Underground City Velkastance, in the words of the goblins, it raphical location, being in thevolcanoes and the river of lava that flows tirelessly cuts the city off fro land
To enter the pavilion in the sky, one h the spiral staircase at the city below and the moment they meet invaders, they only have to block these spiral stairs or sias then basically, they would be cut off the rest of the world
At the back of this city, between the wall of rocks, there is actually an opening that leads to the surface, allowing it to doround world and even er
In the underground world, safety is a so viewed more important than any other incentives Very quickly, after it drew in numerous merchants to permanently reside in the city, it becaoblins who insists on using its original name, other races noreographical location olden city of the underground world, earning the goblins who found and built it a great deal… Of course, in the underground city, not possessing power to protect your treasures and fortune is also an original sin
But, the wall behind its back cannot protect it froons After a series of scheoblins who created this city has already disappeared and now, this place is without a City Lord,it neutral city without a lord
The reason? As the factions within the city is too coround lord within the city so whoever who becomes the city lord could very possibly be assassinated the next day, Thus, this for any lords
“Leave this as a public passage to the surface and a location to trade with other cities, a neutral zone for diploround Autarchs who have tasted the sweetness formed a consensus on this issue
This is also the round Alliance After all, if you negotiate on the grounds of the Dark Elves, the Gray Dwarves and Beastotiate on the Beastmen territory, the Elves, Dwarves and Humans wouldn’t be able to accept it, if you try to strike the deal in the Dragon City, everyone would have to grow a pair of wings first and if you do it the goblin territory which is highly business-focused, due to the expensive fee in entering the city and for lodgings, everyone won’t be pleased
The lord-less Vance naturally becao, there was an astonishi+ng entrance to the city The news of 17 gigantic ht Scepter that it was protecting has already spread across the entire underground city and Sulfur Mountain City’s young City Lord Annie has started to gain so robe and aaround this city which was quite similar to Sulfur Mountain City
When I say that Vance City is similar to Sulfur Mountain City, I meant that it is a city with diverse races, without nobility, a well-known prosperous trading city but in my eyes, it is the exact same points on where they differ
Other than the Undead, who very few people can accept having thehbors, ether A s team, a barber, it is possible that their members are of different races and also, the rained in Sulfur Mountain City so slavery and such isn’t an acceptable act
But in this city, the slavery trade is quite lucrative and in fact, there are even ht behere, but the districts they live in are demarcated very clearly The boundaries of each race are clear and their fighting has never stopped in the shadows For exaed Beast out”
“… This should be the Elf District and only they would be so free”
The Elves are publicly known to be the number 1 race in their aesthetics sense Their pursuit for beauty and art is boundless The exiled Dark Elves are no different and if you think this only applies to infrastructures, sculptures and paintings, you are underesti theigantic stone has been carved into a vivid i expression, the lips that were slightly curved up and the sexy figure which her 2 hands were unable to cover tend to s
“Uncle Bones, look at this sword It is so pretty!!”
Since it is a private visit, then naturally, I wouldn’t bring tooa mantle, is the envoy team’s leader in name Annie and my external conscience Elisa
In this instant, Annie aving a thinand sliolden-color rose carved on it and on the handle, 2 Fallen Angels beside each other was sculpted on it Their wings were spread apart, as though roaring towards the heavens
Yet, the glowing green blade indicates that it isn’t just a piece of decoration but a lethal weapon that has been enchanted with poison At least, the dark-skinned Dark Elfcity lord on this point
?Art Piece: The Sword of Fallen Angels?
?Attack Power: 0-5 (+1 Poison Dae) Tier: Superior ?
?Special Ability: None Oh, no, she still has a special ability At least, it can show that you are rich and silly enough to buy this luxurious but unpractical toy Perhaps, if you dance with it in the dance, you ht still be able to blind your eneile When clashi+ng arms with Superior-tier weapons, there is a 70 chance it will instantly break Eich above! This dumbass Elf, for the sake of beauty, actually carved the sword eant design, exquisite carving, expensive material, perfect workmanshi+p and then, useless! Battle? Do you really intend to bring an art piece to the battlefield? Or do you want your grave to be carved to indicate that you are an artist? Better go and choose fro the Annie as using her strength to wave the sword, on the verge of buying it, I aet the systee that you are an Art Piece, what does it take to get the systeoods of the Elves are as good atpeople speechless as always
The pursuit of art and beauty is perfectly nor the precious enchantedthe carvings, resulting in the blade being weaker than noroal of weapons?
Using the same materials to make weapon, Elf blacksant and beautiful but by overdoing the adornments, they sacrifice the practicality of the weapon for beauty, resulting in the some stuff that would leave people speechless For example, the Elf Thin Sword here and the more famous Elf Chainmail
That toy is faes Nor Even War Mages who often go on the front line would tend to wear a Mage Robe rather than a Metal Chain defensive ability But, the Elf Mages invented a new Elf Chain of Har a nor
In reality, they e amount to make this series of Chainmail commonplace but then, they found a small problem with it… This Chainmail’s defensive ability is inferior to robes!
Chainether to provide reliable defensive ability But, the ‘Song of Har, giving it totally no defense againstaround to avoid arroould result in the chainround Afterwards, they still have to spend several hours to put it back together and wear it thick-skinned, pretending as though everything is still okay After all, the poor soldiers cannot afford to co
Then, when the court did an investigation on the design and attempted to improve it, they realized that it was precisely because it was hollow enough, that’s why h the spellcaster but for it to be hollow to such an extent, there is no need to think about increasing its defensive power If it is thick enough, it will becoht is contradictory, thus it is unable to be ido the expensiveafter in an Undead Cala of Harmony’ then became a syn…
To tell truth, I don’t really know to deal with those preciouson it and the enchantment already made it impossible to work on them any further In the end, I threw it to those Elf blacksle over the creation of an art piece
This is why Elves’ creations are unwelco the nobles of huround cities are forever the Gray Dwarves’
Of course, the Elves wouldn’t admit it They would think that it is the slander of those with short life span “We have sufficient time to master it to perfection You are just jealous of our artistic cells You duhted objects, you all are ly burnt antic female Elf sculpture was also like this Someone seems to think that it is a sculpture of Goddess Lorci or soic ritual, but even if the system doesn’t tell me directly that it is ?Statue of a Sculptor’s Dreauess that it is the result of the Elf’s artistic talent acting up
Hanging on the wall of the cliff, a sculpture 100- Spell to reach, incredibly beautiful, attracting countless gazes but in the end, it is just a sculpture
If it is done by a human craftsman, it would probably require at least a 400-ether for 5 to 6 years But if it is an Elf, it could very well be so hiless
For an Elf whose lifespan is, on average, a thousand, they would have the time to waste but humans don’t have such leisure…
The conclusion of the cohter Kajah has been revealed After I consecutively caused the third Matriarch’s Envoy to take their leave, she also decisively left otiations
At thisthe reason that we are about to conduct secret negotiations so it is inappropriate for us to interact too ive up that sword… Un, art piece
“Lord Annie, please prioritize officialor so, you can leave it to servants like us” Her tone, as usual, was filled with venom but ever since Annie realized that she was unable to beat her in an argument, un, of course part of the reason is that she is unable to defeat this big sister, she also began to learn to ignore theat this situation, I started to frown Annie is our appointed City Lord and Elisa ht very well be our future Head of Internal Affairs Bureau or the Head of the Supreh official If they are unable to get along, or even beco trouble in Sulfur Mountain City in the future
“Even though Elisa can maintain basic respect towards everyone, how coreat resentment towards Annie… Looks like I must look for an opportunity to talk to her about this”
Suddenly, the Elf Guards in front of us split into 2 by the sides and following that, a tall Dark Elf Priestess walks out from the shadow Behind her, there are antly…
“There are a total of 72 Dark Elf cities in the underground world, but it looks like more than 20 Matriarchs of the First Fanore those ere unable totoo far, there is at least half of the Spider Queen Lorci and her Priestesses here Are they trying to showcase their ht The Matriarchs here, in their own underground cities, their authority and ht wouldn’t be inferior to Sulfur Mountain City’s City Lord Now that they are standing quietly in a line by the side like a subordinate, it makes Kajah’s authority seem more apparent and indubitably, it is a silent way of pressuring us
“Mortal, you ether with my subordinates”
But I smiled
The Emperor would never compare his authority with his farmers A true authoritative winner doesn’t need too e such a show, it can only show that she is unconfident She is worried about Sulfur Mountain City’s strength and even fear it, so she wants to find so power
“Hehe, looks like the show I staged for the entry of this city is quite effective”
That day, e entered the city, 17 of the Roland series giant robot walked in arrogantly into the city
After being stopped, we sent one of the robots and bashed the 2 Black Dragons that were guarding the gate into pulp In the chaotic battle, we even ‘accidentally’ destroy the city’s th and the sturdy antic robot
After the incident, I made Annie announce that these areto auction off, causing an even bigger ripple
This isEveryone would start thinking ‘They are even willing to split with this kind of war on independently Does this mean that Sulfur Mountain City still have some kind of ace up their sleeves…”?
