After nearly a month, Downton returns to the dungeon.
Polusna is still the same as before, dark and humid, as quiet as a sleeping cemetery. The fireflies floating around the parasitic vines flash green light, forming strips of light that resemble the northern aurora.
It's the only beautiful scenery for now.
There was a faint rancid smell wafting in the air, coupled with the ghouls wandering in the streets and alleys, it was full of terror. However, Downton felt that compared to the ground, this place was safer than ever before.
feel.
"Am I a masochist?" Thinking of those hatreds and Robinson, Downton shook his head and laughed.
After the transmission, Hutao, who appeared in the backyard of a grocery store, was stunned by the strange environment that broke into her field of vision. She turned her little head and looked around in astonishment. After a long time, she burst into cheers.
"It's great, it's an underground city, and the concentration of magic energy seems to be five times higher than outside!" Hutao took a sharp breath, his big eyes blinked with excitement, "This is yours
Secret base? That’s so cool!”
"It will be soon." Downton smiled. This time, he must solve all the troubles and completely conquer the dungeon before going out.
"Ah? Are you worried about those ghouls? Come on, let's go chop them down!" Hutao held the tomahawk, eager to try.
"Better than that!"
"What is it?" Hu Tao just finished asking, his face suddenly turned serious, he stared at the wall on the right, waved his hand and threw the tearing dragon tooth.
Bang, as soon as Celes floated onto the wall, a battle ax shot over and collapsed the wall.
Amidst the flying dust, the frightened Death Banshee subconsciously opened her red lips, and her penetrating death wail quickly enveloped half of the street.
"Stop shouting. It's me!" Downton covered his ears and quickly stopped him. He found that the soul shield on Celes' body had become three. It was obvious that she had not been lazy during this period and had advanced again.
"Downton?" When she heard Downton's voice, Celes looked happy. She floated over and threw herself into his arms, "UuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuNgtcc.”
Hutao stood nearby, looking at Celes up and down, showing a puzzled expression. It was really novel that a death banshee actually took the initiative to hug a paladin. Isn't she afraid of being purified?
"Stop crying, let me introduce you, this is Hutao." Downton patted Celes on the back and comforted her, "Be a good sister in the future."
"Be a sister? Can I do that?" Celes ignored her tears and fell directly in front of Hu Tao, squatting down, "So cute!"
The Death Banshee wanted to touch the little Loli's head. But Hu Tao ducked and ran to Downton.
"Does she hate me?" Celes cried again. Her two white index fingers were twisted together.
Hutao poked Downton's thigh, and when she saw him looking over, she quickly waved her little hand.
Downton knelt down, and the little girl came close to whisper in his ear.
"Brother, she is so stupid. If she wanders alone, she will never be able to save a single coin from being deceived." Hutao was depressed, "I don't want a fool to be my sister!"
"She is innocent, okay?" Downton smiled, "Seniority is based on age, not IQ."
"How can you convince the public if you don't have IQ?" Hu Tao was puzzled.
"Then if a goblin has a higher IQ than you, would you call him brother?"
"I will chop it and hang it up to dry!" Hutao waved his fist, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, revealing a pair of small fangs.
"So, she is your sister." Downton did not regret taking Hutao into the dungeon. Although she claimed to have bought a wisdom book and became very knowledgeable, in fact she was just a little lolita with no scheming ideas.
Judging from the distribution of spoils, she doesn't care about those things at all.
"Okay!" Hutao nodded, "For my brother's sake, you will be my sister from now on, but don't even think about ordering me!"
"Really? That's great." Celes rushed over and rubbed Hu Tao with her cheek. She was even happier than Downton to have an extra playmate.
"Okay, the reminiscing is over." Homer stopped shouting and lectured the Death Banshee, "Celes, who promoted you to the next level? Don't you know it's dangerous without our protection?"
"I was just meditating, and then I suddenly advanced." Celes lowered her head and twisted her two fingers together habitually.
"Stop scolding her, just be more careful next time." Downton tried to smooth things over, "But the Death Banshees are indeed a race born with a strong affinity for magic. They advance through the ranks very quickly."
Downton understood that if he did not eat the thousand-year black pearl, his advancement to the first level would be much slower than that of Celes.
"We are on the same level now. I don't need your protection, so I can help you." Celes was deeply afraid that she would be a burden and delay Downton.
"No, you are still one level lower than eldest brother. Well, you will be two levels soon." Hu Tao was dissatisfied when she saw Celes hugging Downton's arm affectionately, just like the stuffed bear she once loved.
It felt like she had been robbed, so he attacked her with words.
"Ah? How come you advanced so fast?" Under Homer's guidance, Celes is no longer ignorant, so she still has a general understanding of the speed of human magic users' cultivation.
"Stop talking about this." Homer hates wasting time. "The elemental law repulsion you created when you advanced to the next level didn't attract Robinson?"
"coming!"
Celes' words made Downton's heart skip a beat, "How did you escape?"
"Uncle Shearer beat him away." Celes felt sweet in her heart when she saw Downton worried about her.
"Who is he? He's not a magician in black robes, is he?" Homer had a headache. It seemed like there was more trouble than expected.
"That's Uncle Hiller, my godfather, the leader of the Knights of the Holy Snow Falcon!" Celes wanted to say more, but was shocked to find that her memory went blank and she couldn't recall anything.
"Forget it, don't think about it." Homer gave up asking.
The naturally reincarnated Death Banshee will lose most of the memories of her previous life. Whatever remains is definitely the most profound memory in her life, so that Uncle Hiller will definitely not harm Celes.
"Then why doesn't he show up?" Downton frowned.
"Maybe there are difficulties. Maybe Celes is alive and well until now. In addition to being an undead person, that Sheele has been protecting her!" Homer urged, "Transfer first, and then formulate the next strategy plan.
!”
Jackson, who walked out of the war space, had picked up the torn dragon teeth in a very stupid way. He complained a lot about returning to the dungeon. How could such a broken place be as fun as the human world? It felt that the owner was definitely a masochist.
mad!
In the study room of the temporary base, Downton sat at the table with two girls, one older and one younger, and explained the current situation and plan to them.
During this time in the mine, he was not idle either. He had been thinking about how to extract the maximum value from the underground city in the shortest time.
"According to my prediction, there are five most valuable targets in total, the mage tower, the mansions of wealthy people in the aristocratic district, the mana well, the Duke's mansion, and the Holy Prayer Cathedral!"
"That towering mage tower is at least the fortress of a dragon-slaying magician. All his belongings in his life must be stored in it. If it is taken down, the benefits are self-evident, otherwise Robinson would not have taken it down.
It becomes the first strategy target.”
"The mansions of the rich, no matter how small or large the treasury of each family is, is still a piece of wealth that cannot be ignored. Of course, compared to the treasury of the Duke's family that has been accumulated for thousands of years, it is still not enough. Maybe we can
There’s no guarantee that you’ll find legendary-level magic equipment or even artifacts inside!”
"Artifact?" Hutao's eyes suddenly lit up.
Celes didn't feel anything about this. She just felt that Downton's focused and confident posture when analyzing problems was very elegant and beautiful.
"It's just a possibility." Downton drew the key points in his notebook casually, "Forget it about the magic well, because the concentration of magic energy there is very high, and most of the intelligent undead creatures in the dungeon gather there, making it difficult to deal with.
And five times the concentration is enough for us."
"Wait, I understand other places, what's going on with that cathedral?" Hu Tao raised his hand and asked.
"It should have been transformed into a hate workshop by a mysterious man. If we take it down, we will have an army of hate!" Downton smashed the table. "With them, it will be much easier to attack other targets."
"You mean the war machine of the undead clan? There will be a legion?" Hu Tao was excited, "Then we can walk sideways through the entire dungeon. The giant skeleton dragon and the black-robed mage are not enough to see!"
"Yes, so this is the tentative first target!" Downton originally wanted to guide the two girls to think, but in the end they had no intention of doing so.
"The problem is how to get in. That bone dragon is not blind." Celes, who had suffered a lot, shook her head, "No, we will be killed."
The cathedral is in the north area of the dungeon. Because it is close to the mana well, the concentration is very high, so it has the ability to dominate the nearby undead creatures all year round. The level is also very high. The ghouls are of a low level, just like the ordinary ones in other areas.
You can't see any trash fish at all.
"It doesn't work on the ground, you can go underground!" Downton had already thought about how to solve this problem.
"Underground? How to get there? Is it possible to dig a hole in the ground?" Hutao waved his little hand and made a gesture of digging a hole. "We are not a mole, so how long will it take?"
"Underground sewer?" As expected from the ancient grimoire, he was the first to respond.
"Well!" Downton explained, "In large cities like this, the underground drainage systems are generally very complete. Through the sewers, we can directly reach every area of the city. I guess there will still be monsters down there, but there will definitely not be as many as above.
That’s it.”
"Big brother is great!" Hutao was dumbfounded when he heard this, and then felt very honored. Big brother's wisdom can also be regarded as our wisdom.
"A question, how do you ensure that you don't get lost in a complicated sewer?" Homer hit the nail on the head and pointed out the key points of the plan. (To be continued...)
