Chapter 67: The Tale of the Iron Prison – Water Dungeon (2/2)
Soon, not a single monster or demons was left in the whole fifth underground level.
Fei was still thinking about the astonishing scene, but a white beam of light fell from the sky and surrounded him……
“Haha, I leveled up again!!”
Fei was excited. He opened up his character status panel; his Barbarian character was already level 16 after these aggressive battles – he had leveled up 4 times in the last 4 hours, which wasn’t bad.
After finishing distributing all the attribute and skill points, Fei’s attention was quickly attracted by the golden lights on the ground. Andariel had dropped four gold rare items continuously. Fei was stoked as he walked up and picked them up. There was a mighty sphinx shield, a pair of exquisite heavy chain boots, a simple traditional steel helmet that had ancient engravings and a three layered yellow leather belt.
“Eh? Ahahahahah, no wonder I didn’t get anything good from 【Countess] and 【The Smith], it seems like all the items were accumulated at the final boss Andariel……I’m the luckiest! All four items are what my barbarian needs the most. Hahahaha!”
Fei was so happy that his teeth almost fell off.
Although all four items weren’t identified, Fei could tell that they were quality stuff by just looking at them. After Fei stood there and laughed for a while, he went around and packed all the blue magic items and gold coins that the monsters and demons dropped.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Fei used a 【Town Portal Scroll] and returned to 【Rogue Encampment] with Elena.
Fei wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but as soon as he stepped back to the camp, he felt something was not the same.
Sure enough, waves of cheers sounded by his ears.
“Andariel is dead…….I’m not dreaming, am I?……That damn demon is really dead!!”
“It’s that brave Barbarian warrior, he’s really killed Andariel……This is unbelievable!”
“Light has finally been restored to the Rogue Continent……We’re saved!”
“God bless. Andariel is dead, and the road to the east has been re-opened! We can go to
Lut Gholein now……”
Fei was stunned. He turned around and found out that the hot mercenary was tearing in joy. Elena stared at Fei with admiration and worship, and shook as she said, “Mister Fei, you’ve executed the nightmare of 【Rogue Encampment]- Andariel. You shall become the Legendary Warrior of 【Rogue Encampment]. According to the Blood Oath of Covenant from the ancestors of the camp 60 years ago, you shall become the supreme leader of 【Rogue Encampment] and lead everyone in the camp. Also, you can acquire three legendary miraculous skills from the Great God!”
As Elena spoke, more and more people crowded together; the greedy priestess Akara, military leader Kashya, blacksmith Charsi, “obscene” old man Cain, gambler Gheed, and many more young and pretty female rogues…… Everyone walked to Fei’s side and sung an ancient, mysterious song as they knelt down onto the ground excitedly and solemnly.
Fei’s mouth was wide open.
“This is weird. I don’t recall any scene in the game about this.” He was very surprised. He was about to ask about the “Blood Oath of Covenant from the camp’s ancestors” and the “legendary skills from the God”, as they gave Fei a huge shock, but at this moment –
“Maximum gaming time is about to be reached……Entering ten second count down……”
The uninvited cold and mysterious voice suddenly appeared in Fei’s head again.
Fei was surprised, but he knew that there wasn’t time for him to ask any questions. He quickly converted a couple items that he wanted into the real world. Unfortunately, 【Town Portal Scroll] was still not able to be converted due to the level restriction; except for that, Fei had successfully converted a couple bottles of 【Stamina Potions], 【Normal Healing Potions] and 【Mana Potions]……
The zero gravity sensation came again and Fei blacked out.
Everything disappeared.
……
When he opened his eyes again, he was already back in the real world.
The sun was on the west side of the sky, and lunch time had already passed by. Fei had no idea there Angela and Emma went. Fei asked a maid to bring him some random food to fill his stomach, then went to Chambord’s Iron Prison-Water Dungeon with his personal guard Fernando-Torres under Brook’s lead. He was ready to execute his orders from earlier this morning and revamp the whole prison.
The Iron Prison-Water Dungeon was where the past kings of Chambord imprisoned and interrogated prisoners. The place was heavily guarded and was located in a remote area. The three of them walked along the wide stone road that led to the mountains at the back of Chambord. They finally arrived after about twenty minutes.
Two thirty yard (m) tall stone warrior statues were standing in front of the gate of the prison. It gave off an oppressive feeling, and the statues looked prestigious. Behind the statues, there was a mile (1 km) long stairway that was layered in white stones; it followed the gently sloped terrain and rose up the mountain. It led to a medium sized square, which held a black bunker style building at the very middle. This was the Iron Prison – Water Dungeon.
This black prison had imprisoned numerous offenders, and many nobles, royalty, heroes, and military officers had died in this place. Numerous civilians and criminals that turned into white bones were here as well. It could be said that this was the scariest place in Chambord. In many tales, when someone was imprisoned in the Iron Prison-Water Dungeon, almost they would almost certainly never walk out alive. Even if it was a hot summer day, no one wanted to approach this bloody, gloomy and bone-chilling “Tomb of Lives”. What surprised Fei and Brook was that when they arrived at the square, it was filled and crowded with people……
