Chapter 234: dungeon

  Chapter 234 Dungeon

   Could it be that the reward this time is group energy?

  David looked at the thing in his hand and tried to make contact, but after the Holy Light came into contact with the cyclone, nothing happened.

  There is no fusion, no repulsion, as if I have nothing in my hand, and the air mass is just my illusion.

  Although he didn't understand what was going on, David was sure that the energy in his hand should not be absorbable.

   "Is it like the seeds of crystal mines? Need to be planted somewhere?"

   Returning to Fort Glamorgan from Cold Winter Hotel, after wandering around, David decided to find a place in his back garden to try.

   As a result, he quickly discovered the correct way to use this thing: find a wall and just throw it over.

  When the thing in his hand was thrown against the wall, David suddenly understood what it was.

   "Isn't this the copy gate?"

  He had seen this familiar picture countless times. But this time, as the energy rotated, the flat wall gradually turned into a huge double door.

   "..."

  Seeing that the dungeon door in front of him turned into the door of the Diablo reading interface, David wondered if the reward this time was to let him go to the world of Diablo?

   What kind of reward is this?

   His head was full of question marks, David rushed in without hesitation, continued to study for a while, and knew how to remove this 'gate' from the wall.

   Afterwards, David contacted several people currently in Cold Winter Town through the communication devices that had been gradually distributed, while he waited quietly in the basement that was used as a training ground.

   This underground training ground is located on the second basement floor below the garage. There is also a shooting range on the same floor, which is convenient for David to practice firearms and bows.

  I chose this place because this training ground is a backup training ground, which is not used very often, so it is suitable for placing the rewards I got this time.

   After installing the things, David watched the air mass slowly turn into a familiar double door, and David quietly waited for the arrival of his partners.

  He didn't wait too long, and soon everyone, including Tony Stark, came here one after another.

   Fortunately, the space here is spacious enough for everyone to have enough space to move around, otherwise David would definitely regret calling so many people over.

"What's this?"

   "I don't know." David answered Tony very simply, allowing Tony to wander back and forth around the gate and research.

   "A newcomer here? Who is this time?" Mark directly asked the newcomer's identity, trying to speculate on the function of this thing through the newcomer's identity.

   "Aidan."

"Who is that?"

   I have to say that although the Diablo series is well-known, not many people know the background and character settings of the game.

  If David hadn't read some online articles in his previous life and indirectly understood the background setting of Diablo, he would not have understood this information.

   Sure enough, as soon as David told the situation in that world, Mark immediately remembered that game: "No wonder this door looks so familiar."

   "David."

"What?"

  Hearing Tony's greeting, David turned his head and looked over, and found that Tony was pointing at the top of the gate, where a row of words gradually emerged.

   "Dungeon: Sanctuary!"

  David read out the words that slowly emerged above, and everyone including Tony, Mark, Laura, Eva, and Helen began to guess what the purpose of this thing was.

   There is speculation that this is a stable passage to another world; but the prefix of the dungeon makes Mark feel that the situation may not be so simple.

   "It's meaningless to guess too much. The best way to determine the true function of this thing is to actually use it." Tony summoned his armor directly, ready to put on the armor and go in to have a look.

   "Let's go in and have a look!" David also checked his equipment. Except for the Lightbringer suit, all other weapons are in the storage props.

   This kind of adventurous thing cannot be done without Laura. When David checked the equipment, Laura had already taken out her bow.

  Although she didn't say anything directly, everyone understood her attitude.

   "Let's go!"

The steel armor flew over, and Tony transformed into an iron man in an instant. After saying hello to David, he opened the door in front of him before David could respond, ignoring that there was only a ray of light after the door opened, and he couldn't see it at all. The situation behind the door, went straight in.

  David originally wanted to add a layer of holy light shield to Tony, but before he could make a move, Tony had disappeared in the light.

   and Laura looked at each other, and after spreading their hands helplessly, the two released the holy light shield at the same time, and then walked into the light together...

  The eyes were filled with white light, and it took a few seconds to recover. David looked around and felt that the surrounding light was very dark.

  Looked up at the sky, thick dark clouds covered most of the light.

   "This seems to be Rogge's camp?"

  Mark's voice came from behind, and David found that Mark was following, and at the same time, an orange-red oval portal stood behind everyone.

   Obviously, they came here through this door.

  Looking around, this seems to be the Rogue Camp, the opening location in Diablo 2.

  David noticed that the people in the camp turned a blind eye to their arrival and the orange portal next to them, and they still stood where they were, without even changing their expressions.

   While everyone was still looking around, Tony had already walked up to a tall man who was closest to everyone, and wanted to try to talk to him.

   "Hello, stranger, I'm not surprised to see people of your race. In this troubled time, many adventurers travel here from far away..."

The other party, Barabara, kept talking. Even if Tony wanted to interrupt the other party, it would have no effect. The tall man continued to talk non-stop until he finished: "You should also talk to Akara , she seems to be the leader of this camp, maybe she can tell you something else." After that, she stopped.

   Fortunately, the other party spoke the common language of Brennia, which everyone could understand.

   But when Tony greeted this person again, he would only get: "Hello." "Nice to meet you." "What's the matter?" The answers are mechanical, repetitive and without emotion.

   Seeing this scene, everyone understood what was going on.

   "NPC?"

"This is actually a game?" Mark looked around in surprise, and then pinched his arm hard. The clear pain came, which made him wonder if he had guessed wrong: "Are we really entering a game?" In the game? Or is it just consciousness coming in?"

  David has been silent, he now understands what the so-called dungeons mean.

  In large-scale online games such as Warcraft, those so-called dungeons are actually dungeons. Thinking along this line of thought, the reward he got this time is actually a 'dungeon', and the content of the dungeon is Diablo 2.

   Tell your own inference, and everyone agrees with David's inference.

   "Then the question is, what is the use of this dungeon? Are we real people coming in? Or is it just consciousness coming in?"

   "I can be sure that we came in by ourselves." In addition to speculating, David is also secretly using the Holy Light to check his situation.

  He can give a very definite answer: they all came to the copy as a whole.

   "The holy light and the body of Cybertron can be used normally, and all kinds of equipment have also been brought in."

   "This is good news, although I don't know whether the weapons I carry are effective against those so-called **** demons..." Tony also checked his equipment.

  The good news is that his steel armor and the weapons and ammunition on it can be used normally, and he can even 'contact' Jarvis here.

  The bad news is that in this kind of place, he probably has no way to replenish the ammunition he consumes on the spot, and his combat effectiveness seems to be greatly limited.

   "What are we going to do next? Go find Akara?" Laura didn't speak, but just quietly observed, and quickly got a general overview of the camp.

  This camp is not big. They are located in the center of the camp at this time, and they can easily see the situation of the entire camp.

   Except for a few NPCs in their respective positions, the most common ones in the camp are Rogge who use bows and arrows.

"Before looking for Akara, maybe we should first confirm the strength of the monsters in this dungeon." David thought for a while, since it is confirmed that this is a place similar to a game dungeon, the first thing to determine is how strong the monsters are ? Can you beat it yourself?

   If you can beat it, you can naturally think about more things; if you can't beat it, it's useless to think too much.

   "You're right!" After Tony agreed, he ascended directly to the sky on the spot. After slightly adjusting his direction in the air, he quickly locked on to a target.

  He didn't rush over rashly, but kept enough distance to launch a missile.

  The missile flew out from the arm, accurately hit the pale zombie with stiff movements, and then, accompanied by a huge explosion and flames, it was turned into pieces all over the ground.

"Um?"

  Tony vaguely sensed something, flew directly back to the Rogge camp, and landed in front of David.

   "The monster outside is not strong, but after I killed that monster, I had a strange feeling."

  Before Tony finished speaking, David had already released the Holy Light to 'treat' Tony. As a result, after a large piece of Holy Light was sprinkled over, Tony felt that strange feeling had not disappeared.

"oh?"

After careful inspection, and Jarvis conducted a detailed inspection of Tony through the device that comes with the armor, he finally came to a conclusion: there is a small stream of pure energy in Tony's body. Weakened, Tony's body seemed to have slightly improved.

   "Well, I already know the function of this dungeon."
