chapter 198
Stage 55 – Lv.2052 Sky Ruins (1)
Even in the kingdom, there are people who die.
However, the number is significantly less than the tutorial.
In fact, it’s a very safe place if you don’t have to go in and out of the Rift and just sit quietly in the kingdom.
After all, not all exiles cross the dead line to reach the kingdom.
There are many exiles who are really lucky, or just meet a senior and get to the kingdom by bus.
Such people become NPCs in a different sense.
Even if the security is a little unstable, society is a kingdom that exists.

Jobs that require combat are not the only ones that exist.
Therefore, they are engaged in a ‘safe livelihood unrelated to combat’ and live their lives.
As a result, the population does not increase or decrease as the population increases unless a random encounter where the kingdom is attacked explodes.
A farmer or a cook, an electrician or a mage engineer.
How many times would that kind of job face the brink of death?
This kingdom is a kingdom where many exiles and NPCs from the continent live.
According to the [Guild Stone], the number of exiles belonging to a huge guild called [Four Kingdoms] and its subordinate guilds alone is close to 50 million.
Considering the population not belonging to the guild, there must be more than that.
Among them, people called rankers are the top 1,000 people who clear the Rift stage, and people called high rankers are again among the top 100 people.
Rankers are incredibly rare.
In addition, due to the nature of the Rift attack conducted in units of parties, it is necessary to count in units of parties rather than individuals.
In other words, a party called High Ranker does not exceed twenty.
Five of them were in hard rock.
Aside from the [Hard Throk] party, the most famous party is a party led by a monster called Ilgrim.
In terms of power, it is evaluated that it cannot be called the strongest except for [Hard Throk].
However, he was famous for his unpredictable behavior and was also very popular.
Its leader, Ilgrim, is said to have arrived in the kingdom after 100 years have already passed in the tutorial.
He has nevertheless been a challenger and maintains the ranks in this huge kingdom.
It’s already enough to be called a geek for that alone.
Others are those who still have
After reaching this kingdom usually in their 70s or so, they are now living their last exiles.
Anyway, Ilgrim was a famous high ranker.
Although he enjoyed it without denying his interest, he was not easily spotted.
They are different from general rankers who are doing business using their name value or whatever.
High rankers are those who hide their know-how as much as possible and spare no effort to get ahead even one step further.
Even if it is seen, it will be seen on the Rift in the center of [Kingdom].
The country of the clergy acting as a kind of neutral zone.
It must have been the only rift until the other rifts within the kingdom were newly discovered and dispersed.
Such a high ranker dared to leave the country of the clergy, the forefront of the ranking.
And it was enough gossip to appear on the Rift of Hard Throk, which can be said to be the edge.
Thanks to his dignified self-confidence without any intention of hiding it, he is widely known by circulating outside newspapers.
Ilgrim is enjoying the interest.
That is why we dare to talk in a situation where every move is concentrated like this.
All the other colleagues are on vacation.
Erina, the sub-leader who lost to the rock-paper-scissors and became the clerk, sighed.
“That’s why the guys who blew up the entire capital of the dwarf kingdom are still unaccounted for.”
Among the high rankers, there was only one party based on the 43 servers.
Other rankers only do moderate levels of farming under his tacit permission.
“They say they don’t know, and they’re looking for them now. Since the angels a while ago, it seemed like a lot of work.”
“I’m sure you know.”
“Yeah, you can’t know. But I can’t harm them either.”
party [hard rock].
The foundation of a huge guild that has become a single country.
Of course, it is a name that is always mentioned when discussing the strongest.
There is nothing to be afraid of when you pretend to be, but there is no need to do so, like giant rocks.
As an illustrator, I plan to topple it someday, but that wasn’t the case now.
“I want to catch it for now. If I see a ssaksu, I can recruit it.”
“Are you greedy?”
“I have to fill the vacancy of the guy who left a while ago to challenge the god of war.”
Erina, who was sitting next to her, patted her feathered wings and shook her head. The ring above his head moved accordingly.
“God. There’s nothing good about doing that.”
“Kukkeuk. It’s not convincing if the guy who lost to the challenger and moved on to the next round said something like that.”
“I don’t want to hear from you, who’s never sat on the throne.”
Anyway, it was a pain in the ass. Those who can do that kind of work are capable.
You will know the aftermath of that.
So I stupidly did it. And it didn’t seem like he was going to throw out clues.
It was under the assumption that they were competent that they could be identified as hard rock.
Different countries are controlling the lifts under good surveillance systems.
There is no such thing in this country with only one warrior.
Except for very minimal administrative procedures, it is almost neglected.
The country with the lowest reliability of records has no choice but to be here.
“I mean, it’s been three days. If it’s suspicious, the guild in the northern slum is suspicious.”
“You mean those who suddenly show up and do business?”
“That’s right. There was another angel. I came to see him.”
The problem is that. No matter how much I thought about it, the guild called Angel’s Tears didn’t seem to have that much ability.
The title of [King of the Northern Slum] is grand, but from the point of view of high-ranking players, it is really insignificant.
Isn’t he the king of those who have been pushed out and culled?
Even the title floating on Ilgrim’s head right now is [Blue Knight of Death].
Unless you’re a dragon slayer, only these mythical titles are properly recognized among rankers.
“I’ll have to collect the clues from inside. If we meet, we’ll give it to you first. We’ll talk about it later.”
“Yeah, let’s go. Let’s go.”
The two of them are getting a lot of attention in the center of the city, but they are doing nothing.
He didn’t even approach the state wizard.
No one can ask the High Rankers where they are going anyway.
As we approach the lift, the spectators split like low tide.
Had I met you elsewhere, I would not have come to see you like this.
How can you do that against beings like walking nuclear bombs?
I’m just doing this because I can safely watch it under the name of Hard Throk.
As they head to any altar, the party holding the key item with the number engraved on it screams and retreats.
The two didn’t even care about that.
They make sacrifices casually and enter the lift.

“Is that a high ranker?”
“Do you feel something?”
“It’s a bit scary. When you take stats or skills, does the amount of mana in your body go up like that?”
“The higher you go, the more you will use your magic power in some way. Have you been releasing a lot of magic-related passives recently?”
“That’s right.”
In the end, magical power has no choice but to be the basis of a superman.
Apart from systemic correction, it is a part of the individual’s ability.
It is natural because the skill also flows in the direction of correcting it.
Even the little boy rubs his eyes.
“To my eyes, it looks like a very dazzling sun. It burns when I get close.”
“They’ll be around 3,000 levels. They usually end up like that before the invasion resets.”
Five times as simple calculations.
You can’t win if you just hit it. No matter how high the basic ability, there is a degree.
It’s a unique skill, and even if the NPC without anything is at level 3000, it’s like that.
The monsters around 3000 that I saw in the abyss were able to deal with them thanks to the disproportionate stats that drove most of their abilities into stamina and melee attacks.
There was also an army of goblins by the way.
Dragon Lord, etc. are really just the result of an extreme trick that adds a shortcut to a shortcut.
Ordinary gods are not so willing to incarnate.
Before the problem of the life line, it is because our Goddess who is no less than a companion is already there.
What’s more, the level 3000 of the exiles and the level 3000 of those without a mind map are inevitably different.
“Well, don’t worry too much. We’re only 2,000 lbs, so it’s worth taking a picture and pressing it.”
“Two thousand levels…”
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Jenny, who was listening next to her, made an expression that did not know whether she was crying or laughing.
It’s a face I’ve been showing a lot lately.
The attitude of being loyal, but unable to keep up.
Hunters have shown that expression a lot.
“Hmm.”
Blanchet makes a short snort and remains silent. continued to be He didn’t even want to talk much with me.
If necessary, the conversation took place with Hee-woo. I decided to leave it that way.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Jenny offers a key item. The blue oval portal grows.
And swallow us.
The sacrificed offering is a key item in the chain quest from Chimera Research.
It is a book covered in gold leaf that looks important at first glance.
This was the item in the vault of the throne room of the dwarf king.
It has already been pushed out entirely, but if it went on normally, we would have faced a fork in the dwarf kingdom.
The dwarf kingdom and its hostile forces, which faction will you attach to and collect friendships with?
In this case, the hostile force is humans, and on the other side are all the rest of the races.
If there was a human in our party, the option would not have occurred and it would have been a stealth action.
Once we’ve razed the dwarf kingdom, we’re on the side of the human faction.
However, in this case, encounters leading to linkages do not occur. not exactly
Because it has been smashed.
Otherwise, if you proceed normally, you will hear the main facilities of the various races you cooperate with.
The task of continuously extracting data into the field of infiltration action is given over and over again.
If successful, the heroic exile who will remain in human history is a random encounter that can raise friendship to the maximum in one shot.
And even this tenacious detail game has been coded.
Even in the labyrinth that has become a reality, such an arrangement works normally.
[TIP: Destroying the foundation of the encounter itself. Talent is good. The labyrinth prepares a worthy ordeal for such a great exile. Look forward to it.]
After the feeling of floating was over, my feet touched the ground.
As trained, everyone is alert to immediate threats.
Being attacked at the same time as you enter is a common occurrence as you go to a higher level.
After it was confirmed that there was no threat even when looking around, Hee-woo flew up and scouted.
Hee-woo, who came back from a quick turn around, came down and admired it.
“Wow, there are clouds like the sea! It’s amazing that an island is floating in the sky!”
“You know that. Seeing the scenery that you can never see on Earth makes the labyrinth better.”
“I don’t think that’s the case.”
Meanwhile, the little boy is looking down with his small mouth wide open.
“Do you know what’s going on?”
Any kid who perceives the world as magic instead of light will see it.
Indeed, he nodded.
“It’s an island made of a kind of natural magic furnace. There are so many things that you can’t see it accurately, but you can see the pulse in the center.”
“I’m going to collect it too. If enough magical power to float an island in the sky is concentrated, it’s a huge wind crystal above all else.”
“Maybe I can summon Sylphid.”
First, it was a forest. The fog flowing around is all clouds overflowing from the sea of clouds.
It starts to move while enjoying the pleasant moisture due to its high concentration of magic power.
This natural island may not be quite as common as we have arrived.
If the future is the age of magic engineering, the past is the age of pure magic.
A fairy empire existed in the distant past, which can be called ancient on any server.
The Fairy Empire has left countless legacy and relics, and is mostly used by the exiles.
These places are hidden in various places on each server and are collectively called [Sky Ruins].

Erina is back. Ilgrim was sitting still and meditating.
He wakes up with an impression when the angel’s feathers flutter and cause a small explosion.
“Dangerously.”
“The guy who won’t scratch.”
“Yeah. Yeah. Did you find anyone there?”
Erina shook her head.
“Then let’s go to the next ruin.”
Ilgrim spread his arms. Although Erina had a disgusted expression on her face, she hugged the warrior.
“Heavy.”
“You’re kidding. There’s something heavy with the strength of a fighter.”
“I feel heavy.”
“Then change your mind. It’s a sky drive.”
“I don’t hate it if I can’t speak. Are you sure you’re coming to [Sky Ruins]?”
Ilgrim shrugged.
“If it’s intentional and done, it’s almost certainly. It’s coded that way.”
“Can I not use the word coding? If I say that, I’m like an NPC.”
“Ah, with something no one knows about anyway. I think I might be an NPC with only memories of playing games.”
Erina shook her head.
“Even when I was a god, I didn’t like all the [gamers].”
“I’m fine with it. Witty and witty. Isn’t it?”
“Please shut your mouth.”
Ilgrim did that.
Erina flies while lifting a heavy armored warrior. Originally, there was no wall on the stage to block the exiles.
It is the effect of some valuable item.
If you put it together at the time of sacrifice, it removes the limit on the radius of the Exile’s activity on the server.
“I even wrote [Hallows of the Abyss], but I think I’d be very upset if I didn’t find anything.”
Ilgrim didn’t answer. Because Erina told her to keep her mouth shut.
Instead, I thought to myself.
In Roguelike, consumables become poop if you save too much.
And all the equipment that exists in the labyrinth is, after all, a consumable item.
