Chapter 501 A Tenth-Tier Scroll? Shocking! Impossible Technology
boom--!
A vast, holy light once again emanated from the magic scroll, and pure divine power coalesced in mid-air into a vortex-shaped portal.
One by one, angelic monsters flew out of the vortex and attacked the "Dark Gap Alley" once again.
【Floating City】·Starry Sky Lookout.
"What!"
"Butler" Imralis exclaimed incredulously, "A magic scroll of the 10th rank!"
How is that possible!
Even with the technology of the [Floating City], it is not easy to create a 10th-tier scroll. After all, creating a scroll requires not only precious magical materials but also game gold.
Given the already scarce game coins.
The creation of magic scrolls is naturally done with utmost care, and Tang Zheng and the others had already surprised him by constantly taking out 7th-tier scrolls.
Now they've even brought out a 10th-tier magic scroll.
"Was it too extravagant to use them as sacrificial lambs for scouts before the invasion?"
Butler Imralis stared at the image on the magical screen, a sense of doubt rising within him: "If I remember correctly..."
"Casting the spell 'Final War (Good)' not only requires mana, but also a large amount of experience points. Creating such a magic scroll consumes even more than a normal 10th-tier spell."
"The mere cost of 'experience points' makes this spell not very practical in combat, since the only monsters that can be considered threatening are a few level 60 and 70 angels."
“The supreme god-kings once said that such magic is suitable to exist as a sacrifice.”
As this information flooded into the mind of "Butler" Imralis, his heart grew increasingly heavy.
Crafting scrolls requires in-game gold!
Does such extravagant behavior indicate that the true dragon king behind these invaders possesses a large amount of game gold coins?
"No, no."
The "butler," Imralis, frowned, a terrible thought surfacing in his mind:
"Could it be that besides the remnants of the Six Great Gods and the True Dragon King's forces, there are also forces controlled by third-party players?"
Creak!
Clench your fist.
A growing sense of anxiety and tension surfaced in my mind.
As for whether the magic scroll was created using methods from another world, the "butler" Imralis didn't even consider that possibility.
That's a 10th-tier magic scroll!
The inferior races of this world could not possibly create such a creature; even the barely decent True Dragon King Reptile is incapable of using rank-based magic.
The only possibility is player faction!
"message!"
"Butler" Imralis activated his magic, speaking respectfully and solemnly in his mind:
"Lord Leoric Zhen, there's new intelligence..."
[Floating City - Outer City] Dark Gap Alley
Bang!
"Aaaaaaah!"
"You mere inferior beings... you have crossed a line that should not exist... your fate will be plunged into eternal darkness!"
In the "Dark Gap Alley," the guardian named Pandora, with her emerald green hair woven into the shape of a snake, spread out like claws amidst the surging air currents.
"Your corpses will eventually enter the 'Dark Gap Alley' again... becoming part of this place's collection..."
Whoosh!
"So noisy." Zesshi Zesshi appeared before his opponent in a flash, his black blade of the cross-shaped scythe dancing with impenetrable speed.
"Turn into rubbish, you piece of trash."
Under Rinri's slashing attack, the green-haired Pandora was instantly cleaved into pieces of flesh by Zesshi Zesshimei.
"The 'Dark Gap Alley' has been breached!"
Tang turned around expressionlessly and walked outside.
The rough rock walls on both sides of the passageway are covered with pale green moss that emits a faint green glow. This moss is the only source of light in the entire "Dark Gap Alley".
The environment inside the cave is complex.
There were no clear signs, only skulls of different races embedded in the wall, indicating the directions.
There was a smell of sulfur and rust in the air, as well as a stench of corpses that seemed to permeate the entire area.
Tang Zheng didn't know if this was an illusion effect, but he was certain of one thing: countless corpses had existed in the "Dark Gap Alley" in the past.
Wow!
The dim environment suddenly brightened, and the three of them walked out of the "dark alley".
"The third area building."
Tang Zheng looked up at the sky, his eyes flickering slightly as the thick fog still obscured his view.
"The guardians deep within the [Floating City] should already know about the 10th-tier magic scroll. I wonder what their speculations will be?"
"hehe."
His mastery of magic scroll crafting is completely different from the scroll crafting techniques in the game "YGGDRASIL".
You could even call it an alternate world system!
The crafting of items such as magic scrolls, potions, equipment, and staves in "YGGDRASIL" requires in-game currency.
Ainz Ooal Gown should have realized this as well, or it was a subconscious "collecting" idea that fits Dihua's speculation.
Whether it's conquering Enphirea, runes, establishing the Holy Kingdom Ranch, or collecting technology from other worlds, it's all about gradually breaking free from dependence on in-game currency.
The world-class item, the Nameless Spellbook, can record all magic in the world, including newly developed magic.
Tang Zheng's mastery of the 10th-tier "papermaking technique" should have already been automatically recorded.
……but!
Recording is one thing; whether it can actually be used is another.
You can't make a magic scroll with just papermaking skills!
"Papermaking" is similar to the 7th rank "Higher Item Creation" in that it is simply a magic that creates materials.
I want to create scrolls like Tang Zheng.
The minimum requirement is a level 64 magic-based class, or a level 10 Warrior, level 10 Swordsman, or level 5 Spellsword.
The key is the [Magic Swordsman]'s passive skill "Magic Infusion", which is already level 89, but that alone is not enough.
It also requires the class buffs of Alchemist and Scroll Maker, as well as the scroll-making techniques unique to this other world!
Only by fulfilling all these requirements can the magic scroll in Tang Zheng's hand be made...
Obviously.
Players wouldn't create such a chaotic class system, and people from another world don't have such high levels.
Especially this technical intelligence!
It was something Tang Zheng figured out on his own, and no one knew about it, which indirectly led to the fact that no one could master the "papermaking" scroll production technique.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Tang Zheng and his two companions continued their journey through the maze filled with low-level undead.
Because the sky was obscured by thick fog, it was impossible to distinguish between day and night, but each of them carried a pocket watch that could tell the time.
This search will take even longer!
It took nearly an hour and a half, but the speed of the breakthrough was also the fastest.
One of the twelve area buildings, the "Floating Pier".
There was no need for Tang Zheng and his group to break in.
A woman dressed in a mature, sophisticated style stood at the entrance of the area. She was wearing a beret and workwear-like clothing.
My name is Marble!
"It is a name bestowed by the Supreme God-King!"
The beret-wearing marble-clad figure, with his swan-like neck held high, gazed disdainfully at Tang Zheng and his two companions who had appeared before him, his cold, human-shaped face bearing an air of contempt.
"In the long span of 500 years, you are but a speck of dust in time, not even worthy of being remembered by this great land."
“Every brick and stone here will become your prison, every crack and crevice…”
The condescending tone conveyed a certain unwavering belief in the outcome.
"These guys are all weaklings!"
A twisted, cruel sneer appeared on Zesshi Zetsumei's face. He raised his weapon, cautiously sizing up his opponent as he prepared to charge forward.
"Did you deliberately step forward? Is there some kind of trap? Marble, what an awful name!"
The guardian in charge of "Dark Gap Alley" kept playing hide-and-seek with them, causing them to waste a lot of time.
Tang Zhengke had no interest in listening any further. He pointed his palm forward and chanted softly, "Chain Dragon Thunder."
Boom!
A surge of blue lightning, shaped like a dragon, tore through the air and instantly enveloped the self-proclaimed guardian of marble.
There was no resistance as expected, and even an unexpected situation arose!
The guardian in charge was reduced to charred remains by the chain of dragon lightning attacks and scattered by the wind.
Seeing this scene.
The captain's cautious emotions, both for death and death, froze instantly, replaced by an indescribable sense of absurdity.
"This...this..."
The god-like captain opened his mouth.
"The 'Floating Dock' has been breached." Tang Zheng withdrew his gaze, his expression calm, seemingly unsurprised by the outcome.
"The 'Floating Dock' is the only area among the twelve outer city districts that can be controlled by the 'Starry Watchtower' in the core area."
Tang Zheng calmly explained to Jue Si and Jue Ming their doubts:
"The fact that we weren't stopped before entering the 'Aurora City Gate' is enough to show that there's a disagreement within the 'Floating City' regarding their strategy for dealing with us."
"The 'floating dock' has slipped out of the control of its owner, who naturally couldn't resist and thus took the initiative to step forward."
Upon hearing this...
Only then did a look of realization appear on the faces of the two men, Jue Si and Jue Ming.
"So what are the capabilities of this region?"
Captain Shenren breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked in confusion.
Although they also knew some intelligence, only Tang Zhengcai possessed the more detailed information.
This is also a form of insurance!
"The 'Floating Dock' can launch magical elemental projectiles with an extremely wide range, covering 'Cloud Crystal Plaza,' 'Rainbow Bridge,' 'Aurora Gate,' and the 'Outer City.'"
Tang Zheng shrugged, turned and continued walking into the maze, calmly speaking:
"Therefore, the moment we are not attacked during the intrusion process indicates that the area has already been controlled by the other side."
at the same time!
Intelligence that four areas had been quickly breached by invaders began to circulate among the leaders of other areas.
The Auction House, one of the twelve district buildings.
It appears to be a converted auditorium, with stained glass windows everywhere beneath the soaring dome, and white candle-shaped magic candlesticks illuminating the entire area.
Rows of pale wooden chairs stretched out, with only a black auction table at the center, which was the heart of the entire area.
Tower~
Tower~
A girl who looked to be about seven or eight years old sat on the auction stage, wearing a pale white dress and with her legs dangling.
The slight tapping of his heel against the auction table created a crisp sound, adding an eerie touch to the otherwise desolate environment.
"Auction resonance!"
The girl spoke in a low voice, using the "auction house" ability to connect with the managers of several other areas, and coldly reported:
"Sister Marble is dead, and the 'Auction House' has been breached by intruders."
"What!"
"These despicable invaders are incredibly fast!"
"…………!"
"Damn it, they could have... Lord Gros Hornfury is missing, but Lord Imralis, the 'Butler,' hasn't done anything!"
The chattering and clamoring sounds converged in the spiritual world.
The girl remained silent.
The fact that the "Floating Dock" was breached so quickly is clearly due to the "Starry Sky Watchtower" and that's why this situation has arisen.
In reality, it was the guardian, Lord Leoric Zhen.
only.
No one dared to direct their complaints at the Guardian, Lord Leoric Zhen.
"Okay, stop arguing!"
A dignified female voice rang out, "Star Oracle! Can you pinpoint the intruder's location?"
"The Veil of Oblivion"
As an "auction house," it can monitor uninvited intruders.
The girl sitting on the auction platform paused, then raised her palm and pressed it into the air, and a simplified "map" of the outer city appeared in mid-air.
The maze-like map was covered with countless red dots.
The girl's eyes scanned the map and she quickly noticed that three red dots were moving much faster than the others.
“Found it!” the girl replied. “It’s approaching the ‘Eternal Celebration Venue’.”
"Is this my territory? I'm going to kill them!" a passionate female voice rang out.
"Enough!"
"The other party is no ordinary intruder. Although its level is similar to that of a mercenary monster, it is actually much stronger."
"Damn it... If the 'Starry Watchtower' had assisted us, we wouldn't be in such a passive position."
The murmurs of conversation fell silent for a moment.
Their current actions are clearly a defiance of Lord Leoric Zhen's orders.
"All for Lord Gros Hornfury!"
The authoritative female voice rang out, "I will take responsibility for any consequences!"
"Sister Silver Olive!"
"Silver olive!"
"Silver olive..."
"..."
“I’m just as angry as you are, but we can’t let the invaders slip through any more time. Asura, it’s your turn to report their location.”
"Guardians of the 'Howling Abyss' and 'Boiled Nurturing Garden,' control the monsters under your jurisdiction and reduce the elimination of low-ranking undead."
"I will guide them into the 'Hall of Mercenaries,' where we will wipe out these lowly invaders in one fell swoop."
"clear!"
This side.
Tang Zheng quickly realized through "vibration perception" that the number of low-level undead was not as severely depleted as it had been initially.
Moreover, there were four locations in the maze that clearly responded with violent tremors, and among these four locations, there was one location where the tremors were very weak.
Have you changed your response plan?
Tang Zheng sensed this change and a slight smile appeared on his lips: "Using a plan against a plan is a strategy."
The other party deliberately led a route that was clearly a trap, but for Tang Zheng, it was also the fastest opportunity to find a building in the area.
