Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 852 Departure to the Underground World

Luck always comes with you. When Lin En took the city guards to count the supplies sent by Chang'an Town, good news came from the undead... They finally found a place suitable for large teams to enter. underground passage.

The Queen of the White Dragon actually knew this road a long time ago, but she has been trying to see if there is a passage in other places... After all, this road is actually located under the lair of 'White Death' Arauzato.

Before the ancient white dragon willingly moved to the Hidden Forest, Alvia Tulais didn't want to annoy her partner, although he was definitely not the opponent of the Trashiel elves, so he had no choice but to move away , but Alvia Tules still hopes to give her wife who has sheltered her for so many years a dignified ending.

However, after seeing the increasingly irritable mood of the Trassil elves who set out to search the southwest corner of the Spine of the World with some white dragons, Alvia Tulais was really worried that they would finally find Arauza The cliff that was entrusted.

Fortunately, after the first batch of white dragons who contracted with the undead got their first month's reward, Arauzato was finally tempted: the ancient white dragon might not be willing to make a contract with anyone, but he planned to learn from mercury. Longta Siting, stay in the Hidden Forest to accept some temporary employment tasks.

In Arausato's opinion, he is worth more than that annoying mercury dragon!
So without hesitation, he took his wealth and moved to a mountain peak on the bank of the big lake named 'Lake of Stars' in the Hidden Forest, and became a neighbor of the Hidden Town a kilometer away.

The Queen of the White Dragon asked Arauzato about that road's plan after he moved: Generally speaking, this road is the main traffic route for the White Death to rush to the underground world to rob when he feels that he is short of money.

But for the white dragon who is not very good at mining by himself, the underground world is not so easy to grab... Even though Arausator is a great dragon, there are many forces in the underground world that can hurt him.

Moreover, no matter how restrained Arauzato is, because of his appearance, many weak forces would not dare to move here... It is becoming more and more difficult to grab.

So it was easy for Arauzato to give up... He had already accepted the first mission, and took a group of Trasil elves to say hello to the old mist dragon that lived on the coast of Luskan, In the end, he got a promise that he must be safe and honest.

It is impossible for Alvia Tulais to do this kind of thing... That fog dragon Saragiut is much stronger than her, and she used to only irritate Sarajuet.

But Arauzato was able to communicate with Sarajute... After all, the two of them had cooperated during the Dragon Madness: they robbed Luskan's Arcane Brotherhood together while they were insane, and they cooperated very tacitly according to the needs. Divide the books in that magic tower equally.

This crazy pattern is also quite strange.

Then this task of communicating with friends from the past was very rewarding, enough for Arauzato to get 1 gold... After all, this guy is an ancient dragon. According to the salary table William designed for Bailong, he only needs to accept the task , is the highest level of remuneration.

So 'White Death' thinks that even if the Trassil elves only stay in Toril for 80 years, he can still earn enough money for retirement... As for the underground passage, does it have anything to do with him?
No matter how many entanglements there are... When Hill sent the underground resource map given by the Huber family to the alchemy hall, William had already begun to calculate when it would be the most suitable time to enter the underground world. Mana recovery potion... This master alchemist has a deep understanding of the undead, and for them with a large number of priests, mana recovery is the most important thing.

As for the blood-replenishing potion, Fran actually researched some that are better than Trashiel's, but he doesn't think it's suitable for the undead... Supplementing the elemental body is not the same thing as restoring the flesh and blood body.

William borrowed some more dexterous puppets from Hill to place the small diamond-shaped crystals separated from the time-space artifact. Although the abilities of these clones are discounted, at least they can be used as task tools for the undead. and revive near it.

William was overjoyed when he received the information given by Hill... He was also worried that the energy spar he sent to the Space-Time Artifact would not be able to provide the energy to split so many times!
The Mirabar dwarves did give him a lot of information, but they had been away from the ground for too long, and at most they could still remember some distribution maps of the minerals. William was not sure when the undead would have to find the Dilro dwarves down there.

But now, according to the information Hill brought, he can save as much energy as possible and arrange the resurrection point... Corellon had warned him that it would be best to send things into Toril three years later.

Otherwise, maybe AO will directly expel the undead from this world.

The current situation, the father of the elves also finds it inconceivable... The undead have caused so many things, but AO has not shown any dissatisfaction at all!

After hearing Corellon's words, William felt that he could raise the importance of Edna further.

When this girl was 16 years old, she was probably about to embark on the path of destiny... He specifically asked the undead not to dictate the little girl Edna's relationship in Toril... You can give her advice, but you can't force her Do things according to the rules of the undead world.

What if the unpleasant friend who appears next to Edna one day is the Midnight Mystra?

William thought maliciously: With Midnight's style, how could someone from the undead like her?

No matter what kind of world it is, insisting on justice is of course worthy of admiration, but the justice she insists on is crooked, and she also asks people around her to act according to this crooked way, which is annoying...

"William." Hill on the other side of the Time-Space Artifact interrupted his thoughts, "I need a screen where I can see the progress of the undead in the underground world in my study, preferably a bigger one."

He showed a gentle smile: "In exchange, those puppets you borrowed don't have to return me."

They both knew very well that there was no possibility of returning the puppet sent underground...It's just that William was embarrassed to ask Hill if he could pay the bill later, so he made up this excuse.

When the delivery is available next time, William will definitely turn this loan into a purchase.

But Hill felt that this was meaningless. The puppets Fran gave him were enough for Aglaia and the alien whale to use internally. The puppets he gave William were ordinary puppets he made in the past... After observing Fran's After the finished product, Hill had lost interest in this batch.

The only thing worth mentioning about his puppets is that they are strong enough, but this is also the reason William will take a fancy to these puppets.

After thinking about it for a while, William readily agreed. Based on his understanding of Hill, such a trivial matter was indeed not worth Hill's concern.

He asked the time-space artifact to separate a crystal box: "This thing can be connected to my giant screen... It is similar to the one in your previous territory, but because the element content on Toril's side is relatively weak, I have weakened it somewhat. With the effect of a little connector, the three-dimensional screen released now can be expanded to at most two meters wide and three meters long."

Hill laughed: "It's enough to watch in the living room."

"As long as you are satisfied." William replied softly, smiling slightly.

The relationship between him and Hill seems to have repaired a bit, and Hill is willing to ask him again... Although he doesn't know what changed his friend's mind, William doesn't intend to get to the bottom of it, it's always a good development.

When Lin En knew that the undead were about to go underground, his first reaction was to seize the time and arrange a large number of planting tasks... Although the spring breeze is still a bit harsh, the plants in Hill's territory have always grown vigorously.

Of course, the undead would not give up such a valuable task, and hurried back to Aglaia from Luskan and the hidden town.

It was completely impossible for Luskan to count on the undead to work, and it would take at least a month before the spring plowing started.

Lila had no choice but to recruit civilians to farm the land, or even hire the Mirabar dwarves who had formed an alliance with the undead to open some blacksmiths and other shops in Luskan.

But Lynn thinks that Lila may want to do this more... She seems to want to build an independent territory from scratch... Considering that her twin sons are likely to inherit the Supreme Wasteland one day. Lynn can understand the lady's plan in the so-called city of hope where there is only a magic tower left in ruins.

Although this means that cities like Luskan may be incompatible with other territories of Aglaia in many ways, but he also heard Hill mention that cities like Luskan are relatively important and are particularly prone to troubles. Well, Hill didn't really want to be more involved, otherwise, he wouldn't have directly handed it over to Leila, a follower of Mystra.

Hearing Miril mention many stories about the past, Lynn quite agrees with Hill's approach. The elves have participated too much in the past, and they became what they are now.

On the first day of the Torilian equinox celebrations, the undead marched up the Spine of the World in long lines.

Hill sat in the study surrounded by a group of goblins and watched the march of the undead: Fran and Lynn only planned to come and take a look after the official fight.

The place where the undead entered the towering mountains was the long-abandoned path on the other side of the hidden forest, which only allowed five or six people to walk abreast.

This road is closer to Arausator's former lair...you can imagine why it was abandoned.

But it happened that the Toril people would not be aware of their movements too early.

The mountain road is steep and there are many cliffs, and the snow on the Spine of the World will only melt in midsummer. Climbing up the cliff at an almost 45-degree angle in the White Dragon's Lair caused many careless undead to fall down. It won't fall to your death... The result of slipping is just to follow the last of the team and climb again.

The only bad thing is the shots of those war reporters gloating.
