<h4>Chapter 625: Noxus Wine</h4>


    “What? She has already left!” Lin Yiyi asked unwillingly, “When was it?”


    “Not so long ago.” The dwarf bartender with a braided maroon beard wiped his wine ss, raised his head slightly, and recalled, “That should be three days ago…”


    The primary mission was to collect intelligence on the world map. The “story progression” was at a rtively slow-paced stage.


    The yers formed an elite squad of four and roamed freely underground.


    While the yers dispelled nightmares and established teleportation waypoints, they worked on tracking down the Captain of the Stone, Celecia.


    Lin Yiyi led the four-yer team, including Suuankou, Jiu Er, Citalopram, and herself. They were the team in the lead of obtaining critical information.


    They arrived at the southernmost part of the Denizoya Kingdom, below the “Lucky Corner”, to establish the “southernmost teleportation waypoint”.


    The Denizoya Kingdom was arge ind nation.


    Its southernmost part was once called the “Dragon Hunt Penins”.


    As early as the Sanguinary Battle period, it was sted and sunk by a Gold Rank Destruction Wizard, leaving only a small sharp corner by the north. This ce happened to be a town surrounded by farms. Later, the town was renamed the “Lucky Corner”.


    The entire penins was sunk, and almost all the residents were killed in the sea or the explosion. Only this town was lucky to escape. The town even achieved the miracle of no casualties.


    Sure enough, it was “good luck”.


    After the United Kingdom’s Great Barrier began to operate, the Lucky Corner was the southernmost part of the known civilized world.


    Among the four countries on the face of the, the United Kingdom was the “most fragmented” piece. Austere-Winter was aplete piece. Although Austere-Winter was considered a dukedom, its territory was thergest.


    Austere-Winter even bordered directly with the Papal Kingdom to the east, and it was only 30 nautical miles away from the Freezing Water Port at its southwestern tip. And this oceanic trench was also naturally formed — of course, when the Imperial Capital was still standing, it was just a river.


    After the sudden death of the imperial and the Sanguinary Battle, Austere-Winter’s Grand Duke chose to uphold the longstanding tradition of the Duchy instead of seizing the opportunity to dere themselves a kingdom. That was why it remained as a dukedom.


    Like the current Denizoya Kingdom, they were also duchies in the beginning.


    If the four nations were put together on the map, it was roughly shaped like a handle. Noah upied the most fertilend in the continent’s northwest corner, as well as several scattered inds in the east and south.


    The United Kingdom upied thergest inds south of Noah, as well as a vertical “big ind”.


    Thisrge ind was the Denizoya Kingdom.


    Instead, the Destructive Wizards during the Sanguinary Battle period created the oceanic trench with explosions.


    As the nation with the most Destruction Wizards, the United Kingdom was also the nation with the most Destruction Wizards assassinated.


    That was why they were the most fragmented country.


    The central part of the United Kingdom was the “grip” part on the left side of the handle. Many of those scattered inds were sted out from the main ind.


    The oceanic trench between the United Kingdom and the Noah Kingdom was not always as wide…


    This terrain was created from wizard battles in the form of explosions. Part of it used to belong to Noah, and another part used to belong to the United Kingdom. In particr, the people of Denizoya United Kingdom were expertise in bombing across the border.


    Denizoya people believe that the equivalent bombing could solve all problems. If it did not solve the problem, it was probably because the bombing was not enough.


    Destruction Wizard’s core concept was the “deterrence that brings peace”. It was also a typical Denizoya ideology.


    Even if the person was not a Destruction Wizard, ordinary Denizoya people had this concept too.


    Just like the dwarf store manager in front of Lin Yiyi and the others. It was the first dwarfmunity that the yers had found.


    Although the dwarfs had moved underground, they retained the Denizoya tradition. For example, these dwarfs drinking in the tavern and those red-haired individuals, each carrying a gun… it was enough to make one’s heart skip a beat.


    As it turned out, the underground world had no affiliation with the above-ground part.


    The underground region still maintained a strong connection with the city directly above it when it came to folklore or tradition.


    From the underground of Austere-Winter Dukedom to the underground of Denizoya Kingdom, the most noticeable change was the significant increase in the “weapon possession rate,” exceeding 300%.


    Firearms existed only as secondary weapons at Sporeggar Mill.


    The situation was quite different in a medium-sized town called “Saltpeter Ranch” in the underground world of the Denizoya Kingdom.


    Even older people and children here carried weapons. Firearms were given the highest priority… Even if the person didn’t carry a gun, he would carry a crossbow, dagger, or hatchet.


    At Sporeggar Mill, the men would hide even if they were armed. Everyone wore wearing heavy clothes to prevent people from seeing how much wealth and weapons they had.


    Everyone was eager to show their guns and wealth at the Saltpeter Ranch.


    Lin Yiyi even encountered a man named “Ike Searing-Fang,” the creator of the dungeon known as Nightmare: The Wizard Among Us. She also witnessed a unique essory that belonged to the Shield of Unfallen — arge golden chain resembling a mahjong tile.


    That essory is actually a specialty of this region.


    There were even shops dedicated to selling these items. They had styles with gold ting, bronze designs, and even genuine gold ones. Moreover, the inscriptions on the mahjong tiles seemed to carry different meanings.


    Just like tattoos, they even represented differences in status and identity.


    Different levels of status… also corresponded to different types that could be purchased.


    The Denizoya people believed that possessing wealth was a form of power. They would actively disy their entire power as much as possible.


    yers even witnessed a peculiar attire—a gun holster attached to the forearm, where they would simply tuck their guns. It was like a unique mechanical device resembling a hidden sleeve arrow but located on the outer side of the arm rather than the inner side.


    There was a higher poption of transcenders. Of course, the yers didn’t know if they were people merely “dressed up” as transcenders, mixing in the crowd.


    ording to this custom of the Denizoya people, such people must exist.


    This custom even led to Lin Yiyi and her group being immediately recognized as “outsiders” upon their arrival here.


    Initially, this made their progress easier.


    The people there didn’t harbor any anti-foreigner sentiment.


    Instead, it was a more severe situation. Everyone followed thew of the jungle and bullied the weak.


    Incidentally, Lin Yiyi and the others could enter the tavern and gather information without any trouble because of the incident when Jiu Er had gotten fed up with repeated confrontations from the robbers.


    From that point on, no one bothered with the yers.
