Who designed this underworld dungeon?

Chapter 369 Brass Woman/Fireproof Woman

When you are surrounded by dangerous monsters, someone suddenly appears and calls you over?

Generally speaking, the person who shows up in this situation shouldn't be a bad guy, right?

After all, the doorway where the woman who seemed to be wearing full brass armor was located was a bit large, and it seemed that the giant guards could get in by just bending over.

It's impossible that he would take such a big risk to greet her just for something from her. So far, it seems that Patch is the only afterimage he has encountered who would deliberately cheat others.

“So, she should be a good person.”

Squatting on the observation deck where she was thrown down by the bat monster at the beginning, Elsa was reviewing the situation and finally came to a conclusion that made her ashamed.

As for why she returned to where the dream began, it was of course because she died once.

Unfortunately, when the Brass Woman appeared, she hesitated. This hesitation gave the enemy an opportunity. The giant guards rushed forward and chopped her into pieces.

Fortunately, there is a bonfire in the Sen dungeon that can resurrect. If that piece of meat was teleported directly to the resurrection house, I'm afraid I would win the trophy for the best death of the year.

Ever since the anomaly in the Sion dungeon, the winner of the Best Death trophy has been very controversial, mainly because there are innovations every day.

Elsa dusted off her butt, reviewed in her mind the details of the various scenes she had seen while parkouring just now, and finally decided to take a steady approach and clear out the monsters slowly this time.

From the current perspective, the distance from her to the woman in brass armor is not far, but this distance is obviously not enough for the Giant Guards to give up chasing her, and it is not certain whether the brass woman has the means to stop the Giant Guards.

Elsa stretched her muscles, feeling troubled at the thought of having to fight countless giant guards next.

It seems like I'm becoming less and less interested in fighting lately.

She walked down the stairs, fought a fierce battle to kill the giant guards who fell from the sky, and then fought with the two giant guards who came later. When she finally killed all the enemies at the beginning, she already felt sore in her back and legs cramps.

The Giant Guards dropped all high-level forging stones, and occasionally humanity. Elsa threw all of them into a corner.

After doing all this, she finally had time to rest and look around the spacious room.

If she had to describe the feeling this place gave her, it was that it was grand. It was even more impressive than the palace of King Ainz III, but it lacked a lot of popularity. It was like a lonely dead city.

I didn't feel it when I was fighting the giant guards, but now that I'm alone here, a feeling of loneliness soon came over me, followed by an indescribable sadness.

"What is this statue called, uh, what is it called?"

At the far end of the room she found a tall statue that was probably as tall as four or five of her stacked together.

It was a knight wearing lion armor. His entire body was carved from an unknown material that felt like stone. It was delicate and mighty, except for the spear in his hand, which was not made of stone. It looked like something that could be used in reality.

"Oh, his name is Ornstein."

Elsa looked at Ornstein's statue, suddenly walked under the statue and jumped twice, then grabbed the spear in the statue's hand with her little hand.

When she held the spear that was too big for her, she came back to her senses. She slapped her hand that had just touched the spear, her face slightly red, and said, "What was I thinking? I actually wanted to take the spear down and use it myself."

Perhaps influenced by Luluwo's ​​bastard character of not taking advantage of an opportunity, Luluwo often brings an intern who specializes in collecting miscellaneous things when entering the dungeon, and will take away any strange things he sees.

However, if the entire statue could be brought back, I'm afraid that Princess Celina of the kingdom who is rumored to like Sean would spend a large price to buy it, right?

Continuing to move forward, when encountering the three giant guards lined up in a row, Elsa used a simple and unpretentious circling tactic, and after a lot of effort she successfully passed this level.

She's already having such a hard time fighting, what will happen if other people come here?

Dying in the painting world would leave behind an image of death, so she wanted to die as little as possible and absolutely did not want to leave a trace of her miserable appearance to those who came after her.

The doorway on the side of the open space was where the brass woman had leaned out earlier. When I walked over to take a look, I found that I still had to walk down some distance. On the other side, behind the three giant guards, there was a wide hall, and it seemed that there was no way to go there.

At this time, she chose to explore the hall with no other way out first and then go find the brass woman. This way, she wouldn't have to come back, saving time and effort.

There is also a familiar statue in the hall, it is Smough. The hammer in its hand is still not a sculpture. It looks like a weapon that can be used normally. Unfortunately, Elsa can't take it down.

“There’s actually a treasure chest.”

There were two treasure chests on both sides of the Smoo statue. Elsa was surprised and paid special attention to the appearance of the treasure chests.

Luluwo once shared her experience. If you want to tell whether a treasure chest is a treasure chest monster or not, you just need to look at the direction of the iron chain on it. If it faces inward, it is a real treasure chest, and if it faces outward, it is a treasure chest monster.

"This chain faces inwards, it's a real treasure chest."

Inside is a [Giant Guard Large Shield].

Elsa looked at the huge shield that was taller than her and fell silent.

The size of weapons and equipment produced by Sion sometimes changes to suit the body shape of the recipient, but occasionally there are changes that are unacceptable, like the current great shield and Smough's hammer.

Now that things have come to this, I might as well take a look at the treasure chest next to me. The chain of this treasure chest is also facing inward, so I'm really lucky this time.

She bent down, grabbed the edge of the treasure chest, and lifted it up!

The sharp teeth and slippery tongue inside the treasure chest pounced directly on her face. This thing is a treasure chest monster!

When Elsa was caught off guard and the treasure chest monster stuffed the food into her big mouth and chewed it, her only thought was that it was not advisable to act based on experience!

Returning to the place where the dream began, she fought the six giant guards again. Elsa's expression was numb. She trotted over and cut the treasure chest monster into pieces, obtaining the [Crystal Halberd].

Next, it's time to find the brass woman.

“Ding ding ding——”

The giant guards' great shields and crystal halberds were dragged on the stairs, making clashes on every step. The sound made the brass woman at the bottom, who was posing very coolly, tilt her head.

"What are you doing?"

From her perspective, a large shield floated over stumblingly. Upon closer inspection, she saw that there was an Elsa holding the shield behind her.

Elsa's little face popped out from behind the big shield and asked:

"Can we exchange some supplies?"

After a while, the big shield and crystal halberd were thrown aside in a corner. Elsa counted the element bottles that could be used to drink five sips and the green grasses of various sizes in front of the burning bonfire. She showed a touched look and said to the brass girl, "You are a good person."

"In principle, I generally do not accept any trade requests."

The brass woman shook her head, her tone somewhat helpless.

"I didn't expect that there would be pilgrims coming. Undead warrior, if you keep going forward, you will reach your destination, King Gwyn's original castle. If you are a true hero, you should be able to receive revelation there. As for what happens next, it all depends on your luck."

Elsa hung the element bottle around her waist, thinking that the people in the painting world seemed to regard outsiders like her as immortal. However, she felt that there was no problem. After all, as long as her spirit was not weakened, she could really be considered "immortal" in the painting world.

I didn't expect there would be a bonfire here. Finally, I don't have to go back to the beginning to fight the giant guards after dying. Moreover, the brass sister here is a good person. She actually accepted her request to exchange the large shield and crystal halberd for supplies.

But can you reach the legendary castle of Gwyn, the King of Sunshine, by entering from here? Why do people here call Gwyn the Great King? It feels like a secular name.

Elsa decided to inquire about the other party's identity.

"Me?" The brass girl said, "Well, I am the guardian of the bonfire here. Perhaps you can call me the fire keeper."

"Fire Keeper?" Elsa repeated the unfamiliar word.

It seems that this is the first time that adventurers have come across the title of "Fire Keeper".

"My mission is to maintain the existence of the bonfire here. As long as the Fire Keeper is still here, the bonfire will not go out easily." The brass girl looked at her and said, "Even in this abandoned castle, there is always a need for people to guide the heroes. You may not understand, but I think it is not a bad thing to see the heroes off to accept the trial."

What you mean by guidance is just telling people to keep moving forward. It's surprisingly simple and straightforward.

Elsa complained in her heart and asked, "Why do you say it's an abandoned castle?"

"You know nothing?" The brass woman's tone was full of doubt, but she still explained dutifully: "Ever since King Gwyn took away the King's Soul and abandoned everything to pass on the fire, Anor Londo has gradually fallen into decline. The gods left, the heroes left, and it gradually became what it is now."

Is Gwyn's influence so great that everything in Anor Londo changed as soon as he left? Elsa couldn't help but sigh, but still had doubts.

"Excuse me, what do Revelation and Trial refer to?"

The brass woman shook her head and said, "It is not my duty to reveal information here. If you cannot pass the trial, then it is meaningless to know what the apocalypse is. As for the content of the trial..."

She paused, then continued:

"I believe you have seen the hint on the way."

hint?

Elsa thought about it and her face darkened.

"Could it be..."

The brass girl looked up. Could it be that the child had guessed it?

"Could it be a legion of giant guards?!" Elsa exclaimed in surprise.

""

The brass woman fell silent, then shook her head, feeling both amused and helpless.

"If you feel tired, just go back to the bonfire and rest. After all, the bonfire is set up for this kind of duty."

She then leaned against the wall and struck a cool guy or girl pose, looking like she had nothing more to say.

Elsa couldn't think of anything to say. If it were someone else with a clumsy personality, they might try to attack the other person, but unfortunately she wouldn't do that.

After resting for a while, she took the element bottle she had exchanged and headed in the direction pointed by the brass woman.

"Are we about to set off? I wish you success." The voice of the brass woman came from behind. Elsa did not look back, but waved her hand. She felt that the action she was making now would be very handsome.

"I hope you can help him."

She seemed to hear the brass woman mutter something in a low voice, but she didn't hear it clearly. When she turned around, she had returned to cool sister mode.

That's it.

Following the route indicated by the brass woman, we went up, and the scene opened up again. We took the elevator down in the dusk-like light.

The castle in the center of the royal city that he had seen from the observation deck appeared in front of him. A straight road extended forward, but it did not directly connect to the castle. Instead, there was a mechanism like a rotating elevator at the end of the road.

Standing at the edge of the continent and taking a closer look, she understood why the rotating elevator existed, because the castle was so tall and big, so tall that it needed such a mechanism to connect all the roads.

Elsa had a feeling that she would be confused by this mechanism, and it seemed very troublesome just looking at it from here.

But I still have to say that what you see is what you get in the Senn dungeon, and you can go through wherever you can see.

What's more troublesome is that there is a [Bell Guarding Gargoyle] wandering around on the road in front of them. Just one glance and you can tell that this guy is much stronger than the same kind that appeared in the swamp area before. The size alone is several times larger, comparable to the heroic gargoyle of the magic circle.

And at the edge of the road, there was a gargoyle waiting to ambush people.

Elsa's clenched fist loosened again.

"Why can't I do magic?"

At this time, if you have [Invisible Body] and [Make Sound], the exploration journey will be much easier. This is the episode where I miss Roger the most.

How about trying to persuade the brass girl to help you fight the gargoyle?

To be fair, the previous giant guards had already made her completely unwilling to fight anymore, and two more gargoyles

Elsa suddenly realized something and walked towards the edge of the road, muttering to herself, "I can actually jump down here."

There were not entirely "cliffs" on both sides of the road. There was actually a place to stand at the beginning. She jumped down and then set her sights on the beams.

The buildings in Anor Londo are densely packed together, and each roof is connected by a large number of narrow beams that are only wide enough for one person to pass through.

"Perhaps I can get around the gargoyle by using the rafters?"

Thinking of this, Elsa walked onto the nearest beam and finally arrived at another castle. She was on guard against something all the way there.

Because Sean likes to place some knights shooting longbows in such narrow places.

Fortunately, there was nothing here, and she walked over safely.

"It's okay."

"Bang--"

Before she could breathe a sigh of relief and look around, the glass window behind her suddenly shattered, and an enemy covered in a white robe suddenly jumped out and grabbed her into the building.

At this moment, I believe her heart rate must have exceeded 100.

Driven by instinct, Elsa swung her sword to fight back, but the white enemy seemed to be particularly agile. He dodged the sweep of Jian Hai's sword with a backflip and threw a few flying knives like a ninja.

"What a nimble move!"

Elsa tried her best to dodge, but was still scratched by the flying knife. Fortunately, the blade was non-toxic.

The name of the enemy that appears here is [Painting Messenger].

This kind of agile enemy has always been a headache for Elsa, but it would be okay if there was only one enemy.

"when!"

Just as she thought of this, she suddenly heard a sound of something breaking through the air from the side. She subconsciously spun the sword blade to block the flying knife that was attacking her.

"Are there any more enemies?"

When she saw the scene in front of her clearly, Elsa's words stopped abruptly.

There are more than one, and not two, painting messengers.

She was on the top floor of a spacious hall, which was made up of countless beams. If she was not careful, she would fall straight down and die.

And on these intricate beams, there is a painting messenger standing at every intersection, which looks like white waves when viewed from a distance.

There were also painting messengers who jumped back and forth on the beams to show off their skills.

""

Elsa took a deep breath, her hands trembling a little, and said to herself:

"No wonder Anor Londo is in decline. Who would like to live in such a hellish place?"

This is the first famous attraction in Anor Londo, and Gong Qiying named it:

Painting messengers and beams.

Anor Londo is big, and the painting world is small. Gong Qiying tried his best to shorten the journey and make sure that famous attractions appear in groups!
