Chapter 101 Robbery

The surface of the earth is indeed much more prosperous than the underground, including the species richness, which is also many times higher than the underground.

The underground world is due to its dangerous environment and relatively simple ecology.

The animals and plants living there are either extremely tolerant of the bitter cold, or individually have great fighting ability.

There are basically no gentle and weak creatures.

But the surface is different.

In just three days before Thane emerged from the underground, he had slapped teeth on countless strange little creatures.

Of course, these creatures are basically ordinary animals, there are very few demonized creatures, and Warcraft are also relatively rare.

Most of the demonized creatures and monsters on the surface live in dense mountains and forests, and these places are often called "Warcraft Forests."

After Thane left the underground, most of the terrain he saw were plains and hills.

Even if there are some forests, they are relatively small and there don't seem to be any powerful monsters.

"The Underdark is wider than I imagined."

"The underground world where the city of Menzobra was located before was just a corner of the underground space in the Underdark."

After looking at the magic map left to him by his mentor Moses, and roughly judging where he was, Thane couldn't help but sigh.

After three days of non-stop traveling, according to the itinerary on the map, Thain seemed to have only advanced a short distance within the Underdark.

If this rate continues, it will take at least half a year for Thane to reach the north of the Underdark.

"It's a pity that this place still belongs to the territory of the black magicians. The search and investigation of the nearby areas by the Holy Tower magicians and surface knights should continue."

"Otherwise, if Qi is used as a substitute, the progress will definitely be much faster." Thain thought.

Although judging from the map distance, Thane still has a long way to go to the north of the Underdark.

But Thain himself was not discouraged in any way. Instead, he increasingly enjoyed everything in front of him and appreciated the past along the way.

The Underdark is a no-nonsense zone, and its population density is less dense than other areas of the Wizarding World.

Coupled with the fact that black magicians have been causing trouble all year round, the overall stability is relatively poor, and population loss and migration often occur.

…

As Thane continued to move forward, he passed through several human cities.

seem

There is no ordinary human kingdom here in the Underdark, and these cities are often divided into autonomous regions.

Including nobles, they only regarded themselves as the lords of a city, or held important positions in the city.

Thain didn't know whether these nobles were really related to the magicians, but when passing through those human cities, he did find some movement of magical elements.

It's just that Thain has a special status and did not take the initiative to contact those suspected spell casters.

He didn't even enter the city, he almost walked around the city.

Sure enough, whether underground or on the surface, formal magicians above the first level are extremely rare and powerful beings.

After traveling for a month, Thain did not see anyone above a formal magician.

Including the several magic ripples he discovered when he passed through those human cities, it was judged that they were only at the apprentice level, maybe not as strong as him.

"I don't know what the overall strength of the magicians on the surface is. The Holy Tower must be a place where spellcasters from all departments gather. Including the strength of the apprentices there, it is estimated to be higher than the Black Magic Academy I was in before."

"But apart from the Holy Tower, what about the magicians in other ordinary areas?" Walking on the road, Thain couldn't help but lowered his head and muttered.

"Hey! Boy, hand over everything you have on you!" A loud shout interrupted Thain's thinking.

At some point, five strong men appeared in front of Thane, holding axes and swords, with their chests exposed and wearing animal skins.

Including Thain, three people appeared from behind him at some point, vaguely blocking his retreat.

The Underdark is a well-known no-nonsense zone. No country has been established here, so the security is extremely chaotic.

This is the third robbery that Thain has suffered in a month.

The security situation near cities where humans live is slightly better. The city lords and nobles will dispatch their own private troops to clean up the surrounding areas from time to time.

However, once you get away from the city, all kinds of troubles will follow.

Thieves and robbers are common features in this area. The instructor once said that the gray organizations on the surface of the Underdark have a certain connection with the black magicians in Mensobra City.

Could it be these things?

Thain couldn't help but shook his head, probably not.

Those who can establish a relationship with the black magician must be a relatively large-scale thieves group.

Now that the black magicians in Mensobra City are facing annihilation, it is estimated that the thieves groups are also

It is the key target of the magicians of the Holy Tower.

Thain has only encountered some minor robberies during this period, probably because the larger groups were easily taken over by the powerful magicians of the Holy Tower.

Thain's lowered head and silence at this time made the five robbers blocking him feel a little confused and slightly uncomfortable.

Those who can walk alone on the mountain trails in the Dark Territory are generally not ordinary people.

These eight bandits have been working together for several years. At first, they were twelve people.

Those injured brothers encountered so-called hard trouble during the robbery.

Due to various factors, the five of them have been able to work until now, and they have indeed made a small fortune.

"Brother, look at his arms." A thin and shrewd robber approached the strongest of the men and pointed at Thain.

At this time, Thain's clothes were still his clothes in the underground world.

There were several holes in the black magic robe, making him look a little ragged.

What was stuck in Thane's arms at this time was his acid cane.

These bandits have been working for several years and have seen a lot.

But they still couldn't figure out the specific situation of Thain. How could those noble magicians look like this if they were not in gorgeous robes.

Moreover, most of the magicians they have seen are older, and there are no such young ones.

While the leaders of these bandits were thinking, Thane took action.

The robbers in front of me are almost all ordinary people.

The fear of black magicians and black magic apprentices among ordinary people in the city of Mensobra has been deeply rooted in their hearts.

It is estimated that only on the surface of the earth would ordinary people dare to rob a magic apprentice, even if he is just a suspected apprentice.

The appearance of three slightly smaller secondary fireballs caused the expressions of the bandits before and after Thain to change drastically.

As soon as he shouted "Spare my life", Thain's fireball technique shot away.

At this time, Thain did not want to make any big noise.

Therefore, these weakened versions of his secondary fireballs are more for deterrence and dispersal, and have no real intention to kill.

Including the two robbers he encountered before, they mostly drove them away.

But what Thain didn't expect this time was that among this group of plain-looking ordinary robbers, there was one who mastered fighting spirit.
