Stone Abyss City is underground.
So on the edge of the cliff here, there is a spiral downward stone staircase.
At least about three hundred meters high.
Viewed from above, since there is no direct sunlight at noon, it looks pitch black below, with the faint sound of whistling wind.
People who are afraid of heights will probably be frightened when they see this high staircase leading into the abyss.
Next to it, there is a large spiral slide, which is used to 'transport' goods.
The specially made large rune stone box is almost as big as half a container, and the entire cart can be loaded into it.
While loading, some soldiers stole a few pieces of beef jerky and placed them here in the underworld. Only the real nobles could afford to eat these beef jerkies. They sold them and could exchange them for a lot of coarse grains.
In fact, both Roland and Shuke saw the soldier's little move, but neither of them paid attention.
It's just beef jerky, and it's not something valuable to them.
The main purpose this time is to obtain information about the True Ancestor of the Blood Clan and to deal with the True Ancestor. Doing business is just a fool's errand.
The rune stone box was placed on the slide... and then the box slipped down on its own.
A stone card was placed in front of Roland. The team leader just now said with a smile: "Don't worry, it won't break. There is a special magic circle on the stone box. When it approaches the ground, it will slow down on its own. This is your number plate. , then collect your things by number."
"Actually, this box can also be used to carry people." Roland asked.
"Yes." The team leader nodded: "But the human spirit is too mixed, and occasionally it will affect the magic circle on the stone box, making it lose its effect. If you don't slow down after falling, the person will fall into a pulp. Several times. After that, things that emit spiritual power are prohibited from entering the box.”
I see!
Giving the team leader a silver coin, Roland and the others did not go directly up the spiral staircase. Instead, each of them cast a Feather Falling Technique on their bodies and jumped down directly.
Fortunately for a mage like Roland who is used to flying and floating, Shuke himself has the Wings of Light magic and often rides the little dragon girl around, so he is used to high altitudes.
But Li Lin, Rafi and Brazil were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat.
It is difficult for most people to overcome this fear when they first experience the feeling of knowing that they will not fall to death, but they are thousands of feet high in the sky, and they are still slowly falling.
When they were falling, they also saw many people slowly walking down the stairs next to them.
Some were holding on to the handrails of the stairs, panting from exhaustion.
In fact, walking down from a high place consumes a lot of energy.
These people looked at Roland and the other five with envy.
After floating for four minutes, the five people finally landed on the ground.
Roland and Shuke were fine. After landing on the ground, they jumped twice to stretch their bodies.
Li Lin and the other three were slumped on the floor, their faces ashen.
This is a large square. The brown rocky ground is very smooth and cold, as if it reveals the vicissitudes and indifference unique to the underworld.
There were many people of all races passing by in the square. They just glanced at Roland and others and left in a hurry.
Roland went to the side to take out his goods, and immediately attracted the attention of many people on the side of the square.
Because this is the only way to enter the Abyss of Stone, many people stay here to see if there are any opportunities to make money.
The new clothes on Roland's cart, as well as emergency food such as dried meat, immediately attracted all the interested people around him.
These things are all hard currency in the underworld.
At that moment, a dwarf came up. He was only as high as Roland's knees, with a big head and a small body. He looked quite funny.
"Foreign merchants, may I ask, are your goods for sale now?" The dwarf's voice was sharp and thin, a bit like a child: "Here, I have a wide range of connections. With my help, your goods can be sold. It sold for a pretty high price.”
"I want to sell these things to the True Ancestor of the Blood Clan, can you do it?"
"Her Majesty the Queen?" the dwarf was stunned for a moment, and then screamed: "You idiot, the Queen can teleport, she has no shortage of new clothes. She can go to the main plane whenever she wants, come back when she wants, and just go to the toilet. It’s just as simple, does she want something? If you sell it to Her Majesty the Queen, aren’t you a fool?”
"What about Her Majesty the Queen's maids?" Roland pretended to be disappointed.
"This is feasible." The dwarf nodded: "By the way, you can call me Ragnar. Others call me Ragnar, the powerful one. My friend, what is your name?"
"Roland."
Ragna looked at Shuke with his big eyes: "What about this person whose whole body is filled with dazzling light?"
"You can call me Shuke." The overly handsome paladin showed a heart-warming smile.
Such a smile can make many women fall for him at the first sight.
However, the dwarf suddenly covered his eyes, rolled on the ground and screamed: "Ah! You damn holy light, don't smile at me, I'm not a faggot, you're going to blind me. ”
Everyone in F6 was stunned.
The dwarf's scream attracted more people's attention.
Roland and others were a little confused. They gestured to each other with their eyes. With more than ten years of friendship, they quickly understood what the others meant.
This dwarf seems to be playing tricks on one another, taking action as the opportunity arises, enduring it first, and then resisting if things go too far.
However, things did not develop as they expected. The dwarf rolling on the ground suddenly stopped screaming. He stood up again as if nothing had happened, and at the same time patted his old, patched linen clothes: "A Seeing as you just fell from the outside world, I don’t know what your thoughts and plans will be after you sell these things and make a lot of money, but there is one thing you must remember!”
The dwarf stretched out his finger, then looked at Roland steadily and said nothing.
Roland was stunned for a moment, and then he understood. He shook his hand and put a silver coin over.
Taking away the silver coin from Roland's hand at an extremely fast speed, the dwarf continued: "In the Abyss of Ten Thousand Stones, things related to the Goddess of Light can exist, but they cannot be arrogant. Especially the smile like the paladin's just now... cannot be allowed anymore. If you show up, it will be seen as provocation by many people."
Roland frowned: "Why?"
"Because this is the territory of the Vampire Clan." The dwarf said with a matter-of-fact expression: "Back then, the true ancestor of the Vampire Clan, our Queen, was forced to flee from the main plane and come here to develop, wasn't it because of the Light Cult and the Temple of Life? Because of the two sects! Especially the Light Sect, they are their biggest enemy."
"Isn't it dangerous for believers of light to be here?"
"It's not that dangerous." The dwarf explained: "Although this is Her Majesty the Queen's city, in the final analysis, it is the world of Hades. It is said that Hades has a good relationship with the goddess of light. She has been very kind without driving away the vampires. , so the vampires here don’t dare to take the initiative to find trouble with believers of light.”
"Oh..." Roland thought this underworld was quite interesting.
The relationship between various races is complex.
"Of course, if the paladin is too good, he will still be targeted." The dwarf Ragnar stretched out his hand again and said with a smile: "Give me another silver coin, and I will tell you more important news."
A silver coin is not expensive.
Seeing that there was another bright silver round gadget in his hand, the dwarf took back his hand with satisfaction: "Her Majesty the Queen is awake."
"This is not important news, right? The rainbow spanned the sky before." Roland couldn't help but retort.
The dwarf waved his hand: "I only said the first half. You are too impatient. After Her Majesty the Queen wakes up, she needs to eat."
"And then." Roland's eyes lit up when he heard the news about the True Ancestor of the Blood Clan.
"But every time Her Majesty the Queen eats, someone comes to harass her. It hasn't stopped for more than a hundred years." The dwarf sighed.
These words made Roland and the others tense up, and the five of them subconsciously became on guard.
Could it be that the task he received was to act as the person who harassed her while eating
Fortunately, the five of them were also people who had seen big scenes. Although they were wary in their hearts, the expressions on their faces seemed calm and normal.
Roland even asked: "How dare anyone dare to resist the True Ancestor of the Blood Clan?"
"Because the vampires were not very good at sucking blood in the past and did not develop blood coagulation techniques, they often sucked blood slaves to death." The dwarf explained: "For almost a hundred years, the vampires killed many blood slaves. Beautiful virgin. The resentment of these blood slaves' relatives, fiancés, admirers, etc. from generation to generation was added up to form an organization called the 'Vampire Extermination Alliance'. They first killed many vampires, but found out how I couldn’t kill them all, and finally I had an epiphany, thinking that the source of the blood clan’s evil lies in the true ancestor of the blood clan, and as long as she is killed, the blood clan will disappear completely.”
Roland looked around: "You won't have any taboos when you tell us this in a city of vampires."
"No, it's just something everyone knows." The dwarf put his hands on his hips and laughed loudly: "And it's still daytime. Except for a few high-level vampires, the other vampires are still sleeping in coffins."
"So, what does this have to do with what you want to tell me?" Roland found that this dwarf was very good at gossiping, and he rambled on without getting to the point: "It's about the Alliance and the Blood Queen."
"Because according to our experience, the Blood Clan Extermination Alliance will appear soon." The dwarf pointed to the huge stone pillars in the distance: "By then, this city will become very chaotic, and if you don't have anyone, With your strength, you need a shelter.”
"So, where can we find such a shelter?" Roland put another silver coin in front of the dwarf politely.
"Hahaha, I like you as a smart businessman. You deserve to make a lot of money." The dwarf jumped up and slapped Roland's knee happily. This was their way of showing affection to the 'giant': "My sister is the king of the palace. She has a small secret room at the largest stone pillar, which is very safe, and... it is possible to see the charming, petite and cute figure of Her Majesty the Queen from a distance."
"Oh, that's great, we need a safe place like this."
Roland took out another silver coin and stuffed it into the other person's hand. At the same time, he smiled happily and sincerely.
