Chapter 190 Back to the Fortress

Following the sign left behind, Leon quickly moved in the secret forest.

After breaking through the third-level Mad Soul Warrior, his body was filled with power to the extreme. According to the experience gained from the inherited soul core, Leon knew that he had to vent his catharsis to avoid damaging his body.

The soul power, several times stronger than before, was continuously stimulated by the power of lightning through the elemental imprint, making Leon's movements lighter and faster, walking through the dense woods, and the towering trees and ubiquitous vines could not pose any obstacles to him.

Faster, stronger!

While running like lightning, Leon deeply felt the pleasure of strength improvement. A large amount of lightning power stimulated the muscles to no longer feel sour and numb. He continued to exert force at high speed without any fatigue at all. It can be said that the third-level samurai is comprehensive for the second-level samurai.

What's more important is that after reaching the third level of Mad Soul Warrior, Leon has more than twice as many soul skills as he can learn and use, especially his strength has increased sharply in terms of attacks.

It is no exaggeration to say that if he encounters that five-person adventure team again at this moment, he will have a high chance of winning without sneak attacks or sharp weapons.

Before nightfall, Leon successfully returned to the wild fortress.

The secret forest at night is extremely dangerous. Many night-walking monsters and underground monsters will come out to move, and they can be seen even in the edge of the forest around the fortress. Therefore, at night, the fortress will close the city gate and enter a state of alert.

Only experienced strong people dare to enter the depths of the secret forest for a few days or even weeks. Most low-level adventurers usually set out in the early morning and return to the fortress at dusk.

And those adventurers who did not come back in time will most likely disappear silently into the forest without any news.

When the last ray of sunset disappeared from the top of the fortress's Supreme Court tower, the metal gate weighing more than 100,000 pounds slowly fell, falling heavily on the ground and stirred up countless dust, as if it was isolating two different worlds.

More than a dozen adventurers who finally entered the fortress, including Leon, breathed a sigh of relief. According to the fortress rules, once the city gate is closed, unless a particularly serious situation occurs, it will definitely not be opened until tomorrow morning.

Three expressionless priests stood in the inner city gate, holding up a staff in one hand and casting spells with the other hand, blessing each adventurer with silver aura.

Behind them, a row of more than a dozen fully armed garrison warriors were on high alert. They pressed the hilt of the sword with their hands and looked cold and solemn, making people understand what happened, these fierce warriors would definitely draw their swords toward each other without hesitation.

Deep in the secret realm of the Holy Land, there are some powerful devils with high wisdom. Some of them can occupy the body of adventurers with special means and thus mix into the fortress to make trouble.

During the early stage of adventurers, they suffered a lot from such transformed monsters. Later, it was the mage and priest who developed the prevention methods of evil detection spells, which avoided greater losses.

Although Leon was the first to the Holy Land, he was not surprised to thank the old lion Guchi's warning and had a lot of understanding of the basic rules of the wild fortress.

He successfully passed the evil detection and soon arrived at Ye Mei Bar.

Perhaps because it is located near the city gate, Ye Mei Bar is doing very well after nightfall. Bright orange lights are transmitted from the open windows, and the laughter and cheerful music of the drinkers float deep into the long streets.

This scene made Leon, who had been in the secret forest for a day of thrilling, feel warm and unable to help but speed up his pace.

When Leon opened the door and entered the bar, it was already full of adventurers, and there was no place next to the bar.

Just as he was hesitating whether to leave another restaurant, there were probably a team of adventurers in front of the bar, and Leon happened to go up and occupy a place.

"Lei, I'm glad to see you!"

Larson, a busy bartender behind the bar, grinned and showed off his white teeth.

He poured a glass of fruit wine and put it in front of Leon: "I treat you to this cup to celebrate your life here for another day!"

"Then I'm not polite!" Leon smiled and took the fruit wine and drank it in one sip: "I'm trying to get to you every day!"

Bartender Larson seemed a little uncomfortable, but according to the old Lion Guchi, few low-level adventurers in the secret forest alone could persist, either died in the forest or joined a certain team.

"It seems that you have gained a good harvest..." Larsen looked at the animal skin bag that Leon placed beside him and reminded: "You can go to the adventurer store opposite to sell the materials. The valuable things you don't want to sell are the safest in the mercenary union's Mikuli."

"Remember not to deal with others privately. It is easy to have problems. If you are deceived by the garrison, don't care!"

The Wild Fortress is the most important foundation of the Bimon Kingdom in the secret realm of the Holy Realm. It is different from ordinary mainland fortresses. It is not the other three tribes on the mainland, but the terrifying beast tide that breaks out every year in the secret realm.

The garrison stationed in the fortress is the most elite legion of the kingdom. The composition of all samurai and shaman priests gives them terrible combat power. The garrison's mission is to guard the fortress and provide protection for adventurers who come to the holy realm, but in addition to ensuring the security inside the fortress, they basically do not intervene in the disputes between adventurers.

Most of the adventurers who can come here have a deep background and represent different forces and families. The conflicts and entanglements between them are impossible to clarify, so you can imagine the position of maintaining a completely neutral fortress garrison.

It is precisely because of this that some adventurers who have been hiding in the fortress for many years will also do some tricks. As long as they do not use force, no one will care about it. Many novices have been fooled.

Larsen reminded Leon that half of it was for the sake of the old lion Guchi, and the other half was because Leon and he belonged to the same bear family - there were not many lower tribes who could enter the secret realm of the Holy Land, and it was even rarer for the same tribe.

Of course, Leon could understand his kindness and raised his empty cup and shook it: "I understand, thank you for your reminder, I will be very careful!"

Larson nodded and added a glass of fruit wine to Leon. Leon's modest attitude made him very fond of.

As a bartender in a bartender, he has come into contact with countless adventurers. He has reminded some newcomers who have just arrived, but most of them are disapproving and ridicule, because these adventurers are not weak on the mainland, and are many arrogant.

Over time, Larson was too lazy to say anything more about selling wine, and today it was an extra exception.

"And if you go to the Mercenary Union, it is best to take on a few simple tasks. The war honors you get in the fortress union can be exchanged for discounts using the teleportation array. As long as you have enough war honors, you can save a lot of money when returning to the Glorious Continent."

As soon as Larson opened his mouth, he started talking endlessly. When it comes to understanding the situation of the fortress, the old lion Guqi also sighed that he was inferior to him.

These experiences are undoubtedly very beneficial to Leon.

Although the secret realm of the Holy Realm can be used to travel through the teleportation array, the cost of teleportation once is extremely high, and the situation may be different when coming. However, if you want to return to the Glorious Continent through the teleportation array of the fortress, the price is exactly the same.

Transfer 70,000 gold coins at one time, excluding gift packages!

This price is absolutely unscrupulous, but there is no other way for adventurers to go back.

Of course, the extra money earned by the garrison troops who control the teleportation array is also used for daily maintenance costs. Some materials must be transmitted from the Guanghui Continent, which is very expensive.

Therefore, many adventurers have lost all their money to the secret realm of the Holy Land. They are lucky and spend several months to make money. Those who are afraid of the sky may even get rich overnight. However, more people are lucky or have bad luck, and may not have enough money to get back for a few years, and they will also spend their lives in vain.

You should know that in addition to the cost of using the teleportation array, the daily expenses of food, clothing, housing and transportation in the fortress are very expensive.

"When I first came to the Holy Land, I fantasized about finding a lost ruin and getting the treasures in it and returning home in a glorious way..." Larsen said with a sigh: "But watching his companions fall down one by one, I was afraid that I would die in the forest one day, so I worked as a bartender here."

"After I have enough money to get back, I will go back one day. This is not suitable for everyone."

Listening to Larson telling his story, Leon couldn't help but feel a little sighed. Compared to this, the Glorious Continent is simply a paradise, and at least the pressure to survive will not be so great.

After drinking seven or eight glasses of wine, eating a large plate of roasted monster meat, Leon said goodbye to Larsen and left Ye Mei Bar.

He is not going to stay in the Sanctuary for too long, and of course he cannot waste his time on leisure and pleasure.

Following Larson's advice, Leon first went to the Adventurer's Store diagonally across from the bar.

The Adventurer Store is actually a acquisition station dedicated to recycling Adventurer's spoils. It belongs to the fortress garrison and is completely monopoly. There is no second competitor at all.

The Adventurer Store is large in size, with four fully armed garrison warriors as guards, and seven or eight stereotypical appraisers are responsible for identifying bids. There are only a few adventurers here, and they leave immediately after selling the spoils.

In order to cover up, Leon put the things he had plundered from the Goblin wizard in his carry-on bag, and he simply handed them all over the store's appraiser at once to estimate the price.

"Level 2 magic core, medium quality, estimated at fifty gold coins..."

Listening to the appraiser's stereotyped voice, Leon was stunned.
