"I didn't expect the players to attract the attention of the Dark Dwarves so quickly."
Eve was a little surprised.
However, this also meant that the settlement of the Dark Dwarves was not far from here …
"Looks like the map of the Dark Dwarves might be opened soon."
She thought for a while and turned on the language shielding function for the Fried Tomatoes team. She shielded words related to Yggdrasil and Yggdrasil that could easily expose her true identity.
Although the players had accepted the setting to help the goddess keep her true identity a secret, God knew if there would be players who had lost their minds, so it was better to be cautious.
Of course, the shielding was only the language conversion.
When the players were summoned to the World of Segers, they were still speaking Chinese, but … as the initiator who controlled the connection between the players' consciousness and their bodies, Eve could do something to the players' bodies.
Although the players thought they were speaking Chinese, they would automatically convert to the local language of the World of Segers when they opened their mouths, and vice versa.
This local language was Elvish by default, but the players could also adjust the language system to the common language used between different races in the World of Segers.
For example, when communicating with the Half-Orcs, they would use the common language.
Although the players felt that they were speaking Chinese and felt that the language system created by the game officials was a little strange, they accepted it quite well.
The shielding was actually turning off the "translation" of related words. The players would speak Chinese directly, and the natives would naturally not understand.
Of course, the players could also learn the spelling of the local language. That way, they would be able to write even without the system's language conversion, even if it was shielded …
But … which gamer would be crazy enough to spend so much effort to learn a language that was probably a mess made up by the game officials?
Except for the genius Gugu Bird …
Well, the Mage players who wanted to learn the magic circle would also learn it, but they would mostly learn the runes in the Elvish language and copy them.
In addition to the language function, Eve also shielded the sacrificial magic circle before one of the players was about to draw it, and informed the players through a system notification.
The general idea was that the players had officially entered the underground world, and the sacrificial magic circle was temporarily banned, and it would be removed when they returned to the surface …
There were also believers of the Death God here, and if the players carelessly used the Sacrificial Circle, they would be exposed.
The "First Legion" did not know that part of its language function had just been blocked by the beloved goddess.
Although the sudden appearance of the system notification stating that sacrifices were forbidden underground was a little surprising, it was only a little surprising.
They had already exchanged fire with these ferocious giant scorpions.
These players were all experts in field warfare. Even if the three scorpions were Dark Iron-ranked monsters, they did not panic at all.
After many days of battle, they were no longer the newbies who had just entered the game. They were already familiar with this kind of group fight. It was just that the species of the monster had changed, so they needed to test the opponent's attack mechanism and weakness. It was just a little more troublesome.
The mages quickly prepared their Fireball Spells. With Lolth's experience, they already knew that most of the underground magic beasts had the highest destructive power of fire and light magic.
The melee players surrounded the Giant Scorpion that had been lured over. They roamed around and attacked. After attacking, they retreated and attacked again. Their coordination was perfect.
Even Eve couldn't help but marvel at the rapid improvement of the players …
Actually, it was normal when one thought about it.
To the players, this was just a game. The biggest psychological barrier that the new recruits had to overcome — fear — was already gone.
After that, they could lower their pain level and revive themselves. This had vaguely increased their bravery and fearlessness, as well as their tolerance for mistakes.
Therefore, after dying a few more times, the players' combat skills grew quite quickly.
This also made Eve more and more satisfied. She felt that she was not far away from creating a "Scourge Army" that could make other True Gods tremble.
On the other side, the short existence that had been secretly spying on the players walked along the narrow man-made cave. When it finally walked out of the cave, it actually arrived in front of a small city made of rocks!
The entire small city was made of black rocks. The style was rough, and it looked solemn under the illumination of the fluorescent stones at the top of the underground cave.
Dwarves with dark skin, wearing rough dark brown linen clothes, carried pickaxes or carried goods on their heads. They were coming and going in the small city …
This … was a city of the Dark Dwarves!
The Dark Dwarf, who seemed to be a scout, shuttled through the city. He greeted other Dark Dwarves that he knew in the small city, and without stopping, he came to the most solemn three-story stone building in the center of the small city …
"What? You said you saw a team of Elven mercenaries from the surface? There are hundreds of them? "
In the hall of the stone building, an old Dwarf listened to the scout's report with a stunned expression.
Compared to the common Dark Dwarves, he was short and stout, but he had a long beard. His skin was dark, and there wasn't a single strand of hair on his head.
The old Dwarf looked at the Dwarf scout in front of him, and a hint of speechlessness flashed across his face.
"Copper Hammer, did you drink too much ale? This is the Underdark. Where did the Elves come from? And there are hundreds of them … mercenaries? "
The identity of the Elves was so sensitive. How could they swagger over to be mercenaries? And there were hundreds of them!
Although there were Long Ears who hid their identities and became mercenaries on the continent, that was an exception!
Not to mention … why would the Elves go to the Underdark?
The old Dwarf didn't believe it at all.
"It's true! Grandpa Balin, I definitely didn't see wrong! Pointed ears, very tall, and very good looking. There's no doubt they're Elves! They're over at the Dark Forest! "
The Dwarf scout called Copper Hammer said with a red face.
"Impossible!"
The old Dwarf shook his head.
"The Dark Forest is full of monsters. Although it's close to the entrance to the surface, there's a terrifying spider guarding it. Without us leading the way, the creatures on the surface won't be able to come down."
"It's true! Grandpa Balin! I can swear to the God of Death that I didn't see wrong! It's really a group of Elves! The armor they're wearing is very beautiful, much more exquisite than the ones in the human world. It doesn't feel any worse than our craftsmanship. They're definitely Elves. "
Iron Hammer drew a symbol on his chest that symbolized the God of Death and the Lord of the Underworld.
Swear to the God of Death …
Hearing his words, the old Dwarf was startled, and his expression became more solemn.
In the world of Segers where true gods reigned supreme, swearing to the gods one believed in was the strictest oath. No intelligent creature dared to play tricks on this matter.
"Do they have the same hair color?"
The old Dwarf asked.
"No, they have all kinds of hair color …"
Iron Hammer shook his head.
"Not the same …"
The old Dwarf frowned and let out a sigh of relief.
"In that case, they're not Elven tribes that were forced to migrate underground. Fully armed, could they really be mercenaries? But how did they come down? Why did they come down? "
"If you don't believe me … you can go and take a look. They're fighting with the giant scorpions over there!"
Iron Hammer said again.
Hearing his words, the old Dwarf was slightly startled.
"Fighting with the giant scorpions? How did they get into a fight with those monsters? "
"It seems that an Elf accidentally entered the mushroom forest in the Dark Forest and was eaten by the giant scorpions. Then, the other Elves angrily attacked. It was a fierce fight!"
The old Dwarf was speechless.
"Are they very strong? Legend has it that a thousand years ago, the human Gods and the War God Pantheon put a racial curse on them. Didn't they all fall to the Iron rank? "
He asked again.
Iron Hammer scratched his head.
"I didn't investigate carefully, but I felt that they weren't very strong. They seemed to be low-rank Iron."
The old Dwarf was speechless.
A group of low-rank Iron Elves provoked the high-rank Iron giant scorpions. Were they crazy?
Bahrain admitted that the Elves' silver culture and forging skills were definitely the best in the continent.
Even after a thousand years, the other races in the Segers continent could not surpass them.
Even the Dwarves, who were good at forging, were barely on par with them in terms of ordinary forging. They were slightly worse when it came to higher-level magic equipment.
But civilization was civilization, and forging skills were forging skills. These did not represent the combat power of a race.
Compared to the same level of strength, the Elves were famous for their weak combat power.
Before they fell, the Elves could rely on their higher starting point, better equipment, and strength to crush their opponents. But now was not the same as in the past.
Furthermore … for the sake of one dead clansman, would they sacrifice even more clansmen?
Was it worth it?
No wonder these long-eared Elves were getting worse and worse.
He shook his head, thought for a moment, and said,
"Take me to have a look."
He was very curious about the Elves.
The Dark Dwarves were not easy to deal with, but the Elves were different …
They were a race that was famous in the continent for being naive, stubborn, and gullible. They were also very harmless. If it was really them, the old Dwarf did not mind having a deep conversation. He had always been interested in some of the Elves' manufacturing skills.
Under the lead of Hammer, the old Dwarf Bahrain quickly followed the tunnel to the place where he had been monitoring the players.
As soon as he arrived, Bahrain saw the players fighting the giant scorpions through the small hole in the tunnel.
He had to admit that … the First Legion was very experienced.
The three magical beasts were not their opponents. Even if it was a high-rank Iron one, the First Legion annihilated it at the cost of five players' lives.
Considering that they could not use the Sacrificial Array, the giant scorpions did not seem to have anything good except for their pincers and poisonous stingers.
Therefore, when the players killed the giant scorpions, they set the "Experience gain" to 100% and did not leave any loot. The giant scorpions were drained of their vitality by the "War Sacrifice" and turned into ashes.
Looking at the large amount of Experience gained in the status bar, the players' eyes were filled with eagerness.
The giant scorpions provided a lot of Experience!
There was a reason for this. The living environment of the underground world was much worse than that of the surface world. The magical beasts that could survive here generally had a lot more tenacious vitality.
And Eve's "War Sacrifice" instinct that she gave to the players relied on absorbing life force!
Moreover, the players did not choose to leave any loot this time. Instead, they absorbed 100% of the Experience.
Therefore … it was very normal that the amount of Experience gained was unexpected.
Although five players had died, the players had basically figured out the battle mode of the giant scorpions.
Therefore, they were all excited. Panting heavily, they continued to excitedly lure the monsters and fight …
What the old Dwarf saw was that after the players killed the giant scorpions, they threw a few fireballs into the mushroom forest. They attracted five more giant scorpions and fought with them.
The excitement and anticipation, as well as the uncontrollable joy that could be seen from afar, stunned the old Dwarf.
This group of Elves …
What was going on?
This did not seem like a battle for revenge.
