  Chapter 634 The happy journey begins

The drow's raid didn't work, so they were naturally counterattacked—there were also powerful adventurers and mages among the travelers living in the Black Oak. Maybe they didn't notice the difference at first, but when the battle officially started, unless they were blind And Deaf, otherwise everyone would have discovered the attack of the drow, so they also rushed to fight back.

  The result was naturally predictable. When the city defense team arrived, the group of drow commandos were all wiped out.

   "These **** black-skinned bastards."

  The captain of the defense looked at the corpses on the ground with a livid face, unable to restrain his anger. The drow elves' raids never left anyone alive. It was the same this time. Nearly half of the staff and guests in the Black Oak were killed by the drow, and those who survived were basically those who had experienced many battles.

   "It's really strange, this group of black **** rarely come to the ground."

A dwarf carrying a tomahawk frowned and stroked his beard - he was also one of the guests of this inn, and just now he smashed a hapless drow with his ax. skull.

   "These fallen people will never appear on the surface easily. When they come here, they must have a plan."

   Standing next to the dwarf was an elf ranger. The latter's delicate brows were tightly frowned, and his face was serious——the elves and the drow were deadly rivals no matter what.

   "Could it be aimed at you? Thin bamboo pole?"

   "I don't think I have the value of being attacked by a whole drow commando, but this is indeed a very weird thing."

   Facing the dwarf's joke, the elf ranger shook his head.

   "Besides, what we killed were only stragglers. Someone wiped out the main force of these fallen people, otherwise things might be more troublesome."

   "You mean that?"

  The captain of the guard turned his head and looked at the end of the corridor not far away with a bit of disgust—where the corpses of several drow were lying on the ground. However, their appearance is very strange. The muscles and bones of these drow elves have melted, and it looks like a wax figure that has been burned and turned into a group of "meat balls", and their expressions are even more weird ——Half of their faces showed a kind of intoxicated smile, as if immersed in supreme happiness, while the other half of their faces showed a twisted, horrified and weird fear.

   These two expressions appearing on a melted face at the same time, just seeing it makes people feel sick.

   "Gods, I've never seen such a weird guy die."

  The dwarf also glanced over there, then retracted his gaze and shuddered.

  "Although I don't know what these guys went through, my intuition tells me that they must have been in great pain before they died. It shouldn't be the work of those mages."

   "Unfortunately, I don't think there is any spell that can cause such an effect."

   At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a white robe and holding a staff came down the stairs. He came to the pile of corpses with great interest and began to observe carefully.

   "It does look like it has been attacked by some kind of illusion. Seeing that illusion can only attack the spirit and not affect the body, I don't remember any spell that can make a creature's body become so..."

  While speaking, the mage stretched out his staff and stirred it on the other party's body—the dark elf's corpse wriggled like fermented dough.

   "...so weird."

   "Hey, do you mages always make these weird things?"

  Hearing the disgusting sound, the dwarf immediately protested, while the mage spread his hands.

   "I said, this is not done by magic, maybe the elves will think about it?"

   "I don't know much..."

  The elf ranger looked at the pile of half-melted corpses in disgust.

  "I only know that the evil gods they believe in will indeed send some kind of punishment when the drow doesn't please her, but generally it seems to be related to spiders..."

   "Ah, so maybe that guy has a hobby of making human dough now."

   The dwarf muttered.

   "I don't think so, they are the main force, and judging from the current position, they seem to be planning to attack someone. Maybe the drows found their prey, attacked the prey, and then were wiped out by the other party..."

   "So who could have done it?"

   Facing the quarrel between the elf ranger and dwarf warrior, Duanmuhuai yawned.

   "Maybe it's a handsome well-meaning person who passed by and didn't leave his name?"

Kasim and Luoxia stood by the side blankly, a bit unable to get into the conversation. Even if they were the heroes who saved Neverwinter, they were just rookies who had just started their adventures. Fortunately, the Dark Elf's attack was a step slower It was discovered by them, so the two of them will stand here instead of being corpses lying on the ground ready to be moved out.

  As for Emilia, she knelt there and prayed for the corpses of the innocent victims, asking for their souls to be at peace soon, and did not join this boring discussion.

  Everyone discussed for a while, but they didn't come up with any useful opinions. Even Duanmuhuai didn't know why these drows came to the surface when they were idle. He did know that drow had a tradition of attacking elf communities on the surface, but they were usually in the deep mountains and old forests, and drow would never go to Waterdeep City to make troubles in his free time... Anyway, it should have nothing to do with him.

No useful evidence was found from the bodies of the drows. The drows would never foolishly write mission objectives on paper. The captain of the guard searched and questioned everyone present, but found nothing in the end. He left angrily—it just happened that he encountered such a thing on the night he was on duty, and the captain of the guard could even foresee the tragic fate he would face next.

   At the same time, the hotel owner also rushed over, looking at the dilapidated hotel in front of him, he was about to pass out. As an apology, he announced that all the customers present would be free of charge, and at the same time, he said that the hotel would be closed for maintenance and rectification - of course, the hotel owner would not go to the Underdark to seek compensation from drow, which could almost be regarded as a pure loss.

  The Black Oak attack immediately became the headline news of the day. When Duanmuhuai and the others were having breakfast in a nearby tavern, they could hear many people discussing it.

   “Big cities are horrible.”

  Kasim said with emotion while drinking the soup.

   "When I was in Neverwinter, I never thought I would be attacked in a hotel."

  "Generally speaking, drow rarely go to the ground, let alone a place like Waterdeep City where multiple races gather. They are not a race with a good reputation."

  Duanmuhuai patted the small head of Augis next to him, and said.

   "But I didn't expect that group of drow elves to be so cruel. They didn't even spare the children of the helpers..."

   Emilia clenched her fists tightly. To be honest, looking at the bread in front of her, she couldn't eat any of it.

"Otherwise? Do you think the bad reputation of the drow is made up out of thin air? They are not kind people. Basically, when you meet a drow, you will chop it off without saying a word. One hundred times out of a hundred You won't kill a good guy."

   Duanmuhuai sneered, then he looked at Kasim and Luoxia.

"You must also remember that this is the style of action of the drow elves. This is still the surface, and they have no resistance to sunlight. But when we reach the Underdark, then it will be the home court of the dark elves. At that time, what you have to face But it’s the 24/7 uninterrupted attacks and assassinations of this intensity.”

"No way………"

  Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Luo Xia's complexion changed drastically, and Kasim was not much better.

   "This is the Underdark, otherwise you thought it was an outing? If it were really that simple, then those adventurers wouldn't be unable to come back."

The drow's attack can be regarded as the first time for this group of rookies on the surface to experience the horror and cruelty of the Underdark Region. Except for Duanmuhuai and Augis, the other three did not get too much in the battle with the drow elves. There are so many benefits, it can be said that they have exhausted all their efforts to barely deal with the enemies they are facing.

   But what they are facing is only the leftovers of the Drow Raiders.

  However, there are still many such enemies underground...

   But no one backed down. Although the atmosphere on the table was a bit dignified during breakfast, after the meal, Kasim, Roxia, and Emilia all went to purchase items and started preparations for going underground.

   "A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger."

   Sitting on a chair, holding a cup of honey tea in his hand, Duanmuhuai shook his head. In fact, he really hopes that they can retreat now, but it's a pity that these people obviously won't give up so easily. Young, hot-blooded, reckless -- well, it's not a bad thing.

but………

   "Okay, Augis, it's time for us to go too."

   Duanmu Huai stood up.

He doesn't intend to continue to act with them anymore, especially after experiencing his "triple killer move", Duanmuhuai can't wait to go deep into the dark area to have a good time killing, so as to increase his own experience points, good Upgrade [God of Pleasure] and [Old God Will] as soon as possible.

  And if you let them follow you, it will be difficult to let go. Especially Emilia, a paladin, who knows if she will say something troublesome to herself.

so………

   "It's time for a happy outing, let's go."

  Duanmuhuai lowered his head and said to Augis, who also put down the book in his arms, and then climbed onto Duanmuhuai's shoulder familiarly. Then Duanmuhuai just glanced at the street, turned and walked to the other side - unlike others, he knew the situation of Deep Water City very well, and he also knew the entrance to the dark area, so even if Duanmuhuai was alone, It is also impossible to encounter any danger.

  As for the task of taking care of the rookie, I'd better hire someone else.
