Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons
Chapter 935 - 808: About to Be Linked Together
Clang! Clang!
The rhythmic sound of Iron Hammer striking metal echoed orderly in the room.
The sound carried all the way to the barrier line at the door, where it vanished without a trace.
It wouldn’t reach the outside area and disturb the people in the Guild Hall.
This was the forging workshop next to the Guild Hall, the workplace of Steel Armor.
Besides him, there was also a young man with Silver-level strength working at another forge nearby.
Sometimes Steel Armor would hold forging classes in the training ground since his forging skills were at Grandmaster level.
He was already the top existence within the guild.
And this young man before him was said to be a promising talent Steel Armor found in the Platinum Country and was exceptionally allowed to join the Guild Hall.
He was guided and mentored by Steel Armor, and even helped out in the forging workshop.
At this moment, a figure appeared at the entrance of the Guild Hall.
Fully clad in heavy armor adorned with intricate patterns, and wearing a fully enclosed helmet.
Just by appearance alone, it was impossible to discern their gender or looks.
Israel was sitting at a table, chatting and drinking with Raphael and the others, and tilted his head in confusion upon seeing this armored person walk in.
At the moment, Israel was no longer in dragon form but instead a dragon-human like Holhos.
This was due to him comprehending the first rule related to life in the World Diamond, allowing him to temporarily alter his life appearance.
Dragon form was fine outside, but was somewhat inconvenient in the Guild Hall.
He was very pleased with this rule he comprehended.
"Who’s this person? I haven’t seen them in the Guild Hall before."
With a dragon’s memory, he’d been in the Guild Hall long enough to virtually know everyone.
Upon hearing him, Raphael turned his head for a glance, nodded knowingly and responded. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
"They seem to be a member of the interior realm of the Platinum Country, but as for what exactly they do, I’m not sure. Anyway, it’s rare to see them in the Guild Hall, I’ve only seen them twice a long time ago.
According to some members from the interior realm of the Platinum Country, their strength should be quite decent."
Pedi arrived at the entrance of the forging workshop, took off her helmet, revealing her gorgeous appearance.
She walked into the forging workshop.
"A woman? And so beautiful,"
Kafka beside Raphael said in surprise.
He hadn’t seen Pedi’s face without the helmet before.
Pedi stepped into the forging workshop and knocked on the counter.
Steel Armor heard the sound from outside and poked his head out to see.
"Pedi? What brings you here? It’s quite rare."
Then remembering something, he patted his head with a bang.
"You see my memory, your Shield and Lance are ready, just in the guild warehouse, forgot to tell you."
Hearing Steel Armor’s words, Pedi touched a mark exposed on the ground, then opened the entrance to the guild warehouse, rummaging through it and indeed found them.
They were thoughtfully labeled with her name.
This was a set of gold-level Shield and Lance.
Because Pedi successfully advanced to gold inside the interior realm of the Platinum Country a long time ago, but when the interior realm is not linked with the outside world, it is truly incredibly safe.
So their weapons, until now, were almost fully equipped for all gold level members before her turn.
And this was specially crafted for her.
Having obtained her weapons, Pedi silently exited the forging workshop, preparing to leave the Guild Hall.
"Pedi?"
Lilulu’s voice suddenly rang out in the Guild Hall.
Then with a flicker, she appeared on Pedi’s shoulder.
"Prince Lilulu, good day."
"Haha, Pedi, what brings you to the Guild Hall? Did you hear that you can finally leave the interior realm of the Platinum Country?"
"Leave the interior realm of the Platinum Country? Heard Heideline mention it a few days ago."
"Haha, then come find Lilulu to hang out when that time comes, see you."
Just as Lilulu was about to leave, she was grabbed by Kane.
Facing Kane’s gaze, Lilulu giggled, as Kane turned to look at Pedi.
"Your Majesty."
"Hmm, no need for formalities here, relax."
Kane said with a smile and left there, heading to sit at the counter.
Then he released Lilulu in his palm: "Running around right after coming back, huh."
"Bleh bleh bleh!"
Lilulu made a face and vanished into the distance.
Kane watched Lilulu disappear and shook his head helplessly.
They had just left the Mist outside.
However, he seemed to feel a considerable fairy tale aura on Pedi’s body.
At this moment, Longbei also entered the Guild Hall and sat beside Kane.
As soon as Longbei came in, Raphael Kafka and a bunch of drinking buddies immediately gathered over.
A group of big guys immediately filled the counter.
Burton poured a drink for everyone and looked at Kane, saying, "You’ve already advanced to three colors, it seems like your aura has stabilized too. Won’t that mean more time to rest afterwards?"
Kane shook his head.
Longbei spoke up from beside him, "No way, no way, we still have to go beyond the Mist, where even the Guild Hall can’t be accessed."
"Beyond the Mist? What’s it like there? Tell us," Kafka asked curiously, patting Longbei’s shoulder.
Everyone else leaned in to listen.
Upon hearing this, Longbei’s interest was immediately piqued.
Kane glanced around at those present.
Perhaps here, only Kafka, Raphael, and Israel possess the aptitude to advance to three colors.
Maybe the emergence of the World Diamond could give others the chance to advance to three colors too, though it’s unclear how much time that will take.
Kafka and Raphael seem to have realized they’ve already begun to widen the gap with their teammates.
They appear to have slowed their pace; compared to the last time we saw them, it seems their strength hasn’t improved at all.
Kane shook his head silently.
This actually puts pressure on their teammates.
But they aren’t unaware of this, they just haven’t figured it out yet.
Thinking about this, Kane picked up the glass in front of him and drank its contents.
The camaraderie between the squadmates
Listening to Longbei standing on a bench, narrating their exploration experiences beyond the Mist to everyone.
Kane smiled, quietly withdrew from the crowd, and headed to the front desk.
"Kane? What are you doing here?"
Adoma was burying her head in something, seemingly writing, looked up to ask when she saw Kane.
"Nothing much, just something to be prepared for, I’m here to give notice."
"Notice? Give me a moment, let me prepare,"
Having said this, Adoma took out a new slip from under the counter and a notebook. Then she signaled to Kane to go on.
"January 1st of the New Era Year 5, which is two days from now, the restrictions between the inner realm and outer realm of the Platinum Country will be fully lifted, allowing free passage between them."
Upon hearing this, Adoma recorded it and looked at Kane with wide, surprised eyes.
"You mean that afterward, people from the inner realm will be able to come to the World Ring, and people from the World Ring can go to the real inside?"
Kane nodded, "Yes, that’s exactly what I mean."
Adoma may not fully understand the overall situation or strength of the Platinum Country now.
But as someone who has been at the guild’s front desk for a long time, she is aware of some situations in the inner realm of the Platinum Country.
Know the strength of those members, those people, and the various resources and technologies inside.
These will enhance their overall vitality once again.
"Don’t worry, it will be fine," Kane said.
Having heard Kane say this, Adoma stopped worrying.
"Alright, I’ll leave the situation here to you, I still need to chat with Polona and the others."
Saying this, Kane smiled and went to the 2nd floor, waiting for Bonona and Heideline to arrive.
Such an important matter naturally requires inviting the two individuals who have been maintaining order in the inner and outer realms for a good discussion.
Adoma rewrote Kane’s words on the slip, using slips with gold edges to indicate important matters.
Then she went out and posted it on the notice board.
The slip, with gold edges indicating of importance, immediately attracted the attention of members in the Guild Hall.
Longbei roughly knew what was going on, didn’t even want to move his butt.
"You seem to know what it is?" Burton asked, wiping a glass beside him.
Raphael and others hadn’t had time to check it out.
"Yes, probably about the announcement that after two days, the inner realm and outer realm will connect, and be able to move freely."
"Inner realm and outer realm connecting?"
Raphael asked in surprise.
Longbei nodded, after all, they came back this time precisely to prepare for this.
"Doesn’t that mean I can go to the inner realm for a proper stroll, instead of just wandering around the city at its entrance?"
"That’s indeed what’s happening; you can now explore the inner realm leisurely."
Longbei himself didn’t find the inner realm interesting for sightseeing, since this restriction doesn’t apply to him.
The Platinum Country is something they explored and claimed as their own in the end.
So to them, it’s more than familiar, and they frequently return to the Platinum Palace during their free time.
Kafka curiously remarked from the side, "I heard from Steel Armor that there’s breathtaking scenery in the inner realm, along with grand buildings. He goes on and on about it. Wonder if he’s exaggerating."
Upon hearing Kafka’s comments, Longbei raised his head and thought for a moment.
"I wouldn’t say it’s exaggeration."
After all, Kane and the others took advantage of their abilities and have indeed built things extraordinarily during their time inside the Platinum Country.
Various authorities were playfully toyed with by them, and later accelerated changes over 10 years, along with Fairy Tale World’s departure made them even more tightly connected.
The inner realm of the Platinum Country is indeed beautiful enough now; if it’s for tourism, it should offer a pleasant experience.
"Is that so? Since you’ve put it that way, once it’s really open in a few days, I truly should take a good look around."
"Haha, then here’s to the Platinum Country, cheers!"
"Cheers!"
