Chapter 350: Hundred Demon Tower!
"So... you really don't know anything about the truth of the World?"
Anthony looked at Li Xiang in confusion, "Ah! I've said it over a dozen times, I really don't know! How about I call over Instructor Lafati, you can ask her?"
"Ask again if there's a chance."
Li Xiang waved his hand.
This little girl Anthony actually doesn't know anything about the truth of the World.
I expected too much for nothing.
"Why do you have such a disappointed expression? What is the truth of the World?"
"I want to know too," Li Xiang stood up helplessly, "Let's go, you're coming with me today."
"Where are we going?"
"I have a clue for another Divine-grade ability. We're going to find that Divine-grade ability now."
"How many Divine-grade abilities do you have?"
"Many."
"How many is that?"
"It's too much trouble to count. I'll tell you when I've counted them."
"Hmm... okay."
After leaving the Guild Residence, Li Xiang opened another Divine-grade ability clue.
"Ding! Divine-grade ability clue activated. Please proceed to the designated location according to the instructions."
The designated location is Cook City.
Cook City is also one of the six major Cities of the Dafen Empire, and at the same time, it is the City where the Celestial God Guild Residence is located!
Li Xiang narrowed his eyes.
"Let's go to Cook City."
Taking Anthony with him, he couldn't use a teleport stone, so he honestly ran to Adam City first, then traveled to Cook City via the relay station.
Sitting in the relay station's carriage, Li Xiang closed his eyes to rest, pondering what Lu Qingshui had told him and the information about the Celestial God Guild.
Anthony lifted the carriage curtain, looking at the scenery on both sides, exclaiming in admiration from time to time.
After a while, Anthony got tired of looking at the scenery, put down the curtain, and looked at Li Xiang.
"Um... Pumpkin, you look like you have something on your mind?"
Li Xiang opened his eyes, "Just a small matter."
"Is it related to the truth of the World you asked me about?"
Li Xiang smiled, "You're quite smart."
"Hehe~ Tell me about it."
"..."
Li Xiang looked at Anthony, let out a long sigh, "Alright, I'll tell you about it."
...
When they were almost there, Anthony finished listening to Li Xiang's narration. She raised her small fists in anger, "Those bad guys! They are clearly Qingshui's family, yet they hurt Qingshui."
"Yeah..." Li Xiang looked outside with a sigh.
Anthony moved closer to Li Xiang, "Pumpkin, don't worry! When I become a Great Magus, I'll help Qingshui take out that thing in her head that's harming her life! I won't let you become a lone wolf!"
Li Xiang showed a smile, "Thank you."
After speaking, he sighed.
There was no way to explain to Anthony that they were just data in this World, their real bodies weren't here. Even if he explained, she wouldn't understand.
"We've arrived."
Upon entering Cook City, Li Xiang felt an atmosphere completely different from Aotan City and Tis City, which he had visited before.
The players in Cook City were bustling, like people on the road during rush hour in modern society.
In the game, every City has its own characteristics.
Cook City was originally just an ordinary City in the Dafen Empire, but it changed after the Celestial God Guild moved in.
Because of the Celestial God Guild's strong influence, the pace of the entire City quickened.
There are only a few Guilds in the entire game World that can use the power of one Guild to drive a City.
The target for this time is the Church Cardinal NPC in Cook City.
Soon, Li Xiang and Anthony found the Cardinal together.
He was full of scriptures praising the god of life, trying to preach to Li Xiang and Anthony.
Anthony fell asleep after listening for a couple of sentences. As a Fire Spirit born from the divine consciousness of the God of Fire, Anthony would not worship other Gods.
Li Xiang wasn't very interested either, but the Cardinal's words made him realize that this Divine-grade ability should be related to the god of life.
If it's the god of life, then it's related to recovery and HP.
It will probably make me even tankier...
After listening to the Cardinal's preaching, they finally got to the main point.
"Young man, you have gained the recognition of the god of life, which is commendable, but you don't seem to have reverence for the god of life."
Li Xiang nodded, "As you can see, I possess many Divine-grade abilities, which means I believe in many faiths. However, the intertwining of these faiths has also caused me to lose my direction. I hope that obtaining the god of life's ability will allow me to no longer be lost.
Just as you described in the scriptures just now, the god of life's compassion for the world allows Him to spread divinity, illuminating those who are lost. This fills me with joy and happiness."
The Cardinal nodded, "This is indeed where the god of life's divinity lies. Waking up those who are lost is also what we, the servants of the Gods, must do."
Since that is the case, go to the Hundred Demon Tower north of the City, bring back the sacred object from the top of the tower, and I will pray to the Gods so that the god of life may bless you."
"Thank you very much then."
Divine-grade ability clues don't have quest instructions; you have to rely entirely on interacting with NPCs to find the next clue.
According to the Cardinal, as long as you clear the Hundred Demon Tower and get the sacred object, you can obtain this Divine-grade ability!
"Let's go, Anthony."
"Mm-hmm~" Drowsy Anthony yawned and followed behind Li Xiang.
After the two walked away, the Cardinal lightly recited a doctrine, then murmured, "Fire Spirit... Is the God of Fire also beginning to revive?"
...
After buying a detailed map of the area around Cook City, Li Xiang took Anthony to the Hundred Demon Tower.
This tower is not simple. It has a total of ten floors and is extremely difficult. Each floor has a guardian BOSS, and you can only enter the next floor after defeating it.
Teams can enter, but the maximum team size is 5 people.
So far, the team with the highest progression is the five-person team led by Celestial God Guild President Heavenly God Descent, who has reached the eighth floor.
After taking a few glances, Li Xiang walked directly away. Anthony asked in confusion, "Huh? Aren't we here to climb the tower?"
Li Xiang explained, "Let's find some help first, then come back."
After passing the Hundred Demon Tower and traveling for another half hour, they arrived at the level 80 Monster zone in Cook City.
All the Monsters here are a type of Monster that looks very much like a pangolin.
【LV80. Pangolin Rock Monster】
Quality: Elite
HP: 501780
Physical Attack: 32887～33028
Physical Defense: 29177
Magic Defense: 13696
【Commentary: Traversing mountains and moving underground, they are agile hunters in this mountain forest.】
Both Physical Attack and Defense are very high.
"Let's go, Anthony, let's have a blast!"
"Received!"
More than ten minutes later, large flames rose in the mountain forest, the wildfire spread, and hundreds of Pangolin Rock Monsters were burned to death by the flames.
Li Xiang was stunned. He knew Anthony was powerful, but he didn't expect a level 40 NPC to be this powerful.
Any random skill was like some forbidden spell ultimate move, with grand effects and explosive damage...
"Hahaha... This feels great! The feeling of bombing! Pumpkin, did you see that?!"
Boom!
Rumble!!
Boom!!!
Li Xiang's mouth twitched. He walked into the battlefield and began summoning Undead...
