Chapter 487 The Underdark Area
It turns out there is another meaning.

Li Zhongren looked at the giant quietly. Of course, he did not feel soft-hearted because of the other party's words.

Anyone who can make a living here can't be a white lotus.

Moreover, even if no one introduced the other party's abilities to him, he could get a general idea of ​​them at a glance.

By assimilating other people in some way, these assimilated people will become his blood packs and can even strengthen him. Of course, this strengthening must be temporary. Otherwise, he doesn't have to wait until all these people are dead before using this trick. Wouldn't it be better to merge directly?
Besides, as he said before, he actually doesn't have much sense of involvement in this world. He doesn't really care who is right or wrong. Anyway, as long as you don't provoke him, there will be tall people to hold up the sky if it falls.

He only heard one meaning from these words. It turned out that this entire underground water pipeline system was actually an oversized farm.

Thinking of this, Li Zhongren secretly became cautious.

You can't believe it completely, but you can't not believe it either.

If this really is an oversized breeding farm, then we can only say that the Waterdeep School of Magic is playing within the rules. You entered the underground voluntarily, and you caused damage on your own initiative. We sent people to clear it out, which is reasonable and legal. Finally, we use you for research, which is also a waste utilization.

No one could find any fault with it.

But if you think about it carefully, Waterdeep School of Magic may be more terrifying than the Red Wizard Tower. This is a kind of exploitation that is subtle and silent.

So, you have to be careful, so that you don’t end up being sold out by others and having to count their money.

However, the probability of this happening is actually very low.

After all, Waterdeep is currently a trade hub with an enormous amount of wealth. If anything, the other eleven councillors cannot indulge the academy of magic.

As for the guy in front of me
If the other party refuses to surrender, his only recourse is to use the silencing bomb. However, he does not want to reveal his trump card in such a place, and will definitely use it when he encounters danger.

For example.
Li Zhongren slowly turned his body and looked at the three people in the distance.

Three people hidden under cloaks.

Just now, they had been hiding in the dark. If it weren't for his explosion that forced them out, even he wouldn't have noticed that there were people there.

"You want to save people?"

"No, we just want to get some information out of him."

The leading sunlight elf said calmly.

"We have no intention of being your enemy. We came here just to search for intelligence."

"Ha ha ha ha.."

"Dark Moon Magic, you guys are Daylight Elves, right? For that chick?"

The man lying on the ground, ready to die at any time, opened his eyes immediately after hearing these words. He knew that he might be able to survive by relying on this.
"Have you met her?"

Hearing what the man lying on the ground said, the leading sunlight elf appeared directly in front of him, even taking off his cloak. In an instant, the light illuminated the dark basement.
"The Sunlight Elf is worthy of its reputation."

Not far away, Li Zhongren watched this scene and sighed secretly.

As the royal family among the elves, the daylight elves rarely leave their forest court.

I heard there are two reasons.

First, as a former loser, the proud daylight elf cannot accept this kind of failure, so he stays at home.

The second reason is that the Sunlight Elves themselves are also high-value goods. Anyone who has ever been involved in the slave trade knows that the most popular creatures on the market are the Sunlight Elves.
Of course, this is just hearsay, and Li Zhongren doesn't know the details.

"If you save my life, I will tell you. Otherwise, you will never find any clues."

"it is good."

The leading sunlight elf nodded, then turned and looked at Li Zhongren.

"Sir, I wonder what price we need to pay in order for you to hand it over to us?"

"do not know."

Li Zhongren shrugged.

"That side just wants me to capture him alive, and the reward will be calculated based on his strength range."

"so."

The leading sunlight elf pondered for a moment.

"How about a sunstone?"

"Can you give me a detailed introduction? I don't know much about it."

"Fuck, where did you come from, you know nothing, how do you have such strength?"

The man lying on the ground couldn't help but curse.

It was this sentence that made the Sunlight Elf stunned. The number of masters would not change easily. This guy who didn't even know what the sunstone was suddenly reminded of the boy in the bar a few days ago.

Looking at their heights again, they are exactly the same. The reason I didn't notice it before was because the other person's voice was changed by the mask.
However, he wisely kept silent.

After all, Waterdeep had cleansed the memories of many people for this young man, so there was no need for him to have a conflict with Waterdeep. The elves were no longer the elves they once were, and their former arrogance had long since vanished with the tragic defeat in that decisive battle.
"Sunstone is a kind of crystal produced from the Sunwell in the Elf King's Court."

"It is the highest quality magic material. It can be used as the central point for making any magic equipment. At the same time, it has the highest energy storage ratio. However, the most expensive point of the sunstone is that it can be used for healing."

"In theory, as long as there is enough stock, any venom and any negative effects in this world can be replaced with Sunstone. For example, if these mutants are valuable enough, the Royal Court can indeed provide Sunstone to turn them back into humans."

"Okay, I'll change."

"Thank you. My name is Gawain. What is your name?"

"Li Zhongren."

“It’s a very rare name.”

"hehe."

Li Zhongren smiled, did not answer, and took the stone thrown by the other party.

The stone lives up to its name.

A crystal-clear yellow crystal, round like a bead, with a glow as warm as the sun.
"As expected of a sunlight elf, your words are as sharp as a nail. To be honest, I didn't quite believe you were sunlight elves before."

Putting away the sunstone, Li Zhongren joked.

"why?"

"Because you are not as arrogant as it is written in the books."

"It used to be, but after losing the war to you humans, this pride has no meaning anymore."

"Yes, we'll see each other again."

Li Zhongren didn't waste any words or drag his feet, he just turned around and left.

the reason is simple.

He himself is a man of his word.

What I hate most in this life is people who don’t keep their words.

"and many more."

Suddenly, the Sunlight Elf spoke. "What?"

"I don't know. Do you accept the offer?"

As he spoke, Gawain took out another sunstone, which was also extremely round and it was obvious that it was a pair with the previous one.

"It's like this. You heard what happened just now. That is a secret of our Elven King's Court. We are afraid that the secret will be leaked if you are asked to leave directly. But we have no reason to stop you from leaving. Moreover, if we fight, we may not be able to stop you."

"So I thought, why can't I hire you? Just to keep the secret, the price is still a sunstone."

"This is not good."

Li Zhongren licked his lips. Only those who have touched the sunstone know how good this thing is.

"No problem, besides, I also have my own selfish motives."

"what?"

Looking at Gao Wen, who had a face as beautiful as a woman, Li Zhongren instinctively took a step back. He would not teach a lesson, even if he had such a beautiful face.

"I actually have a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. I have played with these two sunstones for a long time and I can't bear to separate them."

"."
-
"So, you're actually here to look for the princess?"

"Yes."

Gawain sighed, and next to him was the mutant who had lost consciousness, but still had a breath left.

Because Gawain cast some kind of magic on him and extracted his memory.

This guy had indeed seen the princess of the Sunlight Elves, and had gone through a secret passage to a deeper underground area, which was the deepest area of ​​the sewer pipes in Deepwater City. The reason why the location was concentrated here was because the princess had fought here before, and therefore retained a large amount of spiritual consciousness that could only be secreted by the Sunlight Elves.

The so-called spiritual consciousness is actually the light emitted by the sunlight elves.

This thing itself is also a unique kind of energy.

However, Gawain kept his word and did not kill him.

This is the bottom line for the Sunlight Elves.

"And you're just going to leave him here and not care about him?"

"Didn't we fulfill the contract?"

Gawain said with a smile.

"I saved him from your hands, and then read his memory without hurting him. Now the deal is over, I'm leaving here, is that ok?"

"no problem"

Li Zhongren blinked his eyes, looked at Gao Wen, who seemed to be smiling, and then he understood. He waved his hands, shot out several streams of true Qi, and drilled into the man's body again.
Gao Wen had no reaction to this scene.

Li Zhongren guessed that this was the change that took place in the Sunlight Elves after their defeat.

If they were still the same as before, I'm afraid even the royal court would not exist today.

In fact, when humans defeated the solar elves, it was most likely that they took advantage of the solar elves' arrogance. If time could go back today and everyone went back to fight again with their memories, it would be humans who would most likely lose.
Of course, there is one thing, this guy once wanted to capture the elf princess and make her a slave.
In a sense, perhaps this is the more direct reason.

"Boom~~"

In the distance, there was a muffled sound. It was the place where the mutant was. Several true qi gathered together and exploded directly. A gust of wind blew past. This scene made Gawain's pupils shrink. They were already some distance away from there, but they could still feel the power of the explosion. Moreover, there were some methods here that made him feel palpitations.
Of course, what he didn't know was that this was Li Zhongren's first time using the Forbidden Magic Bomb, and the effect was unexpectedly good. It was safe, efficient, and hygienic.
Go this way.

Taking a deep breath, Gawain continued walking in this deep passage. At this moment, the three daylight elves separated again, still using that unique positioning method, allowing them to steadily move deeper.

However, the journey after this point becomes a bit difficult. Along the way, you will encounter various traps, unknown monsters, and people who want to take advantage of you.

But these were all solved by Li Zhongren with one punch.

After all, when you take money from others, you should help them get rid of their troubles.

“It’s really here.”

Finally, the three daylight elves gathered together again.

Because they reached the lowest area of ​​Waterdeep's underground sewers.

A huge circular hole with a diameter of hundreds of meters.

All the sewage from Waterdeep eventually ends up here.

This actually explains why the environment in Waterdeep is so good. It would be strange if such an awesome drainage system wasn't good.

But, to be honest, Li Zhongren also felt that this drainage system might have been designed with the breeding of Gu in mind from the beginning.
The reason is simple, because it is too redundant.
"You mean, your princess fell down here."

"Ah."

Gawain nodded.

"This underground waterway in Waterdeep actually leads to the Underdark. It's a secret, but it's not really a secret."

Underdark is another new term, referring to the underground world of this continent.

Maybe there are supernatural powers in this world, or maybe it is some other reason. In short, on Earth, there is a legend or an inner world in novels, but in this world, there is really an underground world.

The two worlds run parallel to each other.

It is impossible to reach the center of the earth just by digging downwards.

Only through some special places.

These places are artificially created by users of the inner world. Specific holes are created on the surface world under certain specific terrains. These holes are similar to natural portals.

"Then why aren't there any monsters from the Underdark running out here?"

"Because this place is controlled by the mages, it has become a one-way portal for draining the garbage of Waterdeep."

"Fuck. That's awesome."

"Your mission is now complete. After we go to the Underdark, we no longer have to worry about information leaks."

"It's okay. I'll be a good person to the end. Besides, I'm taking your benefits for free, so I'll continue to help you."

In just such a short journey, Li Zhongren had already fallen in love with the Sunlight Elf.

Although you know from a God's perspective that the character of the daylight elves is actually their weakness, who doesn't want to have a daylight elf as a friend?

It's like, people always say they hate the Virgin Mary, but if their friends were Virgin Marys, they would be so happy.

"Thank you."

Gao Wen looked at Li Zhongren, was slightly stunned, and then nodded very solemnly.

"Let's go down."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the four people jumped down without hesitation. In the blink of an eye, they were swallowed by the darkness.

And those who were hiding in the darkness and living underground also quietly retreated.

They had caused quite a stir along the way and many people had died, so they had all come out to see what was going on. Now it seemed that they only wanted to go to the Underdark, so there was nothing more to say, and they could all go back to their own homes.
