Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 558 - 499 - Gathering Place_2

Speaking, he also took out a letter.

The plant-man slightly squinted his green eyes, staring at the bracelet in Kane’s hand.

"Follow me!"

Then he waved to the people behind him, and those figures flickered before disappearing again into the surrounding forest.

He led Kane towards the buildings at the foot of the hill.

Soon, Kane arrived beside the group of buildings.

These buildings were very low but not made of wood. Most were made of stone, appearing more solid and durable.

There was also a circle of city walls around, which seemed thicker and higher than what would be expected for such a small town.

On the city walls were defensive mechanisms and archers from various races.

There were soldiers guarding the gate.

Almost no one was seen passing through the gate.

The plant-man approached a guard at the gate and whispered a few words, causing the soldier to immediately run into the town.

And the plant-man said to Kane, "Please wait a moment, the one who can decide your fate will be here shortly."

Kane nodded and stood quietly to survey the surroundings.

Cotton Candy silently turned into a wisp of mist and entered Kane’s body.

In front was a place where many people gathered, and the image of Cotton Candy was too eye-catching.

Nonetheless, Yoyo was still at Kane’s feet, casting scanning rays, wildly scanning the surroundings.

Kane’s pupils had already transformed into Eagle Eye.

Recklessly examining the strength of the people around.

It must be said that the strength of these people was indeed quite impressive.

Though most were at the Bronze level, these felt like ordinary civilians. Yet all the weapons worn on their bodies had a Silver level of power, with soldiers appearing more robust.

To know, Kane had barely seen anyone with energy reactions in the Village of the Dead.

Soon, Kane saw a group at a Silver Bottleneck level walking towards him from afar.

The sound of horse hooves approached, along with the clashing of armor.

A Heavy Armor Knight rode on a majestic horse.

His entire armor was silver-blue, with exquisite patterns etched on it, flowing with magical power.

She held a gigantic crescent blade.

Which emitted a surging magical power.

This was indeed a Magic Knight.

She arrived before Kane, dismounted, and then removed her helmet.

A head of pale silver hair flowed out.

Looking at her valiant figure, seeing her face washed it all away.

Because her face was like that of a doll, looking very youthful, but her expression remained stern.

She scrutinized Kane and said with a voice mismatched to her appearance, "You’re strong, come with me."

After speaking, she nodded to the nearby plant-man and then led Kane into the town.

Kane followed behind her, and the young girl in front seemed very courteous, not riding on the horse but pacing alongside it.

Upon entering, Kane discovered that most of the residents inside were of strange races, evident from their diverse appearances.

Even the architectural styles seemed somewhat different.

And the young girl seemed highly respected, with everyone who saw her slightly bowing their heads and greeting her.

And she nodded in return to each one.

At this moment, a small girl in worn gray clothes was about to kneel to her.

She immediately helped her up.

"I told you, you don’t need to do this."

The little girl’s face was somewhat dirty, unsure of what to say.

And the knightly girl patted the dust off her and said, "Don’t do it next time."

The little girl nodded and slipped into the nearby alley, leaving.

Kane frowned at this scene.

It was too strange; if Kane wasn’t mistaken, the little girl had just reached Silver level.

Yet her clothing and appearance seemed to show she was not living well.

Seeing this, Kane’s first impression was that something was wrong.

But after all, being new here, Kane wasn’t going to meddle, merely noting it silently.

The further they went, the fewer residents there were.

At this point, the girl finally spoke.

"My name is Pedi, what’s yours?"

"Kane, just call me Kane."

Pedi nodded and asked, "Is the owner of this bracelet doing well?"

"He’s dead," Kane said quietly.

"Is that so," Pedi said, without showing any strange expression, as if the death didn’t surprise her.

But she did say, "It’s a pity, another comrade has left us, though death was a release for him."

"All right, we’re here."

Speaking, the girl handed her horse to a waiting person nearby.

It was a maid looking just like a little girl, regardless of height or face.

Her most distinctive feature was her thin skin, like translucent, clearly showing the delicate blood vessels underneath.

Her energy response was the same as the little girl Kane had just seen, even slightly stronger.

"Come in with me."

Kane withdrew his gaze and followed Pedi into the building ahead.

This building’s exterior looked very much like a chapel.

Once inside, although it resembled a chapel, there weren’t any sculptures, nor images, very plain, just rows of seats and a podium.

After entering, Pedi immediately found a seat and sat down.

Said to Kane, "Find a place to sit, the princess will be here soon."

Hearing her words, Kane immediately found a seat nearby to sit down.

Once seated, the space fell into silence.

Pedi’s voice suddenly rang out.

"Did he die painfully?"

Hearing Pedi’s question, Kane nodded. He knew exactly who Pedi meant.

"Not painfully, you could even say it was liberating."

"I see, that’s good."

At this time, Kane countered with, "Were you close with Ke?"

"Hmm," Pedi nodded, saying, "He was sort of my mentor, saving me from death as a child and teaching me strength."

"I see, my condolences."

"Hmm."

The whole space fell silent again.

Then a woman with blue hair and red eyes walked in.

She wore a white robe trimmed with gold, without any patterns, elegant yet plain.

She spoke to Kane with a bright and enticing voice.

"Revolutionary, finally we awaited you!"
