Chapter 631

Athena had gone out to play, only Raistlin was in the room.

He looked at the two extraordinary people in front of him, and his eyes fell on the demon hunter who was as strong as a bear. He frowned slightly to show his dissatisfaction, and asked lightly, "Who is this?"

"Marino has met your lord." The tall witcher hurriedly saluted, bent his waist low, and couldn't hide the tension in his heart.

"My lord, the captain is the founder of our 'Path to Green', the person I trust the most in Albert Bay." Jevesque thought that Raistlin was not happy because he brought someone up privately, so he quickly explained: "I The ability is limited, so please ask the captain to inquire about the Underdark Region together, the captain has already got clues about the illithids."

Raistlin softened slightly.

In fact, he knew that Marino had been running around in the Bay of Albert for the past two days, and he also knew the reason why the other party was so considerate, but he didn't like them making their own decisions, so he gave a little warning.

"Captain Marino has worked hard. Please sit down, both of you." Raistlin stretched out his hand, and said, "What clues, please tell me."

Marino was overjoyed, sat down cautiously and replied: "My lord, there are not many people in the Bay of Albert who are familiar with the Underdark, but there are more than a dozen of them. Except for a few who are not in the city, I have visited them in the past two days. But they all said they didn't know the location of the illithid city."

As he spoke, he carefully watched Raistlin's expression.

These words are also very particular, not only implicitly expressing his concern for this matter, but also not blatantly expressing all the difficulties he encountered when visiting those people. For example, it took a lot of money to get some people to speak, or they were rejected directly, and even almost caused conflicts.

It's a pity that Raistlin's expression didn't change at all, and he listened calmly.

Marino could only continue talking: "I visited a few more senior soul hunters today. They have all been to the Underdark many times, and they may know some secrets."

"Sure enough, I asked for clues."

"An old friend told me that there is an unknown legendary powerhouse living in seclusion in the Gulf of Albert. On the surface of the New World, perhaps there is no one who is more familiar with the Underdark than that lord."

"I asked again and again, and finally found out the address of that adult, and then came to visit..."

Speaking of this, Marino looked a little unnatural, and so did Jevesque next to him. Both of them looked very disturbed, as if they had done something wrong.

"What's wrong?" Raistlin asked.

"My lord, we didn't mean it." Jevesque stood up in panic, "The lord learned that we were going to inquire about the Underdark Region, so he immediately controlled us and asked about you."

Raistlin remained expressionless, "And then?"

"I only told you your name and the city where you were looking for the illithids. The lord didn't ask about your origin and identity, so I didn't say anything." Jevesque took a bit of luck in his remorse. There was no interest in Slim's origins and no malice in them.

The eye of the soul confirms that he is not lying.

Raistlin didn't blame them, neither of them reached Legend, and the gap between their strength and the other's was too great. This kind of thing was not a transfer of their will, and it could not be called betrayal.

"It's okay, it's not your fault."

He waved his hand, which relieved both Jevesque and Marino, and asked, "Who is that person from?"

Marino replied immediately: "He is a drow from the Underdark."

"Dark elves?" Raistlin was surprised.

Drow is the Dark Elf, a branch of High Elf who was defeated in the civil war of the gods because of differences in beliefs eight thousand years ago, and the whole family was expelled from the kingdom of elves. After they escaped into the underground world of the New World, they gradually dominated the Underdark and became the rulers of this huge underground world.

Most dark elves believe in Rose, the spider queen and spider goddess.

This is an out-and-out evil god, cruel, cruel, and extremely evil. His followers are naturally not good people. The dark elves who believe in Rose are one of the most famous evil races.

In people's perception, the drow are a group of selfish, cruel, vicious and evil creatures who enjoy torturing, enslaving and killing. They hate everyone except themselves, especially surface creatures and elves, and vowed to destroy the elf kingdom "Oroan" one day and kill all their close relatives on the surface.

A dark elf living on the surface is too rare.

Raistlin asked, "Why didn't the drow kill you?"

"My lord, he is different from other drows." Marino recalled his previous experience, "My old friend said that this drow elf does not believe in the spider queen, but is a different kind among drows, so I dare Come visit."

Raistlin nodded. "Does he know where the illithid city is?"

"Yes." Marino replied, "The lord said that he not only knows the location of the city where the illithid is located, but also has been there. But...he doesn't want 10,000 gold shields as a reward, but has other conditions. See you later."

Sure enough, Raistlin knew that things were not that simple.

If 10,000 gold shields could solve the problem, Marino and the others wouldn't have to spend so much trouble.

He thought for a while, "Let's see each other then."

"My lord, that lord doesn't want to reveal his address, so I'd like to trouble you to go there. I've already prepared a carriage downstairs." Marino was delighted in his heart. I and Jevesque can also follow suit.

"Okay." Raistlin opened a random door and landed in the carriage outside the hotel.

The three of them went through any door and got into the carriage.

Marino and Javesque were secretly startled. This carriage was prepared by them. They did not tell Raistlin about its location or markings, but they were able to transmit it so accurately.

I have always heard that the magic of the legendary wizard is unpredictable, and I really saw it today.

The Transcendent driving the car realized that there was someone in the car, and couldn't help being surprised, "Captain? Is that you?"

Marino poked his head out and ordered, "Youtian, it's me. Hurry up and drive to the address I told you before."

"Yes, Captain."

The carriage moved slowly, drove along the street, and soon left the Golden Gate Hotel.

Raistlin's gaze penetrated the carriage, observing the cityscape outside. It's still the same feeling as a few days ago. The proportion of superhumans on the street is surprisingly high. Pedestrians are in turbulent flow. People are riding war horses, monsters and various mounts. Transcendent professions are also varied. Besides human superhumans, there are many other races .

Soon he discovered another thing.

The beliefs of the residents of Albert Bay are very complicated. There are also many believers in the three empire gods here, but they are no longer the absolute mainstream. Instead, the Lord of Storms has the most believers.

And the sun god, the dark moon goddess, the god of war, the god of strength, the god of elves, the god of dwarves, the goddess of luck, the god of mercenaries, the nymph of the lake, the god of the north wind, the goddess of wealth and trade, the goddess of nemesis, the guardian God, God of the Ranger, God of the Hunt, God of the Wild, etc...

The gods that are more common in the world of Arrenus can find believers in Albert Bay.

Of course, there are also many believers of evil gods lurking in the crowd.

Roxi the Defrauder, Black Emperor Bancor, Rose the Spider Queen, Khakasnu the Bloody Lord, Hextor the Mad God, Merchanveta the Queen of Pleasure, Tiasis the Mother of Dragons, Vicious God Sebat...these are only evil gods who can be distinguished by their names.

There are more unknown existences, and their believers are also walking on the street majestically.

Such chaotic and complicated beliefs are also reflected in urban architecture.

Churches, temples, monasteries and altars can be seen everywhere in Albert Bay, and there are more church branches disguised as other buildings. Whether it is good or evil, the dispute of faith is everywhere.

Raistlin even saw a church of the Goddess of Magic facing the missionary altar of the Black Emperor Banlkor.

The church and the altar are facing each other, only one street away.

It is unimaginable in the empire that the churches of the two sworn enemies are so close, but the residents of the Bay of Albert have long seen it.

Believers who are hostile to each other come out of it and pass each other, as if they did not see each other.

"As expected of the Holy City, I've learned a lot." Raistlin thought secretly.

Albert Bay is not only the pearl of mankind in the New World, but also the most populous, largest and most economically developed city. At the same time, it is also the headquarters of the Church of the Gods in the New World, a place where beliefs must be contested, and a holy place where believers from all walks of life gather, so it is called "Holy City".

The carriage headed south along the shore of the bay. No matter which direction you looked in, you could see a huge wall blocking your view.

The closer you get to the huge wall built on the top of the mountain, the more depressing it feels.

When passing through a certain intersection, Raistlin stopped the carriages and horses for a few seconds, and opened a random door, from which Athena stepped out.

She had just been playing in the city, and was summoned by Raistlin to meet her on the way.

Once in the car, Athena lifted the Disguise.

"I have met the honorable lady." Marino and Javesk greeted quickly.

"My name is Athena." The giantess introduced herself casually and asked, "Raistlin, where are we going?"

Raistlin replied, "Go see a drow."

"Dark Elf!"

Athena's eyes lit up slightly, and she became interested immediately.

Half an hour later, the carriage left San Fanguige and entered the city of Jose. The number of alien races on the street has increased significantly, elves, dwarves, gnomes, halflings, barbarians, trolls and orcs, they regard Jose as their homeland just like humans.

Jose's buildings also have different styles, but they are harmoniously integrated, like a melting pot of races.

"parking!"

A group of Transcendents patrolling the street stopped the carriage.

Their racial composition is very complicated. The leader is a wood elf ranger, and there are dwarf defenders in heavy armor, human shepherds, magic swordsmen and warlocks in the team. The equipment on their bodies is very sophisticated, and all of them are enchanted items. The professional configuration is very messy, but the overall level of spellcasting is very high.

Raistlin observed that everyone had a green emblem on their chest, shaped like a wooden staff, dotted with emerald green leaves and runes, faintly exuding the power of nature.

Marino said in a low voice: "My lord, they are the patrol team of the Emerald Staff, let me deal with them."

After speaking, he walked out of the carriage to negotiate with the other party.

Raistlin watched the men quietly.

In the past few days, he has been completely deaf to things outside the window. From time to time, he turns on the voice of all things and listens to the conversations of the supernatural beings in the hotel lobby. Athena goes out to play and tells him something when she comes back.

The three city lords of Albert Bay all have an extraordinary army under their command.

"Sea King" Akeman Namo has a sea lion guard, led by the storm priest, the main members are iron guards and magic swordsmen of frost and storm; Oakland's "One Punch Warrior" Bruce Created the "Rage Fist Knights", most of the members are melee extraordinary professions, iron guards, fighters and berserkers.

And José's "Bright Queen", the ancient emerald dragon known as the "Green Prophet", her extraordinary army is called the "Emerald Staff".

The members of the Emerald Staff are the most complex of the three armies, with the best equipment and the highest level of spellcasting.

The team that stopped the carriage was the patrol of the Emerald Staff.

Marino was indeed a bit thin-faced, showing his identity as the captain of the soul hunt, the wood elf ranger didn't ask any more questions, and let him go after taking a look into the carriage.

In fact, the wood elves saw only Javesk.

Before he poked his head in, Raistlin blessed himself and Athena with invisibility. Naturally, his spell could not be seen by a high-level elf ranger. Although nothing would happen to him if he was seen, but one more thing is worse than one less thing, direct stealth is the best way.

A moment later, the carriage arrived at the southernmost tip of the Bay of Albert.

This is the largest flat urban area in the Bay of Albert. It is very densely populated and mixed with many different races. There is a rare harmony and prosperity in the chaos.

The carriage continued south, getting closer and closer to the giant wall.

Looking up, you can see the corner of the huge wall. The included angle is about 60 degrees. The area with the smallest angle is like a canyon sandwiched between cliffs more than a mile high on both sides. Only a narrow sky can be seen.

After going deep into the canyon for several miles, the carriage turned into a remote alley.

This is already a remote place in the city of Jose. The alleys are unremarkable, no different from the surrounding alleyways. Some simple trees are planted, covering the townhouses and courtyards on the street. The carriage was unmarked and luxurious, and attracted no attention.

Soon, the carriage pulled into a walled courtyard.

Marino said respectfully, "My lord, we have arrived."

Everyone get out of the car.

Raistlin looked around at this not-so-big courtyard. It was a bit like a courtyard house in his previous life, but it had an obvious elf architectural style. The pointed eaves looked very elegant, and the walls were painted with exquisite patterns. The courtyard was divided into several sections by flowerbeds. There is an area with gazebos, flower sheds, and a glass sun room in the middle.

The ground was cleaned very clean, and there was a faint fragrance in the air.

Just looking at the pattern and layout of the courtyard, it is exquisite, elegant and ingenious, which makes people guess that the owner should be an elegant elf, or a pure and elegant human being.

Behind the grove opposite the courtyard, there is a wooden house with exquisite structure.

A well-proportioned black figure opened the door and came out, saluted everyone very elegantly, and said in the not-so-fluent Imperial language: "Welcome, guests from afar."

Athena couldn't help but widen her eyes, it was really a dark elf.

Raistlin's soul eyes saw more things, the other party was not only an outlier among the drow, but also an even rarer demon hunter!
