Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons

Chapter 918 795: The Rising Fame of Platinum Country

In the resplendent stone hall, Orochi began to explain the reason for today's gathering.

"You all know that with the opening of the World Soul, patrol and protection on the periphery is led by the newly ascended Brilliant Monarch."

Everyone nodded; this was not particularly surprising information.

It is said that when the World Ring opens, patrol and protection are required on the periphery.

This is because the opening of the World Ring makes the fluctuations of the Mist World hard to conceal.

This exposure makes the Mist World easy to be detected.

Neighboring worlds around the Mist World and some unfriendly entities might attempt to spy on it.

Some beings simply can't resist taking a look at the unknown Mist World.

More malicious ones can't resist throwing some power inside, or planting some dirty things there.

Others might directly choose to invade, intending to damage this exposed world.

The opening of the World Ring also leaves the Mist in a state similar to a weakened human body.

During this time, its constitution gets weakened.

This might cause external firewalls to suffer lapses, genuinely allowing some malicious entities to infiltrate and cause damage.

That's why this patrol and protection task exists.

"This time, there are many scum attempting to spy, so be more vigilant when exploring outside the Mist.

If you don't have anything at hand, you can temporarily join the patrol team for protection, and you will also be rewarded."

After hearing Orochi's first point, everyone nodded, whispering among themselves briefly.

"Alright, the second matter is related to the Dalaki Council's commission, which is issued to all powerful beings in the colored stage."

"The Dalaki Council discovered three interconnected fragments outside the Mist, with high energy reactions. They're uncertain of handling it alone and are now gathering additional help."

"If anyone is interested, you can head to the outer ring city afterward where they will gather the team."

After discussing these two items, Orochi finally sat down.

"These are the only two pieces of information this time. Since everyone is here, let's take the opportunity to exchange thoughts."

Kane scanned the people present.

Quite rare indeed.

No one left immediately after the information was shared, seems like everyone had something on their mind.

Usually, every time Orochi finished speaking, someone would immediately leave.

This time, everyone stayed seated, the first time Kane saw this, and also the first time all members were present.

"Ahem, I have something to say."

It was Lorelot speaking, a... uh, Kane also doesn't know which race he belongs to. It's known that this race is extremely rare in the Mist World.

On top of his head sits a horn akin to a rhinoceros beetle, with four noticeably pointed ears.

Other than that, he wasn't much different from an ordinary human.

"I recently encountered a World Fragment outside the Mist, which has a dangerous event on it. After investigating, I found I couldn't handle it alone and needed a reliable partner."

As he spoke, his gaze swept across everyone present, implying he sought a reliable partner from the gathering to team up for the task.

Upon hearing his words, Archie raised his hand.

A presence Kane hadn't anticipated.

"Archie will be the partner!"

Looking at Archie, Lorelot nodded with no intention of refusing: "Sure, I'll find you after the gathering ends."

Having spoken, he promptly left his seat, opening a Teleportation Gate and departed.

Truly acting without any hesitation.

Soon after, several people began sharing their matters one after another.

Some, like Lorelot, sought team partners, while others asked people to keep an eye out for certain materials.

After all, this gathering comprised Dungeon Controllers, who were significantly stronger than ordinary three-colored strong beings outside.

They could be considered the elite among the elite.

Therefore, team-up requests for help were mostly sought within the gathering, only being publicly posted outside if no one was willing.

After all, those present at the gathering had become quite familiar with each other, and their strengths were more reliable.

Once everyone had spoken their piece, only seven remained behind.

Almost every time, these seven would stay back for some casual chat.

Seeing the scene, Bagri, with great self-awareness, took out a large assortment of desserts and drinks from his Space Equipment, placing them on the stone table.

As the President of the Food Association, it was hard to believe these people stayed behind solely for his desserts.

Mistral sat at his spot with a content expression, sipping tea before him.

He was a typical Sun Elf, a race that, although not large in the Mist World, is undoubtedly powerful.

Sun Elves are a classic elf race, possessing handsome looks, dressed elegantly and artistically.

Whether in Magic or Martial Arts, they are immensely talented.

Mistral is a representative of his race's image, fitting the external perception of Sun Elves perfectly.

Except for the first time Kane attended the meeting when he wasn't there, Mistral was present at almost every other meeting, always staying for a chat afterward.

After taking another bite of dessert, he looked across at Kane.

"Kane, you're the President of the Lantern Guild, right?"
