Otherworldly Magnetic Field TikTok

Another day has passed, and the people of Black Rock City are welcoming the end of the workday for the two underground cities.

Black Rock City activated its bright light magic precisely on time, illuminating the city that had recently fallen into darkness once more.

When the first adventurer returned to the city, it was as if a giant beast had been suddenly awakened, and the cries of various shops rang out in the blink of an eye!

The bustling crowds returned to the city from the dungeon, instantly bringing the place back to life. The loud noises of adventurers and workers who made their living in the dungeon woke up many who had already fallen asleep.

According to incomplete statistics, cities with popular underground cities tend to have a higher demand for sleeping pills among their residents.

While ordinary people have a need to go to bed early, they can't blame the adventurers, since the city's GDP depends on them.

Since the appearance of the Zane Dungeon, Black Rock City has quickly become a favorite of investors from all walks of life. Caravans flocked to the city, and all industries in the area were overjoyed, as everyone ushered in a wave of economic growth opportunities.

However, some problems have also arisen, such as...

"Our caravan came for the delicious ingredients from Sain, and now where are the ingredients? What the hell are those disgusting monsters?!"

"I can't beat them, I can't beat them, I want to leave, I want to leave."

Various noises came from outside the Adventurers' Guild, but fortunately the guild's soundproofing magic was working well, preventing outside noise from getting in and, most importantly, preventing internal noise from getting out. This was a reform implemented after numerous complaints about disturbing the peace.

"Boss, boss?"

The second floor of the guild, the reception room accessible only to Silver Rank adventurers, was a little quieter, and Malu's voice could be heard from there.

She kept waving at Leon, who was staring blankly into space, but he just couldn't see anything.

"Ah?"

Leon only came to his senses when Malu pinched his thigh in anger.

"What's wrong?" His eyes still held a clear, innocent look.

"Boss, you've been spacing out. We don't even have a place to stay right now. Are we really going to have to sleep in the guild tonight?" Malu said pitifully, sprawling on the ground like a mollusk.

Because their arrival in the Warrior Country was completely unexpected, they were unprepared. Not only did they have very little money, but it was also in the currency of the Arnor Kingdom. Most importantly, foreigners need a permit to come to the Warrior Country, and they didn't have one.

In other words, Leon and his group are now no different from the smuggled Ru people; if they get caught, they'll end up in jail, where they'll have to keep the Red people company.

Unfortunately, because Prince Lan Le has been living in Black Rock City for a long time, the checks on strangers' identification on the streets have been very strict lately, and there is a high probability that they will not be able to get away with it if they go out.

Fortunately, the Adventurers' Guild takes good care of adventurers, especially famous ones, and allows them to stay in the reception room for the time being. They also told them to wait for their documents and that they would be taken care of sooner or later.

The organized care is really wonderful.

"There's no other way, we'll have to stay at the guild for the time being." Leon shook his head and turned to look at the side. "Look, Delu and Te Er are asleep. You should get some rest too."

Leon also had a lot of things he wanted to do. He wanted to go find his father Te Pi's mansion, see what he was doing, and ask why they didn't meet in the dungeon.

Unfortunately, they couldn't do it all because they were unregistered, which was really disappointing.

"All right."

Malu wobbled to a table and lay down to sleep. The hard, unyielding touch reminded her of the days when she secretly slept at school as a child, and her little face immediately contorted in pain.

Leon was just about to go to rest when there was a knock on the door. When he opened it, he saw a guild staff member.

"Mr. Leon, the information you submitted regarding Enia of the Finger Reader and Two Fingers has attracted the guild's attention. Thank you for your contribution."

"Then, I have some unfortunate news to tell you," the staff member said with a somber expression, "Your documents probably won't be processed for the next few weeks."

"What?" Leon asked, puzzled. "It used to take only one or two days to get it done."

"Firstly, because of the prince, the application process for documents here has become more stringent. Secondly, the number of applicants has increased recently, making it difficult to process all applications."

The staff member shook his head and said, "The guild has already used its privileges to expedite your process, but there are many more people ahead of us who need expedited processing. If you were Gold-Rank Adventurer, you could get your credentials tomorrow."

"."

At this moment, Leon felt extremely regretful for being lazy and not applying for an adventurer rank promotion.

What should he do next? This worry immediately crossed his mind. Also, what about the adventurers who had followed him?

"However, there is another way to get the documents quickly, although it's a bit of an off-the-beaten-path method."

Meeting Leon's gaze, the staff member hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Because Black Rock City recently caught a large number of people who illegally entered the country, it would be too time-consuming and energy-draining to try them one by one, so Prince Lan Le issued a special order."

"What is it?" Leon suddenly felt that this was no good.

"He has erected a giant stage in the center of the city. Tomorrow, those illegal immigrants and those who want to obtain documents quickly will need to perform on the stage according to the themes requested by Prince Lan Le."

The staff member covered his forehead and sighed:

"Anyone who can make him smile can immediately obtain a domestic activity permit."

After listening, Leon remained silent for a few seconds, then, like the staff member, he sighed and rubbed his forehead.

"What's going on here?"

The next day, the city center was packed with people, and a huge temporary stage seemed to reach into the sky, surrounded by projection magic that showed the situation on the stage in real time.

The young man sitting in the highest position was none other than Prince Lan Le Zhulei Penliu. He greeted the crowd with a smile, while his attendants loudly explained the rules. The contestants lined up in rows at the edge of the stage, forming a huge, dense crowd.

"How many people must have been arrested?" Leon and his group, who had all used concealment magic to minimize their presence, mingled among the onlookers, watching the situation on the stage with very complicated expressions.

They risked being caught to scout out the aerial stage, planning to discuss whether to sign up for the later performances after conducting an on-site inspection.

However, judging from the current results...

"I absolutely do not want to go up." Even the most composed Delu firmly refused, crossing his arms.

If you were to step onto that stage and have your figure projected throughout the city by magic, it would probably no longer be a performance. What difference would it make from watching a monkey show?

I fear that even obtaining the credentials could lead to social death!

Everyone cares about their reputation. If all else fails, just stay in the guild. If you really want to go out, use more stealth magic and try to go out as little as possible.

Even in this bustling and noisy scene, you can see guards randomly checking IDs, which makes you feel uneasy.

The prince's attendant was still explaining the rules, which basically meant that the performers just needed to use their special skills to amuse the prince. It was such a simple thing, but he had been talking about it for over ten minutes and still hadn't heard anything. The Bloodlust audience below the stage was getting impatient, and some of them were talking about the news worth paying attention to in the past two days.

"Have you heard? The Adventurers' Guild's latest announcement says the red toxin covering the entire Caelid is called something like Scarlet Corruption. Isn't that a great name? It sounds really powerful. I can't think of a name like that."

"The most important thing isn't the Scarlet Corruption, but that woman... I think her name is Malenia? She brought it over? Using poison and stuff, I still can't accept it. I originally thought she was a noble Warrior because of her title of Valkyrie."

Although the trend of Warrior Reform is popular in the Warrior Country, some traditional ideas from the older generation still exist. For example, Warrior would never use "despicable" means such as poison or hidden weapons. If someone went to the blacksmith's shop to ask to have their weapon poisoned, they would probably be kicked out.

"But my son said he liked her after he heard about it. What should I do? I think his thoughts are dangerous."

"Have you ever heard of Gwyndolin from the Zane Dungeon? Why don't you find your son a different girl?"

"Wait, I remember that was a man, wasn't it?"

"Wouldn't that be even better?"

". really."

After listening to the entire conversation between the passersby, Leon felt that his ears had been polluted.

It was at this moment that the prince's attendant finally finished his long and tedious speech, announcing the start of the competition and revealing the theme of today's performance—

The theme is dungeons!

Upon hearing this, the performers were in an uproar, because this was completely different from what they had heard beforehand, and none of them were prepared.

The prince actually changed the question!

The first performer was reluctantly pushed onto the stage, and finally forced a smile as he said:

"Your Highness, let me demonstrate the unique features of the Boulder Dungeon for you!"

As he spoke, he tossed several stone balls high into the air, catching them repeatedly and tossing them back up, sweating as he laughed:

"How was it, Your Highness? My five-ball technique! These balls were made from ore from the Boulder Dungeon!"

"What kind of dungeon theme is this?" Malu couldn't stand it anymore and pulled Leon's hand over to cover her eyes.

As expected, Lan Le didn't laugh at all; he even slapped himself with a Tranquilizing Spell in front of everyone.

He waved his hand, and the guard next to him shouted "Get out!" A strong gust of wind blew the performer off the stage. The performer screamed "Ahhh!" and fell directly to the ground with a loud crash.

Although there were people on the ground to catch them, preventing the performer from dying from the fall, it was almost certain that they would be scared unconscious.

"Next!" the guard shouted.

The next to appear was a muscular man with a bare upper body, a confident smile on his face. He snapped his fingers, and the Sound Recording Stone on his body immediately started playing a powerful melody.

"Your Highness, watch me perform my muscle dance, the Vibration Wave!"

"Get out!" This time, Lan Le eliminated the performer without even looking at him.

"Your Highness, my performance was so brilliant, why—"

"Next!"

One performer after another took to the stage, only to be blown off one after another. More than ten people had already gone by, and not a single one of them qualified.

"I actually thought the person from earlier was pretty funny," Malu pouted. "Is the prince's standard that strict?"

"Have you ever seen anyone who can make someone laugh while the Tranquilizing Spell is still active?" Leon asked rhetorically, adding, "Such a person should be considered a genius, one in a million."

"Will anyone be able to pass today?"

Under Malu's watchful eye, the attendant announced the name of the new performer.

"Next up, Lu Lu Wo!"

Upon hearing this, Leon and the others widened their eyes, staring intently at the stage, their minds churning with a torrent of thoughts, wanting nothing more than to complain:

Why were you arrested too?!
