Chapter 284

"He may have 'woke up' too."

"If that's the case, maybe we can try to... win him over."

Libel said, looking at the stone on the table.

The green stone, with unnatural and strange light, seemed like it shouldn't be here.

"After all, the witch doesn't seem to want to help us now."

Chapter 314 The Dust Corridor

Unlike the extremely dusty dungeon style brought by the name, the city where the Dust Corridor is located is a seaside city facing the sea - Posino Tower.

The location of this city is about southeast of the town of Novis at that time, and the distance is not far, about two to three days' drive.

Also, if it was too far from Novis Town - the most important dungeon in the original work, the abandoned captain of the Star of Enlightenment would not have died here.

It is not a very large city, but more like a typical city that "developed quickly because of a good dungeon".

As for Will and Shona...

Naturally, they arrived here by half carriage and half freight train - isn't this a very traditional way to borrow a little from the resources built by the Systrom family?

And it's rare that after so many times of robbing the safe house of the train, this is the first time I see an uncle in the safe house.

It really makes people worry about the safety of Systrom's transportation lines!

But, after all...

Why is it that freight trains are so developed now, but the Systrom family still has to wait a year before slowly developing passenger trains?

For the Systrom family, who only care about how to make money, this kind of thing that is conducive to the development of the dungeon should be done as early as possible?

Thinking about it carefully, perhaps because he is a member of the Systrom family, Will has a tacit "recognition" of some of the "decisions" of the Systrom family.

Even though some decisions are full of weirdness from the perspective of his known future, he seems to easily ignore the past.

"Huh... I'm here."

Will reached out and put on his hat.

He changed into the hooded jacket that he had snatched from Lucifer, which was too demonic dungeon-style. To be honest, Will always felt that Lucifer's clothes looked too "modern".

"According to the plan, all actions here, including entering the Adventurer's Association and the hotel, will be handled by you, Shuna, and I will enter by climbing over the wall or something like that."

"Yes. I understand that you are more worried that the disclosure of your whereabouts so far is related to the Adventurer's Association."

"The Adventurer's Association is spread across almost the entire Entak Empire... and no matter where I go, I always have to use the Adventurer's Association's "resources", which means that I have always been exposed to their eyes."

Until here, Will had a vague prediction about the appearance of the Dust Corridor and his own death.

But, he wanted to investigate further.

"In a sense, it would be even more convenient for the Adventurer's Association to find out where a person has gone than the royal family."

"Yes. But... I am curious about one thing, will I... be targeted?"

Shuna was beside him, extremely vigilant, looking around at the passers-by who passed by them one by one.

The largest crowd on the street is not the local residents, but the adventurers wearing all kinds of convenient or good-looking adventure clothes.

"... I thought about it."

Will nodded and walked through the crowd, and was particularly careful not to "face" the Adventurer's Association, but to turn his back to the Adventurer's Association.

"But this matter itself cannot be avoided. Because you are an S-level adventurer, you are always more dazzling than me. Even if you hide like me, you will most likely be discovered."

He looked at the people coming and going.

In this seaside city, it is very rare to set up a variety of small stalls, selling pottery and street stalls, which look more like products produced in desert areas.

Some of them are directly filled with colored sand and stone in some bottles, which even look like "souvenirs" taken directly from the dungeon.

Speaking of which, although it is only a B-level dungeon, the liveliness here is not small. Perhaps it is related to its relatively rare type.

The dungeon with elements as the core is the most common. Next, if it is various landforms and climates, they will also be similar to the local climate-Entak happens to be the country with the least desert areas.

There are many people and they come from many different places, and they are all adventurers who may only stay for one or two days.

Even if...

His left eye of the devil can see the color of "emotion" on them and mark those who are not friendly, he can't remember everyone for a few days here.

"What's more, I'm thinking..." Will was silent for a moment, "If there is really a mastermind, he probably won't care about you."

"Oh, what a contradictory statement. On the one hand, it says that I am a strong S-level adventurer, and on the other hand, it says that the mastermind won't care about me."

"Wrong, misunderstanding! I definitely don't mean to look down on you!"

"Oh, it's a little 'looks awkward'... I guess it has something to do with the original development of the story you saw, right?"

"Well... maybe?"

What Will was thinking was...

He looked at the back of Xuna who turned and left. In the sun, her long black hair seemed to be reflecting the sun.

Since Shona was a character created by him, and... she really belonged to the character in the mobile game that he had not seen in person - a character that even the original author himself was willing to cut.

There may be some key to breaking her fate.

Will didn't believe Shona.

He is trusting "himself".

I believe that in the previous life, this plan was proposed at that meeting, and Shona's design was finally implemented, so that she could stand in front of herself like she is now.

After her back disappeared into the crowd, Will looked up from under his hat and glanced at the sunshine.

Although the sun was dazzling, it was still winter, so he didn't feel warm. On the contrary, he shivered when the stronger sea breeze blew over.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sitting in front of the window of the "ocean view room", Will silently looked at the waves in the distance, hitting the beach layer by layer and fading away layer by layer.

"So, when are you going to...go to hell?"

He felt a chill on his cheek, as if a bottle of ice-cold juice was placed next to his face.

It may feel cool in the summer, but in the winter, it just makes the hair on your head stand on end.

"Go to hell, this... what kind of statement is this!"

Since it was given to him by Xiuna, he still reached out and took it.

"Well... when I just went out to buy necessities, I met a priest who helps people eliminate disasters and atone for their sins."

"Aha, I didn't expect the pastor to be like this."

Wei Xin said that he had seen such priests in his previous life and they were all called fortune tellers.

"He said everyone would go to hell if they didn't rid themselves of sin."

"It's such a common saying - so he wouldn't say that hell is a dungeon, right?"

"You guessed it right. He said that hell is similar to the Hall of Death, the most well-deserved dungeon in the modern era. I said yes, I have never been to that dungeon in my life. It would be a pity not to go and see it."

"You can go and see all the dungeons."

"That is the deepest dungeon dug now. Is it... closer to the deepest part of the dungeon? To put it far, you see, you also have to enter a dungeon and face death. Doesn't it sound like that? Like going to hell?”

"You..."

Will looked at the drink in his hand. He could already feel the abdominal pain from such a cold drink for the next two hours.

But Shona drank it all in one gulp.

"If I had to pick a time, it would probably be..."

Will paused.

"Wait until I figure out what the first floor of the Corridor of Dust is?"

After he truly saw the scenery of the city outside the Corridor of Dust Underground City, he fell into thinking——

A dungeon with desert scenery as its core, which can't even squeeze out much water.

Why……

First floor...

Will the one who smashes himself to death be a water-type slime?

Chapter 315: Gather in Novis Town

"Finally...I'm back here...Norvis Town."

Leah said as she got off the carriage that stopped in Novis Town.

"It's a pity that the dungeon here has been conquered since I don't know when. Otherwise... we can also see if there is an express train coming here."

She sighed and dusted off her magic robes.

Then, she slightly raised her big hat. In fact, in winter, wearing such a hat was quite warm.

She held the metal staff tightly in her hand, as if it was something extremely important, hugging it tightly as she walked on the road.

After returning from this trip, she roughly understood how the witch "walked" inside each dungeon.

Because the witch has the special ability to create a "mezzanine" in the dungeon and live in it, but it does not belong to any dungeon. The witch is like the "correspondent" of the dungeon's internal network - although Liz said that this communication system was only slowly established over a hundred years.

Therefore, as long as the dungeon where the witch builds her lair is like establishing a station, she can travel through it almost like teleportation - naturally, only for the witch's bloodline.

For more details, Leah, who has been living in the Witch Association with Liz these days, doesn't know much. According to Liz, she passed the test. If she is willing to stay, she can learn more.

"But, it's impossible. I can't stay until I get him back -"

She looked at the town of Novis and walked slowly through its streets.

Novis Town is obviously much more deserted than when she left. When she was still here, it was a town where the Adventurers Association could line up from the door to the entrance of the village, and there were a series of commercial streets that were regarded as a "newbie village". .

Now……

She walked through the door of XXX Bar, a bar where the owner was said to be the previous president of the Adventurers Association, but she only saw a deserted bar. Even in the afternoon, there were too few customers.

"I must find Will."

She casually grabbed the latest newspaper from the newsstand next to her.

She had stayed in the world of a witch who no longer seemed to care about time for a long time. She needed to understand what time it was now.

When she picked up the newspaper, her hands were actually shaking a little, and she didn't dare to read the time on it.

The three years at Entak Academy, the three years when Will was accepted as a student, were the real "three years spent in human time" for her.

Before this, her perception of time seemed to be subtle and different from humans.

So much so that she often came back to her senses and realized that the world seemed to have changed a lot.

Will these days of living with my mother also pass by for many years? If...if that's the case...

"No. Will told me. For me, there is no need to escape - be brave enough to see, feel, and get what you want..."

She unfolded the newspaper.

fine.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the time on it, at least in terms of year, had not changed.

It was about three months since she last met Will.

The first news in the newspaper was that Treya had canceled her engagement because she was dealing with the war in the north.

"Hmph, it seems that Treya didn't succeed either."

——Otherwise, with Treya's character, no matter where she is, she will fulfill her promise like crazy and tie people to get married.

As two people who are both "love rivals" and "teammates" and have a rivalry relationship in the team, she knows very well what kind of methods that person will use.

However, except for the one report related to Treya that was barely mentioned, there was no news about him in the newspapers, and even as a "child of the System family", there was no news about him.

"...Where will he go?"

"Judging from the two pieces of news I got, he was... kidnapped to the capital by Treya. And now it's obvious that Treya didn't get any information about him."
