The Dragon Princess Who Traveled Through Another World - Chapter 223
Chapter 223 Deep Water City
Charlie opened his eyes in a daze, and what he saw was not his familiar nest, nor was he lying on a fluffy feather pillow…
After waking up, I realized that I was in a camping tent.
Turning over, Charlie realized that what he regarded as a pillow turned out to be His Highness’s belly in the form of a young black dragon.
The baby dragon’s belly is soft, unlike an adult dragon, even if it is cut with a legendary giant sword, there may not be a scratch.
In other words, the hard outer skin of the abdomen of an adult dragon is also the top material for inner armor.
It’s really unexpected, how could such a soft belly as a baby dragon become an excellent armor material that is hard to find when it grows up?
Thinking, Charlie poked His Highness’s stomach with his fingers.
His Royal Highness, who had already woken up and closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, could no longer pretend. He raised his head and stared at Charlie with his golden eyes.
Charlie’s fingers froze, and he turned around and smiled very naturally, as if he was not the one who studied others as equipment materials just now.
“Your Highness, good morning~”
Alphonstein was a little suspicious. He did feel malicious just now, but seeing Charlie’s bright smile at this time, he could only stand up and walk out of the tent.
All the snacks that Charlie stuffed Artemisia with all his brains had already been wiped out.
Princess Silver Dragon’s eyes brightened when she saw Charlie coming out.
Charlie began to search for the toiletries from the storage ring, and Artemisia came over, without saying a word, but opened her big sapphire blue eyes, looking at Charlie expectantly.
Charlie: “…”
After washing up, Charlie began to prepare breakfast for the three of them.
Milk oatmeal, baked bacon, butter, bread.
While having breakfast, Charlie researched where to find Scorch by the way.
“By the way, do the drow live in scattered places? Just like the goblins, they spread the ‘headquarters’ all over the dungeon. In fact, they want to break it up into pieces to prevent being taken over by other hostile forces.”
It is a bit inaccurate to say that it is a “hostile force”. As the world’s largest profiteer, the little green skins are enemies all over the world, whether they are on the surface or underground.
Artemisia was also a little speechless at this time.
If His Highness and her didn’t follow, it would be strange for this half-blooded drow to be found.
“The drow… are followers of the Spider Queen.” There was something in Artemisia’s words.
Because the last time the Seven Demon Kings ran to Bella to “smash the field”, and finally developed into the gods closing doors and beating dogs, Charlie later used the goblins to inquire about the stories that were not recorded in the epic.
For example, the Demon King once gave a green hat to the main elf god.
The original elf queen was punished by the embarrassing main **** Corellon, and directly became the current half-spider and half-dark elf Queen Rose.
The dark elves also suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck.
As believers of the elf queen at that time, most of the dark elves were also exiled to the dungeon by the main **** Corellon because they believed in the queen who ‘offended’.
Coupled with the crazy bewitching of Rose, the Queen of Spiders, the reputation of the drow elves in the dungeon…
Of course, there are dark elves who are not depraved, such as the few dark elves who believe in Eilistraee.
It’s a pity that the fate was on the line with those poor elves, and Eilistraee fell, and I don’t know what happened to those dark elves now.
Charlie has read many records of belittling the drow elves in the book.
The most important thing is that the **** they believe in is crazy.
The Spider Queen likes her priests to kill each other, and the winner can only please her by stepping on the blood of the loser.
The drow elves are a matriarchal society. If a woman of a big family wants to become the mistress, she must fight to the end according to the spider queen’s wishes and become the only victor before succeeding the family mistress.
Charlie knew Scorch first. To be honest, it was precisely because she knew Scorch who was very awkward when he first arrived in Utopia that she had some doubts about Zall’s records.
I feel that this is not to smear the drow elves behind the elf pantheon.
“The mistresses of drow are all connected.” Artemisia said.
“Find the nearby dungeon first.” His Highness suggested.
There must be traces of drow in the slightly more prosperous dungeons.
At that time, it will not be a problem to find a city that belongs to Drow’s sphere of influence. First find Drow, and then find Scotch.
Plan pass.
After packing up the camp, Charlie and his party went on the road full of energy.
At this time, the advantages of the longevity species are reflected. The world is so big that they have traveled even in the dangerous underground world.
In Alphonse Dine’s memory, there are several locations of dungeons.
If they start south from where they are, at Charlie’s speed of ‘flickering’ throughout the day, they will arrive in three days.
His Royal Highness’ nightly ‘horror story strategy’ isn’t working.
Charlie gained a lot of wisdom, and she stopped sleeping in the tent when talking about sex. She dragged out her sleeping bag and watched Artemisia on the floor.
There is nothing more reassuring than sleeping on the thigh of a subordinate god.
With the taciturn Yinlong girl and His Highness who was quite upset because the plan failed, Charlie did not deviate in the general direction, and finally saw a main city at noon three days later.
“I finally saw the city! This road is sparsely populated, it’s too barren.” Charlie was a little excited because he saw the city.
Artemisia: “…”
Along the way, many guys who coveted the young black dragon were secretly solved by her.
This is not to say that the legend of Charlie is watery, after all, Artemisia is a genuine obedience to God.
Under the perception of her powerful divine network, there is nowhere to hide for any disturbance within a hundred miles.
Obviously, such overprotection is too boring for a newly promoted legendary arcanist.
In her imagination, those bandits blocked the way and were robbed;
None of these good things happened to Charlie, which obviously made her a little disappointed.
No matter what Princess Silver Dragon thought when she made the move, judging from the results, she saved many people.
“…Water Deep City?” Charlie realized the words engraved on the city pool.
“This city is the most famous and richest main city in the underground world.”
“As long as you spend gold coins, you can get any news here.”
Alphonstein said as he searched his memory.
Charlie: “Eh? It looks very powerful… Sure enough, the gatekeeper is also a dragonborn!”
“Well, because the city lord here is a dragon.”
A very special dragon.
At this moment, the lord of Waterdeep City and the merchants lined up in a long line in an orderly manner. They all held a money bag in their hands.
Some purses are bulging, while others are suffocating.
The team is moving forward slowly.
And at the very end of the line is a throne made entirely of gold in the City Lord’s Mansion.
On the throne sits a man smoking a hookah.
The man has black hair, a pair of pointed ears, pale skin, and vertical pupils.
The dragon’s second elf form.
The dragon sitting here is named Sharanlock, the lord of Waterdeep City.
This city lord is very individual even among giant dragons. His only interest is money.
Hobbies, money.
My favorite thing is money.
The most annoying thing, people who owe him money.
In short, he is a man who keeps talking about “money, money and money”, and there is no one in the dungeon who can beat him.
Charlie walked to the gate of the city, but was stopped by the dragon descendants guarding the city.
Princess Silver Dragon restrained her momentum, and now she was wearing a silver-gray cloak, following Charlie inconspicuously.
Charlie was a little confused when he was suddenly stopped.
The dragonborn guarding the city gate seemed to be watching a group of fat sheep about to be slaughtered.
“Guys on the surface, you have to pay the city fee.”
“How much?” Charlie asked nicely.
The two dragon descendants guarding the city looked at each other and said in unison:
“Fifty gold coins.”
“One hundred gold coins!”
Charlie: “…”
At this time, no matter how stupid people are, they know that they seem to be regarded as big fat sheep.
Charlie glanced at them quietly, turned around and left without saying a word.
His Highness narrowed his eyes slightly.
Although he hasn’t been here for a long time, he still hates this place as always.
I knew it would take a few more days to go to another dungeon.
After running away, Charlie squatted down and took out an empty cowhide pocket from the storage ring. It was a small pocket for snacks.
Now the snacks inside have been eaten by Artemisia, leaving only an empty pocket.
Charlie picked up stones on the ground casually, and at the same time, the Ion Stone above her head was constantly shining with purple light.
What you pick up is a stone, and what you throw into your pocket is a shiny gold coin.
After loading two hundred in one breath, Charlie smiled with satisfaction.
jerk!
Let you kill me!
Charlie did not forget to put away the Ion Stone above his head when he returned to the city gate again.
She smiled very innocently and handed over the bulging money bag, and the two dragon descendants who guarded the city took it, and let Charlie and his party enter the city.
Artemisia hesitated to speak several times. Obviously, the honest and kind-hearted Silver Dragon couldn’t bear such a ‘fraud’ behavior.
She can conjure up a large piece of silver to pay for entering the city, if needed.
“Okay! Finally came in, let’s find a hotel to stay in first, I want to die of hot water! And soft beds!”
Behind her, the two defenders of the city had already fought because of the uneven distribution of spoils.
Charlie walked a certain distance, snapped his fingers, and a certain bag of gold coins instantly turned into a bag of stones.
And Charlie, who had already walked into this bustling underground city, smiled, completely unable to see that she had done something bad just now.
The hotel is easy to find, but as long as Charlie walks, he will get a sky-high accommodation fee.
The most outrageous one, the sign behind the boss clearly stated the accommodation fee of one silver coin for one night, but when he saw Charlie, the boss said ten gold coins for one night.
As the city lord of Utopia, Charlie can naturally afford the accommodation fee, but she is very angry at being hacked so blatantly.
Finally, a dragon-born paladin who passed by believed in Bahamut and pursued the creed of going out to do good deeds, so he mentioned Charlie,
“Adventurers from the surface, you should go to the Adventurer’s Association to have a look, otherwise other hotels will ‘hack’ you.”
Charlie is very speechless. In the dungeon, are people who come down from the surface the same as being taken advantage of?
