Grey Dwarves are basically similar to other Dwarves, but there are a few differences. For example, dark vision can see farther, fear bright light, strengthen the body, immunity to alchemy toxins, and when you become an adult, you will also gain two types of spell abilities, "invisible" and "gigantic", and a very small number of individuals have even evolved psychic abilities.

Of course, this qiē was not obtained for nothing, but was born after a long period of slavery and various inhumane experiments.

The Soul Flayer city of Orlindor in the Shadows is believed to be the birthplace of the living Grey Dwarves. According to the legend of the Grey Dwarves, the Durga tribe was exiled by other dwarves thousands of years ago, and later they were enslaved by the Mind Flayer and became part of the slave army.

The Mind Flayers wanted to create a kind of slave who would be loyal to them, and after countless generations of mutilation and death, the Durgas gradually became a new subspecies of Dwarves. But in the end, the gray dwarves broke free from their psychic control and fled from the city of Olindor. They have not forgotten these histories and trained their soldiers with tactics designed to deal with the Mind Flayer.

Under the influence of the Mind Flayer, the Grey Dwarves have become vicious, cruel, and cunning, becoming the second most powerful race in the Underworld after the Dark Elves. They had formed a brief alliance with each other to wage war against the surface elves, but as the war ended, this alliance ceased to exist.

It can be said that the gray dwarves and the dark elves are strikingly similar, they are also banished by their own cousins, they also hate all other intelligent beings except themselves, and they also have very powerful natural abilities. The only difference is that they are more willing to follow order, so most of the gray dwarves' faction is evil order. It's a little easier to get along with than the chaotic Dark Elves.

Although these evil dwarves do not have a good reputation. But they're the only ones who can navigate between Mind Flayers, Underground Gnomes, Dark Elves, and even the Lair of the Beholder. A smart creature that buys and sells all kinds of scarce materials and earns a lot of profits.

There are some powerful gray dwarf caravans that can sometimes do business on the surface, and reach mutually beneficial agreements with some big nobles and evil forces, using slaves, precious metals, precious stones, high-quality weapons and armor and other specialties unique to the earth, in exchange for food, wine, magic scrolls, bacon and other goods on the surface.

After all, in the underground, food is always the most scarce material, and there is no one. Any caravan that was able to establish a steady trade with the surface of the earth would undoubtedly grow rapidly, and sometimes even the ruler of a city would have to rely on them.

Carrig is a two-hundred-and-fifty-year-old. A gray dwarf in the prime of life. He had been following caravans through dangerous and dark terrain since he was about forty years old, before his beard had grown, and was now the leader of an independent caravan, carefully running his own business.

I have to say that this guy has been trading in such a dangerous and dark region for more than two hundred years and has not died due to various dangers and accidents, which can be called an incredible miracle.

After so many years of running around, he summed up a set of experiences in dealing with people:

First, never take the initiative to cause trouble, and never wave weapons when you can spend money to solve things.

Article 2. Treat everyone fairly, because you never know what the other person will be like in a few years.

Article 3. In any case, life is the most important, money and goods can be earned again when they are gone, but even if they have more money, they can't spend it.

It was with this set that Carig started from scratch at the age of two hundred, and in just fifty years, he saved a large number of possessions, and even formed a merchant guard of more than ten people, which is also a small reputation in this area.

Suddenly, he spotted the succubus standing in the middle of the road in front of him, and hurriedly raised his hand to signal the convoy to stop. All the grey dwarf warriors raised their shields and drew their weapons and stood in front of Lothmon, forming a thin human wall, watching cautiously ahead, neither taking the initiative to attack nor showing any weakness.

Demons may be able to intimidate most surface creatures, but they are not uncommon in the Dark Regions. Passages to the lower planes are often found in the deepest part of the area, so it's not unusual to encounter a few once in a while. Especially in front of him, there is still a succubus who is not very strong in battle, so although the gray dwarves are a little nervous, they are not afraid.

The two sides were at a stalemate for a while, and the leader of the caravan, Kalig, found that the demon in front of him had no intention of attacking, so he took two steps forward, touched his chest with one hand and bowed slightly: "Honorable lady, why are you blocking our way?" If you can, I'm willing to offer some merchandise as a gift. ”

"Humph! Keep your goods, the master and his companions are resting ahead, and no stranger will be allowed to approach for the time being. As he spoke, Necis threatenedly swung the long whip of flame in his hand twice, marking two orange-red whip marks in the air, which looked very powerful.

She had originally planned to launch a surprise attack and slaughter the caravan in front of her. However, when he got closer, there were more than ten people on the other side, and all of them were gray dwarf warriors, so he decisively abandoned this idea and used words to threaten instead.

"Master?" Keen to notice the word, Carrig squinted his eyes and looked closely behind the succubus, and in an instant he spotted the hut standing beside the road.

With many years of experience in business, he immediately understood what was going on, and without hesitation, he bowed again and asked, "Beautiful lady, I wonder if I have the honor to meet your master?" ”

Nesses sneered and mocked mercilessly, "It's up to you? A lowly gray dwarf deserves to meet his master? Stop dreaming! Get out of here! If you disturb your master's rest, I guarantee you'll immediately appreciate the cruelest death in the world. ”

Seeing that the negotiation failed, Carlig sighed helplessly and said to the succubus: "Okay, then let's camp here first, and wait for your master to rest, so it's all right?" ”

"Humph! As you see fit. Remember, if you make noises that wake up your owner, one counts as one, and all of them don't want to get out of here alive. After Naxis said this, he said. The little devil behind the rock beckoned. Then he turned and returned to the door of the hut.

The combination of demons and demons instantly thundered all the gray dwarves in the caravan. Especially Carrig, who stood at the front. He grew up and muttered to himself, "Damn! Is it my dazzled or is this world too crazy, the demons have actually begun to cooperate with the devil, is the end of the world coming? ”

"Head, what are we going to do now?" Another grey dwarf warrior leaned up and whispered.

"What else can I do? Camp in place and wait! Are you still going to work hard? ”

Carrig gave the other party an angry look. Although there are more than a dozen heavily armed warriors on his side, it is still quite difficult to deal with a succubus and two little devils, not to mention that the other party also mentions the master, obviously, there must be other people in the house that suddenly appeared.

The gray dwarf warrior scratched his head in embarrassment: "Okay. I'm going to have everyone camp on the spot. ”

"Let everybody move, I don't want to annoy the guys on the other side. You must know that anyone who can drive a succubus is basically a very powerful spellcaster, and once the fire starts, we will die. Carrig cautiously admonished.

He had seen many evil dark elf mages before, so he knew how terrifying it was for the caster to go crazy, not to mention his own caravans, and half the city would be reduced to ruins under the powerful magic.

Under the command of the caravan leader, the Grey Dwarves surrounded the city by connecting several wagons end-to-end, and drove several Loothmon to the nearby stalagmites to eat moss. They sat quietly and ate hard food, waiting quietly for Henry and his party to wake up.

Twenty hours passed. Since there is no day or night, everyone sleeps extra soundly. It was not until the body and spirit were fully restored that they woke up one after another.

Since Henry had exhausted all his strength before going to bed, he was the last of the crowd to open his eyes and get up. A day and a night of lethargy not only allowed the body to be fully rested, but also regained the used spell and magic positions, which could be used up to deal with all kinds of sudden crises at any time.

Just as he was about to clean up his personal hygiene, Naiss, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly approached and whispered, "Master, the caravan of gray dwarves came while you were sleeping, and I stopped them, not far ahead. ”

"Oh? Grey Dwarf Caravan! How's the scale? Henry's eyes lit up and he immediately asked.

You know, he's worried about what identity he should use to enter Uster. In Nasa City, I didn't expect someone to bring a pillow just after I fell asleep. There is no doubt that caravan guards or mercenaries are a good choice, not only to hide their identities well, but also to move easily, and almost without arousing anyone's suspicion.

After all, in the city of the dark elves, there are not many groups that give their lives to whoever has more money, and if they are excellent, they can also enter the aristocratic class, whether it is to inquire about the news or rescue Allen, they can get a lot of convenience.

"Hmph, a small caravan with only about ten people and a few wagons." Nesses pursed his lips disdainfully.

Hearing that the size of the caravan was not large, the corners of Henry's mouth turned up slightly, and he immediately ordered: "Invite the leaders of these gray dwarves in, I have a business to talk to them." ”

Apparently not expecting such an order from his master, Nesses was slightly stunned for a moment, then quickly saluted and turned to leave the house. Although she didn't understand the purpose of doing this, she didn't hesitate to carry it out.

"You're not planning to use this caravan to enter the city of the Dark Elves, are you? I have to give you a word of advice, the Grey Dwarves are a cunning group of merchants who will sell you without mercy if they have enough profits. Viconia had apparently heard the conversation and walked over to whisper a reminder.

"Don't worry, the dark elves will definitely not give the conditions I can give, so there will be no question of possible betrayal." With a faint smile on his face, Henry looked full of confidence......
