Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?
Chapter 773 - 504: Message Brought by Fallen Leaves
Some people are naturally able to perceive things that others cannot easily notice, and they easily resonate with hidden things.
Everyone knows that when passing through the Dungeon Teleportation Gate, it’s easy to feel dizzy and disoriented due to the teleportation, and some might even experience vomiting and diarrhea until they faint.
Uffie originally had no special feelings about teleportation, but after her senses were disrupted by Gravity Magic earlier, being suddenly sucked into the Teleportation Gate made her truly experience the daily sensations of someone who gets dizzy from teleportation.
Her vision went black, her head spun, as if she were falling and crashing heavily to the ground, her senses in complete disarray.
Now her eyes were plunged into endless darkness.
However, her intuition resonated with something in the Dungeon, and strange imagery appeared before her eyes.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, with the sound of something getting hit, sparks lit up in the darkness.
"Bang!"
The knocking sound rang again, and the sparks from the collision illuminated the darkness even more, in her daze Uffie seemed to see a stone hammer.
As to what that stone hammer was pounding, she tried hard to see, straining her eyes, it seemed clearer and clearer, soon she would see—
"The falling leaves bring messages."
In an unknown place, a hoarse voice sounded, as if containing a special power in it, it immediately caught one’s attention, making it instinctive to anticipate the next words.
Uffie was no exception, she conscientiously strained to hear the voice clearly, this was the most direct way to understand this unfamiliar dungeon.
Accompanied by the human voice, a vast ocean bathed in golden light appeared in front, at the far end of the ocean, strange buildings stood there, blurry yet eye-catching.
However... she frowned, thinking: how come these scenes with flickering images and an accompanying voice-over explanation seemed familiar?
Oh right, isn’t this a characteristic (common) technique of the Sain Dungeon?
She suddenly remembered the time she shouted, "Sain, if you have the guts, open up to the Warrior Country!"
No, no, how can there be such a coincidence in the world?
She shook her head repeatedly in her mind, the fact that the Sain Dungeon had moved from the Yanor Kingdom to Red was already surprising, the same thing couldn’t possibly happen twice.
In history, there’s never been such a ridiculous expansion of a dungeon, not only is the speed absurd, but the location is as well; logically, shouldn’t the expansion start from the nearest dungeon?
How could it be justified to roam around the world?!
Unknowingly, Uffie’s attention had drifted, she quickly refocused her attention back to the hoarse voice, listening intently.
"Beyond the mists, our homeland, the Boundary Land..."
The vast ocean bathed in golden light gradually became shrouded in mist.
Oh, oh, beyond the mist? The Boundary Land? It sounds inexplicably awesome.
And then, and then? Uffie, always one to entertain herself, used self-hypnosis to build anticipation for what would happen next.
The voice appeared again, still hoarse and captivating.
"That great Elden Ring has been broken—"
"Ah, ah, ah! My estate!!!"
Just as Uffie was concentrating on listening, a scream suddenly erupted by her ear, shattering the darkness in front of her.
What a scream it was, surprisingly coming from a man.
The scream was filled with the unique panic of a middle-aged crisis, as if all the efforts he had put into his career had crumbled in an instant, and when he returned home, his wife was there with the kids holding a divorce agreement, demanding a division of property. Just as he wanted to refuse, their house grew legs and ran off with his wife.
Although abstract, it was precisely that hopeless.
With that, not only did the hoarse voice disappear, but Uffie no longer felt dizzy either, regaining clarity at once.
She snapped her eyes open, her gaze full of confusion, who am I, where am I, what am I supposed to do?
At that moment, suddenly a person collapsed weakly in front of her, mumbling:
"My, my house, my symbol of success..."
If a heavy rain were to suddenly pour down now, it would perfectly match this atmosphere.
Uffie finally saw clearly, the person sitting collapsed in front of her was Tepi.
Oh right, when the Dungeon Teleportation Gate reactivated earlier, his proud mansion was uprooted and floated into the air.
Uffie’s eyes inevitably showed sympathy for Tepi.
The consequence of having a house uprooted is all too clear; even if it didn’t end up dismantled upon crashing to the ground, it couldn’t be lived in properly anymore, becoming an unstable dangerous house.
It would cost a fortune to hire a Civil Engineering Magician to repair it, and that’s if the damage wasn’t too severe. If it shattered upon falling, it would be better to just rebuild it.
"Mr. Basque, my condolences." She patted Tepi on the shoulder, her expression entirely conveying "please be strong."
Tepi hiccupped twice and soon returned to normal. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Fanen and Isha beside them were also in a dizzy state, Uffie went over to awaken them one by one, but these two didn’t see any hallucination images or anything, just pure dizziness.
"Alright, the current situation is, we should have been sent into the Dungeon." Uffie surveyed the surroundings; they were now in what looked like a small building that resembled a Church chapel, covered in dust.
