After retreating, they came after them

Chapter 12 This is Our First Dream

"Captain, you actually didn't want him to leave, did you?"

Xiaoqian stood there, looking at the head of the group, with a paralyzed face, she seemed to be using cold violence on others.

When Captain Mei Guo heard this, he immediately became angry, and his red hair automatically retorted loudly:

"Huh? I didn't say that. He wanted to leave a long time ago. I didn't force him!"

"If we can't recruit a new assistant, will you go find him?" Xiaoqian's sapphire-like eyes seemed to reflect the light outside the window, shining into the head's eyes.

"Impossible!" Mei Guo moved her feet, put down her hands at the table, and slapped her, "Absolutely impossible!"

Xiaoqian pursed her lips.

The expression on her face was close to nothing.

However, Mei Guo read the inexplicable disbelief on her face.

"Our team is a big adventure group that can reach the secret land of the earth dragon. How could we not be able to recruit support?" Mei Guo's anger gushed out from the bottom of her heart.

The distrust from Xiaoqian pierced into her heart like a knife.

Speaking of which, Xiaoqian was not trusted by others, only Simon trusted her.

Even Mei Guo was like this at the beginning, she didn't trust Xiaoqian's ability at all.

It wasn't until later that I realized that Xiaoqian's skill mechanism is very unique. It is not a traditional warlock's skill, but a type that favors pathfinding and control.

So Xiaoqian's heart must be toward Simon.

Even though Simon left the team, Xiaoqian still missed the man who had already left the team.

"That guy..."

Mei Guo didn't know what to say.

Simon's vision is still very good. If he stays in the team and helps her recruit new assistants, he can also help her take a look, maybe he can find good seedlings.

But... I always wonder what he is still doing, the team cannot function without him.

Mei Guo left the table irritably, and simply left the room to see how recruiting was going.

……

Simon looked at the large courtyard in front of him. The house covers an area of ​​about [-] square meters, and the yard occupies a larger area. The front and back yards are three to four times larger than the house.

But the yard itself is bare, and the road is full of gravel and needs to be refurbished.

For such a house, you need to pay tens of thousands of gold coins to buy it in full.

Fortunately, Simon has a little money, and things like gold coins can't be used to strengthen himself, and he won't feel bad if he spends it.

Theoretically, these tens of thousands of gold coins can be used to buy one or two bottles of alchemy reagents, but they may not be available.

Haizhen's metal currency system is actually a bit broken. You can't buy special materials produced in the dungeon, and you can only buy things for ordinary people, such as food, real estate, and items without extraordinary abilities.

The hard currency circulating on the hands of adventurers is not gold and silver, but the blue essence produced in the dungeon.

This thing only explodes when wild monsters in the dungeon are killed. After absorbing it, it can temporarily enhance the overall physique of the adventurer, just like getting adrenaline. It can excite the adventurer, but it cannot make the adventurer go beyond the limit.

Another use is that it can be combined with different alchemy formulas to produce magical alchemical effects. It is the most basic material consumed by alchemists during daily alchemy.

"Do you want to buy it? This is a suburb, and there are no people around."

Roy stood indoors and pointed outside. It was 10 to [-] minutes away from the nearest butcher shop, and even further away from the city.

"The suburbs are good, quiet, no one disturbs you, and it's close to the mountains."

At this moment, Simon seems to be a reclusive expert who has no desires and desires. He is obviously the strongest apprentice adventurer in Haizhen, but he is living a life similar to retirement.

In fact, his current living conditions are no different from retirement. After all, the adventure group he was in before was a local first-line adventure group, and he has accumulated a lot of wealth in the past five years.

Simon looked towards the backyard, and there was a rolling mountain in the distance, which isolated the outside world from here like a high wall.

And Haizhen is a small town near the sea. It is separated by mountains in front and sea monsters are raging in the sea behind. Its geographical location is very special and it has been isolated from the world for many years.

"I don't know how the outside world has developed." Simon looked at the mountain and made some associations.

Ever since he came to this world, he thought of going to the forbidden area of ​​mythology to see what happened.

However, due to physical obstacles, he can only move in this area.

The town closest to here is actually blocked by these mountains.

The snow-capped mountains in front of him are extremely high, and there are extremely aggressive monsters such as flying snowbirds. It is not easy to cross this high mountain.

His current goal is to be promoted, and then use this hut as a base to start to develop outwards, recruit a group of players, and slowly attack the dungeon.

Until all members have enough strength, they will cross the mountains and go to the outside world to find more advanced dungeons and continue to fight.

As for the ultimate goal of the adventure group, it must be the mythical forbidden zone at the end of the east - the land where the gods return to ruins.

"That's right, the people of our small town have been trapped in this tiny place for 100 years." Roy stood beside him, staring at the snow-capped mountains in a daze for a while.

100 years ago, the earth roared.

A towering "wall" rose to the top of the clouds. Since then, Haizhen and several nearby small towns have been isolated from the world, and they have been living here.

In the past 100 years, it is not that no one has tried mountaineering, but without exception, they have not returned.

I don't know if those climbers died or they didn't want to come back.

As for the other side of the sea, some people have tried to build ships to go to sea.

Regrettably, the people who went to sea never came back, and they seemed to have been wiped out by the monsters in the sea, and there was no news.

Roy, with long blue and white hair fluttering, was wearing a blue dress, holding the hem of the skirt blown by the wind with his small hands. Standing in the house facing the snow-capped mountains, he felt the vastness of the world and the insignificance of human beings.

Seeing Roy staring at the mountain in a daze, Simon asked, "Want to go out and take a look?"

When Roy heard the familiar words, he couldn't help being stunned subconsciously: "Huh?"

She vaguely remembered that Simon also had such a scene when he was in the White Fruit Adventure Group:
At that time, everyone was standing under the mountains, in front of the entrance of the dungeon, preparing to enter.

The snow-capped mountains are so high that they don’t see their tops. They have been standing there since a hundred years ago, and the local people are used to them, subconsciously ignoring their existence.

Only Simon questioned.

"What's on the mountain?" he asked.

"There are Flying Snowbirds, and other ferocious beasts." Mei Guo replied without raising her head.

"What about behind the mountain?"

"The outside world."

But when Simon asked what was outside, everyone couldn't say anything.

"Have you ever thought about going out and taking a look?" Simon pointed to the snow-capped mountain and said, "You can't spend your whole life in this dungeon, which is only ten floors deep."

Everyone heard the words and thought about it.

They never thought of such a thing.

But for some reason, when I heard this sentence from Simon's mouth, a series of throbbing arose in my heart.

What does the outside world look like?
What is the difference between the so-called mythical dungeon and the local dungeon?
Various thoughts flashed through the hearts of the players.

The seed called dream germinated secretly in my heart.

Looking back on this, Roy couldn't help but feel extremely regretful.

How I want to go back to the past.
