"Ooooh, that's quite a convenient skill to have!"
The strong wind pressure flickered away, and what appeared in front of us was an iron door that was locked with a lock.
It seems that the technology used here is not so high, but thinking about it, usually this kind of place would not use any high-end automatic door or something, otherwise why do the protagonists who infiltrate the game like to use ventilation ducts so much?
But why did we skip a big part of the ladder-climbing episode?
Usually this is the kind of time when you should be delighted to look up at fat times, and this kind of daily should be thought of as a logical scenario for the general strategy map.
But this time was spoiled by a witty remark from Tai Shi Xi.
"Phil, what's the maximum radius of your ice totem? Can't we just go straight up as an elevator?"
That's a good point. I can't believe I'm speechless!
With a silent glance at the resourceful Tai Shi Xi, I could only get everyone to stand in one piece and let use the ice totem to topple up.
At this point, I could only take silent comfort in the fact that even if I climbed the ladder, I probably wouldn't be able to see anything, after all, everyone was wearing armor or magic robes, and the only person with normal clothes was still wearing hot pants... And with so many of us, the chances of me getting up the ladder behind her in line were pretty low, so I'd better be nice and Sven at a time like this.
"This kind of tier is just mean~"
Kristina smiled slightly and pulled out something that looked like lipstick from inside her pocket. She pointed it at the lock and pressed the button on the end.
There was a sound like something burning, and then the lock slowly turned black where the key was inserted, then turned to powder and floated down.
The lock also slid open with a click.........
Tossing the lock to the side, Christina smiled and pulled the door open, then made an inviting gesture.
"Well, this way is the exit."
The door looks like it's outside of the forest.
But I haven't really seen the place yet, what the hell... Even if I think about it here, it's useless, right?
I looked at the crowd and took the lead.
But........
I felt a very unusual sensation the moment I was just out of his house, and just as I tried to turn around, a powerful shock came from behind me and shook me whole!
"I..."
My mind flashed with countless cursing words, but unfortunately none of them could be uttered before the dazzling scene in front of me made me clench my teeth to prevent biting my tongue.
My body felt like a kite with its strings broken as it crashed through the air, even a roller coaster had never felt so exciting.
At least roller coasters don't make you bounce around like a pinball, and if it weren't for my body's defense, I'd probably be dead by now, right?
But the strip of blood that was bobbing around in my eyes was also dwindling, and it didn't look like it would be long before it was resurrected.
"Ah!"
Eventually, my body slammed into something and stopped.
I tried to open my eyes, but all I saw was a scene with blood in it, probably because my eyes were already covered in blood, right?
Reaching up and wiping the blood from my face, I looked in the direction where I had just sent the impact.
My eyes struggled to see, and the scene in front of me was just too much to believe. A mushroom cloud was slowly rising in the distant sky, stretching from that direction to where everything near me became unnameable.
Oh God...this....
They actually developed a nuclear bomb?
But why would they want to detonate it here? Are you crazy?
What does it have to do with what happened before?
I felt like my brain was a jumbled mess of information, and I couldn't digest it at all anymore.
But my instincts told me that staying here was definitely not a good option, and quickly applying a few healing spells to my body, I confirmed the directions on top of the mini-map and quickly ran towards the direction of the nearest village.
-------- Plot reading in progress-------.
Above the clouds, World Sauce, sitting in a transparent room, stood up sharply and looked down.
After a long, silent look, World Sauce sighed.
"Another... failure? If this doesn't even work, it looks like there's no way out... This place will be abandoned soon, right..."
Shaking her head in frustration, World Sauce sat in her original spot while scratching her head.
"Well~ That's fine, anyway, it's been so long and I'm used to it...right, brother?"
World Sauce looked at the sky and asked, then smiled a little.
"Just let me... keep watching~"
------ Fast forward 6 hours in time -------.
The year 2448 of the White Magic Calendar.
The thousand-year-old Grey Academy and Doge Academy completely disappeared from the Western Continent.
Apart from a portion of the students who were still alive, the others were forever slumbering beneath the ruins.
And it was only two hours later that I heard the news in the town's tavern, when I was wearing the mercenary's leather armor from before, and carrying a sword behind my back pretending to be a normal mercenary.
Even if I couldn't fool the [Snake Eyes], I still had to at least fool the others.
After all... so many things happened, plus the other party's pointless act at the end.
The other party would never send me out of the explosion without meaning to, the other party was definitely planning something.
After all, I was an existence that couldn't die, so there was no point in doing so.
So the meaning must be somewhere else.
However, although I don't know if it has anything to do with this, just now, there was a news from outside that made the entire continent very shocked.
The East and West continents are officially at war.
Actually, this isn't something shocking to me.
According to what [Snake Eyes] has been doing behind the scenes, that's actually what they're doing, right?
Plus, we know what the other side is up to for a long time, so there's no stopping it at all ah.
"Boss, give me another cup of [Ling Frost Nightmare]."
I pushed my empty cup as I pulled out a silver coin and placed it on the table.
"Here it is! Young man, I'm not lying when I say that my secret drink is good, right?"
"It is, it tastes simply fantastic, it's definitely court grade!"
"Hahaha, young man you're overpraised."
The owner of this shop was a 65-year-old uncle, and his flowery white beard made him seem quite cheerful.
But through his title, I do know that he used to be a mercenary swordsman with a rank of 20.
[Shredder]
This title doesn't look good at all.
"But boy, this isn't the time to keep drinking here, is it?"
Probably feeling that 70 copper coins was a bit much to charge a silver coin for a drink, the other party was putting down his cup when he kindly reminded him.
"Now that the news of the war has arrived, aren't you planning to join the army or take the opportunity to join a large mercenary group to make a career of your own?"
"Career?"
I laughed bitterly, recalling my own wanted poster I had just seen on top of the network terminal.
"That kind of stuff...it doesn't make sense."
"Yeah? It seems like young man you've encountered a lot of bad things lately, that's right, there have been some weird things happening here lately. Even people from the Eastern Continent came to our place and blew up our academy, this is simply the scariest thing I've heard in all the years I've lived."
"Yeah...you're right, I probably really need to go find something to do."
Finishing the rest of my drink in one gulp, I stood up.
"It feels like, suddenly, there's a lot less unnecessary responsibility."
"Eh?"
"Nothing, just talking to myself..."
I smiled as I walked out of the tavern.
As soon as I walked out, I saw several groups of soldiers running past, followed by a group of wolf cavalry and heavy knights.
That military emblem looks like it should be from the Aether Empire, and speaking of which, I don't know what's going on over there with Princess Snow.
........
No way, there's only one place I can think of and go to now.
