Chapter 475 Steamholm Country, Steampunk City

Villain Ch 475. Steamholm Country, Steampunk City

Brovh City lay far to the north of Ront City, the distance between the two sprawling cities stretching across the northern reaches of the vast virtual world. Situated within the expansive and diverse territory of Steamholm Country, Brovh City was more than just a location; it was a testament to the intricate world-building within the game.

This game wasn't limited to the confines of a single kingdom, as Elenoria had neighbors and territories beyond its borders. Brovh City, being part of Steamholm Country, illustrated the complexity of the game world. It showed that the emperor's influence and the game's unfolding story extended far beyond the boundaries of the Elenoria Kingdom. The terror and chaos unleashed by the emperor transcended geopolitical boundaries.

This extension into neighboring countries emphasized the promise of unlimited gameplay expansion, where players could explore new lands, undertake quests, and engage in adventures that reached beyond the familiar. It highlighted the vast potential for players to discover uncharted territories, forge alliances with new factions, and embark on epic quests that extended beyond the Elenoria Kingdom's borders.

Allen and his companions strolled through the city. They were using their disguises that concealed their true identities. Their footsteps echoed through the cobblestone pathways, the rhythmic tap-tap of their shoes accompanying the enchanting cityscape that unfolded before them.

Their eyes remained fixed on the city's captivating vista, one that seemed a world apart from the familiar towns and cities of Elenoria. While this city retained an air of tranquility, it was far from the bustling capital city most players frequented. Here, the streets were less crowded, and the denizens were more at ease, granting a serene atmosphere to the surroundings.

Unlike the medieval themes predominant in Elenoria's cities, this place offered a striking contrast. The city was not merely a collection of stone and wood; it was a testament to a different era. It was vast, exuding a distinct and immersive steampunk aesthetic.

The steampunk cityscape surrounding Allen and his companions was a breathtaking fusion of intricate mechanical marvels and artistic innovation. Massive, intricately designed buildings towered above them, their facades adorned with gears, cogs, and brass embellishments that glistened in the soft, amber light of gas lamps. The city's heart pulsed with a rhythmic symphony of pistons and steam vents, creating a unique and mesmerizing ambiance.

The streets were cobbled and lined with wrought-iron lamp posts that emitted a warm, flickering glow. Steam-powered carriages, adorned with polished brass and intricate scrollwork, glided effortlessly along the avenues, their wheels rotating in hypnotic harmony. Mechanical pigeons soared overhead, their clockwork wings catching the light as they patrolled the skies.

Towers with ornate, spinning weather vanes reached for the heavens, their spires crowned by massive clock faces that kept the city synchronized. Everywhere they looked, there were contraptions and contrivances, from clockwork street vendors to automated musicians serenading passersby.

The city's industrial heart thrummed at its core, with factories and workshops adorned in imposing ironwork facades that belched plumes of steam and produced a constant symphony of clanking and hissing sounds. Massive airships tethered to spires gently swayed in the breeze, poised for takeoff, while pneumatic tubes snaked above, carrying messages and parcels with an audible whoosh.

The atmosphere was a harmonious blend of historical elegance and mechanical progress, creating a unique and captivating visual feast that transported the players to different eras.

In this steampunk city, they couldn't help but notice the stark contrast it presented compared to their experiences in other locations. Here, they found themselves amidst a high concentration of formidable players, many of them boasting impressive levels and decked out in top-tier equipment. It was a city inhabited by some of the most skilled players.

What truly set this city apart was the prominence of renowned guilds. Players proudly displayed their guild emblems. These emblems were like badges of honor, signifying the prestige and reputation of the guilds to which they belonged.

As they walked through the bustling streets of Brovh City, Vivian couldn't help but bring up a particular topic of interest. "I heard that Death Pit is not an easy dungeon to conquer, and it's considered one of the most challenging dungeons ever created in this game," she remarked, her voice filled with a mix of curiosity and awe.

Death Pit, they knew, was a dungeon situated within Brovh City itself. Accessing it required navigating the bustling steampunk landscape and seeking out the entrance. Based on the information Allen had gathered from forum posts and player discussions, it was clear that the Death Pit was not a place for the faint of heart. Few players dared to venture into this perilous dungeon, opting for safer and more accessible alternatives like the nearby mine dungeon.

Jane chimed in, adding to the discussion. "Yeah," she confirmed, "I've heard that the monsters in Death Pit have significantly high levels." Her words emphasized the daunting challenge that lay ahead for any players who dared to explore its depths.

Vivian was eager to share more information about the dreaded Death Pit. "And I've heard that the ghost monsters in there are unlike the typical ghost monsters found in other dungeons," she added, her voice carrying a hint of fascination.

Allen couldn't resist providing further details. "That's right," he confirmed. "The Death Pit's boss monsters are some of the most numerous when compared to other dungeons. There are a total of eleven boss monsters within its depths, and they're divided into three different levels of power."

Larissa turned to Allen with a raised eyebrow. "Wow! That's quite a number," she exclaimed. Her curiosity was piqued. "Does that mean there are players who have successfully ventured deep into that dungeon?" she inquired.

With a nod, Allen confirmed her suspicions. "Yes," he said. "There's a player, an active member of the gaming forums. He's an assassin who loves to explore and uncover new places and dungeons on his own. He does it to accumulate points by capturing images of rare monsters and sharing them on the game's website for rewards." Allen went on to reveal an intriguing facet of this player's activities. "He also sells valuable information about his discoveries in new maps or dungeons to players who are eager to learn more about them." It was clear that this player had found a unique niche in the gaming world, making a name for themselves as both an explorer and an information broker within the game.

Zoe was impressed with the innovative approach. "That's a smart way to earn coins and grab limited edition rewards at the same time," she praised, genuinely surprised by the player's unorthodox method. It wasn't illegal, but it was certainly a unique and clever way to make a name for oneself in the gaming world.

Allen elaborated further, shedding light on the player's methods. "Yes," he explained. "He often employs his Hiding skill to slip into various locations unnoticed and evade monsters. He takes a quick screenshot, then dashes away to confront another monster. His goal is usually to face each monster at least once to gauge its strength." This type of player was a rare breed, one motivated by a deep curiosity about the intricacies of the game world rather than a desire to become the most powerful or vanquish the game's antagonists. They were travelers in the gaming realm, driven by a desire to explore and discover.

Bella couldn't resist chiming in with a dose of realism. She shook her head and shrugged, her tone carrying a hint of skepticism. "Come on, stop with this cliché talk," she quipped, playfully teasing her companions. "You guys always say this whenever we venture into a new dungeon. High-level monsters, mobs, or tons of loot. But, in the end, it rarely lives up to our expectations," she pointed out. Her reminder was clear: they were the ultimate bosses of this game.

Alice couldn't help but deliver a witty retort, her tone laced with humor. "Oh, pardon us, ALMIGHTY PLAYER. Maybe that's because most of us know this information from gaming forums, from other players. So, we simply repeat what they said in that forum," she quipped, the sarcasm palpable. Her gaze shifted toward Bella, who couldn't contain a chuckle.

"Don't worry about it, noob. I understand," joked Bella.

In response to this light jesting, Shea chimed in with a sly grin. "But in this case," she added, emphasizing the significance of their current challenge, "Death Pit is indeed one of the most difficult dungeons in this game." The others nodded in agreement, acknowledging the formidable reputation of this particular dungeon.

Then, Shea posed a question, her gaze lingering on Allen. "And you know who owns the idea?" she teased, tilting her head slightly as she pointed toward him.

Allen, considering the possibilities, took a guess. "Emma?" he ventured.

Shea nodded in affirmation. "Exactly," she confirmed. "So, just prepare for the worst," she advised, her tone reflecting a sense of anticipation and a readiness to face the challenges that awaited them in the formidable Death Pit dungeon.nOVE-lB)In
