Don't call me evil god

Chapter 479 The Third Level

Believers like Lancelot ran around on the 4th floor of the stone fortress, trying every possible way to preach.

After discussion, Pete and his group decided to give up trying to get the reward.

Because it is actually not difficult.

There are many participants and the competition is fierce.

There are only 1000 missionary spots with rewards available this time, which means each person will get 5 or 6 rewards.

The rewards for missionary work are fixed. Each successful missionary work will give a fixed number of destiny points and legendary experience points.

Its upper limit is there.

The upper limit of the reward for tracking down clues about the man in black robe is much higher!
Because this task is significantly more difficult.

The greater the difficulty, the greater the reward!
In fact, Pete and others have already gotten a piece of "fat meat" by relying on this task of tracking down clues.

The clues they got from Yanhu Brackett, converted into their contribution to the mission, earned them more than a hundred destiny points and thousands of legendary experiences.

This is already as much as they gained from killing monsters in the Dark Forest for several days.

All they needed to get this reward was a conversation.

"Obviously, the difficulty of this mission lies in how to find clues that will help us find those black-robed men among the vast crowd of people in Stone Castle!"

"Before we find them, even an ordinary person, if he is smart enough," Pete pointed at his head, "can still get extraordinary rewards by advancing this mission!"

“But when it comes to clues, the reward is a one-time thing.”

"First come, first served. Whoever finds a useful clue first will get the reward!"

"No one has any idea right now, which means that any new breakthrough will have huge rewards!"

Pete used this reason to convince his companions.

The current clue is stuck on how to get to the second floor of the stone castle.

Normally, that place is a territory that truly belongs only to dwarves, and to dwarves with big family surnames.

It is almost impossible for outsiders to enter.

Pete's plan still fell on the dwarf Bron Freeman recommended by the countess.

……

Each person paid 3 silver coins as the elevator fee. They descended dozens of meters from the 4th floor to the 3rd floor. Even Brandon, the bravest one, felt his legs go weak.

Because this elevator is built on the inner edge of the circular platform!

There are no protective measures except for the railings less than half a meter high!
If you slip and fall, or if any accident happens along the way, the consequence is that you will fall directly into the lava lake at the bottom of the stone fortress and experience what it means to "swim in lava".

Although we are not afraid of death, we still know what it would feel like to die in lava. Unless it is necessary, no one is willing to try it.

After all, the pain of death is real, not a bit less.

The overall environment of the third floor of the stone fortress is obviously much more "spacious" than the fourth floor.

This level is equivalent to the deepest part of the stone fortress that outsiders can reach.

The third floor of the stone fortress generally has four functional areas:

The military area, the commercial area, the artisan area, and the area where the underground train station is located.

As the names suggest, the military zone occupies about 10% of the area, while the commercial zone occupies 25% of the area.

The artisan area is the largest, and it is where the dwarves live and work, occupying more than 3% of the area of ​​the third floor.

The last remaining underground train station area that goes directly to the capital of Reyak actually occupies a very small area. It was divided out separately because there are many warehouses for storing goods nearby.

In a sense, this small area is equivalent to the window of Stone Fort's foreign trade. Whether it is buying goods from outside or selling the unique weapons and equipment made by the dwarves, they are basically transported through the underground train stations with larger carrying capacity.

Although the goblin airship has a fast flying speed, the problem of carrying capacity is still a major flaw.

Compared with those on the 4th floor, the living conditions of the dwarves on the 3rd floor are obviously better.

Although the temperature has become a little higher, their living space is much larger.

No need to live in those crowded, narrow townhouses, no need to walk through long cave passages and low stairwells before returning home.

The dwarves here live in caves that are like "single-family villas", and the exit is on the mountain wall outside the circular platform, making travel much more convenient.

The identity of the dwarves living in this area is somewhat complex.

Some are of truly noble status, that is, those dwarves with big family surnames. Although they can live on the second floor for a long time, there are no entertainment venues there, so they usually live on the third floor, which is more interesting.

Some are ordinary Stone Castle dwarves who left their families and took other surnames, but they are doing better than their compatriots on the 4th layer. They have more money or some special skills that are better than others, which allow them to have enough income and savings to support their living expenses on the 3rd layer.

The same Stone Castle liquor, because the bar on the 3rd floor is much better than that on the 4th floor in terms of scale, environment and service.

For example, you won't see vomit all over the floor or drunken dwarves sleeping soundly in the taverns here.

There are wine waiters to clean and tidy up promptly;

Those who are drunk and unconscious will be quickly sent to the cave room inside the tavern to rest so as not to disturb others.

The environment is better, and correspondingly, the prices of goods such as alcohol and beverages are more than 4% higher.

All other items are generally more expensive than those on the 4th floor.

of course.

The quality is also better, there is no doubt about it.

For example, weapons and equipment that are truly made with the exclusive dwarf casting magic can only be purchased on the 3rd floor.

The items sold on the 4th floor are basically ordinary equipment that are commonly used in the market, with basically the same style and nothing special. These equipment are difficult to retail in the Stone Fortress, and are sold in bulk to goblins or human merchants, and then all transported to the underground train station and packaged and sent away.

According to the information provided by Yanhu Brackett, Pete found a sign indicating the third-level map to confirm the direction.

"Walk west from the elevator, pass through a small artisan area, and you'll see shops lined up on the mountain wall. That's the commercial area closest to us."

“Look for the one with the blue cold spirit pattern on the sign. It should be the store opened by the Freeman family on the third floor of the Stone Castle… Ouch!”

When Pete was concentrating on looking up at the road sign, he was suddenly bumped by someone and stumbled.

The one who bumped into him was a male dwarf.

He has dark brown hair and beard, brown skin with a slightly reddish tint, and is wearing a standard dwarf vest and shorts.

Judging from the thickness of his beard, the other person probably looks like a dwarf who has just reached adulthood not long ago.

Although the dwarf was covered in hard muscles, the dwarf who hit Pete this time did not look as strong as expected.

Even though he still looked like a muscular man, by dwarf standards, he would probably be considered thin and underdeveloped.

It was obvious that the other person accidentally bumped into someone while walking.

But he didn't show any intention of apologizing.

Instead, he glared at Pete fiercely!
