In the dark area, there is an open space deep in the dense forest full of Zeke wood mushrooms. A bright but non-blinding blue and white light floats quietly in the forest. The long silver-white hair of three slender female drows and Ebony-colored delicate cheeks were clearly reflected.

This is the moonfire of the dark girl Eilistraee. It is a magical technique exclusively for the followers of the dark girl. It can not only be used as a light source for reading, finding a way to someone, guiding others and a specific location.

It will even be used as moonlight by his followers in the Underdark, a place where sunlight can never reach.

All in all, the role of Moonfire in all aspects is undoubtedly the same as that of the strongest Moonlight.

The bright moonfire was quietly suspended in mid-air, flickering with a soft blue and white brilliance, and all its selfless radiance was shed on a drow girl in the robe of Priestess Rose.

At the same time, two other drow elves dressed in translucent silver-white veils stood quietly in front of the drow girl facing the brilliance.

Under the long silver-white hair that fluctuated in the wind, there was a cheek with a gentle smile, and an expression that gradually relaxed the embarrassed drow girl.

They looked at the blue and white radiance like moonlight reverently, slowly folded their hands in front of their chests, and then gently spread their arms, as if they were opening their embrace to the light to the drow girl under the blue and white radiance. , and sing:

"On the face of the kingdoms, in that great land of the sun, a promised land awaits you.

Come in peace and live again under the sun, where the trees and flowers grow.

Spread happiness in all directions, sublimate your soul with words, humor, songs and laughter...May the brilliance of the dancing lady be sprinkled on your shoulders selflessly. "

...

Sitting cross-legged under a tall zeke wood mushroom, Thorne put the communication stone in his hand close to him, glanced at the sacred ceremony not far away, and then his eyes signaled the dragon beast that was crawling beside him to stay away from this open space together. .

Through the conversation with the sorceress Andrina just now, he learned in detail about this dark girl of the chaotic good camp.

The dark girl Eilistraee can also be called: the dancing lady or the silver-haired lady.

This is a very special god, because he is the only good-aligned **** among the drow.

The Dark Maiden is a drow woman full of melancholy and sadness, a lover of beauty and peace.

In addition to guarding all kind drows, He also protects those drows who are eager to live on the surface again, and who are eager to experience the forest breath long forgotten by their compatriots.

And just now, Ms. Melissa and the drow player named Majia, the ceremony they held was a sacred ceremony to welcome the Priestess of Rose player back to the surface.

As for why the female player who threw herself into the Spider God Queen Rose risked losing all her abilities and became a follower of the dark girl, in fact, it only takes a little guess to know what happened.

After all, becoming a sacrifice to a chaotic and evil god, it is not surprising that some things that destroy the three views happen.

It is precisely because of the ideal of the dark maiden that most evil drow burn with anger against this good goddess in the hearts of most evil drow, because this is a war between beliefs and beliefs.

Whenever a drow elf who is willing to pursue the goodness of his heart becomes a follower of the dark girl, it is equivalent to Rose, the spider goddess, who has lost the faith of one person.

As the faith-based gods, competing for believers is an undead vengeance.

However, for those drow who hope to escape the spider queen's web, the Dark Maiden is a delightful dawn in the underworld.

Although the Dark Maiden is naturally beautiful and peaceful, he also burns with anger at the evil that most drow harbors, and when his followers are harmed, this anger erupts into wild action.

Whenever and wherever, the followers of the dark maiden are encouraging the drow elves to return to the surface world, and are committed to promoting the harmonious relationship between the drow clan and the surface races, and making the drow legal and safe on the surface world. kind inhabitants.

Help the weak as well as the strong.

Help the gentleman as well as the barbarian.

Love peace and fight against evil.

...

Protect and support all peoples and promote harmony among all ethnic groups.

Helping outsiders, sheltering the homeless, and helping people in deep distress.

This is the teaching of the Dark Maiden, which fully demonstrates the benevolent, gentle and kind nature of this goddess.

Although the dark maiden has blazed a path of her own, one that welcomes people of all races to live happily and to be free in all necessary respects, the individuals who appreciate it—dark elves or not—are numerous few.

Because whether in the Underdark or the Light on the surface, the followers of the Dark Maiden have always been prejudiced and superstitious, rude and wrongly suspected.

The inhabitants of the surface see them as the evil heralds of the spider queen who dragged the continent into darkness.

And those drow who follow the way of Lorth or other evil deities see them as invaders disguised as dark elves in preparation for the coming war of extermination.

This feeling of being excluded is very similar to the mixed race on the mainland, and Thorne has a deep understanding of this.

As the goddess in charge of song and beauty, kindness and light, the dark girl always likes to sing a song or dance in the shade of a tree at night or under a moonlight (the less clothes you wear, the better) come to worship him.

At this time, Thorne finally understood the solemn reminder of Anderina's last sentence, why he was told to stay away from the followers of the dark girl as much as possible.

You dance, dance, so what are you doing exposed, and you have to put a light on the top of your head, Thorne is really puzzled by the hobby of this kind goddess.

Could it be the same with male drow who believe in dark maidens? If this is the case, will it be beaten to death by the passers-by who see it?

Thorne couldn't help but feel this question in his heart, and then he felt a chill for no reason.

So in order to avoid being misunderstood as a voyeur, he immediately walked towards the depths of the Zekemu mushroom forest with his animal companions.

Zeke Mushroom is a huge mushroom that can grow to more than ten meters. In addition to serving as an umbrella canopy, its spores the size of a human head can also be crushed to serve as grains.

In fact, the more important application value of this mushroom is the hard wooden stem.

As one of the scarcest timber resources in the Underdark, Zekewood can be used to craft furniture, containers, bridges, platforms, and more. Those skilled craftsmen can also use dyeing, sanding and polishing to create a variety of exquisite patterns on the surface of Zeke wood.

Moreover, in the Underdark, wanton cutting will not attract the natural wrath of the Druids, the only thing to worry about is the hidden underground monsters.

Thorne dragged his tired body and sat on the cold rock, thrust his sword upside down in front of him, and leaned his entire body against the mushroom handle behind him, thinking about something that gave him a headache.

Because he's in a bit of a bind now, and to ask the Delo dwarves in Lighthouse Town to help him forge weapons, he must kill at least 100 drow.

For him, this task originally thought it was very simple. With his stealth ability, as long as he stayed on the edge of the sphere of influence of Rezim King City, a large number of silly drow patrol teams would spontaneously come over to give him heads every day.

However, the reality is so skinny. After he personally tried an ambush, he finally understood why some people thought that as long as a surface adventurer could enter the Underdark and go back and forth once, it was a small achievement worth recording.

After ambushing a patrol team, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest. Even if a few of them ended up killing two tauren, after a while, a large group of ferocious bats and dormant pseudo-monsters came following the smell of blood. Arrive almost at the same time, like a dinner party.

Then, just like the street fights in the underworld, they fought together, and more and more joined in the fun. Of course, they were not a group of melon eaters watching the fun.

In the end, they took advantage of the multi-party melee to get rid of the tracking of the underground monsters and came to this hidden place established by the dark girl believers.

Moreover, this place is still within the sphere of influence of the Rezim King City. When there are often drow patrols to clear the surrounding monsters, what if it is those labyrinths and tunnels that no one has stepped on?

Thorne didn't know, and didn't bother to think about it, because he didn't dare to try randomly with curiosity.

Originally, he thought that the task that the dwarf Delo, who had a bitter hatred against the drow, had given him a simple task.

Now it seems that it is obviously impossible to complete it in a short time.

So he thinks that if he wants to complete the task as soon as possible, the stupid method of ambush is simply not advisable, and he must try other methods.

After thinking about it, Thorne finally felt that he still needed to go to the underground bar in the lighthouse town to find out some news. Maybe the people there knew more about the living habits of the drow elves.

However, the thought of seeing the troubled girl who wanted to keep him as a pet again gave him another headache.

So after Thorne calmed down, he sat cross-legged and began to slowly recover his strength, preparing to wait until his state was full before going to the lighthouse town.

Suddenly, a slight footstep made Thorne who was meditating suddenly open his eyes, and then his right hand involuntarily touched the position of the hilt of the sword. It seemed that it had become his instinct to draw the sword without a word.

Since there is no sunlight and stars in the entire underground world, he can't judge what time period it is, and he has no sense of time, and he doesn't know how long it has passed.

However, he can still hear the faint singing voices from the disciples of the dark girls in the distant forest. I won't say whether it's good or bad, and he can't tell whether it's good or bad.

At least it proves that those exhibitionists should still be practicing their voices there, so the footsteps approaching here are likely to be someone else.

So Thorne signaled the dragon beast beside him not to act rashly, and he held the middle sword tightly, and soon his body disappeared into the darkness under the blessing of the power of shadow.

"Huh, what about people?"

After the drow elf player Ma Jia finished a prayer for the dancing lady, she suddenly found that the magical half-elf ranger was gone, so she stood there and thought about it, and then followed the direction where the other party disappeared.

Why is it called Magic Ranger?

In fact, she didn't quite understand it herself. Maybe it was because the other player was different from other players, so she thought this title might be more accurate for him.

And the character of this Ranger can be seen from the sudden disappearance of the other party.

As a follower of the dancing lady, she is naturally very aware of the holy days and important ceremonies of the dancing lady, and as a devout believer and good at singing and dancing, she will also earnestly implement it.

However, whenever they gather together in the Black Pearl Forest on the surface and prepare to hold an important ceremony, there will always be some sneaky players sneaking in, which makes people very uncomfortable.

This incident made her feel very distressed for a long time, and even her firm belief was almost shaken.

However, the ranger player they encountered today, in addition to being very strong, obviously has a relatively good character.

Recalling the unnatural expression on the other side when she treated this ranger with divine art, Ma Jia couldn't help but want to laugh, and she was completely different from the other side's calm response to the enemy.

If only the ranger could talk a little more occasionally along the way, and then take off the hood that he always wears on his head, and take a look at his shameful appearance.

As for why she took the initiative to come to look for him, she couldn't understand it. Maybe it was because the other party belonged to another world like her, so it gave people an inexplicable sense of intimacy. The drow elf Ma Jia found for herself. for a reason deemed more appropriate.

In the tall Zekewood Mushroom Forest, the drow elf Maja searched back and forth with her pale red eyes, looking for the figure of a certain ranger.

When she found an adult-sized dragon beast with its entire body crawling on the ground, her keen perception suddenly noticed that someone was standing behind her, her expression tightened, and she did not dare to make a sound.

"What's the matter?" Thorne asked, looking at the sneaky back in front of him, then put the long sword in his scabbard, walked to the side of the dragon beast, and sat on a rock.

"No...Nothing, I just saw that you were gone and thought you were gone, so I came over to confirm." The drow elf Ma Jia was startled, she pinched the corner of her clothes, feeling a little guilty said.

"Then just sit down, I just have something to ask you about."

Thorne looked at the strange drow elf with strange eyes. When he noticed that the other party was wearing a long translucent silver-white gauze, he immediately looked away and pointed to another rock on the ground.

Since this woman is also a drow elf, and a player who has traveled to and from the surface, she knows some things about drow elves, so he just took this opportunity to inquire.

"Are you also the priestess of Rose in the Royal City of Rezim before?" Thorne saw that the other party did not refuse, and after thinking about it, he didn't know how to open his mouth to break the awkward atmosphere, so he asked directly.

In fact, he was very surprised that these female players chose drow elves for what they were going for.

Do you think they are good-looking? At least in terms of his aesthetics, he always feels that their ebony-colored skin looks very awkward, and they are also full of the spider **** queen's destroying three views.

"Actually, I don't like this race. When the game first started, I stayed in the Warlock Academy for less than a month, and then escaped under the guidance of Ms. Melissa." Ma Jia thought for a while, Choose to tell the truth.

"Since I don't like this race, why did I choose her at that time, and in the early stage of the game, you can delete the account and re-train, and you can just choose another one." Thorne leaned on the mushroom handle behind him and expressed his doubts .

"The game is a new life for me. Maybe this game is too real, so deleting accounts and retraining for me will undoubtedly destroy another life of my own hands. I can't bear to do it."

Magga noticed the drooping eyes of the ranger, her expression gradually relaxed, and she spoke to Thorne.

Weird idea.

This is Thorne's evaluation of the woman in front of him, and at the same time he thought of the racial experiencer in Horn Town who likes to express his emotions, and finally turned himself into a war troll.

"As for choosing a drow...it was completely fooled by a friend." After Ma Jia finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Thorne and found that the other party's expression had always been calm, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Have you been fooled?" Thorne got interested, so he straightened up and cast a puzzled look.

"...They said that the drow race is a matriarchal race, and the status of women is very high, and male drow can beat and scold like slaves, so I am very curious and want to try it."

I think you want to try the pleasure of beating and scolding men. Thorne glanced at the innocent looking female drow and complained inwardly.

Seemingly aware of Thorne's strange gaze, Ma Jia smiled unnaturally in response, and continued:

"Although the female status of drow elves is indeed very high, the doctrine of destroying the three views of the spider **** queen is too speechless, I really can't compliment it, and then I sneak out.

My luck was very good. Under the guidance of Katarina, the female owner of the underground bar, I met the followers of the dark girl. "

"Is that the friend who fooled you just now?" Thorne guessed tentatively.

After listening to the other party's words, he immediately understood the reason why many women chose the drow without hesitation. It turned out to be to better squeeze their poor fellow men.

Are all the female players in Rezim King City a group of female boxers?

"That's right, in fact, she was still very comfortable with the life in Storm King City. As a priestess of Rose, she has an attribute template. As long as her belief is firmer, her status is still relatively good.

But recent events made her aware of the danger, so she had to leave as soon as possible, so I asked me to help her on an adventure to the surface. "

After Ma Jia finished speaking, there was a hint of worry in her expression. Although the dance lady's followers were just to help those kind drow return to the surface, she was not optimistic about her friend.

As a priestess of Rose, she has lived in the Royal City of Rezim for more than two years, and has long been accustomed to the ubiquitous conspiracy and betrayal. Is it really easy for her to suddenly change her camp to kindness?

"What happened to the Royal City of Rezim?" Thorne's expression changed and he became interested, so he continued to ask.

"There was a black dragon disaster in a small town two days ago, which caused the Wan Rui family at the bottom of the ranking to suffer heavy losses. Our players in the King City of Rezim took this opportunity to unite and prepare to destroy Wan Rui. The De family, take the place of this family and become the upstart of the Rizim Royal City."

Although Ma Jia didn't quite know why the ranger from the surface was so concerned about these things, she didn't ask too much, but answered his question patiently:

"And my friend is not optimistic about this matter, she thinks that our players do not have the strength to overthrow the Wan Ruide family, so in order to save her life, she took the risk of being relegated and prepared to dedicate her faith to the dancing lady. "

"So it is." Thorne showed a sudden look.

At the same time, he began to think secretly in his heart. He felt that if he could contact the players in the Royal City of Rezim, maybe his task would be easier to complete.

Hearing this, he felt that it was necessary to get in touch with the group of female boxers to see what kind of monsters and monsters they were, that they could survive the reign of the spider **** queen, and they also tried to become Rezim. The upstart of the king's city sounds like a good mix.

"Then where do the followers of your dark maidens live on the surface."

After getting the answer he wanted, Thorne originally wanted to end the conversation, but he didn't know how to end it, so he asked casually.

"Black Pearl Forest." Although Ma Jia noticed that the ranger in front of him seemed to be very interested in the Royal City of Rezim.

After all, it is impossible for a surface ranger to come to the dangerous Underdark for no reason, and then think of the drow elves killed by the other side, she seems to have guessed something, but she is very knowledgeable and did not ask too much.

"It turns out that the Black Pearl Forest also has an entrance to the underground." Thorne glanced at the other party and continued: "I heard that the east of the Black Pearl Forest is the Silverpine Plain, and there is also a glorious city: Deep Rock City. ."

"That's right, Deep Rock City is located on the Silver Pine Plain, which is the safest place for our players, but because of this, many people have almost turned into salted fish." After Ma Jia finished speaking, her pale red eyes stared at The Ranger, asked curiously; "Are you also nearby?"

"I live in the Emerald Wilderness west of Winter City, separated from the Black Pearl Forest by the Shadowmoon Inner Sea." Thorne said, a little unnaturally looking away from the other party's curious eyes.

"The Emerald Wilderness." Ma Jia recalled some uncomfortable memories, because she saw many players fleeing from the Emerald Wilderness in the Silver Pine Plain, and heard a lot of unforgettable experiences.

Now in the eyes of this drow elf, the Emerald Wilderness is simply a graveyard for their player group. I didn't expect the ranger in front of me to come from there. No wonder the opponent's strength is so strong.

"I heard from the followers of the Dancing Lady that since the Heruk hobgoblins were defeated by the army of Winter City, these remaining hobgoblins have migrated to the Serene Forest further north. Is it true?"

"That's right." Thorne didn't deny it.

"If you really can't resist the Hobgoblins, I suggest you players in the Emerald Wilderness can migrate to the Black Pearl Forest." Ma Jia received a positive answer from the other party and kindly suggested:

"Since the Heruk Hobgoblin was driven out of the Black Pearl Forest, there is no fatal threat, and the players in the Silverpine Plain have turned their attention there.

Under the leadership of more than a dozen leaders, they all united together and planned to build a city of our own near the Black Pearl Forest. "

Are you going to build a city?

Thorne was stunned. He didn't expect that the players there were already so awesome, and they all had the ability to build a city.

But if you think about it carefully, it is not surprising. Since the gnomes in the Black Pearl Forest were driven away, there are only some beasts and ferocious animals left in the forest, as well as a few humanoid races. These low-intelligence beasts have no humanoid. The command of the human race really does not produce any fatal threat.

The most important reason why there is no humanoid race is that the Druids in Jade Garden are more strictly controlled. After all, it almost turned into a desertified area, so they naturally don't want the tragedy to happen again.

If the Hobgoblin hadn't killed himself, and his ambitions were extremely inflated, he would not have fled to the Serene Forest in embarrassment under the attack of Winter City and Druids, adding new threats to them.

"If they want to build a city, does the Druid agree?" Thorne asked his inner doubts. Building a city is not a family game, and the resources consumed are unimaginable. He doesn't think the conservative Druids will let them mess around. Come.

Moreover, the Silverpine Plain and the Black Pearl Forest are no better than the Emerald Wilderness, where the land is named and surnamed, unless the other party grants you territory, or it is a naked encroachment.

"I'm still negotiating now, I don't know about the rest." Ma Jia shook her head slightly, she was a follower of the dancing lady, and she wasn't very clear about these trivial matters.

After Majia's words were finished, Thorne, who had no topic to talk about, found that the drow had no intention of leaving, and he didn't know how to continue the conversation, so he was almost embarrassed written on his face. Simply shut up.

The two suddenly fell silent.

"After talking with you for so long, I still don't know your name."

After a while, Ma Jia broke the silence. She glanced at the ranger who was staring at the icy rock as if in a daze. Lady's Sword Dancer."

Thorne looked at the graceful drow elf, hesitated for a moment, got up and shook her palm, and said calmly: "The town of waterfalls, half-elf ranger, Thorne."
