Chapter 229 204, [Door] and [Nightmare Guardian]
```
At that moment,
Gale had just returned from the master blacksmith and heard the news that Lin Da had connected the three layers.
With a hint of curiosity in his eyes, he hurried back to the villa and turned on the special magic replay device in his room.
A pale blue tablet stone projected the live strategy of the Phoenix Tail Flower Team on the eighth layer.
Poison Dragon's Roar.
Falling Rock Technique.
Super Theft.
Each member of the Phoenix Tail Flower Team displayed their ultimate skill, making Gale's eyes brighten.
The first thing was that they were special.
Their ultimate skills were different from most people's.
Adventurers of the same profession would comprehend essentially the same ultimate skill by level 20.
Like the Swordsman's "Radiant Cross Slash."
The healing profession's "Dedicated Healing."
The thief's "Triple Assassination."
They were common as dirt.
But the Phoenix Tail Flower Team's ultimate skills were unique and had wonderful uses, possessing a strong irreplaceability in their adventures.
Especially Lin Da's Poison Dragon's Roar, its damage so high that Gale took a while to recover his senses.
"This Lin Da always surprises me," said Gale, unable to help but chuckle.
He went to the dojo on the top floor of the villa and spoke to Abner, who was in loose white practice clothes, meditating, "Leader, there's something I think you should be notified of."
Abner still had his eyes closed, his breathing steady, as if he were asleep.
The vital aura of his entire being blended in with the surroundings.
If Gale closed his eyes and used his magic power to sense around him, he would find the dojo empty except for himself, unable to detect Abner at all.
Gale knew that Abner was listening.
"I previously thought that the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team had the potential to challenge the Iron Level, and that was a misjudgment," Gale said with a sigh.
"?"
Abner's eyes opened a sliver, revealing a hint of confusion. The commander from White Dove was very competent and hardly made wrong judgments.
During the victory celebration, Abner publicly showed friendship with the Phoenix Tail Flower, a gesture suggested by Gale.
And now he was telling him... a misjudgment?
"Yes, a misjudgment, a colossal one," Gale said with a smile. "I now believe they have a chance to break the second magic curse of White Dove City. It's been thirty years since White Dove City has seen a Sun Adventure Group."
Sunrise Level.
These three words fiercely tugged at Abner's heart.
Abner's rhythm of breathing became erratic.
The Sunrise Level was the goal that White Dove Adventure Group had been striving for nearly ten years.
To be called a "Sun Adventure Group," one had to enter the 20th layer of the Great Mystery Continent, and the group needed to have at least one Moon rank adventurer who had reached level 40.
Just as their name implied, such adventure teams were like the sunrise for a city.
The White Dove Adventure Group had been stuck before the 19th layer for three years.
A wall too high to surmount was blocking them.
Because of the "Door."
Starting from the 19th layer, each city's World Tree contained different nightmare magical creatures.
They were the gatekeepers to the door leading to the next layer, respawning timelessly within the various World Trees.
If an adventure team could kill the nightmare magical creatures and destroy the "Door," then the teams following could face just the ordinary 19th-layer magical creatures until the nightmare magical creatures respawned.
The nightmare magical creatures acted like an openly hidden BOSS, with the task of their subjugation falling to the powerful adventure teams.
If no one fought them, they just kept existing.
Actually, the White Dove Adventure Group already had the qualifications to become a Sunrise Level adventure group. If they transferred their adventurer registers to other cities currently without a "Door" in their World Tree and fought the ordinary 19th layer, it would be a near certainty.
But Abner was unwilling to settle for that.
```
```
All adventure teams that made it further have destroyed the "Gate" and killed the Nightmare Creatures.
This is the inevitable path for the strong.
Moreover, President Velen has been of great help to the White Dove Adventure Group.
Abner is also in a semi-official status and will join the Imperial Knights in the future, becoming an official force.
Therefore, destroying the existence of the "Gate," to pave the way for other adventurers in White Dove City to reach Sunrise Level, is the responsibility of Abner and the White Dove Adventure Group.
Without a Sun Adventure Group, the adventurers of White Dove City cannot hold their heads high in the Great Mystery Continent.
When facing teams with adventurers of level 40 Moon Rank, Abner and his comrades have to repeatedly give way.
Abner longs to see that teleportation array leading to the 20th floor.
They might succeed, but sooner or later they will leave White Dove City. When a new "Gate" appears, which adventure team will take on the responsibility to pave the way for the adventurers of White Dove City?Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Will they directly transfer their adventurer registration and go to another city?
Abner was worried about this.
He took the magic replay device from Gale and watched the entire strategy of the Phoenix Tail Flower Team in silence.
After a while.
"How is it?" Gale asked.
"It's indeed a huge miscalculation."
A flicker of surprise and fighting spirit shone in Abner's usually calm eyes.
"If the Phoenix Tail Flower one day catches up, I do hope to have a battle with them."
After pondering for a moment, Abner added, "Inform the other teams, unless they have something particularly urgent, everyone will go to the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team tomorrow.
Initially, the White Dove Adventure Group only planned to send two people.
But after seeing this strategy replay, Abner changed his mind.
The entire White Dove Adventure Group will pay a visit to Lin Da.
Abner intends to nurture the Phoenix Tail Flower to become the next pillar of White Dove City.
...
The next morning.
In front of the villa of the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team, the streets were bustling with traffic and crowded with people.
One after another, luxurious carriages entered the Goldfinch District.
The male adventurers were in proper tailcoats and suits, while the ladies were in full bloom.
When the girls from various adventure teams took off their armor and donned dresses and gowns, showing off their graceful figures, even their teammates who were with them day and night were amazed.
So that violent woman who wields big hammers, she's got such big bears and buttocks?
When you put your hair up and dress up, you can even get a reaction from your own brother?
Why does that careless swordsman girl look like a young lady from a high-class family when she wears a formal dress?
To those unaware, it looked like a masquerade party.
Pairs of stunning men and women entered the Phoenix Tail Flower's villa, led by waiters.
They were chatting and laughing, greeting each other.
"Robert, you're here so early? Geez, the whole team? I thought I would only see Folie, buddy."
"Pick, look who's talking, didn't your whole team come too?"
"Heard the Black Bear Adventure Team made it to level 13, looking like a sure shot for Iron Level."
"Hey, don't damn jinx it, every year is supposedly our most hopeful year!"
"Drink up!"
The sound of conversation, clinking glasses, and laughter were endless.
Passing adventurers wondered, whose party was it that even put tables out in the street?
Aren't you afraid I'll go complain to City Hall?
But this adventurer had not walked far when he saw an official black carriage with White Dove City Council's emblem on it.
It was Mayor Adel's carriage.
A question mark popped up over the head of the wandering adventurer A.
Visiting adventurer B said bewilderedly, "Whose adventure team's party is this? It's too grand!"
Local adventurer C said proudly, "You don't know, man. It's the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team. The captain just reached level 20 and they're throwing a promotion party!"
Visiting B said in surprise, "The Eye of True Knowledge?"
