Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 501 Drink freely
The world of Dicuo, 28th floor of the dungeon.

"So... so delicious! Isn't this a dark mushroom? Why does it taste so good? And how come he didn't die even though he was seriously injured? Is this the magic of ancient technology?"

The rich aroma of barbecue wafted from the forest. In a lush forest, an Amazon girl from Loki's family looked at the grilled mushroom skewers in her hands with shining eyes and an incredible expression. Then she wiped her saliva and looked at the large piece of mushroom meat that was being grilled.

"Hey, Diona, be a little more restrained. Everyone is watching us. Are you planning to eat it all by yourself?"

Seeing this, Finn, who was standing by, coughed twice and reminded the other person to be a little more careful.

"Tsk, I know, I know, Captain, you are such a fool. We have been eating dry food for a whole month down there!"

"You... Oh, forget it, just be a little more restrained."

Finn looked at the Amazon girl with an unconvinced look on her face, rubbed his temple helplessly, sighed, then glanced at the four figures standing on the cliff in the distance, his eyes moving slightly.

"Livilia, you say...are the things they told us true?"

The leader of the dwarf tribe stared at the figures on the cliff and asked the green-haired elf wizard beside him as if talking to himself.

“…I don’t know, but my intuition tells me that they didn’t lie to us.”

After hearing this, Livilia was silent for a while and then expressed her own judgment.

As a member of the royal family of the elves, she has lived for a long time and prides herself on being able to deal with any unexpected events calmly. However, the number of unexpected events they encountered in this month even made her wonder if there was something wrong with her.

"Divine punishment... Black dragon... Shelter... The power of the world... If these are all made-up stories, the evidence is too strong."

Finn said, sighed, lowered his head, stared at the flickering campfire in front of him, and fell silent.

This world is being eroded by the power of the abyss. The will of the world is trying its best to suppress it with its own power. Killing the black dragon is to release the world power that it has devoured to the greatest extent...

"So, Finn, what are you going to do?"

"Follow Daoji and the others. You and I have seen the situation in the dungeon. If we leave those monsters alone, it will lead to bad consequences no matter how we think about it."

"Besides, since all of Freya's family have come down this time, it would be too rude to retreat here."

Finn said calmly, looking at the campfire in front of him. Just as he was about to get up and find a place to train, an excited voice suddenly sounded from the woods:

"Woo woo! Ai Si, I finally see you again! Come on, let me see if Ai Si is hurt?!"

Suddenly, a slender figure jumped out from the shadow of the woods, threw herself onto the golden-haired sword girl who was eating grilled mushroom meat with a focused expression, and rubbed against her arms affectionately.

"Ah, that's the feeling. As expected, Ai Si's kiss is the best. I miss it so much!"

"Lord...Loki! Why are you here?!"

Incessant mumbling came from the mouth of the figure that suddenly appeared, and Finn and others on the side widened their eyes after seeing who it was.

"I can't help it. Who told me to care too much about Ai Siqin's situation?"

"But...but..."

"Don't worry, don't worry. I'm not the only one coming down this time. That bitch Freya came along too. After all, in this situation, who would still abide by the rule that God forbids people from entering the dungeon at will?"

The red-haired, squinty-eyed woman called Loki spread her hands, looking indifferent, and then looked at Finn beside her. Her squinting eyes suddenly opened a crack, reflecting the appearance of the members of Loki's family in front of her, and she said:

"Besides, you all need to upgrade, right? You can't help those monsters in your current state."

As he said this, the words in Finn's mouth got stuck in his throat and he fell silent.

"By the way, if Lord Loki is here, then everyone else should be here too, right?"

"Oh, we're here. We're setting up camp over there."

Loki, who was wrapped around the blonde sword girl like an octopus and was tilting her head to think about what was happening, pointed in the direction he came from and continued to rub against Ais with a silly smile on his face.

Finn saw this and showed a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He then looked at Livilia beside him and said:
"I'll go over there and take a look at the situation. I'll leave this place to you for now."

"Ah."

Livilia nodded slightly and agreed. Just as she was about to ask her Lord God a question, a piercing sonic boom suddenly exploded:

Peng——! !

I saw a dark figure flying out from the camp in the distance at an unimaginable speed, crossing a distance of thousands of meters in a few seconds, and landing on a cliff in the distance.

"That is……"

"It seems that this is the 'black sword' that Mr. Daoji and his men mentioned."

Finn said, looking at the five figures standing on the cliff, squinting his eyes, a strange color flashing in his eyes.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side.

"Tsk, you're finally here. Aren't you too slow?"

"When we were preparing to leave, Loki and Freya suddenly showed up and delayed us for a while."

On the cliff, Xin Lailai, who had landed steadily next to Ling Yuzi, explained the situation calmly.

Loki would have been fine, but Freya's sudden entry into the dungeon scared the entire Freya family, and they immediately planned to take Freya back to the ground. If he hadn't been holding them back, things would have been a mess.

"To be honest, this is quite consistent with her personality..."

Upon hearing this, Yamu shrugged his shoulders slightly and complained that in the original book, Freya was set up to be the type who would not care about anything when she got angry, so it was not surprising that she would do such a thing.

"So, how's the Black Dragon Armor over there?"

"It's all here, take a look for yourself."

As Xin Lailai spoke, he threw out four pitch-black objects from the storage space and let them hit the ground heavily with a dull thud.

After seeing the description of the item in front of him, Yamu's eyes lit up:
……

Introduction: Made of special materials made from "Black Dragon Heart Scales" and "Hard Skin of the Alien Goliath", the armor is just an appearance and does not have any equipment effect.

Price: 10% Source of the World
……

"Tsk tsk, it's really amazing that you could think of this kind of armor that's not an equipment type." Yamu looked at the "Black Dragon Heavy Armor" in front of him and praised it with satisfaction in his eyes.

The scales of the black dragon and the hard hide of Goliath are indeed top-notch legendary materials. If they are made into proper protective gear that can be equipped on the equipment bar, the effect will definitely be extremely powerful.

——However, that would also give rise to an obvious problem.

——That means they don’t have enough equipment slots.

As pioneers, their equipment is basically the best in the same tier, and unlike ordinary contractors who use whatever they have, every piece of equipment on them can be said to be configured according to their own needs.

Taking Xin Lailai himself as an example, the five armor slots on his body are now directly occupied by the three-piece set of Transcendence + Deep Sea Dream + Ghost Scale Sky Feather, and they are all fully enhanced + full of gems.

According to his current equipment, even if he chooses to remove the Deep Sea Dream that has the least impact on his strength, he will immediately lose the basic gain of the "Heavy Blade Gem" + the basic gain of 1 "Vitality Gem" + the set gain of 3 "Vitality Gems".

Add to that the +13 "Deep Sea Dream" itself, and using so many benefits to exchange for a piece of black dragon armor that is not enhanced and not inlaid with gems. It is hard to say whether it will actually improve his life-saving ability.

Although the situations of the Death Bearer, Yamu, and Dao Ji were not as extreme as his, the five pieces of armor on their bodies were also difficult to change at will. At this time, it was obviously not appropriate to forcibly try to make black dragon scales and Goliath's hard skin into armor with notarization effect.

So, we have this scene:
——Since it is not suitable to be made into equipment, then just process the materials into the shape of armor.

This is Xin Lailai's plan. He no longer seeks to make the materials of black dragons and alien goliaths into special protective gear that can enjoy various brand bonuses, can be equipped on the equipment bar, and have various equipment effects. Instead, he directly processes the materials into the appearance of armor and puts them on the body.

After all, reality is not a game. The reason why everyone in Paradise only wears five pieces of armor is simply because the equipment slot provided by the brand can only be equipped with five pieces of armor certified by Paradise.

——However, this restriction only applies to equipment that has been notarized by the park.

As for things that are not officially classified as protective gear, if you want, you can take a piece of iron plate and make it into the shape of armor, then put a hundred or eighty layers of it on yourself and turn yourself into Iron Man. The park actually doesn't care about you.

Of course, if the black dragon material is really made into armor, it may not be as bad as he said. After all, the armor positions in Paradise can be changed with just a thought. In theory, it is entirely possible to achieve the effect of two pieces of equipment taking effect in succession by quickly loading and unloading equipment.

But the problem is, it's okay to do this normally, but if you really encounter a life-and-death battle and dare to spend extra energy on switching equipment, it's basically the same as committing suicide.

——Therefore, no matter from which angle you look at it, simply processing the black dragon materials into non-equipment armor is the best solution for them at the moment.

Even without the equipment effect, the ridiculous defense of 75 points of the Black Dragon material alone is enough to make more than 95% of the third-level strength attacks become a joke.

You have to know that this level of defense means that without using the Nirvana, even if he has maxed out all the bonuses in all aspects, he will still need at least five fully charged Dominant Slashes to break it. This is because his Dominant Slashes are accompanied by the power of the devil.

It sounds exaggerated, but this is the top legendary material. This material is comparable to all the fourth-level extreme equipment. If you really count it, it should be more outrageous that he can break it with five fully charged Domination Slashes.

"This is for the deceased, this is for Brother Daoji, and this is for you. Try them all on to see if they fit. Especially Brother Daoji, you haven't measured the real size, so the possibility of the size being wrong is the greatest."

On the cliff, Xin Lailai divided out the "Black Dragon Heavy Armor" corresponding to each person and explained.

This type of equipment is not as convenient as the protective gear certified in the park. Once it is put on, it will automatically adapt to the most suitable size. Once there is a slight mistake in the size, it basically needs to be reprocessed and adjusted.

Otherwise, if the size of the equipment affects your movement during a battle, even for just a moment, it could mean the difference between life and death.

"Not bad, it fits me well."

"Same."

"Fellow Daoist Black Sword is thoughtful. I have no problem with that either."

Yamu and the other two quickly put on the "Black Dragon Heavy Armor", stretched their hands and feet a few times, checked it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.

The lining of these armors is all made of Goliath's hard skin and slime's refined soft rubber. The inner layer looks like a highly stretchable leather jacket and will not affect the movement at all.

The outer layer of armor made of black dragon scales also fully considers its application in various situations. Take the arm joints as an example. Even if the arm is bent at a 30% angle, there will be no sense of blockage at all. It can be said that dexterity has been achieved to the extreme.

"Speaking of which, it feels like we look a lot more like a team now that we're dressed like this, right?"

After everyone had changed their clothes, Yamu looked at Xin Lailai, who had already put on heavy armor, and Zhisei and Daoji, and joked.

"Indeed, it would be even more perfect if you could dye your golden hair black."

Xin Lailai stroked his chin, looked at everyone, and stopped his gaze on Yamu's sexy golden hair that was specially shaped with hairspray. He said:

"How about you dye your hair, brother Yamu? Otherwise, if a blond suddenly appears among the three of us who have pure black hair, it will be too eye-catching no matter how you look at it."

"Bah, dye your hair for nothing. My hair was originally black, but after becoming an agent, I was affected by the boundary thunder and it became like this."

"Really?"

"If you don't believe me, go ask 04296 yourself, or find two newspapers that record his past appearances and see for yourself whether he had golden or black hair when he was at a lower level."

"Besides, doesn't your wife have black hair too? If you can, ask her to dye her hair too!"

"What do you know? Ling Yuzi and I are one, so we have to have white hair. This way, we can have a sense of couple, okay?"

"C, you idiot! Are you playing double standards here?"

"What's wrong with double standards? Come and fight if you don't agree!"

"What's the point of only being able to solve problems with violence? If you have the ability, come and compete with me in drinking!"

"Okay, come on, I'll pay for the drinks. I want to see how many drinks you can drink today!"

"No problem! Ling Yuzi, let go first. If I can't get this guy down with drinking today, I'll just write his name upside down!"

On the cliff, the black-haired young man and the blond young man were competing against each other. Finally, the blond young man snorted coldly, sent out two wine bowls, and threw out a wine jar that was as tall as a person. The black-haired young man was not to be outdone. He used a magic chip to replace the palm-sized small bowl with a large bowl as wide as a human face. He scooped up a bowl and drank from it.

"Haha, you two Taoist friends are in a good mood. If that's the case, I'll mix a cup with you too!"

Dao Ji on the side saw this, smiled happily, pinched his sword formula, and the extremely sharp sword intent burst out. After compressing the sword energy in his hand into a bowl shape, he also scooped up a bowl and drank it.

"..."

The man who held the dead man was silent for a moment as he looked at the three people who were drinking and having fun without saying anything. Ling Yuzi, who was standing beside him, saw this and said in a low voice:
"Sister Death Bearer, how about we two go to the camp first? Let the three of them stay here first?"

After hearing what Ling Yuzi said, the man holding the deceased turned around, glanced at the girl, then glanced at the three people who were sitting on the ground drinking happily, nodded slightly, and turned to walk down the mountain.

Seeing this, Ling Yuzi smiled, pointed his toes, and floated up like a feather. He landed next to the person holding the deceased, and walked away side by side.

In the distance, the campfire flickered, and a few fireflies rose from the shade of the trees, floating above the forest, like a starry sky.

Along the mountain road, the evening breeze blew away the rich aroma of wine. Only three people were left sitting on the cliff, drinking to their heart's content, as if they were immortals on the mountain, so carefree.

It was a good night.
