Chapter 929: Limoen Settlement
It is the largest city in the Abyss, home to thousands of gray dwarves.

In reality, this place is not as magical and spectacular as described in various adventurer biographies.

in contrast.

When people saw it for the first time, they had a feeling of “this is it”.

“There are two entrances and exits to the Limoen settlement. One is right in front of us, on the south side of the settlement.”

“The other one is on the north side of the large settlement, which leads to a deeper place in the abyss.”

The so-called entrance and exit are built on the cliff-like structure which is the most common in the deep area.

However, the width of this cliff is slightly larger than the other cliffs.

A steel suspension bridge about fifty meters long, pulled by thick iron cables, connects the two sides of the cliff.

If you want to enter the large settlement, unless you have a way to fly directly over the nearly 50-meter cliff, you have to pass through this suspension bridge.

“At night, the large settlement will raise the suspension bridge, thus ensuring the safety of the entire Limoen settlement.”

After nearly a whole day’s long journey, Gray sounded a little tired when he introduced the situation to everyone.

“Let’s go, hurry up. I don’t want to find a place to stay overnight outside the big settlement. That’s too dangerous.”

The members of the investigation team followed Gray’s steps onto the steel suspension bridge.

The metal material makes it strong enough that nearly a hundred people walked on it at the same time without feeling any shaking.

“It’s best not to look down.”

Noticing that Brandon and a few others were trying to look at the scenery on the cliff under the bridge, Gray shouted loudly.

“There are a bunch of yuluyulu growing down here, be careful or you might lose your life!”

“Yuluyulu?”

“They are carnivorous plants with vines. If you look at Yuru Yuru, they will sense it and then shoot out their vines to entangle the one who looks at them, dragging them down to eat and digest them.”

“In the deep regions, it is best not to gaze rashly into the darkness.”

“When you look into the darkness, the danger in the darkness is also looking into you.”

Perhaps because of the small bag of silver coins Hugo prepared for him before leaving, Gray’s attitude became much better, and he was even willing to remind him of a few extra “tips” for surviving in the deep regions.

……

Walk across the suspension bridge.

A protective net similar to that of the Paisi settlement was erected outside the city of the Limoen settlement to provide the most basic security protection for the entire settlement.

At the south entrance stood four fully armed gray dwarves.

They were wearing a full-body armor that almost wrapped them up like tin cans, and the armor was surrounded by a strange dazzling light that flickered alternately.

Two of them held spears that were almost twice their height. The tips of the spears seemed to be covered with lightning, and arcs of electricity jumped up from time to time.

The other two held heavy crossbows that had already been strung.

The tip of the crossbow arrow emitted a blazing red glow, and even Brandon felt a hint of threat when it was aimed at him.

After sharing the news calmly, everyone was secretly shocked.

The battle instinct of a Tier 4 warrior has become something like muscle instinct. Because of the anger flowing through his body forming an air shield to protect his body, attacks of ordinary power will almost always be deflected and reduced.

The threat meant that this thing had effectively broken through the passive protective effect of the air shield and caused real damage to the person.

Unlike the cautious Brandon and others, Hugo Xiwei’s eyes lit up when he saw these gray dwarves, and he couldn’t help but drool.

“That’s it! The enchantment technique that only the gray dwarves have mastered!”

These weapons and armors themselves do not have any particularly outstanding features, but they have all been meticulously crafted by the gray dwarf enchanters, giving them magical effects that will last forever.

The changes in appearance after enchantment are somewhat similar to the [Enhance] spell, both of which will make the item glow with different patterns.

The stronger the effect, the brighter the glow.

But enchantment can produce much more effects than just strengthening.

For example, the sword energy effect produced by the +9 enhancement is extremely simple in itself. No matter whether it is a wooden sword, iron sword, golden sword or any other sword, as long as it can be enhanced to +9, the same result will be obtained in the end.

Enchanting is different.

“If I remember correctly, those spears should have been enchanted with the name ‘Thunder Spear’, which would cause the weapons to produce electric shock and paralysis effects when hitting the target!”

“The crossbow should have the words ‘Burning Body in Flames’. Every arrow shot out will ignite the target and cause it to burn violently.”

“With a weapon with such a powerful enchantment, if it were in Green Harbor, it would be able to sell for at least dozens of gold coins. I mean at least!”

“If the quality of the weapon itself is better, it could be sold for three or four digits!”

Hugo’s eyes were almost turning into the shape of gold coins.

Why did he volunteer to join the investigation team and participate in this operation?
In addition to responding to the mission given to believers by Nowen, it is also for these rare commodities that are extremely difficult to obtain on the surface.

The annual output of weapons and equipment enchanted by the gray dwarves is extremely limited, and most of them are monopolized by those famous Greenport business companies affiliated with the earth elf tycoon Carron.

Only after arriving in the deep areas did Hugo discover how “profitable” these things were!
According to what Gray told him on the way.

To ask a senior enchanter in the settlement of Limoen to enchant a weapon, you only need to pay food worth about 1 or 2 gold coins or other things recognized by the gray dwarves.

After the enchantment is completed, it is transported back to the ground and resold, with the profit increasing dozens or even hundreds of times!
When Hugo first heard the news about this crazy rate of return, he was so excited that he almost fainted.

Who cares whether they are in the same industry or not, or whether they have a monopoly or not.

Hugo has made up his mind that after the investigation in the Deep Region is completed and those dangerous believers of the evil god are eliminated, he will find a way to replace his counterparts in Green Port and become the new monopolist here.

This is not a chaotic place full of dangers, but an underground vault where anyone strong enough can pick up handfuls of money with a sack!
……

The investigation team disguised as a slave caravan naturally attracted the attention of the four gray dwarf guards.

They immediately approached with their weapons raised, shouting at everyone to stop moving forward.

“Caravan, selling goods, selling slaves, living human slaves!”

“They came here by the big elevator from the village of Pais.”

Gray took over the role of translator from Bron and started talking to the guards in a chatterbox.

A gray dwarf proved his identity.

The four guards glanced at the crowd, then stepped back and signaled to let them pass.

However, the greed and malice in their eyes were so obvious that they were too lazy to conceal it!
