Although he was a noble, Kasha had never seen such a bold scene before. For a moment, he even stuttered.

Joanna was about to leave, but Mitris quickly explained, "Don't go! You came at the right time! They became like this after watching the video. I suspect that the drow has mastered the ability to exert psychological suggestion through images!"

The ability to influence ordinary people through things that have no magical effect is something that both the school of enchantment and experienced psykers can master.

After hearing Mitris' explanation, Joanna and Kasha looked at each other and then immediately cast a spell.

"Divine Guidance!"

Brilliant golden light bloomed in Joanna's hands. She quickly stepped forward and pointed her finger at a young sheriff who was being whipped.

The light quickly covered the other person's body surface, and after a brief moment of confusion, his eyes became clear again.

"Oh hoo! Chief! Chief! Stop it! Stop it!"

However, Midris continued to whip him until she was sure that there was no obvious desire in his voice, and then she finally stopped.

Seeing that the divine guidance technique was effective, Joanna gained confidence and began to treat the rest of the sheriffs.

Divine Guidance can add random enhancements to the recipients of spell effects before and after the spell, allowing them to increase their resistance to certain special situations or improve their success rate in doing certain things.

Because the effect is relatively random, not all sheriffs can wake up with the help of one divine guidance spell. Those unlucky ones only wake up after Joanna releases the divine guidance spell more than a dozen times.

Looking at the mess on the ground, the sheriffs recalled what they had just done and for a moment they wished they could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

At this moment, Joanna was extremely grateful that they had found Mitris as the acting chief of the Sheriff's Bureau to help with the investigation.

If it weren't for her, what happened today might go viral the next day.

"Thank you for your help. If possible, we would like to hire you as the real director of the Public Security Bureau. If you agree, I will go and persuade Senior Carl."

Joanna extended a sincere invitation to Mitris, maintaining a forced and decent smile, but her voice sounded a little tired.

"Huh? No, no, no, it's enough that I've done this kind of thing for you once. I don't want to go through it a second time. So, why are you here? I was just trying to find a way to notify you."

Joanna touched her hair and briefly talked about the audition, then turned the topic back to Zhuoer's case.

"I once heard Sister Hope say that Senior Carl had investigated the drow and discovered that they used a strange ritual to convert the life force of the opposite sex into their own spiritual energy. Senior Carl even saved some of these young adventurers.

When the incident happened in Storm Bay, all these drow withdrew from Storm Bay.

In order to prevent these drow from using the male adventurers in the town to cultivate their psychic powers again, Senior Carl deliberately adopted a more stringent household registration management system.

This should have been able to effectively prevent the appearance of drow in the town, but I didn't expect them to sneak in again."

If it was just a simple transaction, Carl might have even set aside a place specifically for Zall, which would be good for everyone.

But they made it clear that they wanted to take both the money and the life, so Karl naturally couldn't let them do whatever they wanted.

"Tsk! That guy Carl actually studied those drow things? Um~, wait, I remember Ying is also a drow, maybe she helped in some way?"

Mitris, who didn't know that Ying had already put himself in danger, analyzed the situation quickly, and soon, she came to the conclusion that "Zhoer must be caught."

Thus, an anti-pornography campaign that brought great pain to all adventurers began.

…

"I told you! We are not those fallen ones, it's just that the men we have happen to be are not drow!"

In the tunnel that claimed to be able to reach the surface, the scorpion looked madly at its recently captured counterparts and explained angrily.

These four drow who came from the Spirit Tribe were relatively rare conservatives in the Underdark. They showed a considerable degree of non-cooperation with Scorpion, Shadow, and Carl and the others.

"Okay, Scorpion, stop talking nonsense to them. Our current goal is to return to the surface as soon as possible. At worst, we can release them after returning to Storm Bay."

On the side, Carl and others set up a barbecue grill and had an open-air barbecue.

Cooking for a team of dozens of people is very tiring, so Carl simply let everyone grill it themselves.

As the blower blew, the fat sizzling in the charcoal emitted an intoxicating meaty aroma.

In fact, Carl originally wanted to use rune stones to grill the meat, just like he did in the dungeon, but the charcoal-grilled skewers have a different flavor from ordinary heat sources.

Since he has this condition, Karl will naturally not treat himself unfairly.

As the aroma of meat wafted around, the drow who had been in a stalemate with the scorpion for a long time couldn't help swallowing.

This is a normal reaction that most people experience, and it is a physiological phenomenon that is difficult to overcome by willpower.

After hearing his companions' advice, Scorpion stopped wasting time and joined the barbecue.

After a short rest, Carl and his team set off again.

Of course, there were four more drow captives in the team this time.

The further you go, the size of the tunnel begins to fluctuate.

In contrast, the upward inclination of the tunnel began to weaken, and it even gradually approached flat ground.

"Can this tunnel really reach the surface? Why do I feel like the road is gradually becoming flatter?"

On a construct, Thorin felt the increasingly stable road conditions and muttered to himself.

Carl and others around him also had this feeling, but no one wanted to think too badly about it for the time being.

At this moment, the road ahead suddenly widened, and Carl controlled the mecha and walked out first to prevent any situation outside.

However, what appeared before his eyes was not a spacious tunnel, but another even larger cave.

Looking up at the dome of the cave, lead-gray rain clouds gathered above to form a sea of ​​clouds, and only hanging stalagmites and protruding rocks could be seen in certain places.

There are mushrooms growing on the ground that are different from those in the previous dungeon.

They emit blue or purple fluorescence, dotted the cave like a sea of ​​stars.

The environment was actually still dim, but most of Carl and his companions possessed dark vision, so this level of light was enough for them.

"Have we reached another drow cave?"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Karl was silent for a while, and finally stated the fact in a helpless tone.

The four bound drow smiled, and one of them even introduced in a congratulatory tone: "Welcome to the Underdark. I hope you can have fun here. Of course, you'd better control your lower body, otherwise you might be sucked into a mummy."

After hearing these words that were half advice and half mockery, Carl waved his hand while operating the mecha and asked his drow to provide some food to the four prisoners.

After they finished eating in a somewhat embarrassed and anxious manner, Karl asked with a smile:

"Aren't you afraid that I've put a love potion in your food? I'm going to turn you into..."

Before Carl could finish his words, the four drow were already swaying their bodies and retching, as if trying to spit out the food they had just eaten.

But the scorpion had sealed their mouths and didn't give them the chance at all.

Thinking that from now on they would probably become toys of these people like the other drow, the four drow's eyes dimmed and they even had less strength to resist.

"Phew~, now that we're here, Ying and I are pretty familiar with each other. This place can be considered our hometown."

After dealing with the four drow who refused to listen to explanations, Scorpion turned his head and looked at the Underdark with a complicated expression.

The entire Underdark is a huge ecosystem that relies on this huge cave and the countless tunnels around it.

There are countless tunnels like the one Carl and his friends just left in the Underdark.

Most people don't know where certain tunnels lead to, so occasionally people are sent out to explore.

Here, the drow exist in the form of families and warlords. The drow matriarch rules the tribe and distributes materials and power to members of the tribe.

In the past, people might prepare sacrifices for spirit totems, but as the spirits gradually passed away, such activities gradually ceased.

"Since these four guys are planning to explore this tunnel, their residence is probably not far from here. Shadow! Scorpion! Let's go take a look."

After transforming the mecha back into a truck, Carl gave the two people tasks while replacing his own power armor with an Infiltrator model.

The heavy power armor made no sound when stepping on the ground. Although it was still somewhat conspicuous, it was indeed better at hiding than ordinary professionals.

"Ah? You're going too?"

Scorpion paused as he was about to leave, then looked at Carl with disgust.

Ying didn't have any objection to this, and even seemed eager to try it.

"You underestimated me! Don't worry! I won't hold you back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and tapped a few times on the rune ring on the chest of the power armor.

The purple-black eclipse ability flashed by, and the originally bright silver power armor immediately turned gray and matte. Even people with dark vision could not find his trace immediately.

"Take me with you too! I can transform into a bat and scout in mid-air!"

At this time, Hope also wanted to join in. She had been practicing her transformation ability during this period of time, and finally gained a clever transformation other than the black bear.

"In that case, I won't go. You three can explore!"

After glancing at Carl and the other two, Scorpion waved his hand and sat back next to Bane.

Carl and the other two looked at each other, then nodded and walked away.

Hope transformed into a bat and flew into the air, while Shadow and Carl followed one after the other.
