Soul-Sucking Wraiths, Get Lost

Lu Lu Wo was probably the first to discover that the Brass Woman would show different attitudes depending on the different oaths an adventurer had.

Because when she was running away from Bede City, she was very dedicated and checked the accounts with other people while she was running away, to see if there were any differences in everyone's procedures.

However, she asked five people in a row, and all five of them were stuck at the Giant Guards at the beginning of the game. It seems that even the Giant Guards has been impossible to get past these past few days, which is a bit too exaggerated.

In the Painting World, a person's spirit is very difficult to recover. Under continuous absorption, the recovery speed is less than the absorption speed. It is possible that these adventurers tried to win a few times but failed and then simply gave up on the spot. They were kicked out when their Spirit Power was absorbed to a certain extent.

However, it's worth noting that those guys who were just sitting around doing nothing were kicked out by Gong Qiying. He probably didn't even squeeze out 20% of their Spirit Power before releasing them. Since they weren't doing anything in there anyway, it was better to throw them out and let them continue their adventures in other parts of the dungeon.

This explains why so many adventurers suddenly appeared today.

Lu Lu Wo had been diligently exploring and adventuring inside, and today her Spirit Power had almost reached the danger level, so she came out with the main group.

She casually recounted a few of her experiences to satisfy Ka Peng's curiosity, then turned and pushed through the crowd toward the Adventurers' Guild.

Even now, her head still aches. She needs to find someone skilled in mental healing magic. Going to the Skyrim Strategy Team, which is nowhere to be found, would obviously be a waste of time. Coincidentally, she knows of someone nearby who is skilled in magic and is someone that very few people would seek out.

That is, the Sid Guild Master.

A moment later.

"Your cooking is still the best, Guild Master."

Lu Lu Wo lay on the recliner, with Sid standing behind her, his left hand pressing against her head, soft magical light emanating from his hand, slowly healing her spirit.

"You guys are really something," Sid said with a helpless expression, "Mistaking me for Priest?"

The reason why he used "we" in what he said was because he still had a Leon on his right hand.

Leon and Lu Lu Wo arrived at the same time, with the exact same purpose, and just happened to bump into each other.

Looking at the somewhat comical scene before her, assistant Gina couldn't help but cover her face with her notebook, her body trembling slightly.

"Hey, Gina, I can see you're smiling," Sid said expressionlessly.

"Sorry, hahaha. I'm done laughing." Gina tilted her head back and let out a series of laughs, but the laughter stopped after only two seconds, and she returned to her usual indifferent style.

This action silenced Leon, who had just recovered and was about to say something.

"You can leave work early today." Sid dismissed his assistant with a dark face, wondering if he had been too lenient.

"Your assistant is quite lively, ouch, ouch, ouch—"

Lu Lu Wo was about to say something when the big hand on her head exerted force, almost making her see her grandmother floating in the sky.

"Alright, tell me the truth about what you've seen in the Painting World."

Sid said with a smile, his smile very friendly.

The two receiving treatment exchanged a glance, realizing that if they didn't say something useful this time, they might never leave the Adventurers' Guild.

However, since they came here to exchange information, receiving treatment was just a side benefit.

The two recounted their experiences in the Painting World, which were strikingly similar in some aspects, yet also had some minor differences.

At the end of the conversation, Lu Lu Wo couldn't help but exclaim:

"You mean, that woman in the brass armor not only gave you an Element Bottle, but also told you to go find Solaire and beg for his favor? Solaire also went out of his way to help you, and even taught you the best way to throw a lightning spear?"

Leon nodded, puzzled, "What's wrong? Aren't you the same? I thought everyone would have the same experience."

Lu Lu Wo stared at the ceiling and said resentfully, "What the Brass Woman said to me was very simple, just one word."

"What?"

"Roll."

"."

"The Brass Woman told me to get lost, but she didn't refuse me the use of the campfire. As for the Element Bottle, I didn't even see a trace of it." She sighed and said, "Solaire's attitude wasn't good either. He said that it was already merciful of him not to kill me as soon as we met. I find it strange. He was such a nice guy when we met in Oolacile. Why did he change this time?"

Leon looked her up and down, then suddenly said:

"Is it possible that when you met Solaire in Oolacile, you weren't yet bound by a Soul Eater oath?"

Lu Lu Wo paused for a moment, then clicked her tongue and said, "I'll go change my oath now. I want to be Sun Warrior too."

In Anor Londo, Soulflayers are generally disliked, so this was the first time adventurers had encountered a ghost that would react to the oaths they bore, making it a groundbreaking event.

Lu Lu Wo had just thought that the Brass Woman would react to different oaths, but she overlooked Solaire, assuming that he would always be a nice guy.

"By the way, Guild Master, I have some footage of Ornstein and Smough here."

She pulled a handful of Image Stone from her pocket and said, "These are the ones I collected with great difficulty; many of them were destroyed during battles."

As the creator of the strategy guide, she carries at least twenty small Image Stone with her on each adventure, and has also mastered the magical technique of controlling the Image Stone remotely, making it easier to capture exciting moments.

However, exciting battles are earned through combat power, which makes her more easily distracted during battles.

The footage of Ornstein and Smough's battle was broadcast one by one, Sid watched silently, his eyes flashing, marveling at the power of the battle.

Both are undoubtedly very strong, and when they are combined, they are an invincible and powerful duo. It is unlikely that anyone can conquer Anor Londo.

However, amidst their amazement, Sid also noticed a detail.

These photos taken by Lu Lu Wo were clearly not recorded from a single battle, but from several battles, with each battle only able to focus on one of Ornstein and Smough.

The other one who wasn't filmed was killed by Solaire, by that Sun Warrior.

This Sun Warrior is the strongest one, isn't he?

"Why does the filming stop every time it shows Ornstein or Smough absorbing the power of their fallen comrades?" Sid discovered the blind spot.

Lu Lu Wo said matter-of-factly:

"Because I died at that time, how could I film if I were dead?"

It's really hard to find any reason to criticize it.

"In your opinion, how should the danger level be set for Anor Londo?"

The Adventurers' Guild divides the various areas of the dungeon into different levels, classifying dangers and rewards, and providing exploration suggestions so that adventurers can explore according to their own abilities.

The two said in unison, "Extremely dangerous."

Sid nodded. "So, what about the reward levels?"

This made the two of them think, and after a few minutes, Leon said:

"Very plentiful, isn't it?"

Lu Lu Wo thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"I originally thought that the Fire Witch was the monster that produced the most souls among the ordinary monsters in the Zane Dungeon, but now it seems that the Giant Guards of Anor Londo can replace her. The only pity is that this Painting World cannot be explored by multiple people, and the difficulty of challenging the Giant Guards alone is too high."

"Besides the abundance of souls?" Gina returned at some point, scribbling notes in her notebook.

"High-grade Forging Stone and Somber Smithing Stone are plentiful, and Flying Dagger are extremely abundant. One trip there might mean you'll never run out of Flying Dagger for the rest of your life." Lu Lu Wo recalled how she tried to swing across the checkpoint by hanging from a roof beam with chains, only to be riddled with Flying Dagger by the Painting Messenger's throwing knives.

With the rise in popularity of blacksmith Andre, adventurers discovered that Forging Stone were graded. When a weapon was upgraded to a certain level, it required the use of higher quality and more Forging Stone, while certain special weapons required the use of discolored Forging Stone.

Previously, the areas that produced Forging Stone could only allow adventurers to enhance their weapons four or five times before reaching their limit, as higher-level Forging Stone were scarce. However, the emergence of Anor Londo undoubtedly brought a large number of high-level Forging Stone, paving the way for future weapon enhancements.

"Also, there's a friendly giant blacksmith in the castle who can offer a free upgrade," Lu Lu Wo said with a serious expression. "We can't pass up this opportunity."

The two then discussed their scattered discoveries, but overlooked something very important: the Dark Moon Mausoleum and Gwyndolin. After all, neither of them possessed the Dark Moon Blade or the Dark Moon Priest Ring, so they naturally couldn't remove the restrictions imposed by Gwyn's statue.

It feels like we haven't fully explored Anor Londo yet. The main issue is that it takes a while to get used to it at the beginning. Also, the Gong Qiying battle locations were set up in a rather "obvious" way, which meant that people were fighting Ornstein shortly after entering Gwyn Castle.

The castle is actually quite large, but the paths that can be walked on are probably hidden quite well.

Even now, there is still an Onion Knight Jack in the Leyndell who has not been discovered.

"It seems this place is geared towards top-tier adventurers," Gina concluded.

"Get everything organized, Gina. We'll release the initial version of the Anor Londo exploration guide to the adventurers later. Update it as soon as you get any new information," Sid said.

"OK."

Gina walked away in a hurry, Lu Lu Wo suddenly asked curiously:

"Speaking of adventurers at the 'top of the tower,' Guild Master, weren't you once a Gold-ranked adventurer yourself? Have you ever thought about trying your luck in Sien? I can show you the way."

"Okay, you can lead the way tomorrow."

"Okay, I knew you were too old to mess around with us young people. Wait, what did you just say?"

Lu Lu Wo exclaimed in surprise, "You really want to come to the dungeon with me!?"

Leon's gaze also changed. He had heard rumors that Sid had suffered a serious injury when he was young, which prevented him from performing at his full strength and forced him to retire from the front lines of adventure.

Why do you suddenly want to go into the dungeon?

Having seen through what people were thinking, Sid smiled, slammed a crumpled letter on the table, and said:

"After resting for so many years, I've at least recovered a bit, and..."

Leon leaned closer to look at the letter and asked in surprise, "Teacher Jia Paer's handwriting?"

Sid revealed a sinister smile and said:

"That old bastard Jia Paer has been bragging to me ever since he became famous. I've had enough of his mockery. I'm going to produce results that will overwhelm him!"

He exuded a terrifying aura, causing the two people beside him to tremble involuntarily.

"Then, then what is your goal?" Lu Lu Wo hugged her shoulders and took a few steps back, like a frightened little bat.

"Anor Londo!"
