Four corrosion marks erupted at the same time, and the violent magic elements swallowed up the enemy's figure in an instant, creating a spectacular scene of flames and storms sweeping through, water flowing and thunder roaring. The entire corridor was shaking, and the walls and ceiling let out low groans.
It seems like it will collapse at any time.
When the movement gradually subsided, there was no trace of the enemy in sight, except for a battered armor that looked like broken copper and iron, which was dissipating into pitch-black mist.
Olvera breathed a sigh of relief, put away the holy book, and whispered to herself: "It feels...so relaxing."
Although the process seemed dangerous, in fact the enemy did not even touch the corner of her clothes, and Oveira's blood volume remained full. Moreover, singing magic does not require a lot of physical strength like wielding a holy sword.
, so she didn’t feel very tired. At most, her head felt a little empty after her tense nerves suddenly relaxed.
After standing there awake for a while, she stepped forward to check her trophies under the constant urging of Alice, who couldn't wait anymore. She picked up three pieces of [The Ashes of the Remaining Fire] and an attribute orb from where the enemy's corpse disappeared.
-Power, but I didn’t see what I wanted.
"Where's the key?"
The princess blinked and rummaged carefully again to confirm that she had not missed any props, and then asked Alice doubtfully: "Don't elite monsters drop keys? Why can't I find them?"
"If you can't find it, it means it didn't explode." Alice's answer seemed so natural.
Ovela suddenly lost her mind: "But if there is no key, how can we enter the next floor?"
"It's very simple. Find other elite monsters and keep doing them until the key drops."
"Are there other elite monsters?"
"Of course, the elite monster is not a boss, so there can't be only one on each floor. The fifth floor is a novice level for you to adapt to, so only one elite monster is placed at the door. But starting from the fourth floor, it returns to normal
It's difficult. It's common to encounter elite monsters. Don't be so surprised. By the way, let me tell you, the corridor behind may be more difficult, so be mentally prepared first."
"Ugh." Olvera, who thought she had mastered this game, suddenly whined like a small animal: "Why is this..."
Ringer was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Is it fun to scare people, Alice?"
"It's funny... No, I'm not trying to scare anyone, I'm just telling the truth!" A certain golden-haired maid almost exposed her true thoughts, or rather, she has already been exposed.
Ringer ignored her directly and said to the slightly uneasy princess: "Don't worry too much, Miss Olvera, maybe the difficulty will indeed increase later, but you are also an adult with normal learning ability. You are better than those who only know how to learn."
Monsters that follow instinctive and stereotyped actions know their own advantages better, so it is naturally not difficult to deal with them."
This sentence should be to comfort yourself, right?
But there is no comfort in this tone.
It actually makes Oveira feel like she is facing a strict palace teacher.
She nodded with mixed feelings. On the one hand, she felt that Ringer was not that difficult to approach, but she just needed to adapt to his personality. On the other hand, she felt that Alice was a little bit disgusting, actually using such words to scare her.
Just keep moving forward with mixed feelings.
Fourth floor corridor, current progress: 65%.
……
After searching every branch of the corridor on the fourth floor, after destroying more than a dozen waves of incoming monsters, killing the fourth Cruel Shadow, and consuming a total of five pieces of [The Ashes of the Remnant], Olvera finally
The key to the ruler's room was found from the enemy's corpse.
"So tired." She had a slumped face, her hands and feet felt sore and weak, and her mouth was hoarse and dry. The former was due to the continuous swinging of the holy sword, while the latter was the sequelae of chanting magic for a long time.
"Is this tiring?" Alice expressed disdain: "Swiping and swiping is also part of the game. If you don't feel comfortable, don't play. Our game is very fair. As long as you put in enough effort, you can reap the same rewards. Vice versa.
It's the same thing, if you don't want to do it, don't complain that you're not strong enough."
"But we didn't produce anything good either."
After being criticized by her for having an improper attitude towards gaming and always thinking about getting something for nothing, Olvera couldn't help but muttered in a low voice.
So far, the props that have dropped the most are [The Ashes of the Remaining Fire], and then there are some attribute orbs that increase blood volume, magic power, defense power, and attack power. They are already in ruins. They are completely useless and can only be used.
Eating dust in the toolbar; not a single one of the most useful ability orbs has been seen.
Until now, Ovela's accessories column still only has jumping beads and rolling beads, plus a sensitive bead that can't be said to be completely useless, but can't be said to be very useful.
"That's because your face is too dark!"
Alice said categorically without any judgment: "If you were a European, would we be like this now? The explosion rate of the game is very balanced and there is no error. Therefore, you should look for problems from yourself more and don't encounter them.
It’s all the game’s fault!”
If she had a physical body now, she would definitely have a straight back, arms folded across her chest, sharp eyes, and a righteous attitude.
Olivia whispered: "I don't blame the game."
"Really not?" Alice expressed doubt: "Haven't you secretly cursed in your mind, 'Why is the explosion rate of this crappy game so low?', 'The data of this crappy game is not balanced at all', 'The map of this crappy game is
Why is it so complicated?', 'Designers and developers are all idiots'... and the like?"
"Really not." Ovela felt a little aggrieved. As Her Royal Highness the Princess of Beimang and the only blood descendant of the Laisili royal family, she was raised as the future heir of Beimang Kingdom from birth, and she underwent tedious and meticulous training.
Court etiquette education is so strict that standing, sitting, walking, communicating and even eye contact must conform to the elegance and dignity expected of the heir to the kingdom.
It was not until later that the effect of the curse gradually emerged that she was allowed to peel off these cold shells and truly live as a girl. To this day, Olvera has forgotten most of those complicated etiquette rules, but they are
The shaping of her personality will not change, so even though she has been buried in darkness for many years, she can still retain her kindness, simplicity, sensitivity and courage to recover.
Naturally, as Alice maliciously speculated, they would scold the developers and designers for being idiots because of the game's low explosion rate, poor data balance, complicated and difficult maps, and many other flaws. Even if they really wanted to scold them, they would not.
I won’t scold you in such a vulgar way, it’s not elegant at all, it’s not what a lady should say.
"Well, that's what I said." Olvera's aggrieved expression really made people want to believe it. However, Alice was a hard-hearted person and did not change her stance because of this. Instead, she carefully retained her skeptical attitude.
"But I always think you would scold me like this."
At this time, Ringer said unexpectedly: "Why?"
Alice replied without thinking: "Because I am..."
She realized something was wrong mid-sentence and quickly stopped it, but it was a little too late. What she just said had already revealed something unintentionally. The scene suddenly fell into a mysterious silence. After a few seconds, Ringer said to Olvera:
"If you don't want to hear what she says in the future, you can ignore it."
The princess nodded her head vigorously: "Yes!"
Alice: "..."
If there is a system narration here, she will definitely hear this prompt:
[Ovela’s favorability towards Ringer has increased!]
[Oveira’s favorability towards Alice has dropped!]
