The Eastern Continent, 12,000 kilometers from Crooks City.

This is a strange border city called Bode City.

"The rumors are actually true, there really is a 'vertical city' in this world!" A young merchant carried a large package on his back and looked at the scene in amazement: "How do you go up here?" Who are the people who live on it......"

The main body of Hakuduk Castle is a straight rock pillar, surrounded by craggy cliffs, and there are small houses hanging from the cliffs, but the mansion of the lord of Hakuduk Castle is located at the top of the rock pillars, and there are no ladders or other roads on the entire rock wall, so it is difficult to know how to get to the castle.

"Boy, are you visiting Balt City for the first time?" The older vendor next to him smoked a dry cigarette and looked at the shouting teenager with the eyes of a rookie: "The people who live in Bode City are all aliens named 'Bode people' who look like birds. If you want to trade, you can set up a stall at the 'Won Hand' market, but you will have to pay a management fee. ”

"'Won the hand'?" The boy repeated curiously.

"That's it." The middle-aged vendor pointed ahead.

"Oh~"

The boy realized that he had just been robbed of all his attention by the majesty of Bode Castle, and if he looked closely, he could see that there was a small village composed of five small rock pillars under Bode Castle, and those five rock pillars were like fingers, no wonder there was a call for Bode's hand.

"You kid must be thinking, 'Nature is amazing,' right? But in fact, neither Bode City nor Bode Hand is naturally formed. ”

"Won't it?" The young merchant was dumbfounded, wasn't this majestic rock pillar formed naturally?

"It's just a legend that has been passed down among the people...... It is said that a long time ago, the Bodhians and the High Elves were allies, and often 'patrolled the sky' on behalf of the High Elves, but later the High Elves committed great sins that the gods did not tolerate because of their growing ambitions, and the Bord people wanted to stop the High Elves, so they commissioned the Dwarven King and the Dwarves to create a 'weapon' that could compete with the High Elves. ”

The middle-aged trader took a puff of dry cigarette and smashed it, and then continued: "It's just that by the time the weapon is completed, everything is already too late, and the high elves are completely wiped out because of the wrath of the gods, and then the wrath of the gods also brought about a protracted war between gods and demons, which completely washed the whole world...... What we see now as the city of Bode and the Hand of Bode are said to be nothing more than the remains of that weapon. ”

"There is such a thing...... the young man listened with fascination.

"Hahaha, have you been deceived? There is no record of this kind of story at all, it is just a boast of winning people! The middle-aged trader pouted: "Okay, it's our turn, let's get ready to cross the suspension bridge." ”

The boy couldn't help but feel a little lost, but he still cheered up and was ready to sell the goods he brought for a good price.

But at this moment, the earth suddenly shook.

The ground where the five pillars of the 'Hand of Bod' were located suddenly burst apart, and the various town facilities that had been built in the Hand of Bode completely fell apart and turned into debris, and then a real giant hand reached out from the ground and grasped the lower end of the huge rock pillar of Bode City.

Immediately afterward, there was a violent transformation in the wasteland, and there were cracks and ravines everywhere.

The incomparably majestic body slowly sat up from under the earth.

It was a giant with dwarf appearance, but nearly three hundred meters tall!

With a force of his right hand, the giant pulled Bode City up from the ground!

The rocks on the surface of the city and the houses of the Bode people crumbled together, revealing its true face.

It was a huge sword.

In this way, the dwarven giant walked step by step in the direction of Crooks City, 12,000 kilometers away......

【Key to the Earth (Strange Object)】

[Item description: This is a key forged by the Royal Family of High Elves, symbolizing the chosen clansman, and it is also a certified token with the qualification of 'mystery'. Only the High Elves who have obtained the key will be able to enter the fourth layer of the Iron and Steel Land of the Elves to unify the True Kingdom. In addition, it seems that there are other uses for being a mysterious artifact.

[Maximum certification: 6 people]

[Instructions: With the 'Key to the Earth', you can teleport directly to the entrance of the Sky Darkness and open the path to the Iron Land in the Sky Darkness without entering the Shallow Crystal Layer and the Deep Wall Layer.] 】

[Note: The effect of the key can be activated within a radius of 10 kilometers centered on the resurrection point of the elven unified true kingdom]

"Finally it worked! Is this a quest item that can be used to access the next floor? ”

Edward, who had come out of the Elven Unified True Kingdom, looked at the key in Leah's hand and looked excited.

After Leah's death, Edward and the others did not continue to entangle with the glowing monster - in fact, when Leah took the key, the light in the turtle-like glowing monster's body disappeared, and it was immediately gnawed into a skeleton by various monsters that swarmed up.

Except for the big guy Joe, who moved too slowly and became a victim of the pond, everyone else escaped without incident.

This was the first time Edward had been so excited: although they had experienced a lot of near-death adventures in the past six months since they became players, this time was undoubtedly the most difficult and arduous, after all, it was no wonder that they had died at most once before, and this time everyone present had died more than twice in battle, and there was a period of confusion when they almost gave up without a clue.

However, the continuous excitement in the process of the strategy, and the sense of joy and accomplishment after overcoming the difficulties, are also not brought by ordinary simple tasks and adventures.

Human beings are such addictive creatures, even on the earth without extraordinary powers, there are so many people who have no hesitation to devote themselves to those extreme sports with "few foreigners" in pursuit of excitement and fulfillment, let alone in this world.

It can even be said that constantly challenging oneself and cultivating oneself is the taste of being a player.

"There are still two floors before the Raiders elves unify the true country!" Jessica, who joined halfway, was much calmer than the others: "And there are only four days left in the event. ”

"Do you want to take a break?" Edward asked the rest of the team.

"No, I can't wait to see what the next floor looks like!" Mufasha, who switched back to pink flounder, said flatly.

"Yu also thinks it's better to hurry up." Princess Leah nodded.

"Wait a minute...... 'So the way to get to the third floor is to get the key'...... Okay, I've sent out the guide. Goudan looked up from the player forum page: "I'm okay too!" ”

"Okay, then when Joe comes back to make up for the props, we'll set off for the steel land!"
