Emperor of Arcane

The adventurers who waited for the signal.

They all rushed towards the target location quickly according to the established plan.

Nearly 1/4 of the adventurers went to the territory controlled by the mind flayer.

They planned to seize the gap between the Mind Flayer army's departure, quickly collect intelligence, and establish hidden observation posts.

Everything they did was to prepare for the next battle plan.

It is difficult for adventurers to intervene in the frontal battlefield, but they are naturally very interested in the empty rear of the Mind Flayer Empire.

Hunt the mind flayer.

Free the controlled slaves.

Clear out the mind flayer stronghold.

All require complete and reliable intelligence as support.

Compared to the drow quests that have no prospects yet, most adventurers are willing to choose existing quests that they are already familiar with.

Before the next batch of the mind flayer army arrives, the risk is reduced invisibly.

They can also quickly accumulate regional contributions and receive rare double rewards, which naturally makes them even more excited.

However, there are also quite a number of adventurers who choose to follow the army led by Sera.

This is almost the most stable and most profitable combat mission.

Given the choice, most adventurers would be willing to follow the army.

It's a pity that the Gulf Territory is strict in selection in this regard. Only the best and most powerful group of adventurers can fight together.

It is precisely because of this attitude that more adventurers feel relieved.

The Gulf Territory is still the same as before and does not treat them as cannon fodder.

"Well, should we go into town?"

Looking expectantly at Suramar getting closer and closer, Drizzt completed the transformation and acted very calmly.

Tyrell, who was following him, confirmed that his mood was relatively stable now. He pulled the cloak on his head, glanced at the shining slave mark on the back of his hand, and said in a firm tone:

"Don't be too anxious. If there is a chance, we will take action together."

Drizzt, who nodded silently without much mental burden, sneered and said:

"I'm not in a hurry now. The longer time passes, the weaker they will be and the stronger we will be."

"I really want to see them lose everything without knowing it..."

Tyrael nodded silently, vaguely feeling the pressure on Drizzt.

If this pressure is released, he will fully realize his potential.

After receiving training from the Bay Leader to improve his strength, Tyrell had already thought about it very clearly.

The improvement of strength should not be driven by hatred.

Otherwise, a fatal imbalance will inevitably occur, affecting the future upper limit.

Tyrael hopes that Drizzt can progress with him. They have many goals and ideals in the future.

Heavy footsteps came one after another from behind.

They subconsciously looked back and saw a huge and burly figure.

The ogre warriors lined up neatly, striding behind them.

They wore thick and shiny enchanted armor and held heavy hammers wrapped with thunder, showing an extremely powerful aura.

Unlike other ogres who were scattered, these ogres in the Gulf Territory were strong and orderly. Although there were only seven or eight hundred people, they brought an astonishing sense of oppression.

Following them were nearly 3,000 jackal warriors.

He is tall, has a strong gait, sharp eyes and consistent actions.

All the adventurers were convinced by the Gulf Territory's training and training capabilities.

It is not difficult to make the ogres and jackals obey.

To equip them with the quality and discipline of elite soldiers is a problem that all adventurers have never thought about.

If you haven't seen it with your own eyes.

They will definitely think that this is impossible to happen!

Watching these ogres and jackals completely change their appearance after disappearing for a while.

Many adventurers have given a higher evaluation of the combat effectiveness of the Gulf Territory.

The hundreds of thousands of ogres, jackals, tauren and other slaves that were rescued alone were enough to frighten people.

Protected by the gnolls in the center were more than 20 earth-moving dragon drow elf knights.

Wearing glittering magic armor, they attracted the attention of other drows from a distance.

At the center are two large golem trucks.

The densely packed enchanted lines sparkle with an eye-catching luster.

Gartel, who was standing outside the car, noticed a pair of eyes looking over, looked at the other drow teams getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but ask:

"Are we going in like this?"

Nodding calmly, Sera recorded various information and data outside, summarized and made statistics on the surrounding drow team, and replied confidently:

"That's right, drow elves must not keep a low profile, otherwise it will be seen as a sign of weakness."

"The weaker a drow is, the more likely it is to be attacked by other drow."

"As long as I'm strong enough, rich enough, and my attitude is tough enough, my identity won't be a problem."

"In addition, I have sent people to take down the ruins of a drow city and found some survivors."

Gartel, who understood the style of the Gulf Territory, immediately thought that many supplies in the drow city would be received by the Gulf Territory staff who arrived one after another.

That’s a lot of money!

Most of the early mission rewards may have been recovered.

An order was issued to quickly repair and strengthen the defense facilities of the new underground city in the Gulf Territory.

Sera put on the shining magic thunder armor and stood on the top of the golem train under the gaze of countless hot eyes.

Looking around, more than 40 drow troops were gathering towards Suramar from various passages.

Famil, who was wearing a gray-brown mage robe, felt the cool clothes under the robe, suppressed the shyness in his heart, and half-knelt down respectfully towards Sera.

Farmiel could feel that many hot eyes were falling on her.

Sera, who was pretending, looked at Suramar, who was emitting bright light in the distance, and smiled with interest:

"Soon, you will be able to see the true life of the drow."

Shaking his head slightly, Famil, who had learned more knowledge, was no longer interested in the drow elves, so he just asked curiously:

"Why do we come to Suramar? Instead of choosing to contact the drow forces alone."

Stroking the shiny golden seat, Sera raised her hand slightly to the provocative gaze not far away.

The flashing and jumping thunder instantly crossed a distance of hundreds of meters.

Click!

A charred body fell from mid-air.

Green smoke was coming out of her body, and she fell on the rubble and kept twitching, while she let out bursts of exclamations and screams.

The shining thunder startled the surrounding drow elves.

The drow commander, who was riding on a six-legged lizard, had a hint of fear in his eyes.

She never thought that Sera had such a long attack range and could accurately hit the invisible shadow assassin.

The information revealed by this hand caused most of the drow to look away immediately.

This is not an easy opponent to mess with!

Suramar City is a city located on the edge of Treasure Lake.

It is surrounded by water on three sides and faces north on one side.

The huge 20-meter-high city wall exudes a lavender luster.

Hundreds of steel golems stood quietly on the city wall.

More than a dozen spiers sprouting from behind the city wall are emitting surging mana fluctuations.

At the top of the tallest spire, a giant gem emitted bright white light, illuminating Suramar and the surrounding area for dozens of kilometers.

Suramar is famous for its hundreds of drow wizards.

The magic props and equipment it produces are sold to more than 100 surrounding drow cities.

Suramar is already very lively on weekdays.

Many drow adventurers and slave-catching teams come here to rest and sell stolen goods.

The passage 80 kilometers south of Suramar connects a large and chaotic underground world.

The gnoll tribe, the ogre kingdom, the tauren community, some sporadic gray dwarf organizations, and countless dangerous creatures make the underground world dangerous and lively.

Today, the already lively Suramar became even more joyful.

On weekdays, many drow city-state armies who dislike each other gather here.

Of course, most of them held back their plans for the time being.

It's not like they've become polite and courteous.

But those drow who dared to take action were turned into immovable stone statues by the powerful Suramar City Guards.

If someone is willing to pay a ransom for them, Suramar will release them after three days.

Otherwise, they will automatically become slaves of Suramar City.

Anyway, those who did it were all male drow, they were all worthless cannon fodder, and not many drow would pay the ransom.

what is interesting is.

These captured slaves will be sent to Suramar's slave market for other drow to select and purchase.

The feud between the drow is also very exciting.

They would naturally have some thoughts about the enemy's slaves.

In order to prevent themselves from losing face and causing greater trouble, drow elves who are unwilling to pay to redeem people sometimes have to participate in bidding.

They fought and Surama gained.

Sera, who saw all this, naturally understood Suramar's intentions behind it.

This is what the matrons do in most drow cities.

Provoke conflicts between other weaker families, let them fight with each other, constantly consume strength, and benefit from it, so that you can firmly sit on the throne of the mistress.

Suramar influences and controls other drow cities in a more subtle way, thereby gaining greater influence and strength.

This kind of ambition is "good"!

Sera learned the advantages of concentrating efforts to do big things in the racial development study course in the Gulf Territory.

This "dispersion" situation of the drow will continue for a longer period of time in the future.

Until it is broken by external force!

Of course, this level of external force must be able to threaten the spider goddess Rose.

Only those who can fight against existences of this level can break the status quo of the drow.

Otherwise, they will always become captive food for the Spider Goddess.

When you are in a good mood, pick a few that are pleasing to the eye and eat them.

When you are in a bad mood, harvest large areas.

Only by jumping out of this circle and out of the scope of being controlled by the Spider Goddess can we truly see the whole situation clearly.

Thinking this in her heart, Sera also noticed many hidden glances coming from all over the street.

She glanced at the soldiers following her, and she suddenly felt safe in her heart. She turned to the drow who received her and said:

"Take me to the slave market!"

While saying this, Sera threw a bag of gold coins to her.

Trixis took the bag in surprise, feeling the heavy weight and familiar feeling inside, and was a little uncomfortable with Sera's sudden generosity.

She never thought that the drow who were forced to come out to receive other people because of being excluded would also gain unexpected benefits.

However, Trish's first reaction was nervousness.

She didn't understand Sera's thoughts and purposes, but she knew the temper of most drow elf matrons.

He lowered his head quite humbly, covered his face, and said while leading the way:

"Please follow me, what kind of slave do you want?"

Sera did not answer immediately, and Cui Xisi naturally did not dare to ask any more questions.

It took about three minutes.

Sera looked at the huge slave market in front of her and saw many unique slaves.

The most common powerful slaves, ogres and tauren, are everywhere you look.

There are relatively few slaves with good strength like jackals.

But each one was different, and Sera sensed a familiar aura from them.

Dragonborn!

In order not to let Sera notice her, Trixis introduced various slaves very skillfully:

"There are quite a few slaves here, and most of them have been trained and will become very obedient."

"Although the price is relatively expensive, because we will give away weapons and equipment, it is still relatively cost-effective overall."

"These selected slaves generally have distinctive characteristics and advantages, and are stronger than ordinary slaves of the same race..."

"For example, these dragon-born jackals and dragon-born kobolds have higher IQs and are better able to understand commands. They can control a large number of jackals and kobolds relatively easily..."

"Those are half-giants. Although their brains are relatively stupid, their combat power is quite strong. They are very effective in attacking difficult situations..."

"These are domesticated six-legged lizards. Not only are they powerful in combat, but they can also be used to breed large batches of six-legged lizards..."

"There are also these very powerful magical creatures, which have basically been tamed and can be controlled..."

"This is the price list of slaves. It is about 30% higher than ordinary slaves. If you purchase it in large quantities, you can negotiate certain discounts..."

Trying to keep her tone as gentle as possible, Trixis introduced various slaves and handed Sera the parchment on which various information was recorded.

Gently groping for the parchment, Sera carefully recorded various price information, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but evoke a faint smile.

The price of slaves here is quite high, at least for the drow who can capture slaves at any time, the price is a bit exaggerated.

However, Sera is still very interested in these slaves.

It's not that I want to obtain these slaves for use in battle.

Rather, some of these magical creatures have not been collected even by the Gulf Territory.

Some slaves with special skills and expertise are also "good things" that the Gulf leaders often pay attention to collecting.

Although the managers of the Gulf Territory, including Sera, did not know that Matthew had super powers such as "digital display" and "ability analysis".

But everyone is not a fool.

The various special expertise and skills that constantly appear in the territory database coincide with the abilities of these special creatures.

I already understand the importance of this collection task.

This represents the continuous improvement and deepening of the Bay Area’s heritage.

It requires continuous collection and accumulation.

Although Sera thought so, she naturally didn't show it. She simply browsed around, calculated in her mind, and nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Well done, take me to the trading market again."

When she heard this, Cui Xisi's heart couldn't help but jump.

She could vaguely feel that Sera was different from her other drow grandmothers.

The latter was quiet and composed, and after walking in such a long circle, it was completely confusing to understand his purpose and focus.

This has nothing to do with the cruel and cunning mistress.

But the more this happened, the more Cuisi, who knew the danger, wanted to leave Sera's side as soon as possible.

For ordinary people, the more important the matter involved, the higher the possibility of being crushed to death by a sudden storm.

Trish doesn't want to die yet.

But she had no choice, Sera threw over another bag of gold coins!

She had to take it, otherwise she would be even more unlucky.

Thera didn't know what Trixis was thinking. If she knew it, she would be surprised by this drow with unique ideas.

After all, for the vast majority of drow.

If you want to survive, you must strive to climb higher.

Otherwise, there is only the possibility of becoming the target of other drow.

The life of the drow is so cruel.

Trixis, full of thoughts, took Sera to the trading market not far away.

Unlike the noisy chaos of the slave market, the trading market appears relatively quiet.

There are quite a lot of people, and many drow elves gather here.

Pointing to the side of the tavern where a large number of drow elves gathered, Trixis quickly introduced:

"You can collect information there, trade intelligence, or hire people to do it for you."

Pointing to another huge warehouse.

"That is the area where supplies are sold and purchased. Supplies and combat equipment for combat troops can be purchased from there..."

Next to the warehouse are several tall buildings.

"That's the accommodation area. You can live there temporarily. It's protected by Suramar City's guards, so it's safe."

The implication is that in other places, safety may not be guaranteed.

Glancing at it, I saw a simple and large-scale market.

Sera ignored those glances and nodded to the burly Gartel beside her.

The latter strode over with more than 10 Catachan warriors.

Noticing the extraordinary aura exuding from them and the coveted magic equipment, most of the drow honestly got out of the way.

Having eyesight is the key to the drow's ability to grow up to adulthood.

With them opening the way, Sera walked over leisurely and calmly.

Excluding most of the voices discussing her, a lot of useful information was clearly transmitted to Sera's ears through the sound collection processor built into the helmet.

"We can't sell our slaves. The purchase price offered by Suramar is too low."

"You will definitely lose money if you sell it to Suramar. Let's see if we can sell it to other drows..."

"I brought a batch of rare metals here, but who knew the price would actually drop..."

"Suramar doesn't have enough food supplies. We have to mobilize a batch from the city..."

"The price of food supplies is relatively high, so this is also a good opportunity to make money..."

"Suramar's magic weapons and equipment are of good quality, but the price is too expensive. Those cannon fodder don't need such good things..."

"The potion has been sold out again? We must come as soon as possible tomorrow..."

"It's definitely not sold out. I just want to take advantage of the opportunity to sell more. Let's get a batch of magic plants. We will definitely sell them all quickly..."

"Don't think so much now, fighting is the most important thing right now..."

"Anyway, Suramar's golem troops are on top of it, and I heard that Moblesso City is also sending a large army..."

"Which city is she the mistress of? She actually has such powerful magic armor?"

"Don't think so much, just buy supplies as soon as possible..."

"..."

Sera, who was quick-thinking, immediately made a clear and obvious judgment on the collected information:

"The drow elves brought many slaves here, and they were mainly used in exchange for various kinds of food."

"Most drow elves also have great needs. In order to survive in the next battle, they need magic weapons and equipment..."

"Looking at it this way, many of the drow sent here to participate in the battle are "cannon fodder" who failed in the competition!"

"Now if they want to survive, don't they have to work harder?"

Sera saw the hidden struggles and the looming business opportunities.

To the rest of the drow.

If you just get some magic weapons and equipment, it's not particularly difficult.

The underground world is extremely rich in resources. It cannot be said that all kinds of rare metals are available, but they are not scarce either.

However, high-quality magic equipment and weapons are beyond the reach of ordinary drow elves.

The reason is simple. Even if the drow casters have a higher status, they cannot completely get rid of the struggle between them.

Even for some drow spellcasters, they will be targeted and pressured even more.

Therefore, drow spellcasters will not make high-quality magic weapons and equipment for anyone other than their own power unless necessary.

What you sell today may kill you tomorrow!

High-quality magic weapons and equipment are scarce everywhere.

There are so many drow elves who are "fearful of death" gathered here. In Sera's opinion, they are all very wealthy potential "customers".

Rather than letting them die too quickly, it is better for them to contribute some value first and contribute more to the development of the Gulf Territory.

Of course, Sera will not reveal her intentions directly, nor will she blatantly sell high-quality magic weapons and equipment.

This is the act of selling high-quality magic weapons and equipment in Suramar City, which is to steal money from the pockets of the rulers of Suramar.

Of course you can’t be too public!

However, Sera was confident that she would immediately attract the "attention" of the drow.

In addition to lacking high-quality magic weapons and equipment, the drow must also lack magic scrolls and potions for war consumption.

Especially magic scrolls and potions for protection and treatment.

These are very rare life-saving trump cards for the drow.

It is difficult to collect it on ordinary days, and it is even more unthinkable during the dangerous war period.

The mind flayer army is powerful and terrifying.

I think these drow elves have already seen it.

They are definitely willing to spend their own money to buy better combat supplies to gain stronger combat effectiveness.

This way, it can at least ensure that they have a greater chance of escaping and surviving when they are defeated.

Under the threat of death, they will definitely be willing to spend a lot of money.

Thinking of this, Sera's lips couldn't help but curl up slightly.

However, Sera did not start taking action immediately, but rushed towards the accommodation area on the other side.

Just when Cuisi breathed a long sigh of relief and was about to take Sera to stay smoothly and complete her final work tasks, a voice came to her ears that made her helpless:

“Want to make more money?”

In no mood!

Don’t even dare!

However, Trixis had to nod in "surprise" and looked at Sera expectantly.

This acting skill is at least over 150 points!

Anyway, Sera didn't see any clues. She was letting Farmil go through the accommodation procedures and said to Cuisi without looking back:

"Send the news to the surrounding drow elves that we in Azshara have a lot of food to sell."

"If you need to buy food, you can exchange it with us for rare metals, magic plants, magic creatures, special slaves, or a large number of ordinary slaves."

"This is the price list. For every drow that is pulled in to complete the transaction, you will be rewarded with 100 gold coins."

"Don't worry about safety issues, Gartel will lead someone to follow you!"

Looking at Gartel walking over, Trixis could sense the terrible threat in his body, coupled with several equally tall and powerful Catachan warriors, she felt a wail in her heart.

"I'm not worried about safety. It's because you are not safe for me!"

However, Cui Xisi still had to put on an expression of surprise and excitement, nodded excitedly and replied:

"It is my honor to serve you."

Feeling helpless, Cui Xisi took the price list handed over by Farmil and glanced at it briefly. Her already nervous heart started to beat.

It's not that Sera's price was too low to attract the attention of the drow.

But the price she offered was too high!

Trixis was sure that other drow elves could not refuse such a "temptation" at all.

But this also means that Trixis will attract a large number of drow elves and attract the attention of many people.

If she wants a low-key and cautious plan, there is no doubt that she will go bankrupt.

Cui Xisi was so upset that she didn't even think about the paper in her hand. She pretended to smile on her face and hurried to the trading market.

Acting very much like a drow who got lucky!

Sure enough, when most drow learned about it.

The city of Azshara where Thera is located.

He is willing to pay 100 times the weight of each ordinary slave in food to purchase a large number of slaves.

500 times the weight of grain to purchase special slaves.

Food weighing more than 10,000 times is used to purchase high-quality magical plants and magical creatures.

Food weighing more than 1 million times is used to purchase high-grade rare metals such as fine gold, mithril, krypton gold, and magic iron.

If this price were on the surface, it would be completely unaffordable and would be ridiculed by many forces and organizations.

But if it's in the underground world, it's completely different.

For thousands of years, even though the area developed and discovered in the underground world has become larger and larger, the total population of the underground world has still grown very slowly.

Take the drow as an example. Their territory expanded three times, but their population only tripled.

Pregnancy and childbirth are indeed more difficult for immortal species, but it is definitely not as exaggerated as many people say that it is difficult to get pregnant in ten years.

Elves can reach at least 1/3 of humans.

After thousands of years of accumulation, even if the total number is not increased by nearly twenty or thirty times like human forces, it can definitely be four or five times more.

Even though the killings between the drow were astonishing, the Spider Goddess Rose took a few big bites from time to time to add to the fun.

However, the number of drow should not be so small.

Another reason why intelligent creatures are powerful is their amazing ability to reproduce and nurture.

You know, elves have a lot of fun, and they have sex at every turn.

This is true for the Cole elves, and even more so for the Drow elves.

The population of the Cole elves has increased from a few million to hundreds of millions.

The number of drow elves has grown, but it has entered a state of stagnation in the past thousand years.

In the final analysis, it is because the underground world is too barren.

There is no way to produce that much food.

Things are rare and valuable.

Food itself is hard currency in the underground world.

Even if the drow don't have to worry about eating, the slaves who represent their wealth and power have big appetites.

The cooperation between the Gulf Territory and the second gray dwarf prince Kraze.

The most important batch of supplies provided is food that can satisfy the survival of hundreds of thousands of gray dwarves under his command.

Otherwise, the cunning gray dwarves would not be so willing to "share" with the Gulf Territory and jointly squeeze the opportunities of other gray dwarf forces.

Yes, some time ago.

The reason why Matthew was able to gather the rare metals to build the mage tower was not only through his own efforts to purchase, collect, and dig, but also mostly by relying on food in exchange for the inventory in the hands of the gray dwarf forces.

Now, on a whim, Sera decided to target the wealthier drow elves.

This fake mistress of hers must become real!

Therefore, as soon as Trixis shouted, a large number of drow elves were immediately attracted.

Seeing the pairs of scrutinizing, probing, greedy, and twisted eyes, the helpless Cuisi had no choice but to hug Mistress Sera's thigh tightly and pretend to be excited and shouted:

"Everyone is here!"

Sera, with thunder lingering all over her body and exuding extraordinary aura, looked at the crowd of drow elves with a smile, and said in a calm and confident tone:

"Welcome, we in the city of Azshara love trading, the goods are genuine and fair."

Well, just make some hard-earned money!

1,000 kilograms of grain can be exchanged for 1 gram of fine gold worth 800 gold coins.

If you buy 1 kilogram of grain at the price of 1 copper coin in the Gulf Territory, 1,000 kilograms of grain only costs 1,000 copper coins, which is equivalent to 10 silver coins and 1 gold coin!

Ha, it’s only 8,000 times the profit!
