Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3950 Planning
"Although I also find it absurd, this is the fact. Leaving the dark corner and returning to the front hall is what many people seek, and that's what I encountered."

The front hall is what the people in the dark corners call the real world.

Similar names include vestibule, front yard, front room, etc.

"From the perspective of escaping death, my experience is definitely lucky."

"But if you look at it from the perspective of escaping back to the front hall, it's hard for me to define whether this is lucky or not." Gonzalez's eyes flashed with complex thoughts: "Perhaps for those who have just entered the Dark Corner, they want to escape from it very much. But for me who has lived in the Dark Corner for most of my life, I don't really want to leave the Dark Corner. My children and my lover are all in the Dark Corner."

In fact, it was not just Gonzalez. Many people in Omo City had already adapted to life in the dark corner. If they were suddenly asked to return to the front hall, their attitude would probably be the same as Gonzalez's.

Even though there are many dangers in dark corners, when you gradually adapt to these dangers and integrate them into the rules of life, they will become a part of life. If you avoid them properly, you can survive.

Of course, the prerequisite is not to become an explorer like Gonzalez.

The dangers encountered by explorers are different from those faced by the residents of Omo City.

After Gonzalez finished talking about the experience of "Omo City being offline for many years", he began to talk about another issue that Angel was concerned about.

——The Lord of the Dream Layer and Levels.

"I mentioned earlier that after Diomo Mountain entered the dark corner, it appeared in the Star Grassland of the Fantasy Dream. The level where this grassland is located is the Fantasy Dream Layer."

The dream layer is not a single level. As far as Gonzalez knows, there are many dream layers.

For example, the Star Prairie of Fantasy Dreams, the Moonlight Sea of ​​Fantasy Dreams, the Crystal Forest of Fantasy Dreams, the Sky Islands of Fantasy Dreams... and so on.

As long as the prefix contains "Dream", it is the Dream layer.

Speaking of this, Gonzalez added a little knowledge.

"It's a very good method to judge the nature of the level by prefixes. In addition to the Dream prefix I just mentioned, there are many other levels in the Dark Corner that have exclusive prefixes, such as the Dark Magic Contract Land, the Dark Soul Altar... From the prefixes, we can know that they all belong to the Dark Level."

“There is almost no light in the dark layer, so you need to bring your own light source.”

"Similarly, there is the Abandoned Layer, which is a wasteland; the Burning Layer, which is almost all flames; and the Void Layer, which is nothingness..."

In short, the prefix of the level can roughly determine which type the level belongs to.

But the premise of all this is that you know the name of the level.

If you enter a level without knowing anything, there is nothing you can do.

"Back to the topic, the reason why the Dream Layer is prefixed with 'Dream' is because this type of layer is full of the power of illusion and dream."

"As I just said, in the grassland where Mount Diomo is located, a faint light will rise at night, causing people to enter a dream. This faint light comes from the power of dreams."

"Similarly, other dream layers have similar powers. When walking in the dream layer, sometimes you don't know whether you are moving forward or not. Maybe you are walking in a dream, not in reality."

The power of dreams makes it difficult for you to distinguish between reality and illusion, dreaming and being awake.

This is the dream layer.

"Of course, I'm only talking about the Dream Layer that I understand. Maybe the Dream Layer has other deeper meanings, but I'm just an ordinary explorer. I don't know anything deeper."

Gonzalez spread his hands honestly: "Therefore, the Lord of the Levels you asked, my explanation will also be based on my understanding."

Angel naturally understood that Gonzalez must have some flaws in his vision.

But this is not important. The task of becoming a level master is impossible to complete in Modern City. After going to the dark corner, you can slowly find a way.

Now the most important thing is to know what the concept of the Lord of the Levels means in the minds of the people in the Dark Corner.

Gonzalez: "I don't know where you know the Lord of the Layers. It is a title that few people know. It was not until many years after I became an explorer that I heard about the legend of the 'Lord of the Layers' from the Explorer General Administration."

Even in the Explorers' General Office, information about the Level Lord is kept secret. Even though Gonzalez is very curious about the Level Lord, it is difficult for him to find out more information.

All we know is that the Lord of a level is the ruler of a level.

It’s no problem to say that he is the strongest at this level.

It commands this level and has the authority to manipulate it.

“It is said that there is a legendary explorer in the Explorer General Administration who is the Lord of the Levels. But this is just a legend and has not been confirmed,” Gonzalez said.

Ingres nodded to show that he understood.

Although this is just a rumor, let's just assume it is true.

Let’s take this opportunity to take a glimpse at the level of strength of the Lord of the Levels.

Angel had heard about the Explorers' Bureau from Abigail before. It was one of the largest organizations in the Dark Corner.

It and the Investigators Guild are collectively known as the "Justice Organization."

The "justice" here is not a joke. These two organizations will really take the initiative to help people who have fallen into dark corners.

The fact that Omo City was able to recover from the assimilation disaster was also thanks to the many investigators and explorers who came one after another. Although they also had their own selfish motives, their contributions to Omo City are indelible.

This also led to the fact that after Gonzalez left Omo City, the first organization he chose to join was the Explorers General Administration.

In the Explorer General Administration, every explorer has a corresponding number, which is also for the convenience of identifying corpses.

The explorers ranked in the top ten are legendary explorers.

Every legendary explorer is a powerful being who has conquered countless levels and brought back a large amount of secret information. If we use the level of magicians to correspond, they have at least reached the king level.

In this case, if a legendary explorer really becomes the master of a level, then to become the master of a level, one would probably need to have strength that reaches the king level.

Or in terms of wizard level, it is the level of true knowledge.

Although it is a bit inappropriate to directly equate strength with level master, it can be regarded as a rough criterion for judgment.

"If one really has to be at the True Knowledge level to become the Lord of a level..." Angel sighed inwardly, then Sigismund probably has no chance.

He had thought that if Sigismund could complete the task and become the master of the level, then many things would be simple.

But now it seems that it is a bit difficult to make Sigismund the master of the level.

After a moment of silence, Angel finally asked Gonzalez a question: "Do you know how to become a level master?"

Although Angel felt that Gonzalez probably didn't know the answer, there was no harm in asking.

The fact was indeed as Angel expected. Gonzalez shook his head and said, "I don't know how to become the master of the level, but..."

Angel: "But what?"

Gonzalez did not answer immediately, but stared into Angel's eyes, trying to see what Angel was thinking.

But unfortunately it was just an illusion and nothing could be seen.

"However, if you have the opportunity to go to the dark corner, you can try to find the answer in Omo City."

Angel was stunned: "Omo City?"

How is the method of becoming the master of the levels related to the Kingdom of Mountains?
Gonzalez: “Yes, it is Omo City.”

"I mentioned before that many dark corner organizations think that the residents of Omo City are very lucky. They have not been killed by the environment or the mechanism..."

"Besides that, there is actually another point that they think is lucky, and that is that there is no level master in the Star Grassland of Huanmeng."

The Lord of a level can be completely called the uncrowned "king" of a level.

Whether people living at this level have a good or bad life depends entirely on the "king".

For a few wanderers, joining the kingdom of the Lord of the Levels is not a bad thing, at least it is better than wandering; but for a population as large as that of Omo City, if they join the command of a Lord of the Levels, they will most likely live a much worse life than they do now because they will lose their freedom.

So, the luck of Omo City lies in this.

There are no level lords in the Star Grassland of Fantasy Dreams, so they don’t have to worry about being exploited and oppressed by the level lords at this level.

"After I left Omo City and became an explorer, I also inquired about the situation in Omo City many times." Gonzalez: "The situation in Omo City is neither good nor bad. The only news worth mentioning is that the royal family announced that in order to protect the residents of Omo City from the disaster, they will find a way to become the master of the Star Grassland."

At this point, Gonzalez's meaning was clear.

He really didn't know how to become the master of the level, but the royal family of Omo City probably knew it.

After all, they covet the position of the level master, so they must understand the requirements to become the level master.

Angel had never expected that the first information he got about becoming a level master would fall on the royal family of Omo City...

Speaking of which, Zuniga is the king of Omo City.

In other words, after a lot of twists and turns, this mission is related to Zuniga again.

Before, Angel thought that Com was the destined man, but now it seems that the title of the destined man should fall on Zuniga... But thinking back, it makes sense, the tasks in the dungeon have always been one link after another.

Who knows, the mission of the Level Lord may be related to the mysterious child that Sisley met.

Gonzalez: "...That's about it. I don't know why you are interested in the Master of the Layers, but if you find the dark corner and want to go to Omo City to find a way to become a Master of the Layers, you can call me and I will lead the way."

When Gonzalez said this, he hinted to Angel several times, wanting to know whether he had found the information of the entrance to the dark corner. In his opinion, Angel had already begun to ask for information from the Dream Layer and the Lord of the Layers, so it was very likely that he had the information of the entrance.

Therefore, Gonzalez hinted and hinted, hoping that when Angel went to the dark corner, he would take him with him.

Angel could naturally understand his hint, but... he had no plans to send Gonzalez away for the time being.

Let’s wait for Huayuan to try the dark corner first before talking about other things.

……

In the team chat channel.

Ingres showed the entire content of his conversation with Gonzalez.

The focus is on: information about the dream layer and the master of the layer.

Although he felt that relying on Sigimund's strength, the possibility of becoming the master of the level was low, but... what if?
If Sigismund successfully completes the task, wouldn’t many problems be solved?

Speaking of missions, Sigismund and Laplace automatically accepted the side quest of "Step into the dream and see the truth" after entering the hidden waters.

Then, they met with Luliana and Dolos, and the mission was automatically completed.

As for rewards, they are the same as Angor's.

Also obtained the Ether Society Badge, Ether Converter (one-time) and "Dark Corner Guide".

With these three things, Sigimund can enter the dark corner and complete the task of "Lord of the Layers". At the same time, he has a certain resistance to ether erosion.

It's just an "ether converter", which is not of much use to Sigismund.

"Ether Converter (One-time): When in an etheric environment, it can absorb the free etheric energy from the outside world. When it absorbs a certain amount, a special etheric core will be generated. This version of the etheric core can be used to power the "Fashion Magic Book"."

The ether core generated by the ether converter can power the "Fashion Magic Book".

But Sigismund did not have a magic book, and when Ingres asked him if he wanted to get a magic book first, he refused.

In the words of Sigimund: I trust the sword in my hand more than these fashionable magics.

Although Ingres disagreed with Sigismund's theory, he did not dissuade him. For someone who loves swords, using external objects might shake his inner spiritual core. Since he insisted on using only swords, let him do it.

In short, both Sigismund and Laplace now have the three-piece set of dark corners.

You can also follow the guidance of the Dark Corner Guide to complete the only main task: becoming the master of the level.

Angel announced the information in the team chat channel.

After a long while, Sigismund replied leisurely.

"Sword: 1."

Angel: "???"

What the hell is 1?

"Sword: I mean, I get it."

"Angel: Are you sure you know?"

"Sigimond: My mission is to fight all the way, finally reach the Star Grassland of the Dream, and then go to the royal family of Omo City to get the clue to become the Lord of the Layers."

After seeing Sigismund's summary, Angel felt a little relieved.

"Angel: If everything goes well, we will take it according to this process. But if we can't find the way to the Star Grassland level, we will adapt to the situation at that time."

If nothing unexpected happens, after Sigimund enters the Dark Corner, he will not be at the level of Star Grassland, but at the "Dreamlike Moonlight Sea".

The Moonlight Sea has a hierarchy of masters, which is the Moon Eye in the sky.

If Sigimund enters the dark corner and is noticed by the Moon Eye, it will be difficult for him to leave that level.

However, Sigimund entered the dark corner through the backhand of the Moon Eye, and the probability of being noticed by the Moon Eye was very high. Therefore, compared with the established process, Angel suggested that Sigimund should adapt to the situation.
