Chapter 905: Adventurers

For Duanmu Huai, coming to this city is indeed a novel experience.

Especially the adventurers here.

In fact, when Duanmu Huai played many RPG games before, he had seen such an opening——— the demon king threatened this world, and the legendary brave man was about to awaken, destroy the demon king and so on.

Of course, this kind of background can be said to be rotten streets.

However, there is a question, that is——— before the legendary brave man awakens, will anyone deal with the demon king?

Well, actually, there is.

And it lasted for a thousand years.

For the people of this world, the brave is not a bloodline, nor is it a designated destiny, or rather, it is not the brave who defeats the demon king, but because he defeats the demon king, he is called a brave man.

Therefore, since the appearance of the demon race a thousand years ago and began to attack humans, there have always been people who have gone to the Demon King City in the north to try to destroy the demon king. Some of them fell in the middle of the road, and some fell in front of the demon king. But even so, they still didn't give up, for them, defeating the Demon King is a realistic task,

And for the people of this world, after so many years of war with the Demon King Army, it can even be said that this has become a part of their lives.

It's like the city.

Duanmu Huai also talked to the adventurers here, every year, many adventurer teams cross the border and come here as fast as possible——— Duanmu Huai left the Northland Fortress and came here in less than five days, but that's because he can fly. For the average adventurer, it would take nearly two months just to walk through the Northlands, walk past the fortress, and get here.

And that's all going well.

If all else doesn't go well, then most of them could die before they get here.

After arriving here, the adventurers were divided into two types.

One is that because he encountered too many dangers on the way, he has no combat effectiveness, so he has to stay here. The others will wait here for the second snow season after ten months, and then kill the Demon King City in one go. Of course, most of this group of people will not come back.

Unless you're unlucky and break your leg the day after you leave the city.........

Just like this one.

"Until now, I'm sorry."

The old man sitting in the chair took a puff of his cigarette and said lightly to Duanmu Huai and Ao Ji Si and the others in front of him.

"At that time, if I hadn't been so impulsive, I wouldn't have been stupid enough to step on the ice sheet and slide straight out and then crash into the stone pillar below and break my leg......... In this way, I will be able to continue my adventure with my companions, and maybe I will be able to defeat the Demon King. Unfortunately, they didn't make it back, leaving me alone. ”

As he spoke, the old man stood up, walked to the counter, and gestured to Duanmu Huai.

"Alright, boy, you've heard enough stories, why don't you get some work? Those who don't work are not allowed to eat, this is the rule of the city. Speaking of which, it's rare to see an adventurer as young as you........."

"I've seen a lot of kids in the city."

"Those are the descendants of adventurers like me who stayed in the city for various reasons."

The old man pursed his lips.

"There's no way to kill the Demon King, and I don't want to go back to my hometown in disgrace, so I stay here and serve other adventurers. This is how these children appeared, and when they grow up, they will either join these adventurers and go on a crusade against the demon king, or they will inherit their parents' work and serve the adventurers. ”

"Will these imps be useful?"

"Hahaha, don't look down on people, boy. It's true that these little imps are not very old, but they were born in the snowy fields of the Northland, and they have grown up with things like ogres since they were children, and they are no less experienced in adventure than those veterans. Especially for some adventurer teams that have lost manpower, if there is a magician or priest to join, then it can be very good to improve the combat effectiveness. ”

As he spoke, the old man narrowed his eyes and looked at Duanmu Huai and the others.

"Who among you is a magician? Is this little girl? ”

"Among us......... Strictly speaking, there are no magicians at the moment. ”

Duanmu Huai spread his hands helplessly, unable to use soul cards, of course he was not a magician. As for Ogis and Cinnaire, they naturally don't use magic.........

"Then you should find a magician or a priest, don't blame me for nagging, it's still very necessary to go out. Especially the priest, if you have a headache and brain fever on the road, get sick and poisoned, or get injured, the priest can still help you detoxify, right? Although your iron shell does look like that, you should be careful in everything. ”

"I'll think about it."

Duanmu Huai replied casually while turning his head to look at the wall next to him. The walls are covered with work that needs to be commissioned, and it is basically divided into three categories.

One is to go underground mining, after all, adventurers need weapons, weapons and armor also need to be repaired, fortunately this was a dwarven city in the past, and there are also mines nearby, this kind of work belongs to anyone who can do it, but it takes a little effort.

The other type is mainly responsible for sweeping the underground monsters——— of course, there are monsters underground, and some of them are very powerful, but in the same way, powerful monsters can also bring valuable loot. Although there was no trade in this almost isolated city, it was possible to turn the spoils of war into weapons or certain items.

The last category is to explore the dungeon.

According to the nagging old man, this city is really just the tip of the dwarven sprawling underground city, and adventurers have always wanted to go deeper into the city, on the one hand, in the hope of expanding the station, and on the other hand, in the hope of obtaining some legendary magic or treasures from this vast underground labyrinth.

After all, according to legend, the history of this dungeon dates back to the creation of the goddess, and there must be many treasures in it.

For adventurers, this is part of their lives.

After all, if you can really get a powerful treasure, then you will be more sure to defeat the Demon King, right?

To Duanmu Huai, the life of adventurers in this world is very similar to that of players——— everything is to defeat the final boss, so they will go around rummaging through boxes and cabinets, sliding doors and picking locks, and going to the legendary dungeon to adventure or something.........

Pretty good.

For Duanmu Huai, staying here is far more comfortable than staying in the royal city of Paretiya, and there are not so many things to do.

"Speaking of which, what's that one above?"

Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and pointed to a commission at the top of the wall, which was carved out of a stone slab with the words "15% progress" scrawled on it.

How does it look like a notice hanging on the blackboard before the college entrance examination, there are XX days before the college entrance examination.

"Oh, that's the progress of the investigation of the Great Labyrinth."

The old man looked up and glanced at the topmost commission.

"The Great Labyrinth?"

"That's right, do you know why the dwarves in this city were wiped out by demons? It was because they expanded the city to the foot of the Demon King City that they were discovered by the Demon King and suffered a disaster. After that, the remaining dwarves used various methods to completely seal the road and make it into an incomparably huge labyrinth to prevent the demons from invading again. I have to say that the technology of the gods is really powerful, even we can't crack it........."

"So, you mean, as long as you break through this labyrinth, you can reach the Demon King City?"

"Theoretically, it's just a legend, but of course, it's best if you can do it. But I have to tell you, the big labyrinth is not easy to walk, although there have always been adventurers to hone themselves or explore treasures to enter it, but the monsters and traps inside are not a joke, many adventurers will also die in it, it is not a safe place. ”

"Well, where is the place?"

Duanmu Huai made a decisive decision.

"Are you sure? All right......... Just keep walking along the main road and you will come across a building that looks like a temple, and that is the entrance. ”

As he spoke, the old man took out a badge and ticked it off.

"Alright, give this to the guards guarding the door, and they'll let you in, but you'd better prepare your supplies first to avoid ......... accidents."

"Thank you."

Duanmu Huai reached out and took the badge, nodded at the old man, and then left with Ogis and Zhen Jiling.

"Hey......... I haven't finished yet, really, the kid is really impatient now........."

Leaving behind was only the old man's dissatisfied muttering.

"Big brother, are we going to the labyrinth?"

Walking down the street, the real machine asked curiously.

"Go and take a look, it's idle anyway, if you can really reach the Demon King City directly, it will save your effort. I'm too lazy to fly around in a blizzard, am I? ”

Duanmu Huai yawned, and then looked at Zhen Jiling.

"Anyway, would I like to buy you a weapon or something? You're running out of ammo. ”

When the real machine used a lot of ammunition to deal with that demon before, now there are only a few sniper rifles left, and Cain only has one round left——— most likely planning to wait until he sees the demon king to get a nuclear bomb in his face.

"Ah, don't worry about that, big brother."

As she spoke, she clenched her fists and swung a few punches.

"Karen can still fight in close quarters, even if there is no weapon, there is no problem!"

"That being said, it's better to prepare a little, I heard that there are still weapons left by those dwarves in the labyrinth treasure chest here, and I hope to find a few useful ones."

The entrance to the Great Labyrinth was not too far, as the old man had said, and it was not long before you reached the end of the road, where there was a huge stone building built against the mountain wall. Looks like a dwarf of incomparably tall stature, and the stone statues of the dwarven guards stand on either side of the gate, like guards guarding the passage.

And in the square in front of the main hall, you can see a lot of adventurers, some of whom gather in twos and threes, not knowing what they are communicating.

"They are?"

"Probably an adventurer who formed a temporary team."

Duanmu Huai also heard from the old man that there were many adventurer teams that were already short of major generals when they came here, and of course, it was impossible to advance in this situation. So they will come here to find companions, such as a mage who has lost a companion and can join a team that has lost a mage, or a team without a priest who needs a priest like this......... Of course, in addition, the old man also specially reminded Duanmu Huai that here, in addition to those adventurers who have experienced a hundred battles, there are also those little ghosts born in this city, who will also be eager to join the adventure team when they grow up and go to the Demon King City to defeat the Demon King together.

"Please, do you need a priest?"

At this moment, I saw a girl with blond hair and wearing a priest's robe timidly walked over, looking at Duanmu Huai uneasily and asked. The sacrificial robes on her body looked very shabby, but they were cleanly washed. The blonde girl held a tin staff in her hand and looked quite nervous.

"I am a priest of a goddess, and I can help you if you need ........."

"No need."

However, before the girl's words were finished, she was interrupted by Duanmu Huai waving her hand, and the other party looked like a novice, Duanmu Huai was going to do a speedrun, and it was not a novice copy, the girl in front of her was not very old, and she looked trembling, like the new player who Duanmu Huai met at the door of the game copy "Ask the big guy to bring".

Therefore, Duanmu acacia will naturally not be brought.

"Ah, sorry..............."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's refusal, the blonde girl turned away in frustration, while Duanmu Huai glanced around.

"Let's get inside."

Otherwise, if you stay for a long time, maybe Meng Xinquan will come to hug her thighs, which will also be troublesome.
