Chapter 64: Chapter 45: Disaster Object of Unknown Level
Translator: 549690339
Hidden plots are quite common in the Alternate Dimension.
Perhaps it’s like the difficulty level of duplications in past life games. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
The first time you enter, it’s at a standard difficulty, and then it moves up to elite, nightmare, hell, and so on.
Constant exploration and unlocking of high difficulty scenarios.
Usually, this is good news for treasure hunters.
Because triggering hidden plots often means better rewards at settlement, and it may also discover hidden treasures.
Leonard Churchill had previously experienced this in Space 407.
But this time, it’s clearly different.
Based on the information from other hunters, this was just a low-level alternate dimension where skeletons are eliminated.
But now it seems that monsters are not just skeletons.
“Secret-keepers, immortal?”
Leonard Churchill caught the keywords and pondered for a moment.
If the person who set up this scenario thinks that increasing the level of difficulty in the dimension can threaten the life of Governor Miller then it naturally isn’t simple.
“Choosing a maze from which you can’t escape, and then killing people with monsters, this is indeed a permanent solution.”
Leonard quickly figured it out.
He looked at the walls of the maze again without delay, and walked towards the depths of the maze.
No matter what the reasons and consequences, what he needs to do now is stay away from the Governor.
If it were outside, Leonard Churchill, as a Card Master Apprentice, felt that the chance of being implicated and killed was highly probable.
But this is in the Alternate Dimension.
The will of the space does not change with the individual.
Even the person who set the scenario had just used the space rules to create a layout.
Indeed, this assassination is going to be extremely dangerous.
But it’s not aimed at him.
As long as one stays away from the Governor, the danger could be reduced by ninety-nine percent.
Leonard clearly saw the current situation and decisively chose to flee.
He had not taken a few steps, when the sound of fighting echoed throughout the maze.
“Boom, boom, boom...”
Then, she didn’t forget to banter lightly, “By that logic, everyone is fated to die. Might as well just die early. Come on, since your ability is so powerful, let’s see what my love life has in store.”
“I can’t do divination.”
“Predictions are the same thing. Come on, predict for me, will I meet a world-class hero... hmm, also has to be handsome...”
“Seriously?”
“Hmm.”
“You might be disappointed. I think... you’re likely to end up alone.”
“Blech! You’re really asking for a beating. Can’t you say something better? What a broken ability, it’s useless.”
The two chatted off-topic for a while.
The cloaked man just casually laughed, not retorting, and got back to the topic, “At least from the current information we have, anyone who has gotten a hold of that ‘Disaster Object’ will suffer misfortune. The first ones to find it were the Thunder Hammer Mercenary Corps, 90% of them died upon leaving the ruins. And those who made it back alive have already been completely silenced by Stan Miller. Later, six people came into contact with it one after another, but all of them died for various reasons. Now, even Governor Miller is no exception. It’s like there’s a bizarre fate tied to it. What’s even stranger is that nobody knows what it is.”
After that, he jeered, “Having heard all this, do you still want to hold it in your hands?”
Despite her outward disbelief, the cloaked woman still had a high regard for her companion’s ability. She raised an eyebrow, “So strange?”
If he said there’s a problem, then there definitely was a problem.
“What else could it be?”
The cloaked man laughed ambiguously.
He didn’t say much on this topic, but turned to another one, “In contrast, what I’m more interested in is this labyrinth. When I went to visit it earlier, I realized that this Grand Cemetery Labyrinth is the Grudge Labyrinth created by the ‘Mad King’ Augustus of Taren Dynasty to trap tomb architects three thousand years ago. That’s the last recorded ancient dynasty before the Great Catastrophe. History before the Catastrophe was disconnected at this point. Don’t you think that is more valuable than any treasure?”
The cloaked woman completely dismissed him with just a glance.
They both fell silent for a moment.
She had no interest in discussing this topic and switched directly, “The Miller Family actually wants to monopolize Sinless City and the Old Continent, and even managed to clean up the Frost Knight Legion. The Miller Family’s plan for Sinless City is thoroughly ruined. Hey, who do you think offered the bounty for our mission this time?”
The cloaked man casually answered, “Does it matter who it is? Do you think, among the others in the Parliament, besides the Miller Family, who doesn’t have such a thought? If the Miller Family continues its dominance, I’m afraid the few seats in the Parliament won’t satisfy them.”
He paused for a moment, lazier than ever, but his eyes were full of sharpness, “The main cities have been staying on the Rich Ore Layer for too long, whereas the old band in the Federal Parliament wallow in their debauchery and luxury, and has lost their adventurous spirit. They’ve forgotten their ancestors’ teachings and no longer explore the depths of the caves. But we are treasure hunters. As the Old Continent has been discovered, let’s also get those obese old men to move.”
Upon hearing this, the cloaked woman teased,”Politics is really boring.”
She wasn’t interested in this and asked, “Stan Miller is definitely dead, then what will happen to Sinless City? The gangs in the Lower City are always fighting amongst themselves, but now they’re united against the enemy. Even if the governor isn’t from the Miller Family, replacing him with anyone else won’t help. Do we have to rely on the Parliament to send troops?”
The cloaked man chuckled, “Can you exterminate all the rats in the sewer? Besides, Sinless City isn’t as simple as it seems. Whoever tries to force their way in will definitely trip up.”
The cloaked woman, confused, “Then what should we do? We can’t let these gangs control the gold-digging dock to the Old Continent, right?”
The cloaked man spoke meaningfully, “Be strong, and you often start to split from within.”
Hearing his cryptic words, the cloaked woman rolled her eyes, no longer in the mood to continue the conversation, “Forget it. You’re better suited for this kind of scheming.”
She asked again, “There seemed to be some peculiar guys among those predators before?”
The cloaked man, “Just remnants of the Old Era. They have some connection with that side. They set a trap, and it was just an excuse to kill a few more people.”
The two chatted lightly.
Meanwhile, in the labyrinth, it was a gruesome scene..
