Manto Dris is a huge natural cave in the Underdark. This cave is the result of millions of years of tireless water carving.

The water here is alive.

In this underground trading market shrouded in strange silence, the only sound is the sound of running water.

Even if you close your eyes, you can still feel the waterfall flowing deep in the cave, flying down from the high dome and splashing on the rock wall of the cave. The gurgling stream passes through the cave, forming a waterfall at every turn.

Small bubbling pond.

Because Manto Dris is not a bustling market, but a shady place for secret deals and shrewd negotiations.

It's not crowded here. Judging from the soft whispers and the occasional low footsteps on the icy road, there are no more than 200 people in the entire cave.

While the drow wizard was bargaining with the human merchant, Brian, the war mage prisoner who had gained temporary freedom, walked out of the tent and stood at the door with a complicated expression, looking at the surrounding environment.

Although it is quiet here, it is full of light. Because the walls are inlaid with colorful crystals and gems, a few dim candlesticks are enough to make the entire cave sparkle.

This quiet underground trading bazaar is dotted with splendid stone buildings.

The walls surrounding the fountain are inlaid with precious stones to form strange patterns, the crystal bridge across the stream is natural, and even the sidewalks are paved with polished jewelry.

At this time, he happened to be stepping on a path paved with sapphires shining with starlight.

Even though he was used to the gorgeous lights of the bustling cities in the real world, now that he was walking on such wealth again, he would inevitably feel dazzled.

He looked at the familiar scenery that seemed like a world away, smelled the long-lost air that was moist, thick, and filled with the smell of mushrooms. He sighed with emotion, and unconsciously recalled his own experience as a visitor from another world in his mind.

life.

As a gamer, he was inexplicably reborn into the game world. Even though there was a slight sense of loss hidden deep in his heart, he thought this was something worth being happy about.

Who would have thought that when he adjusted his mentality and prepared to use the knowledge he had mastered in his previous life and his ability to foresee and foresight to develop his lofty ambitions, he discovered that he would be reborn in a small town that was targeted by ancient evil beings and faced destruction at all times.

world.

There is no doubt that this is not the world of Toril and Faerûn that he is familiar with at all.

This was nothing. What made him even more speechless was that this small world, which was extremely far away from the main world, was still a genuine low-magic world. Magical civilization was as rare as a few wisps of smoke remaining in the air.

The constraints of the rules and the limitations of his strength undoubtedly completely dispelled his attempts to quickly improve his strength and then run away.

In order to save his life, he had to try his best to delay the evil creature's destruction of the world.

In this way, you can have more time to think about how to leave.

Fortunately, the goddess of luck favored him this time, and everything went as smoothly as he had imagined.

Not only did he successfully delay the demise of the world with the help of the will of the small world plane, but he also joined forces with a psychic from the elves to find a way to the main material world through a wizard tower left by the remnants of the Arcane Empire.

road.

Of course, the help of Plane Will and Psion is not free. The premise of all this is that he nodded and agreed to find a way to save the world.

Led by the psion who mastered the powers of the Astral Brigade, he set foot on the astral passage to the continent of Faerûn, the world of Toril, without hesitation.

The Star Boundary belongs to a nearly stagnant subspace and spiritual world in the multiverse. Even the legendary strong ones dare not set foot there easily.

Naturally, this trip was thrilling for Brian.

They've encountered astral dragons that looked like dreadnoughts, escaped from astral predators that feasted on the flesh of astral travelers, and even witnessed astral dragons streaking through the shadows of the silver void.

.

During this dangerous journey, accidents still happened.

Brian and the accompanying psion encountered a group of Githyanki known as the 'Astral Pirates', and the two became separated.

Without the guidance of a psion, he relied on the blessing properties of the Celestial Mountains to successfully attract the attention of an Aasimar paladin who called himself the "Apostle of the Stars" and took him to the Crosswind Fortress in the Iselin Nebula.

After tossing and turning all the way, Brian was teleported to the Underdark by an Aasimar wizard whose teleportation spells were extremely unreliable.

The results can be imagined.

The unreliable teleportation spell caused him to fall into a caravan going to the Dark Territory to sell slaves, and he was captured alive by a strong man who was at least two levels higher than him...

It eventually evolved into this situation.

Regarding his unknown fate, Brian had no choice but to make bold assumptions and try carefully. After all, the gap in strength was there.

As it is now, the drow wizard who bought him does not worry about his escape at all.

Because this is the most mysterious Manto Dris in the Underdark, a huge cave hidden three kilometers below the surface. It is protected by heavy magic and is stronger than a wizard's tower.

Some powerful beings cannot find the location of this market through magic. The solid rocks surrounding the cave emit strange rays unique to the Underdark, which no magic can penetrate.

These spells are either weakened by scattering, or are reflected intact to the caster, and may even be life-threatening.

Therefore, any attempt to use magic to investigate the mysterious Manto Dris is destined to end in failure or tragedy, let alone an escaped prisoner.

Therefore, Brian is very aware of his situation. Now he can only choose to endure the humiliation and wait until he leaves this mysterious trade bazaar to find an opportunity to escape.

Thinking of this, he moved his mind and called up his own system panel:

…………

Although the series of encounters in another world made Brian very unhappy, there were also many things that made him worthy of praise, such as his elf blood.

In the vast multiverse, Toril is not the only world. In the distant world of Athas, the apocalyptic and harsh living conditions make most of the creatures and races living there have the ability to use psychic powers.

And his elven bloodline is the elven remnant from the world of Atas.

Although the psychic talents of these elven remnants from the world of Atas have been completely lost with the passage of time due to the different living environments.

However, with the help of a psion, Brian finally succeeded in awakening the original psychic talent in his body, and took up the psion profession part-time.

However, Brian is still very aware of his situation.

This seemingly luxurious attribute panel is actually not of much help to him now. In the final analysis, the levels of the two professions are too low to allow him to escape.

His current strength belongs to the second level of extraordinary, and the drow wizard who bought him, Brian guessed, is at least a fourth level paragon.

The gap between the two levels makes it easy for the other party to take advantage of you.

What's more, the other party is still a wizard.

In the world of high magic, the most difficult person to deal with is the spell caster.

Therefore, without complete preparation, he really did not dare to risk his life and try to resist.

Since he couldn't escape with his strength, Brian had to use another advantage of his.

That is the prophetic ability that he, as a time traveler, has mastered.

So, he retracted his chaotic thoughts and began to seriously analyze his situation.

From the conversation between the drow wizard and the businessman, he learned that the other party's purpose of buying him was mainly to act as a deadly hunter.

This reminded him of the drow tradition: blood sacrifice.

Blood Rite is a unique drow ritual.

In this ritual, the young drow hunt and kill an intelligent or dangerous creature, preferably from a light place on the surface. For example, a surprise attack on the surface is one way to accomplish this task.

However, if there are suitable captives, such hunting is often carried out in the tunnels of the Underdark.
