Volume II, Chapter 147: Night Talk
The shawl-haired middle-aged man shrugged at Thor's question.
"The reincarnation dungeon, some say there is nothing but corpses there. It is also said that there is everything, because you will meet all kinds of monsters that you have imagined and have not imagined, as well as monsters that only appear in dreams. ”
"Actually, no one can say in detail, the people who go deepest have actually only reached the eighth layer of the dungeon, according to them, there is a wider space under the dungeon, but unfortunately their strength has reached the limit. ”
Of all the bounties, this location has the most and the most generous bounties, because it is hoped that brave people will bring back the relics of their friends or relatives.
"The relics are very puzzling, some are trivial, and some even ask to bring back the heads of their loved ones. Oh, by the way, I'm the manager of this adventurer's inn, and I'm half a guide for novice adventurers, you can call me Herry. ”
"Of course, in addition to what I said above, there are many special guys in the secret realm. Like a Traveler, a Headless Horseman, a Collector, a Captain, a Demon Hand, or a lost child. Herry gave Thor a general introduction.
Although Herry has a hideous scar on his face, he is not as sinister as Saul thinks, and is actually quite a warm person.
"Excuse me...... Traveler, Collector, are these merchants who trade temporarily in secret realms?" Thor asked, uncertain, vaguely thinking that it was not, but the names confusing him.
"No, those are the nightmares of all adventurers, and you better pray that you never meet them, and even if you do, run away decisively, if you can. I can't go into details, after all, most of the people who confronted them were almost dead. ”
"And some of the scattered information doesn't sound like much of a reference, after all, it's hard to tell which ones are the imaginations and nightmares that are caused by over-scare, and which ones will help the adventure a little bit. Herry replied.
"Then why don't adventurers go to the Dark Wilderness to experience and choose the secret realm?" Thor was a little confused.
"Because the wilderness is unstable, for example, if you want to hunt demon souls, you may encounter strong enemies in the wilderness that are several orders ahead of you, or you may find nothing for a whole day. But the secret realm is different, you go to the same secret realm many times, and gradually you will get used to it and become familiar with it. ”
"How do I enter the Secret Realm, then?" Thor asked his most concern.
"There are many ways to open secret realms, and some secret realm cracks will also naturally spawn and appear in all corners of this continent. However, the most common and convenient scrolls on the market today are scrolls, and there are many of them in the Secret Realm Scroll Market, of course, I also have them here. ”
Herry lowered his head as he spoke, and lifted from under the counter a large tray of wooden-trimmed red cloth with several scrolls neatly arranged on it, as if to show the adventurers, and Thor swept his gaze over the names of the scrolls one by one.
"Moonlight Glades, Shadow Swamps, Hurricane Ridge, Grotto of the Despicable, Dream Forest, Silent Bay, Foothills of the Souls, ......"
In short, it seems to be some strange places, presumably no matter which place you want to enter, you must have a basic understanding in advance, and then complete a risk assessment based on your own strength and team structure.
In the end, Thor's eyes fell on the reincarnation dungeon, after all, he had been talking about it all along.
Of course, he didn't dare to talk in a few words, and Thor just remembered that Herry had mentioned at the beginning that this secret realm was suitable for adventurers of the first to third orders.
"And what about the price? like the reincarnation dungeon. Thor asked.
"Twenty Silver Wolves, including the cost of crafting the scroll and the collection of secret fragments. In the future, if you get a secret realm fragment while hunting monsters, you can also ask someone to make a secret realm scroll yourself, and then the cost can be reduced. Herry replied.
"Uncharted Fragments...... What is it?" Thor was a little embarrassed, he didn't know anything that sounded like common sense to others, and it seemed that he still didn't know enough.
"Whether it is the Dark Wilderness or the Secret Realm, after the second-order or above monsters are hunted, in addition to the Demon Soul, there is also a certain chance of the Secret Realm fragments. Oh, it's like a stone, with ancient runes engraved on it, and that's the Secret Realm Fragment. ”
There was no mocking or contemptuous look on Herry's face, and he was still patiently answering for Thor. Thor knew in an instant, he had been dealing with first-order enemies so far, no wonder he hadn't seen it.
"The method of using the scroll is still to tear it, and the person who tears the scroll will become the caster. When the portal is opened, it will remain for as long as the caster enters but does not come out, unless the caster dies. Herry explained.
"Then what if the monster runs out of the secret realm gate during the period when I enter the secret realm and don't come back?" Thor suddenly thought, because he saw that some adventurers actually opened the secret realm door directly in the post hall .
"That shouldn't be the case, and I've never heard of it. It is said that the production of the scroll itself has a strong restriction or damage to monsters, and most monsters actually have intelligence, but they vary from high to low, and they will instinctively stay away from the door of the secret realm. Herry replied.
"Then can I also enter the doors opened by these adventurers, and won't I even save my own secret realm scrolls?" Thor looked at the two blue light secret doors in the hall, and a new idea came to him.
"Yes, but most seasoned adventurers don't usually take advantage of it. Because if you are not familiar with the team that opened the door, you don't know which secret realm they are going to, what kind of adventure environment they have, and what kind of enemies are waiting behind the door. ”
"Entering someone's door rashly is actually very rude, and you may not be able to come back in the end. Herry smiled and shrugged.
Thor smiled a little embarrassedly, he didn't want to take advantage of anything, it was just a temporary divergence of thought.
In the end, Thor picked a secret realm scroll for the reincarnation dungeon, after all, Herry patiently answered it, and it was a little unreasonable not to buy anything himself. The key is that Thor feels that he also needs to go to the secret realm to have a look, and he doesn't dare to say that he will gain it, which can be regarded as part of his experience.
"If you want to reincarnate in the dungeon, remember not to retreat, with your second-order strength, you can explore the first and second floors, and usually those two floors are also the more active areas for beginner-level adventurers. Further down may be reluctant, in short, you judge for yourself according to the specific situation. ”
Seeing that Thor chose the reincarnation dungeon, Herry didn't feel any surprises, but when he handed the scroll to Thor, he added some suggestions that he could think of for the time being.
After thanking him sincerely, Thor left the Adventurer's Station.
Picking up the boring and boring Mule Brother at the door, Thor returned to the hotel where his group was resting.
Originally, Saul did not plan to stay in the ancient capital of Karot for a long time, so he only needed a room for one day, and now it was time for the rent of the hotel, and after receiving Timo, Saul did not renew the rent, but went to the urban civilian area to find a family that looked like a farmer.
There is not enough forage for mules and horses, and such farmers have enough forage reserves.
After talking to the farmer's owner, Thor paid for the lodging fee, and handed over the mules and horses to the care of the farmer's seven or eight-year-old daughter. The farmer's family also enthusiastically tidied up a utility room and laid out a soft hay bed.
The reason why such a family was chosen, in addition to the forage for the mules and horses, Thor was ready to rest for the night, and tomorrow he would directly open the secret realm in this utility room. Thor had already explained to the farmer's family, and they wouldn't rush in and disturb him.
"I'm going to go into the secret realm tomorrow, do you want to go with you?" After nightfall, Thor explained to Timo what the secret realm was all about while preparing the food, and then asked Timo if he would like to participate.
"Oh my God, can you finally go out and breathe? Then why ask me? Hurry up, I'm going to starve to death. Teemo flew around the fire, seemingly preoccupied with the aroma of the roasted meat.
"If you don't mind, just tell me, you used to ...... What kind of person is it?" Thor asked suddenly.
"Oh, I don't remember exactly. I seem to have slept too long, and when I wake up, I seem to have forgotten everything except for some common sense and language skills, and that matters?" Teemo asked rhetorically,
"It's not that important, no matter what you look like, you have the right to keep the past. It's just that we're team-mates in a team now, and I just want to get to know each other better. Thor replied, but his heart was a little solemn, and he felt a little sad for Teemo.
People live because of their memories.
Even if you live for a hundred years, if you don't remember anything about that hundred years, you have no memory. How do you prove that you ever lived? Or what is the point of living for a hundred years if there is not even a trace of afterimage left in your memory?
"Actually...... You don't necessarily have to join me on the adventure, I'll just take care of those things on my own. You can follow me around as a friend, and you don't have to worry about the little things like food and shelter. ”
"As for what I said earlier, the team doesn't keep waste, it's actually normal vigilance and distance when we're still strangers to each other, can you understand?"
"Actually, I think it's good, after all, I woke up from the chaos and couldn't think of anything, it seems good to take risks with you, maybe I've done something similar before!"
"And maybe no one can accept a guy like me running out indiscriminately. Teemo's jaw snapped, as if trying to remember something.
"No, you didn't understand what I was saying, it doesn't matter to me if you're a skull or something. But if you decide to choose to go the path of an adventurer, put away the joke mentality, and I'll tell you about that in advance. ”
"In a team, even if your teammates don't die because of your mistakes, they will eventually leave you because of your incompetence, can you understand the meaning of this sentence?" Saul asked in a solemn tone.
"Yes, Boss, I've decided. In the future, you have the final say, and I will also seriously contribute my modest strength. Teemo spun around in the air.
"Don't call me Boss, we're adventurers, not wilderness bandits, you can call me Captain. ”
"Okay, Boss. ”
The food on the fire was cooked, and it was a dinner that Thor had prepared with great care.
And, of course, alcohol.
