Old Meredith had to admit that the Players were far superior to him in ability even when he could barely stop them from entering the Faint Crystal Stratum. No matter how reluctant he was to face reality, Old Meredith had to admit that the Players' ability far surpassed his own, and perhaps even the city watch of Crookes — even if the city watch of Crookes had mostly been routed.
"I see, so that's how it is …" Old Meredith finally turned to Eleena. "No wonder you didn't want to inherit my title and become the mayor of Crookes, and instead insisted on adventuring with your friend … I understand now."
Eleena stared blankly at the old man who was boasting to himself.
"Your abilities definitely far surpass normal humans, and you might have reached the threshold of Extraordinary individuals … it's only natural that you would yearn for the light compared to an old, decaying city like this. That is why you would want to continue adventuring with your friends and enjoy the taste of freedom."
The old man laughed self-deprecatingly. "That's right. Times have changed, and an old man like me is nothing more than an outcast from the last era! The future is yours! "
At that thought, Old Meredith finally let go of his meaningless thoughts and calmly watched everything unfold.
"But I've reached my goal in entering the Faint Crystal Stratum and won't go any further." The girl shook her head. "I'll leave the rest to the others."
It was true that she had followed the clearers into the Faint Crystal Stratum as if she was joking with her life, but the truth was that she wanted to find her cheap grandpa as soon as possible.
And now, not only had she found him, the other Players who came with her had more or less gained something, and it was not a wasted trip.
After that, she would have to carry out her role as a tool to send batch after batch of Players into the Elven SIN.
After all, the key to the Gateway was in her hands.
Old Meredith:???
Although the old man felt that something was off, he did not pursue the matter.
In fact, he believed that it was good that his granddaughter did not have to risk her life.
Moreover, the Players with supernatural abilities were certainly suitable to explore the other stratums of the elven ruins.
Edward took the lead and rode the Hei Yan Dragon into the tunnel. After exploring it for a while, he flew up directly.
"Let's make a simple conclusion — there are monsters in the Deep Wall Stratum, but not many." "There are many small holes on the wall. Some can fit five to six people at the same time, and some can only fit half a shoe. If we can't fly, we should be able to use those small holes as climbing points and leverage to slowly climb down." Edward tried his best to summarize what he was thinking.
To put it simply, those who couldn't fly could only climb down.
As long as the players paid attention to their stamina bars, they wouldn't feel tired. Moreover, with the large hole as a resting place, they didn't have to worry about running out of stamina.
However, this would definitely lengthen the time needed to clear the dungeon.
After a brief farewell to Eleena, the others entered the Deep Wall Stratum tunnel one after another.
After all, even if one of them was at the edge of the world and the other was at the edge of the sea, as long as they could access the forums, communication would be a piece of cake.
They could even play a game of Tierra Cube together …
On the other hand, Eleena stared blankly as they disappeared into the tunnel. It was a long time before she turned to return the way they came.
"You're actually looking forward to going on an adventure with your friends, aren't you?" The old man said softly, stroking her head. "Why don't you come?"
"Because I have my duty." Eleena replied seriously.
When it comes to faith in the God of Games, even if she couldn't compare to Edward, she would definitely be in the top five in terms of faith.
Moreover, Xi Wei had performed miracles time and time again when she was in dire straits. She had long since devoted herself to him wholeheartedly, which was why she would value the 'oracle' from the Divine Kingdom immensely, and would never waver in believing and carrying it out.
Take this event for example. Since the God of Games had stated in the event content that her main duty was to bring other Players into the Elven SIN, she wouldn't be doing anything else.
At first, Eleena didn't care much about her status as a Saintess (though she was just a substitute). She didn't think much of being a Saintess at first.
Until recently, when she led the Players to face death calmly against the tortoise colossus, the Players' unconditional trust and reverence for her left Eleena a little bewildered, and at the same time, she began to value her status.
Even as she enjoyed the glory and power of the Saintess-in-training class, Eleena finally realized that she had to shoulder the corresponding responsibility.

The fact that the first-rate Players had cleared the first stratum of the Elven SIN in less than thirty minutes had left every Player immeasurably excited.
After all, the event only lasted for seven days. If they couldn't clear the entire dungeon in seven days, the rune rewards and whatnot might be greatly reduced …
And now, the clearers were proving that the Elven SIN dungeon wasn't that difficult.
After Eleena came out, many Players were forming parties for her to enter the dungeon.
Most of them were naturally following Edward's footsteps, heading to the Dark Sky Stratum through the Deep Wall Stratum tunnel. However, there were also some Players who chose to stay in the first stratum for the time being, exploring places that Edward and the others had yet to explore.
After all, the Faint Crystal Stratum was quite vast. For example, if the Faint Crystal Stratum was shrouded in the fog of war, Edward and the others had only explored less than ten percent of the stratum after finding the entrance to the next stratum. In other words, ninety percent of the stratum was still unexplored.
There might be some good stuff hidden in the fog of war — that was basically what the Players thought, and it was certainly the case. Many of them had found unusual relics in the first stratum, and traded them for many good items from the wood elf elders.
It was only in the evening that a post suddenly appeared on the Player forums.
It wasn't long, and the content was very brief. To put it simply, it was' We have passed through the Deep Wall Stratum and reached the Dark Sky Stratum '.
