Chapter 510 Floating City
"Boss, when will the attribute book be available again?" Xiaobai asked.
He'd take as many of these attribute books as he could get. Even though he only had 3 gold Securi coins left, Brook had plenty of gems and crystals besides the regular coins. Brook had just seen gems worth a thousand or two, and crystals worth a hundred or two hundred. If he sold all the gems and crystals, he'd have hundreds of thousands of gold Securi coins, enough to buy more books.
"Not necessarily. It depends on the situation on the battlefield. You can come back tomorrow to take a look."
"Okay. Boss, do you know where I can buy maps?"
"map?"
"Yes, a topographical map of all the continents of Scarlet Star, preferably one that shows the locations of the demonic beasts. The more detailed the better."
"The map you mentioned is extremely valuable. Only heroes within the sect are qualified to own it. It's impossible for an ordinary store like ours to sell it."
"Then do you know where those heroes live?"
"There's one in the Floating City. Currently in charge of the Floating City is the evil little wizard, His Highness Veigar."
“Alright. Excuse me, is Vega-sama a demigod?”
"Yes, His Highness Vaigar has just entered the demigod realm. His Highness was once a Yordle, and later joined the Kindred sect. However, he is powerful and has unlimited potential. Although he is not a member of the Undead clan, he is deeply trusted by the leader and is second only to His Highness Karthus in the sect." The bookstore monk owner explained.
"I see. Thanks for letting me know, boss!"
小白谢过老板，随后又去其他店铺买了些东西。花了2000个金瑟库里币买了4瓶瞬回250万血量的特殊生命药剂，以及4个治疗卷轴；另外又花了4000个金币买了2双水银鞋和2个恶魔法典。
Xiaobai tried it on and found that this kind of equipment that increases resistance and reduces cooldown can only be worn 6 pieces in total, and the same equipment will only be effective on one piece. Brook tried it and was able to equip it as well.
Brooke took another life potion and drank it. It works! It works on human monks, too! It instantly restores 2.5 million HP. In a critical moment, it can be restored to full health, like an extra life! He originally wanted to buy more, but the owner wouldn't let him, saying the materials were limited, so the purchase was limited. He was only able to buy four bottles because Xiaobai was a high-level monster. He wondered how such a fine potion was made. If Uncle Fu could make it, it would be famous not just in Biqi Province, but throughout the Shenlong Empire!
Humans can also use attribute books. Brook tried one or two, and Xiaobai used the rest. Although his attack and defense only increased by 50 or 60 points, his health increased by 9500 points, which was very impressive!
Now all that was left was the map. Xiaobai and Brook walked around the city a few times, figuring out the terrain and a way out before heading towards the city center.
The floating city was enormous, nearly fifty yards tall. It was narrow at the top and bottom, wide in the middle, like two overlapping, square pyramids, one facing up and the other facing down. A massive energy gem sat atop it, perhaps the energy from this gem allowing it to hover low in the air.
Even though it's not suspended high, it's still about 1 or 2 meters high. How do I get in? Do I have to jump up?
While Brook was still wondering, a tilted escalator dropped down.
Xiaobai and Brook stood on it, and the escalator automatically retracted, leading them into the floating city.
After entering, there is a small hall. In the hall stand two 5th-turn necromancers wearing red robes and leaning on staffs. One is called Nora and the other is called Nord.
The hall wasn't large, but its ceiling was soaring and expansive, reaching the center of the floating city. Looking around, the four sides sloped upward, one level every four or five yards. Each level contained escalators, rooms, and corridors. The space widened as one ascended, ultimately reaching the center of the floating city, blocked by a massive, square ceiling. The central ceiling divided the entire city into two. Xiaobai had heard that the floating city in Warcraft Battlegrounds also looked like this: heroes lived at the bottom, while demigod-level and above lived above. At the time, Soraka lived at the top of the floating city.
"Stop! Hey... sir, this mutant skeleton... what can I do for you?" Necromancer Nora looked Xiaobai up and down curiously. At first, she thought she was seeing things, but after double-checking, she found that Xiaobai's health was indeed only 109,500. But Xiaobai clearly exuded the pressure of a high-level demonic beast, yet his health was so low, which seemed a bit strange.
"I'm looking for the evil little wizard, His Highness Veigar."
"What's the matter? I'll help you convey it."
"I need a topographic map of Red Star. I beg Your Highness Vega to give it to me!" Xiaobai said directly.
Nora was about to answer when a rough voice suddenly came from above:
"What do you want a map for?"
Xiaobai looked up. In the corridor across from him, on the fifth floor, stood a burly figure, fully armored. Even his head was covered by a helmet, with only the faint blue flames peeking through the gaps between his eyes and nose.
The hero of the undead clan, the Iron-Armored Wraith Mordekaiser!
"Your Excellency Tienan!" The two necromancers immediately bowed and saluted to greet him. Nora even whispered to Xiaobai, "Hurry up and answer Your Excellency Tienan's question!"
Iron Armor Wraith De Caesar, referred to as Iron Man.
"I want to go to Giant God Peak and enter the Demon Sealing Tower." Xiaobai said with his head raised.
"The Red Star Map can only be possessed by heroes, and you are far from qualified! As for the Demon Sealing Tower, let's talk about it in two years! Nora, Nord, send him out, I want to have a quiet rest." After Tienan said this, he turned around and left the corridor.
"Yes! Your Excellency!" The two necromancers raised their hands and made a gesture of invitation, indicating Xiaobai to leave.
".......What do you mean by waiting for two years?" Xiaobai naturally didn't want to leave since the matter hadn't been resolved yet.
"Let's go quickly~ before Lord Tienan gets angry. I'll explain to you when we get out." Nora winked and said softly.
Seeing Nora's frightened look, Xiaobai had no choice but to follow him out of the floating city.
"My Lord Mutated Skeleton, please understand that Lord Tienan has been in a bad mood recently. In fact, if you want to go to the Demon Sealing Tower on Giant God Peak, you can participate in the sect's competition held every three years. All monsters below the hero level can participate. If you can enter the top three, the leader will send Lord Hero to take you to Giant God Peak." Nora said.
"So, the sect competition will have to wait two years?"
"Yes."
No matter what, as long as it means waiting for two years, it's absolutely not okay! It's too long, Brooke needs to go back soon.
"I want to enter earlier. Please ask His Highness Vega for me, maybe there is another way." Xiaobai said.
"My lord, even if you get the map, you can't go there! The journey to Mount Giant God is long. Not only does it require a long journey, but you also have to pass through several teleportation points. Without the hero leading the way, the teleportation array cannot be opened at all. Moreover, you will pass through many demon territories along the way. Without the hero's protection, you can't get through and lose your life in vain. So it's better to wait for two years. My lord, you can use this time to continue to improve your strength, especially your blood volume..." Nora kindly reminded.
Xiaobai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed his health was really too low, and anyone who saw him would complain.
Nora had good intentions, but the Red Star Map wasn't just crucial for reaching Mount Targon and the Demon Sealing Tower; it also involved teleporting with the Teleportation Ring, King-level demon beasts, and Eighth Rank Pills. She also wanted to see Soraka. Without the map, many things would be difficult. While she could inquire along the way, the races were fighting each other. Asking for information from the enemy faction would be incredibly troublesome.
Therefore, you must find a way to get the map.
"Nora, to be honest, I just came back from the Warcraft battlefield, and the situation there is very critical. I have experienced hundreds of battles and killed countless enemies before I successfully reached the 7th turn. This time I came back to go to the Demon Sealing Tower to improve my strength, and then rush back to the Warcraft battlefield to continue killing enemies. I promised my comrades that I must go back as soon as possible. I am afraid that if I come back too late, I will never see my dearest comrades again! I really can't wait for two years, I need a map very much! The long journey and the demon territory are not a problem. I am an undead clan and a Qianjue sect. How can I be afraid of difficulties and death? Please help me, Nora, ask the evil little wizard His Highness Veigar on my behalf. I believe there must be a way to get the map!" Xiaobai said generously, and quietly stuffed a blessing gem and an ice crystal into Nora's hands.
"This... Hey! I didn't expect you to be so affectionate, so brave, and such an amazing Skeleton!" Nora was deeply moved and nodded in agreement: "Sir, please wait here for a moment. I will go find His Highness Xiaofa and I will definitely help you pass on the message!"
Nora quickly put the gem away. The other crystal could be given to his good brother Nord.
