Chapter 211: As long as you carry the ladder, you can go anywhere!

~17 min read 3,215 words

I took away four huge rolls of toilet paper at the hot spring hotel.
Insert a wooden horse head on the front end of the toilet paper, and a vehicle that can be used for moving in the dungeon is completed.
This thing is not slow.
There really weren't any monsters to stop us along the way.
Not to mention that there was a monster blocking them, they didn't even see a monster.
Occasionally, I see a monster from a distance, but the other person will run away as soon as they see them.
It's as if they are the terrifying demon kings.
In this way, the journey will be smooth.
Not long after, they arrived at the underground city area near the Water Capital.
It has to be said that the underground city spans a very wide area.
Its scenery is not static either.
Depending on the area, the scenery of the underground city is also different.
Because Tom Mu and the others were on their way, they did not explore the dungeon carefully.
So there is still a large area that is not well understood.
But what they saw along the way was a series of scenes such as underground forests, underground passages, and underground ruined prosperous cities.
What is now in front of Tom Mu and the others is like an underground temple.
But this kind of temple can be said to be an underwater temple.
"Wow, so beautiful."
Shizuka stood at the entrance of the temple and looked up.
After coming out of a deep tunnel, what appeared in front of them was an underwater building similar to Atlantis.
Above their heads is a blue ocean.
The sparkling sea water flowed gently above, and the light refracted through the ocean fell on Tom Mu and the others, one after another.
Here, there seems to be some mysterious force blocking the sea water.
The sea water cannot fall, so activities in this peculiar underground city area will not be affected in any way.
"Look, there are sharks."
Nobita looked like he was visiting an underwater paradise. He pointed to the top of his head, where a huge shark with a white belly was slowly swimming by.
A group of people continued to walk towards the temple while admiring the strange and gorgeous underwater scenery around them.
Here, some figures can already be seen.
Those people should all be adventurers.
There are adventurers who act alone, but most of them form groupsown team.
Seeing Tom Mu and the others coming, some adventurers also cast their gazes at them.
One of them, a red-haired man, asked familiarly: "You came from other dungeon areas, right? Did you encounter any monsters on the way?"
When Nobita heard this, he shook his head and said, "There's no trace, not even a single monster was seen."
"Hey! This is really strange. Could it be that the monsters also have a holiday and won't be working during this time?"
The red-haired adventurer scratched his hair in great distress.
These people make a living by killing monsters.
Because I have been living a life of licking blood, I usually lose it immediately after making a little money.
I will continue to go out until I am almost out of money.
Most of the people who can appear here now are people who don't have much savings.
If the monsters never appear, there is no way to earn money by defeating monsters. In order not to starve to death, they will have to find other money-making jobs.
However, most people may not be able to let go of that figure.
There are monsters only if there is a devil.
A large group of people shouted to defeat the monster.

But if the devil is really defeated, these monsters will disappear.
I don't know how this group of adventurers who relied on monsters for a living would feel at that time.
For the sake of your own job, will you take the initiative to help the devil?
It's quite interesting when Tom thinks about it.
But in Tom Mu's opinion, the devil should be beaten.
After all, most of the people who work as adventurers are in the minority.
​​And basically possesses unique skills.
It is not difficult to find a job to make a living.
But for ordinary people, the existence of monsters and demon kings is unnecessary.
The harm they do to ordinary people is really too great.
"Nobita, Tom, we can go up this way."
Doraemon found the stairs to leave the dungeon first, and immediately jumped there and greeted Tom and the others loudly.
After everyone heard this, they immediately ran over there.
Because there are no monsters in the dungeon.
Like Tom Mu and others, many adventurers began to walk up the stairs.
This staircase is wide enough for ten people to stand side by side.
It is a spiral.
After walking up to a height of probably hundreds of meters, everyone finally reached the ground.
Above the stairs, it seems to be connected to the periphery of a temple.
However, Tom Mu and the others did not take a closer look, they just took a general look and walked out.
The temple door is open, and the sun is shining outside. The dazzling sunlight seems to have formed a wall of light at the door.
When walking out of the door.
Because they came from a dim light source to a dazzling light source area, everyone subconsciously raised their hands to block the sun and squinted their eyes.
After their eyes adjusted to the light a little, Tang Mu and the others put down their hands and finally saw the scene outside clearly.
"Wow!!!"
After seeing the scene outside clearly, Tang Mu and the others couldn't help but widen their eyes and exclaimed in amazement.
The scenery here is so magnificent and unimaginable.
In the real world, it is absolutely impossible to see such a scene.
They had always heard of the Water City before, but in their imagination, the so-called Water City should be a coastal city, or a city like Venice.
I have to say that they did guess a little bit, but not completely.
This is indeed a coastal area, because the entire city is directly surrounded by the ocean.
As for whether it is a city of a thousand bridges like Venice, you have to enter the city to know.
Where they are now, they haven't even entered the city yet.
In front of Tang Mu and the others, there was a waterway several kilometers long.
He is like a viaduct, going straight forward and connecting to the entrance to the Water City in the distance.
However, this viaduct is not a road, but slowly flowing sea water.
If you want to go to the Water City, you must take a boat.
"We are going to the water capital."
Doraemon stepped forward with short legs and talked with a guy who looked like a businessman.
Soon he spent some gold coins and rented a small boat from him.
There is a boatman on the boat.
After Tom Mu and others got on the boat, the boatman shouted, and the boat started to move straight forward along the several kilometers long waterway.
The sea breeze blew in front of us, causing the hair of everyone on the boat to float gently.
Tom Mu lay on the side of the boat and looked down the waterway, and couldn't help but open his mouth.
A dozen meters below the waterway is an endless blue sea.
Tom even saw some sea fish that he had never seen before jump out of the sea, bringing up a sparkling drop of water.
Next to the boat, there were even seabirds flying with it.
Let Tom feel the feeling of freedom.
After approaching the capital of water, the shock of nature began to fade away.
Instead, it is the shock brought by the wonders of human architecture.
At the gate of Water City, there are huge angel stone statues over 100 meters tall on the left and right sides.
One of them is looking in the direction of the Water Capital, and the other is looking in the direction outside the Water Capital.
Anyone who wants to go to or leave the Water City must go by themgo through.
Fortunately, neither Tom nor the others have a phobia of giant objects.
Otherwise, when you see these two hundred-meter-high angel stone statues, your little heart may really not be able to bear it.
After passing the stone statue, the speed of the boat began to slow down significantly.
They are about to enter the Water City.
Once again, we passed by a building that looked like a triumphal arch.
The boat has entered the water city along the waterway.
This peculiar city is completely built in the center of the ocean.
I have been guessing what the inside of the Water City is like before.
​You know it now.
It is indeed very similar to Venice.
There are almost no roads inside, all roads are made of sea water.
Countless bridges of various sizes span waterways and connect pieces of land.
There are even many tall adjacent buildings, with high-altitude bridges built in mid-air.
The first impression of this city on Tom Mu was quite good.
The city is very clean and tidy.
There is freshness and sunshine everywhere.
The civilians living here seem very happy.
A positive atmosphere can quickly infect tourists who come to the Water City for the first time.
At least Tom Mu and the others are in a good mood now.
"Okay, I'll take you here. If you want to go somewhere, just look for those fishtail boats, they will take you to your destination."
The boatman parked the boat at a small pier and turned to talk to Tom Mu and the others.
The fishtail boat he was referring to is very common in the Water City.
It should be a kind of public transportation.
"Okay, thank you, uncle."
Everyone got off the boat and stood on the dock waving to the boatman.
The boatman also waved his hand and steered the boat to turn around and return.
He has to transport a large number of customers in and out every day. This is his job.
"Tom, where are we going next?"
Doraemon turned to look at Tom Mu.
It was Tang Mu who suggested coming to the Water Capital. Now that the Water Capital has arrived, it is natural that Tang Mu should continue to lead the team.
Tang Mu patted his chest, indicating that everything was taken care of by him.
In the dream of the mayor of the initial town, it had already asked for all the information it wanted to know.
The real sword of the brave is in the basement of the former queen's mansion in the Water City.
Yes, the queen of the former king of this continent is from the Water Capital, the eldest daughter of a duke.
The place where she originally lived has been renamed the former Queen's Mansion.
We found a fishtail boat and after explaining the location clearly, the fishtail boat began to row gently towards the destination.
Along the way, everyone was admiring the scenery of the Water City.
If they didn't have other business to do, Nobita and Shizuka would still like to have a good time in this city.
"Everyone, the guests have arrived."
The fishtail boat stopped at the shore.
Tang Mu took out the gold coins and paid the money, and everyone jumped off the boat together.
In front of them was a building that covered a very large area and looked very majestic.
However, this is obviously a heavily guarded private property, and not everyone can enter.
Nobita also saw the armored knight standing outside the door of the former Queen's Mansion, and said with some embarrassment: "How should we go in? Will there be a conflict?"
"There are quite a few guards here. How about we wait and see and try to sneak in at night?"
Doraemon also looked at the guard over there, thinking of a solution to the problem.
"Tsk tsk tsk"
When Tang Mu saw them like this, he suddenly puffed up his little chest proudly and clucked his tongue.
"Has little Tom thought of a way to get in?"
When Shizuka saw Tang Mu's appearance, she knew that there must be a solution.
Tom grinned and gave a thumbs up, assuring that there would be no problem.
You can definitely get in easily, and you won't be blocked by anyone.
A few minutes later, a strange group of people carrying ladders appeared at the gate of the former Queen's Palace.
The guards, who were holding long guns and seemed to be doing nothing at first, suddenly became energetic.
They have to stand here every day, which is too boring.
Only a little accident can make their time on guard less painful.
"Where did they come from? Do you want to stop them?"
"They should be here to repair something, right? Sister Boochun, are they carrying a ladder?"
"It's true. Can we stop it?"
"Theoretically speaking, no matter who enters the mansion, they must be stopped and checked to prove their identity."
"But they are carrying the ladder."
"Well...but this is our duty..."
"But the cat in the front has such an upright expression."
"They look very upright. It feels like there is something urgent. Why don't we waste their time?"
"That's right, we won't stop it anymore."
While the two guards were talking, Tom Mu and two cats, carrying a ladder, had arrived at the gate of the mansion.
Tom Mu at the front had an upright face, with a hint of anxiety in his uprightness.

On the other hand, I held my head high and had no stage fright at all.
Behind them, Nobita, Shizuka and Doraemon experienced this kind of battle for the first time. They were sweating profusely and their calves were shaking.
The main thing is that this method is completely different from what they imagined before.
CarryCan you enter the heavily guarded former queen's residence with a ladder?
This is a bit too exaggerated.
But Tom had already prepared everything, so they had no choice but to take the risk together.
Seeing the door getting closer and closer, Nobita and the others became more and more nervous, and their hearts were beating fast.
"Whoops!"
At this moment, there was a sound of armor clashing.
Doraemon and Nobita were so frightened that their hair exploded.
They thought the guards were about to attack.
Fortunately, they at least stood at attention, and then moved to both sides, leaving the door open.
The guards inside were even holding the door open for them.
Under the attention of these guards, Tang Mu and the others easily entered the former queen's mansion without any hindrance.
This level of ease made Nobita and the others feel unbelievable for a while.
After actually coming in, Nobita even felt a little weak in his legs.
"Come in, come in, and you are actually let in? Why is this?"
Nobita felt a little confused in his head.
Doraemon shook his head, not quite understanding.
When you have the props, you can do all this.
But Tang Mu obviously just picked up a ladder on the roadside, why could he do this?
Is it possible that a large number of 22nd century props have been assembled in its body?
Doraemon also has many thoughts in his mind.
Shizuka smiled happily: "Little Tom is so awesome."
Tom Mu raised his chin proudly, what a big deal.
As long as you behave naturally enough, holding a ladder in your hand and pretending to be a staff member, you can go wherever you want for free.
Before Tom turned into a cat, he used this trick to get into a movie theater for free.
Not to mention now.
There are guards not only outside the gate, but there are also many patrolling guards inside the mansion.
However, neither the guards nor the servants in the mansion showed any special expression after seeing Tom Mu and the others.
That's called an unimpeded flow.
The Sword of the Brave is in the basement.
There is also a secret room there.
The mayor of the initial town knew so much about it, so Tom felt that his identity was probably not simple.
But now is not the time to explore this.
Following the memory, Tang Mu and the others came to the garden of the mansion.
In the middle of the garden, there is a quite luxurious Angel Fountain.
At the bottom of the fountain, there is a little angel in each of the five directions.
Tom Mu walked over and turned them all in one direction. Behind them, there was a "rumbling" sound.
The ground even shook slightly.
Turning around, you can see that the originally neat altar has been moved away, revealing a dark passage below.
"Wow! It turns out there is a secret passage here. I have been a guard for two and a half years and didn't even know it. I am truly worthy of being a man carrying a ladder."
There happened to be a guard patrolling nearby.
After seeing this secret passage, I sighed.
When Tang Mu saw the separated guard, he waved to him to say hello.
The guard also waved his hand very friendly.
There was no other reaction to a group of strangers opening a secret passage in the mansion.
Nobita and the others are somewhat used to it now, so they just grinned.
A group of people carried ladders and walked straight towards the secret passage.
Following the secret passage all the way down, they came to a very empty underground space.
You can only see two things here.
Facing the door is a huge portrait of the queen.
There is also a sword stuck on the ground in front of the portrait.
That sword looks exactly like the Sword of Invitation.
But according to the mayor, this thing is the real sword of the brave.
"Let's go over and get the sword!"
Doraemon was a little happy to see the Sword of the Brave.
Its props are gone. Now as long as the team can become stronger, everyone's safety will be higher.
This is the reason why Doraemon is happy.
After everyone heard this, they carried the ladder and ran directly towards the Sword of the Brave.
At this moment, it seemed that someone had entered.
The portrait of the queen that originally looked ordinary suddenly changed.
A large amount of blood-red mist spread over the painting.
The surrounding air instantly turned cold.
Upon seeing this abnormal situation, everyone running towards the Sword of the Brave stopped again, wary of the portrait of the queen in front of them.
"I knew it wouldn't be that simple."
Nobita muttered.
At the same time, a pale and slender hand with sharp nails poked out of the painting.
The queen in the painting seemed to come to life.
I am breaking away from the painting and want to come to the world outside the painting.
