Uster. Nasa was the first gathering place built by the Dark Elves from the surface of the earth to the Dark Lands, and is also known as the First City or the First City. This is a very important symbol in history, representing their official break with the surface elves, the elven god system was divided into two, among which the wife of the main god Corellon, Elosine, rebelled, changed her name to the spider goddess Rose, and went to the bottomless abyss to establish her own kingdom "Pit Magic Web".

It can be said that since then, the powerful elven empire suppressed on the top of all races has completely collapsed, and human civilization has begun to rise strongly, spreading all over the continent in just a few thousand years, and finally forcing the elves to retreat to the overseas Yongju Island, and only a small number of wood elves and moon elves hidden in the depths of the forest still live in ancient cities.

In a sense, Rose and her wicked people should be appreciated by the other races on the surface, not discriminated against and wary of for no reason. It is precisely because of their rebellion that the elves have been greatly damaged that the human race has enough time to study the Nexera Scroll and open up a glorious magical civilization, otherwise I am afraid that it would have been suppressed by the extremely powerful elven empire.

Of course, there are also a lot of political factors in this. The reason why the reputation of the dark elves can withstand the wind and smell for ten miles is not only related to their capricious style, but also the promotion of the surface elves.

Henry had seen quite a few elves or half-elves, and the mention of their subterranean cousins would go on and on for hours, without a good word in it.

You must know that many surface elves have integrated into human society, just imagine, a handsome man or a beautiful woman with good manners and elegant manners. The same evil race that has only been seen in books. Who would you believe? I'm afraid most people will not hesitate to choose the former.

There is a good saying. A lie told a thousand times becomes the truth. Under the subtle influence of the surface elves, most of the surface dwellers are convinced of this, and with the evil deeds committed by the dark elf commandos from all over the world from time to time, I am afraid that most rulers dare not have anything to do with them except for the truly notorious organizations.

During their journey, the famous ranger Trist and his friends wanted to enter the library of Silvermoon City to find information, but they were ruthlessly turned away. Although later Erastro himself came forward to explain and give limited help. But this just shows how bad the reputation of the dark elves in the Northland is, and even this fair lady of hope does not dare to accept it in public, for fear of being misunderstood by the rulers of other city-states.

As a time-traveler, Henry didn't look at the dark elves with tinted glasses like most people do. In his eyes, these guys are nothing more than losers in some political struggles, and it is a matter of course to be smeared. If Lady Rose's conspiracy had succeeded, the situation would have been reversed.

It is an eternal truth that history is written by the victors. In all the books recorded by the elves, the dark elves are accurately portrayed as the embodiment of evil and greed, and the culprits of killing their fellow citizens.

But in reality, they are only trying to get more benefits for themselves. Just like the European Age of Discovery, use the army to occupy more markets. Maintain their trade from the prying eyes of others. Can this also be said to be evil? In this case, I am afraid that all the countries on the earth are truly evil, and billions of people should be killed.

Obviously, the evil and twisted behavior of the dark elves was formed little by little after entering the dark realm, and before that they were just a group of normal elves, but they were just on the wrong side in a violent political storm.

After more than a day's long journey, the caravan finally arrived in Uster. Take the city. It has to be said that the dark elves' entry into the city is very strict, from the beginning of entering the outskirts of the city, almost every ten minutes or so, they will encounter a wave of patrols, and the goods on the car are repeatedly inspected no less than ten times, and finally they are allowed to pass through the huge city gate made of pure gold.

"Damn! These bastards are so greedy that I just stuffed a hundred gold coins before I let them go. Caravan leader Kalig cursed with a pained expression.

There is no way, if you want to do business in the city of dark elves, you must be mentally prepared for this. They will use all kinds of tricks to take advantage of it, and some of the unlucky ones will even go bankrupt because of it. However, there are a lot of magic items that can be purchased here, so even if you know that you will suffer a lot of damage, there will still be a steady stream of caravans.

"Don't worry, dear Mr. Employer, I'm sure you'll be able to make a hundredfold and a thousand times more profit than this." Henry smiled and said meaningfully.

Carrig laughed and nodded, "Hahahaha!" That's right, I'm going to make a fortune. Let's go, Nim, and let me take you to the market at the entrance to pick up two handy weapons and sell some more goods by the way. ”

Although this is not the first time he has entered the city of the dark elves, Henry can't help but be fascinated by the strange sights here. Uster. Nasa was built on top of a myriad of giant stalagmites, connected by stone bridges between platforms, and was home to many inhabitants and warriors, including several giant spiders.

It can be said that this is a city in the sky built underground, and below the stalagmites is a dark abyss with no end in sight, and it is not known how deep it is. Anyway, Henry quietly threw a small stone down, and he didn't hear the bottom at all.

"It's such a good place to kill people and destroy corpses." Henry sighed in his heart.

In his opinion, this is simply a place for intrigue and intrigue, and he doesn't even have to kill people himself, as long as he pushes hard, except for the mage who has the ability to fly, there is no possibility of survival at all.

Just as the caravan entered the market platform, suddenly there was a "pop" sound not far ahead, followed by another scream. A gray dwarf with a slave mark on his cheek was seen lying on the ground, and there was a collapsed shelf next to it.

"These are precious commodities, you idiot! Be careful! The Dark Elf Warrior cursed loudly as he brandished his whip.

"Please, master! I haven't eaten in almost a week......" the gray dwarf begged as he knelt on the ground.

The iliac bones on his face are bulging, and his eye sockets are deeply sunken, which is due to malnutrition due to long-term lack of food, especially his hands are still trembling, and he looks extremely miserable, even a slightly sympathetic person will not hesitate to give a little food.

But it's a pity that this guy's owner is a dark elf, one of the few races in the entire multiverse that can be on par with the abyss demons. He directly drew his weapon and sneered: "Hmph! Stop talking nonsense! You're not much use anyway. ”

As soon as the words were finished, all the onlookers saw a flash of cold light, and the poor gray dwarf became a headless corpse, and his head was kicked off the platform as a ball.

"Hahaha! Well done, you should be tough on those lowly slaves! ”

"That's right! What are the slaves left to do if they can't work! ”

……

All of a sudden, the onlookers applauded, and the atmosphere suddenly became enthusiastic. They vented their accumulated depression to their heart's content, and kept saying nonsense in their mouths, all of them as if they wished that they were the ones who had just done it.

Henry stood with the caravan and watched the farce with cold eyes. He didn't feel anything about the death of the gray dwarf slave. It is a world where the weak can only survive with the mercy of the strong. Just as a bird wants to eat bugs, a carnivore wants to eat herbivores, and if you want to control your own destiny, then you have to desperately become stronger, jump out of the chessboard and become a chess player, even the weakest.

It may sound very cruel, but it's just the way it is. This is true even on Earth. Those who have money and power are always privileged, and the law is a plaything in their hands, and when they need it, they pick it up and preach the supremacy of the law, and everyone must strictly abide by the law.

As a man of neutrality, Henry never felt that there was anything to be fussed about, and he tried to climb the ladder without wanting to be weakling, complaining that it would not solve anything.

He now undoubtedly possesses enough power to be one of the many chess players in this world, and to look at things from a perspective that goes beyond good and evil, to the essence hidden within the superficial phenomena.

What if you save this gray dwarf, Ust. Nasa can be said to be full of dangers, and a malnourished gray dwarf can be killed at any time. Of course, he can also choose to leave the city, but that means facing a more hostile living environment, an endless stream of monsters, and maybe die faster and more painfully.

Many times this is the case when he is kind of doing something wrong, so when there is no guarantee that he will help someone to the end, Henry prefers to be a bystander rather than rashly involved.

For him, it is more important than anything to let reason prevail over emotion, as long as reason prevails, people can make correct judgments, otherwise they will become an impulsive fool, being played by others.

Aberdale is the best example of this. He's a guy who makes judgments based on emotion and intuition, and he's been played by the enemy from beginning to end, and if it weren't for Henry's joining, I'm afraid that the current adventure buddies would not only be Dinahei and Khaled.

As one of the highest-ranking spellcasters on the Main Plane, Henry undoubtedly had the right to change the fate of others. But possession is one thing, use is another. Those who have nothing to do with their own interests, he will never even look at them, no matter how pitiful the other party is, no matter how worthy of sympathy, it is useless.

This is the path of absolute neutrality, looking at the world with a cold eye, whether it is tragedy or comedy, as long as it is connected with itself, it is not careful. Many druids follow this philosophy, maintaining a delicate balance between good and evil, order and chaos in the world...... (To be continued......)
