From Dungeon to Gaming Empire

This person could easily attack Stonewell, but for some reason he stayed alone in this shabby house.

As for his problem?

"I won't give up!"

A sentence emerged in Mengbai's mind. It was left by the witch whose name he didn't even know.

Although his previous incarnation failed to protect the witch, she still trusted him even before her death.

Mengbai then said in a more determined tone: "Even if the guidance is broken, I will definitely become the King of Elden!"

"Well, that's good. It's a role model for those who fade away. I really miss it..."

Bernard said slowly, "For some reason, I no longer have any interest in fighting for the Great Rune, so I won't help you deal with the Ominous Demon or Reaper Greg, but..."

Speaking of which.

Bernard said, "If you are willing, I can teach you my fighting skills. After all, there are not many exemplary faders like you now."

Not trying to help?

This is really regrettable!

This Faded One is quite powerful. If he can join the team to defeat Greg, the next battle will surely become much easier!

But think about it.

But I also think this may not be a bad thing.

Roger only wants to find out the truth about the Night of the Black Knife.

For some reason, Bernal seemed discouraged and unwilling to pursue the throne of King Elden.

This means that there is no competition conflict between these two faders with great potential and their own goals.

Two powerful opponents are missing!

We can also carry out more cooperation in the future.

As for Bernal's fighting skills, this guy is a powerful master who can teach more than ten kinds of fighting skills.

From body movements to swordsmanship.

Mengbai got a rough understanding of it and felt that it was very practical. Having such a combat skills teacher was enough to improve his strength a lot.

Of course, learning combat skills is not free.

Mengbai needs to collect enough runes to transform them into corresponding war ash. She used up the runes she had accumulated to obtain the bolt and thrust, two simple but very practical skills.

Completed skills.

Bernard remembered something.

He reminded, "There's a girl with a special background nearby. She looks like she just escaped from Stoneville City and needs help. She might be able to provide you with some useful information."

Another useful character?

Mengbai expressed his gratitude to Bernal.

The girl Bernal was talking about was hiding in a dilapidated wooden house nearby that was leaking air from all sides.

The girl wore a red hood, had long golden hair, and her clothes looked very delicate.

Most importantly, unlike ordinary residents of the border area, she is completely normal in both appearance and mental state.

This means that either the other party has a complicated background and better means of protection, or he has extraordinary willpower, so he withstood the impact when the magic ring was broken.

Mengbai prefers the former.

Because this girl doesn't look like a master, nor does she look like a person with a strong will. At this moment, she is huddled in the corner, shivering with fear on her face.

Mengbai shows his identity and kindness.

She immediately asked, "Why are you hiding here alone?"

The red-hooded girl muttered in horror, "Everyone's had their limbs reattached... Those who came here with me and fought for me... their hands, feet, heads... all chopped off and turned into... parts of spiders!"

Mengbai took some effort to figure out the whole story from the girl's confusing description.

The girl with a red hat is named Roderica. She is not an ordinary girl, but a member of the Rodel royal family, a descendant of the Golden Family.

Because Roderica could no longer see the blessing one day, she was exiled by the Golden Clan.

Because of a series of turmoil such as the Night of the Black Knife, the Shattering of the Ring, and the Fragment War, she came to Nimgefu with her entourage.

Under the instigation of the white-masked Van Lei, Roderica led her people into the city of Stonewell, intending to meet Greg, the direct descendant of the Golden Clan.

This king of noble blood, holding the Great Rune Fragment, has embarked on the path of limb reattachment.

Greg was greatly shocked after being defeated by the Valkyrie Marilena. He felt that the reason for his defeat was that his bloodline was not pure enough.

Therefore, Greg not only needs to take the limbs of the strong, but also the limbs of the descendants of the Golden Clan.

It just so happened that many of Roderica and her entourage had the blood of the Golden Clan, so they naturally became Greg's material and prey.

Under Greg's instigation, everyone even volunteered to sacrifice their limbs in order to revive the Golden Dynasty.

however.

When you see the process of limb reattachment.

Roderica felt a strong sense of fear and finally chose to flee Stoneville and came here alone.

Because of this, Roderica felt very guilty, because she should have been with her companions and become a part of King Greg.

"Did you know? When a person's body is attached to Greg and a spider, they grow like a chrysalis."

Roderica looked at the Faded One in front of her: "Do you want to enter Stoneville? Is it because you listened to Mr. White Mask, or do you want to become part of the Spider..."

"Greck only wants the arms of the Golden Clan. Ordinary faded ones won't do..."

"If so, that's my goal, but I really don't have the courage right now... The limb-reattachment ceremony involves having my hands, feet, and head chopped off... It's truly too horrible!"

"I want to be with everyone, but I'm so scared. I'm such a coward."

Although the girl did not lose her mind because of the broken magic ring, she seemed to have seen an extremely terrifying scene, so she was frightened and kept talking incoherently.

Meng Bai said directly: "I have no interest in the joint limbs. I went to Stonewell City for only one purpose, and that was to challenge Greg and take away the Great Rune!"

"What? You want to challenge Lord Greg? That's impossible. He's too terrifying and invincible right now!"

Roderica obviously did not think highly of the Faded Ones, but as if she had thought of something, she immediately said:

"But if you're going to Stoneville, please go there and tell everyone who's turned into a chrysalis... I love you all. Although I'm still scared, if you give me a little time, I will definitely become like you."

Mengbai was a little confused.

Other onlooker adventures are similar.

"From Rodlika's description, her companions must have had their limbs and even their heads chopped off, and the severed parts became part of Gray's body."

"Isn't this completely dead?"

"Dead? Not necessarily!"

"There's a strange setting at the border where the soul and even the body never die."

"Even if these people's bodies were chopped into pieces, their souls might still remain inside and not truly die."

"Fuck, this is so weird, what a twisted and sick world this is!"

"..."

Rodelica was probably worried that the Faded One would not agree, so she took out a portion of ashes from her body.

"This child's soul might be of use to you. It's too pitiful to let it follow someone as cowardly and incompetent as me... She seems to like you, too. Please accept it!"

It's a portion of ashes.

[Soul Jellyfish Ashes] (Secret Realm Item)...

Meng Bai was delighted.

This is the second batch of ashes.

Although it looks like a jellyfish with little attack power, in fact, this ashes is definitely not weak and is very practical.

Roderica not only gave Mengbai ashes, but also showed her the way to enter Stonewell.

Mengbai was very satisfied with this.

Therefore, Rodlika's request was agreed.

If you pass by this area while entering Stoneville, you will go in to take a look.

After meeting the combat skills teacher Bernal and the red-hat girl Roderica, Mengbai rode his horse straight to Stonewell.

Although there were traces of patrolling Grek soldiers and mountain goblins everywhere along the way, thanks to the mobility of the spirit horse Torret, they were quickly shaken off.

Soon after.

Higanbana officially arrived in front of Stonewell City. Although it has not officially entered yet, it can feel the killing and cruelty here.

The huge castle was built on a huge cliff, and there was only a narrow passage outside the main gate leading to the outside world.

A wall was built around the castle, and outside the wall were defensive fortifications everywhere, piles of corpses that had not been cleaned up in time, flags and arrows, and broken guns and swords were scattered everywhere.

The war here seems to have never stopped, accompanied by the hurricane unique to Storm Hill, giving people a strong sense of solemnity.

Higanbana encountered a blessing before entering the area, and received a prompt when she activated the blessing.

【You have activated the miracle blessing! 】

[Team challenge mode can be opened here. Do you want to start team matching immediately? ]

[Note that this mode will automatically exclude local units.]

【…】

Mengbai looked surprised.

This is clearly a special blessing.

It should only be usable by Miracle City adventurers, and cannot be used or seen by other local faders.

This blessing effect not only has the functions of an ordinary blessing, but is also a node that can summon adventurer teammates.

of course.

In team mode.

The adventurer's activity radius is limited, and if the challenge fails, the time will be rolled back.

This was the first time Mengbai encountered such a situation, which made her realize that there would probably be a tough battle ahead.

Mengbai now has two choices.

First, turn on team mode.

This can call upon several Miracle City adventurers who are exploring the parallel border areas, and everyone can team up to face the next challenge.

However, under this model, it is no longer possible to pull in local units at the junction, including not only other faded people but also ashes.

The second is normal mode.

Adventurers go straight ahead without forming a team.

In this mode, Mengbai can seek local helpers like Roger, or he can use the spirit bell to summon ashes.

interesting!

Mengbai didn't expect this either.

Miracle City has done quite a lot of work.

However, Mengbai neither chose to summon adventurers nor asked Roger for help. She decided to experience for herself what kind of battle required so much trouble.

When Mengbai walked towards Stonewell City.

At this moment, a voice appeared in my ears:

"O Faded One, manipulated by the fire of foolish ambition, you dream of obtaining the Ring of Elden?"

A golden light suddenly appeared on a tower outside Stonewell. When the golden light dissipated, an old man with a strange appearance appeared in the field of vision.

The man was unusually tall, wearing a tattered brown cloak. His face was covered with twisted horns, nearly half of which had been broken off, revealing an old, white-haired face. His eyes were a deep orange-gold color.

He suddenly leaped up, this jump was at least nearly a hundred meters high, and fell straight to the ground at a high speed like a meteorite. The strong wind and dust that were raised instantly swept across the surrounding area within two or three hundred meters.
