Arad's Sword

Chapter 439 The Scorpion of Death
The Death Scorpions family is located on the north side of Menzoberranzan City.

As the first family that has survived for thousands of years in the city council, it monopolizes the largest cave in Menzoberranzan City.

This cave was several times larger than that of the Tarantula Tribe, and as soon as he entered it, Midi felt that the concentration of dark magic power around him had increased significantly.

The entire city of Menzoberranzan is built on the underground magic vein, and obviously, the cave where the Death Scorpion is located is just above the magic vein, coupled with the restraint and diversion of various magic circles, The concentration of dark magic power here has naturally reached saturation.

It can be said that the death scorpion occupied the best position, and it also took away the magic power that the entire Menzoberranzan city could enjoy. The domineering and unreasonableness of the first family is clearly evident here.

However, today's Midi does not belong to the deprived party, but to the deprived party, so naturally he will not say anything more.

Under the arrangement of the martial arts chief Hawke, Midi lived in a stalagmite outside the cave.

The interior of this hollowed out stalagmite is very huge. It not only has a bedroom, but also a specially opened training room, all of which are exclusively used by Midi.

In addition, there are several dark elf servants outside the stalagmite, who will be there whenever Midi calls.

Most importantly, in the training room, there is even a magic spring!
This is directly connected from the underground magic vein. According to Midi's estimation, as long as you train next to this magic spring, the effect will be twice the result with half the effort, and the speed of level accumulation will be doubled faster than usual!
Although she was a little surprised when she first saw the magic spring, Midi soon calmed down, and it could even be said that she felt a strong crisis.

This is just the treatment of an outsider who has just entered the family. It is conceivable how the real core disciples of the Death Scorpion will be treated.

Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly even more difficult to surpass those elites, stand out, and qualify for the Black Dragon Conference.

"How, are you afraid?" Rotes' slightly teasing voice sounded leisurely in Midi's mind.

"The concentration of this dark magic power is much higher than that of the star ocean in the sea of ​​clouds in the sky. If a dark elf has been bathed in such a concentration of dark magic power since birth, his strength after growth is indeed a bit scary. "Midi replied honestly, without any concealment, but then he showed a confident smile, "However, whether I am afraid or not, for me, the result is the same."

"That's true." The eighth apostle replied approvingly.

He was not approving of Midi's rogue-like answer, but of Midi's mentality.

For Midi, who has a death warrant and has to face a demon viscount above level 70 in just one year, he has no choice at all.

You have to go up, you can go up if you don't go up, you can't enter the Dark Dragon City, and you will only have a dead end after a year.

Therefore, no matter how strong the elites of these big families are in the Underdark, they are all the same to Midi.

He must overcome them.

However, although this is true in theory, how difficult is it to really take this step calmly?
Midi did just that.

That's why the eighth apostle, Rotes, expressed his approval.

Perhaps, not only can I successfully reincarnate with the help of this kid, but in the process, I might also witness the birth of a real miracle.

The former supreme powerhouse couldn't help but think so.

As for Midi, since he had peeked into the background of the Death Scorpion through his room, he didn't even want to waste a minute.

There is still one month before the selection of Menzoberranzan fighters. During this period, he must find a way to get into the sight of the higher-ups so that he can get a recommended spot.

It was undoubtedly difficult, but Midi had to try.

Once successful, Midi will be able to gain more initiative by avoiding the long trials in full view.

After settling in the stalagmite room, Midi immediately left the room non-stop, asked a servant for directions, and rushed to the family mission hall in the center of the cave.

However, just a few steps away, Midi met his only acquaintance, the martial arts chief Hawke.

"Middy, where are you going?" Hawke was taken aback looking at Midi who was in a hurry.

"Go to the mission hall, the one you told me about before." Midi replied directly without hiding anything.

"Mission Hall?" In the eyes of the Martial Skill Chief, the element of surprise not only did not decrease, but increased instead.

You know, along the way, as Midi's inviter, he has already revealed some basic rules of the Death Scorpion family.

As a strong man who is qualified to participate in the selection of Menzoberranzan fighters, even if Midi does nothing, the Death Scorpion, which is extremely generous, will still provide enough resources for it to use.

Of course, this resource is definitely much less than that of the core disciples, but whether it is the magic spring in the room, or the various medicines, materials, etc. that will be provided next, put them outside, they are all ordinary warriors To grab the head.

Even if Midi thinks it's not enough, then we have to wait until these resources are used up first, right?
On the first day of this bonfire party, at least have to rest, right?

But Hawke didn't expect that the other party would rush directly to the family's mission hall as soon as he put down his luggage.

What exactly does he want to do?
The Martial Skill Chief felt that he was a little confused.

"I want to understand the level of the family mission first, and by the way, I can also know what level my own strength is here." Midi replied.

"I see." Hawke nodded, but there was a thoughtful look in his eyes. However, he didn't delve into it, but put down the business at hand, and went to the mission hall with Midi.

And along the way, Midi was not polite, and asked straight to the point: "Mr. Hawke, can you introduce to me, who are the warriors recommended by the family?"

"Do you want to know this? Well, let me explain it to you in detail." Hawke gave Midi a meaningful look, and then patiently began to explain.

The Death Scorpion family is extremely large, with a total population of over [-], more than five times that of the Tarantula tribe.

And for such a huge family, it is naturally impossible to divide it into simple "warrior" and "warrior".

The armed forces of the Death Scorpions are divided into five different levels.

The bottom ones are warriors, the main members of the Death Scorpion family's legion. They usually carry out various tasks outside. When necessary, they will gather into an army and attack the family's enemies.

Next, there are guards. Their rank is higher than that of fighters, and they have also undergone certain tests. They are responsible for the safety of the cave and the protection of important people.

After that, there is the real elite class - the warriors.

There are a total of one hundred warriors in the Death Scorpion family. They are not only fighters, but also enjoy many privileges.

Most of these warriors are selected from the young and backward members of the family, and they are mainly prepared for the Black Dragon Conference, so they are characterized by their relatively young age and great potential, and they usually serve as guards and soldiers in family wars Commander to earn merit.

And above the warriors is the level of "martial arts chief". There are only three people in total, which is equivalent to three real commanders.

Above the chief of martial arts, is the chief warrior of the Death Scorpion. In other words, the powerhouse who stands at the top of the Death Scorpion has power second only to the family patriarch, and can directly ignore the orders of the family's senior leaders and elders.

And now, the chief warrior of the Death Scorpion has a terrifying level of 67!
"Level 67!" No matter how many cards Midi has in his cards, his brows are still tangled at the moment.

With a gap of five levels, unless Rotes makes a move, there is no chance of winning.

But after seeing Midi's bitter face, the martial arts chief Hawke laughed loudly: "Don't worry, whether it's a martial arts chief like us or a chief warrior, they won't take up the recommendation quota, let alone Participating in the selection of fighters, of course, will not enter the Crystal Dragon Castle, or the Black Dragon Conference."

"Won't you participate?" Midi's eyes showed uncontrollable surprise.

"Because there are restrictions in the Dark Dragon City and these dragon castles." Hawke restrained his smile before saying seriously.

Not everyone can enter the Dark Dragon City.

In addition to the selection in the dark elf society, there are also many restrictions in Dragon City itself.

The two most important ones are that you must be under 30 years old, and at the same time, a person can only enter once in a lifetime.

While learning about these two conditions, Midi felt as if he had heard the voice of the founder of the Dark Dragon City——

Only the true geniuses who have the most talent and potential, and at the same time are the most intelligent, able to cope with all kinds of emergencies, are eligible to enter the Dark Dragon City to obtain my inheritance.

However, this condition seems to be taken for granted.

Otherwise, why bother to screen every five years?
If the Dark Dragon City can be entered without any conditions, then one only needs to let the most powerful dark elves who are nearly level 70 go out and try to explore every corner of the Dragon City.

Anyway, whether it's five years or ten years, there are only a few people who are really at the top.

And with such restrictions, it means that the dark elves have to select geniuses from the younger generation, so that they can be recognized by the Dark Dragon City, and enter it to try to obtain various inheritances.

It can be said that the layer-by-layer selection mechanism of the Black Dragon Conference evolved entirely because of these two conditions.

It seemed that the outermost tribes didn't know the reason behind it, but at the level of the Death Scorpion family, it could be said to be common sense.

As for the additional opening of the Crystal Dragon Castle this time, its restrictions are exactly the same as those of the Dark Dragon City.

Those under the age of 30 must be those who have never entered before.

In other words, because it has the same characteristics and access conditions as the Dark Dragon City, this relic will not be regarded as an ordinary relic, but it is considered to be related to the Dragon City, and then crowned as a relic. In the name of "Dragon Castle".

Martial art chief Hawke also entered the Crystal Dragon Castle in his early years, and was recommended by his family, and then went to compete with the talented elites in the entire Underdark region for the qualification of the Black Dragon Conference.

However, he did not succeed.

But now, Hawk's age has already passed 30 years old, no matter how high the level is, he has already lost his qualifications.

Of course, the same is true for the chief warrior of the Death Scorpion.

The existence of these strong men is not for the Black Dragon Conference, but for the stability and prosperity of the family itself.

Only the hundred warriors were the only geniuses who were truly trained to participate in the Black Dragon Conference.

And among these warriors, those who can get family recommendation and directly become Menzoberranzan fighters are the top five.

They are the "core children of the family" in the true sense.
