"It turns out that Master Poppy's missions may not always be beneficial."
Where Li Wen couldn't see him, Ah Zhi and the other four players were muttering quietly.
The failure of the previous main mission was something they did not expect.
Of course, they knew that their tasks were not completed well, or even poorly.
Except for some basic information, they didn't find any special information.
Therefore, the mission reward is only a small amount of gold coins and soul energy.
It seems normal, but that is the main mission assigned by Master Poppy!
It's certainly not normal to receive just such a small reward.
"It's okay, keep up the good work. This shows that the issues discussed by everyone on the forum before are correct. The operation of this world really has little to do with us. If we don't seize the opportunity and fail to open the door, the corresponding dungeon world may not have any chance with us.
, even Bobby-sama’s mission is no exception.”
"That's right, and isn't this mission coming again? We can't fail again this time~"
"By the way, who is the guy hiding in the cloak next to Mr. Poppy? Is he also a player?"
"I don't know...it looks mysterious. It's probably an NPC whose identity needs to be kept secret."
"Stop talking, stop talking, Sir Bobby seems to be ready."
The four players in the team, plus Li Wen and his clone, formed a circle holding hands.
The magic power can smoothly penetrate the bodies of the six people, thereby fixing the six people into one body to a certain extent, thus ensuring that they can be transported to the same place.
The first time he went to hell, Li Wen didn't know much about it.
In fact, even knowledgeable people probably won’t be able to come back.
His most knowledge about hell must start with... "The Pink Book"???
After carefully recalling it, Li Wen discovered that the information about hell he obtained from libraries in various places or even from Supreme Mage Stephen's personal library was not as detailed as what was recorded in the "Pink Book".
After getting Uncle Leonard's "Pink Book", Li Wen often used a learning attitude to carefully judge the various strange races recorded in it when he had nothing to do.
I have to say that the guy who wrote "The Pink Book" is definitely one of the most powerful people in the history of Gaia.
People practice martial arts and practice magic to protect their homeland and explore the truth.
This guy has all his otherworldly strength, but he uses it all to experience various styles of young ladies.
In the second level of the Nine Hells stands the iron city of Dis, which allows all plane travelers to trade and conspire. This may be the only place in the Nine Hells that does not resist creatures from other camps.
It was here that the old man bought 365 succubi with different characteristics and experienced the absurd life for a whole year.
This is the easiest place to get information.
However, if you want to get here, you must first pass through Avernus, the first level of the Nine Hells.
Under the regulations of Asmodeus, the Lord of the Nine Hells, all plane portals cannot directly connect to the lower realms of the Nine Hells, and even the first-time teleportation spell cannot bypass her authority.
…
Therefore, Avernus on the first level is the entry point for all travelers trying to enter the nine hell planes.
Avernus is a rocky wasteland filled with rivers of blood. The fiery rivers of blood flow like lava across its savage land. Fiery comets occasionally fall from the dark sky, leaving smoking impact craters.
.The empty battlefield is littered with weapons and bones, showing that the legions of the Nine Hells met their enemies on home soil and won.
The owner of this level of hell is the Grand Duchess Zariel.
A former angel.
The information is just that.
Brother Pink didn't have much interest in this angel. The records only mentioned her briefly, and her name was not even included in other information.
And here is the first stop for Li Wen and others.
As the azure magic glow shone, the figures of the six people gradually faded into blur.
Stephen and Jill, who were watching, waved goodbye to Li Wen.
They are all core figures in their respective territories, and it is impossible for them to take the risk of traveling to hell with Li Wen.
The light flashed and the figure disappeared.
…
The pungent smell of blood and thick smoke were mixed together, dark red and dim tones filled everyone's eyes, and countless dark red "big snakes" were meandering on the cracked earth on large rocks. .
A towering basalt castle stands on the top of the black cliff in the distance - that is the seat of power of the Grand Duchess Zariel.
It was his first time to travel to hell, and it was easy to fail to cast the "Transportation" spell aimlessly, so Li Wen designated this only landmark building on the first floor of the Nine Hells that he knew.
It seems to be quite successful.
"Lord Poppy..."
General Quan Sheng shouted softly from the side.
A prompt popped up on their dashboard.
[You have arrived at the first level of the Nine Hells - Avernus.]
[You are affected by the core rules of this plane.]
[Diffuse evil: Evil permeates the Nine Hells, and even travelers are affected by it. Travelers of non-evil alignment must make a Wisdom saving throw with a difficulty of 10 points after operating in this plane for more than 12 hours. Saving Throw On a failure, the creature's alignment changes to lawful evil. If the creature is unable to leave the plane within 3 days, the change becomes permanent. Until then, if the creature can be outside the Nine Hells After staying in the plane for one day, the creature's concept will return to normal. Casting a spell on the creature - Counter Good and Evil can also restore its alignment.】
The perception test with a saving throw difficulty of 10 points is not too difficult, and it is almost a must-pass for them who are already at level three.
It's just that those scary-looking words make people subconsciously scared, which makes them feel a little confused.
After all, until now they didn't know exactly what they were going to do.
Li Wen also didn't know that it was delusional for a newbie to get close to those powerful devils. As for ordinary devils... they probably don't have the qualifications and experience to understand the essential racial characteristics of devils. I'm afraid at least they can't. You have to be at the level of the master of each level of the Nine Hells to have this insight.
Not to mention guiding a specific environment to make the big devils take this aspect into consideration, and then rely on the player's power to obtain the racial characteristics of the devils...
Of all the people, only Seine River looked quite excited. This ultimate fighting maniac was already holding his valuable-looking emerald green staff, looking at the basalt castle not far away with interest, and almost asked directly Li Wen said, "When will we go up to kill you?"
"Or, let's sneak in first."
Li Wen expressed his opinion.
Perhaps because of the records in the "Pink Book", Li Wen is more familiar with Dis, the second level of the Nine Hells. At the same time, there are neutral institutions there that provide transactions and obtain information. However, if you want to get there, you must first go to the first level. You have to be familiar with it, otherwise you won’t even have an idea of how to proceed.
[Epic mission - Exploring Hell: The mission process has been changed. The current goal is to sneak into the basalt castle and find a way to the second level of hell. 】
As Li Wen revised the mission description, everyone suddenly had a goal.
After casting the "transformation" spell, the bodies of Li Wen, Seine River and General Quan Sheng suddenly transformed into different devilish images.
The fleshy wings like a bat and the tail like a whip like a triangular hook are the typical characteristics of many devils.
Li Wen did not choose those conventional images, but transformed into an image with blade-like wings on his back and a strong lizard-like tail that he had seen somewhere.
He felt more domineering this way.
It is said that devils are in awe of domineering high-level devils. Perhaps this image can make him feel at home in the hell city.
As for Miss Ranger and Ah Zhi... they couldn't do the magic of transformation and could only become prisoners of the three devils.
The way for human beings to descend to the inner plane is not only to reshape it here in the form of a spiritual body after death. Occasionally, in some special places with turbulent time and space and wonders of the world, the barriers between planes are often not so strong.
It is solid, so there is a possibility that some "lucky people" may accidentally step into the abyss, hell and other planes.
The first level of hell is a treasure hunting place where it is often easy to capture such "lucky people".
Many devils make this their profession.
It is theoretically reasonable for three people to enter the city with two prisoners.
So... why five people?
The four belated players looked back at the cloaked man. They still don't know who this mysterious cloaked man is.
"Master Poppy, isn't he with us?"
Li Wen shook his head, "He stays outside, don't worry about him."
"Oh~"
We don’t dare to say it, and we don’t dare to ask it either.
After giving the man a strange look, the four of them became more and more certain that he was an NPC, but they just didn't know why they were traveling with Master Bobby.
Watching the five people's backs gradually heading towards the towering mountain, Li Wen took off the hood on his head, and in silence, a transparent ball appeared next to him - Leomon's cabin.
Of course, the person with the player is... the clone.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
Li Wencai will not let his true identity take risks in a city full of demons. Once discovered, even Dark Bobby's identity cannot save him. It is completely unnecessary, right?
It would be wise to wait for news about the clone and the players outside the city.
The clones also have a five-ring spell called "Detection" that they release on their own. Every move they make, including the things they encounter, can be seen in real time. At critical moments, they can also use "SMS" to remotely command them.
.…
Now, all he needs to do is... wait.
…
"Why is everyone looking at us?"
"Maybe it's because you've never seen a beautiful girl like me..."
"Their succubi are obviously better looking than your tablet... and more exciting."
Of course, third-level players will not be blocked by the lava-like lava flowing all over the ground and the steep mountain road to the basalt castle.
However, the evil looks from some demons they met while passing by made the two younger sister players’ hearts skip a beat.
There are even some devils who are hanging behind everyone with malicious intentions.
Seine River excitedly clenched the staff in his hand, "Master Bobby?"
"Don't be impulsive."
"Li Wen" frowned.
Azhi and Miss Youxia quietly analyzed the reasons.
"Did General Quan Sheng use his transformation skills poorly?"
"Little Heizi exposed his chicken feet."
"impossible!"
General Quan Sheng raised his chin and whipped Ah Zhi's butt with his transformed tail, making a crisp sound.
"My transformation technique is flawless. This is the spell I am most proficient in."
"Then why are you staring at us? There are many devils with prisoners."
The closer you get to the top of the mountain, the more devils you encounter and the more evil eyes you see.
However, these devils seemed to follow some prohibition and did not approach or attack. They just hung behind everyone with playful eyes... as if they were waiting to see a joke.
"Perhaps it's because I've never seen prisoners with heads held high like yours?"
General Quan Sheng's gaze swept around and then back to the two younger sister players.
"Look at the prisoners, they look down and down as if the sky has fallen. What about you? Those who don't know better think you are here for tourism. Sister, can you be a little more dedicated?"
As a professional storyteller, what General Quan Sheng hates the most is these guys who can't fully immerse themselves in the plot.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes~"
"Okay, okay~"
General Quan Sheng's suggestion seemed to be quite effective. When Ah Zhi and Ms. Ranger acted like zombies who had lost their vitality, the demons who were watching dispersed immediately.
The movements are unified as if someone is directing them from behind...
"Into the city?"
"Are you entering the city now?"
"That's it?"
Everyone thought there would be some trouble, but there wasn't even a devil guarding the gate of the basalt castle, allowing everyone to come in and out at will.
The devil's city also has the stylistic features of human architecture.
Perhaps this is a magical race that exists in subjective imagination, but they are ultimately born out of the whims of countless creatures, and the main force among them... is undoubtedly the super-reproductive human beings.
Therefore, their urban style is almost the same as that of human cities. It is just that due to their special habits, certain layouts of the city have a significant sense of oppression.
The feeling of pressure from the upper class on the lower class.
The dominance of the upper devil over the lower devil is reflected in all aspects.
"grown ups……"
"Li Wen" had the spell "Language Understanding" applied to him so that he would not show his chicken feet when being approached by other devils.
"Um?"
The devil in front of him used his ups and downs voice to send greetings to Li Wen that were so pious as to be buried in the earth.
"Dear Lord Abisha Dragon Demon, are you the envoy sent by Lord Tiamat?"
"Li Wen" has a question mark on it.
I can't come?
Abishah the dragon demon?
What is that?
Is this thing I transformed into the dragon demon Abishah?
"Yes, that's right, it was Lord Tiamat who sent me..."
