Chapter 113: Do you have the will to fight against loneliness?
Olvera, who flexibly used sword combos, elemental combination magic and dodge counterattacks, wandered among the monsters on her own, and soon defeated these shadow beasts with claws and teeth - together with two huge and oppressive elite monsters.
, all destroyed.
The corridor was littered with severed limbs and flesh, glowing with black fire, and gradually turned into mist and dissipated, leaving only various props in place.
The blood bar on Ovela's head has only lost less than one-third.
She put away her weapon and rested for a while. After she had recovered her breath, she walked forward and began to pick up the props dropped by the monsters. Most of them were [Ashes of the Afterglow], and occasionally orbs would explode, but some
They were not as practical as the few orbs she was using now, so the princess threw them all into the inventory, destined to end up in ashes.
"Huh?"
She suddenly discovered a different prop, shining brightly among the monster corpses that had not yet had time to dissipate, so she walked over, picked it up, and checked its properties.
[Fragments of the key: One of the fragments of the key that was split. After collecting all the fragments, the key to unlocking the relationship between rulers can be synthesized. 】
"this--"
Olivia opened her mouth and couldn't help but ask: "Why are they fragments?"
The keys that were revealed before were all complete keys that could be used directly. Why did you have to collect the key fragments before you can synthesize a complete key when you reach the third floor corridor?
"Oh, you're talking about this." Alice's tone seemed quite nonchalant. Probably in her opinion, this was not a big deal: "Because there are no new elite monsters on this floor. If you explode the key from the elite monsters that have already been defeated,
It would seem too perfunctory, so I slightly modified the way to obtain the keys. From the perspective of game creation, this is also a very reasonable design. After all, each level must give players a sense of freshness..."
"In the end, I'm still lazy." Ringer interjected coldly, exposing the fact that a certain golden-haired maid tried her best to disguise: "I was unwilling to design new elite monsters, so I lengthened the process of obtaining the keys. In addition to delaying the players,
It seems to have no other use outside of game time.”
Both Oveira and Saint Xalia agreed quite a bit, and the little sheep even called out "baa". It was rare that there was no objection to Ringer's remarks.
"Stop, stop being so verbose!"
Alice was furious and shouted angrily: "Swiping and swiping is also part of the RPG game. If you don't like it, don't play it!"
Next came some words that everyone couldn't understand, such as "random numbers are pseudo-random", "Europeans don't lie to Europeans", "what's the point of playing Karazhan if you haven't graduated from Karazhan", etc. They were mumbling like this.
The gray-billed bird is so chattering that it annoys her teammates, and they want to block her, but this crappy game doesn't have this function.
In the end, Olvera raised her hands helplessly and surrendered: "I know, Alice, I will go and swipe the key fragments, so don't read it anymore."
The golden-haired maid suddenly felt proud: "That's right. A qualified RPG player must have the will and patience to play hard, and want to escape when encountering difficulties. How can that be done? Let alone insult the creator of the game,
Do you know how much I paid for this game? Do you know how hard it is for me to stay up late every night until I faint? Have you ever seen the sun at six o'clock in the morning in Rosting City..."
So annoying.
Everyone thought in unison.
…
In this way, Ovira was forced to set foot on the journey. The shadow beasts on the third floor corridor also ushered in a terrible massacre. The princess cut from the entrance to the deepest part, and finally stopped in the Gongyu.
In front of the door between the two, there are only three key fragments in his hand, which cannot be synthesized into a complete key.
Therefore, I had no choice but to go back the same way and sweep through the shadow beasts that had just been refreshed, and then I gathered the remaining two fragments and successfully synthesized the key.
But this was not the end, because after chopping and chopping, she found that she was back at the entrance again. In order to go back and open the door between the rulers, she had to walk the road she had walked twice, and at this time,
Those shadow beasts just refreshed again...
Ten minutes later, the princess stood in front of the closed black iron door, holding on to the hilt of her sword and panting, trying to take out the key to open the door, but she didn't even have the energy left, and finally sat down on the ground, looking very...
Embarrassed.
Her blood volume is still healthy and basically at full state, but the energy consumption cannot be displayed in numbers. Moreover, the repetitive work of cleaning the corridor three times in a row is too mentally polluting, causing her to hear the shadow beast's low voice now.
He would be startled by the roar, his spine would tighten involuntarily, and his whole person would be in a state of high tension.
"Isn't this going to work?" Alice felt that her reaction was too exaggerated: "You can't stand it after just half an hour of brushing. You are very weak, Olvera. I originally wanted to brush a hidden item, but I continued to
It lasted eighteen hours! Of course, it’s not as good as those real liver emperors. They all livered while infusing nutrient solution..."
When Olvera heard this, she couldn't help but shuddered and whispered: "The people outside are so scary."
Ringer: "..."
As far as young people know, even the most black-hearted factories will not force workers to work for eighteen hours continuously. Firstly, they cannot ensure work efficiency, and secondly, they are afraid of triggering worker riots, which will lead to interference from the United Order. Overall,
Words don't pay off.
But in the different world where Alice lives, high-intensity work for more than eighteen hours has become commonplace. From this point of view, although their civilization is more advanced, their social system is very barbaric and backward, which is sad.
After resting for a few minutes, Olvera finally regained her breath and walked to the black iron door, took out the key stained with the blood and wails of countless shadow beasts, and selected Yes on the pop-up system prompt as usual, and then
Watching the two doors slowly opening, making a low and sour sound, the darkness behind the cracks in the door suddenly overflowed through the lantern's flames and flooded into my eyes.
The night is like an abyss, in which the sea surges mournfully, and the sound of the tide is empty and distant. As far as the naked eye can see, it is bottomless darkness. Light cannot penetrate, and the line of sight will be cut off. Once a person steps in,
You will be submerged in it and you will not be able to find the way you came.
Such pure darkness will silently erode the boundaries of light. At the edge of the bright field opened up by the light of the lantern, the light is penetrated by the darkness, showing a state of interlocking teeth, as if a beast from the dark world is spreading its fangs.
My teeth penetrated this tiny island, trying to swallow up the glimmer of light.
Due to the curse, Olvera has always had an instinctive fear of darkness, and the darkness she saw in front of her was far worse than any darkness she had ever seen in the past. It was deeper than the night and thicker than the fog. Just watching
, giving people a suffocating feeling of being out of breath.
She subconsciously stopped and hesitated to move forward.
At this moment, from the distant darkness, a hoarse and sad song suddenly came. It seemed like the siren mentioned in the story, hovering on the rocks in the deep sea, calling out to the wandering cruise ship in the mist.
She sang in a sad voice——
"Eternal night and dreamy abyss, hardship and thorns;"
"Endless darkness, surrounded by thorns."
"The body is like a reed, rising and falling with the waves;"
"Life is like a small fire, fleeting."
It lingers in my ears, like weeping, complaining, mourning or admiring.
This ballad...
Olvera's eyes blurred for a while, as if she was recalling the past at this moment.
At this time, someone suddenly asked: "Do you have the will to fight against loneliness?"
"Your Highness the Princess?"
