Chapter 1004 Tradeoffs in Smuggling

The next step is to teach Drizzt skills. Drizzt is now 7 years old (actual age), this time the teaching has not changed from the last time, and he can still only teach Drizzt rare-level general skills and rare-level professional skills , the types of skills that can be taught need to exclude physical attack skills and shield skills.It's normal that shield skills can't be taught, because Drizzt doesn't hold a shield.

Yun Xiaohan thought for a while, and taught [Arcane Concentration], which is a rare professional skill, just right.

Drizzt will learn it as soon as he teaches it, because [Arcane Concentration] requires [Concentration Skill] as a prerequisite, and Drizzt also automatically comprehended [Concentration Skill].

At present, Yun Xiaohan has taught Drizzt 6 skills: [Great Power], [Wind Speed], [Burning Roar], [Summoning Qi Elements], [Superior Body], and [Arcane Concentration].

In the process of learning skills, Drizzt himself comprehended the seven skills of [Concentration Skill], [Lightning Ball], [Lightning Strike], [Wind Arrow], [Parry], [Defensive Stance], and [Battle Cry]. [Mana Mastery] and [Endurance Mastery], he should already have the two skills, otherwise he wouldn't be able to learn the skills.

After the goods were traded, Yun Xiaohan and the others were about to leave, when the third daughter Werna Do'Urden suddenly called Yun Xiaohan to stop.

"Our trade has attracted the attention of other families in Menzoberranzan City. Recently, more than a dozen spies and assassins who have been investigating the camp here have been discovered. Although these people have been captured or killed by us, the camp has also strengthened its vigilance. But since it was discovered a bit late, and the camp is so big, there may be fish that slipped through the net, so please pay attention, so that nothing happens." Werner reminded, and then added, "It's best not to keep anything live."

From this passage, we know that although Verna reminded Yun Xiaohan, she didn't feel that these spies and assassins could pose any threat to Yun Xiaohan's team. After all, in the minds of important members of the Do'Urden family, Yun Xiaohan Han's strength is very strong, and although his team is small in number, its combat power is equally strong, and it is impossible for too many enemies to sneak in, so they are not worried about the safety of Yun Xiaohan's team, just to be cautious And to avoid misunderstanding, first remind Yun Xiaohan.

This smuggling trade is still very important to the Do'Urden family.Menzoberranzan City is a medium-sized city with a population of 60. There are about 6 dark elves in Menzoberranzan City, and there are about 2500 nobles. There are now 133 recognized families, and the rest are civilian fighters.Although the Do'Urden family is the ninth family, its actual strength may even reach the seventh or eighth position, but the total number of people in the family is only around 2.

Even though the Dark Elf family is almost entirely composed of combatants, their combat power is far stronger than that of the Viscount of Corsica, which is dominated by non-combatant civilians, but its size is still far inferior to that of Yun Xiaohan, who has three cities. You must know that Yun Xiao The total population of the three Han territories has exceeded 13.

And it is precisely because there are not many production personnel in the dark elf family that their economy is poor and they attach importance to this smuggling trade route.Moreover, many of the items on the ground that the Do'Urden family smuggled were given out as gifts, which greatly expanded the Do'Urden family's contacts.

It can be said that the current Do'Urden family is much stronger than the Do'Urden family in the normal plot.

Although the Do'Urden family in the normal plot gained a lot of prisoners and a lot of money after eliminating the Defoe family, their own losses were not small. They also spent a lot of money in order to complete the raid and extermination operation, because various The dark elf family's financial situation is not very rich, and they may have made a little money in terms of personnel, but they have definitely lost a lot of money.

In addition, the position of the Ninth Family is a bit embarrassing, only one rank away from joining the city's ruling council. The action of the Do'Urden Family to eliminate the Defoe Family has aroused the fear of other families, so the relationship with other families is very bad.

In this case, the Do'Urden family is actually quite embarrassed despite their appearance.The emergence of Yun Xiaohan and the smuggling trade just solved the two key problems of economy and connections. The Do'Urden family even used the opportunity of buying items on the ground and buying crystals to expand the family's tentacles to other Underdark towns.

Look at the failure costs exposed by the smuggling trade.

Although the dark elf society is a theocratic society, Rose, the Spider Queen, will not really appear in the game. It will only reduce the power of divine magic and will not directly attack a certain dark elf family.

The Spider Queen likes plotting, scheming, and murder. She supports any dark elf to plot or kill his own kind, but she will not forgive large groups of dark elves for large-scale battles, because the power of the group is a kind of consumption and loss.However, the Spider God Queen recognized those large-scale attacks that had a perfect plan, were neat, and instantly gained an overwhelming advantage.

But there will be no extra rewards for this kind of action, it can only be regarded as equalizing merits and demerits, or even a little too much, which is why the Do'Urden family sacrificed important male members of the family after completing the genocide, precisely for the sake of Seek forgiveness and understanding from the Spider Queen.

The Spider Queen expects her people to rule the entire Underdark and destroy all weak enemies within the group's conquest.I also hope to be able to invade the surface, but it is very low in priority.

The main enemy of the Spider Queen is the elf god Corellon Larethian, and then the land of the elves on the surface, but she has no particularly strong hostility towards the human kingdom. This can be seen from the target of the sacrifice. It is impossible to get the favor of the Spider God Queen, and only by sacrificing important elf nobles can you get the favor.

So the Spider Queen doesn't forbid trade with the Earth races, she just wants to see more killing.What prohibits trade is actually an unspoken rule among dark elf families. Other families will feel that this dark elf family that trades with surface races is not the same as themselves.

But after all, these are unspoken rules, not express laws, and the dark elves and the human kingdom have not fought, at most, it can only be regarded as a border conflict. Neither side regards the other as a real enemy, and it is more due to racial differences and public opinion. resulting in vigilance and hostility.Humans think that dark elves are cruel and bloodthirsty, but dark elves think that human beings are greedy and warlike, and human beings were slaves in the era when high elves dominated, so dark elves still think that human beings are inferior to them and disdain to trade with humans.

Therefore, the smuggling trade was exposed, and the Do'Urden family would only be ostracized and attacked by other families, cutting off economic ties, but there would be no fundamental danger.
