My Magical Card Tavern

The Lochta Blade is Luke's equipment, a genuine legendary orc weapon, and it is enormous in size.

Compared to using your own small hammer to take down enemies one by one, a large battle blade like this is definitely more convincing when it comes to easily defeating weaker opponents.

Ginnell slung his battle blade over his shoulder, frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally hurried toward the safe zone.

The plan has changed. There's no time to sort through the scattered skeleton monster materials on the ground, and it seems that gathering the special products of the Dark Forest will have to be postponed.

The most urgent task is to go to the safe zone and see what changes have occurred.

Intuition told Ginnell that there shouldn't be any negative impact, otherwise there would definitely be a large number of adventurers cleaning up the Dark Forest by now.

It's just a bunch of skeleton monsters moving in groups; a skilled adventurer team can easily take them down by forming a defensive formation.

If the situation becomes serious, and things from the depths of the Dark Forest come out and even try to break out, Silver Star City will also take action.

The safe zone in the dark forest is an open space, like a designated area in a park for children to play and frolic.

Unlike the gloomy and damp dark forest, the safe zone is quite dry. If a warrior wearing armor were to enter, he might even feel a bit stuffy.

Ginnell jumped onto a large tree and carefully observed the area, comparing the size of the safe zone with his memory of its size.

It didn't get smaller; on the contrary, it got bigger.

If it's even larger, it might not be at the level of a children's playground, but rather a place where small to medium-sized pets can run and jump freely.

Isn't this a good change?

With the safe zone expanding, it can also be understood that the range of monsters in the Dark Forest is shrinking, making it understandable that some large-scale riots might occur.

But as soon as Ginell stepped into the safe zone, he immediately sensed something was different.

In the past, adventurers had to do one thing after entering the safe zone.

The power of dryness will condense the dampness on the adventurers' bodies into small spherical sludge, which they need to throw out of the safe zone or shovel away the soil that has been covered in sludge.

If this is not done, adventurers will be disliked by the safe zone and will eventually be unable to enter it. Their attempts to enter will be like hitting a barrier spell, unable to take a single step inside.

This time, as soon as Gianna walked in, she immediately felt a hot wind blowing towards her, and the dampness she carried from climbing trees and through the forest dissipated instantly.

This was a change from manual dehumidification to automatic dehumidification, and Ginnell could even feel his blood boiling slightly, with a feeling of being eager to go out and make a big splash.

Seeing the inscrutable expression on Silver Star's face, Genele's expression turned somewhat strange.

He seemed to have guessed something, but he couldn't be completely sure.

"An old man?"

"Luke... came to live with you?"

My blood is boiling, and I'm eager to make a big splash.

In a sense, this is equivalent to the orcs' instinct; the honor of warriors will lead them from one battle to another.

"This isn't sharing an apartment; this is a shameful act of forcibly occupying a place!"

"Before this happened, I had no idea that using Luke's card in your tavern would cause this!"

"Furthermore, because the guests used Luke's cards so many times last night, the impact on the safe zone quickly created another set of rules!"

Yin Xing's tone was somewhat irritable, but she still tried her best to explain a few things.

To put it simply, if the rules within the safe zone were a kind of magic, then the mages in the tavern's fondness for warrior decks would make the construction and casting of magic seem to be accelerated.

The mage entered a super-effective meditation, and the flow of magic in his staff was enhanced. There was even someone casting auxiliary spells nearby.

The final result is magic with a casting speed far exceeding that of ordinary spells.

Genele suddenly realized.

No wonder Silver Star keeps saying that he is a dead star with no great power, and he can't let Genelle run rampant in the outside world.

As a result, he could turn around and drag Luke from the central and western grasslands of the Pangu Continent to the Northern Union, and then pull out his staff to give Luke a couple of whacks on the head.

Although Luke was unaware of the establishment of the safe zone rules, it did create a faint connection.

As a local, it wouldn't be too difficult for Silver Star to seize this weak connection and summon Luke directly.

Genele gestured.

"Putting aside your ulterior motives, the safe zone has essentially expanded, right? Your right wrist should be dry soon, isn't that a good thing?"

"I've already been lenient by not making you stand up in the tavern and offer Luke a toast by yourself, why are you still throwing a tantrum here?"

"Why is it that people become more like children as they get older? Could it be that the stars are like that too?"

Yin Xing was silent for a moment, then spoke in a low voice.

"Take a close look and feel it. Besides that burning desire to fight, what else can you feel?"

"That's the second rule added to the safe zone."

The magic within Ginell became active, and the invigoration instantly helped him acquire the second rule of the safe zone.

To remain active within the safe zone for an extended period, you need to slay monsters and prove your worth.

In layman's terms, the safe zone is actually a rest and transit station where adventurers can heal and rest, regroup, and then continue their adventure or leave the dungeon.

The second rule is like the combat and raid missions that pop up after a player completes all the daily tasks and levels up.

You can get more rewards as long as you complete the combat and conquest missions.

In the past, adventurers could only take a short rest in the safe zone. Once they met the conditions for slaying the monster, they might be able to sleep in the safe zone and continue exploring the dungeon the next day refreshed.

For adventurers, this is undoubtedly a very attractive temptation.

Moreover, there is a huge implied meaning behind this rule.

Ginnell tried to sense it, and regardless of the power system, he could clearly feel something like a progress bar.

That is the combat and extermination mission established by the second rule of the safe zone.

Once the progress bar is full, you can stay in the safe zone for a longer period of time. As for the exact amount of time, it's hard to say, as Ginell hasn't tried it yet.

Perpetual motion machine?

No, that's not the meaning it implies.

Instead, it motivates adventurers to fight to sustain their own battles, turning the safe zone into a fortress for attack!

"This rule is quite suitable for orcs, and even more so for Luke's life experiences back then," Genelec asked.

"Back then, the legendary orc Luke slew countless monsters in this way, establishing a huge tribal kingdom on the grasslands."

"So why are you angry, old man?"
