Looking forward to another world.

Chapter 650 "Rivera"

Dungeon, level 18.

As the first safe floor of the dungeon, it is also considered by many people to be the most beautiful paradise in the dungeon. Although it is not that Li Ge has never been here, he has never had the opportunity to seriously appreciate the scenery here.

When he came here for the first time, Li Ge passed by with the family's expedition team, so he didn't stay here much, and continued to go deep into the dungeon with his family's companions, and left here soon.

When he came here for the second time, Li Ge was looking for someone to go deep into the dungeon, and was going to single-handedly challenge Ais, the master of Udaios on the 37th floor, so he passed by in a hurry, and soon went to the 19th floor.

It was not until this time that Li Ge stepped into this floor called "Maze Paradise" for the third time, and finally had the aftertaste to appreciate the scenery here.

"It's hard to imagine that this is an underground city."

Walking out of the cave with a slope and entering the 18th floor, Li Ge frankly uttered such words.

At this time, the boys and girls who were walking together were standing in a grassland-like terrain, with their backs facing the cave passage leading to the 17th floor, and welcomed the warm light from above.

Ahead is a forest with sparsely grown trees.

Above is the ceiling of this floor, with countless crystals growing like a dense forest.

The sun-like dazzling crystal block is exuding soft light, forming a sky, and the brightness of the crystal will change with the passage of time, thus forming time periods such as "morning", "day" and "night".

It is daytime on the 18th floor. These beautiful luminous crystals can also be said to be the characteristics of this floor, not just the ceiling, but there are such crystals growing in every corner of the entire floor, even in the forest. There are jagged crystal columns growing in the gaps between trees and on both sides of the forest road, which looks quite dreamy.

"The floor master... didn't show up."

Ace spoke softly about it.

The floor master on the 17th floor is also the first floor master in the dungeon, a super-large monster of classification level Lv. 4 --- Goliath.

The location of this monster is the grotto where Li Ge and Ai Si just set foot.

In the cave room where the floor master Goliath is, the passage leading to the 18th floor is at the end.

In other words, if you want to enter the 18th floor, you must pass through the room where the floor master Goliath is.

Li Ge and Ai Si had already prepared to fight against the owner of this floor, but when they came to Goliath's room, Goliath did not show up, replaced by many people who haunted the 17th floor monster.

That scene was exactly the same as when Li Ge had just returned to this world and broke into Lord Udaios' room on the 37th floor.

Of course, the highest classification level of general monsters haunting the 17th floor is only Lv.2. In front of Li Ge and Ai Si, monsters of this level are not much stronger than grasshoppers that casually pop out from the street.

So, the two rushed into the cave room at the same time, one on the left and the other on the right. It took ten seconds to quickly eliminate all the monsters, and then swaggered into the cave that was vacated on the deepest high wall. The passage there has come to the 18th floor.

Ais seemed to be a little concerned about the absence of Goliath, the lord of the floor, so Li Ge, who was looking up at the crystal forest on the ceiling, looked away.

"It should have been knocked down, right?" Li Ge said, "After all, the floor master's room is the only way to the 18th floor. If there are high-level adventurers with good strength who are going to enter here, then the other party will take care of the room easily." A giant monster is also a normal thing."

Unlike ordinary monsters, the birth of a floor master usually takes a long time.

Like Goliath, if it is knocked down, it usually takes about two weeks to be born again.

It is precisely because of this that when Li Ge returned to this world and appeared in Lord Udaios' room on the 37th floor, the vicious skeleton monster classified as Lv.6 did not appear.

From Li Ge's departure to Li Ge's return, only four or five days have passed in this world, and this time is naturally not enough to give birth to another Udaios.

"Let's go to Rivera Town."

Li Ge, who had seen enough of the scenery, said something to Aisi, and walked into the forest.

"........."

Ai Si followed silently, as if Li Ge was the leader and followed him step by step.

The two crossed the entire forest and prairie, went to the lakeside on the west of the 18th floor, and passed a bridge that was obviously built by manpower, and boarded the giant rock island in the center of the lakeside.

On the highest point of the island, on a very conspicuous cliff, there is a beautiful village dotted with white crystals and blue crystals growing on the ground.

"This is Rivera?"

Li Ge looked at the arched entrance made of wooden pillars and flags, and muttered curiously.

——"Rivera".

This is the name of the great female adventurer who originally founded the town on the safe floors of the dungeon.

The great female adventurer was named Rivera Santilini.

To commemorate her, the only town built in an underground city will be named after her.

However, although this town enjoys a high reputation among adventurers, it has also been dubbed "black market", "rogue town", "gathering place of lawless people" and other extremely ugly nicknames.

"I too... haven't been here for a long time."

Aisi talked beside Li Ge, and seemed to have noticed Li Ge's curiosity.

"It's my first time here."

Li Ge smiled at Ais like this, walked through the arch and entered the town.

All the buildings here are temporary constructions made of wood or drapery.

There are cave-like shops and inns, which are built using natural horizontal holes or cavities in the rock.

There are vendors here and there that look like stalls, and those just find a place to sit down and set up a stall, which looks extremely simple.

Since this town is built on a cliff, there are steep slopes everywhere, and there are steps made of logs everywhere.

In this town with a well-proportioned topography, there are lush vegetation and crystal pillars growing everywhere.

As for those humble buildings, they are almost all shops.

Weapon shops, item shops, narrow hotels, and a few taverns, these shops mainly serve adventurers, creating a landscape similar to Olalie's Adventurer Street.

The only people walking on the street were adventurers and a few supporters. They were heavily armed, and they were clearly high-level adventurers.

After all, this is the middle level, and the adventurers who can haunt here are basically Lv.2 and above adventurers, unless someone brings them here, otherwise, here, the low-level adventurers that can be seen everywhere on the surface are in the minority.

The arrival of Li Ge and Ai Si seemed to make these senior adventurers pay attention.

"It's [Sword Fairy] and [Crafting Swordsman]..."

"The first-level adventurer of the Loki family..."

"Olalie's strongest magic swordsman and strongest female swordsman..."

"...Why are these two people here?"

While whispering to each other, the adventurers quickly lowered their heads, suppressing the arrogance of the senior adventurers, and the eyes they cast on Li Ge and Ai Si were full of awe.

First-level adventurers, this level of adventurers are located in the town of Rivera, where advanced adventurers can be seen everywhere, and they are also strong at the apex, and it is difficult to even meet them.

Now that I suddenly saw the two influential figures who have been making a fuss in various senses recently, these high-level adventurers naturally couldn't put on airs, and some even walked away quickly, as if they were worried about accidentally causing some trouble. look.

Aisi seemed to be used to the appearance of these people, and Li Ge didn't pay attention, but looked at the surrounding shops.

"Sure enough, as mentioned in the rumors, the things here are very expensive."

Li Ge shook his head as if laughing.

“Things here have always been expensive…”

Even Ace said so.

Because it is not easy to secure supplies in the dungeon, no matter how the people here drive up prices, their things can be sold.

Whether it's drinking water, food, or even weapons and elixirs, all kinds of materials needed in the dungeon exploration activities can be found here, but they are all sold at super expensive prices.

This is not a question of being twice as expensive, but several times more expensive than the same item sold on the ground, even one or two more zeros.

People who run businesses in Rivera Town are determined that adventurers cannot carry too many supplies into the dungeon, and at critical times, they will be unable to continue exploring these pain points due to the depletion of supplies, and willfully increase the price of goods. to an unbelievable level.

However, if adventurers want to explore in the dungeon for a long time, it is not enough to buy supplies here, because it takes too much effort and time to go back to the surface, and the exploration efficiency is quite low.

What's more, if the adventurers harvested a lot of loot on the floors below the 18th floor, causing heavy burdens on their bodies, which would affect their exploration, they would have to take the loot to this floor for disposal.

In view of this, the things here are sold at a super expensive price, but the purchase price when buying the goods is extremely low, so as to obtain huge profits.

Adventurers often use this base when they are raiding floors below the 18th floor for a long time, repeating the process of lodging, exploring, selling loot, lodging, and exploring again until the exploration is over and they are ready to return to the surface.

For the sake of exploration and strategy, these adventurers can only accept the reality of being squeezed by the merchants in Rivera Town, making it a famous black market and rogue town.

As far as what Li Ge saw now, he could clearly see that in the surrounding shops, the shop assistants not only did not enthusiastically attract customers, but sat still with a sneer on their faces.

They are also adventurers, but their faces look like robbers. No wonder this place is considered a rogue town.

Of course, they also saw Li Ge and Ai Si, and the sneer on their faces froze at the moment they saw it. Although they didn't show fear like the adventurers on the street, they had a kind of cringe Feeling, as if worried about something, in exchange for rustling commotion.

"...Is it because a Lv.4 adventurer was killed here before, so these guys overreacted when they saw the first-level adventurer appear?"

Li Ge was thoughtful.

Suddenly, Aisi on the side said something.

"arrive."

Hearing this, Li Ge came back to his senses and saw a cave appearing on the rough rock wall.

"This is the tavern designated by the magician, right?"

Li Ge glanced at the entrance of the cave, where there was a signboard with the name "Golden Cellar Pavilion" written in common language, and a red arrow pointing diagonally downwards, and wooden stairs leading to the inside of the cave were set up.

"...I didn't even know there was a tavern here."

Ais also seemed to be a little surprised looking at this place, and became a little curious about the tavern designated by the mysterious magician.

"The location is really secret."

Li Ge found that the two of them had deviated from the main street and entered a dimly lit alley.

"Then... do you want to go in?"

Ace asked.

"of course."

Li Ge spoke calmly, stepped on the stairs first, and walked down.

Not long after, the two reached the bottom and entered the tavern hall without even a door.

There is a crystal column with yellow light growing here, the space is not too big, surrounded by black rocks, only a few tables and chairs are placed in the center, which is very simple like the buildings outside.

"...There are a lot of people."

Ais looked at the inside of the tavern and gave such a speech.

As she said, there are actually quite a few guests in this remote tavern, with adventurers sitting at five tables, some drinking here, some playing cards here, only the bar in the corner of the tavern Empty, with wine cabinets filled with bottles of various colors.

Before the arrival of Li Ge and Ai Si, the place was still full of laughter and excitement.

But after Li Ge and Ai Si arrived, the sound here suddenly decreased by more than [-]%.

No matter whether it was the human drinking or the orc playing cards, they all lost their voices at this moment.

They watched Li Ge and Ai Si walking down the wooden stairs, and their expressions all changed.

"------"

Quiet.

An oppressive silence.

The first-level adventurer of the Loki family is also the famous Olali strongest magic swordsman and strongest female swordsman. The appearance of this pair seems to scare everyone here.

"I……"

Ai Si took a step forward, just about to say something, but was stopped by Li Ge.

Li Ge cast his eyes on one of the positions in the tavern, and Aisi also looked over.

There, there was an adventurer wearing a white robe and a hoodie, whose appearance was not clear, but who could vaguely tell that it was a woman sitting quietly.

Ai Si took a closer look, only to find that the other party exudes a good sense of presence, and there is also a faint sense of mystery and elegance. She even peeked out a few strands of water-blue hair from the other party's head-down hood. color.

"Aqua blue hair..."

Ace's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that this person is...

When Ai Si recognized this person's identity, Li Ge also walked into the tavern and came in front of him.

"Let's get to know each other."

Li Ge smiled lightly, but what he said brought the atmosphere in the tavern to a freezing point.
