Chapter 19 The Ingenious Use of Teleportation Traps
"Arch-shaped, arch-shaped, that's it!"
From a distance, Undine pointed at the bow-shaped relic floating in the sky, and a beam of red light shot out from her fingertip, swelling in the wind and instantly forming a large red net.
The chaotic entity that had previously baffled Undine was instantly enveloped by the large net, shrinking into a small, dark gray ball the size of a fist.
The net shrank in sync, bringing the ball back to Undini's hands, where it churned like a cloud of gray mist.
Following the information accompanying the reward, Undine took the longbow from her back and placed the small ball on her weapon.
She silently chanted the spell, and the small ball immediately transformed into mysterious gray patterns that spread out and were imprinted on the bow.
After a few breaths, Undine noticed the change in the longbow in her hand.
"What's the use of increasing the power and penetrating ability of arrows?"
Undine's eyes widened, and she let out a strange scream that was completely out of character for a beautiful girl, turning to look at Caesar beside her.
"No, no, Kegel, its function is to strengthen arrows, why isn't it supposed to bend seven times in one stroke!"
Undine looked at Caesar with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
Caesar ruthlessly shattered her hopes: "I think the effect of this thing on weapon enchantments might vary depending on the individual being captured."
"Waaaaah, why, damn dungeon, how could it do this?"
The sixty-year-old elven girl couldn't help but voice her accusations. If the dungeon were sentient, she would definitely find the culprit and beat it up.
"Ahem," Caesar coughed lightly and said:
"Undine, why don't you try out the enchanted bow and arrow first? Maybe the effect will exceed your expectations?"
"I hope so."
Undine casually conjured a wind elemental arrow, then drew her bow and nocked it.
"boom!"
The arrow shot out, but instead of making a light, whistling sound, it exploded like thunder, the roar that tore through the air startling Undine.
The arrow whipped up a whirlwind along its path, roaring like a flying dragon, before finally blasting itself into the plain with a deafening boom, creating a crater several meters in diameter.
Undine stood there, stunned by the power of the arrow.
These weren't sharp arrows at all; they were more like the cannons she'd seen in the dwarf city years ago.
If she gathered one-tenth of her total magic power and equipped herself with a good bow that could withstand such a torrent of magic, she might be able to shoot such an arrow.
But she only used her normal archery magic just now; she could shoot arrows like that for half a day!
Without Caesar's prompting, Undine quickly fired another arrow with a 'boom'.
Unsurprisingly, another large crater appeared on the gray plains.
"Oh, my dear reinforced arrows, I was impulsive just now, you are absolutely useful!"
Undine's expression changed instantly, revealing an infatuated look as she rubbed her face against the longbow she had just despised.
"This enchanted bow is truly amazing."
Caesar also came up to offer his congratulations at the opportune moment, and said, seemingly casually:
"If I add your enchantment to my weapon, giving it two enchantment abilities, I can definitely kill monsters of higher levels."
"Two enchantment abilities?" Undine thought of something, picked up her longbow and looked at it. The enchanted patterns only occupied one-third of the weapon, leaving two-thirds blank.
"Does that mean a weapon can be enchanted multiple times...? That's simply..."
Undine imagined herself drawing her bow and firing seven cannonballs at once, and then firing them in rapid succession to easily suppress the monster army.
Just imagining such a scene is enough to make one ecstatic!
"Whether it is or not, we'll have to wait for further verification. We need a second chance to enchant it."
Caesar extended his hand to Undine, inviting her, "I think we can try the lottery again. If we win, great; if not, we'll only have to sacrifice one-tenth of our life force."
Undine was intrigued. She said, "What if we don't hit anything? What will happen to our weapons?"
"We can just hand the prize over to the succubus before the draw," Caesar said gently. "Of course, if we trust each other, we can hold onto it for the other person if they win."
"I trust you!"
Undine received the stockings.
On the surface, Undine waited at the respawn point for a while, somewhat disappointed, only to find that Caesar hadn't respawned.
"Kegel won again? Well, it makes sense. Someone as noble as him shouldn't be expected to win repeatedly."
Undine was happy for Caesar for a while, then went back into the underground city.
On the way, for some reason, slimes kept jumping out and attacking her.
These slimes aren't very strong, but their slime can corrode clothing. To avoid being exposed, it took Undine quite a while to find a teleportation point to the second floor.
"Kegel? What are you doing on the second floor?"
Each teleportation point leads to a different location, but Undine didn't expect to encounter Kegel as soon as she teleported down. She originally intended to go to the succubus inn on the fifth floor to meet Kegel.
"I just came down too," Caesar said. "It took me a while to hand our weapons to the succubus before I failed the lottery."
After saying that, he continued without waiting for Undine's reply:
"I remember the teleportation trap I stepped on before is nearby. How about we use it to go directly to the BOSS level?"
"Wow! You're a genius, Kegel."
Undine was excited: "I'll write back to the Elf Forest in a bit and tell my friends to come here and use the teleportation trap to go down and draw prizes directly."
"That way, even a forty-year-old child won't have to worry about accidents happening along the way."
Caesar nodded in satisfaction; this was exactly the effect he wanted.
Adventurers were teleported directly to the BOSS level from the initial few levels, saving them time and risk, and Caesar also saved himself the life points needed to generate intermediate level monsters.
All are happy.
Of course, most importantly, this will improve the efficiency of adventurers' lottery draws.
As we all know, the simpler the gacha process, the more easily players get hooked.
This principle also applies perfectly to the relationship between adventurers and the North Dungeon.
Meanwhile, Olivia and Lucia each tricked two adventurers, completing the task of giving them a basic understanding of the relics.
Orlando and the rest of the adventurer army are about to reach the sixth level, and everything is proceeding according to Caesar's plan.
