Section 34. Layer of ashes
The generous Annan gave one to his accomplices...... Silver coin.
The reason is that they need money at any time.
They didn't say anything, after all, Annan could have given nothing.
Annan asked Alice and the others to continue looting the mayor's estate. The rich students at Gwen College don't care, but Annan does.
The food scattered in the hall was still somewhat intact, but Annan wasn't sure if it would be edible. "Are you hungry?" Annan asked, everyone shaking their heads.
Even if they are hungry, they don't want to eat what they have here......
"Then let's go to the top."
Who knows if eating these will produce any tail or a second head.
"Are we really going to hunt other academies?" Amy asked, "Doing so will get Salz House in trouble......
"How big is the Taturn Empire?" Annan asked him.
"Multi-...... It's huge. If placed on the World Island, it will occupy one-fifth of the area. ”
"With such a big empire, the nearest academy is hundreds of miles away from us, and they are not that idle...... And as long as they win the championship, the dean and vice president will take care of everything. ”
Amy was still hesitating, and Annan had to tell him: "This is actually the arrangement of the vice president." ”
“…… Is that so? ”
Amy, who looked up in amazement, crashed into Annan's mysterious black eyes: "We will think of snatching the golden invitation, and so will those academies." Maybe we're already a step slower, and if we're just stupidly searching for golden invitations in the nest, the invitations from those that have plundered other houses will outnumber our ......"
"I ...... I understand. Amy was confident, "I'll help you get in the top ten!" ”
"No, it's us."
Alice came back after they looted. The good news is that a chest full of coins has been found, and the bad news is that the coins are mostly silver, with only a few gold coins, and a few smelted gold grains mixed in - they are supposed to be the main circulating currency of the nest.
Before the little rat-man girl woke up, Annan packed some food and sent it to the old witch doctor.
Annan thought that the old witch doctor knew something, and his demeanor told ancient secrets.
"This meteorite from the world of the dead brings a curse...... It's settling ...... We ...... inside it" The old witch doctor accepted Annan's gift and opened his mouth with dirty yellow teeth: "Before becoming it...... Leave ......"
"We're not going to be here for long." Annan replied.
The bottom nest is depressing, and the longer they stay, the more uncomfortable it becomes, and they only stay here for three hours and start to miss the sky.
But for the Dinest people who were born and raised here, a good life is more important than anything else.
The gray wolf said he wanted to stay, and looked at the mayor's manor in the distance. There left an indelible impression on him......
As a result, they are pounced on by wild dogs, and the two of them fight like beasts in the streets of Darklighttown. Wild Dog says he's stupid, the upper environment is better, and there are fewer curses. The gray wolf said that he was ignorant, and that if he couldn't survive in the upper echelons, he would fall, and that it was better to have a town.
After the fight, the gray wolf clumsily saluted Annan and them, and walked to the mayor's manor without looking back.
The strength of the nest is limited, at least there are no elites in Darklight - or it has been cleaned up by Gwen Academy. The Grey Wolves should be able to sit still for a long time, as long as they don't run into any more Gwen Academy-like players.
Theophilus satirizes the Gray Wolf as a short-sighted man who loses his only chance to return to the surface.
The wild dogs who want to go to the upper level are even more strenuous as a result.
"Where's the nearest path to the upper level?" Annan asked.
The wild dogs said that it was only half a day's journey, and that the ladder was controlled by the queen's stronghold, and that they had to search it before they wanted to go up.
"The queen ant?" Annan asked suddenly, and then a familiar gaze emerged.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Such a stronghold must have a golden invitation. I smell the golden invitation...... And the gold itself. ”
Alice looked away.
"Isn't the Dawn Floor searching anymore?" Theophilus asked.
"It's too big here."
It takes half a day to get from Darklight Town to the nearest upper passage...... There is only one day of nest racing.
"Are there any other gathering places on the way to the queen's stronghold?" Annan asked the wild dogs.
The wild dog shook his head: "But it's not far, the nobles just need to take a little detour......"
"Forget it."
It's better to squat in the queen stronghold and guard the other colleges.
"What about the little girl?" Alice lifted up.
"Go ahead and take her with you."
Annan picked up the little rat-man girl from Alice's back, she hadn't woken up yet, but her breathing was back to normal.
There were no mounts in Darklight Town, so they hurried directly with the Light Feather Technique, asking for information on the penultimate layer of the wild dogs on the way.
The third-to-last layer is the ash layer. It may sound like there is no dawn layer, but the environment is really bad...... The upper layer of it is the garbage incineration site of the imperial capital, and the burned ash settles into the ash layer, leaving it with snowflake ash all day long.
"Then why isn't it called a snowflake layer?"
No one answered him, and the wild dogs did not know the answer.
Two hours later, they approached a stronghold made of planks and stones, with many bones piled up in the corners, and a rudimentary circular staircase descending the rock pillar into the ash layer.
The queen's stronghold was silent, but they saw several corpses lying in the open doorway.
"We're late again." Theophilus shrugged.
Annan was noncommittal and entered the queen stronghold.
The corpses that had fallen here and there had long since cooled, the blood had coagulated, and there were no living people in the entire colony. And their injuries showed that it was not the Academy of Magic that attacked them.
And because those guys didn't have the pride of a mage at all, the stronghold was looted, and even the golden invitation was raided.
However, it also proved Annan's conjecture: the golden invitation and other colleges were moving up the floor.
"Let's go straight up."
Annan no longer wasted time and took the lead in stepping up.
Circle after circle along the rock pillar, about three or four meters above the ground, Alice suddenly grabbed him, then picked up a stone and threw it forward.
The spell trap is activated, and a pair of invisible hands push the stone out of the steps.
"A mischievous hand, a disgusting little trap......" Alice said.
You can't kill a person at this height, but there's nothing wrong with breaking a leg.
"Aren't they warriors?" Annan let the resentful Theophilus go ahead.
"Maybe the second wave did it."
They are the third wave.
However, there was only one trap, and there were no more surprises until it was close to the top of the rock.
Theophilus reached the penultimate level, and Annan followed them up on the ash floor.
The "snowflakes" that greeted them fell from the sky, pale under the light. One of the contestants stretched out his hand and watched as the "snowflakes" fell on his fingers, turning into black ashes with a slight twist, and the same black snow spread into the depths of the dark space.
So it's not called a snowflake layer.
