Broad World

Uster Nazareth was the first gathering place built by the dark elves retreated from the surface to the gloomy region, and is also known as the first city or the first city. This is a very important symbol in history, representing that they officially broke with the surface elves. The elves were divided into two. Among them, the wife of the main **** Corylon, Erosine, rebelled and changed her name to the spider goddess Rose, and Go to the bottomless abyss to build your own country "the magic net of the pit".

It can be said that since then, the powerful elven empire suppressed on top of all races has completely collapsed, and human civilization has begun to rise strongly, spreading across the entire continent in just a thousand years, and finally forced the elves to retreat to the Yongju Island overseas. , Only a small number of wood elves and moon elves hidden deep in the forest still live in ancient cities.

To a certain extent, Rose and her evil people should be appreciated by other races on the surface, rather than unreasonably discriminated against and guarded. It is precisely because of their rebellion that the elves' vitality is greatly injured, that humans have enough time to study the Netheril scrolls and start a glorious magical civilization, otherwise they would have been suppressed by the extremely powerful elven empire.

Of course, there are also many political factors in this. The reputation of the dark elves is not only related to their erratic behavior, but also to the promotion of surface elves.

Henry had seen a lot of elves or half-elves. As long as they mentioned their underground cousins, these guys would talk for hours without a good word from beginning to end.

You know that many surface elves have been integrated into human society. Just imagine a handsome man or a beautiful woman with an elegant manner, and the same evil race that you have only seen in books. Who would you believe? I am afraid that most people will choose the former without hesitation.

There is a saying that is good, a lie will become the truth if you say it a thousand times. Under the subtle influence of the surface spirits. Most surface residents believe this, and the evil deeds committed by the dark elf commandos from all over the world from time to time, I am afraid that in addition to the truly notorious organization. Most rulers dare not have any relationship with them at all.

The famous ranger Drizzt and his companions wanted to enter the library of Silvermoon City to search for materials during their journey. But he was ruthlessly turned away. Although Alasdro came forward to explain in person, and gave limited help, but this just shows how bad the reputation of the dark elves in the Northland is, and even this fair-minded lady of hope dare not make it public. Acts of acceptance on occasion, for fear of being misunderstood by the rulers of other city-states.

As a traverser, Henry did not look at the dark elves with colored glasses like most people. In his eyes, these guys are just losers in some political struggles, and it is only natural to be discredited. If the conspiracy of Goddess Rose succeeded. Then the current situation will turn around.

History is written by victors, and this is an unchanging truth through the ages. In all the books recorded by the elves, the dark elves are exactly described as the incarnation of evil and greed, the chief culprit in killing their fellow citizens.

But in fact, they are just fighting for more interests for themselves, just like the European era of navigation, they use the army to occupy more markets and keep their trade from being spied by others. Could this also be said to be evil? In this case, I am afraid that all countries on the earth are truly evil countries, and billions of people should all be killed.

Obviously, the evil and twisted behaviors of the dark elves were formed little by little after entering the dark region. Before that, they were just a group of normal elves. It's just that he stood on the wrong team in a fierce political storm.

After a long journey for more than a day, the caravan finally arrived in the city of Uster. It has to be said that the Dark Elf's entrance inspection is very strict. From the beginning of entering the city's periphery, there will be a wave of patrols almost every ten minutes or so. The goods on the car have been checked over and over ten times before being allowed to pass through the huge gate made of fine gold.

"Damn! These **** are really greedy, I just squeezed a full 100 gold coins before letting them go." Caravan leader Carrig cursed with a painful expression on his face.

No way, if you want to do business in the dark elf city, you must be psychologically prepared for this. They will use various means to take advantage of it, and some unlucky ones will even go bankrupt. However, there are a lot of magic items that can be purchased here, so even if you know that you will suffer a very large loss. There will still be a steady stream of caravans coming.

"Don't worry, dear Mr. Employer. I believe you can make a hundred times more profit than this." Henry smiled and said meaningfully.

Carrig laughed and nodded: "Hahahaha! That's right, I will definitely make a fortune. Let's go Nimes. Let me take you to the market at the entrance to pick two weapons in hand, by the way. Sell ​​some goods."

Although this was not the first time to enter the dark elf city, Henry couldn't help but be attracted by the strange sights here. Uster Nassar is a building built on top of countless super-giant stalagmites. The platform and the platform are connected by stone bridges. Many residents and warriors walked around, including several huge spiders.

It can be said that this is a city in the sky built underground. Below the stalagmites is a dark abyss with no end in sight. I don't know how deep it is. Anyway, Henry quietly threw a small stone down, and there was no bottoming sound at all.

"It's really a good place to kill people and destroy corpses." Henry sighed secretly in his heart.

In his opinion, this is simply a place designed for conspiracy and trickery. You don't even need to kill people yourself. As long as you push it hard, there is no possibility of survival for anyone except the wizard with flying ability.

Just as the caravan just entered the market platform, suddenly there was a "pop" not far in front, followed by another scream. I saw a gray dwarf with a slave mark on his cheek lying on the ground, next to a collapsed shelf.

"These are precious commodities, you idiot! Be careful!" The dark elf warrior cursed loudly while waving his whip.

"Please, Master! I haven't eaten anything for almost a week..." The gray dwarf knelt on the ground and pleaded bitterly.

The iliac bones on his face are raised and the eye sockets are deeply sunken. At first glance, it is the malnutrition caused by the long-term lack of food, especially his hands are still trembling, it looks extremely miserable, even if it is a little sympathetic. The heart-minded people will not hesitate to give a little food.

But unfortunately, the owner of this guy is a dark elf, one of the few races in the entire multiverse that can be as famous as the abyss demon. He directly drew out his weapon and sneered: "Humph! Stop talking nonsense! Anyway, you are of little use."

As soon as the voice fell, all the onlookers saw a flash of cold light, and the poor gray dwarf became a headless corpse, and his head was kicked off the platform as a ball.

"Hahahahaha! Well done, you should be tougher when dealing with those lowly slaves!"

"That's right! Slaves can't work and what are they left for!"

...

All of a sudden, the dark elves onlookers applauded, and the atmosphere suddenly became warm. They vented the depressive emotions they had accumulated to their heart's content, and they kept talking loudly, as if they couldn't wait for them to act just now.

Henry stood with the caravan, watching the farce coldly. He didn't feel at all about the death of the gray dwarf slave. This is a world where the weak eat the strong, and the weak can only survive under the mercy of the strong. Just like birds eat insects, carnivores eat herbivores, if they want to control their own destiny, they must desperately become stronger, jump out of the board and become a chess player, even the weakest one.

It may sound cruel, but this is the truth. Regarding this, it is the same even on earth. People with money and power always have privileges. The law is a plaything in their hands. When they need it, they pick it up and publicize the supremacy of the law. Everyone must strictly abide by the law. When they don’t need it, a sentence of jurisprudence is nothing but favor Just let it go.

As a person who believes in neutrality, Henry never feels that there is anything to make a fuss about. He doesn't want to be a weak person and tries his best to climb up, complaining that he can't solve any problems at all.

He now undoubtedly has enough power to become one of the many chess players in this world. He has long looked at things from the perspective of good and evil, pointing directly to the essence hidden inside the surface phenomenon.

Even if the gray dwarf is saved, Uster Nassar can be said to be full of danger, and a malnourished gray dwarf may be killed at any time. Of course, he can also choose to leave the city, but that means facing a worse living environment, endless monsters, and maybe die faster and more painful.

In many cases, it is this kind of situation that is kindly said to be wrong~www.ltnovel.com~ Therefore, Henry is more willing to be a bystander than to get involved rashly when he can't guarantee to help people to the end.

For him, letting reason overwhelm feelings is more important than anything else. Only when reason has the upper hand can people make correct judgments. Otherwise, they will become an impulsive fool who will be manipulated by others.

On this point, Aberdare is the best negative teaching material. He is a person who makes judgments based on emotions and intuitions from the beginning to the end. He has been played around by the enemy from beginning to end. If Henry had not joined him, I am afraid that the current adventure partner would not only die of Danahei and Khalid. Personally.

As one of the highest casters on the main plane, Henry undoubtedly has the right to change the fate of others. But owning is one thing, using is another. Those who have nothing to do with their own interests, he will never even look at them, even if the other party behaves poorly and deserves sympathy, it is useless.

This is the path of absolute neutrality. If you look coldly at the world, whether it’s tragedy or comedy, don’t worry about it as long as you have contact with yourself. Many druids follow this philosophy and maintain the delicate balance between goodness and evil, lawfulness and chaos in the world...to be continued
