Who designed this underworld dungeon?.

Chapter 396: Area Blocked by the Pope
Time came to seven days later.

News of what happened in Anor Londo has spread to all areas covered by the Thane dungeon.

"What new tricks can those Dark Moon Swords come up with?"

"You mean the group that believes in the Shadow Sun? I thought that was the end of it."

In a tavern in Bed City, several idle men sat together, drinking and discussing recent events in broad daylight.

They are people who live on the fringes of society. They work, drink and chat on weekdays, and do not participate deeply in any events. Therefore, they have become the intersection of all kinds of rumors.

"I saw that they were going to defeat that guy named Eldridge, the god who saved himself, but until now they can't even win. Recently they even only have one live broadcast, and they will shut it down immediately if they lose. I feel a little sorry for them when I see this." Idle Man A shook his head.

Idle Man B took a sip of wine and said, "Besides fighting the god-eaters, I think the Dark Moon Swords are doing a lot of other things."

"for example?"

"For example, two days ago, someone tried to go to the painting world to warn the living Shadow Sun. Some people simply stayed in the painting world and said they wanted to defend the royal city. Some people performed a sacrificial dance in front of the statue of Gwyn, hoping for the god's help. Someone else organized a group of people with an average weight of more than 300 kilograms to attack Aldridge, hoping to pull the Shadow Sun's body down while the other party was eating them."

"Why does it have to be at least 300 kilograms?"

"Because the heavier he gets, the slower Eldridge eats."

After these words were spoken, idle man A couldn't eat the barbecue in front of him anymore.

"So what's the result? With so many believers, there must be one who succeeds, right?"

Idle man B shook his head and was about to say something when the door of the pub was suddenly pushed open. The loud noise attracted people to turn their heads and look over, thinking that someone was coming to cause trouble.

However, the ones who showed up at the door were just a few desperate and disheartened adventurers. They didn't mean to knock on the door, they just felt so exhausted that they simply pushed it open with their shaking bodies.

When the people in the tavern saw the Darkmoon Sword badges worn by these adventurers, they turned their heads away as if they were used to it and continued chatting about their own things.

The adventurers who were carrying the Darkmoon Oath sat down listlessly in front of the empty tables. The boss came over and asked them several times before ordering a bunch of strong liquor, trying to numb their senses with alcohol.

Idle man B pointed at them, made a face, and shrugged his shoulders. What he had not said just now was self-evident.

All the Dark Moon Swords' actions failed.

When a disaster occurs, people all want to be heroes, but only after they fail do they realize they can do nothing.

You can find the frustrated Dark Moon Sword in any tavern in Bed City or even in the Royal City. People do not think their behavior is exaggerated. If you tell the Holy Light believers that the God of Light is dead, those guys will probably do more extreme things. Maybe they will have to drag a few more people with them when they are martyred.

Nowadays, the Dark Moon Swords just drown their sorrows in alcohol and do not bother others. In the eyes of the residents, they are a rare group of high-quality people.

"Speaking of the Church of Holy Light, you all know about the appearance of the God of Holy Light, right? Finally, a god we are familiar with has begun to take action." The idlers changed the subject.

"I've seen the blessed Lika before. That sickly guy has now become a high-ranking official in the Holy Light Church. I'm so envious! Why am I not blessed?"

"You don't believe in Holy Light. But I've recently been thinking about joining the Holy Light Church. Now, whether it's the Spark, Dark Moon, or other churches, they've all been trampled on by it, and its recent behavior shows that it's deliberately suppressing other churches."

"As expected of a traditional church that has deep roots in the kingdom, it seemed to be declining over the years, but once it started to function, it immediately became the giant it once was in history."

The drunk idle man C shouted loudly: "In my opinion, I still have to believe in such a big church. If I believe in those small churches, I don't know when I will have fun."

Idle man B coughed twice and covered the other person's mouth with his hand, because the Dark Moon Swords around the tavern all looked over with unfriendly expressions!

The idle man C, who wanted to take advantage of the drunkenness to chat, was frightened and fell to the ground, and quickly crawled under the table.

"let's go"

Someone among the adventurers said something, and everyone slapped the meal money on the table and was about to leave. Someone angrily kicked the exposed buttocks of the idler to vent his anger.

"Da da da--"

Suddenly, there was a sound of running outside the tavern, which sounded a bit chaotic. What happened again?
The adventurer stuck his head out and saw a familiar figure. It was his good brother, the Dark Moon Sword, who used to play Happy Invasion with him. The people running on the street also looked more or less familiar to him, and the direction they were running seemed to be the portal to the Sen dungeon.

"What's wrong? Why are you running?" he asked loudly.

“Gwyndolin!” the man shouted, “Fingry has discovered the words Gwyndolin left behind. They are being broadcast in real time. Go check them out!”

Upon hearing this, the adventurers quickly ran towards the portal.

Time goes back one hour.

Fingri's live broadcast appeared on time on the curtain set up near the portal, and people have become accustomed to this scene.

The new invention of the video stone seems very novel to people, but it has many problems nowadays and needs a lot of improvements before it can be put on the market. Fingri is currently using the best version, but sometimes there will still be frequent black screens or delays.

Groups of people gathered in front of the curtain, but there was no expectation in their eyes anymore. They just wanted to see how long this group of adventurers could hold on.

At this moment, Fingri, who was in the dungeon, didn't know how long he could hold on.

The battle with Aldridge has been inconclusive so far. There were several times when we saw hope of victory, but we failed because of some minor issues.

Even though he paid attention to these problems again and again, he was never able to completely solve them. The best time he played was only forcing Aldridge to enter the second stage where sparks appeared in his body. After the second stage, his strength was only slightly weaker than that of the Salary King form of the Undead Team.

However, the normal form and the Lord of Cinders form of the Fran's Undead Corps are counted separately. Defeating the normal form can be considered the adventurer's victory, while the two forms of Aldridge are counted together!
This resulted in the adventurer being unable to win no matter how hard he tried. At this moment, he and his companions stood in front of the fog gate of Anor Londo. Inside was the enemy that he had challenged dozens of times but could not defeat. This time, he probably had no chance of winning.

Aldridge will charge up a move to clear the entire field of Darkmoon Arrows. Adventurers who touch it will die. In addition to interrupting the charging in time, Tops' force field is actually effective against this move. He discovered this in the last battle.

In the end, the battle was lost, and a hard-earned silver shield was wasted in vain.

Now Fingri felt deeply tired in his heart, a feeling even more tiring than when the little boy tried so hard to save Irithyll.

"Forget it, I won't go in this time." He suddenly said this and turned away.

When the audience outside saw this scene, they thought he had finally given up and showed disappointed expressions.

But the real-time transmission was not shut down. Fingerly began to explore the interior of the castle, and the crowd that had started walking stopped again.

Those who can enter Anor Londo come here to fight Aldrich as soon as they open their eyes. After losing a few battles, they leave in despair. There is really a lack of exploration of this castle.

The main reason is that everyone has been to Anor Londo and is almost familiar with the architectural structure here. The rewards placed along the way to the castle - Aldrich Mist Gate are extremely similar to the painting world, which misleads adventurers into thinking that the following areas are no different from the painting world.

People followed Fingri's perspective to watch the decaying royal city covered with ice and snow. It was difficult to have any positive emotions other than feeling sad. The effect was worse than fighting Aldridge.

Those who have been to the painting world are observing the details. They suddenly say to themselves:
"Why does it feel like the structure deep inside the castle has changed? The location of the reward has also changed."

The props that Fingri picked up in the hidden corner of the castle made these people even more stunned.

【The key to the rotating mechanism】

[Inserting it into the rotating mechanism will allow it to reach the area blocked by Pope Sullivan]

Isn't the revolving mechanism referring to the revolving staircase that can take you to new places? Why didn't we see it?

And the area blocked by Shalivan.
Fingri suddenly thought of something, waved to his companions, and quickly ran towards the rotating mechanism outside the castle.

Most of the buildings in Anor Londo here have collapsed. The only places that the rotating mechanism can reach are the middle and lower levels in the painting world, which correspond to the road leading to the castle and Gwyn's tomb, where Gwyndolin's fog gate was once located.

Adventurers have also visited Gwyn's tomb. Since the helpful sun warrior is no longer there, the statue of Gwyn will no longer disappear, so wearing the Darkmoon Priest Ring is useless.

Fingerly searched the rotating mechanism for a long time and actually found the keyhole at the push rod!

Because there is no such setting in the painting world, they subconsciously did not observe this place carefully!

Insert the key, rotate the mechanism and slowly rise, the stairs reach the upper floor, no, a place higher than the upper floor.

Matilda saw that her captain actually clenched his fists with an expectant look. She hadn't seen him so nervous for a long time since she learned about Aldridge's news.

She even started to wonder what was going on in the higher levels. Could it be that Gwyndolin was not dead, but was just imprisoned somewhere else?
"boom"

The mechanism slowly stopped, but the scene before their eyes was incomprehensible to everyone.

The stairs face an empty cliff?
There is a lonely tower a hundred meters away on the opposite side, and it can be seen that the stairs should have been connected to the bridge leading to the tower.

However, the bridge was broken at this moment, breaking from both ends, leaving a large gap in the middle. If you fell on it, you would definitely be smashed into a meat paste.

"Try using flying magic?"

"Aren't you afraid that Sean will give you a hard time?"

"hiss"

Just as the two were hesitating, a few straws came over and poked them. When they turned around, they saw that it was Alayya.

"What's wrong?" asked Fingerly.

Alaiya said nothing, but pointed at her feet. The body of the scarecrow she controlled produced a lot of straw, which wrapped around the air like thin vines! ?

“It turns out to be an invisible bridge!”

Fingri suddenly realized that it had been a long time since he saw the invisible bridge in Sean.

Alayya walked in front, her vines wrapping around the invisible bridge as she walked, revealing its shape. Fingerly and Matilda walked behind, steadily.

As you approach the tower, the name of this place appears along with an indescribable sound effect.

[Captive Tower]

"captive."

Matilda muttered this word, she looked up at Fingerly, who showed an expression of "just as I expected" and said:
"If I'm not mistaken, there should be——"

"Who are you and why are you stopping here?"

A strange young woman's voice appeared in everyone's ears.
