Naruto's Strongest Mercenary - Chapter 531
Chapter 531 Rivera Town
In a dungeon where monsters are rampant, the 18th floor is one of the few safe floors where monsters will not spawn. It is deeply trusted by adventurers and is used as a stronghold and rest area by high-level adventurers who often enter the lower floors.
Compared with other floors where the environment is relatively desolate, the environment here is almost exactly the same as the wilderness on the ground. It is an underground world full of crystals and natural vegetation, so it is also called the “Maze Paradise”.
The first thing that catches the eye is the majestic and vast prairie. A piece of green grassland that is not easy to see even from the ground occupies most of the field of vision. It is also mixed with some crystal aggregates of different sizes and shapes. body.
The area on the left is an extremely wide lake, and the area on the right is a vast forest.
Located near the center of the prairie in the far front, there stands a huge tree with its hole clearly visible. It is like a lighthouse and is used as a reference mark by adventurers to identify the direction.
Looking up from this big tree that stretches straight to the sky, you can see the ceiling very high from the ground, inlaid with countless crystals, like blooming chrysanthemums, growing in every corner.
The colors of these crystals are divided into two types, with the middle one being white like the sun, and the outer part being a gradient of blue, creating a unique and beautiful ‘crystal sky’.
“It’s so beautiful. It turns out that there can be such beautiful scenery in the underground city.”
“Crystal. Many crystals”
Shaya and Ronit, who came to the 18th floor for the first time, were stunned to admire the surrounding environment, while Lyu, who had already been here, was much calmer.
“It is indeed an incredible floor.” Uchiha Kazuhiko was also impressed by the magic of the dungeon, and then turned to Lyu and asked: “Lyu, I heard that there is a town on the eighteenth floor. Do you know the way?”
“Well, it’s on the top of the island.” Liu nodded slightly and pointed to an island in the lake area on the left.
“Let’s go, let’s go to the town here to rest first, and we will officially explore the lower level tomorrow.”
Under the leadership of Liu, the group quickly arrived at the highest point of the island, a beautiful village-type town decorated with white crystals and blue crystals growing on the ground – [Rivera Town].
At the entrance of the town, there is an arch made of wooden pillars and flags, with the words “Welcome to the town of Rivera!” in common language. 】 slogan.
“The people who run this town are not guilds, but adventurers, so there are no complicated regulations or lords here. They all do business according to their own wishes. The only restriction is that they cannot fight in the town.”
After entering the town, Uchiha Kazuhiko and the others looked around frequently, looking for a hotel while listening to Liu’s introduction to the situation in Rivera Town.
This town is located in a vast underground city, surrounded by lakes. The geographical conditions are just right for it to be used as a small fortress. Although the city walls built using terrain, crystals and rocks are not as thick as Orario’s city walls, they are enough to reassure adventurers. .
It was originally a stronghold that the guild intended to set up in the maze. However, it was shelved due to some unknown reasons in the middle of the construction. Therefore, it was taken over by adventurers and gradually built a complete town.
When adventurers attack floors below the 18th floor, they usually use this place as a base, repeating the process of accommodation, exploration, and accommodation until their physical strength and supplies are exhausted, and then they return to the ground to replenish supplies.
Of course, you can also choose to resupply locally in the town, but due to the difficulty of transporting supplies in the underground city, the prices of weapons, props, food and other items here are several times more expensive than on the ground.
Not many family members can afford the high price, and those who can afford it will not waste their money. Only adventurers in emergencies will temporarily buy some in pain.
Although the eighteenth floor is a safe floor, it is still within the maze after all. Therefore, once an abnormal situation occurs, the town will always be tragically destroyed.
I think you should take a look at mtlfanfic.com
Fortunately, there are many adventurers of the third level and above stationed here, and the abnormal situation can be solved and rebuilt quickly. If we count it again and again, the current Rivera Town is probably the 334th generation.
For this reason, there is a strange chilly atmosphere here. The adventurers or supporters walking on the street are fully armed to prepare for emergencies and to respond immediately.
Under Lyu’s guidance, everyone checked into a hotel with a nice environment. After having a dinner with the specialty of the 18th floor [Dungeon Sandwich] as the main food, they each returned to their rooms to rest.
The next day, everyone left Rivera Town and entered the nineteenth floor in high spirits.
…
Bell, who was staying in Orario, completed today’s training and went to the Adventurer’s Guild to report the recent situation to Miss Aegina.
When Miss Eina learned that Uchiha Kazuhiko and others ventured into the lower levels, she made the same suggestion to Bell, who started to venture alone – to find a supporter.
The heartbroken Bell decided to start looking for supporters, so he headed to the central square of the Tower of Babel.
While Bell was thinking about how to recruit supporters, a dog-man girl came to him and asked politely: “Hello, white-haired big brother, do you need supporters?”
Bell saw the familiar face of the other party, and the memory of yesterday in the alley was awakened, and he said in surprise: “Hey… are you the girl from yesterday?”
However, what Bell didn’t expect was that the other party tilted his head to one side cutely and said in confusion: “Brother, have you seen Lily? Lily doesn’t remember.”
“Uh… maybe I remembered it wrong, haha.”
Bell looked at the other person in astonishment, and then realized that the girl in front of him was a dog-human race, while the girl from yesterday was a small human race, and he immediately let out a few slightly embarrassed laughs.
“That’s it.” The dog-man girl who called herself Lily showed an understanding expression and asked again: “So, brother, how are you doing? Do you need any support?”
Bell scratched his cheek and said sheepishly: “If you don’t mind that I am a newcomer at LV.1, I would be happy for you to join my team.”
“I don’t mind.”
Lily looked at Bell’s eyes with a strange light. For her goal, she certainly wouldn’t mind Bell’s status as a novice, and even said that LV.1’s strength was more in line with her wishes.
“Lily’s name is Lilly Luka Erd. You can call me Lily. I belong to the [Soma Familia]. What about you, brother?” Lily briefly introduced herself, and then asked for Bell’s information.
“I am Bell Crane, and I belong to the [Hestia Familia].”
The seemingly innocent Lily made Bell unguarded against her. After answering her questions, he took Lily into the dungeon to start their first cooperative adventure.
