Or when a stable territory is opened in the future, you can transport ale in large quantities from outside to trade with the gray dwarves.

Ten barrels of ale can be exchanged for fifty sets of dwarven exquisite plate armor, which is more than a huge profit.

At this time, the ale brought by the Marin caravan was selling at a high price. He handed over the remaining work to his nephew to let him accumulate some experience, came to Lin Xiao and said:

"I'm sorry that I was so busy with business that I neglected Mr. Mystery."

Lin Xiao waved his hand and said:

"You're welcome. I'm going to visit the second and third floors of the Dark Territory. Can you help me find a guide?"

Marin was shocked when he heard this and said:

"Master Mystery, are you going to the third floor of the Underdark? That's too dangerous. That's the territory of the drow. If you encounter..."

He didn't say anything later, but Lin Xiao understood what he meant. Obviously, even if he was a senior mage, it would still be very dangerous if he ran into a drow patrol or a powerful magical beast.

Lin Xiao didn't mean to defend himself. He just hit the ground with the staff in his hand. A faint halo of light extended from his feet. Marin's eyes suddenly bulged and he shouted in surprise:

"Magic halo! Are you an archmage?"

In this world, when a mage's professional level reaches level 15 or above, he will naturally have this kind of magical aura, and this kind of mage is called an archmage.

Like the mage system in the Toril multiverse, the professional system in this world is divided into twenty levels. Levels 0 to 4 are low-level professionals, levels 5 to 9 are intermediate professionals, and levels 10 to 14 are high-level professionals.

Levels 15 to 19 are top professionals, and those above level 20 are legendary professionals.

It can be seen from this that professionals above level 15 are already extremely powerful professionals. As long as they do not seek death, they can go anywhere, not to mention high-level professions such as Master.

When Lin Xiao showed off his strength, Ma Lin was speechless.

Soon a tauren warrior named Jonilla expressed his willingness to be his guide. Marin heard that this tauren warrior had been to the third level of the Underdark during the coming-of-age ceremony trial and had killed a drow with his own hands.

Elf.

This tauren warrior named Jonilla is 2.67 meters tall, wearing a thick steel half-armor, carrying a huge steel ax on his back, and several small hand axes on the belt around his waist. He is almost armed.

To the teeth.

He had a copper ring pierced through his nostril, but the other nostril was broken. He said it was cut off while fighting drow in the adult trial.

Even Marin praised that Jonila was able to compete with a level 14 warrior after going berserk. Her actual combat ability, good equipment and a professional level of up to level 13 barely met Lin Xiao's needs.

Jonila looked very honest, but she blushed a little when faced with Marin's praise. It was Lin Xiao's sharp eyesight that allowed her to detect the red marks on Jonila's thick, fine hair face. This shows that this child

How red your face is.

This is easy to make people like you. After all, people who are shy and blush easily are usually very obedient. Generally, this kind of simple-minded subordinates can make people feel at ease.

Farewell to Marin, Lin Xiao took Qionila on the road to the second continent.

I have to say that it was quite convenient to have a local as a guide. After Jonila left the Stone Hammer Castle, he quickly came to a passage to the next level and got in. He didn't encounter many monsters along the way.

After traveling for a few days, Lin Xiao felt that being too shy was not necessarily a good thing.

Let's take eating as an example. Although the tauren have six stomachs and can store a lot of food at one time, they can still get hungry and still eat a lot.

Of course, this was nothing to Lin Xiao, who had prepared an unknown amount of food. What gave him a headache was that after the tauren Qionila had eaten the food he had brought, he was still very shy after being hungry again, and was too embarrassed to ask Lin Xiao.

Xiao asked for food, so he didn't find out about it until the tauren fainted from hunger the next day.

So every once in a while he had to ask the Tauren Qionila the same question:

"Jonila, are you hungry?"

Fortunately, this situation did not happen again after the two became familiar with each other. Apart from being shy, Jonila was indeed a very good little minotaur.

He knew that magicians were generally weak and unable to withstand blows, so whenever he saw a monster along the way, he would rush forward and fight. After knocking the monster down with a few axes, he turned to Lin Xiao and smirked, letting him see how talented he was.

Value, definitely worth the food you eat.

Just walking and stopping along the way, half a month later they stepped on the land of the second continent through the long spiral stone staircase.

Lin Xiao's first impression of the second floor of the continent was that it was high and big. The space here was much higher than that of the first floor, and the terrain was relatively smooth. At least you could see farther from a higher place at a glance.

Jonila took the initiative to introduce that this layer was more barren than the first and third continents, with relatively fewer monsters. There were only some small beasts that made a living by stealing crops worth the cave dwellers' species. Except for the Zhuo who came once every six months.

Apart from the sweeps in Erda, it's pretty safe here.

When mentioning the drow, Jonila seemed to have changed into a different person. Instead of her shy image, she looked like an angry young man with gritted teeth.

Lin Xiao understood that when they were chatting along the way, they talked about the tragedies that the drow had done.

These drow are much more ferocious than their counterparts in the Underdark Realm of Faerun's main material plane in the Toril multiverse. The Lord of Darkness in this world is a pure evil god, even more ferocious than the Spider Queen Rose.

The drow were a completely evil race under the rule of the Lord of Darkness.

After the drow won the battle, all the adult males were slaughtered as materials for summoning soul-bound corpses, and the women and children were used as slaves, even the corpses of the drow who died in the battle were the same.

Not only Jonila, but also in the eyes of other underground races, these drow should live in the abyss.

At this time of year, there is still a long time before the drow sweep. Caveman tribes of different sizes can be seen everywhere on the vast mainland plains. This little man of just over one meter is quite timid. Lin Xiao can be seen from a distance.

Walking over with Jonila, after a few sharp whistles, the cavemen who were busy planting underground crops by the geothermal hot springs became confused and burrowed into their caves like ground mice.

The tauren actually smiled:

"These little dwarfs are very timid. They will be scared to crawl into the hole at the slightest sign of trouble. Last time I passed by, a caveman didn't escape and bumped into my calf, knocking him out."

Lin Xiao turned his head in surprise, the tauren could actually tell jokes?

"How far is this place from the third-level passage you went to last time?"

"We're almost there. I put up a road sign there last time."

Oh, since there are signs, it should be easy to find.

However, in the next three days, Lin Xiao watched Qionila repeatedly looking at various huge rocks in a certain area, and kept muttering:

"I obviously remember being here, right?"

Lin Xiao keenly sensed signs of fighting nearby, and it was estimated that the road sign had been destroyed.

He definitely couldn't find it. He pulled Jonila and walked to a caveman tribe not far away. The best way at this time was definitely to ask the locals.

When Qionila showed up and scared away a group of cavemen, Lin Xiao had no choice but to come forward in person, take out some delicious food from the six-color Rubik's Cube, and then slowly heat it up, the aroma of barbecue wafted into the air, and he gave himself

Blessed with a human-like charm technique, it slowly dispelled the caveman's fear.

Two hours later, these caveman tribes had regarded Lin Xiao as their best friend, and naturally they easily obtained the passage to the third floor from them.

During this time, he had tasted caveman food. It was really similar to moss and was extremely unpalatable, but it was extremely precious underground where food was scarce. Even the drow relied on this food to satisfy their hunger when they didn't have enough food.

Eating these moss-like foods every day, and suddenly eating delicious barbecue and snacks, every caveman who received the food regarded it as a treasure, and it took him a long time to think about it even after taking a small bite. Many cavemen sang and danced excitedly like it was a festival.

Although the dancing was ugly, it was definitely the most delicious food they had ever eaten in their lives.

From this, we can see that the situation of these cavemen is very difficult. It is said that the average age of cavemen is no more than five years old. They can escape one drow pursuit but not the second. If it were not for their super reproductive ability, they would have been exterminated long ago.

From these cavemen, he saw kindness, docility, and... good potential.

For this reason, Lin Xiao did not immediately go down to the third level. Instead, he specifically stayed in this caveman tribe for a while, and then took Qionila to wander around the continent for a while, specifically inspecting the different tribes of this race.

Before Lin Xiao came, he had taken the caveman race into consideration.

In other words, there are only a few intelligent races that can provide faith in the entire underdark, and most of them have owners. Among the races he considered before, the top one was the drow, and the cavemen actually ranked at the bottom. This race is actually

It is too weak and does not provide much power of faith.

But after he carefully studied this race for a period of time, he improved the ranking of this race by several places.

Next, he will continue to investigate the drow elves. After that, he will make a decision, choose a race to spread the faith, and then accumulate enough believers to use this incarnation as the basis to become a god in this world and start the road of conquest of this world.

.

Although the drow are evil and cruel, they are not unchangeable.

In the Toril multiverse, in addition to the Spider Queen Lolth, the drow believe in the kind goddess the Dark Maiden.

It's just that the risk of seizing some drow from the Lord of Darkness to become his followers was too great. He had to conduct an on-the-spot investigation to see if it was worth the risk.

Two months later, Lin Xiao and the tauren Qionila were guided by several cavemen to a passage leading to the third level. However, before leaving, he dug a hole near the caveman tribe.
