“Holy shit! 3,000 experience points?”
The dungeon was truly different.
Richard even obtained 10% progress…
Would he be able to leave the dungeon when his progress reached 100%?
Richard then allowed Gray to lead his troop into the dungeon while he was deep in thought.
Ten minutes later, Richard looked at the complicated expressions of the villagers around him. His expression was calm.
Everyone was summoned to the open space after the humans chose to surrender.
The main mission of the dungeon was to protect White Tower Town. Richard needed to know more information.
A middle-aged man in his early fifties walked up to Richard under the watchful eyes of two scorpion warriors.
The man had a complicated expression on his face. From the corner of his eyes, he saw the bandaged mummies closely watching the villagers. He let out a long sigh and bowed to Richard.
“Dear Lord, I, Jill Blueleaf, send my regards to you. Thank you for your assistance.”
No matter what, Richard’s troops had saved Blueleaf Village from the demons’ hands. There was no doubt about that.
If the other party’s subordinates were all humans, he might have already asked the residents to prepare food and wine by now.
Richard nodded slightly.
“I’m Twilight City’s Lord Richard. Commander Jill, who designed the buildings here?”
Jill didn’t expect him to ask such a question. He was stunned for a moment and asked with a subtle expression.
“This was designed by the priest of the righteous sect in White Tower Town. The priest is a big shot who walked out of our village…”
Richard was a little enlightened. No wonder a small village could have such a building. It turned out that there was someone behind it. Thereafter, he didn’t hesitate and continued.
“We came from another plane. My territory is also under threat from the outside world. We came to this world to find powerful treasures to increase our strength. I don’t know much about this place. Perhaps, Commander Jill is willing to tell me what happened to those demons and what happened to White Tower Town…”
Jill was indeed relieved when he heard these words. Apart from the strength of Richard’s troops, a large part of the reason he was willing to surrender was that Richard was a human. At the very least, he could talk to them.
It was naturally not safe to leave their fate to others, but what choice did they have?
Jill gave a general overview of the situation after he gathered his words.
This pocket dimension was the 5000th year of the game “Shining Era”. According to the timeline, it had already been more than a thousand years since the current time of the main plane.
There was nothing unreasonable about it based on the setting of the dungeon where the gods destroyed the river of time.
This land belonged to an empire that Richard had never heard of. Perhaps, it had already disappeared in time.
At this time, the world constantly changed, the abyss was broken, and countless demons swept across the main plane.
White Tower Town was the manager of this land. Three days ago, the residents of the village found traces of demons in the valley deep in the forest.
Frightened, they planned to go to White Tower Town to ask for help.
However, a sudden fire lit up the entire forest and blocked their request for help. They can only hold it here out of desperation.
Until yesterday, when the demons found the village…
After Richard understood the general background, he gradually composed a thought.
‘The name of the dungeon is called the Burning Village… Based on the strength of this village, this should be the starting point. The church in White Tower Town, the humans in the village, and the valley where the demons exist… Three out of the four camps have appeared, but there is still no news of the undead.’
Richard further thought, ‘The main clue of the dungeon should be that the burning fire attracted the attention of White Tower Town. In the end, White Tower Town sent people to investigate and found the village slaughtered by the demons. The people of White Tower Town were so terrified that they called for help while they investigated the demons. When they had enough strength, they sent troops to attack the Demon Valley. At this time, the undead appeared, and the four forces started a great war.’
He conjectured, ‘Or, maybe White Tower Town found traces of the demons and didn’t dare to move recklessly, and decided to defend it to death. In the end, the undead also appeared, and together with the demons, they launched an attack on White Tower Town that resulted in the final decisive battle. But no matter what the direction of the plot is, this village and this fire are undoubtedly the beginning.’
Richard continued as his thoughts wandered.
“Commander Jill, I have no ill intentions towards you. But I paid a huge price to come to this plane to find treasures that could make Twilight City powerful. The threats we encountered are no less than those of Blueleaf Village. Commander Jill, do you know…treasures around here?”
Jill’s expression turned bitter as he muttered, “Lord, our small village sends the resources we produce to White Tower Town every month in exchange for the protection of White Tower Town… Right now, there are only basic living resources in the territory, and the amount is very small.”
Richard smiled and waved his hand.
“I’m not interested in these. Only strategic treasures are of the greatest help to us.”
Jill replied with a bitter smile.
“Lord Richard, other than the powerful strategic treasure in White Tower Town, I don’t know where the other treasures are…”
‘White Tower Town has it?’
Richard was in deeper thought. He changed the topic after he took note of this matter.
“What about the troop lairs in your village?”
“Lord Richard, there’s only one lair that can recruit Ordinary 3-star swordsmen. If you need it, you can take it away at any time…”
Richard shook his head in disappointment. What can be the use of Ordinary 3-stars human swordsmen?
An activated bandaged mummy could take out two to three squads.
Ignoring Jill, Richard walked up to the gathered residents. His sharp gaze swept the surroundings. When he saw the anxiety on their faces, he spoke in a clear voice.
“The demons are encroaching on this world. Danger can happen at any time. And the power in my hands is not enough to eliminate the threat of the demons. I need your help. If anyone knows the whereabouts of strategic treasures or high-level troop lairs, I’m willing to spend a lot of money to buy them…”
Richard wanted to see if he could trigger the second mission.
He couldn’t kill a few squadrons of demons. Other than experience, there shouldn’t be any gains, right?
Just as Richard thought this village really didn’t have any gains, a young man suddenly pushed aside the crowd beside him and stood out.
“I know!” The young man sobbed. “Let go of me, I know!”
A few of the young man’s companions suddenly covered his mouth as soon as he said this. However, the young man ignored them and shouted.
This unexpected scene immediately attracted Richard’s attention. With a wave of his hand, he asked the bandaged mummy to come forward and bring the young man out.
“You know?”
Jill’s expression repeatedly changed when he saw this scene. In the end, he sighed deeply.
“Lord, this is my son, Barry. He was the first one to discover the traces of the devil…”
Richard ignored him and looked at the young man who was approaching.
“I like to deal with smart people. Your name is Barry, right? You can tell me now.”
Barry gritted his teeth.
“Lord, I know about a very powerful strategic treasure. I will tell you everything I know, but please save Lucy…”
Richard’s eyes immediately lit up.
