[Chapter 256: Saving the World]
“This is Winter City!” David looked at the face of Ah Tang, and was very curious about which Ah Tang was standing in front of him: “Get in the car first! You are not suitable to stand here and talk in this outfit.”
The pickup truck transformed by the iron sheet was a four-door pickup truck with two rows of seats in front and back. There was enough space in the car to carry another person.
The man with the face of Ah Tang also knew that in such a cold climate with wind and snow, if he continued to stay outdoors with only a few clothes on, he would soon become a corpse.
Damn it, I was obviously on vacation, how did I suddenly come to such a cold place?
What is Winter City?
Carefully recalling the memories in my mind, I found that I didn’t know which country this so-called Winter City was from.
In any case, he thought it would be better to get in the car first!
Opening the door, he saw that in addition to the young man in the driver’s seat, there were two young girls sitting in the car. This combination made him let down his guard a little. He
suddenly came to an unfamiliar place for no reason. His professional habits made him wary of the people around him and everyone who appeared in front of him.
But the combination of a young man and two young girls did not seem to pose any threat.
“Hello!” After greeting the two young girls, he thanked the young man in the front seat and introduced himself: “My name is Ethan, thank you for your help.”
“My name is David, you’re welcome!”
Hearing the name behind him, David also knew which ‘Tang’ was sitting in the car.
Although there were no eyes on the back of his head, David could feel that the tone of his answer seemed to have aroused Ethan’s suspicion, but it was not a big deal anyway, he would soon explain various situations to this elite agent.
Driving into Glamorgan Castle, Ethan had not seen it clearly because of the wind and snow just now. When the car stopped in front of the door, he noticed the shape of the house.
“This…”
If it weren’t for the different colors, he wondered if he had arrived in Washington? And the surrounding environment was not like this!
Where exactly did he go?
There were more and more question marks in his head, and then he noticed that after several people got off the car, the black pickup truck actually closed the door automatically, and then drove away without anyone driving.
“…”
He began to wonder if he was dreaming? Or maybe he was hallucinating?
“That…”
When he wanted to ask something, he was interrupted by the young man named David: “Come in first, you need a cup of hot tea to warm up your body now.”
Ethan took back his question and followed David to continue moving forward, observing the internal structure of the building.
After entering, he found that although there were many differences in details, the general layout was really the same as that building. Was it deliberately imitated? Who has such a bad taste?
When they arrived at the reception room, only David and Ethan sat down, and Sophia was taken away by Gwen on the pretext of taking her to visit Glamorgan Castle.
Ethan noticed that the two young girls spoke a strange language. Ethan, who had received various trainings and was proficient in multiple languages, found that this was a language he had never come into contact with.
Originally, I thought I was in the UK when I heard David’s standard British English. Now it seems that I may be in the north of Europe? Judging from the climate outside, maybe somewhere in Northern Europe?
Soon a maid brought hot tea, fruit and snacks. Looking at the exquisite snacks in front of him, Ethan just held the hot tea in his hands to warm his body, and never drank a mouthful.
David didn’t care about the other person’s behavior. When he heard the other person’s name and knew the other person’s identity, he knew that Ethan in front of him would definitely have similar behavior.
“What I’m going to say next may make you feel unbelievable, but please understand one thing, I’m not kidding you.”
Looking at David’s serious expression, Ethan nodded, indicating that he would listen carefully and not miss any details.
But when David really said it and told him what he had experienced, Ethan still felt unbelievable.
“Are you kidding me?” Ethan finally couldn’t help himself after trying not to interrupt David until he finished telling the whole story. “Actually, this is all a prank. Who planned this?”
“Sarah? Hannah? No, no, this kind of thing is more like that guy Jack.” The hot tea in his hand was no longer so hot, and the room was warm enough. Ethan felt that his body, which was a little frozen, gradually returned to normal: “But that guy shouldn’t be able to use so many resources. Could it be Jim?”
“Although it’s unbelievable, what I said before was the truth!” David took another sip of hot tea. Although more and more people came to Winter City, he had seen similar scenes countless times, but no matter how many times he saw it, he thought this scene was very interesting.
Especially when a person finds that his inherent three views are shattered.
He told Ethan how to go back and forth freely, indicating that if Ethan didn’t believe it, he could go out and test it himself.
“By the way, if you want to test it multiple times, it’s best to change clothes first.”
“Thank you for your reminder.”
Ethan did not ask David to provide him with clothes. He wanted to rush out to test what David said. Although it sounded incredible, the other party’s firm tone, plus this is indeed the simplest way to verify – even if he was deceived, it would not be a big deal. Maybe if he ran back and forth a few times foolishly, Jack and his gang would jump out and laugh at him.
Whether it was true or a prank, as long as he went out to test it, he would get a clear answer.
Watching Ethan leave in a hurry, David thought about it and called Eva directly: “If that Ethan comes back later, take him around and understand the basic situation!”
Eva can help introduce the basic situation of Winter City, and David does not need to keep staring at this elite agent.
After confirming the situation, what will Ethan choose? David did not know, and he had not thought about how he should “entertain” this elite agent.
For him, the greatest value of this agent is that he can recruit more “agents” or “intelligence personnel” from his world through Ethan to work for Winter City.
As for Ethan himself… he was not sure if he was willing to stay in Winter City permanently?
“What are Gwen and Sofia doing now?”
“They are both in the study now.”
“Yeah!”
After David told Eva, he did not go to find Gwen and Sofia, but went to the entrance of the dungeon to find Aidan.
During this period, because of the arrival of the delegation, David could not enter the dungeon frequently to kill monsters, and his original plan to quickly pass the normal difficulty was interrupted.
But Aidan got enough time without being disturbed.
During this period when everyone was busy dealing with the delegation, Aidan passed the normal difficulty in one go and unlocked the higher level of nightmare difficulty.
“How is it?”
“The difficulty of the dungeon is bound to the individual.”
After David adjusted the difficulty to nightmare, the door was locked and could not be opened at all.
Aidan could open the door easily, and the situation after opening it was no different from the normal difficulty.
“It seems that if Tirion wants to go to the Hell difficulty dungeon to spawn monsters, he can only do it once in both the Normal and Nightmare difficulties.”
Of course, after David and Aidan’s test, there is no other way. That is to let Aidan, who has the ability to enter the Nightmare difficulty, be responsible for opening the door, and then enter the same dungeon world with Aidan. In this way, even if the Normal difficulty is not cleared, you can enter the higher difficulty dungeon.
“Anyway, I don’t have anything to do, so I just stay here as a door opener, and it won’t have any impact.” Aidan touched his forehead gently while speaking: “Besides, I think this kind of thing is of great benefit to me.”
As he cleared the Normal difficulty, he could clearly feel that the soul stone on his forehead was being absorbed by him.
When the Nightmare and Hell difficulties are cleared, the soul stone will probably be completely absorbed by himself, and the power in it will become his own power.
At this time, even Aidan understood that the energy that maintains the existence of this dungeon world should come from the power of the Dread Lord Diablo in the soul stone.
This power was transformed by a special power that he could not understand, and became a special form of existence of the dungeon, which was absorbed by everyone who entered the dungeon without side effects.
In other words, everyone repeatedly killed monsters in the dungeon and absorbed energy, which in a sense was dealing with Diablo.
When Diablo’s energy was absorbed by everyone, the dread demon king might be completely destroyed, and his world would no longer be threatened by the demon king of hell.
Whenever he thought of this, he would burst out with tremendous motivation and enter the dungeon to repeatedly kill various demons in the dungeon world!
At the same time, he didn’t mind being a gatekeeper responsible for opening the door, because the more people entered the dungeon to kill monsters, it meant that the day of Diablo’s complete demise would come one day earlier!
“There is no need for you to stay here all the time, and it is not a big deal to pass the normal difficulty.” David also guessed that the source of the dungeon world to maintain the dungeon and the energy obtained by killing monsters was the world of Sanctuary.
But unlike Aidan’s guess, David felt that if it was just Diablo, it didn’t seem to be enough. Maybe the dungeon was connected to the hell plane of that world.
“And clearing the game once on normal difficulty will give everyone a clearer understanding of the various situations in the dungeon and help avoid possible accidents.”
He hopes to use the dungeon to train and improve everyone’s strength, and doesn’t want anyone to get into trouble in the dungeon… Speaking of which, will people die in the ‘game world’? That’s a question!
