The Remaining City's Ideal across the Sky Chapter 70 Closed Loop
After leaving Boland City, Zogwen spent nearly two months and finally arrived at the explorer's holy land - Northria. Since there are quite a few spellcasters among the explorers, this city has no spellcasting restrictions or mystery locks.
It was naturally much easier for Zogwen to enter, and here Zogwen saw many strange-looking aliens - such as humanoid creatures with furry bodies and even animal heads and tails, which were not completely transformed into energy forms.
Spellcasters, even living snake-men.
He simply disguised himself and entered the town. After all, dark-skinned elves were still not very popular.
The streets of Northlia are extremely lively. The buildings in this city are even more than ten stories tall, and there are many five- and six-story buildings. They are even more prosperous than the capital Rosemary - all thanks to the underground city under the city.
.
Zogwen planned to drive straight into the underground city to find the crystal mine.
However, you can hear countless information on the street. For example, source energy crystals are the remnants of monsters produced in dungeons after their death. But there are more than just source energy crystals. For example, the terrain of the dungeon will produce
Depending on the change, monsters may also be generated in nearby locations out of thin air. There is also a hydraulic ladder at the entrance of the dungeon, which can be used to descend directly to the bottom of the Sixth Water Cave on the 15th floor.
It took him some time to realize that there was no mine, and he was limited by his fixed thinking. Then he asked a random passerby: "How can I enter the underground city here? Do I need a permit?"
"First time here? You can enter as you like if you are not afraid of death, but the hydraulic ladder must be used by an upper-level explorer." But Zogwen's disguised identity is only a lower-level explorer. Although it is better than the lowest level, there is still an intermediate level between him and the upper level.
, let alone the highest level. After the passerby finished speaking, he left in a hurry. He asked several more shops and explorers, but they all got the same answer.
Considering that what you need is the purest source energy crystal, so there is a high probability that only the lowest level can get it, so you still have to go to the Explorers Association. As the saying goes, get twice the result with half the effort.
The proof for junior explorers to assess intermediate explorers is to successfully obtain the drops from a total of one hundred monsters on the sixth and seventh floors, or to kill the lord-level monsters on the fifth floor alone, and then they can complete the promotion. As for the fifth floor,
The regeneration rate of lord monsters is once every three days, but there are a large number of explorers waiting in line. Only after receiving the application can you challenge it, and the queue alone will take a long time.
Zogwen frowned and thought for a while, thinking that the answer was already obvious. Instead of wasting so much time, it would be better to make enough food and clothing by himself. He wanted to go directly.
Maybe we can meet some friends on the road. After thinking about it again, Zogwen slapped himself in the face and murmured to himself: "Looking for encounters in the underground city is a bit suicidal, isn't it?"
What's interesting is that the nicknames of the dungeon levels are inversely related to the explorer rating. The first to fifth levels that the lowest level explorers can challenge are also called the top level, where humanoid creatures gather, and the environment is an ordinary grotto.
The top level is not a problem for Zogwen, most monsters can't hit him. Then they just rush down like a reckless man.
However, because the dungeon undergoes considerable changes every once in a while, it took Zogwen about six hours to reach the fifth floor and enter the exit of the sixth floor. There is currently no lord level spawn in the lord room, so
This is the only safe place to rest.
Zogwen found a high point to set up camp near the lord's room on the fifth floor. He rested for a while and ate something. However, other explorers kept returning to the top floor or entering the upper floor, so he could not sleep.
"When will this ghost lord show up?" After the break, Zogwen wanted to simply pull a summon monster and let it act according to his orders. The evil spirit summoned by the sixth-level evil summoning spell is not
A real demon in the real sense, but after thinking about it, he gave up and decided to remain invisible.
Entering the sixth floor, which is the upper floor, the caves here are covered with many vegetations, dominated by Warcraft-type monsters.
Invisibility cannot avoid all monsters, but it is enough for Zogwen to safely hunt a hundred drops. However, this requires several trips back and forth. After all, one person cannot rest.
The home-like environment made him want to summon high-level demons again! Considering what he would do if he met ordinary explorers, he might as well become invisible...
Zogwen plans to continue hunting here. Since the lord has not appeared, there is no need to wait. After all, he is a high-level contract warlock!
He had to wait in line to apply at the association headquarters, and he imagined whether he could take the hydraulic ladder directly down to the fifth floor. He also thought about whether he could teleport directly down through any door! Since it is layer by layer, he should be able to roughly estimate this.
The thickness of each level of the dungeon.
However, relying on this spell is not enough. If there is any mistake, the transmission will fail, and then there is no way for a person to rest and recover magic power in the dungeon. Even a contract warlock only needs one-eighth of the time of other traditional spellcasters.
This idea is just a rational use of caster resources. It does not reflect the thinking ability and thinking mode that a qualified high-level professional should have. The same travel experience in the past did not bring good habits to Zogwen. He has no confidence in his own strength.
Arrogance and low self-esteem form a self-enclosed closed loop.
How to prove that you are a high-level professional? You have to kill monsters. The stupidest way is indeed this. But it is a good thing that you can apply for level verification without casting a high-level spell. That cannot be a good thing for someone to immediately rise to the level.
It's not fair to have a high-level explorer's certificate, although it is indeed considered very powerful among spellcasters.
He also thought about whether he had a certificate to enter the hydraulic ladder, but he could sneak in stealth. However, the explorers who took the hydraulic ladder were also high-level professionals, and he couldn't think of a normal way for a long time.
I had already thought of this, then I thought of it again and I came down without getting any information. I don’t even know at which level the source energy crystal core you want will be dropped, or if it will be dropped by the lord monster.
Zogwen even thought about whether he could kidnap a high-level explorer and let others take him in. Or he could find a team of high-level professionals and let them take him down.
In addition, there seems to be a way to join a large faction, but there is no way to succeed here.
He returned to the entrance of the first-level dungeon, intending to look for a team of explorers nearby who were getting ready to go. However, it was already evening when he returned to the entrance hall, and all the explorers were heading out.
The square outside the dungeon entrance is slightly dark, and there are many explorers on the benches saying goodbye to each other or discussing tomorrow's progress, but the streets next to it are brightly lit.
Zogwen lit a stick of incense and put it on the chair. This was a hint to ask for help. As a result, after waiting for half an hour, only one person looked at him like he was a psycho and left.
After the incense burned out, he would randomly find a guy who had a team and seemed to have better equipment and asked him.
Zogwen approached a team of lower-level explorers who were not in bad condition and were probably returning from the upper levels. There was a tall, thin sword-and-shield warrior with gray hair and two dark circles under his eyes, and a man with long blue hair and a burn on his face.
Spearman, a red-haired female mage, and a short black-haired artificer with a mechanical prosthetic leg.
"Brothers, welcome to Triumph! Do you want to go to the nearby pub to have something good? I'll treat you tonight!"
The four people looked over in confusion, and the black-haired mechanic who was the height of a child was even more confused and asked: "Whose friend is this?"
The red-haired mage took a half step back and shook his head.
"Hahaha! Don't you recognize me? I am Zogwen, the well-known contract magician in Bolan City!"
The tall and thin man laughed twice: "Although I don't recognize you, I welcome you if you want to make friends."
The spearman just remained silent, silently observing Zogwen.
"Brother Carl, do you still remember that we were in Bolan before...ah, I'm sorry, I seem to have recognized the wrong person." Zogwin's acting was so bad that he didn't believe it himself.
"No, it's okay." The red-haired wizard whispered. She might have been frightened.
Zogwen lit a small ball of light using the magic dance light technique, and after illuminating it in the dim sunset, he sighed. "That's it, my friends in the association in Bolan need a material called energy crystal.
Before I lost my memory, a buddy once said that I could come here to find him, but...but I have no clue. There is no way, they need high-concentration crystals, but I have no idea how to get them."
Then the other party gave information that normal people can ask. "Monsters on the first to fifth floors all produce fragments of source energy crystals. The complete source energy crystals must be on the sixth to tenth floors. Purify the source energy crystals."
The fragments of the high-concentration source energy crystals required for the stone are on the eleventh to fifteenth floors. The complete high-concentration source energy crystals can only be dropped from the sixteenth to twentieth floors." The spearman spoke as Zorgnan.
Explain, even if you ask people directly, they won't tell you. It's really difficult to evaluate after taking such a big turn.
"Oh?!" Zogwen's eyes lit up! "Since you all know so much, can you lead me to a place where I can obtain high-concentration source energy crystals? After this is accomplished, our Bolan Association will be greatly grateful.
!”
"We ourselves are just mid-level explorers. If you really want that...you have to find those big factions. There are even many factions that are conducting raids at the lowest and deep levels." Qi Zhi said.
"Oh, so which major factions are currently recruiting people to conquer the lower levels?" Zogwen asked again.
"Friend, you have to investigate this yourself. We still have something to do, look at my eyes." The tall and thin man sighed. He was obviously the talker of the team and had lost his patience.
"Wait a minute! A little parting gift." Zogwen threw them the box of smoke pills he bought before. He had no use for them. "If you can't beat them in the future, don't fight hard. This is our product of Bolan."
, if it’s useful, remember to give it a good review. By the way, can you tell me where the nearest big faction is?” He asked again. “It will be easier to find them one by one nearby.”
"Thank you very much." The tall and thin man who caught the small box said, "Look over there, the most splendid building. That is the stronghold of one of the strongest factions, the Gigwen faction."
