like the Underdark, it would be strange if you don’t deal with them to death.
But this has nothing to do with Duanmuhuai, he has already reminded.
"I will try my best not to delay!"
Although Duanmu Huai poured cold water on him, Kasim still did not flinch. Speaking of which, he and Luoxia also retrieved the raw materials for the antidote to the plague that was lost in Neverwinter. It would be as easy as finding a kitten or puppy. It seems... they also have some strength.
"Then go ahead."
Since they decided to go to the Underdark, it is natural to prepare food and various equipment, so everyone decided to go shopping tomorrow before setting off.
At the same time, deep in the dark underground...
"————!"
Angst suddenly opened her eyes and sat up. Her eyes were red, her whole body trembled, and she roared almost silently.
"Mistress!"
A drow guard opened the door and walked in—but the next moment, a negative energy ray shot out from the woman's fingertips and hit the meddling guard. The next moment he fell directly to the ground, and then quickly was dragged out.
No one spoke, no one made a sound, the whole room was silent, as if nothing had happened.
After a while, Angst put on the priestly robe, then she stood up and walked out of the bedroom. There, the heavily armed drow guards waited quietly for her order, like long swords drawn out of their sheaths. Angst stared at the guards beside her coldly, then looked away.
"Notify everyone to gather in the audience room."
After saying this, she walked coldly forward.
The dim audience room was still the same as usual, making people breathless. Angst sat on the throne on top of the spider icon, and beside her stood several senior priests.
"Mistress, at your request, we have all assembled."
"Um."
Mistress Angst nodded, and then she glanced at the crowd below.
"Just now, the great spider goddess gave me an oracle."
Speaking of this, several high-ranking priests next to her keenly noticed that Mistress Angest's voice seemed no longer as stable and domineering as usual, but trembling slightly, and even her body became tense.
"In the omen given to me by the great god, we saw the destruction, the destruction of our family, and the destruction of this city. Everything will be swallowed up by the flames. No one will be spared, not even the Our souls will also not be able to return to the embrace of the great goddess, but will be reduced to ashes in the fire..."
"this………"
I have to say that everyone was shocked when they heard this.
"Mistress? Are you sure...? No, I'm not doubting the future foreseen by the great Spider Goddess, but... who will it be? In this region, we are the most powerful family, this The city is also an incomparable and invincible fortress, and it has been favored by the Spider Goddess..."
"I don't need you to explain!"
Mother Angst slapped the high-ranking priest who dared to stand up and ask a question, and knocked her to the ground. Seeing this scene, the Martial Artist next to him frowned slightly. He could feel the anger and fear of Mistress Angest—yes, she was afraid, and she was angry because of this fear. The chief martial artist can understand Mistress Angest's thoughts. As the mistress of the Brewster family, she has ruled the family and the city for more than five hundred years. Being favored by the Spider Goddess, she has never felt fear or fear. She is proud of her identity, her family, and this city.
But now, she felt fear, and she should not have felt fear.
What did she see?
Is it a disaster? An irresistible natural disaster?
"Martial arts chief!"
However, at this moment, Mistress Angest set her sights on the chief martial artist.
"I ordered the most elite team to go to the surface as quickly as possible, go to a hotel called 'Black Oak' in Waterdeep City, and kill everyone there, leaving no one behind!"
?
Hearing this, the Martial Skill Chief's first reaction was that he couldn't believe it, because the meaning of Mistress Angest's words was already very clear. The existence that was about to bring destruction to this family and this city was in Waterdeep City. inside.
"Obey, mistress."
However, the Martial Skill Chief did not express his own opinion. For the drow elves, the opinions of men are irrelevant. So he also bowed his head to accept the order, then quickly turned and left.
It's just that the martial arts chief at this moment is still confused.
What the hell—what did Mistress Angost see that made her so terrified?
In that hotel, what the **** is there?
