Chapter Seventy-One: Repression

Tiogne hit mercilessly, as an older sister, she knew very well that her sister's weapon had been completely scrapped in the last expedition, and it was not as simple as returning to the factory for repair like Ace, but directly rebuilding it.

It wasn't enough for Tiona to drain her savings before she came to the dungeon to earn Wallis, and if it weren't for the fact that the Gobun Clan wasn't afraid of the Loki Clan's debts, she might not even have a weapon now.

As they marched through the forest, a small river with a murmuring sound of flowing water appeared in front of the eyes of the moss-covered rice and trees.

"Now...... It seems to be noon. ”

Riveria put her hand in the shape of an umbrella and looked overhead, judging the time.

Chen Mo and Lily didn't have to eat yet, and the speed of the next action in the dungeon was very fast, coupled with the direct penetration of the hole in the ground, it was only an hour since they and the Loki family came to the eighteenth floor.

In the thin part of the roof of the forest, where the branches of the trees intertwined, above a large expanse of land exposed to the sun, countless crystals grew there without any gaps in the ceiling of the level.

In the center are several white crystal blocks that shine like the sun, and around it are a large group of green crystals that glow gently. The light emitted by the many crystals reminiscent of the jujue flower gives the 18th floor, which is located underground, a "sky". It's a mysterious view of the dungeon that has stolen the eyeballs of many adventurers.

The brightness of the crystal decreases with the passage of time, forming different time zones of "morning", "noon" and "night", and the changes in the time zone are not stable, and there are slight differences from the ground, and the time difference will change from time to time.

Of course, Chen Mo, a rookie adventurer, can't see these things, and only an adventurer like Rivilia, who has decades of wealth and richness, can tell them.

With their goal already established, the group walked from the forest to the south of the level, the road to the west of the level, which existed in the dungeon.

"Ah, I don't think it's been a long time since I've been to this street."

Tiona looked ahead as if she had cut off a corner of the continent and placed it there, and the street was located at the top of a tall, towering island.

"Don't stand there stupidly, can you get in? I want to take a break. ”

At Theogne's call, Ace and the others followed into the street.

Walking through the archway, Ace and the others saw tents, wooden huts, or shops that resembled stalls. The shops that are designed to coincide with the slope of the cliff are easy to rebuild and have low costs, and few of them can be called buildings.

The structure of the street is simple and reminiscent of a village, but it is illuminated by the pillars of white and blue crystal growing next to it. Coupled with the fact that no matter where you stand, you can enjoy the view of the nearby navy blue lake and the entire floor, and the street itself is very beautiful.

Passing by a sake brewery that makes use of a natural cave, Refia opened her mouth as if she were confirming her future itinerary.

"After selling the Gems and drops at the Acquisition......

"What about the accommodation? Are you still camping out on the other side of the forest as usual? ”

"Well, I'll stay at a hotel in the middle of the street this time. After all, we didn't bring camping props with us. ”

"But, the regimental commander...... It costs a lot of money to stay for a week, right? This is the street of Livia......"

In addition to weapon shops and item shops, there are also places on the streets where you can exchange magic stones and other items for money. Needless to say, the prices of these shops in the street, which are limited to adventurers, are very high.

Of course, hostels are no exception.

"Theogne is stingy. Wouldn't it be nice to stay once in a while? ”

"Don't be stingy!! It's you who are too coarse! ”

Listening to the argument between Tiona and Theogne, Finn, who couldn't help but smile, made a suggestion.

"No problem, I'll pay for it all this time. And Ace seems to have to save money. ”

“…… Sorry, Finn. The blonde girl said embarrassedly.

Due to the high cost of lodging, the Loki clan would pass directly through the streets of Livia on every expedition with a large army, but today they decided to stay at the hotel here because of the generosity of the captain.

To Ace, who felt very embarrassed, Finn smiled and said, "I have the opportunity to use money at this time, so it's okay." ”

Chen Mo did not participate in the dialogue of the Loki family, after all, everyone is not very familiar with each other, and now there is a lack of an opportunity to break into the other party's interior.

And the only familiar Refia, as a weak girl, a character who blushes when she says a few words, can't be used as a bridge of communication at all, so Chen Mo and the Loki family only have a polite exchange.

As for Lily, after seeing the Loki family, she has been on guard against each other, and the reason for the vigilance you know is that she is worried that someone's lower, half, and body can't control it.

"Guys, there's something wrong with the atmosphere here!"

Chen Mo, who was originally planning to be separated from Loki temporarily, suddenly found that the atmosphere on Livia's direct entrance was a little depressing, and there was no more relaxation than before.

"The atmosphere on the street is a little weird."

Riveria, who had been silent all along, spoke as she patrolled the beautiful streets of white and blue crystal.

"It seems that the number of people is indeed smaller than before......

Hearing the words of Rivilia and Chen Mo, Refia also began to observe the surroundings and judge.

The number of adventurers who passed by Chen Mo and them could be counted with just one hand, and they didn't care if they didn't see many people at the entrance, but now that they arrived in the square near the middle of the street, the flow of people was still so sparse, it made them feel strange how to say it.

It's a safe place where no monsters spawn, and it's the only street that exists in the underground labyrinth, and because of these two things, many adventurers below the 19th floor of the rope have a base in Rivera.

The existence of high-priced hobbies such as alcohol, and the purchase of loot without returning to the surface are very important places for people who have been stuck in the dungeon for a long time.

Although it is not always thriving, the street of passers-by and the dungeon with its constant chatter is now quiet and deserted.

In a cliffside square surrounded by a railing made of rusty swords and gun hilts, Ace stared at Diona, Theogne, and Refia.

"Uh...... What to do? ”

"Let's find a shop to go in first. Get in touch with people on the street and gather some information along the way. ”

Finn answered Theona's question. Led by him with a long wooden warehouse, Ace and the others left the square.
