Chapter 322: Cold Valley and Warm Grass Fruit

Chapter 322: Cold Valley and Warm Grass Fruit

The next day, early morning.

Leon felt the urge to urinate, and he got up from the bed in a daze. He was about to go downstairs to the public bathroom of the hotel to relieve himself, but he ran into a familiar person.

"Fingry?" His eyes were still a little blurry, but he could still make out what was going on.

"Leon, what a coincidence, you live here too." Fingerly greeted with a smile. He looked very kind, but there was fatigue in his eyes.

"Are you going to the dungeon?" Leon saw that the other party was fully armed and was about to go out.

"Yes, it's getting late. If we go late, we'll have to queue again. That's right."

Fingri suddenly remembered something and took something out of his pocket. "I was planning to look for you, and it's a good opportunity to meet you here."

"What is this?" Leon rubbed his eyes and carefully looked at the pieces of paper that Fingri handed to him. There were crooked handwritings on them, which seemed to be about...a strategy for the Deep Church?

The content looks a bit rough, as if it was written overnight. The regulations are not very clear, and it is just written whatever comes to mind.

"You wrote it?" He looked up in surprise.

Fingri puffed up his chest proudly. "To be honest, I already fought with the leader of the Deep Church yesterday. Although I lost to them, I will definitely win today!"

He went on to say:

"I've read a lot of guides produced by your guide team before, so I'm grateful to you. I want to help you this time too. You're welcome. Just rely on my experience to challenge the dungeon!"

Fingerly left with a loud laugh, looking very high-spirited. He walked quite fast, as if he was afraid that Leon would refuse his kindness.

"ah"

Leon looked at his back, hesitant to speak.

At this point, they could no longer talk about the fact that they defeated the group of Youshen bishops yesterday.

"It's better not to say it, it's too embarrassing."

I hope Fingri won't know through other channels that it was Leon who first killed the group of Deep Bishops.

When a beam of sunlight shone through the window onto Leon, he was suddenly startled and shouted:

"Oh no, it's already morning!"

He quickly woke up Malu and others, ran out of the royal city at daybreak, and rushed towards the portal of the Sen underground city on the grass covered with morning dew.

Generally speaking, people in the royal city are still sleeping at this time, and only a small number of people get up early in the morning to work.

But since the Sen Dungeon moved here, not only the Royal City, but also the surrounding Garden City’s schedule has changed - to adapt to the changes in the adventurers’ schedule.

There was a light mist in the air, and the figures of Leon and others passed through the mist. Behind him, figures of all shapes and sizes were looming in the mist, and their number exceeded a hundred at least.

These are adventurers!

They get up early in the morning and go to the dungeon. They should be considered very hardworking, right?

No, actually this group of people can be called lazy ghosts, because the Sen Dungeon closes at midnight and opens at three in the morning. The truly hardworking people will not go to the royal city, but just set up a tent near the portal and take a nap!

"Oh no, boss, why did we oversleep!" Malu squatted on Tel's shoulder, and the two looked like a giant zombie and a little ghost zombie.

The strategy group is currently running wildly. Inspired by them, the adventurers behind them also started running. Although they didn't know why they were running, if everyone was running, they might as well run along and join the group.

"I don't know why I fell asleep!" Leon simply put the short and stout Drew under his arm, and he and Tel strode forward.

Mingming has thought about being the first person to enter Irithyll. He even has the photo stone ready. He must take a photo the moment he enters. This time he must be vain!

But it’s already now, what if someone else got the doll and went in before them?

Don’t do that kind of thing!

They could only run as fast as they could, but when they reached the portal, the place was already crowded with people, all queuing up in an orderly manner.

There was despair in Leon's eyes. He kicked a stone and stumbled to the ground, rolling twice until he bumped into someone else.

"Hiss, I'm sorry." He covered his head and stood up while apologizing to the person he bumped into, but when he opened his eyes, he found that everyone was looking at him.

"?"

I know it's embarrassing to fall flat and roll a few times, but why are you looking at me like that? Haven't you ever fallen flat?

"Are you Leon?" someone asked.

"Yes," Leon hesitated, because people's eyes were a little strange. "What's wrong?"

“It’s really him.”

“I actually met him in person.”

"You are young and promising. You are really young and promising."

???

A lot of question marks appeared in Leon's mind. Seeing this, people silently made way for Leon to walk to the front of the portal.

As he walked over, he finally understood why people were looking at him.

Suddenly, a stone tablet appeared next to the portal.

[Deep Church——Deep Bishops——Leon, Malu, Drew, Tel]

[Kasas Underground Cemetery - Overlord Vonir - Leon.]

[Rhea Lukalia School of Magic - The Full Moon Queen's Imitation Teardrop - Stellan]

He didn't understand it at first, until he saw the leader's name connected with his own name, then he suddenly realized it.

This is the first pass list of the boss!

"Wow, boss, we're going to be famous again." Malu's eyes lit up.

Originally, people would carve the name of the first person to clear the dungeon on a stone tablet, but as Sean grew larger and larger, the final boss of each area was killed by different people, and people had no way of judging who could be counted as the first to clear it, so this ritualistic event eventually came to nothing.

But now, a stone tablet recording the name of the first person to defeat the boss has appeared in the Sean Dungeon!

Leon's pleasure reached its peak at this moment. Feeling the admiration and gazes of the people around him, his waist was straighter than ever before.

From now on, everyone who enters the dungeon will see such a stone tablet and will see my name on it!

Is this what I mean by being recorded in history?

Hahaha!

Leon felt that it would be understandable for him to act a little exaggerated at this time, but he suddenly thought of Fingerly.

Oh no, this is going to be embarrassing.

He looked around but didn't see Fingri. Maybe he had already gone in? That meant he must have seen the stone tablet.

This time, even Leon felt embarrassed for the other party. He would be embarrassed to see Fingerly again, and the other party would probably be embarrassed to see him too.

Life is full of embarrassment everywhere.

Out of respect, the adventurers invited Leon and his companions to enter the dungeon first. This was a feeling of being treated with respect.

"Boss, if you were a canine beastman, your tail would have been broken by now." Malu took on the job of making comments.

"Hmm~"

"Oh, please don't use that tone, it's disgusting!"

Drew and Tel looked at each other, smiled and shrugged.

Irithyll in the Frost Valley belongs to the Eagle City Dungeon, so in theory the number of challengers there should be more than in the Thane Dungeon area, but it is limited to those who enter through the Royal City portal.

If one wants to rely on the advantage of numbers to explore other areas of the Senn dungeon, then one will also face the problem of increased difficulty. Gong Qiying did not impose too many other restrictions.

Leon and his friends didn't waste any time and went straight to the Firelink Shrine, then teleported from the turkey farm to the bonfire after defeating Overlord Wolnir.

The scenery of Irithyll appeared before their eyes again. This time it was no longer an unreachable castle in the air. They were truly qualified to enter!

Turning around, I looked back at Overlord Wolnir's boss battle room, which was blocked by a layer of foggy door. Going in meant challenging the Overlord all over again.

"Eat first."

Leon took out some grilled red fruits from his backpack and shared them with everyone. After people ate them, their bodies, which had been shivering due to the severe cold, actually calmed down.

【Warm Grass Fruit】

[If you eat the Nuan Nuan Grass fruit raw, you will feel hot. If you make it into a dish, you will feel warm after eating it, which can resist the cold.]

This ingredient comes from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Leon simply made the warm grass fruit into skewers, which could temporarily resist the coldness of Irithyll after eating.

This method was developed by popular adventurers. In view of the severe cold in Irithyll, people have been looking for solutions for future explorations.

There are currently two methods that are most universal. One is the warm grass fruit from the food area, and the other is the hot drink sold by the blacksmith Felyn from the forest area. Both have the effect of warming up the body and resisting the cold.

The blacksmith Elu Cat in the forest area started selling groceries half a month ago, such as small items like ghost medicine and paralysis traps. Hot drinks are probably the most valuable things people have found so far.

There are relatively few warm grass fruits and hot drinks on the market, and Leon was not able to prepare enough, so he also brought some torches and the like.

"Get ready to run!"

The moment they stepped onto the bridge leading to Irithyll, everyone ran as fast as they could, refusing to look back. If they did, a large monster, either a crocodile or a dog, would appear.

They were too lazy to get entangled with that guy, so they might as well just rush in at once!

When he was only a few steps away from Irithyll, the shield of rejection appeared, and Leon raised the little doll towards the shield!

A strange sound effect sounded, and people's eyes blurred. When their vision became clear again, they found that they had entered Irithyll.

The Crocodile King howled wildly on the bridge, staring at everyone with unfriendly eyes, but it could not pass through the shield and could only rage helplessly.

"Lulu!" Malu made faces at it, so arrogant.

Leon looked at the full appearance of Irithyll that truly appeared before his eyes, and for a moment he felt a little emotional.

This is a real city, majestic and magnificent, full of history and life. Standing here, you can seem to imagine how the residents here lived in the past.

The place they were currently in seemed to be a small square. Just by standing here, he could see two roads going in completely opposite directions.

On the left are stairs leading upwards, and on the right are stairs extending into the gap between the houses. It is unknown where they lead to in the end.

As for the destination of exploration, he had already made it before coming in - of course, the cathedral in the center of Irithyll.

He has extensive experience in exploring the Thane dungeon. The church looks very impressive and must be hiding a leader or an elite.

"Go left and go up to find the church."

There was heavy snow in the Lengli Valley, and all you could see was a cold tone. This tone brought with it a sad atmosphere, and there seemed to be low-pitched music echoing in the air.

This kind of heavy snow affects vision. Leon put on goggles and was finally able to open his eyes.

"not good!"

The moment he saw what was in front of him clearly, Leon suddenly shouted, jumped back and drew his weapon.

"Enemy attack!"

From the high steps, a "crowd" of people, whose figures turned into illusory light blue shadows, were walking towards them step by step.

The proportions of their limbs are completely different from those of humans, and perhaps they can be called deformed, but no one dares to underestimate them when they are fully armed.

What made Leon most nervous was that there were dozens of phantoms!

Such a warm welcome right from the start!? My heart can’t handle it!

The crocodile king on the bridge was calling happily, as if asking people to run towards it, and there was a hint of sarcasm in its voice.

The path on the right was silent, but there seemed to be a faint black mist floating in the air. Pairs of eyes floating in the air were staring at everyone, waiting for them to run over here.

Unless you run in the opposite direction, you will have to fight the phantom.

But Leon only thought for a moment, and finally, he chose to attack the phantom together with his companions!

A real man wouldn't run away!

Maximize your strength, use all your body's power to strike, and slash quickly!

He rushed forward, and then—

“Boom!”

He hit the steps hard and his neck broke with a crisp sound.

"Ah?" The rest of the people stopped moving. What did they just see? Did Leon pass through the monsters in front of them?

The monsters didn't react to the people at all, just walked forward on their own, as if they were on a parade.

Malu tentatively poked the shadow, and the whole person passed through it directly. Now it was certain.

These monsters are fake!

It's not that they look like phantoms, but they are phantoms, created to scare adventurers!

"Well, I think I can save it."

Leon, with a broken neck, lay on the ground in a strange posture, calling for help in exhaustion.
