The new adventurer's guild in the new port area of ​​Storm Bay, the guild master who was wiping the glass, exclaimed in surprise.

Mitris frowned slightly across the counter, then repeated the name she had just said:

"Carl Ayres, an artificer; with him there should be a tiefling and a drow..."

Just as Mitris was about to give some more detailed information, the guild leader suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha...they said they were looking for Carl Iris!"

There was a brief silence in the spacious hall, and then the adventurers sitting in the seats and the people handling business all laughed together.

This strange reaction made Nia and the other two a little confused.

Before Mitris showed her mantis blade, the president stopped laughing and pointed at the people queuing in the business hall and said, "They all want to see Karl!"

Nia also realized that something was wrong at this time, so she asked in confusion: "What did he do here?"

The president, who had just been wiping a glass, put down the towel and the glass, then raised his arm and rotated his wrist, making his fingers circle around his head.

"Everything you can see now was rebuilt by Carl Iris. There was a coup d'état here not long ago. Now, Carl Iris is the boss here! Well, except for those dragon pattern families."

"Ah?!"*3This news shocked the three of them to some extent.

Because in their impression, Carl, who has a bit of a small peasant mentality, doesn't look like someone who would do such a thing.

Nia even concealed her father's affairs because of Carl's personality traits and handed them over to Mitris.

Now someone suddenly shows up and tells her: Your boyfriend overthrew the regime of the most important gathering place in Xen'drik and became the boss there.

This news is just as outrageous as "My boyfriend went on a business trip to Africa for three months and ended up becoming the biggest warlord there"! After looking Nia and the other two up and down, the president continued, "Karl is out on an adventure now. The affairs of Storm Bay are completely handed over to his subordinate Joanna. You can find her at the Coranburg garrison and the Bastion Base."

Without taking the time to think about what happened during this period, Nia took Lisanna and Mitris and rushed out of the Adventurer's Guild directly, even forgetting to ask where the Bastion Base was.

The president maintained his awkward posture and swallowed the news that he had not had time to say.

But as luck would have it, V happened to be supervising a project at a nearby construction site.

As Nia and the other two were wandering around, V immediately recognized his other mistress.

"Lady Nia! Lady Lisanna! Why are you two here?"

Because of Carl's attitude towards No. 18, V automatically ignored Mitris who was standing aside.

Seeing V here, Nia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The news she just heard made her feel like she was still asleep.

After repeating to V what she had heard before, Nia looked at V seriously and asked about the thing that she was most worried about.

It’s not that she doesn’t believe Carl, it’s just that the drow in Khorvaire are becoming more and more exaggerated.

"No, there is no such thing in the shared memory between me and my master.

However, the master discovered one of the reasons why the drow were so depraved. They used some special rituals to transform the vitality of each other into nourishment for their own psychic energy through mating.

However, the investigation into this matter was interrupted by the coup in Storm Bay. Later, the master led Lord Hope and Lord Shadow and the recruited companions to the adventure zone to search for the giant ruins, and has not returned yet. "

V reported everything that Carl had experienced during this period truthfully, and he had no intention of helping Carl at all.

"So he is really the actual controller of Storm Bay now?"

Turning her head to look at those constructs that were quite Carl-style, Nia still couldn't believe it at this moment.

"Yes, a druid of the Winterborn is here..."

After explaining what happened in more detail, V finally explained for his maker and master: “The master didn’t really want to be the manager, so he trained a very capable secretary, Miss Joanna.

So far, she’s doing a good job.”

Rubbing her forehead, Nia realized that she might have been a little reckless coming here this time.

But young people will always go crazy about something, sooner or later.

"Take me to see Mr. Moore's class teacher. Really, he is already an adult, why is he still fooling around with Karl! He even forgot to remind Karl to write to me!"

With a sense of urgency, Nia asked V to lead the way, and the group headed towards the bastion base.

Along the way, V introduced to Nia Carl's series of plans for Storm Bay.

Nia subconsciously felt that these plans were not in line with Carl's character, but after learning about the current peculiar power structure in Storm Bay, she said no more.

When the group arrived at the bastion, Morban was already waiting at the door.

"Ouch! What wind brings our great genius of Akanix here?

Alas, I am not saying anything bad about you. It has only been a short time since you broke up with Karl, but you have come here. How can you be so unrestrained as a girl? "

But these words did make Nia blush a little.

But she was a rational girl after all. With her eyes narrowed, Nia complained:

"I had hoped that you would urge him to write to me after you came, but you two lost contact at the same time, and the acting director of the Tower of Wonders was clueless. I thought you were planning to settle down here!"

Hearing this, Mooreban laughed and explained, "How is that possible! By the way, sit down first. Would you like some snacks?"

While saying this, Mooreben glanced at Midris obscurely.

Seeing Mooreban's little trick, Mitris said very frankly: "The druid of the Son of Winter came to me with the new prosthetic body made by Carl and asked me to help him test the effect. I later told Nia about it. She was worried that something happened to you, so she came here."

This was of course an embellished statement, but Moore nodded, accepting it.

"That druid from the Son of Winter planned to turn Storm Bay into a place similar to Eludin, but he also required that the Son of Winter's rule of survival of the fittest be implemented here. Karl had no choice but to agree."

After making up for his apprentice with a sentence, Mooreban sat on the sofa and stopped talking.

He completely forgot that when he was making bionic prostheses for the residents of Storm Bay, he was happy for a long time because he had enough experimental subjects.

Moore and Nia are essentially the same kind of people. Except for their relatives and friends, they are somewhat indifferent to everyone else, and can even deliberately ignore some things for the sake of their own research.

"You don't have to tell me this. How long have Carl and the others been out exploring? When will they be back?"

Bringing the topic back to Karl, Nia looked around but did not see the secretary appointed by Karl.

…

Underdark, Obsidian City.

After replacing rubber tires with a special mechanical structure, the group abandoned the speed of trucks and after three days of trekking, they finally arrived at the Obsidian City near the volcano.

The closer they got, the more obvious the crowd's awe of the volcano became.

Thorin even felt that the volcano was part of the real body of the ancestor dragon Eberron.

As for exactly where this position is, that depends on one's own opinion.

However, according to legend, Eberron and Khyber are both female, and only Siberys is male.

"Ah~, we finally arrived at a populated area. I wonder if these drow elves in Obsidian City will be easier to interact with than those fallen drow elves."

Leaning on Hope, Carl, who had been sitting still for three days, felt as if his whole body was about to fall apart.

"I don't know, but it is said that the drow elves in Obsidian City are proficient in spells related to the element of fire. Logically, they should have a very bad temper."

Seeing that Carl seemed to have some unnecessary hopes for the drow here, Ying cruelly interrupted Carl's fantasy.

Carl's expression suddenly fell.

"No! If that's the case, how can we leave? Do I really have to create a supernatural device that can activate the teleportation array? This may take three months!"

The higher the level of the spell, the longer the manufacturing cycle of props, strange objects, and extraordinary machines.

If it were an era before the principles of magic patterns were summarized, this cycle might be longer, and the maker himself might even need to be able to release the corresponding spell in order to successfully create it.

"That's why we are going to give it a try! From now on, just rely on the uncles and aunts, little kid!"

Sitting in the front seat, Scorpion stretched and pointed at himself in a casual manner.

She planned to use her identity as a drow to sneak into Obsidian City, and then secretly find out how to leave.

As long as they could get back to the surface, they could always return to Stormreach.

The shadow at the side patted Carl's head comfortingly, and then gave a thumbs-up with his right hand.

"What? Do you want to protect everyone's smile?"

Picking up Ying, Carl randomly pulled the other's hair apart and told a joke that no one knew.

However, after venting his anger, he silently closed his eyes and entered the dream world.

Although he said he was afraid of trouble, he had actually been trying to design extraordinary machinery on the day he fell into the Underdark.

It’s a pity that three days have passed and the progress is quite touching.

Inside the truck, the temperature is quite cool, perhaps even a little cold, because of the liquid nitrogen cooling device in the floating gun.

In front of the truck, a wall made of obsidian formed by cooled magma was already in sight.
