BXBX NOVEL Chapter 262 Creating the Inner Wall
Chapter 262 Creating the Inner Wall
The perk of having thirty floors was gaining one extra floor. The floor we were on was actually not the extra floor since dungeons always had an extra floor once conquered. The extra floor perk was not added to the dungeon yet, so all I had to do was click the [+1] icon to implement it.
"Hm? Is it just me, or did the dungeon shake a little bit?"
"I feel that too, Mylene." Mom agreed with Mother. "It must be the thing that Raphael just did."
"Well, I just added an extra floor, so the shaking is probably indicating its construction, maybe?"
Almost immediately after I clicked the extra floor perk, the room slightly shook for a very short time, around the magnitude scale of 2. It only took place once, and it never happened again.
When I looked at the screen, it showed that the process of construction was already 100 percent complete. I was afraid to say it, but I thought the construction of the extra floor had been finished at a frightening speed.
"And I think it has already been built."
"Isn\'t it way too soon? My sister expressed her surprise. "Didn\'t you just build it literally a few seconds ago?"
"Yeah, I did. This is the dungeon we are talking about, so everything about it is beyond our common sense."
In the blink of an eye, a brand new extra floor had been constructed in the dungeon. As of now, this dungeon had one hundred two floors in total, including the one we were on, and more would be added later.
The third perk of this dungeon had been implemented as smoothly as silk. The next thing was the 4th perk, a privilege that allows the Dungeon Mastes to add a wall to the Surface Floor.
"Should I add a wall on the surface?"
"By the wall, you mean those black walls surrounding the dungeon cities like in the Imperial Capital?"
"Yes, Mom, that kind of wall."
The black walls that skirted the cities with dungeons with forty floors or more were the work of the perk. In reality, the walls around those cities were technically called Inner Walls. It meant that there were Outer Walls, which we would discuss later.
The dimensions of the Inner Walls were based on the size of the dungeon. From the description, it was written that the radius of the wall was equivalent to half the radius of the Surface floor, and the height was half the number of floors in meters. In this case, the Inner Wall should have a diameter of ten kilometers and stand fifty meters high.
"But if you do that, would it disturb the inhabitants above?"
"Nah, they would be fine, Mother. You don\'t have to worry that much."
"If you say so..."
When I read the perks earlier, I had secretly sent an order to Azrael to inform the villagers and the tailed foxes about the upcoming changes in the plain. Upon receiving his report that the inhabitants had moved to a safe place, I then pressed the perk icon to initiate the wall building.
Unlike adding the extra floor, the place did not shake. Well, the construction took place at the surface, so the tranquility actually made sense. But when I used Clairvoyance and took a look at what was happening above, the plain was currently having small earthquakes.
I then went to the [Home] page of the [Dungeon] application and clicked the [Surveillance] option. A long list of the floors flashed on the screen, around a hundred in total. I clicked on the first one in the list, which was [Floor 0: Surface], and the other screen on the left displayed the real-time situation on the surface.
"Wow. The dungeon can do that?"
"Yeah, Mom."
Dungeons had this [Surveillance] feature to monitor the dungeon floor by floor. Each floor had a Clairvoyance that served as an eye for surveying the dungeon, and they could be freely steered and moved by sliding the screen and using the arrow keys on the keyboard.
"So, the master can see what is happening in the dungeon, right?"
"That\'s right, Mother. If the master really focused on the specific floor."
"T-that means that," Mother then started talking with a shaky voice. "The Dungeon Master, which was most likely the Imperial Emperor, had been watching me make out with your Mom...!"
"Hmph. At least we did not take baths or do the deed inside."
"Claire...!"
It seemed that they were guilty of making out inside dungeons. But I did not mind about it; they were only seeing them kissing. I should be the only man to see their naked bodies.
Going back to the topic, I panned and zoomed the Clairvoyance to the horizon. Judging from the trees around, there was an earthquake happening on the surface.
A few seconds later, the grassy earth seemed to protrude, and then a black surface gradually surfaced from the ground. A moment later, that black thing turned out to be stones. The wall was actually emerging from the earth instead of being constructed.
As time went on, the wall grew taller and taller. Even though it was not seen on the screen, my own Clairvoyance could clearly see the awestruck expressions of the villagers; a few were even afraid.
A few minutes later, the walls finally stopped rising, and now there was a fifty-meter-tall wall in the prairie. Luckily enough, the wall was far from destroying the fields, and no one was harmed in the process.
Like other walls, it had four entry points, with black metallic gates, in each cardinal direction. The wall was around five meters thick, so thick that the top could be passed by even vehicles.
"The wall has been successfully erected without a hitch. Let\'s move on to the 5th perk..."
