After Storm Heart's members paid the exorbitant entrance fee, Ku Luo and the others carefully followed the players who wanted to enter the Starlight Fortress and entered the fortress under Divine Dragon's watchful eyes. m.
"What?! Someone actually wants to spend that kind of money?! "
"Maybe it's because it's not easy to get here, so they want to take a look. But what's so good about a fort? It's just a fort with a denser Mana. You want us to take advantage of it? No way!"
When the surrounding players saw Krow and the others enter the Starlight Fortress, they couldn't help but look at them with disdain.
An entrance fee of 20 silver coins was one of a kind in the entire Western Continent.
Meanwhile, 20 Silver Coins was more than enough to repair all of the weapons and equipment on the player. Some Tier 2 players could only earn so much in an entire day.
Yet, these players were willing to invest an entire day's worth of income just to take a look at the Starlight Fortress or to experience the fortress's dense Mana. Moreover, they were only going to do so for a day.
Shortly after these players finished speaking, they turned and left without hesitation.
For a time, over 90% of the players who had gathered outside the Starlight Fortress left, leaving less than 10,000 players lining up to enter the Starlight Fortress.
"They've already occupied the Starlight Fortress, yet they're still chasing people away. It seems that the Starlight Fortress will be doomed if we don't do anything about it."
"They're using Magic Crystals to pay for everything inside. I can't believe they're dreaming."
"They're fools. Do they think that they can bully players as they wish just because the Starlight Fortress is the only fortress in Star Valley? They don't realize that players aren't spendthrifts. At worst, they won't enter the Starlight Fortress. They'll just level up a little slower."
"This is what they mean by playing a good hand badly."
The various major powers that had come to visit the Starlight Fortress couldn't help but laugh when they saw so few players entering the fortress.
Originally, they had been afraid that the Starlight Fortress would grow stronger, widening the gap between them and the Starlight Fortress. Now, however, they had no such worries.
Although the 20 Silver entrance fee was very high, many expert players could accept it as long as they could level up and obtain resources faster.
However, paying Magic Crystals was akin to asking for the lives of these players.
Magic Crystals were the foundation of the western continent's players. Without Magic Crystals to replenish their Combat Runes, their combat power would decrease significantly. However, Magic Crystals were extremely rare on the western continent. Obtaining even one Magic Crystal was extremely difficult. Otherwise, the western continent's various powers wouldn't have fought so desperately over ore veins that had a chance of producing Magic Crystals.
Although one could also obtain Magic Crystals in Star Valley, it was far more difficult to obtain Magic Crystals than in the outside world.
Star Valley was a forbidden land for Life. It was far more dangerous than the outside world. One could just imagine how dangerous a place one could obtain Magic Crystals was.
If they really developed in the Starlight Fortress, then they'd have to work for the Starlight Fortress. Only a fool would do such a thing.
Following which, the various major powers' upper echelons ordered their subordinate teams to change directions. None of them intended to enter the Starlight Fortress.
Before they arrived at the Starlight Fortress, they had already learned about the situation inside from the spies in Divine Tribe. There was no need for them to enter the fortress to confirm anything.
The only exception was if they were desperate for money and planned to contribute Coins to the Starlight Fortress.
As a large number of players left the Starlight Fortress, Macafre, who stood atop the fortress's walls, grew frustrated.
That was money and resources they were talking about!
Clearly, Shifeng could've easily established the Starlight Fortress in Star Valley if they'd lowered their conditions, yet they insisted on paying in Magic Crystals. This was practically a dead end for most players.
After the various major powers left, Storm Heart's members finally entered the Starlight Fortress.
"So, this is the Starlight Fortress's interior? The Mana density here is really high! "
"It's no wonder why the entrance fee is so high. It does have some capital."
When Storm Heart's members sensed the Starlight Fortress's Mana, they couldn't help but sigh ruefully.
Unlike the various major powers, Storm Heart's members were independent players. Even the top adventurer teams in the neighboring kingdoms had very limited resources. They couldn't compare to first-rate Guilds at all. Not to mention, the Starlight Fortress was filled with Mana. They could only rely on their extraordinary talents and arduous battles to slowly improve themselves.
"However, we can only rest here occasionally. Otherwise, even our Storm Heart adventurer team can't afford to spend here," a man dressed in gray armor said. He carried a greatsword on his back and wore dark-gray leather armor. He was slightly astonished as he scanned the surrounding hotels.
Even in NPC capital cities, the most expensive hotel in the outside world only cost 10 Silver per night.
However, not only were the Starlight Fortress's hotels small, but their prices were also frightening.
One night's rest cost one Magic Crystal!
Storm Heart had 500 members in the Starlight Fortress. If they rested here, they'd have to pay 500 Magic Crystals per night. This was practically daylight robbery.
He even suspected that the Starlight Fort was trying to set up a scam shop to earn as much as it could.
Storm Heart's other members expressed their agreement with Storm Heart's decision.
Even first-rate Guilds couldn't afford to spend so much, much less Storm Heart. Most likely, only superpowers could afford to do so.
"Wait, the Mana here seems a little different," a female Tier 3 Elementalist suddenly said.
"Different?" The cold-looking man sensed it but didn't feel anything. "Is there anything different?"
"No! It is indeed a little different, "Krow said." Or rather, the Mana here has changed. "
"Mhm. I can sense the Three Supreme Elements. Moreover, they're growing denser," the female Elementalist said, nodding.
If she were an ordinary Tier 3 expert, she wouldn't be able to sense the difference, but as someone who possessed a special Mana Legacy, she could sense the subtle changes.
"The Three Supreme Elements?" The cold-looking man with a big sword on his back was stunned for a moment before he asked excitedly in a low voice, "Doesn't that mean that the environment there is getting closer and closer to ancient times?"
As God's Domain's experts, they spent their days trying to learn more about God's Domain's history. This was because many opportunities could be found in the game. This was especially true for adventurer teams like theirs, which didn't have many resources to begin with. This was one of the few methods they had to learn about God's Domain.
Hence, Storm Heart's members had a relatively good understanding of God's Domain.
This was especially true during ancient times, when the Gods had roamed God's Domain. That was also the peak of God's Domain. Back then, humans had been much stronger than they were now, both in terms of individual strength and Mana technology.
Unlike now, where the Type 5 realm was already the limit. In fact, compared to the Type 5 realm of the past, the current Type 5 powerhouses were still lacking by a large margin.
Meanwhile, the biggest difference between the current God's Domain and the ancient God's Domain was the composition of Mana.
Ancient God's Domain's Mana had been composed of the Seven Supreme Elements. Modern God's Domain's Mana, on the other hand, was composed of the Four Supreme Elements. As for the other Three Supreme Elements, they were extremely thin and nearly impossible to sense.
Because of this, God's Domain's creatures' understanding and control of Mana weren't complete. As a result, it was extraordinarily difficult for them to make breakthroughs.
Now, however, the Starlight Fortress was actually gathering the Three Supreme Elements and restoring its ancient Mana environment. This was definitely a heaven-shaking opportunity.
