Chapter 24: The Tower of Babel

Four days have passed since Hestia asked for leave to go out, and tomorrow is the day Wei Jun enters the dungeon.

Early this morning, Wei Jun did not go to Jianyu Leina to train as usual, but slept until nine o'clock in the morning with a rare night's sleep.

The alarm on the mobile phone rang, and Wei Jun fumbled on the bed for a while with half-squinted eyes before turning off the alarm. Lazily getting up from the bed, Wei Jun yawned and walked to the bathroom to wash.

After going downstairs and having a hasty breakfast, Wei Jun went out with the well-dressed Xi'er.

Because tomorrow is the day when Wei Jun enters the dungeon, and the training at Jian Yulei ended last night.

In order to thank Jian Yulei for taking care of him this month, Wei Jun hosted a banquet for all the members of the Jianyu Lei clan in the tavern last night, and even Mihe and Nazha were called over by him.

In this regard, Jian Yulei and Mi He did not hesitate, and readily agreed to Wei Jun's invitation.

After all, they also knew that Wei Jun was a small local tyrant, and they didn't need to be too polite to Wei Jun because they had a close relationship with the Hestian family.

They also seriously told Wei Jun last night that he must be careful when he enters the dungeon.

In Jian Yulei's opinion, even after a month of training, Wei Jun was still not even a qualified swordsman.

However, this kind of strength is barely enough to enter the first floor of the dungeon to adventure.

In order to prepare for tomorrow's adventure, Wei Jun needs to buy some equipment and props that he needs.

If nothing else, equipment and elixir alone are essential items in an adventure into the dungeon.

The elixir Wei Jun has always had in stock, after all, every time he came back from the Jianyu Thunder clan this month, there was not a single one that was not scarred, and the elixir that Mi He gave him had already been used up by him.

Because of this reason, Wei Jun has not patronized Mihe's pharmacy for most of the month.

The elixir is in stock, Wei Jun doesn't need to buy it anymore, weapons and equipment are Wei Jun's goal. However, as for the purchase of equipment or something, Wei Jun said that he didn't know anything about it.

After learning about Wei Jun's situation, Xi'er volunteered to take on the task, and assured Wei Jun that she would definitely let him buy the most cost-effective equipment.

For such a beautiful thing, Wei Jun naturally would not refuse.

It's countless times better to shop with a beautiful girl than to go shopping alone with a big man.

Walking on the main street with Xi'er, Wei Jun's eyes glanced at Xi'er who was bouncing to the side from time to time, humming a little song happily.

Unlike the work clothes she wears on weekdays, today Ciel changed into a cute white women's shirt with lace and a short skirt, which has a lively and light feeling.

Well, it's so cute!

Wei Jun gave such an assessment.

As if sensing Wei Jun's gaze, Xi'er turned her head and smiled sweetly at Wei Jun.

Seeing this, Wei Jun's eyes were a little evasive, and he hurriedly looked away, and then pretended to be calm and spoke to Xi'er.

"Xi'er, where are we going to buy equipment?"

With a chuckle at Wei Jun, Ciel turned and pointed to the huge building in the center of Olarie.

"That's where we're aiming for today. I don't really like that place, but the equipment is the best in all of Olarie. โ€

When Wei Jun saw it, he was slightly stunned: "Isn't that the Tower of Babel?" โ€

The Tower of Babel, a building facility belonging to the Guild. Located in the central plaza of the main block, it is a skyscraper facility with an overwhelming presence.

The Tower of Babel was built directly above the dungeon and was the only entrance to the dungeon, acting as a cover for the dungeon.

Thousands of years ago, when the gods were not yet in the lower realm, it was common for monsters to appear on the ground.

The damage is said to have been severe, with damage to the surface and oceans of the world.

In order to prevent this from happening, this giant tower was built.

In other words, this is the breakwater (seal) that prevents monsters from leaving the dungeon.

The Tower of Babel has more than 50 floors, and the 4th to 20th floors are commercial shops leased by the guild to tenants.

As for the 20th floor of the Tower of Babel to the 50th floor at the top, this is confined to the place where the main gods of the two great families live in this Eularion.

In the giant tower, which can be called a symbol of the labyrinthine city, a part of the gods who are noble and like luxury live in it, which is also extremely natural in a sense.

The decoration of each room has been carefully prepared to the limit of splendid luxury, and the view from a position where no other building is allowed to follow is a superb view of the vast city.

Since it is rented out under the management of the guild, the main god and his family who live in it have to pay a huge price for the stay.

These expenses alone are enough to buy accommodation in the highest class of living in Olarie.

In other words, this is a high-end residential building that only the gods of wealth are allowed to live in.

As far as Wei Jun knew, such a luxurious residential building was actually contracted by a tycoon.

One of the two kings of Euari, Freya, the goddess of beauty.

However, when the Tower of Babel was first built, it was not such a huge tower as it is now.

Originally, the Tower of Babel was built to suppress and prevent the monsters of the dungeon from escaping from the labyrinth. It is said that the Tower of Babel at that time was not much different from the surrounding buildings.

However, when the gods first descended on this land, the Tower of Babel collapsed, and it was smashed to the top of the Tower of Babel like meteors by the gods who had just come to the nether.

Knowing the group of gods who like to play pranks, Wei Jun dares to guarantee that those guys are definitely deliberately sabotaging.

Wei Jun could even imagine a group of Olari residents who had finally built the Tower of Babel celebrating on the streets.

The Tower of Babel, which they had painstakingly completed for countless days and nights, was destroyed by a group of gods who descended from the sky.

The corners of Wei Jun's mouth couldn't help but twitch as soon as he thought of the group of evil spirits who were laughing and apologizing at the old Olali residents who were frozen with their mouths half-open.

However, most gods just like to play pranks, and there are very few gods who are really bad-eyed.

The gods who destroyed the Tower of Babel apologized and built it again, no, it should be said that it was to suppress the dungeon, and the gods gave the gods the favor to the inhabitants of the old Eulali.

The inhabitants of Eurario at that time were in awe of the empowering and dedicated the Tower of Babel as their place of residence.

Until the gods appeared in various parts of the Nether Realm and established and extended the system of kinship to the whole world, the relationship between worship and worship continued, and it can be said that the Tower of Babel was built so high to show the majesty of the gods.

The street that the two passed by, just in time for the lively time period, was still full of people as always.

Shops are big or small, and the clerks at each store are shouting at the flow of people.

Occasionally, a clerk would talk to Pretty Hill, but she just smiled sweetly and waved her hand to deal with it.

The orc clerk who was accosted by her was even more happy and fell into a state of hollowing out his body.

This scene made Wei Jun have to sigh at the powerful charm of the girl.

Ciel acted like a cheerful elf all the way, and the two soon arrived at the location of the Tower of Babel.

Central Plaza.

A giant tower with white walls, a circular arrangement of houses that enclose the entire Tower of Babel.

You can see greenery and fountains of various shapes everywhere, so even if it is called a park, there is absolutely no problem.

Although there are many citizens who have nothing to do with the dungeon on the way here, there are many adventurers who have nothing to do with the dungeon, but in the central square, almost all of them are adventurers carrying various weapons such as large swords and guns.

The most terrifying thing is that even with such a dizzying number of people, the place still doesn't have the slightest impression of being crowded.

"It's still so lively here!"

Seeing the huge flow of people around him, Wei Jun couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Xi'er listened, tilted her head with a smile, and looked at Wei Jun: "Jun has been here?" โ€

"Yes! The first time I came to Olarie, I passed by here, and that was the night I almost played myself to death. If it weren't for the luck, if you ran into Ace and them......"

Speaking of this, Wei Jun shook his head with a wry smile, and a shadow of blonde hair couldn't help but appear in his mind.

"Da!"

"Wow!!!"

Wei Jun covered the forehead of Xi'er who had been flicked by Xi'er, looked at Xi'er in front of him suspiciously and helplessly, and asked, "What are you doing here?" โ€

"Joon, don't you think it's rude to be dating a cute girl while thinking about another girl?"

The dating in Xi'er's mouth is not a Chinese-style couple dating, and the meaning of dating in this world is not so complicated.

As long as it's going out with a girl who has a good relationship, or going out to eat or something, it can be called a date.

"Huh?! I didn't ...... Well, I got it. โ€

Wei Jun wanted to deny it, but when he thought that the beautiful girl in front of him was a demon who could easily guess what the other party was thinking through other people's eyes, Wei Jun gave up his defense.

Don't look at Xi'er as a lively and cute beautiful girl on the surface, but if you want to lie in front of Xi'er, it is no less difficult than lying in front of the gods.

Wei Jun and the girls in the tavern knew this very well.

Xi'er usually likes to observe others, and over time, Xi'er can read what the other person is thinking from other people's eyes.

Let's take a simple example.

When everyone is playing cards with Xi'er, no matter how they disguise and disguise it, Xi'er can always guess the hole cards in their hands through their eyes at the first time.

Unless Hill takes the initiative to waterproof, no one can beat Hill.

For this reason, the girls also labeled the shrewd girl a 'witch'.

The main reason is that Xi'er's girl is too shrewd, plus her 'magic eyes' that seem to be able to see through the soul.

Although there are more jokes in it, Ci'er's horror can be seen.

*

Seeing Wei Jun's bitter appearance, Xi'er chuckled lightly and didn't embarrass Wei Jun anymore.

He glanced at the food stall not far away with a smile, and then turned his head to look at Wei Jun with a smile, and the meaning that Xi'er wanted to express was self-evident.

Raising his hands with a wry smile and making a gesture of surrender, Wei Jun went to the stall pointed out by Xi'er to buy back two crepes, and handed one of them to Xi'er as a 'gift of atonement' just now.

Xi'er took the crepe handed by Wei Jun and took a small bite with a smile on her face.

The two of them ate the food in their hands and walked towards the huge tower in front of them.

Crossing the central plaza with Ciel, the two of them arrived at the gate of the Tower of Babel.

Although it is said to be a door, it is only a few trapezoidal entrances that surround the tower and pass through the wall of the tower on the first floor.

This entrance is like a design designed to allow adventurers, no matter how many people there are, no matter which direction they come from.

When you enter the main gate, you will see a hall with a white and light cyan color tone.

The entrance to the dungeon is underground.

It can be said that the first floor of the Tower of Babel is just a place like an entrance, and the main public facilities start from the second floor.

After following Xi'er to the third floor, Wei Jun leaned his upper body and looked at the corner of the outer wall of the gold exchange house that he had just mentioned.

Wei Jun looked around, trying to find the staircase that had suddenly been interrupted, but Xi'er grabbed Wei Jun's hand, which had been holding him, and walked towards the center of this floor without hesitation.

After a while, Xi'er led Wei Jun to a pedestal with several round shapes, and the two of them took one of them.

After entering the interior of this pedestal with Xi'er, Wei Jun could see the function of the thing under his feet at a glance.

"Is this ...... Lift? It's true!! Is it because I underestimated the wisdom of the people in this world too much before!! โ€

Leaning on the wall, which felt different from the transparency of glass, Wei Jun was shocked indescribably.

Exhaled, calmed down the surprise in his heart, and turned his head to look at Xi'er beside him and asked.

"Ciel, are we going to the Hephaestus family's shop?"

Hephaestus was the goddess of forging, and she was also a close friend of Hestia, who had lived in Hephaestus' house for hundreds of years when she was in the Netherworld.

As the god of forging, the members of the Hephaestus clan are naturally blacksmiths.

In all of Olaria, the Hephaestus family also belongs to the top group.

Although the members of the Hephaestus clan are all blacksmiths, the forging faction has an unshakable position in this world.

"That's right!"

Xi'er nodded to Wei Jun with a smile while operating the operating device on the wall.

After Xi'er's operation, the pedestal left the ground and floated.

As Wei Jun expected, the function of this pedestal is exactly the same as that of the elevator, and the two of them slowly rose vertically under the drive of the pedestal.

In a matter of seconds, the two reached the fourth floor of the Tower of Babel.

"Although the store I fancy is still on the upper floor, it is rare to come out once, so let's take a look around first."

Just a cursory glance, there are shops selling weapons and armor everywhere. Wei Jun looked around curiously and nodded to Xi'er, who asked him.

Seeing the unified [ะยทฮฑฮนฯ„ฮฟS] sign on the plaques of the surrounding shops, Wei Jun turned his head to Xi'er in surprise and asked.

"Could it be that these signs belong to the business of the Hephaestus family on this floor?"

"Well, that's not all, from the fourth floor to the eighth floor, all of them were rented by [Hephaestus]."

"Hiss!!!"

Wei Jun knew that Hephaestus was a big tyrant, but now it seems that he still underestimated the financial resources of the other party's family.

Walking and stopping with Cier, the two of them just walked around briefly, and then walked into the fourth floor, a golden-decorated shop.

This is the largest and most famous shop on the fourth floor.

As soon as Wei Jun walked into the store, he began to constantly look at the equipment on the display shelves in the store.

Soon, Wei Jun's gaze was placed in the center of the store, and the red sword, which was the treasure of the store, attracted him.

"One, two, three...... Seven, eight!!! it, 30 million Wallis! Grab the money, this is !!! โ€

Swallowing his saliva, Wei Jun retracted his gaze.

I can't afford it, and I can't afford it!

Thirty million Wallis, that's three thousand gold coins.

So many gold coins are taken to the earth to exchange for money, how many soft girl coins do they have to be!!!

Although Wei Jun already had more than 60 million Wallis on hand, a sword cost him half the value, which was all his hard-earned money.

After just a few simple glances, Wei Jun pulled Xi'er out of the store.

He didn't dare to stay in this store anymore, and Wei Jun felt that he would collapse if he looked at it any longer.

The equipment in this store is not about money, but about life!

Looking at Wei Jun with a bitter face beside him, Xi'er stretched out her hands playfully, held Wei Jun's cheeks, patted them lightly, and comforted.

"Cheer up, Joon! We just take a look at it, and we don't really want to buy that kind of expensive equipment. โ€

"Well! I think too, with my strength, if I enter the dungeon with such high-end equipment, wouldn't I dig my own grave! โ€

"It's good that you understand, you know that the danger in the dungeon doesn't just come from the monsters in the dungeon. There are also unscrupulous adventurers, who are not much less dangerous than the monsters in the dungeons. โ€

Xi'er completely ignored the disgruntled gazes of the adventurers around her, and seriously admonished Wei Jun.

"Don't worry, Xi'er, I'll take it to heart."

Wei Jun is not the kind of innocent teenager who is careless, and he naturally understands this kind of simple truth.

"In that case, I'll be relieved, so let's go to the next one."

Smiling sweetly at Wei Jun, Xi'er pulled Wei Jun to the next store.
