Chapter 161 Inner Corridor
"How's it going? Have you registered everything?"
Not long after Kasha left, I came back to my senses and walked towards the teleportation station. The foursome were already gathered around the campfire, taking out hard dried meat and roasting it. The smell of bacon filled the air.
"Sir, you are so powerful. You can survive the wrath of Lord Kasha unharmed."
Seeing that the furious Kasha was sent away by me with only a few words, the four of them showed admiration in their eyes and expressed their sincere admiration for my magic trick.
Tsk, you guys know nothing. I signed a treaty that was humiliating to my country and gave up my "most beloved" sword. Is the devil Kasha that easy to mess with? I secretly disdain it.
However, I don’t intend to tell the truth to these four idiots, just let you think that Kasha is easy to talk to, and then try your best to provoke her, ha, I am too smart.
"That's right, although she usually looks a bit fierce, Master Kasha is actually very talkative, and she especially likes to give advice to newcomers like us. You should communicate with her more often to enhance your understanding, and don't let the rumors from the outside world confuse your eyes. .”
I coughed and pushed the four lost lambs to the edge of death in a serious manner.
"Is that so? It seems that the rumors are not very credible!"
The four people asked suspiciously, but in view of the scene just now, a feeling of "hearing is false, seeing is believing" emerged in their hearts.
"It seems we were wrong. We must ask Lord Kasha for advice if we have the opportunity in the future."
Nicole Yardi's eyes were shining and she said with high spirits, Kasha's combat skills were recognized as the best in the entire Rogge camp, and even Sharna, the number one master, was no match for her.
Seeing the four poor lambs fall into the trap, I sighed, in a way. The people in the Dark Continent are really pure! Kasha, that old drunkard likes to give advice to newcomers. Can you believe such open-eyed lies? If you insist on thinking so, then be prepared to become an errand boy.
As far as I know now, except for Sister Sharna, and maybe I can be counted as half of them, I have never heard that Kasha will specifically give special treatment to any job transferees. At best, it is a routine practice for students on the training ground. Just a few demonstrations. In my opinion, she believes in an absolutely meritocratic policy. In other words, unless they are newcomers with great potential, ordinary warriors will be enough to just receive daily training. Even if they come to her for elite strengthening, they may not make much progress.
In other words, in her mind, ordinary warriors keep their feet on the ground and become strong step by step. It is overestimating one's ability to expect to reach the top in one step even if one has little qualifications. She only provides elite tutorials here. However, I extremely suspect that she is using this reason to convince herself and give herself an excuse to be lazy...
While I was thinking about it. The mage here has registered my name for me. From now on, the teleportation station in the inner corridor will be open to me.
"What are you going to do next?" I interrupted the four of them's endless reverie.
"Huh? Well, the four of us plan to practice in the inner corridor for a while. At our current level, going to the cemetery is still a bit too reluctant." The Paladin replied honestly.
"Okay, it seems we have to part ways here."
I nodded and agreed with his steady and pragmatic idea. Although I didn’t know how dangerous the cemetery was, based on my observations in the past few days, the strength of the four of them was just right for the prison. If they rushed into the cemetery with such strength, dialect. That's probably no longer called experience, it's probably more likely to lead to death.
"That's what we plan to do. To be honest, when I'm with you, I feel like I'm not practicing. Although I'm very happy, we can't rely on you all the time..."
The mage smiled slightly and explained to me.
I was stunned. I never considered that it had this meaning. But it’s okay, they can’t practice with me here. And with them here, I can't let go. It might be a good thing to be separated.
After resting for a while, the four of them decided to set off immediately. I looked at the sky and it was almost dusk, planning to stay in the teleportation station all night. Seeing them waving goodbye, I felt a surge of emotion in my heart. The desolate feeling, after a few days of getting along with each other, made me gradually get used to the warmth of being with them. When I thought about having to move forward alone in the future, I suddenly felt a sense of emptiness.
As expected, it’s still a good team! Although it is enough for me to be alone with my current strength, this has nothing to do with strength. For a normal person, yearning for loneliness and the stimulation of silence are only occasional thoughts. Most of the time, they will still I long to have people around me to spend time with, share happiness and sadness, cheer together when we are happy, and comfort each other when we are in pain. Perhaps, Sister Sharna and I are the same, eager to be close, but afraid of being hurt. Therefore, we can blend with each other and feel a sense of identity like family members...
The whole night, I had a sentimental look on my face. My eyes slowly followed the blood-red moon in the sky, and I unconsciously wiped a snow-white shining saber in my hand.
"My lord must be missing his family..." Rogge Archer a.
"No, my lord must be in love..." Rogge Archer b.
"Hmph, childish, your ideas are really childish. How can adults be restrained by those emotions? Didn't you see that he was wiping his weapon? You must be thinking about how to kill enemies and how to become stronger. , how to save the entire Dark Continent..."
The mage next to him immediately retorted and said with a deep expression.
Fortunately, I was in a daze and didn't hear what they said, otherwise I might have vomited three liters of blood. I say to you guys, please don't randomly shape my image and put more pressure on me without authorization. In fact, I just feel a little lonely.
Majestic, spectacular, gorgeous, elegant... When I took the first step out of the teleportation station, several feeble adjectives were deeply engraved in my mind through my eyes.
The inner corridor gave me a completely different shock than the outer corridor, although there was only one word difference between the two. But they seem to be two completely different worlds. Although the exquisite and macroscopic architecture of the monastery and the outer cloister have impressed me a lot, I think people who come to the inner cloister for the first time will still be severely shocked. Shocked again.
If the entrance of the monastery and the outer cloister are likened to seeing a lush forest in a barren desert, then the inner cloister is like a blue and quiet crescent moon lake in the center of the forest. Fish with shining scales come from the water from time to time. Jumping out of the lake, noble unknown birds are playing gracefully on the lake... everything. They are all so beautiful and harmonious.
The wide walkway paved with snow-white marble seems to be used as a mirror. Even after thousands of years have passed, its beauty has not faded at all. On the walls on both sides of the corridor, every sculpture and every mural is like a mirror. Full of artistic atmosphere. As if you are in the exhibition hall of the Louvre in Paris, the snow-white fountain in the courtyard still gurgls water, making a clear and moving sound. The water lines fall from the stacked and coiled central statue. It exudes a pure white light, like a weeping willow caressed by the breeze. It is elegant but not frivolous, and matches the exquisite and regular gardening around it. It exudes an elegant and solemn atmosphere.
The most surprising ones are the churches with Gothic architectural style. The pointed tops of the towers are almost reaching into the clouds. It is really unimaginable how such tall and magnificent buildings could be built with the simple standards of the time. . If the outer corridor gives people the feeling of walking in a dark forest maze, here it is like being lost in a canyon that never sees the sun. Even at noon, it seems very gloomy. There is a rather heavy and solemn atmosphere surrounding the place. The solemnity emphasized by the red bricks, black tiles and white walls makes people's hearts feel heavy, as if they are carrying a huge boulder on their backs.
At the beginning, even me, an otaku who was born lacking an artistic nerve, was severely shocked. But then, as the battles became more frequent and intense. The surrounding environment and atmosphere. It was quickly forgotten by me. It seems that being simple-minded also has the advantage of being simple-minded. Should I be happy about this?
Compared with the third floor of the prison, I haven't found any new species added to the inner corridor yet, but as an advanced area, the monsters here are still stronger than the prison. The prison is restricted by the terrain, and the number of monsters gathered is not There are a lot of them. There are only hundreds of them in larger rooms, but in the inner corridor, the number of monsters has obviously increased. A group of hundreds of dark demons can be seen everywhere. With such a number, if the foursome encountered If it goes up, I really don’t know who will win and who will lose without using some tricks.
But compared to the prison, I prefer the environment of the inner corridor. As the saying goes, you are not afraid of thieves, but they are worried about them. The number of monsters is not a big problem for me. I can just take a detour or escape. There is nothing wrong with it. It's embarrassing. Those monsters that suddenly appear from unknown corners are terrifying. But now, compared with the insidious monsters in the prison, the monsters in the inner corridor may be relying on their numerical advantage, and they are obviously starting to have arrogance and stupidity. As expected, it is the environment that creates talents, I sighed deeply in my heart.
"Whoosh..."
"Huh?..."
Just as I was thinking this, I arched my body and walked cautiously through the white corridor, a black arrow shot from behind hit me right between my buttocks. If the distance had been a little lower to the left, it would probably have been... It can constitute the legendary anus explosion incident. I turned around angrily, thinking that it was the bone archer who had done something good again, but unexpectedly, it was dark in front of me, and I could see the skeleton of the bone archer that was as dazzling as snow.
"Whizzing……"
Another dozen black arrows were shot from the edge of the dark woods ahead. It was getting late, is there something wrong with my eyes? I rubbed my eyes, but couldn't see anything except a black patch.
Fortunately, Xiaoxue and the poisonous flower vine are still there. The blindness method may be effective for me, but for the ghost wolf with a keen sense of smell, and the flower vine that does not rely on vision at all, it is undoubtedly asking for death. They are the first to go over there. The black "forest" rushed forward, and for a moment, those dark things began to shake. It was only then that I barely discovered the outlines of several black objects that looked like crawling out of the ink tank. They vaguely resembled human beings. shape.
Black Archer…
Day, he really lives up to his name! I looked angrily at the dozens of panicked black figures opposite me. I originally thought I was done with the frightening sneak attacks in the prison, but when I saw them, I vaguely realized that an ideal paradise is simply impossible. It is wretched and has nowhere to go. Not here.
Very good, the leader seems to be an elite. The arrow that almost exploded the anus just now was probably her masterpiece. I waved my hand, and the prepared lava rock flew towards it with my fierce anger, although it was very He retreated alertly, but still did not avoid the exploding molten rock. A smell of burnt flesh suddenly wafted from the area that was splashed.
After capturing their outlines, the black blindfold has lost most of its effectiveness for me. This is a black archer elite with the skin hardening attribute, and its 12 followers. To be honest, the skin hardening attribute It's a bit useless to put on it, but if it's a particularly fast or multiple shot, it might still be worth seeing.
Therefore, in just a few minutes, Xiaoxue and I ended up fighting. To our surprise, this elite with useless attributes actually revealed a very useless piece of equipment - a small shield specially designed for Paladins. , the appearance is somewhat similar to a round shield. The difference is that the front of the small shield is engraved with complicated light blue incantations, and the surrounding is also inlaid with red metal. It looks a lot more gorgeous. You can imagine a person wearing armor. The noble paladin, holding a spear and a small shield, is eye-catching as he sits astride a white horse.
Small shield (gray)
Defense: 12
Critical Damage: 2-6
Durability: 20-20
Strength points required: 16
Required Level: 6
+8 to all resistances
Grooved (2)
For other adventurers who are not Paladins, this small shield can only be used to exchange other equipment with Paladins, but don’t forget that as a redeemer, I can use the abilities of any professional equipment.
As for the properties of the shield, I can only describe it as good, even better than the big three-hole shield I got in the black wilderness, because I don’t have any higher-end gem inlays than broken diamonds on hand (broken diamonds). Cracked diamond: +6 to all resistances if embedded in a shield), and it also comes with 2-6 heavy hit damage. Although I have not mastered the heavy hit skill now, it does not prevent me from hitting people with this shield. It still hurts when I hit people. It will be a little more painful than an ordinary shield, probably...
