Chapter 6: Superfortress
Utistan is most famous for its superfortress, which is also the best preserved ancient building in Utistan, legend has it that the superfortress has gone through 3 rune wars, and after each rune war, the entire Utistan will basically be in ruins, but the superfortress will not fall because of this. For the people of Uttistan, the superfortress is their symbol and the sustenance of their spirit. The buildings of Utistan are not high, generally between 2 and 2 floors, but the Super Fortress has more than 20 floors, which has a feeling of standing out from the crowd. The Superfortress is a haven and a place of trial for the warriors of Uttistan, a sacred place.
Galen came to Utistan to look for a place where he could improve his abilities, and he knew about the existence of the Super Fortress, but the more he knew about the Super Fortress, the more he didn't know too much, but he heard that after most people entered, they were teleported out not long after, and there was no memory of the aftermath of entering. But there are a few people who succeed and get great powers, but these people don't say a word about what happened inside. In this way, the superfortress is covered in mystery, which deepens the respect of the people of Utistan for it, and there are always many people who want to try their luck and try their luck, and most of them end in tragedy.
Galen also has the attitude of giving it a try, wanting to break into the superfortress to see if he is one of the geniuses in ten thousand. But there was not much expectation either, so Galen got up early, left the Reims guild, and headed for the center of the city-state. When Galen walked in front of the superfortress, he found that there were no buildings around the superfortress, it was very empty, and the people who came here to try their luck were basically not locals, they were all outsiders, and Galen didn't know where they came from.
Soon, Galen's attention shifted to the Superfortress, which was different from looking at it from a distance, and there was an indescribable sense of grandeur when looking at it up close, and he suddenly felt a lot smaller. The quaint stone superfortress has some weird but smooth lines carved on the stone bricks, which has a different style of beauty. Galen looked at the superfortress seriously, his mind didn't know when it was pulled in, he didn't come back to his senses after watching it for a long time, and when Galen came to his senses, he didn't know how long it had been. Galen still can't find the weirdness of this castle, he is a real big fool, but it also deepens Galen's determination to enter the superfortress.
Galen didn't know how to get into the superfortress, so he had to leave in a huff. Galen found a small bar not far away, and as soon as Galen entered the bar, he was greeted by the smell of inferior ale, and Galen was still a little uncomfortable at first, but it didn't take long to get used to it. Galen looked at the panoramic view of the bar, there were not too many people in it, it was not messy, the sound was not unacceptable, except for the bad taste, everything was still okay. Galen found an empty seat in front of the bar and sat down. Then he ordered a large glass of ale, but it didn't taste very good, and Galen took a small sip and stopped drinking it. I started talking to the waiter standing at the bar. Galen said, "I heard that the superfortress is the spiritual sustenance of Utistan, do you know what special things happened to that superfortress?"
Because there were not many people in the bar, the little waiter was very leisurely, so he drank Galen and said: "The super fortress is a sacred place, listening to the older generation, the super fortress sometimes thunders and lightning, and the entire super fortress is shrouded in thunder and lightning, but it does not rain, that is, the super fortress itself will produce thunder and lightning, but it will not harm the people and buildings around it, and everyone says that this is the guardian spirit showing his ability." ”
Galen listened carefully to what the waiter said, and then said, "I heard that there are many people who can enter the Superfortress, how did they get in?"
The little waiter said: "Actually, it's very simple, you just need to enter the door on the first floor of the Super Fortress, and then find a cushion to sit on, if you can, you should enter an illusory space, what will happen later, I don't know, but most people are unresponsive, and they are teleported out." ”
Galen still wanted to try it, so he said to the waiter: "I want to try it, whether it works out or not, your tip for this." With that, Galen took two silver coins out of his pocket and gave them to the waiter before leaving the bar. The following came the phrase: "I hope you can succeed." "It's the waiter, Galen thought to himself, I hope something happens.
Galen came to the superfortress again, looked at the huge stone gate, walked to the stone gate, pushed hard, and with a roaring sound, the stone gate slowly opened. When it opened to a width large enough for Galen to pass through, Galen stepped inside, and the stone door behind him slowly closed. The inside of the castle was not dark, and a few magic lamps emitted a soft light. Galen looked around the hall and there were many strange lines, and there was a seat at the point where the lines converged, made of stone, very smooth.
Galen thought that this must be the cushion that the waiter said, so he sat down and waited for a miracle to happen. In this way, Galen sat for a long time, but there was no response, and after an hour of waiting, Galen finally couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to leave, Galen left the cushion and stood up. Then he walked in the direction of the door, but there was no way to open the stone door from the inside. Galen didn't know what to do, so he waited for the castle to teleport him out, so he sat patiently on the cushion and waited.
It's just that Galen didn't know that there was already lightning and thunder outside the superfortress, and the entire fortress was shrouded in lightning, and all the Utistan people bowed down to the superfortress, and some people from other places also looked at the superfortress cautiously, and the superfortress would be like this every once in a while, but this hadn't happened for a long time.
After a long time, the environment inside the fortress was always the same, the magic lamp was still emitting a soft light, and Galen didn't know what time it was, so he had to sit and wait for the time to pass. Slowly, Galen couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep.
Galen woke up and found himself lying on a desert, Galen knew that he might have succeeded, and after carefully looking at the situation around the desert, there was nothing special. Just as Galen thought there was no danger, the sand beneath the ground began to move slowly, as if something was about to rise from below. Then with a bang, three monsters made of sand flew out from under the sand, and a voice came from somewhere: "This is a low-level sand corpse, if you are defeated by a sand corpse, I will banish you forever, enjoy this journey, it will be more exciting in the future." The voice was infectious, like the words of a wise man, Galen thought.
When Galen came to his senses, the sand corpse had already come to Galen, one of them had already been cut off with the sand knife in his hand, Galen quickly turned sideways, and the sand knife was cut down against his clothes. Galen's clothes were adventure suits, which were very tough, but when the sand knife slashed on them, they cracked all at once, revealing Galen's pale yellow skin. Galen knew it wasn't a joke and began to take it seriously.
After a short period of thought, another sand corpse swung his knife again, Galen turned sideways again, and then rolled backwards, and flew out a few meters away at once, and now Galen knelt on one knee, lowered his head and slowly lifted up, stretched his hand back, and grabbed the handle of the Storm Sword at once. Galen let out a loud shout, and the strip of cloth wrapped around the Storm Sword broke in response, and Galen slowly stood up, and the Storm Sword was brought up from behind him, ready for battle.
The sand corpse will not be scared away because Galen looks handsome when he takes out his weapon, and decisively slashes towards Galen, Galen holds the storm sword with both hands and looks at the running sand corpse, the sand knife of the first sand corpse is cut down, Galen lifts the storm sword and sand knife against each other, the moment the knife is opposed, Galen feels a huge rebound force, and his foot takes a step back, while the sand corpse flies out, flies out a few meters, and then stands up again, unharmed. Galen knew that if he didn't hit the key places, the sand corpse would always have the ability to fight.
The second sand corpse quickly arrived in front of Galen and slashed down towards Galen, Galen didn't cut against it, it didn't make sense, Galen dodged its slash sideways. Although Galen's body movement is not very good, the sand corpses are even more inflexible, and their attacks are easy to dodge, and if they can't dodge, they will stab them. In this way, the three sand corpses chased Galen, Galen kept dodging, and no one could help anyone. Galen was looking for this opportunity, and finally Galen found a good opportunity, there was a sand corpse that was cut down too much, and it took more time to retract the knife, Galen rolled over on his side, came to the front of this sand corpse, raised the storm sword with both hands, and shouted, as soon as he slashed down, the sand corpse monster was split in half from head to toe, and then was blown away by the wind. Galen killed the first sand corpse, and in a moment's effort, the two sand corpses quickly slashed towards Galen, and Galen flashed and distanced himself from them.
The two sand corpses were much easier to deal with, Galen and the two sand corpses saw each other, and then one of the sand corpses showed a flaw, Galen seized the opportunity and killed the second one. The third one doesn't have to think too much, it just cuts it randomly, and directly breaks up the last one alive. When Galen had killed the three monsters, another voice rang out, "You surprised me, I thought you would use your brute force to tear them apart alive, in that case, it's time to test your endurance, and experience the wave of Sonora sandworms." ”
After the sound dissipated, the desert began to slowly shake, and the sound of the shaking became louder and louder, and it felt like an earthquake. Then Galen saw the most terrible thing he had seen in his life, countless insects, like a wave, surging towards him, Galen wanted to scold his mother at this time, this is the worm each has six eyes the size of a fist, side by side, and they all have irregular and very sharp teeth. Although Galen does not have a dense phobia, seeing such a situation, he also has a chill, which is really terrifying.
Galen couldn't think too much, so he could only hold the Storm Sword to face it, and when the insects came to Galen's feet, Galen slashed to death with his sword, picked them off, and kicked them with his feet. can only use brute force, without any skills, so many bugs, Galen can't prevent all the bugs, there are still some that get to Galen's feet and bite Galen's pants. After a while, Galen's pants were completely fragments, revealing his calves, and then it was time to test Galen's patience, and every now and then Galen would be bitten by sandworms, and soon Galen's feet would become bloody feet. Galen is still frantically killing sandworms, killing mechanically, there is no way to cut, kick, and his body is starting to get tired, when it will end, Galen doesn't know
