Dark Shadow Shrine
Chapter 477: the beginning of the turmoil
Halis is a female drow who believes in the dark maiden. As a sacrifice to Ithia, the devourer of spirits, she was almost served as a snack for the ancient evil beast.
Compared to being eaten by Itia, the pain he suffered before was nothing. Before she believed in the Dark Maiden, she lived an extremely filthy life as a martial arts master of a small family in Menzoberran.
She was lucky, at least luckier than many of her comrades trying to escape the Underdark with her. She reached the ground alive, enjoyed the sun alive, and even stayed here, among the strangest new gods.
She knelt down on her knees and worshipped Raven extremely devoutly. This is out of courtesy to the savior, and out of courtesy to a powerful new **** who can thwart Rose's conspiracy many times over.
Then she was stunned to find that the incarnation of Eilistraee, whom she believed in, was standing beside Raven.
"My Lord"
"There's no time, you obey the arrangement of God Yunfield."
"Yes"
Raven threw out an even more irresistible reason: "The underdark is about to undergo drastic changes, and Eilistraee and I both need you to return to the underdark again. Guide a new path for those who yearn for the light in the dark drow race. Path of Light."
Although it was only a few days to come to the splendid ground, Heris felt that she was happier than a hundred years before. There was no discrimination, no pain, only endless joy.
Reluctance is for sure. But thinking that it was Eilistraee's order that she believed in, Heris was full of power.
Raven raised his hand, and a glamorous vampire handed over a plate with a piece of paper full of key points.
"Read it, remember it, and do it. When it's all done, you can withdraw to Phantom Knight City. Don't worry, I've let the Phantom Goddess Lyra cast magic on you. Your disguise is perfect. As long as you There are no flaws in your words, and even the Great Mistress of the First House of Menzoberran can't see through your disguise."
"Really" there are no gods in the Underdark who are good at illusion, and it's normal for Heris to not know.
"Yeah. As long as you don't run into the incarnations of the three gods Velen, Chiarwin Sari, and Sylventam at close range, you are safe." Eilistraee affirmed.
"Yes, my lord."
On January 8, Heris returned to Chid, a city controlled by the dark drow in the Underdark.
The Underdark is located at the bottom of the Ultron continent. It is a collective name for the world beneath the feet of the surface inhabitants of the entire continent. Misshapen, evil creatures live here to avoid the sun. The Underdark is filled with cities and nations of delo, dark elves, grey dwarves, and mind flayers.
After the dark drow led by Rose lost the crown war with the elves, the dark drow who retreated into the Underdark became an important race here.
In addition to the most famous city of Menzoberran, there are many underground cities like Chid that are controlled by dark elves.
It is a lively city, with drow and gray dwarves everywhere, and even occasional illithids.
Heris felt that it was too crowded, and for some reason there were three times more creatures than usual. The roads were crowded with desperate, hungry people. They pushed and jostled, the noise was deafening, and the smell was unpleasant.
Looking back at her team, she felt extremely strange.
A black-haired half-bear who paints his fur black and wears a collar to pretend to be a slave warrior.
A High Priest of House Henet who was once the sixth-ranked in Menzoberran. Now taking refuge in Raven's rebellious priest Kundna, she posed as a low-ranking priest Dena.
A strange bald human monk named Arwen and a mysterious shadowy assassin named Rex act as her mercenaries.
"What exactly are we going to confirm?" Heris asked the assassin named Rex. Raven had been instructed by God, and this Rex's order should be the main thing.
"No, what we're going to do for the time being is to watch a play."
"playing"
"To watch the play"
In the downtown area, there was a sudden commotion. For some unknown reason, four Hobgoblins started attacking a low-level priest of Rose who was buying wine.
If it was a month ago. This is completely unimaginable.
The hobgoblin kicked the female drow priest into a mouthful of mud.
However, the priest did not fight back immediately, but instead muttered to himself.
"I beseech you, our Mistress Rose, answer me. Give me your blessings. Don't forsake me, I am your faithfulness."
A hobgoblin then stabbed her with a sharp stick, and she jumped up screaming, and the bottle fell off the limestone floor, shattering, and the remaining liquid splashed around.
"Damn slave," she shouted to the teasing hobgoblin, reaching out her arms and trying to move forward as if to strangle him.
The second hobgoblin stumbled over the priest with the short spear stretched out at will, and slammed into the mud again.
She knelt on the ground, raised her hands, and shouted, "O my goddess, look after me, help me, don't forsake me, your faithful servant, she will obey"
"Your goddess is dead," growled the first hobgoblin, kicking the drow.
She was kicked to the side, grunting as she grabbed the whip.
"No," she screamed: "Rose won't give up on us. She's strong. Her followers are strong."
The four hobgoblins stepped forward, and the drow priest tried to kick them, but they easily ducked and stabbed her with their spears. Hollis saw a line of blood gushing from the dark elf priest's thigh.
The "master" half-bear seems to be asking Dena, who is theoretically the master, if she wants to do something
Awen clenched his fists and seemed to be ready to shoot at any time.
The former high priest put his hands on the arms of the two temporary companions, telling them not to worry.
Dena gestured to the sidelines.
Black Hair immediately realized that no Drow had come to help her. Immediately, Kuroge saw that there were several drows in the crowd she pointed to, and they just watched coldly.
Seeing the inquiring eyes from Rex beside her, Kundna could only whisper to her companions and said, "She is considered to have lost her faith and lost the favor of Rose because she is unable to perform divine magic, and she deserves it."
In fact, when she said this, she thought that she had lost Rose's favor, and when she thought of this, she also shuddered.
However, it is clear that Rose is silent, and the news that Rose may have fallen has spread in the Underdark. Otherwise those slave races would not be so presumptuous.
"Let's go, the storm is already brewing." Rex's words suddenly reminded everyone.
If even slaves dare to attack a drow priest recklessly, then their team, which seems to be dominated by drow priests, is likely to be targeted.
Several people nodded at the same time and quickly retreated to the hotel.
In fact, just as they began to withdraw, the drow priest let out a dying cry, and she was stabbed hundreds of times with short spears quickly and accurately by the hobgoblins, and she seemed to be dead.
Behind them, the crowd around them became more and more agitated and more violent. Several drow in the crowd felt constantly pushed and thwarted by hard objects as they tried to escape from the restless crowd.
After witnessing the slaying of a drow, other races also emboldened. The curses on the drow and their missing goddesses grew louder. Finally, the dark elves hurriedly rose from the crowd with levitation techniques, or rushed into the wider streets. The atmosphere in the whole Chid city is getting worse and worse, more and more violent
In the Flame Lizard Hotel, the broken Arwen closed the door of the hotel room, Helis closed the window, and Kundna skillfully used her newly mastered illusion spell to block the surrounding sounds.
Heris asked Rex: "Obviously we're in trouble. If that's what you want to know, then I suggest getting out of this riot-spreading city as soon as we get caught up in another slave riot or worse. Enter Menzoberran before. For that, I think it's a wise choice."
"Of course I listen to the experts on this kind of thing. You two have no opinion, so be it."
Heris and Kundna looked at each other~lightnovelpub.net~ and nodded at the same time.
The group left Cheed.
A few kilometers from the city, they stood in the darkness, looking down at the undulating rocky plain beneath them that stretched beyond the limits of their darkvision.
In the distance, some lakes flowing with acidic substances continuously emit thick smoke into the air. Huge pits and canyons cut the terrain like scars, and the depths of open wounds on the surface were impossible to detect from a distance. The ground is littered with caves, craters, and craters that look like bursting abscesses or screaming mouths.
Hollis didn't see any kind of plants, not even shrubs or mushrooms. The earth was dead silent, as if it had been destroyed by a cataclysm.
"Oh my God, is this the Underdark Region I know?" The two native drow elves were stunned by the unfamiliar scene in front of them. To be continued.
