Chapter 238 Demon Fortress
The air was filled with a faint smell of sulfur. The dark clouds pressed heavily on the earth, giving people an extremely depressing feeling. In the depressing atmosphere, a towering castle stood on a mountain that was strangely suspended in the air.
This is the Demon Fortress, the first front-line fortress of mankind standing within the sphere of influence of demons.
Lan Wu appeared on the teleportation array of the Demon Fortress. Looking at the human professionals with fierce faces around him, he couldn't help but lose his mind. It was indeed the Demon Fortress, and everything he saw was exactly the same as in the game.
"Get out." A curse woke Lan Wu up.
Lan Wu looked back and saw a druid glaring at him. This was not the first time he was yelled at. He immediately walked out of the teleportation array and gave up his position.
The pace of life in the Demon Fortress was obviously very fast. The druid didn't continue to find trouble, and hurriedly walked onto the teleportation array and didn't know where he went. The people around him were not surprised and continued their work as usual.
Those who need to repair equipment should repair equipment, and those who need to go shopping should go shopping.
Lan Wu shrugged. The Fortress of Demons is different from Kurast Harbor and Lugaoin, but it is somewhat similar to the Rogue Camp. Since the Fortress of Demons is the second largest stronghold of human forces, it has a large population. The small teleportation array that should be strictly protected is so lonely at the edge of the market, and there is not even a guard to guard it.
Touching the crystal eye on his forehead, Lan Wu shook his head helplessly. Lasma took off the crystal ball casually, which really surprised him. Even if he has an extra super power, he is embarrassed to see people with an extra crystal eye, for fear that he will be regarded as a pervert. As a result, Lasma came back soon, not only bringing the four ghosts of Rodament, but also pressing the crystal ball back on his forehead.
After slightly identifying the direction, Lan Wu left the market directly and went to find his personal storage box. The equipment that he got from the hands of the Flame Finger Gileb and the others and the set of Tago'o's Avatar must be put away. He also needs to find a blacksmith shop where customers can make equipment by themselves. With so many equipment in hand, he really can't bear not to give it a try.
It's all because of the stinginess of legendary figures like Bul-Kathos, who are reluctant to give even good things.
There are still many things to do, and they have to be completed one by one. The quality of Kurast's equipment is not up to standard, so he has to find a way to get more equipment here. This place is full of human professionals, and there are basically no civilians. The purchasing power of gold coins is obviously quite limited. If you can gain a foothold in the Fortress of Demons, you probably don't need equipment of the level of Kurast Harbor. If you can't use gold coins or equipment to get the equipment you need, then you can only go to kill monsters and get equipment yourself. Before that, you have to feed the remaining small amulets first.
Just thinking about it, Lan Wu felt a headache. There are too many troubles. After asking several times, he finally found a personal storage box. After putting Tago'o's avatar and other equipment in it, he was greatly relieved and wandered around the Fortress of Demons.
The professionals in the Demon Fortress are obviously different from those in other places, and they have a more solemn and murderous aura. No need to think too much, it must be related to the frequent invasion of demons here. The Demon Fortress, hanging high in the air, has a unique geographical advantage. There is only a small path made up of hundreds of flat stone slabs leading to the prairie below.
In fact, strictly speaking, this is not a prairie, but a wasteland. Looking around, there are only a few clumps of weeds swaying in the breeze with a faint smell of sulfur. In addition, it is basically composed of brown soil and yellow-brown stones.
After spending a whole day checking the situation of the Demon Fortress, Lan Wu walked into a bar before nightfall. His luck seemed to have run out. He searched all the blacksmith shops, but no one was willing to let outsiders use their forging tools. That look was clearly like guarding against thieves. In desperation, he had to set his sights on Helbu, the senior blacksmith in the Demon Fortress.
With the names of Chasi and Farah, it shouldn't be a problem to borrow Helbu's furnace. But he went around the Fortress of Demons, but couldn't find the blacksmith Helbu. So he had to go into the bar again.
After ordering a glass of beer, he sat at the bar and listened leisurely to the nonsense of the drinkers in the store. He liked this way of asking for news. These professionals have been adventuring outside for many years and often bring some news that people pay attention to. It's like hearing a barbarian's boasting just now.
The fallen angel Izual has resurrected.
This news attracted the attention of many people. Of course, including Lan Wu. He is not unfamiliar with this fallen angel. There was a time when he was bored and he deliberately squatted and brushed it for a week. It's a pity that this guy is very poor and has never dropped any good stuff.
Listening to people everywhere in the tavern recruiting teammates to brush Izual, Lan Wu turned the wine glass and his mouth corners slightly curled up. Of course he was interested, but not now. Entering the Fortress of Demons means that there may be special demons immune to fire among the demons. Only the Great War Staff is not safe at all, at least another class's skill weapon must be prepared.
"Hey, new here?" A paladin squeezed next to Lan Wu and looked him up and down.
"Just came from Kurast Harbor." Lan Wu smiled and waved to the bartender: "Give him a glass of top-quality beer, it's mine."
The paladin laughed: "William, this one is mine, give me another one."
Lan Wu smiled. This Paladin is quite a character. Since the local tyrant has come to him, he can take the opportunity to ask about the whereabouts of the blacksmith Helbu. He has been around for a whole day today. Although there are many blacksmith shops, he can't see the successor of the title. He raised his glass and asked, "I heard that Lord Helbu is a legendary blacksmith, but why can't I find him?"
"Are you also going to find Lord Helbu to make equipment?" The Paladin raised his glass and gestured, with a smile of unknown meaning on his lips.
"Yes, I have heard of Lord Helbu's name, so I came here from Kurast Harbor." Lan Wu took a sip of beer and fabricated an identity for himself as a Kurast Harbor native.
"Unfortunately, Lord Helbu has been gone for almost a year." The Paladin played with the wine glass, and suddenly lowered his voice mysteriously: "But I know where he is."
"Lord Helbu has been gone for so long? Why didn't I hear the news?" Lan Wu pretended to be surprised and deliberately ignored the Paladin's next words.
"He went to the Plains of Despair." Seeing that Lan Wu didn't understand what he meant, the Paladin had to remind him again.
"He went to find Izual?" Lan Wu saw the strange expression on this man's face and smiled secretly, but he still looked shocked on the surface.
"Yes, yes." The Paladin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This kid finally kept up with his pace.
"Then I'll wait for him here." Lan Wu sighed and drank half a cup of beer in one gulp.
The Paladin was immediately at a loss for words. Should this be called stupid? Or stupid? He had no choice but to reveal his purpose: "My team is in need of manpower. Do you want to go with us to the Plains of Despair? Maybe we can meet Lord Helb on the way."
As if he was afraid that Lan Wu would not agree, he quickly added: "You should know that Izual's resurrection location is different each time. The Plains of Despair is more than any other area in Kurast. It may not be easy for Lord Helb to find Izual. In other words, if you want to wait for him to come back here, it may take a long time."
Lan Wu pretended to hesitate and thought for a while, then nodded hesitantly: "Okay, I'll join."
