Chapter 183 Wooden Train

In the receptionist hall, the adventurers were busy doing their own thing. They were talking about their latest hunt, the powerful monsters they fought, and bragging about doing seggs within the dungeon.

One of them glanced at the ranking board, and widened his eyes when he saw a name quickly rocketed up the ranks. From rank 200th to 78th, and then exploded upward to the top 25.

“This… how is this possible. Who is this man?”

The dungeon can only be entered by Gold Rank to prevent powerful monsters from the depth of the dungeon to come out.

The provinces had sent some Diamond Ranks before and the result was disastrous. This was why the adventurers were shocked.

There was no way that a group of Gold Ranks adventurers can rise to the top so quickly.

“Who is that?”

“Death Lord Army? What a domineering name. It’s a group name and seems to have around 70 members.”

“Dead Lord Army… the leader is probably a necromancer.”

“Whoever that is, the man must be a powerful master.”

“Should we look for them?”

“No need. They will be in the spotlight and we will soon know who they are.”

…

Aldred was escorted back to the receptionist hall. This time, the beautiful winged-lady walked beside Aldred and their shoulders almost touched each other.

When they arrived, the lady took out a tiny card. “Please stick this to your guild card. It will give you access to the 10th floor.”

“I want to ask. Is there more than 10 floor in the dungeon?”

“There is. We suspect that the dungeon might have an infinite floor, but you cannot go beyond the 10th floor.”

“Why?”

“To go beyond the 10th floor, you have to enter an abyss. No one returns when they go in, even Diamond Ranks. And when we sent our Platinum and above soldiers, hideous creatures crawled out of that abyss and fought against us ferociously.”

“That abyss is also called the gate of hell. It’s been blocked shut, and you cannot enter it.”

‘In that case, I shouldn’t enter then. Even a Diamond Rank could die. I am not a dumbass who would throw lives for nothing.’

“I want to access the dungeon now.”

The receptionist nodded. “Please go east from here. We have a train set up for adventurers to come and go.”

“Train? You mean like a real train locomotive?”

“I don’t know about locomotive, sir. But it’s powered by the wind, earth, and fire elemental mana crystals. Some magicians are also on the train to make the train move.”

“I see. I am looking forward to that.”

Aldred went out of the adventure’s inn, and walked to the east. His girls along with Bartrem and the soldiers quietly followed him while looking around the city.

Ivette’s eyes lit up wherever she looked. “Oh my, a pair of wing-shaped candy.”

“Do you want one?”

“Can I?”

“Of course. I am rich.”

“Thank you!” She kissed Aldred before buying a bunch of candy. She then shared it with the others. After that, Ivette wrapped her hands around Aldred’s arms.

“It sure is nice being rich.” Aldred smiled.

Quickly, they found where the train station was. It was an outdoor station with a lot of trains quickly zipping in and out of the glass dome. The train wasn’t made out of steel.

It was made out of wood. The exterior looked exactly like the gigantic trees used for housings. There were small branches with leaves, and some plants on the train. It also had no wheels. The trains hovered above the some sort of tracks made out of wood. There were some crystals in there that seemed to blow out magical wind.

Modern earth loses out to this world’s technology by far. He wondered if America attacked one of the countries here, could they win? Aldred believed they could win if they dropped nukes at the very beginning. (Yes of course- taylor9189 USA USA!!!)

Well, that was just food for thoughts.

Aldred walked in to the train station and he was told to put his card into a square-shaped stone.

The guard was nonchalant at first, but after he saw the small card that stuck to the guild card, his eyes widened.

“Please, this way, sir,” he said respectfully.

When Aldred left, the other guard asked his friend. “Who is that?”

“I don’t know. My first time seeing him, but he has access to the 10th floor.”

“That’s crazy.”

The other adventurers heard this immediately talked to their friends.

“Is that the guy?”

“He’s probably the leader of the Death Lord Army.”

“Look at their armor and weapons. Those are at least upper rare treasures.”

Aldred did not know about this as he entered the train. A train attendant looked at his card and then led him to his special spot. The seats here were so spacious compared to others and less people.

Aldred was hugging Stella and Ivette as the other girls were looking at the menu. Bartrem and the others got their own seat.

“The prices are so extravagant,” Mary said. “And what is this caviar thing. 200 gold coins for a single piece of fish egg? This is nuts!”

Ivette was curios so she took a look at the menu. Her eyes quickly lit up. “Cake! Aldred, can I buy some.”

Aldred laughed and caressed her head. “Of course, you can.”

Her eyes lit up and she hugged Aldred. “You pamper me a lot.”

Aldred smiled. “You didn’t have anything and had suffered enough. If there is something you want, just tell me. I will get it for you.”

Ivette felt her heart thumping in her chest. Tears threatened to come out of her eyes. “Thank you.”

“No need to thank me. We’re family remember?”

Mary, Mira, Mareona, and everyone else was smiling when they looked at this.

Ivette looked at the menu again. “I want this chocolate cake, pineapple upside down cake, red velvet, and carrot cake.”

“Are you sure you want to eat all of that?” Aldred asked.

She turned to look at him and smiled. “Yes.”
