Rebirth: Over the Horizon - Chapter 178
There is a deserted landscape with wind and sand raging in front of him.
A huge city stands in front of Adam. Although it has been eroded by the years, it can hardly conceal its former glory. It stood so stubbornly, like a Titan.
Adam frowned: “Where is this place? Hidden dungeon?”
He hadn’t encountered this kind of situation before, so he felt unable to start now.
He hesitated for a while and walked into the city. After all, here are all persons, it is easier to inquire about the situation.
Adam tidied his robe. He is now a handsome young man with bright eyes, and he can’t see the embarrassment of being chased by the ghosts before.
He hasn’t acted yet, the system pushed out a message.
[You have opened the Destiny Dungeon. Mission completion degree: 0
Mission requirements: Unknown]
Adam shook his head, dispelled the unhappiness and annoyance in his heart, and then walked into the city. Because these negative emotions can only make people unwilling and angry, but they can’t make you stronger.
Adam, who lost his negative emotions, approached the city, and there were two soldiers guarding the door, but they looked thin and tired. However, their pupils are still bright.
He nodded when he saw this. From the performance of the soldiers, you can see the commander’s talents.
The general who can let the soldiers defend the territory desperately must be the admirable general.
“Who are you?” a soldier raised his head and asked. The wind and sand were raging but he was not affected at all. The soldier’s voice was not weak, but calm and steady.
“I am a traveler.” Adam replied with a smile, “I think the wind and sand are too strong, so I want to go to the city to avoid it.”
Two soldiers looked at each other for few moments, and suddenly both of them showed excitement.
“Excuse me, are you from the outside world?” another soldier asked.”Yes.” Adam nodded and said.
A soldier said: “We are guarding the city gate, and there is no way to take you there. Go to the city lord’s mansion by yourself.”
Adam was about to say something, suddenly a system prompt sounded:
[Current task progress: visit the city lord]
Adam immediately hesitated and said, “Is there anything important?” He was also testing the news by asking.
The soldiers shook their heads and said, “You will know if you go in.” Then they looked away and continued to watch the city.
Seeing their resolute expression, Adam also had some respect in his heart. “I see, goodbye.” Adam said softly. Then he turned and left his current position and walked into the city.
The city is also full of old women and children with yellowish faces. The land here is not suitable for growing food, but the fields that produced food more than a thousand yards from the city are occupied by monsters.
Adam guessed that one of his tasks might be to obtain food for urban residents.
His intuition is surprisingly accurate. In fact, if he succeeded in capturing the grain fields and warehouses, the entire [Destiny Dungeon] was half the battle.
Adam opened the map, and then walked towards the City Lord’s Mansion in the center of the city.
“Some curiosity, what kind of existence does this city lord really exist?” Adam wondered. He walked to the gate of the City Lord’s Mansion, where there were no guards watching.
He approached the red golden wooden door and knocked on it. Then he heard the door open with a “creak”. A child’s face came into view, and he opened the door.
“What’s the matter with you?” the boy asked with a slight frown.
Adam said: “It’s like this, the soldier who guards the city asked me to come.”
The handsome girl looked at him, and then suddenly understood something. “Please wait!” He closed the door with a bang, and then Adam just heard the sound of footsteps drifting away.
Adam said helplessly: “Boy,you let me in first.” However, no one responded. Adam had to stand foolishly at the door.
About three to five minutes later the door opened again. It was still the little boy, her face flushed slightly: “Please follow me, the one of heaven!”
He smiled and then walked into the city lord’s mansion behind the untrained butler. City Lord’s Mansion does not appear to be decayed, but it is not so well decorated.
Ordinary, but there is no trace of wind and sand. After walking through the corridor, he followed the maid to the chamber where the city lord was.
In the chamber, there is only one young woman reading a book. Adam’s gaze fell on the woman in white.
“You finally came.” The woman in white nodded and said. The moment she turned around, Adam was completely amazed by her face.
Her temperament and beauty are not inferior to the Ariana or Azumi, but the looks of the three are three different styles.
“Excuse me, is there anything I can help?” Adam returned to his calm and composed expression for a moment.
His focused gaze opened the basic attributes of the woman in front of him.
Adam suddenly thought of something, he lifted his left hand, and let the female city lord Nicole see clearly the [Durid’s Ring]
“I want to ask, am I here because of it?” Adam shook his left hand.
Nicole looked at the ring in Adam’s hand, shook her head and said, “I don’t know… but it should be irrelevant.”
She paused and said, “I know that you are from [Higher Dimension] we are currently in need of help.”
Adam nodded: “I will do what I can…”Nicole smiled, her snow-white hair matched the white dress, she looked like a pure saint. Her true identity is the lord of this declining city. Although she is crowned the world, she is also a little girl who has never been loved.
Adam stared at Nicole , and suddenly smiled: “How can I help you?”
“There are a thousand soldiers available for dispatch in the city.” Nicole said after hesitating.
In fact, there are close to two thousand soldiers in this entire city. But for safety and for the sake of the citizens of the city, she lied a little.
Adam nodded and asked, “How long can this city last?”
“Three days.” Nicole ‘s expression was a little sad, “More than three days, the granary will be completely exhausted.”
“I see. I will go to the granary and fields outside by myself.” Adam pondered, “I will see if there is any way to recover it.”
“Okay.”
