"Let's go take a look!"
"good!"
The two quickly reached a consensus.
Surrounded by a dense crowd, the adventurers, having received news that the White Dove Adventurer Group had started a live broadcast, swarmed toward the Adventurer Guild branch.
Linda reached out and wrapped her arms around Leah's slender waist.
Leah stiffened as if she had been electrocuted.
Before she could ask, the black eagle wings on Linda's back suddenly unfolded.
brush!
Amidst a chorus of astonished gazes, Linda, carrying Leah, took flight and soared into the azure sky!
On the street, Pik and many other adventurers stared blankly at their figures flying in the sky.
The ground was packed, but the sky was clear.
Linda gently flapped her wings and flew several hundred meters away.
From takeoff to landing, Linda took less than five seconds to arrive at the Adventurer Guild branch.
Piqué and the others were green with envy. This is what a top adventurer looks like!
Not only can he subdue the female gorilla Lia, but he can also fly and is a renowned star-ranked character. He's practically the protagonist of a wish-fulfillment comic book!
"Hiss... I also want to fly through the sky holding a beautiful girl, that's so cool! It has to be one of the ninety-nine things I must do in my life!"
"That's Linda, the 'Eye of Truth'? What's she doing in the Sparrow District?"
"Didn't you know? Both [Eye of True Knowledge] and [Blazing Flames] are adventurers who came from the Sparrow District."
"What?!"
A gasp of surprise rang out from the crowd.
Many new residents of Willow Leaf Street are unaware of the street's history.
One of the chimpanzee-like beastmen, in particular, shuddered violently, remembering how he had led his men to extort protection money, and felt a chill run down his spine.
I've heard that Linda is a gentle and righteous adventurer. If she finds out he's collecting protection money, she'll probably slap him to death!
The chimpanzee, who had originally planned to watch the walkthrough, secretly left the crowd, went home to pack his bags, and left Willow Leaf Street.
The other adventurers on Willow Leaf Street were full of energy, taking Linda as their role model, their eyes filled with a gleam of hope for the future.
...
"Please come in, gentlemen."
In the lobby of the Adventurers' Guild branch, a bearded man in a dark green jacket wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
His name was Brooke, and he led Linda and Leah, trembling with fear, to the second-floor stands.
For no other reason than that Brook had looked down on Leah when she was just a level 5 adventurer. Now that Leah was a star-ranked adventurer, Brook was afraid she would bring up the past and beat him up so badly he'd end up in the hospital.
He walked on thin ice the whole way.
Fortunately, Leah was focused on the adventure and didn't recognize him.
On the second floor, there was an open-air grandstand similar to a restaurant. Although the main hall was packed with people and filled with noise, this place was unusually spacious. Of the dozen or so tables, only two were sparsely occupied, and those were occupied by adventurers of level 10 or 12.
That's understandable, since you only reach the top level in the middle ten or so in the Mahjong area.
The more capable ones all went to the inner city, where the security was better.
The adventurers at the two tables recognized Linda and Lia, and they sat up straight and bowed slightly to them.
Linda nodded casually and sat down at the table near the stair railing.
"We're a little late..."
He murmured to himself, his gaze fixed on the large, suspended screen on the first floor.
Above, the figures of Abner and others appeared.
The 19th level of the secret realm is called the [Lava Cave], with a maximum limit of 10 people allowed to enter.
In the scene, there is a lava river about twenty meters wide, meandering and flowing, its length invisible, like a fiery serpent coiled on the earth.
The banks on both sides are lined with red rocks, which hiss and emit light red steam, like a thin mist.
Abner and the others faced a colossal monster with serious expressions: a giant python that moved with ease in the lava pool, easily whipping out tons of lava with each tail swing.
The giant python has dark red scales and two pairs of short legs on its belly that look very much like those of a gecko.
Abner and his men seemed to be encountering some kind of difficulty, leaving the heavily armored warriors to hold out in front while the rear ranks did not launch an attack.
Thud! Thud!
The giant python was twenty meters long and as thick as a water vat. It slammed its tail against the heavily armored warrior's shield with a dull thud.
The burly man with short blond hair looked troubled; the webs between his hands cracked from the shock, and the large shield was scorched red.
The burly man braced himself against the shield with his shoulder, his muscles charred and stuck to it.
Even so, the burly man did not give an inch, his figure as immovable as an iron tower.
【Solid Shield】Audius, Level 37, the strongest heavily armored warrior in White Dove City, and has a certain reputation even in South Rock City and Red Peach City—this person's information flashed through Linda's mind.
The monster that the White Dove Adventurers faced was called the Four-Legged Flame Python, a level 39, epic four-star monster.
That's right, what Abner and the others are fighting is not the Fire Giant!
This is precisely the most difficult part of the Nightmare level.
Linda stared at Abner on the screen, muttering to herself, "Ten levels before the final boss appears, three of which appear randomly each time. You have to clear them all before you can face the final boss... Abner, how will you deal with him now?"
In the original storyline, Abner broke through to the Moon Rank and, together with Kit and Gale, who were also at the Moon Rank, they overcame numerous obstacles to defeat the Flame Giant.
On the screen, Abner made no move, and the mages took a while to chant a spell to attack the four-legged fire python that was half-hidden in the lava river.
[Steady Shield] Audis was having a very difficult time holding the line, almost like he was being roasted alive, while the mage and the strongest DPS, Abner, were leisurely unleashing their attacks as if they were taking a leisurely stroll.
The adventurers in the hall were both anxious and angry, and they really wanted to vent their frustrations on the big screen.
After all, one can choose to send suggestions anonymously, and there are no worries about the consequences of criticizing Abner.
The problem is that sending a suggestion in the 19th-level secret realm requires at least a level 19 white common magic core. Adventurers living in the Sparrow District wouldn't even be worth a level 19 magic core if they were sold.
They could only angrily point fingers in the hall:
"Is Abner out of his mind? The heavily armored warriors are about to collapse, and he's still standing there motionless. Does he have polio?"
"If it were me, I would have given a series of commands and taken down that giant python!"
"Yes, even Star-Rank Adventurers are not as good as us."
The doubts grew louder and louder. Everyone questioned that if they had the same strength as Abner, they would have already defeated that monster, conquered the fire giant, and led White Dove City to the pinnacle of life.
"Alright."
Just then, a cold voice, like a sharp sword, cleaved through all the noise and entered the ears of everyone present: "Abner isn't refusing to act, he 'cannot' act."
"Who, who's talking in my head!?"
"That's... Linda? What's she doing here!"
"Lia's here too? Hiss... Two Star-Rank players in the Sparrow District? That's outrageous, brothers!"
