Chapter 197 196. Need help?
I actually live in a "box"!
What’s even more outrageous is that this box was pieced together from various pieces!
Lin Jun thought that the so-called "boundary" he had detected before was some kind of solid magic barrier, but now he knows that it was actually a barrier to a small space.
Humans have even studied the illusion of space walls. The outside looks like ordinary soil, but it is actually just a layer of illusory projection. To put it simply and crudely, it is just a texture.
Most of these small spaces are suspended "outside the world". Without stairs connecting them, they would be completely closed independent cages.
Unfortunately, Inanna did not write down the specific meaning of "outside the world". I wonder if she couldn't find the relevant information.
It is worth mentioning that, unlike other completely separated independent layers, the sixth layer and the deep zone are physically connected.
It’s just that strong rules and restrictions are imposed on the rift zone connecting the two, forcibly demarcating it as a separate layer.
No wonder the collapse that started from the deep area would first affect the sixth layer.
As for the fact that the dungeon absorbs magic power from the outside, it explains why the concentration of magic power in the dungeon is higher than that in the outside world.
However, this made Lin Jun even more curious about the so-called "outside world".
Speaking of which, if Puji fell into the void and lost contact, could that mean he fell "outside"?
Are there other worlds out there?
Is my previous world also included in it?
I don’t know if I’ll have the chance to find the answer in the future.
But even if I find my original world, I probably won’t be able to go back... I’m already a mushroom that can’t survive without magic...

Surface.
The magic array experts led by Gu Ge rested for only one night before setting out on their journey back to the City of Oath.
Although the Sword Master did not travel with them, he left in a hurry.
Although this top-level warrior has no fixed territory or responsibilities, he cannot truly live a leisurely life in today's turbulent times.
He didn't know what kind of news he had received, so he went straight east.
Fifteen also left with them. The Sword Master said he wanted to take him to exercise his brain.
The atmosphere in the Adventurer's Guild was a little subtle.
"Miss Inanna, thank you very much for your help. If you need anything in the future, please let me know and I will do my best," Farr said sincerely.
Although Puji's problem was no longer important as the dungeon began to countdown to its collapse, the favor of the Duke's daughter coming in person to help was a real debt of gratitude.
Farr doesn't mind having more connections with the Duke's family, but...
"You're welcome. I'm only here at Adin's request." Inanna, holding the knight Puji in her arms, answered in a formulaic and distant manner, and it was obvious that she had no intention of talking more.
"Of course, it's also thanks to Mr. Aidin." Fal did not forget the thank you he promised. As soon as he came out of the dungeon, Aidin received a bag of gold coins and several rare materials suitable for making illusion props.
"By the way, Miss Inanna," Fal still wanted to maintain a good relationship with her, even though he seemed to be disliked, so he took the initiative to remind her, "It is said that the Pujis have collected a lot of treasures and hidden them away. Now that you control the King of Puji, you can go and look for them if you are interested."
"You...you are actually thinking about the treasure of the Pujis?!" Inanna's voice suddenly rose, and she subconsciously hugged the Puji in her arms tighter.
Huh?
Is it an illusion?
Fal only felt that the gaze from the opposite side seemed colder than before.
"No! It's definitely not me who's thinking about it!" Caught off guard, he stuttered, which was unusual for him. "I was just afraid that you didn't know about this, so... I warned you! I definitely don't intend to get involved!"
Inanna nodded after a long while and said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood. Thank you for letting me know."
Before leaving, Inanna touched the Puji in her arms and added, "By the way, it will be called Knight from now on!"
After Inanna left, Aydin followed suit.
After the two disappeared outside the door, Fal collapsed into the chair like a deflated bag, rubbing his brows: "Lillian, tell me...how did I offend this young lady?"
Lillian walked behind him and gently pressed her slender fingers on his temple. "A girl who was raised in seclusion has a mind that is hard to predict. Isn't it normal for her to be moody? Think about it, when you first got involved in guild affairs, didn't you also cause a lot of ridiculous mistakes?"
"Is...is there?" Fal's voice came out muffled from between his fingers.
After a short rest, Farr suddenly said, "Go and call Mirabelle."
…
"President Far, are you looking for me?" Mirabelle came over quickly.
"Mila Belle, the purchase price of all materials of the guild will be increased by 10% immediately."
"All the materials?" Mirabelle was obviously stunned and confirmed hesitantly.
"Yes, all of them." Farr's tone left no doubt.
"President," Mirabelle raised an objection cautiously with an embarrassed look on her face, "It's easy to sell mid- and high-level materials, but low-level basic materials like ordinary slime cores, cool flowers, and green scorpion tails rely on volume to maintain their profits, and the profits are slim. If you raise the price by another 10%, I'm afraid... there will be no profit."
Fal looked out the window, as if he could see through the building, at the dungeon that was heading for its end. "Not only should we increase this 10%, but we should also increase it by another 10% in a month. We must now inspire the enthusiasm of all adventurers. It will only take about three months for the collapse to affect the upper levels. Before that, try to collect as many resources as possible..."
…
…
…
"Miss, should we also start our journey back?"
Inanna was not alone on this trip; she was followed by three gold-level guards.
It was just that the Sword Master cleared the way along the way, so everything was calm and peaceful. The three of them had nothing to do the entire time, just keeping an eye on the air.
According to the original plan, it was time to set out on the journey home, but Inanna obviously had other plans.
"I..." Inanna's eyes rolled around, and she suddenly lifted Puji up high in her arms, "I still have to go look for Puji's treasure!"
Although it is annoying that President Fal covets the boss's things, this excuse is ready-made and easy to use!
The three guards looked at each other in bewilderment, thinking that the young lady was just being playful. What rare treasures were not in the Duke's mansion's storehouse? What kind of treasure could a group of monsters hide...
"But, Butler Eric has instructed..."
"Go back when you find the treasure!" Inanna interrupted firmly.
"Then we..."
"You are not allowed to follow!"
"This is absolutely not allowed! Your safety..."
"I have the protection of the knight!" Inanna patted Puji in her arms, then glanced around and grabbed Aidin who was about to return to the house, "And... and Aidin!"
"Ah? Me?"
Aidin subconsciously wanted to refuse. He was afraid of entering the dungeon!
But after seeing Puji in Inanna's arms, he hesitated again - could it be the boss's intention?
Finally, he could only change his words and say, "Oh, yes, I will accompany you..."
The guards insisted a few more times, but in the end they could not overcome their young lady's stubbornness.
After all... the three of them combined really couldn't beat the Puji in the lady's arms...
Finally finding an opportunity, Inanna excitedly led the sad-looking Aidin back to the dungeon.
They also rented three lighting devices very luxuriously. Inanna's side was the brightest in the entire dungeon.
Following the direction given by the boss, we arrived at the mushroom forest on the fifth floor.
While admiring the beauty of the mushroom forest, Inanna went into a mushroom house.
After a while, Aidin was surprised to see that what jumped out was not Inanna, but a...pink Puji!
The pink creature tilted its plump body and made the voice of a duke's daughter in the fungus net, and asked kindly, "Don't you know how to transform? Do you want me to help you transform into one?"
Aidin's pupils shrank slightly, and he rejected this depraved invitation: "No, thanks."
What the two of them didn't notice was that behind a mushroom tree in the distance, a large black mushroom had half of its cap poked out...
