Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 234



[Chapter 234 Dungeon]

Could the reward this time be a ball of energy?

David looked at the thing in his hand and tried to make contact, but nothing happened after the holy light came into contact with the cyclone.

There was no fusion or rejection, as if there was nothing in his hand and the ball of air was just his illusion.

Although he didn’t understand what was going on, David was sure that what he had in his hand should not be an energy that could be absorbed.

“Is it like the seeds of crystal ore? Do I need to plant it somewhere?”

After returning to Glamorgan Castle from the Winter Hotel, David wandered around and decided to find a place in his back garden to try it out.

As a result, he soon discovered the correct way to use this thing: find a wall and throw it over there.

When the ball in his hand was thrown onto the wall, David suddenly understood what it was.

“Isn’t this the dungeon door?”

He had seen this familiar scene countless times. However, this time, as the energy rotated, the flat wall gradually turned into a huge double-opening door.

“…”

Watching the dungeon door in front of him turn into the door in the Diablo loading interface, David wondered if the reward this time was to let him go to the Diablo world?

What kind of reward is this?

With a head full of question marks, David did not rush in rashly. He continued to study for a while and knew how to take this “door” off the wall.

Afterwards, David contacted several people in Winter Town through the communication devices that had been gradually distributed, and he waited quietly in the basement that served as a training ground.

This underground training ground is located on the second underground floor below the garage. There is also a shooting range on the same floor, which is convenient for David to practice firearms and bows.

This place was chosen because this training ground is a spare training ground, which is not often used, and is suitable for placing the reward obtained this time.

After installing the things, David watched the air mass slowly turn into a familiar double-opening door, and David quietly waited for his companions to arrive.

He did not wait too long, and soon everyone, including Tony Stark, came here one after another.

Fortunately, the space here is spacious enough, and everyone has enough space to move around, otherwise David would definitely regret calling so many people over.

“What is this?”

“I don’t know.” David answered Tony very straightforwardly, letting Tony walk around the gate and study it.

“A newcomer? Who is coming this time?” Mark asked the newcomer’s identity directly, trying to guess the function of this thing through the newcomer’s identity.

“Aidan.”

“Who is that?”

It must be said that although the Diablo series has a considerable reputation, not many people know the background and character settings of the game.

If David had not read some online articles in his previous life and indirectly learned about the background settings of Diablo, he would not have known this information.

Sure enough, when David told about the situation in that world, Mark immediately remembered the game: “No wonder this gate looks so familiar.”

“David.”

“What?”

Hearing Tony’s call, David turned his head and looked over, and found that Tony was pointing his finger above the gate, where a row of words gradually emerged.

“Dungeon: Sanctuary!”

David read out the words that slowly emerged above, and everyone, including Tony, Mark, Laura, Eva, and Helen, began to guess what this thing was used for?

There are speculations that this is a stable channel to another world; but the prefix of the dungeon makes Mark feel that the situation may not be so simple.

“No matter how much you guess, it’s meaningless. If you want to determine the true function of this thing, the best way is to actually use it.” Tony directly summoned his armor and prepared to put on the armor to take a look.

“Let’s go in and take a look!” David also checked his personal equipment. Except for the Lightbringer suit, all other weapons were in the storage props.

Laura couldn’t be absent from such an adventure. When David checked his equipment, Laura had already taken out her bow.

Although she didn’t say anything directly, everyone understood her attitude.

“Let’s go!”

The iron armor flew over, and Tony instantly turned into an iron man. After saying hello to David, he took the lead in opening the door in front of him without waiting for David’s response. He ignored the fact that there was only a ball of light after the door was opened and he couldn’t see the situation behind the door at all, and walked in directly.

David originally wanted to add a layer of holy light shield to Tony, but before he could make a move, Tony had disappeared in the light.

After exchanging a glance with Laura and spreading his hands helplessly, the two of them released the holy light shield at the same time, and then walked into the light together…

The white light filled his eyes, and it took a few seconds to recover. David looked around and felt that the light around him was very dim.

Looking up at the sky, the thick dark clouds blocked most of the light.

“This seems to be the Rogue Camp?”

Mark’s voice came from behind, and David found that Mark had followed him. At the same time, there was an orange oval portal behind everyone.

Obviously, they came here through this door.

Looking around, this seemed to be the Rogue Camp, the opening location of Diablo 2.

David noticed that the people in the camp ignored their arrival and the orange portal next to them, and they still stood there, without even a change in their expressions.

While everyone was still observing the surroundings, Tony had walked up to the tall man closest to the crowd and tried to talk to him.

“Hello, stranger. I’m not surprised to see you. With all the troubles going on, many adventurers travel here from far away…”

The other person kept talking. Even if Tony tried to interrupt him, it was useless. The tall man kept talking until he finished, “You should talk to Akara. She seems to be the leader of this camp. Maybe she can tell you something else.” He stopped. Fortunately

, the other person spoke the common language of Brunnia, which everyone could understand.

But when Tony greeted this person again, he only got answers like “Hello.” “Nice to meet you.” “What’s up?”, which were mechanical, repetitive and without any emotion.

Seeing this scene, everyone understood what was going on.

“NPC?”

“Is this actually a game?” Mark looked around in surprise, and then pinched his arm hard. The clear pain made him wonder if he had guessed wrong: “Are we really in a game? Or is it just our consciousness that has entered?”

David hadn’t spoken a word. He now understood what the so-called dungeon meant.

In large-scale online games such as World of Warcraft, the so-called dungeons are actually called dungeons. Following this line of thought, the reward he received this time is actually a “dungeon”, and the content of the dungeon is Diablo 2.

After speaking out his own inference, everyone also agreed with David’s inference.

“Then the question is, what is the use of this dungeon? Are we real people coming in? Or are we just coming in with our consciousness?”

“I can be sure that we came in person.” In addition to making inferences, David also used the Holy Light to check his situation in secret.

He can give a very certain answer: they all came to the dungeon as a whole person.

“The Holy Light and Cybertron Body can be used normally, and all kinds of equipment have been brought in.”

“This is good news, although I don’t know if the weapons I carry on my body are effective against those so-called hell demons…” Tony also checked his equipment.

The good news is that his iron armor and the weapons and ammunition on it can be used normally, and he can even “contact” Jarvis here.

The bad news is that in such a place, he may not be able to replenish the consumed ammunition on the spot, and his combat effectiveness seems to be greatly limited.

“What should we do next? Go find Akara?” Laura didn’t say anything, just quietly observing from the side, and soon she had a general idea of the camp.

The camp was not big, and they were in the center of the camp at this time, so they could easily see the situation of the entire camp.

In addition to a few NPCs at their respective posts, the most common people in the camp were those rogues using bows and arrows.

“Before looking for Akara, maybe we should first determine the strength of the monsters in this dungeon.” David thought about it. Since it was determined that this was a place similar to a game dungeon, the first thing to determine was how strong the monsters were? Could he beat them? If he could beat them,

he could naturally consider more things; if he couldn’t beat them, there was no point in thinking too much.

“You’re right!” Tony agreed, and then he ascended directly on the spot. After slightly adjusting his direction in the air, he quickly locked onto a target.

He didn’t rush over rashly, but kept a sufficient distance and fired a missile.

The missile flew out from his arm and accurately hit the pale, stiff zombie, and then with a huge explosion and fire, it turned into fragments on the ground.

“Hmm?”

Tony vaguely sensed something and flew back to the Rogue Camp, landing in front of David.

“The monster outside is not strong, but after I killed that monster, I had a strange feeling.”

Before Tony finished speaking, David had already released holy light to “treat” Tony. As a result, after a large area of holy light was sprinkled over, Tony felt that the strange feeling did not disappear.

“Oh?”

After a careful inspection, and Jarvis’s detailed inspection of Tony through the armor’s own device, he finally came to the conclusion that there was a small amount of pure energy in Tony’s body. As this energy gradually weakened, Tony’s body seemed to have a very subtle improvement.

“Okay, I already know the function of this dungeon.”
