Anor Londo Has Gone Dark
It was so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, and there were no stars to be seen when you looked up.
This is definitely not a simple matter of the sun setting and night falling; it is the product of some great force.
Anor Londo, once a majestic and magnificent city bathed in twilight, is now a cold and desolate dead city in the darkness.
Faced with the wonders of the changing world that are beyond human capability, the adventurer felt a deep sense of powerlessness, and the dissolution of the Dark Moon Blade oath was also hard for her to accept.
She hadn't even received all the rewards from the Dark Moon Blade before her oath was broken!?
Can I rejoin later?
Damn it!
Entering that Fog Gate signifies disrespect for Gwyndolin and the gods, and the oath it created will naturally expel the adventurer.
You have been kicked out of the group chat.
From this perspective, it seems that adventurers entering the Fog Gate is a purely negative thing, with absolutely no benefits.
Something seems off. In the Great Tomb area, even adventurers who chose to kill the Warrior Pot or slaughter the Pot Village were able to enter different story branches. Will adventurers who choose to enter the Gwyndolin Fog Gate also encounter some kind of branching plot?
At least the adventurer hasn't encountered it yet. If she had previously held respect for Gwyndolin, the god, then after being expelled from the oath, that respect seamlessly turned into anger.
She was entangled in a fight with the Brass Woman, or rather, she was being chased and beaten.
It seems that guarding the campfire for a long time has some effect on the Brass Woman's body. The reason she wears brass armor is to cover up the fact that her appearance has been completely changed due to guarding the fire for so long.
The armor was a bit too heavy for her, making even dodging feel cumbersome, but the stats made up for it.
"Why doesn't hitting her have any effect?!"
The adventurer's attacks were insignificant to the Brass Woman; a casual sword strike from her was enough to make the adventurer feel the threat of death.
Fortunately, the adventurer was faster than the Brass Woman.
Unfortunately, the Brass Woman, being the Dark Moon Blade, will keep chasing her relentlessly.
In the endless darkness, adventurers will suffer the torment of relentless pursuit.
"The first person to dare to enter the Fog Gate has also appeared."
The city lord's room.
Gong Qiying stared at the various images appearing on the Crystal Ball and said:
"The first group of adventurers to enter Anor Londo has already appeared. Well, it will take several days to see the specific effects and reactions."
After all, the Painting World is A World You Can't Leave Without Victory. If you can't defeat the final Dragonslayer Ornstein and the executioner Smough, you can't complete the game and leave the Painting World. You can only wait until your Spirit Power is gradually exhausted and you are finally kicked out.
Generally, this process Guild Master six or seven days. After the adventurer is drained and kicked out, he will need to rest in bed for at least a week. When Da Er Oolacile, he lay in bed for about that long.
But that was in the past. In the past, the number of Painting World was scarce, and whether you could obtain one depended entirely on fate.
Now that the number of people in the Painting World of Anor Londo has increased, the number of adventurers entering has also increased significantly. Being able to squeeze so many adventurers out of the market at once might seem like a good thing, but it's still not as good as sustainable development.
"Let's lower some of the pressing standards."
Gong Qiying's approach to managing permissions has changed. Previously, he would extract 90% of an adventurer's Spirit Power and kick them out when only 10% remained. Now, he extracts 70%, shortening the adventurer's recovery time.
Among the many images that appeared in the Crystal Ball, Elsa's image was placed in the center and enlarged, showing the attention given to her.
After all, this child was the first to think of asking Solaire for training, and when Gong Qiying was designing the plan, he really didn't expect the adventurer to do such a thing.
He was looking forward to seeing what level Elsa would reach when she graduated, but he didn't try to influence her or cause any trouble. He let everything take its natural course.
"Let Anor Londo ferment for a while, and then we can lower the value of Sulyvahn's illusion, guiding adventurers to discover Anor Londo in Dark Souls 3."
Gong Qiying licked his lips like a twisted villain, already eager to see the adventurers' expressions when they discovered the God Eater.
He had laid the groundwork for a long time in order to reap this wave of Spirit Power.
We can't rush things now, we need to take it slow.
Bede City, Adventurers' Guild.
Goodbye.
Guild Master Sid saw off a group of angry "guests," his face still bearing an indignant expression as if they were united against a common enemy.
However, now, standing by the window watching the group leave the guild, his expression changed to a smile, and if you looked closely, there was a hint of mockery on the corner of his mouth.
"Those people from the Leyndell weren't very nice, Guild Master Sid." Secretary Gina pushed up her glasses, opened a hidden compartment in the table, took out a recording stone, and carefully checked it. "It's all recorded."
"Keep it, just in case."
Sid rubbed his eyes, watching the people from the Leyndell Adventurers' Guild headquarters board the carriage and leave, and couldn't help but think about the recent events.
The group from the Leyndell Adventurers' Guild came to protest and exert pressure.
As for the reason
"It's still Saine."
There are many hierarchical relationships in the world. For example, the rich look down on the poor, the healthy look down on the disabled, and the living look down on the dead. Adventurers in big cities look down on adventurers in small towns.
Originally, the adventurers in the Leyndell had a great sense of superiority. After experiencing more of the exciting world, they began to look down on the adventurers in remote towns, such as Bede City.
However, the emergence and expansion of the Zane Dungeon changed this situation. What shocked the adventurers in the Leyndell the most was that the nobles took the lead in welcoming all kinds of goods from Sien. While they were still looking down on the country goods, the people above took the lead in "betraying" them.
The adventurers in the Leyndell had no choice but to quickly change their views on Sein and also went to explore the dungeons, hoping to bring back various rare items to exchange for rewards from the nobles.
However, they were completely unfamiliar with Sion and knew nothing about the various traps and mechanisms.
At this point, any adventurer randomly picked from Bede City might know more about Sen than they do.
Thus, the hierarchy of contempt was reversed.
The adventurers of Bede City began to look down on the adventurers of the Leyndell.
Eventually, a small group of adventurers from both cities formed their own cliques, leading to frequent friction between them. Not long ago, a conflict even broke out in the Leyndell, escalating into a large-scale street brawl, resulting in the destruction of public toilets on several streets.
So the Adventurers' Guild from the Leyndell came over and sternly demanded that Sid control the adventurers of Bede City. They warned that if the adventurers of Bede City provoked the Leyndell, they would...
In the end, unable to figure out what they could do, he left angrily, saying, "Adventurers from Bede City may be banned from entering the Leyndell in the future."
Sid's response to this vague and unfounded threat was:
"Hehe."
He raised his middle finger at the departing figures of those people.
"Who cares about your pride? Of course I'll protect my own dungeon and adventurers."
Although the portals to the Zane Dungeon have expanded to the Leyndell, the people of Bede City unanimously believe that Sien belongs to Bed and is "one of their own."
An order from the main guild? Who cares.
"Gina, anything new has happened lately?"
Sid lit a cigarette, looking at the Bede City lit up in the night. He calculated that it was time for the gates of the Zane Dungeon to close, and the adventurers who had been busy all day should be returning.
Although some people will live in Lake Liurnia, the current safe zone can't accommodate any more people. For the small safe zone, it will take time to walk there, and not everyone can find a campfire to teleport there before the dungeon closes.
"A lot has indeed happened recently."
Gina opened her notebook and said:
"The first thing is that the Chef Union has sent a large number of people to establish a branch in Bede City. The head of the branch is Elf Race named Ku Li Pa. The Chef Union's goal is to acquire legendary cooking utensils and ingredients and recipes from the Gourmet Area. Under their influence, the number of caravans going to Bede City to purchase ingredients has increased several times over. Ka Rong is expanding Bede City and is currently building a temporary camp and arena outside the city."
"A gladiatorial arena?"
"Yes, because the ingredients produced in the Gourmet Area are limited, it is difficult to increase the number of people willing to collect ingredients full-time in a short period of time. Therefore, the order and quantity of each caravan's purchases are determined by force. Each caravan has chosen its own dueling agent, and the benefits are distributed according to the outcome."
"."
"It is said that this kind of competition is very popular and attracts a lot of residents to watch. Casinos were also built as a result. By the way, this competition was also given a name, called the 'Fist Wish Tournament'."
"Absolutely amazing."
"The second thing is about the Magic Association. Someone has taken magic obtained from the Raya Lucaria Magic Academy and registered it as a patent, claiming that users of these spells will have to pay money."
Sid's gaze sharpened immediately.
"Professor Tu Erqi, who was active in Bede City before, was furious about this. It is said that after learning the news, she cursed alone in her room for a long time. Now she has set off for the Magic Association headquarters to 'turn' the guy who registered the patent into a star."
Sid's gaze softened, and he said, "I remember that Tu Erqi was a supporter of patent registration, wasn't she?"
"Yes, but after arriving in Bede City, her thinking seems to have changed somewhat. At the very least, her dignity as a professor does not allow her or anyone else to register the magic taught by the [Mentor] in Sain as a patent."
"Yes, I'm glad there are still people like that in the association."
"The third thing happened not long ago. Malu from the Strategy Team came to report that her captain accidentally entered the newly appeared Painting World 'Anor Londo' in the Zane Dungeon. The quests she accepted from the guild will probably have to wait until Leon returns."
"Has a new Painting World emerged?"
Sid stroked his beard, glanced at the Bede City outside the window, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Eh?"
Why are there so few adventurers returning today?
The Bede City seems rather quiet today; there are far fewer adventurers returning.
Gina turned to the next page of her notebook and said:
"That's exactly what I wanted to report. So far, the number of adventurers who have come to report that their companions have entered Anor Londo has reached three digits."
"No wonder."
Looking at the sparsely populated Bede City, Sid had a feeling that something was about to happen.
