In a dark secret room.
The atmosphere between the few shadows was somewhat stifling.
A moment later, the deep voice that seemed to be the leader sighed:
"So … these elves didn't have any conflict with the Church of Death at all. Instead, there are faint signs of cooperation with them?"
"That's right."
The hoarse voice replied:
"Let's not talk about whether these elves have anything to do with the evil gods. Although their combat strength seems to be very impressive, it seems that they are really only here to do business …"
"That is to say, our secret provocations have all failed?"
"That's right. Even if we used the elven slave trade that the elves hate the most to provoke them, it didn't arouse their anger. Instead, it caused the few members who secretly supported us to go bankrupt …"
"…"
"Bahrain, I heard that they even started selling elves themselves?"
The deep voice asked another person.
"That's right. However, those elves who were sold were very courageous. They all committed suicide."
The old voice replied.
"I see …"
The deep voice was somewhat surprised.
However, he quickly let out a sneer:
"They even sell their own people. It seems that they have also fallen … Caravans, mercenaries … Heh heh. However, perhaps this is also a good thing!"
"What do you think, High Priest?"
The deep voice didn't answer directly. Instead, he asked:
"I heard that … the higher-ups of these elves have also entered Black Rock City?"
"That's right. I've already inquired. These elves are actually formed by three elven mercenary groups and chambers of commerce. Their leaders have all come to Black Rock City."
"If that's the case, invite them all over."
The deep voice said.
"Invite them over?"
The other two voices were stunned.
"Heh heh. After listening to your reports over the past few days, I can see that. These elves seem friendly, but in reality, they only have interests in their eyes. For some money, they can even buy and sell their own people. If that's the case … why can't we rope them in and use them for our own purposes? "
…
Black Rock City, which was also the dwarven city in the underground caverns.
Salty Meow walked on the bustling streets and looked at everything curiously.
She had just represented the Mengmeng Committee and signed a business deal with the dwarves under the witness of the Church of Death. She was very happy in her heart.
Under the acceleration of magic, the "Mengmeng Committee" had accumulated a lot of wheat, rice, and potatoes these days, and it was impossible to eat them all. However, the discovery of the dwarf force made her see a business opportunity.
The Dwarf Tribe lacked food, but they were rich in ores and magic stones, which were exactly what the Elven Forest lacked.
Ores could be smelted into metals, which could then be used to forge equipment. Magic Stones, on the other hand, could not only be used as a source of energy for teleportation portals, but they could also be used to assist players in their meditation training.
Although there were still mineral deposits in the depths of Rivendell, it was not suitable for mining.
Of course, the main reason was that the players didn't have the technology and manpower to do so.
Mining was a technical job, and it took a lot of effort. Not to mention, processing was troublesome … Therefore, even if the players could find some knowledge on Bluestar, it would not be of much use to them.
Unless … they had more manpower in the future and the help of the Crypt Spiders.
Unfortunately, the Queen of Spiders, Lolth, did not have a good impression of the players, and no one was able to hire her. There were many things that the players could do in the game, and mining was not worth the effort, so no one was willing to do it.
Therefore, after discovering that the Dwarves were good at mining and smelting, the players turned their attention to the Dwarves.
Using the crops they planted to trade with the Dwarves for the metals, ores, and magic stones that the Dwarves had smelted, it was a win-win situation!
This time, it was the cooperation of the three major guilds, and with the help of Demacia, who was the best at bluffing, they finally reached a business agreement with the Underworld's Dark Dwarves.
After reaching an agreement, Little Salty Meow was overjoyed and began to wander around Black Rock City.
This was the second time she had come to Black Rock City. Since a week ago, the players had opened up a new map here, and quickly became friends with the Dwarves.
The Underworld's Dark Forest had become a new place for the players to hunt magical beasts, and Black Rock City had become a transit point for the players to replenish their supplies and rest.
Although there were occasional conflicts outside the city, both sides got along well within the city.
Of course, another reason was the strength and sincerity that the players had shown. Until now … the Dwarves still did not know the true origin of the Elves.
They only knew that the players came from above ground, from Rivendell's direction, and seemed to believe in a mysterious True God called Eve. They were also surprised that the players had bypassed the giant spider.
However … there were also some Dwarves who suspected that the True God that the players spoke of was actually a false god. After all … no one in the Continent of Segers had ever heard of the name Eve.
However, as a member of the chaotic Underworld, the Dwarves did not care about the Elves' beliefs.
In fact, most of the Dwarves themselves did not value their beliefs, and most of the residents of Black Rock City were only shallow believers of the God of Death.
It was not that there were no players who boasted that they had subdued the Queen of Spiders, Lolth, but the Dwarves did not believe them.
Subduing the Queen of Crypt Spiders?
That was an existence close to legendary!
And any further explanation would involve the Goddess …
Salty Meow shook her head, and continued to stroll around Black Rock City.
Black Rock City was huge. Although the population was less than ten thousand, it was not small. Moreover, from the appearance of the city's buildings, it was estimated that this place had a long history, at least a few hundred years.
While she was having fun by herself, a short figure suddenly blocked her path.
It was a Dwarf wearing a dark grey robe, and his expression could not be seen clearly. When he noticed Salty Meow's puzzled gaze, he bowed slightly to her.
"Respected Elven Lady, good evening."
Good evening?
Little Salty Meow subconsciously raised its head to look at the sky.
Above her head, only the fluorescent stones embedded in the walls of the cave sparkled. The entire underground world was always so dark and serene. She did not know how these Dwarves could tell the difference between day and night …
"Hello …"
She replied curiously, but at the same time, her heart was filled with vigilance and curiosity.
Could it be … that she had also met a Dwarf slave trader?
However, didn't these guys stop appearing after those guys on the forum started committing suicide to cheat money?
She was puzzled.
Salty Meow looked around and found that she was in a secluded alley, and there was almost no one around.
In an instant, she became even more vigilant.
Just as Salty Meow was hesitating whether to call out to the other guild members, the mysterious Dwarf spoke again.
"Elven Lady, are you the leader of the Elven Mercenary Group? It's like this, my master admires the bravery of the Elven Mercenary Group, and wants to make a deal with you … "
"A deal?"
Salty Meow was slightly taken aback.
Then, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Wait a minute …
Could it be that she was about to encounter a hidden mission?
This chapter is rather short, I need to sort out the plot. Two days ago, I did not manage to control the pace of the plot, and in a rush, I messed up the pace. I also saw everyone's chapter, and I'm very sorry.
