The Voyage of Exchange - Rebirth from the Dead Chapter Thirteen The Monster in the Lord's Room
Seeing that there were no special commissions, Alter was a little confused, but her experience as an explorer told her that she should go to the lobby to see if there were any missions suitable for her. With this in mind, she asked the counter what missions she could accept.
But soon Erte was informed that due to special reasons, her explorer level was temporarily lowered to a lower-level adventurer, and only lower-level adventurers in this city were qualified to enter the dungeon.
There are only a small number of simple commissions in the commission list that are specifically provided for the promotion of the lowest-level explorers. The remaining ones all require intermediate adventurers to receive them. The money on hand is definitely not enough to go to the association branches in other cities, so there is no way to receive the commissions.
One word.
Now the only two paths before Erte were to save money or to advance to the explorer level, and in a sense, this was actually the same path.
After sighing, Alter began to ask what the promotion tasks were.
"Generally speaking, you can be promoted to an intermediate adventurer by successfully obtaining the drops from a total of one hundred monsters on the sixth and seventh floors with the proof of an intermediate adventurer, or by defeating the lord monster on the fifth floor alone."
The regeneration rate of the fifth-level lord monster is once every three days, which is quite fast, but even so, there are still a lot of lower-level adventurers queuing up to apply. And only after getting the application can you challenge it, which takes a long time just to queue up.
.
Then Alter asked the counter staff if there was a team that went to the sixth floor of the dungeon to complete the promotion mission.
"Currently, there are a total of thirty-seven explorers from different factions who have formed teams of their own and have applied individually. There is no group application." This means that everyone is applying for the upgrade certificate alone and there is no group application.
Alter thought for a while and asked whether the dropped object was a crystal or something else, and whether it could be delivered in one go or if it could be delivered in batches.
But this requires the supervision of a reputable mid-level explorer or an explorer directly affiliated with the association, that is, hunting a sufficient number of drops at one time. It does not matter whether they are source energy crystals, these drops are just
Even if you perform a prophecy spell for confirmation, it will not be confiscated and it will still be yours.
This eliminates to the greatest extent the possibility of the explorer's level being inconsistent with the actual strength and the possibility of fraud. Over and over again, Erte realized that with her current magic power reserve, it is impossible to prove it through upgrades in this way. From what she has seen
The previous Northrian magicians all carried staffs. They could probably deal with a small number of ordinary monsters with melee skills. Now that magic swords are rare, it is impossible for all low-level magicians to possess magic swords.
sword.
After thanking the teller for the explanation, Erte went to the association's blacksmith shop and asked about the price of ordinary armor, weapons and backpacks. But she only had enough money on hand to buy an iron dagger. Even if she bought it, she would hold the dagger in her hand.
Even if the magic power is exhausted, it may not be possible to defeat the monsters on the first floor.
Only then did Arquette realize the weakness of his own strength, and decided to start accumulating bit by bit, and enter the dungeon for exploration every day. With this in mind, Arquette left the Explorers Association and entered the dungeon.
First, she used flying to stay away from wandering monsters. After entering the second floor, she prioritized exploring the stairs to the next floor. During the day, she worked in a tavern where explorers gathered. In the evening, she went to the dungeon to obtain crystals to exchange for money and then returned to the hotel to rest.
In the tavern, the explorers who spent money to have fun showed off their superiority to their juniors by adding one or two adventures that were more exciting than the ordinary stories. Or the explorers who lost their companions drank to drown their sorrows and looked at each other in silence.
, there are also children who secretly step on wooden boxes and barrels at the ventilation window high on the wall and look in longingly.
To be honest, Erte is not very good at service work and has difficulty adapting to it. However, there are also some customers who like cold-faced waitresses. At most, the wages will be deducted after breaking a plate. Nothing is more unpleasant than this.
Things like being exploited. After all, there is a romantic street in Northlia.
Most of the explorers with bad brains died in the dungeons. Of course, there were often explorers who got into quarrels with red faces because they were drunk, or even fought against the rules and were knocked unconscious and taken away by the direct explorers.
Some medium and large explorer factions sometimes book the place for a night after returning from the lower level or the lowest level. It is always more relaxed at that time, and most of them focus on talking with their companions or eating and drinking.
Just a few months later, spring has arrived, and the green belts in the city are filled with flowers of all colors. Sometimes when I return to the hotel late at night, I can still hear couples having sex in the alleys.
Alter is already able to fight at the top level relatively skillfully, and he also has a few pieces at hand - Fifteen Lindsay.
After Alter became familiar with the battles on the upper level, he began to look for explorers from the Explorers Association and the tavern to explore the dungeon together to form a team and move towards the lower level.
But after several attempts, no adventurer was willing to team up with Alter. Mage who had to take care of insufficient magic power in battle could easily suffer unnecessary injuries. Alter could not adapt to the lower battle rhythm, and the magic power
Once it's used up, it's just a burden.
Those who can fight in the lower levels are at least high-level adventurers. Although Erte is the original high-level adventurer. However, monsters spanning three levels are almost fatal to Erte, whether it is self-protection or the lethality of spells.
, Erqit is not enough to adapt to the battle of the middle level, let alone the lower level.
And magicians are often only needed by large factions fighting at the lower and lowest levels. This is a vicious cycle that cannot be solved unless Erte continues to slowly accumulate and improve her own abilities. After she was frustrated, she adjusted her mentality and was still there during the day.
I worked part-time to make money, and when I went to the dungeon in the evening, I gradually became familiar with the battles on one level and then explored the next level, and gradually became familiar with how to fight and retreat when the magic power was vacant.
Erte asked about how long it would take for the application to be assessed, and according to expectations, it would be about ten weeks. Then while working, she asked if there was a blacksmith shop that could make armor that was cheaper and easier to use.
In general, after two and a half months, Alter used the saved Lindsay to create a mithril inner armor that was more suitable for him. It could also be inlaid with source energy crystals to provide a life-saving shield or resist elements.
It was time for the uppermost lord room to be refreshed, and this time it was the turn of the long-awaited Alter. With the experience of exploring the lower floors, she bypassed the patrolling monsters on the first to fifth floors and followed the association's prompts to arrive.
Find the location of the lord monster.
There are a lot of vines growing on the walls of the lord's room on the fifth floor. After all, there is a lot of vegetation starting from the sixth floor. The leader of the humanoid monster on the top floor is a rock troll, which is difficult to deal with no matter how you look at it.
If you take a few more steps forward, the entrance and exit will be blocked due to the mechanism of the maze, and you can only leave by killing the lord monster. Alter took a deep breath, patted his cheek to show encouragement, and then raised his hand
The magic weapon goes into the lord monster's room.
In an instant, the soil behind Erte moved and hardened, and the troll holding a long stone stick raised its head and roared.
The current distance was eighty feet. Airt immediately released his flying technique and flew up. The troll sprinted sixty feet and threw the stone stick in his hand at Airt, then jumped over and smashed it hard with a hammer in both hands.
to her.
Alter was caught off guard, but she dodged the second attack. She immediately fired back with a freeze ray, but the effect was not very good but it slowed down the troll's speed somewhat.
Then the troll "pulled out" a new stone stick from the ground, which seemed to be some kind of spell-like ability. So Alter used upgraded magic missiles. The damage seemed quite serious, but the actions of the little giant
There wasn't much of a hindrance, and the injury was still healing quickly.
Then the troll jumped up and threw a stone stick at Erte in mid-air. This time the stone stick spun at high speed in mid-air and flew over. The powerful and heavy move missed and almost hit Erte.
Special. She dodged this fierce attack in the air, with a lot of sweat on her face due to nervousness. She thought that it would be very dangerous if she suffered this attack.
Erte instead released flaming arrows, which easily suppressed the troll's regeneration ability this time.
But then this guy put an arm against the ground, and three stone thorns were stabbed out from the ground, the wall, and the ceiling. Fortunately, the sharp tips were not sharp enough, and Erte painfully withstood the attack of the monster in front of him, with the desire to survive.
Activate the power hidden in her body.
Erte drank a bottle of magic recovery potion and released the spiritual wind shield to protect himself. The troll stretched out his hand again, and cracks began to appear on the shell of his arm, and countless stone bullets flew over. Fortunately, he had added a protective spell, otherwise
Getting hurt again.
Erte once again released the flame's plastic energy spell attack, which achieved very good results. At this time, the troll spread her legs and squatted slightly. At the same time, the stone skin with her arms raised began to turn red and crack. She took the opportunity to release a
After using the fireball technique, a large piece of Shi's skin was now cracked, which was considered a serious injury.
The troll, which had fully charged up, jumped in front of Erte at a very fast speed and stretched out its hands in an attempt to catch her.
But Erte dodged aside, escaping this death embrace. After another attack, the troll's skin was completely torn, and its originally burly body became thin and red. However, its speed became faster and faster, and it jumped again.
Go in front of Erte and stretch out your hands.
But Erte was not interested in passionate hugs. This was not her type. So she took the initiative to lower her height to avoid another hug, and used a fifth-level ice cone technique to cool down the troll.
one time.
The troll, which had been stabbed with several ice spears, persisted and started to attack again at a faster speed. Erte fired five more magic missiles and cast another third-level spell. Her magic power was running out.
The troll's speed seemed to have no upper limit, and it finally caught Airt. It spun three and a half times in mid-air, and fell down together. Airt sat in the first-level lotus position, and was dizzy for a moment.
But she had to stay awake at this time, so she continued to unleash the scorching ray with full firepower.
The troll had already suffered enough elemental damage, but the seriously injured lord continued to attack faster. Fortunately, Alter's last flaming arrow finished off the enemy and he quickly gave himself first aid...
