Chapter Ninety-Nine: Kudar's Laboratory (I)
Kudar's laboratory is located at the top of the Maroon Mountains.
Conou and Eder make their way to the Intercity Gate, intending to teleport to Myron, the city closest to the Malone Mountains.
Kudar began research to resurrect his wife, who had died of illness. Along the way, he found a way to create an artificial life. Isn't that a moving story?" said Ed, who stepped out of the magic circle.
Ed behaves like a young girl who only reads a rivet romance after reading a book about Kudar.
"That part is moving?"
Conou couldn't sympathize with him at all.
"Isn't Kudar's effort touching? he tried to overcome death and bring his wife back to life. ”
His voice increased.
"Not really. ”
Conou paused.
For him, Kudar's actions are no different from those of a mad scientist in a Class B horror movie.
"Kudar's story must be passed down and made known to the public. The story of a man's will, his love, and his efforts to overcome death!
Ed clenched his fists.
"Do it on your own time. Now, focus on your work. ”
Although Ed has been spying on Kudar, there is no need for Conou to stop him from doing so or criticize him.
"Hehe, I see. ”
Ed never crossed him again.
Conou and Eder crossed Myron City without any problems, but they noticed that there were several players there.
A seemingly low-level blacksmith player said, "A total of beginner armor sets were sold. A beginner's dagger was also sold. ”
"We are attending a party for hunting in the Kudal laboratory. There's only one place left!"
"Hunting in Monte Morero. Looking for DPS system and healer. I'm a tank. ”
"Sell all kinds of potions. I sell it a little cheaper than the store. ”
They even saw beginner alchemists selling their wares on a piece of cloth.
"Materials will be procured at the laboratory in Kudar. Alchemists are welcome. ”
"Why are there so many people here?"
Edel looked around curiously. Myron is not a big city, but there are a lot of people around.
The landscapes and populations of the provinces and cities he visited with Kang Ou were completely different.
"This is a sacred place for alchemists," Conou said.
Myron is not such a big city as Altain.
However, this is the birthplace of the alchemist Kudar and the main headquarters of the Alchemists' Guild.
Additionally, alchemists can purchase a variety of alchemical materials from Kudar's laboratory, so Myron can be considered a base for many alchemists.
"I see. ”
Conou and Eder walk through the city's east gate.
They blew the whistle of the horse's head and called the black horse and the white horse.
Conou rode the black one, while Eder rode the white one, and the two left along the road.
As they walked, they noticed several players on the road.
"They must all go to the Kuda lab. ”
After Kudar's death, the artificial life forms he created became monsters, and his laboratory became a dungeon.
By defeating artificial life forms, one can buy the materials needed for alchemy.
On top of that, the dungeon is huge. There are several buildings there, so it would be more accurate to call it a university than a laboratory.
"Really?"
After a period of traveling, Ed pointed out something.
Cono nodded.
Ed pointed to the Malone Mountains and Kudar's laboratory.
[Enter the dungeon, Kudar's laboratory.] ]
"It's huge. ”
Ed was in awe.
There are four buildings in front of them.
Buildings are different in shape and construction.
But, in general, they are all old. Most of the windows cracked, creating a dull atmosphere.
The land was overgrown with weeds and grass, and there were some bronze statues, whose hands and feet were not scattered.
There was also a small fountain there, but it was neither filled with fountains nor spewed water.
"I think there are eight buildings in total. ”
Conou recalled his information in Kudal's laboratory.
The level of artificial life forms varies from building to building.
At the low end, they are level 50. At the highest end, they are 180 levels.
Once a week, a level 200 boss monster spawns in one of the eight buildings.
It was Balakula, widely regarded as "Kuda's greatest creation".
Then why did Boss Wu suspect that there was a hidden dungeon here when Boss Wu suspected that the boss already existed?
Very simple.
"This is Kudar's lab, but ...... Kudar is nowhere to be found. ”
Some busy people on Earth Story point this out and assume that Kudar may be in some secret area.
Conou, of course, knew this and decided to browse Kudar's lab.
Afterward, Tino tells him about rumors that there is also a secret area inside Kuda's lab.
"It's enough for me to take a look. ”
However, Conor did decide to search the dungeon more carefully than usual.
It's a popular dungeon, so there are a few players here. This is also where players of influential guilds visit.
If he manages to find the hidden dungeon, but the information is leaked, then there is a chance that other players will try to block him.
"You didn't find any clues to the hidden dungeon in the books, did you?" Conou whispered to Ed.
Of course, there aren't any players nearby that need their attention, but there's nothing wrong with being careful.
"I didn't find anything. Mr. Conou, what about you?"
Ed followed suit, lowering his voice.
"I didn't find anything either. ”
"I think we just have to go there and find it. ”
"Let's start by looking at the building in front of us. ”
Conou and Eder walk towards the arched building.
For the convenience of the player, the buildings were numbered.
Building 1, Building 2, Building 3... All the way up to Building 8
The weakest monsters will spawn in Building 1, and the weakest monsters will spawn in Building 8.
Conou and Eder entered Building 3 first. Here, level 90 artificial life forms will appear.
He is currently level 129, while Eder has the body of Arummod, a level 150 boss monster.
In other words, the place will be relaxed.
"Well, I haven't been here to study, so I guess it's okay. ”
Conou and Edel avoid the player's hunt and go deeper into the building.
He searched every corner of the building.
Then, an artificial life form known as Nuland emerged.
Nuram is said to have been created by Kudar himself and is an artificial wolf. It's about level 90 and has steel teeth.
Five Newlands appeared.
Kureyu
Five wolves rushed at them.
"Come on, you idiot!"
Ed pounced on the wolf.
Be!
Universal developer.
His mace slammed into Nuland's head, sending its head flying into the wall with a roar.
The match between level 90 and level 150 is an obvious result.
Conou drew his sword and slashed at the approaching Nurams.
。
The blade of his knife sliced through the wolf's white fur and cut a piece of shard.
Be!
If it weren't for a serious blow, the larger debris would have spilled, but it certainly took a lot of damage.
Conou made a smooth transition to his next attack.
Darkness is coming!
Deep black waves erupted from his sword.
Be!
Ferocious destructive energy struck Nuram, far beyond its capacity.
[You defeated the artificial life form, Nuland.] ]
[Data has been stolen via "Dark Strike.] ]
[Physics +1]
Dark Strike's special ability, Status Steal activated.
Not only!
[You have completed the spontaneous mission "Dark Strike 1."]
[As a bonus, the proficiency of Dark Strike is greatly increased.] ]
[Dark Strike has risen to mid-level.] ]
He has finally completed the spontaneous quest he had obtained from Quinta's Ring a long time ago.
As a result, his dark blows have reached a medium level.
"Not bad. ”
Conou smiled and swung his sword at the other Nuram.
"Go away!" shouted Conou.
He obviously wanted to learn about the performance of the new and improved Dark Strike.
However, it is not activated.
His demonic sword only pierced Nuland.
be
The Nulands have fallen.
Con'ou chases after another Nuram and keeps wielding his sword.
He attacked 3 more times, however, Dark Strike didn't even activate once.
"Next!"
Conou quickly rushed towards another Nuram.
"Wow!"
A slash, a thrust, a downward blow and another slash!
He attacked five times in a row, but the Dark Strike was not activated.
In the end, Nuland died before she could see her newly improved skills.
Meanwhile, Ed is at war with Nuland, the last remaining man.
"Get out of my way!"
Cono pushed Edel away and swung his sword downward.
They say that if you desperately hope for something, then it could come true!
ah
Eventually, his demonic sword sent out deep black waves. Apparently a mid-level dark strike.
Intermediate Dark Strike is a darker black, and the shape of the beast is sharper than before. On top of that, the waves themselves are bigger.
Prosperity!
A mid-level dark strike strikes Nuland.
It could not withstand the impact and rolled to the floor. It didn't stand up again.
[You defeated the artificial life form, Nuland.] ]
"Even up to the intermediate level, it didn't steal any data. ”
If Dark Strike has previously stolen some stats from a monster, it seems that the chances of stealing stats from that monster are even lower.
The description of this skill is not specifically stated, but after using it for so long, it seems to be the same.
He steals more stats from the monsters he killed for the first time through Dark Strike.
"Well, stealing stats is strong enough that you can't really call it a weakness. After all, there are a lot of monsters that can be killed in Arth.
At that time, Ed brought him the items dropped by Nuland.
"Here. ”
He brought with him junk items such as steel teeth or man-made reagents, which were necessary materials for alchemy.
Cono took the items and put them in inventory.
"Now that I think about it, the Demon Sword will also be upgraded soon. ”
Looking at these junk items, he thought of the magic sword.
Demon Sword has a satiety of more than 98%. Soon it will be enhanced again.
"Let's move on. ”
"Good. ”
Conou and Eder walk around Building 3.
They encounter the Nuram all the time, but Con'ou and Ed will kill them as soon as they appear.
Of course, there are other monsters inside Building 3.
There is also an artificial life form called York.
It is an artificial fox, it has three tails, it can breathe fire, it was made by Kudar.
It's like turning into a nine-tailed fox and stopping.
Of course, York is not suitable for Conou and Eder either.
They died, leaving behind soft fox fur.
Conou and Eder searched Building 3 while continuing to kill Nurams and Yorkists.
However, his super-instincts never activated. There is no place that feels suspicious.
"Not here," Conou said.
"Isn't your super-intuition activated?"
Ever since Con'ou found the quicksand pit that led to the hidden oasis, Eder has believed that Conou possesses super-intuitive "skills".
"Yes. ”
"Then we move on to the next building. ”
"Yes, but first let me feed the demon sword garbage. ”
Cono walked to a secluded area where no one was playing and dropped all the junk items.
Darkness stretched out from his magic sword and began to consume the junk items.
[Ubist consumes a steel tooth.] Satisfaction increased by 0.17%. ]
[Ubist consumes a steel tooth.] Satisfaction increased by 0.17%. ]
[Ubist eats the soft fox fur.] Satisfaction increased by 0.17%. ]
...
[Obist's satisfaction has reached 100%.] ]
[The Demon Sword Becomes More Powerful!]
The Demon Sword spewed out deep black energy that spread in all directions like a winter tree-shaped branch.
Soon after...
The black energy was sucked back into his blade.
Cono examined the magic sword.
The Demon Sword, pitch black as night, has turned into a darker, more complex color. Similarly, it also features a jagged pattern.
"Evaluate the project. ”
[Demon Swordsman (Low Voltage 129/+2)]
The famous blade max was created by the famous craftsman Max.
It contains the spirit of The Demon King and The Reavers of the Abyss (Ubist).
Darkness lives within the leaves, and the jagged pattern represents the fangs of Ubis.
Share its levels with its wizards.
Not tradable.
Upon death, the Demon Sword is likely to fall, or the Demon Sword can be used to control the Welling and turn it into a monster for 24 hours.

Minimum: Clear the judgment of the demonic sword
"Good. ”
Con Ou read the item information carefully and smiled.
Unsurprisingly, the Demon Sword never let him down.
Square bearing blades!
It's an incredible ability that allows him to get a fatal blow even if he's not injured, not in danger of his life, or not weak. Not only that, but it even ignores the opponent's defense!!
I don't know how often it activates.
Kang Ao's body was numb, and he excitedly tested the new abilities of the demon sword as soon as possible.
