Chapter 190: Back to the Fortress

Following the signs he had left behind, Leon scurried through the secret forest.

After breaking through the third-level mad soul warrior, his body was full of strength to the extreme, and based on the experience gained from the inheritance soul core, Leon knew that he had to vent it so as not to hurt his body.

The soul power, which was several times stronger than before, continuously stimulated the power of thunder and lightning through the elemental brand, making Leon's movements lighter and faster, and he leaped through the dense woods, and the towering trees and ubiquitous vines could not pose any obstacle to him in the slightest.

Faster and stronger!

In the galloping running, Leon deeply experienced the pleasure of strength improvement, a large amount of thunder and lightning power stimulated the muscles no longer have a feeling of soreness and numbness, and there was no fatigue at all in the continuous high-speed galloping, it can be said that the third-level samurai is all-round for the second-level samurai.

What's more, after reaching the third level of the Soul Warrior, Lei Ang was able to learn and use more than double the number of soul skills, especially in terms of attack.

It is no exaggeration to say that if he encounters that five-person adventure team again at this moment, he will have a high chance of winning without sneak attacks or sharp weapons, and he will have a high chance of winning in a head-to-head duel.

Before nightfall, Leon made his way back to the Savage Fortress.

The secret forest at night is extremely dangerous, many nocturnal monsters and underground monsters will come out one after another, even in the edge of the forest around the fortress, so at night the fortress will close the city gate and enter a state of alert.

Only experienced and strong people dare to enter the depths of the secret forest for days or even weeks, and the vast majority of low-level adventurers usually set out early in the morning and return to the fortress at dusk.

And those adventurers who don't make it back in time will most likely disappear into the forest without a sound.

When the last rays of the setting sun disappeared from the top of the fortress's Supreme Tower, the metal gate weighing more than 100,000 pounds slowly fell, falling heavily on the ground, stirring up countless dust, as if separating two different worlds.

More than a dozen adventurers who entered the fortress at the end, including Leon, breathed a sigh of relief, according to the rules of the fortress, once the city gate is closed, it will never be opened again until tomorrow morning, unless there is a particularly serious situation.

Three gray-robed priests with expressionless faces stood in the inner city gate, holding a staff in one hand and casting spells in the other, blessing each adventurer who entered the city with silver aura spells.

Behind them, a row of more than a dozen heavily armed garrison warriors stood by, their hands pressed to the hilts of their swords with grim expressions, making it clear that if something happened, these fierce warriors would definitely draw their swords without hesitation.

In the depths of the Sanctuary Secret Realm, there are some powerful devils with high intelligence, some of whom can occupy the body of adventurers with the help of special means, so as to blend into the fortress and make waves.

In the early stage of the adventurer's development, he suffered a lot from this kind of transformation monster, and later it was the mages and priests who developed the prevention method of evil detection spells to avoid greater losses.

Although Leon is a newcomer to the Sanctuary, he is not surprised that he has a lot of knowledge of the basic rules of the Savage Fortress thanks to the old lion Gucci's admonition.

He successfully passed the evil detection and soon made his way to the Night Charm Bar.

Perhaps because of its location near the city gates, the night charm bar does a good job after dark, with bright orange lights streaming through the open windows, and the laughter and cheerful music of the drinkers wafting deep into the long streets.

This situation and this scene made Leon, who had encountered a day of thrilling danger in the secret forest, feel warm, and couldn't help but speed up his pace.

When Leon pushed open the door and entered the bar, it was already full of adventurers, and there was no place next to the bar.

Just as he was hesitating to leave to find another restaurant, several adventurers from a team of people left at the same time at the bar, and Leon happened to go up and take a spot.

"Ray, I'm glad to see you!"

Larsen, the bartender busy behind the bar, grinned, showing a mouthful of white teeth.

He poured a glass of fruit wine and put it in front of Leon: "I invite you to this cup, it can be regarded as a celebration of your life here for one more day!"

"Then you're welcome!" Leon smiled, took a sip of fruit wine and drank it dry: "I try to drink with you every day!"

Bartender Larsen's words may not sound very pleasant, but according to the old lion Gucci, very few low-level adventurers who walk alone in the secret forest can persevere, either dying in the forest or joining a certain team.

"Looks like you've made a good gain..."Larsen looked at the animal skin bag that Leon had placed beside him, and reminded, "You can go to the adventurer's shop opposite and sell the materials, and it is safest to store the valuable ones in the secret vault of the mercenary guild." ”

"Remember not to trade privately with others, it's easy to have problems, and it doesn't matter if you fall for the garrison!"

The Savage Fortress is the most important foundation of the Beamon Kingdom in the Sacred Realm, it is different from ordinary continental fortresses, it is not the other three clans on the continent that it defends, but the terrifying beast tide that erupts every year in the Secret Realm.

The garrison stationed in the fortress is arguably the most elite legion of the kingdom, and the composition of the samurai and shamans makes it a formidable force, and the garrison is tasked with guarding the fortress and providing protection for adventurers who come to the Sanctuary, but they rarely intervene in disputes between adventurers except to ensure the safety of the fortress.

The vast majority of the adventurers who can come here have deep backgrounds, representing different forces and families, and it is impossible to sort out the contradictions and entanglements between them, so it is conceivable that the fortress garrison that maintains a completely neutral position can be imagined.

And it is precisely because of this that some adventurers who have been in the fortress all the year round will also do some things that are cheating and abducting, as long as no one cares about not using force, many novices have been fooled.

Larsen reminded Leon that half of it was for the sake of the old lion Gucci, and the other half was because Leon and he belonged to the same bear descent - there were not many lower clans who could enter the secret realm of the Sanctuary, and it was even more rare for the same clan.

Of course, Leon could understand his kindness, raised the empty glass and shook it: "I understand, thank you for the reminder, I will be very careful!"

Larsen nodded, and added a glass of fruit wine to Leon, who was impressed by his modest attitude.

Working as a bartender in a bar, he has come into contact with countless adventurers, and he has reminded some newcomers who have just arrived, but most of them have gained disapproval and ridicule, because these adventurers are not weak on the mainland, and they are very arrogant and conceited.

Over time, Larsen didn't bother to say anything to concentrate on selling alcohol, and today is an extra exception.

"And if you go to the mercenary union, it's best to take a few simple tasks to do, the battle medals obtained in the fortress union can be exchanged for the use of teleportation array discounts, as long as there are enough battle medals, you can save a lot of money by returning to the Radiant Continent. ”

As soon as Larsen's chatterbox opened, he began to talk endlessly, and when it came to understanding the situation of the fortress, the old lion Gooch sighed to himself.

These experiences are undoubtedly very beneficial to Leon.

Although you can travel to and from the secret realm of the Holy Realm through the teleportation array, the cost of teleporting once is extremely high, and the situation may be different when you come, but if you want to return to the Radiant Continent through the teleportation array of the fortress, the price is exactly the same.

Send 70,000 gold coins at a time, not including the salute package!

It's a pretty big deal, but there's no other way for adventurers to get back.

Of course, the extra money earned by the garrison that controlled the teleportation array was also used for the maintenance of the regular expenses, and some materials had to be teleported from the Glorious Continent, which was very costly.

Therefore, many adventurers come to the secret realm of the Holy Land with all their fortunes, and if they are lucky, they will spend a few months to get their capital back, and even get rich overnight, but more ordinary or unlucky people may not have enough money to go back for a few years, and they have taken their lives in vain.

You must know that in addition to the cost of using the teleportation array, the clothing, food, housing and transportation in the fortress are usually a large expense.

"When I first came to the Sanctuary, I also fantasized about being able to find a lost ruin, obtain the treasure in it, and go home in style...", Larsen said with a sigh, "but watching his companions fall one by one, I was afraid that I would die in the forest one day, so I worked as a bartender here." ”

"When I have enough money to go back, I will go back one day, this place is not for everyone. ”

Listening to Larsen tell his story, Leon couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart, compared to here, the Glorious Continent is simply a paradise, at least the pressure to survive will not be so great.

After drinking seven or eight glasses of wine and eating a large plate of roasted monster meat, Leon said goodbye to Larsen and left the Night Charm Bar.

He wasn't going to stay in the Sanctuary for too long, and certainly couldn't waste his time on leisure and pleasure.

Following Larsen's advice, Leon first went to the Adventurer's Shop, diagonally across from the bar.

The Adventurer's Shop is actually a buying station dedicated to collecting the adventurer's loot, and it belongs to the fortress garrison, which is completely a monopoly, and there is no second competitor at all.

The adventurer's shop was a large area, guarded by four heavily armed garrison warriors, and seven or eight stereotype-looking appraisers were in charge of appraising bids, and only a few adventurers came here, leaving as soon as they finished selling their loot.

To hide his sights, Leon kept the goblin wizards in his bag, and he asked for them all to be valued by the shop's appraiser at once.

"Grade 2 magic core, medium quality, estimated at fifty gold coins..."

Listening to the appraiser's stereotypical voice, Leon was stunned for a moment.
