How come there are drow here? Shouldn't there be more fire elemental monsters waiting for them ahead? After hesitating for a few seconds, the two scorpions hurriedly reported the name of their tribe.

The figure opposite seemed a little hesitant, and then actually jumped down.

"I'm from the Bear Tribe. Why are you here?"

Once again, she began to ask why Carl and others were here.

"We came from Obsidian City, how about you?"

Scorpion explained his origins very frankly and also asked about the other party's purpose.

At this point, she had already noticed some strange problems.

For example, the lava here is almost gone, and judging from the environment, there shouldn't be a large number of fire monsters.

Also, since no drow in Obsidian City has escaped yet, why do they know that the entire passage is guarded by fire elemental monsters?

Combining the Soul Blade Drow of the envelope spirit that appeared in front of him, a bold idea appeared in Scorpion's mind.

"Could it be that the fire giants intentionally spread the news about this tunnel? They knew they couldn't control this place, and they may have encountered fierce battles while exploring, so they built a fire dwarf fortress that was far beyond the ordinary specifications at that location."

If this is the case, Scorpion feels that the fire giants in Obsidian City might be weaker than he expected.

"Now that I think about it, Galian never mentioned the level of the warlocks in Obsidian City, nor did he mention the level of their leader."

Thinking of this, Scorpion knocked his head and felt that everyone was like a strong man who was scared by a Chihuahua and ran away two blocks.

Of course, judging by the behavior of the fire giants above Obsidian City, they are probably much more powerful than Chihuahuas.

A feeling of regret surged in Scorpion's heart. She now hoped that Carl would turn around and fight with Obsidian City.

Maybe Carl will hand over the Obsidian City to her and Bane to manage in the future.

Just as he was thinking about this good thing, Carl arrived with Bane and others.

"Do you know each other?"

Looking at the drow hiding in the darkness, Carl asked hesitantly.

The drow in the dark were dressed very similarly to Shadow's original outfit.

"Human! You are fallen!"

Almost at the moment of seeing Carl, those drow ran towards the tunnel behind them at a rapid speed as if they had confirmed something.

But Carl's nitrogen acceleration is much faster than theirs.

In just a blink of an eye, Carl blocked their way and summoned the Skyfire Optimus Prime mecha to block their way.

With a look of some grief and anger at the two Fallen behind them, the group of drow looked at Carl who had taken off his helmet and uniform, and psychic power lit up in their palms again.

However, the next second, these drow were stunned.

Because densely packed constructs have climbed up both sides of the tunnel.

The muzzle of the gun, which was thicker than their waists, was now aimed at them, as if they would be killed if they showed any hostility.

Following his heart, the leading drow dispelled the spiritual energy in his hands.

But she seemed to have misunderstood something. When she saw Carl coming, she declared that she would rather die than surrender, just like a female knight captured by a monster.

"Gu~! We won't betray our companions! Kill us!"

At this moment, Carl thought of an anime with a fascinating plot that he had watched in his previous life.

The plot about the dark-skinned elf queen somehow overlapped with what was happening before my eyes.

By removing his helmet, Carl tried to show some goodwill in this way.

He was not afraid that the other party would rush up and hold him hostage.

His power armor boots have the infusion of Recursive Boots, which allows him to flash within a certain range.

"Humph! You just want to turn us into those self-degrading guys, but you are blind! We are determined warriors and will never..."

…

"Ah~, I confess! I confess everything! Please, please! Great Master! I am willing to dedicate everything to you! Please let me be free!"

Storm Bay, the venue for actor auditions.

In the square, a somewhat pretty girl was acting out a plot from the novel in which one of the protagonist's companions was captured by the enemy and was planning to surrender because he could not bear the punishment.

The original plot actually involves some scenes that are not suitable for children, but since this is done in public, it is impossible to act out all of them, so the only option is to rely on the professional skills of the actresses to create that atmosphere.

At present, the appearance of this female adventurer is not particularly outstanding, but perhaps because she worked part-time as a call girl in a tavern, her voice has a kind of charm that makes men unable to help but bow.

"Good! Advance!"

Without any hesitation, a judge pressed the button on the seat, causing a check mark to appear on the display screen in front of the seat.

This was naturally also the plot designed by Carl.

The audition competition itself can be considered a program that can effectively enrich the poor spiritual lives of those tired adventurers.

This square has been simply transformed by engineering structures and has become a place similar to a large gymnasium.

Most of the adventurers in Storm Bay were sitting around, and everyone was watching with great interest. From time to time, they would pick up the scoring device next to their seat to "vote" their favorite actors.

Of course, this list does not require payment, and one person can only play once per game.

Popular contestants either live up to the original work, have realistic acting skills, or are good-looking.

Some people have indeed tried to cheat, but there are checks and balances between the judges and the audience.

Previously, someone tried to seduce the judges with her beauty, but the audience didn't buy it.

After all, it doesn't seem credible for a female half-orc to play the famous beauty in the original work.

Of course, there were also many people who wanted to see the intimate scene between the handsome bard who had almost secured the leading role and the female orc, so they cast their precious votes.

The auditions were going on enthusiastically, and offstage, Joanna, who had finally found some time, was following her cousin Cassia to the Sheriff's Bureau.

Although those nobles had caused her a lot of trouble and made her want to throw them all into the sea to feed the fish, she still planned to come and take a look if something like this really happened to them.

But as soon as she approached the police station, Joanna heard the sound of fighting coming from inside.

After looking at her cousin, Joanna put on heavy armor for the first time in a long time and picked up the flail.

Joanna and Kasha quickly arrived at the door of the Sheriff's Bureau, looked at each other, and then suddenly opened the door.

"Don't move! Be quiet!"

The golden sacred power surged around the two of them, but the scene before them made them feel a little overwhelmed for a moment.

In the hall, Mitris was whipping several young sheriffs with a whip.

These sheriffs had red faces, blurry eyes, and looked intoxicated.
