After figuring out a series of connections in my mind, the corners of my mouth curled up slightly, revealing what Hill considered to be his signature devilish smile.
Moreover, the core of the city does not necessarily have to start from Berghead. Isn't there a most suitable city in the Light Camp that can be used as a target, although it will require a little trouble on your part.
Chapter 60 Desert
Northwest of the border city of Antia, in the Sierra Desert.
In the desert area formed by the dry climate, the scorching sun shines recklessly on the surface of the gravel, steaming up rolling heat waves. At a glance, there are sand dunes with shining spots everywhere.
In this harsh environment, only some plants such as tamarisk and thorn grass can take root and spread everywhere to show their unyielding will. Occasionally, some desert antelopes, gerbils and other animals run quickly and disappear in the blink of an eye.
Although desolate, it seems unexpectedly quiet and peaceful. After all, many caravans pass through this desert, transporting goods to neighboring empires for sale. Over time, many trade routes have been formed on the sand sea, and rest areas have been formed near the oasis, which are also safe zones in the desert.
Of course, just like a coin has two sides, somewhere in this vast sea of sand, there is an area designated as a dangerous zone by the locals.
It looks no different from other places, but it seems to have been cursed by a mysterious force and is shrouded in wind and sand all year round. Once you go deep into it, you will lose your way in a blink of an eye because of the dust. Even the experienced guides in the desert dare not step into it.
But even so, it still attracted many adventurers over the past few hundred years, because deep in this area, according to legend, there is the ancient capital of Marina, known as the Golden Kingdom.
Amidst the sky full of sand and wind, a team passed through the sand dunes and arrived at their destination, a huge relic formed by sand and gravel.
"This is it." Dolan, who was in the lead, stretched out her hand to push away the hair in front of her and pointed forward with her eyes.
"Thank goodness you guys found this place, it would be a terrible thing if we got lost there."
A petite figure behind him lifted up the robe and hat used to block the wind and sand, revealing a delicate and lovely face. He looked at the flying sand and dust behind him and was a little shocked.
After all, anyone who survived that horrific sandstorm unscathed would have this kind of fearful thought.
"We recorded the coordinates and spent three days deducing them step by step." Duolan stepped forward and inserted a disc into the opening of the stone pillar, then stepped back a few steps and pinched the cheek of the person next to her. "I didn't expect that you would take the initiative to help. If the president and the elite group knew about this, they would probably be very happy."
Naturally, the one who was ravaged by the other's little hands was me.
After telling Hill and the others about my initial plan, I asked them to try their best to coordinate the royalist forces in Berghead during this period of time, and to incite those forces and people with ulterior motives to rebel.
At the same time, Satasia and Garcinia each took their own men and placed them in the towns around Berghead in the name of Sherlock.
While the situation in and outside Berghead was turbulent, I returned to the light camp and made the necessary preparations for the rest of the overall plan.
"After all, my sister is in trouble, so I have no choice but to do it."
"Don't come on, you wouldn't be so attentive if you didn't have anything to do." Duolan flicked someone's small nose, "And as far as I know, you're not a masochist."
What Dolan meant by her last sentence was almost the same as running to a group of lolita lovers to suffer. After all, she clearly remembered what kind of mascot-like treatment they encountered when they came to guide the elite team to pass the dungeon last time.
I stuck out my tongue. "Well, I can't hide it from Sister Duolan. Actually, I just want to borrow a group. I have a mission to clean up the desert clan tribe nearby."
"It's that simple?"
"Ahem, there are also a few things dropped in the ancient city of Marina."
"I knew it."
Duolan rolled her eyes and said, "I agree as acting president, but I have to make it clear in advance that we will not release the blueprint."
Now it was my turn to roll my eyes. "Where did the blueprints for the war weapons come from in the previous dungeon?"
"You damn girl..." Duolan was about to hit me, but I had already jumped away. I couldn't help but curl my lips and said, "Why didn't your sister Xi'er come with you?"
"She has something to deal with. Don't worry. I've already got the strategy guide and other things."
"If you fail, I will throw you into the midst of those lolita lovers and leave you to fend for yourself."
"Omitted." I made a face.
Just as the noise was going on here, accompanied by a rumbling sound, the ruins on the other side were finally opened. The sand and gravel fell and melted like a waterfall, revealing a huge opening.
It looks like an ordinary doorway, with only sand dunes behind it.
However, after Dolan and I passed through, the scene in front of us suddenly changed, as if we had entered a new world.
The sky, which was originally obscured by wind and sand, revealed its original clarity, and under the scorching sun, a huge and magnificent desert city stood out above the sea of sand in the distance.
The Golden Kingdom, the ancient capital of Marina, is said to be the place where the treasures of the Ceylon royal family are buried.
And in the oasis outside this ancient capital, a group of beautiful women formed a beautiful landscape, which attracted people's attention at a glance. It seemed that because of the failure of the recent dungeon opening, many people had a look of loss on their faces.
This naturally included the president of Rose Heart, Red Rose herself, who was instructing the members around her to recover while also discussing the situation in the dungeon with Shisha and Red Coral next to her.
At this moment, Red Rose noticed that the system prompted that a member had entered the ancient capital of Marina.
"Dolan is such a slow girl. She only buys things after she has finished the whole process."
"Didn't we get wiped out too quickly?" Hong Shanhu muttered. She still wanted to argue for her good sister on this point, although she herself felt a little embarrassed to say this fact.
Without hearing Red Coral's muttering, Red Rose turned her head and looked behind her, but she vaguely discovered something, "Hmm, why is there someone following Dolan..."
Before she finished her words, she saw Shuiyan, who had not reacted at first, suddenly rushed backwards at such a speed that she even used the skill of charging.
"What happened to the hookah?"
Red Rose couldn't help but blink her eyes. With her gentle and intellectual beautiful face, she seemed to have a kind of contrasting playfulness. Soon her inner doubts were answered by Red Coral next to her.
"Oh, it turns out Xiaotong is here too." Hong Shanhu glanced at another name on the system prompt.
Then the next second she saw her president disappear in an instant and quickly reappear in the distance behind him, as if he had used the flash spell and a more advanced short-distance teleportation spell.
"Shisha, you girl actually ran away!"
"..."
Chapter 61 Simultaneous Strategy
In the end, of course, it was a smell fetishist who had the advantage of "getting ahead" and was the first to grab the qualification to adopt the "power bank", and with a satisfied look on his face, he brought it back to the oasis where the elite group gathered.
"Hey hey hey, Xiaotong is here too, I missed you so much!"
"Actually, you were just thinking about teasing me. Go to jail, you lolita control bastard."
"When you say this, please stop what you are doing with your hands."
"That's too much, I want to touch it too!"
"Mingming, switch places with me, and I'll give you thirty contributions."
"Is this all the love you have for Xiaotong? I'll give you fifty!"
"one hundred!"
During the previous few times I came to Rose Heart to guide them through several difficult dungeons, I had already met several elite groups. Although I may not remember their names, most of the members of these elite groups were deeply impressed by this little Lolita who could always come up with wonderful strategies.
After all, apart from anything else, the furry cat ears and cat tail decorations alone are enough to touch their girlish hearts, not to mention the other party's delicate and cute face.
So when Shisha brought me here, it was natural that I attracted attention.
Although I'm used to this and have accepted my identity as a mascot, I still feel a bit overwhelmed when faced with the many lolita lovers who suddenly surrounded me.
It is fortunate that in the past few months, new protection rules have been customized in the era. Even women are not allowed to do anything too presumptuous. And with the "protection" of hookah, the most they can do is pat their heads or rub their faces. Otherwise, surrounded by so many girls who are determined to go to jail, they would have ended up in the tragic state shown in the last few pages of the fan fiction.
But even so, it was still not very pleasant. Fortunately, they were stopped in the end by the red rose next to them, who could not bear to watch it or could not squeeze in. Everyone realized that the important matter was the important matter and dispersed.
"See, I told you so." Dolan looked at me gloatingly as I escaped in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
After the farce was over, Red Rose brought me and the other members of the elite group who had recovered to an entrance of the ancient capital.
"Are there only this many people?" I looked around. Although there are four elite groups here, with about two hundred people, it is still not enough compared to the manpower required for the guild copy.
Red Rose saw my confusion and said, "The remaining elite group and the knight group are on the other side. They have already cleared the level and are brushing up their guild reputation."
As expected, other elite groups were arranged to specifically conquer other urban areas of the ancient capital of Marina.
Hearing this, I understood.
This is the mechanism of the Marina Ancient Capital dungeon, or the mechanism of most guild dungeons. Only by clearing all the dungeons in the previous stages can you unlock the progress of the next stage.
Furthermore, considering the difficulty of the guild mission regarding the Ancient City of Marina that Rose Heart has accepted, these independent dungeons will definitely be divided into different stages. After completing them once, the internal parts will change, which is equivalent to conquering new dungeons in succession.
As expected, while Red Rose was talking, she had already brought us to the two outer city areas of the ancient capital. This area was blocked by a force. If we wanted to go deeper, we could only completely clear the independent copies corresponding to the city areas.
The maximum number of people allowed in each independent copy is 120, which is why Red Rose brought four elite groups here.
"Our difficulty lies in the fourth part of these two urban areas. The other outer urban areas have been completely developed. We only need this part to start the second stage, which is the middle urban area." Dolan explained.
But when they were talking, including her, everyone else couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. Although these were the two most difficult areas, they were after all the forefront of the guild's elite group. Now they were holding everyone else back, which made them feel very embarrassed.
Hong Shanhu coughed and looked at me, "Do you need us to call someone over?"
I thought about it and said, "Bring in a few thieves with over 300 agility, preferably those who can feign death, and some priests who have completed job transfer, to replace those who haven't completed the first job transfer in the team."
The above conditions can be said to be somewhat harsh.
After all, at this stage, the agility attribute of most thieves is still around 100 or 200. Reaching 300 can be said to be a master who can rank among the top in the entire empire, and feigning death is also a very rare skill for thieves.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of experts in the Rose Heart. After hearing this, Red Rose asked Shuiyan to contact several thieves in other locations of the ancient capital of Marina.
Hearing the last sentence, he couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, my dear Xiaotong, all the four elite groups here are priests who have reached the first level."
"Huh?" I didn't expect to get such an answer. After all, the difficulty of the current job transfer task can be seen from the fact that Yun Xian and Yun Qian, the two rich loli, are still trying hard to figure it out.
However, at this stage, the Heart of the Rose has completed the transformation of all the priests of the two elite groups, which is enough to show their emphasis on priests and the strength of the guild.
Obviously, there was no such development at this time in my previous life. It seems that my butterfly effect has indeed had a huge impact.
I couldn't help but think.
But I was not too surprised. After all, those veteran teams such as Storm and Empire Epic can also achieve this level. With the current strength of Rose Heart, it can only be ranked fifth. If it wants to squeeze into the forefront, it still has a long way to go.
"By the way, Rose...Mom, find five more folk mages from the guilds who you think have the most talent and potential." I added, remembering something.
Hearing this, not only Red Rose, but also Dolan and the others were a little confused, "What is this going to do?"
"It's equivalent to the reward for a copy." I put my fingertips against my pink lips and blinked cutely.
Red Rose and the others understood immediately, and after discussing with each other, they let Shuiyan contact the qualified people in the guild again.
After a while, other members of the elite group were called over.
What surprised me was that Yuanye Eleven was included in the group, and there was also another important figure in Rose Heart, Meng Qingying, who was responsible for the development of Rose Heart in the north of the empire and was a good friend of Red Rose in reality.
It can be seen that Rose Heart attaches great importance to this guild copy, and even pulled the other party over.
"Xiao Tong, I miss you so much~ Shi Yan, don't be so stingy, just let me hug you~"
Compared to Yuanye Shiyi, who was not afraid of the hookah and was fighting for his right to belong to the food, Meng Qingying seemed much more mature. She just looked at me and smiled gently, "This is the little sister Xiaotong you mentioned, it's our first meeting."
"Hello, Sister Qingying."
After saying hello, we naturally got down to business. However, after hearing my arrangement, Yuanye Eleven's face immediately fell, "Why do you want to chase me away? I want to be in the same team with Xiaotong!"
The others were also quite puzzled. After all, my suggestion of splitting the four elite groups into two teams and having them enter the dungeon at the same time was somewhat beyond everyone's expectations. They had originally imagined that I would tackle two independent dungeons in sequence.
If we attack at the same time, I will not be able to take into account all the situations in the dungeon on the other side where I am not involved, which may make things more complicated and troublesome.
"Trust me."
But after I made the promise, Red Rose and others, who had seen all my methods before, also made arrangements according to my instructions.
Chapter 62 Entering the Dungeon
Several thieves including Yuanye Eleven, as well as Dolan and Hong Shanhu went to the 23rd Regiment, leaving me, Shuiyan, Red Rose and Meng Qingying in the 14th Regiment.
Based on these similar candidates, the corresponding copies of the two urban areas of the ancient capital of Marina were opened.
With the flash of white light, I and the other people around me finally entered the interior of the city.
The ancient capital of Marina is located deep in the desert. The city naturally has the unique style and customs of the desert. Buildings made of stacked sand and stones, ups and downs of highlands, and plants and shrubs such as palm trees and olive trees can be seen everywhere.
It looked no different from any other small town in the desert, but the groups of monsters wandering around the roads and buildings clearly indicated that this was not a safe area.
Sandstone Golem: Level 70, HP: 8000/8000
Sandstone Behemoth: Level 75, HP: 9000/9000
Sandstone Earthman: Level 75, HP: 8800/8800
These creatures, which resemble humans and beasts in shape but are made entirely of sand and stone, are guards created by the royal family of Ceylon using earth magic to guard the treasures of the ancient capital of Marina.
It has strong attack and defense capabilities, and can use the power of the rock veins under the ancient city of Marina and the sand and gravel found everywhere on the desert surface to repair damaged parts. In simple terms, it will automatically restore health, even in battle.
Not only that, the sand and gravel on the body can also be used as a means of attack. When attacking, there is a certain chance that a special effect will be attached, causing the player to be covered by sand and gravel and lose blood continuously, while also having a stiffness and slowness effect. Rose Heart has worked hard to prepare a large number of targeted potions for it.
