Chapter 3842 Return
Got off at West District 8.
As Angel headed towards the underground block corresponding to the area, he turned his bird's-eye view towards Gleipnir.
Coincidentally, Gleipnir had just entered the underground block. Judging from the straight-line distance, the two of them were less than 200 meters apart.
However, what surprised Angel was that Gleipnir was alone and the starworm did not follow him.
Angel shifted his gaze and glanced around Modern City, only to find that Starworm was now in a residential area near Prada Media Company.
He was not alone but following Kaushik.
They kept hurrying along, and no one spoke.
For a moment, Angel didn't know what was happening.
Angel thought about it, looked away temporarily, and decided to meet up with Gleipnir first. Perhaps Gleipnir knew the situation.
Angel sped up and entered a nearby factory by turning invisible.
The mill has a privately constructed access road that leads directly to the vicinity of the Eighth Town.
Because it was a private passage, Angel was invisible the whole time in order not to attract attention. He was not discovered along the way and soon arrived at the underground block.
Even one step ahead of Gleipnir, he arrived at the underground cliff where the eighth town was located.
After passing through the cliff, you can see a huge cave.
This cave used to be a reservoir, but later it became polluted. The Flame Knights of the Dark Round Table came here, evaporated the waste water, and after it was transformed into homeless houses, it formed the current Eighth Town.
Although it was his second time here, looking from the cliff at the stacked buildings in the cave, the advertising pontoons floating in the air, and the neon lights with serious light pollution, Ingres still felt a sense of detachment from reality.
Walk down along the "Z"-shaped path along the cliff.
Passing through the digital graffiti "⑧" representing the eighth town on the cliff, Angel soon arrived at the bottom of the cave.
From here, you can already see the gate of the town not far away. It is a town gate made of iron frame, with the words "Eighth Town" written on it by holographic projection and neon lights.
Angel did not walk towards the town gate, but waited at the intersection at the bottom of the cliff.
About two or three minutes later, Angel saw a hunched figure in a black robe walking out from the cliff above.
This figure was none other than Gleipnir.
As soon as she came out, she saw Ingres standing thirty meters below the cliff.
His originally hesitant steps immediately quickened, and despite being a hunched figure, he walked out with an aura as fast as the wind.
Half a minute later, Angel and Gleipnir successfully joined forces.
Because the time for the main mission was almost reaching the critical point, they did not exchange too many pleasantries. They just nodded to each other and walked towards the town gate together.
At the town gate, just like the last time I came, there was a group of punk-clad ghost-fire thugs riding unknown modified vehicles, leaning against an iron pillar.
When I saw someone coming, I subconsciously wanted to step forward to stop them.
However, when they saw Angel's face, one of the young men in the flowered shirt stopped everyone and whispered a few words, and the punk youths around them turned their eyes away from Angel and Gleipnir.
The young man in the flowered shirt saw Angel looking at him and nodded with a smile.
Angel also nodded in greeting, then walked through the gate of the Eighth Town and headed inside.
"Do you know them?" Gleipnir looked at Angel curiously only after entering the streets of the eighth town.
Angel nodded. "I met them before when I came here. They look like street thugs, but they are just trying to make a living. As long as you give them a tip, you can ask them to do some work or get information from them."
Prior to this, in order to participate in the so-called "lottery" on the shining show stage, Angel spent money to buy a number from the young man in the flowered shirt, and also inquired about a lot of information.
It was through the information provided by Com, the "man of destiny", that Angel got to know.
Gleipnir nodded as if he had understood something: "I thought they were going to stop us and rob us."
Angel: "They don't dare to rob us, but they dare to borrow some pocket money from us. However, if we insist on refusing, they will retreat."
This information was told to him by Haman.
There might be petty thefts in the Wandering House, but open robbery is absolutely impossible. The Wandering House is more strict about such behavior than the Fashion Guild.
After all, the Wandering House knows too well the quality of the people in the underground city. If it doesn't take this issue seriously, the underground town will definitely be in chaos.
Angel briefly recounted what happened in the Eighth Town.
Gleipnir was unfamiliar with the underground city, but after listening, he became very interested in the wandering house.
"The Wandering House is actually a subsidiary organization of the Dark Round Table..."
Angel did not hide anything and told Gleipnir the information about the Dark Round Table and the Wandering House.
"The Seven Knights of the Dark Round Table? Are they considered the top fighting force of the Modern City?"
Angel: “Okay.”
Although he is not at the top of the pyramid, he is definitely at the forefront of the pyramid in terms of combat power, surpassing more than 95% of the magicians in Modern City.
"If we divide them by the wizard's level, what level can the Seven Knights reach?" Gleipnir was a little curious. What level can the top combat power of this copy of Modern City reach?
In fact, Angel had thought about Gleipnir's problem before.
But he also found it difficult to answer.
The combat power of the fashion magic system is really confusing.
The "competitions" that Angle had seen so far were mostly various stage competitions. He had never seen a real "battle".
However, after all, Angel is also a "quasi-intermediate magician". After thinking for a moment, he replied:
"If we classify them according to the level of the fashionable magic system, the seven knights of the Dark Round Table are at least intermediate magicians, and it is possible that they are even advanced magicians."
"Intermediate and advanced magicians?" Gleipnir heard the classification of fashion magicians for the first time, and his tone was clearly full of curiosity.
Angel directly told him the grading system that Zuniga had told him before, the upper limit of magic book pages at each level, various promotion tasks... and so on.
After finishing speaking, Angel returned to the previous topic: "Speaking of the level of the Seven Knights, I personally feel that in terms of auxiliary applications, they should have reached the level of formal wizards."
"But in terms of attacking methods, it's probably only at the level of a first or second level apprentice."
Gleipnir also agrees with this. The fashion magic system is an extremely biased system, and many of its fashion magics are very magical.
Even the well-informed Gleipnir was shocked by some of the applications of magic.
But when it comes to direct means of attack, there are very few.
Most of the attacks are carried out through the derivative of auxiliary means.
For example, after Gleipnir completed the random task "Please Let the Glory Overwhelm Me", he obtained the puzzle pieces of "Faceless Monster".
The Faceless Monster's forward-looking ability is "makeup removal": the ability to instantly remove one's own or other people's makeup, restoring the person to their natural look.
No matter how you look at it, this is just an auxiliary ability.
But according to what Gleipnir had heard, this ability was quite rare in the City of Modern, because it could directly affect other people.
In a sense, it can also be considered an "attack" ability.
This is why "Removing Makeup" is considered a rare ability.
If this ability is put into the wizard's system, from the perspective of attack, it is estimated that it can't even be a level 0 trick...
So from this comparison, we can see that the fashion magic system is more of an auxiliary application and has less attacking effect.
"Of course, this is just my personal guess. It is also possible that the Seven Knights also possess formal wizard-level offensive methods, but I don't know about it."
For example, the Flame Knight mentioned earlier evaporated the water in the reservoir. If this flame could be used for attack, it would probably be very powerful.
But whether he can reach the wizard level is hard to say.
However, Angel believes that there must be powerful offensive capabilities in fashion magic.
Auxiliary means do not mean that you cannot attack.
When auxiliary means reach their peak, there is no distinction between auxiliary and offensive. When used on friends, it is auxiliary; when used on enemies, it is offensive.
When one’s ability reaches a certain level, one can transform it with just a thought.
However, this is something only powerful giants possess. For the magicians of Modern City, it is highly likely that they cannot achieve this level.
Gleipnir: "But then again, the difference between low-level, mid-level, and high-level magicians is only ten pages of puzzle upper limit. This seems a bit weak, and it's different from what I think of as the normal level distribution."
As far as Gleipnir knew, any energy system would undergo a qualitative change once it advanced to the next level.
For example, if the comprehensive combat power of a magic apprentice is 10, then the comprehensive combat power of a formal wizard can reach 10. Although it is just a substantial increase in numbers, in fact, the essence and characteristics have undergone earth-shaking changes.
This is what is called "qualitative change".
If the comprehensive combat power of a magic apprentice is 10, the comprehensive combat power of a formal wizard is 100. This is not a qualitative change, but just an ordinary quantitative change.
According to this classification, the low-level, intermediate and advanced magicians in the fashion magic system only have a difference of ten pages of puzzles each time, which makes it difficult to talk about qualitative change.
At least that's what Gleipnir thought.
Angel thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps, the low, intermediate, and advanced levels of the fashion magic system are similar to the first, second, and third levels of the apprenticeship stage."
“Above this, there should be a qualitative change.”
Zuniga had told Angel before that there were magicians above the high level, but Angel did not ask at that time.
If there really is a way, then perhaps the qualitative change is not in the low, medium, or high stages, but in the more advanced magicians?
"Also, even though there is only a difference of ten pages of puzzles, the upper limit of energy points and the number of fashionable magic contained therein are also very different. The magic can also cooperate with each other, which makes the difference even greater."
"I don't dare to say whether it has reached the point of qualitative change. But the ability and strength of a mid-level magician should be far greater than that of a low-level magician."
Gleipnir also knew that Angel was similar to himself, both were new to the fashionable magic system. It was normal for them not to understand it.
Gleipnir sighed, "If we could know which world the Modern City corresponds to and which void coordinates it is located in, perhaps we could understand their energy system in detail."
Unfortunately, as far as Gleipnir knew, even now, Angel had not found any information related to the background world of Modern City.
Even the "hidden NPC" Zuniga will become stuck and freeze as soon as this information is involved.
"I'm looking for it too. If there is a 'dream NPC' in Modern City, I should be able to get information about this world." Angel sighed: "However, there is no sign of dreaming about NPC at the moment."
Gleipnir narrowed his eyes. "This is actually very strange. From what I know of other copies, there is absolutely no intention to block world intelligence."
For example, the copy that Huici had previously identified as extremely dangerous: Ethan's Dream.
With just a little exploration, you will know that the background of this copy comes from the grand plane.
This information is told to you directly in the copy.
Only in this copy of Modern City, all the information related to the corresponding real world seems to have been "cleaned up".
This made Gleipnir feel very strange.
Angel: "I discovered this a long time ago. But I don't know why."
Angel had previously searched the sea of information within the Fruit of Power regarding this issue.
However, the Dream Crystal was in a period of upheaval, and the sea of information was in turmoil, so Angel could only query some surface information. However, the abnormality of the Modern City instance contained extremely "deep" information.
Therefore, even Angel cannot know at present.
"Also, there's actually another special thing about this Modern City instance. It's like a nesting doll."
"Matryoshka?"
Angel nodded. Facing Gleipnir's doubts, he explained: "A copy within a copy, isn't this like nesting dolls?"
It's like concentric circles.
The outer circle is a copy of Modern City.
And the inner circle is... a dark corner.
Dark Corner is also a dungeon, and this dungeon does not appear in the outside world, and its entrance is in the Modern City. As long as you complete the pre-task, you can open the entrance to the Dark Corner.
This is also the only one among all the copies that have appeared so far.
Therefore, there are many strange things in the Modern City dungeon.
Angel has not found any effective clues in the city. Perhaps all the clues are hidden in the dark corners?
Everything can only be confirmed after the dark corner is turned on.
"Let's get back to the topic." Angel and Gleipnir crossed the main road and walked towards Wanming Street, asking, "Why did you come here alone this time? Why didn't the Starworm come?"
Starworm...
When Gleipnir mentioned the starworm, he couldn't help but sigh.
It’s not that she didn’t want to bring the starworm, but Kaushik refused to release him.
