Lake Region's Frontline Intelligence
Under the watchful eyes of her fellow elves, Si Telan "voluntarily" began to recount her experiences in the Zane Dungeon.
For example, he teamed up with his companions to defeat the Crucible Knight, became a righteous Sun Warrior, and punished invaders while helping weaker adventurers.
Of course, they only talk about the good things. Who would publicly recount their past suffering?
In this description, she herself becomes a tenacious Warrior who grows up amidst setbacks and hardships—such a noble and righteous image that she could be nominated for this year's "Touching Bede" Top Ten People.
Anyone who hears this would feel the same way, but only if they haven't read the letter Si Telan wrote, a letter that was so incredibly pitiful, designed to lure people over.
Just like Ultraman Ace said that super beasts don't feel pain, if you were a super beast, you would just think that person is talking nonsense.
After reading the letter, everyone looked at Si Telan, who was trying her best to only talk about the good aspects and never mention her suffering, and their eyes were filled with pity.
The poor child is struggling to save face.
Even Li Zinei covered her mouth at this moment, unable to bear to expose Si Telan's "lie".
What's wrong with your eyes? What's wrong with your expressions? Don't look at me like that!
Si Telan became increasingly powerless as she spoke; although what she was saying was true, it all seemed to have taken on a different nature in the atmosphere.
"That's enough, Si Telan," Wei En Ma said, looking at her with the same pitiful gaze. "If you want, come home with me, and you won't have to fight anymore."
No, I want to fight!
Si Telan felt a bellyful of anger that she couldn't vent; she felt so frustrated that she would need to fight ten invaders to relieve it!
However, her expression was interpreted as disappointment, so Wei En Ma, as an elder of the Elf Race, would inevitably show her protectiveness.
After gently comforting Si Telan, she immediately decided—
Once Si Telan has rested, the entire team will enter the Zane Dungeon to settle scores with her! We'll make sure she gets all the justice she suffered!
Let's also dig into Sion's magic (whispering)
After reading the manuscript Luo Jieer brought back and learning about the events in the Zane Dungeon from Sid —that is, completing the storyline— Wei En Ma also became interested in the place.
She wanted to see what kind of pages could instantly teach magic to an idiot.
Furthermore, since Professor Seth and the others are also here, she'll have to see what their purpose is and perhaps cause them some trouble.
After all, her departure from the Magic Association was inextricably linked to these people.
After receiving permission, Si Telan ran home as if fleeing, and the others left one after another.
"Mei Erjia, aren't you leaving yet?" Wei En Ma looked at Butterfly, who had just sobered up from her drunken stupor. Or rather, Mei Erjia.
"Is it over already?" Mei Erjia yawned slowly, scratched his stomach, and said, "Perfect. I've also found out why those professors came here. Nothing new."
Wei En Ma nodded, signaling her to continue, but suddenly noticed a small figure hiding behind a pillar.
"Li Zinei," Elf Auntie said helplessly, "If you want to hear it, just come out openly."
"You're smart to know what's good for you."
As soon as Li Zinei finished speaking, a large number of vines suddenly sprouted from under her feet and bound her tightly, squeezing out a bit of her beauty from her steel-plate-like figure.
Her face immediately turned bright red, and it looked like she was about to suffocate.
"You should really put on a silent mask," Mei Erjia said with a gloating expression.
"But we can't blame you for that. After all, you were cursed by the 'Poison Tongue Evil God,' and what we heard was completely different from what you originally wanted to say."
"I think she's really enjoying it."
With a dark expression, Wei En Ma ultimately let Li Zinei go.
Just as Mei Erjia said, the senseless elf in front of him was kidnapped by cultists when he was a child and almost became a sacrifice in a ritual.
Although she was saved at the last minute, she was also cursed by the evil god. Her words could be misinterpreted by the listener and turned into some harsh lines.
So she lost her friends and eventually lost all expression. Before her speech deteriorated, she was fortunate enough to meet Si Telan.
This child has a carefree yet competitive spirit; ordinary harsh words cannot hurt her, but instead will arouse her fighting spirit to fight back.
So Li Zinei often went to "chat" with him, which was one of the few times she could relax.
"By the way, are you still depositing money into the Forest Bank's Green Card every month?" Mei Erjia looked at Li Zinei and said with a raised tone, "Si Telan has never used the card you gave her, so she probably doesn't know about these things. You should keep those royalties for yourself."
Li Zinei rolled her eyes at her.
"Mind your own business. If you're a failed older sister who can't get along with your younger sister, don't let your jealousy get in the way of our relationship."
"What feelings do you have for her?!"
Wei En Ma's smile twitched as she watched the two arguing below.
Calm down. This is someone she trained herself; no matter what, she shouldn't look down on them.
Besides, these guys are already the most decent among the elves; the rest are even worse.
She covered her eyes, her skirt twitched, and she felt that the Elf Race were doomed sooner or later.
Si Telan took a three-day break, which shows that she was really tired.
If it were just physical fatigue, she would have recovered after a day of rest, but now she is more mentally exhausted and doesn't even want to go out.
Although she didn't go out, she still used her own methods to gather information about the outside world. What she cared about most was information about the Magic Classroom and the lake district, so as to make the best possible arrangements for the rest of the journey.
"Bang! Bang!"
The window was knocked on, and she took down the scaled-down Ma Lei Da statue from the windowsill—which she had specially commissioned—and opened the window to see a White Eagle standing outside.
"Thank you for your hard work." She took a small bundle from the White Eagle, fed it a few pieces of dried meat, and only opened the bundle and checked its contents after the Messengers left.
Papers with different handwriting, a variety of materials, and even a few Image Stone.
This was sent by her companion Dan Ya, and was firsthand information obtained with the help of the Shadow Brotherhood, who love to create sensational news. This information basically represents the latest progress in the current Zane Dungeon raid.
After observing for a while, she gained a general understanding of the current situation.
A little over a week has passed since Lu Lu Wo and the others released information about Lake Liurnia and other places.
During this period, the most advanced adventurers have obtained Transfer Certificate, enabling them to skillfully enter and exit the Classroom Area and explore the lake region.
The adoption rate of Transfer Certificate among mid-level adventurers is steadily increasing, and some ordinary people are also starting to hold them.
I'm afraid that within a month, or at most two months, the adoption rate of Transfer Certificate will reach a very high level, enough to allow almost everyone to skip the fake Classroom Area.
Does that mean this area is essentially useless? No problem, the Black Hand behind it will intervene. At worst, we can just use this area to reclaim it.
Although the acquisition rate of Transfer Certificate has increased, only a small number of people can actually be teleported to Lake Liurnia through the seal, because they cannot defeat the gatekeepers.
Leaving Mugram, the Caria Knight are a hurdle for many.
During this time, Lu Lu Wo figured out the Weapon Skill and magic that the Caria Knight would use, and had a certain understanding of their action patterns. If you can get the strategy guide she made and memorize it, you can reduce the difficulty of the Caria Knight challenge to the D+ level.
Two types of Caria Knight will appear randomly: one that looks similar to Mugram and the other that is Ogre Knight. The two are roughly equal in strength, but adventurers are clearly better at challenging the larger and relatively slower Ogre Knight.
So a Black Hand slightly reduced the appearance rate of the Ogre Knight.
This is where the problem arises. Wasn't the selling point of the Val Dungeon from the beginning that it was a life-sustaining dungeon and that anyone with normal intelligence could learn magic? Why are you stopping people from entering?
If you can't beat them, you can just run to the portal in Val City and go straight in; no one will stop you.
Moreover, it's not just the Classroom Area that Sorting Hat; there's also a simplified version in the lake area. Although there are fewer mentors to choose from and the number is fixed, the advantage is that you don't need to challenge the Caria Knight. This is the one that's most suitable for the general public, but it just hasn't been discovered yet.
During this time, the first group of people who chose to flee arrived at the ruins of Val City and successfully entered Lake Liurnia through the portal.
Ever since Jia Paer and his group lit the campfire, those who enter the Val Dungeon for the first time are teleported to the area near the Academy Gate Town. Anyone who isn't blind can see the smoke rising from the campfire.
Head towards the campfire, defeat a few weak monsters, and you'll reach the safe zone— Academy Gate Town. Once you've entered here, you'll be teleported here directly the next time you pass through the portal.
"Have the types of monsters been compiled as well?" Si Telan flipped through the information. The first thing that appeared in front of her was the lobster family: small/medium/large/different colored/dominant lobster.
"In the end, isn't it still just a lobster?"
This is probably what material reuse is, but the people of this other world don't know this term. According to the understanding of the people in this world, the appearance of the lobster family means that the Zane Dungeon has finally seen the emergence of "systematic" monsters, and finally has more similarities with other dungeons.
Can this be considered a system?
Whether it was just her imagination or not, after reading the information about monsters, Si Telan felt that something was off.
After careful consideration, she realized that there was relatively little information about sightings of Great Lobster that could use long-range Water Cannon. Not only Great Lobster, but also giant crabs, giant octopuses, Wraith with many arms, and other monsters that had given her and Leon a good beating were less common in these reports. The adventurers had encountered relatively easy enemies.
What's going on?
It can't be that adventurers rarely encounter these monsters, but when Si Telan were exploring the lake region, they encountered these filthy things everywhere.
Has the composition of monsters in the Lake District changed during her rest period? It seems like the danger level has been reduced.
There isn't much map information available. The lake area is vast, but there are very few adventurers currently in it, and much remains undiscovered.
"I've never received anything like this before, what's inside this Image Stone?"
Si Telan poured magic into the Image Stone, and a square image projection immediately appeared in the air.
It was broad daylight, and the abundant sunlight made the image look somewhat distorted, so she drew the curtains tightly shut and opened them again for the photo.
"Have you started recording?"
Lu Lu Wo's beautiful face was shown in a close-up shot from a deathly angle.
"It's already started? I haven't thought of my lines yet, cough cough, um, hello everyone who bought the photo opportunity, welcome to the Skyrim Strategy Team. Hey, what's that word again?"
"Live broadcast." Bei Er Tuo's voice came from off-screen.
"Yes, welcome to our live adventure!"
"Taking photos directly is much easier than writing a travel guide (whispering)."
