Chapter 489: Chapter 173: Mysterious Backtracking_4

The clue to the puzzle is hidden somewhere within Summer Shepherd City.

Just like the city’s power source, cracking this time loop would also require a research in this direction.

“We need to find the clue as soon as possible…”

“Yes. Otherwise, the time loop may trap us here forever.”

Leonard Churchill and his companions strolled down the streets while discussing potential strategies.

Even though they had Elder Clinton’s cheat code, his amnesia was not reliable at all times.

They might have been trapped in this Mysterious Realm for more than a couple of days already.

No one dared to say there would be no dangers if they continued to be trapped.

They needed to break the loop as soon as possible.

Leonard Churchill pondered, “This city, Summer Shepherd, is not large, and based on my character, I must have tried every possible way to solve the game yesterday. I am still stuck in this time loop, which can only mean a few things: I’ve encountered a seemingly insurmountable obstacle, the time was not enough; or, I overlooked some important clue…”

Not just him, Catherine Carter was also extremely intelligent. Theoretically, they should have done everything they could think of.

Unfortunately, Elder Clinton could not remember.

So the group continued their search for clues on the streets.

The spirits paid no attention to them, and occasionally some gluttonous monsters would glance at the two humans, Catherine Carter and Colin.

Leonard Churchill figured that he must have searched all the shops on the main road before, so this time he chose to investigate some quiet alleys.

As they walked, they suddenly heard the sound of clanging metal.

Looking up, they saw a Blacksmith Shop, with swords and knives hanging at the entrance. The sound of metal being pounded came from within the shop.

Leonard Churchill initially thought that such an obvious building must have been inspected earlier.

Thinking of taking a casual look around the city first, he strolled by.

However, upon entering the alley, Elder Clinton’s intermittent memory suddenly recalled something, “Wait a minute.”

Turning their heads, Leonard Churchill and the others looked over, intrigued: “???”

Elder Clinton frowned and said, “Leonard, you seemed to have stayed quite a while in this shop yesterday.”

Upon hearing this, Leonard Churchill immediately perked up. He didn’t ask anything further and directly went into the shop.

Next to the red-hot furnace, he saw a very robust Minotaur.

[Grand Master Craftsman Maphas]

Description: A master craftsman who excels at forging extraordinary weapons; Unknown level Catastrophe; Friendly;

As soon as Leonard Churchill saw this Minotaur, he knew exactly why he had stayed here last time.

He directly asked, “Excuse me…”

Before he could finish, the Minotaur cut him off: “%&*(® ¥#…”

The Minotaur didn’t even look up, continuing to further shape the longsword blank in his hand.

Leonard Churchill looked at the elder next to him for translation. Elder Clinton said, “I think it said, ‘This is no place for humans’…”

Upon hearing this, Leonard Churchill felt quite delighted.

This Minotaur was very intelligent!

Since he had stayed for a long time previously, there was no need to beat around the bush. He immediately pulled out a Containment Card and declared, “Release.”

A fist-sized piece of silver metal appeared in front of him.

This was the Divine Agility Alloy of Rhea which he exchanged at a great cost in War Mode!

No craftsman in Sinless City knew how to forge this Divine Agility Alloy.

Even among the entire Federation’s master blacksmiths, no one was known to be able to forge a scalpel suited to his needs.

Now seeing this grand master, Leonard Churchill immediately knew what his intentions were last time.

He also took out the Plague Doctor’s Scalpel, this relic, and gestured: could you forge a scalpel like this?

There was no need to ask, the Tauren certainly understood.

Perhaps due to the ” +15 Undead Affinity of Summer Shepherd City”, the Tauren did not refuse and said a couple of sentences.

Leonard Churchill was overjoyed. From the Tauren’s composed expression, he knew that the Tauren could forge it!

Elder Clinton translated, “It says it can forge it, but seems to want you to give something…some item…”

Leonard Churchill asked, “What item?”

Labor costs, he could understand.

But he could not comprehend what these Catastrophes required.

Elder Clinton also looked worried, “I did not understand either, but it seems to be something very important, or it said ‘price’ or something…”

Leonard Churchill thought about it and then just nodded his head.

Looking at the current time loop situation, if he couldn’t get out, he would be trapped to death here, so any price was of no matter.

If he could get out, then it is very likely he would have found the Angel’s Remains by that time and this Mysterious Realm would probably cease to exist.

In any case, he would agree to it first.

The Minotaur saw Leonard Churchill nodding and seemed to give him a somewhat strange look.

But he didn’t say anything else, simply threw the chunk of Divine Agility Alloy into the furnace, and then uttered something.

Elder Clinton translated, “It seems to be saying ‘come back for it tomorrow’.”

Tomorrow?

Listening to this, Leonard Churchill raised his eyebrow.

If there was no breakthrough in this loop, there would be no tomorrow.

But he had no worries of leaving the item here, after all, everything could be looped back.

Since forging required time, they left the Blacksmith Shop, not wanting to hang around, and went out.

And at that moment, they found out that in a basement somewhere in Summer Shepherd City, a group crawled out of a dark tunnel.

The one leading was not someone from among the locals, but none other than Young Master Kak from the Lionheart Family, and Vivian White from the White Family.

“It sure is dangerous. If we hadn’t come here, if only the pioneers and hunters had attempted to venture here, I fear it would forever remain an ‘unexplored T- class Mysterious Realm’.”

“It’s too early to say that now. Whether we can make it out alive is uncertain.” “Miss White, we really owe you one this time. If you hadn’t taken action when we encountered the Stygian River Water before, we might have all perished.” “It’s a pity about my family’s century-old Nether Python, but I hope this sacrifice is worth it…by the way, where is the key clue mentioned in your data?” “Summer Shepherd City is a Mysterious Realm guarding the seal, and the clue is said to be in the ‘Thirty-Three Levels of Ghost Tower’ which only those who know the special method can enter. Luckily, I know that method.”

“Mm.”

The group discussed for a while and then crawled out of the basement, walking onto the brightly lit streets.
