Chapter 296. Outland (2) (1/2)
Chapter 296 Outland (2)
On the far west of the Ruben Empire, there was a barren land unaffected by its influence called Outland
“Mm, there are more people than I expected,” the Frost Queen remarked
“That’s because we’re still at the entrance,” Seo Jun-Ho said
Seo Jun-Ho, Frost, and Gilberto had just entered Dustang It was an infa with criminals It didn’t even have a Teleport Gate As such, it took thee from here, we could reach the Great Western Wall in four days,” Seo Jun-Ho explained to Gilberto The Outland region was beyond the Wall
Gilberto suddenly looked around “So this is Dustang Is this where Arthur lived?”
“Yeah This is the place”
Gilberto’s eyes drooped a little as he looked around the street As a father, he would never want his child to live in a city like this In fact, he would have begged Arthur to stay far away from this place
“” Gilberto scanned the street There were rookies walking down the road, eround in every alleyway, and they were either drunk fros “It doesn’t look very safe here Is the city lord not doing anything?”
“Forget about safety; he even ran away to live in a different city,” Seo Jun-Ho said The city lord had given up on overseeing Dustang And seeing how he hadn’t been punished by the e if he had received permission to do so In the first place, this wasn’t a city someone could run just because they wanted to
‘Captain Gong said this place was a dumpster’
Now that he was here in person, those words resonated with him Even if a few people desperately tried to restore order here, this wasn’t a place where such actions could be done
“I ondering why you suddenly made a soundproof barrier I suppose that’s the reason,” Gilberto said
“There could be fiends around, so watch your mouth”
The three of them entered a nearby inn They casually sat down at a table in the restaurant The two men ordered beers while they ordered warm milk for Frost
Gilberto held his face in his hands “I didn’t know I didn’t know that Arthur once lived in such an ugly place”
“I told you He’s not the kid you used to know He’s a grown adult and a respectable Player”
“”
All parents wanted their children to groearing nice clothes and only seeing the good things in the world As such, Gilberto smiled bitterly
“I don’t know if I should bla up well”
“Hey, don’t bla even me feel bad,” Seo Jun-Ho said
“How do you think I would feel if you say that?” added the Frost Queen Perhaps it was because they had been living together for a while, but Seo Jun-Ho and the Frost Queen both had silum looks on their faces
Gilberto see their reactions and shrugged “You two have nothing to be sorry about Arthur has grown into a good man; I’ll just leave it at that Anyway”
He scanned the restaurant “Why are there so many Players here?”
“I don’t know I have been wondering the sa since earlier”
As Gilberto said, there were many Players here And it wasn’t just the restaurant Ever since they set foot in the city, they had noticed a lot more Players than the city was known for
“Did a war break out near here?” Gilberto asked
“I’ll ask,” Seo Jun-Ho replied smoothly He tapped his Vita, and the answer came quickly
[JH: I actually ht away]
A file soon arrived froher Level]
‘Higher Level?’
Seo Jun-Ho skimmed the report, and his face fell He slid it over to Gilberto “Read this”
Gilberto’s long lashes lowered for a ramas if he had no idea of the issue “It’s a co here like bees”
“You think it’s only a rumor?”
“Jun-Ho, you don’t sound like yourself You don’t actually believe this ridiculous rumor, do you?”
“I don’t know” He had a faint, ambivalent smile on his face
“There were many rumors like this back in our day, too,” Gilberto added
“M around in this day and age” He looked back to the report According to the ruroup had appeared in Outland They were selling a potion called Higher Level “They say that if you take it, your skill grade will increase, or you’ll actually gain a new skill”
“Ridiculous” Gilberto crossed his arreed “Really? I think the rumors are true”
Gilberto frowned a bit at that After all, Seo Jun-Ho had always been incorrect about these things before despite having Keen Intuition “Why do you think so? Is it your Intuition?”
“No,Just think about the current situation”
Floors were being cleared left and right They had cleared the 2nd floor after being stuck for 26 years and cleared the 3rd floor soon afterward
“When I read a report last time, it said that 470,000 Players have come up to the 2nd floor How many do you think went up to the 3rd?”
“100,000?”
“Wrong Less than 20,000”
Ninety-six percent of the Players who had come up to the 2nd floor couldn’t make it to the 3rd floor and were stuck here
“Of course, there are other things to consider” Seo Jun-Ho pointed at hiot rid of the heat on the 3rd floor”
The day after he destroyed the hellfire, the number of Players on the 3rd floor exponentially increased Moonlight’s initial estimate was around 200,000
“But the 3rd floor was quickly cleared, so the 20,000 Players who had been on the 3rd floor before”
“They probably went up to the 4th floor And those people should be the elites”
“Bingo But the majority of Players still haven’t left the 2nd floor”
