The stone dragon Smarag did not return to his nest, and he did not know where he went. Otherwise, just because a stink bomb was shot into its nose, it would fight the adventurers until death. Sure enough, it's better not to encounter it for the time being, and I don't know if it will hold a grudge. Thanks to this, Gapar and Leon were able to reach the lair of the Stone Dragon without any danger, without even pulling out their swords. But something strange happened at this moment. There was no purple light spot in the lair, and there was no pyroxene key! There were only some scattered white lights. When I picked them up, I saw that they were all forged stones. This kind of thing is no different from the waste rocks on the roadside to current adventurers, because no one knows how to use it. The introduction in the hunting manual said that this thing can improve the quality of weapons through the hands of a blacksmith. However, to this day, the adventurers have searched all the blacksmith shops and have not found anyone who can use forging stones to strengthen weapons. Perhaps the blacksmith should How can I knock the forging stone into the weapon? Some people also tried to use forging stones to make weapons, but all failed without exception. The technology used by those forgers could not even change the shape of the forging stones. Therefore, in the eyes of adventurers, the forged stone has become a slightly better prop than garbage residue and feces, because the forged stone can at least rely on its hardness to hit people.
How can I use the forging stone? Could it be that a series of related forging technologies will appear in Thane Dungeon? "Why is there no pyroxene key?" Gapar was puzzled. Could it be that the previous key would not appear again after they took it away? This is not right. A pyroxene key can only remember five people. So what should we do with the rest of the people? Maybe there are other keys hidden somewhere else? He looked a little confused. After all, he had sworn that he could find the key props needed to enter the academy gate, but when he arrived, he found that there was nothing. This was very embarrassing. Leon didn't mind, and even thought the situation in front of him was normal. Why does it feel normal? Because he believes that the journey of exploration in Thane Dungeon cannot be smooth sailing. When your adventure here goes smoothly, it means that you may have fallen into a pit without knowing it. but He looked at the portal behind Dragon's Nest Hill and thought to himself: Although Lake Lienia can be reached through Thane Dungeon, can this really be regarded as Thain Dungeon? After all, the scenery outside the portal is completely opposite to that of Bede City, which is something that quite a few people don't want to recall. "Why don't you take this key and use it first? You can also let someone in." Gapar handed over his pyroxene key. Leon shook his head and decisively rejected the Juggernaut's kindness. This key belonged not only to the Juggernaut, but also to the magic professor and Roger. How could he take it? Besides, it's not enough for him to go to the magic academy alone. It's better to go looking for new keys with everyone. "Okay then." Gapar smiled. "When I come back, I will take you to find the key myself." In fact, the reason why Gapar wanted to go out was very simple, just to replenish some food. He didn't like to drink stamina potions to fill his stomach. And now Lake Lienia seems to show the characteristics of no time limit and no limit on the number of people, so sufficient food is even more necessary. Although the dried meat sold in Gale is cheap and filling,... Adventurers depend on food. After fighting monsters all day long, they return to the college gate to chew on the hard dried meat and take a bite of the indigestible Roa Fruit. It feels like they have it all in their lives. Life and the future will become dark in an instant.
Gapar has sufficient and self-disciplined management of his diet. He must eat meat, meat, meat, and occasionally some vegetables to moisten his throat. As for "going out to find some equipment and coming back to explore the dungeon" was just a lie. With his identity and status, no one would doubt that he left the dungeon just to satisfy his appetite, just like no one would doubt that an idol would The truth behind her suspension of performance due to physical discomfort was that she went home to give birth to twins. "Leon, take care of yourself." After simply giving instructions to his apprentice, Gapal walked into the portal. Tulsi and the others followed behind him. Everyone went back and had some things to deal with. When they saw that half of Gapar's body had entered the portal, not only Leon, but also everyone in the strategy team behind him were suppressing their smiles and took a few steps back, leaving no room for them. Out of space. The Juggernaut walked into the portal, but everyone believed he would be back soon. Sure enough, before Roger, who was at the end of the team, entered the portal, he suddenly bumped into the back of someone's head and kept retreating. "Who, who?" Roger shouted, covering his head, and when he looked up, he saw a rare scene. I saw Gapar, who had walked out before, come back again? Wait a minute, wait a minute, doesn't it mean that each person can only enter the dungeon once a day? Why did he come in again? In addition to unlimited number of people and no time limit, there is also no limit on the number of times you can come in? No, no. He shook his head. What he should be most concerned about now was what the Juggernaut was doing when he came back. The next second, not only Gapal, but also Hedes and Tulsi came back. Except for Hedes, who was wearing a hood and couldn't see his expression clearly, the other two were staring at the portal with complicated expressions. Gapar took a deep breath and walked into the portal again. Then he walked back. Repeated the previous breath, walked in again, walked back again, and finally only half of his body was in. And Tulsi was actually doing the same thing, and the synchronization rate with Gapar was as high as 100%. Seeing the two people showing expressions of thinking about life, Leon finally couldn't help it and laughed out loud while slapping his thigh. He is a professional adventurer and usually doesn't laugh out loud unless he really can't help it. Is there anything more fun than the famous sword master showing a confused expression? No, absolutely not! Listening to the series of laughter coming from behind, Gapar didn't feel embarrassed or anything, because what he encountered now was too outrageous. Walking out of the portal, he didn't see the ancient city above ground in the Saen Underground City, which was as lively as usual, but a bare yellow empty land where no grass grows? There was an endless open space, with not even a few weeds growing. Only by looking far away could you see a hint of green in the distance. This place seemed to have experienced a brutal war. The strong breath of death made even the most tenacious weeds unwilling to grow here.
And this place looked familiar. Japar rubbed his eyes and saw the big pit on the ground made by the meteorite, as well as the deep sword marks. It was confirmed that this was the ruins of Val City! The meteorite and the sword marks were made by him and the professor, how could they forget! The ruins of Val City would not surprise people, but why would they arrive here after walking out of the portal of the Sean Underground City? "Yes, why?" Tulsi murmured to herself. This was the first time she had seen this situation. Has the Sean Underground City expanded to here? In addition to being shocked, Japar had another concern. From Val City to Bede City, the distance in between was not as fast as if he walked back from Lake Lienia to the Fire Sacrifice Site! "What the hell is going on?" He looked at the people behind him who were laughing non-stop, and his intuition told him that these people must know something. "Hahaha," Leon laughed loudly, because he had the same expression when he first went out, so when he saw such an expression on others, especially on his beloved and always serious and reliable teacher, he really couldn't hold it back. "Bang!" Leon didn't stop until a big bump in the style of an anime was knocked out on his head by the sword master. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said: "Sorry, sorry, I really can't hold it back, haha" " # " Japar's forehead was bulging with blue veins "Still laughing?" "No more laughing, no more laughing." Leon waved his hands repeatedly and asked Drew to give him a sedative. Then he said calmly: "We don't know what's going on. In fact, the reason we found this place is because we were teleported to the nearby resurrection house ruins after death." Resurrection house ruins? How could there be a resurrection house in Val City. There is no underground city here, so what's the point of building a resurrection house? After each death, adventurers will be teleported out by the crystal. The reason why they are accurately teleported to the resurrection house is because of something called "crystal pillars", which can be understood as coordinates. Within its attractive range, all teleportation crystals will be attracted by it. It is a standard feature of every resurrection house. Without it, it is not a resurrection house. And such a simple and clear thing was played by a group of humans with amazing wisdom decades ago. There was once a hot dungeon that attracted many adventurers to challenge it with generous rewards, which was a good thing for the surrounding towns. However, there are two cities next to it! And the distance between these two cities and the dungeon is not far, so in order to compete for the business of the resurrection house, the nobles of the two cities set up their own resurrection houses and crystal pillars. The more crystal pillars one has, the greater the attraction to the teleportation crystal. This leads to the continuous expansion of the scale of crystal pillars by both parties. Every time an adventurer is resurrected, it is like opening a blind box. No one knows which city he will be resurrected in next time. Finally, the adventurers were so angry that they demolished both resurrection houses.
This also led to the later people to develop the "one pillar, one crystal" plan. In simple terms, it is to bind the teleportation crystal to a specific crystal pillar. Unless it exceeds the effective range of the crystal pillar, it will not be snatched away by other resurrection houses. But such teleportation crystals are more expensive than ordinary ones, after all, they need to be specially processed. After Count Charon came to power, he issued subsidies for adventurers to buy teleportation crystals, but only ordinary crystals were subsidized. Anyway, there are no other resurrection houses nearby to compete for business, and ordinary crystals will not teleport to unfamiliar places. "The previous Count Val and Count Bed have never gotten along. He came up with a shady trick to use the resurrection house and crystal pillars to snatch adventurers from the Sean Dungeon." "This is too stupid." Tulsi couldn't help but comment sharply. Doing so would cause adventurers to have a strong rebellious psychology. "Yes, it's stupid, so the plan was abandoned before it could be implemented. Later, it was found that the previous Count Val was mentally retarded due to inbreeding." Leon shrugged, "But the crystal pillars were not transported away, but buried underground. Fortunately, they were not destroyed by the battle not long ago." This explanation seems to make it reasonable for them to be resurrected nearby, but there are still many questions. The first question is, isn't the resurrection house in Bed City the closest to the Sean Underground City? It is impossible for the crystal pillars in Val City to be attractive. Could it be that the Lake Lienia area is geographically far away from Bed City? The second question- "Who resurrected you?" Tulsi asked. "Mr. Naba, he happened to be investigating near the ruins of Val City." Naba? Who is this person whose name sounds like he has a combat power of at least four digits? "It turned out to be him." Tulsi showed a helpless expression, "He told me before that he had something to go out, but I didn't expect him to come here." Naba, the last of the four magic professors who came to Bed City, studies resurrection and large-scale offensive magic. Leon and his friends were lucky to meet Naba and be resurrected by him. Thank you, Professor Naba, and thank you, the previous Earl of Val. "So what should we do now?" Roger asked with a breath of cold air, he felt that this time things were developing in an uncontrollable direction. I thought it was just an ordinary dungeon exploration, but what has it become now? Why did it suddenly involve Val City. "Let me think about it." Japar rubbed his eyebrows and closed his eyes in thought. "I have to think about it carefully." Just as he was thinking, Malu suddenly heard the sound of flapping wings in the distance. When he looked up, it was indeed the pyroxene dragon Smarrag. But with the appearance of the pyroxene dragon, a purple light spot was faintly lit in the dragon's nest, which was the academy pyroxene key. It was exactly two hours since Japar and his friends took the last key!
