Landlord World - Start with SSS talent-Chapter 230: Challenge Space

When Violette heard Zeka mention Maisy, a look of discomfort appeared in her eyes, but it quickly vanished.

She sighed and said, "Well... I don't know. You should ask her yourself."

Although she said that, deep down, she was truly irritated.

On the outside, she was part of the management team led by Maisy, but in reality, she was very envious of her.

Violette was always aiming for power and the support of others. Maisy could easily accomplish what she worked so hard to achieve with just a few words.

This made her more and more jealous of Maisy. However, the allure of the mysterious 'Challenge Space' was so great, and her strength was insufficient to guarantee that she could gain many benefits from it.

Violette gritted her teeth, truly not wanting to share this secret with Maisy.

She thought momentarily and continued, "However, Maisy might not trust you."

"Huh?!" Zeka was a bit startled. "Why?"

"You know what Maisy is like. She's the captain of the management team. She'll take it from you if she finds out you have the key."

"You're just an ordinary lord, do you think you can resist or have the right to keep it? Of course not. Maisy will definitely use that key to gain more benefits for herself and secure her position."

Zeka felt a bit strange after hearing this, but then he realized that Violette's words made a lot of sense.

After all, everyone has greed. If it got out that he was holding the key, Maisy or the other management team members would likely snatch it from him.

Zeka took a deep breath, admiring Violette: "Thank you, because of you, I won't act recklessly."

"However... just the two of us, how can we explore the 'Challenge Space'?"

Violette pouted, then said, "Zeka, we can still explore it. After all, it's a 'Challenge Space,' the challenge inside might not be combat."

"That's why we should give it a try."

Zeka furrowed his brows, then nodded lightly and said, "Good! I think so too. Not every challenge requires combat."

"Violette, let's set off tomorrow, okay?"

Violette shook her head: "Too slow, right now."

"Huh?! But... I... I'm not ready yet," Zeka stammered.

"What can you prepare?" Violette pouted.

Zeka immediately fell silent, unable to say anything because she was right.

What did he have to prepare? No soldiers, his heroes were dead, and all that was left was a level 2 Pixie that always followed him around.

Zeka sighed and said, "Fine! Let's set off."

…

At the 'Strange Point,'

Noan woke up from a nap, feeling much more refreshed. novelbuddy.cσ๓

Suddenly, he felt a slight ache in his arm, and there were marks on his upper arm, as if someone had rested their head there.

"Vylyss?" Noan mumbled, assuming that it was a mark left by Vylyss.

After all, he didn't think Isabell could have done that to him.

Noan thought for a moment and decided not to summon any soldiers here because the place that needed soldiers the most was the 'Chaos Zone.'

Here, it was enough to have Vylyss and himself.

He was about to get out of bed, but then saw Vylyss looking at him from outside, through the crack in the door.

"Hm?! Vylyss, what are you doing?" Noan asked, confused.

Vylyss glanced around, immediately rushed into the room, and hugged him tightly. "Huhuhu... Master, that woman is so unreasonable."

"Heh?!" Noan was baffled and quickly asked, "Calm down a bit, what happened?"

Vylyss pouted and started to recount everything.

Noan rubbed his forehead, as what she said was hard to believe.

Indeed, Isabell was the one who had rested her head on his arm and slept. But... the issue was why didn't he realize this?

He had enhanced his senses many times over.

He could sense its direction and speed even if a fly were ten meters away.

But someone had been lying on his arm for a long time, and he hadn't noticed.

He didn't think Vylyss was lying; he just believed that Isabell must have used some magic to block his senses.

Noan sighed. It seemed Isabell was far more formidable than he had initially thought.

With this action, she had proven that she could kill him at any moment if she wanted to.

"Master, you don't know how unreasonable she is," Vylyss pouted. "Earlier, when I tried to enter her room, she used poison to paralyze me, so I could only watch her lying with you, unable to do anything."

Noan sighed again, rubbing her head to comfort Vylyss.

But at the same time, Noan also felt very strange. If Isabell was that strong, why didn't she enter the 'Challenge Space' to save her subordinates herself, and instead had to ask for his help?

Could it be... a trap?

No! The reality proved that if Isabell wanted to kill him, she could have done so long ago, without using such bothersome methods.

There could only be one reason: she couldn't enter that 'Challenge Space.'

Noan had also read some documents that stated that certain 'Challenge Spaces' or dungeons had level limits.

Therefore, he thought that Isabell's level was too high, and that's why she couldn't enter the 'Challenge Space.'

Noan lightly patted Vylyss's back, then told her to get ready, as he and she would head to the entrance of the 'Challenge Space.'

Vylyss pouted and said, "Master, you'll have to make it up to me, huhuhu..."

Noan: "..."

He laughed and said, "Alright! Please begin your performance."

"Hehehe..." Vylyss laughed greedily, her hand slowly moving toward that area.

"Don't mess up my bed." Suddenly, a voice rang out from the door, startling Vylyss and Noan.

Indeed, Vylyss was startled because she hadn't sensed the presence of that woman.

Isabell stood at the door, arms crossed in front of her chest, leaning against the wall, and smiling, "That bed is only for me and him to lie on, you... Get out!"

"You..." Vylyss gritted her teeth, but when she saw purple smoke swirling around Isabell's body, Vylyss could only bite her lip and slowly back off the bed.

Noan saw this scene and could only sigh and shake his head.

He wasn't a match for Isabell, so he could only let Vylyss endure the humiliation for a while.

"Are you leaving now?" Isabell suddenly asked.

Noan nodded and said, "Yes, my time in this world is limited, I can't waste time."

Isabell didn't ask further questions and left right after.

Noan shook his head. He placed an 'Anchor Point' on the bed; this was the third anchor point.

On the way to the 'Challenge Space,' if he encountered any danger, Noan could easily escape.

Noan got out of bed, then flew with Vylyss to their destination.

He couldn't use his teleportation ability because he had never seen the destination, so he had to travel by flying. Vylyss, now a rank B Hero, could easily carry him across the 70-mile distance without issue.

As Noan flew through the sky, he saw a ruined city below, overtaken by plants, and countless questions filled his mind.

However, he didn't dwell on them too much, as many mysteries in this world still had no answers.

To understand all those mysteries, he needed immense power, enough to face all the dangers in this world.

Vylyss carried Noan for quite a while, until they arrived at a rather peculiar area.

It looked like a vast forest, but in the center was a hole over a hundred meters in diameter and more than ten meters deep.

The hole seemed to have existed for a long time, as plants had invaded it.

In the center of the hole, a large stone lay still, like a dome, with a flat-cut surface and a circular stone door in the middle.

"Master, that seems to be the entrance to the 'Challenge Space,'" Vylyss pointed at the stone and said.

Noan nodded, and with Vylyss, they approached the stone.

Noticing a keyhole in the center of the stone door, Noan frowned and took out the key from his 'Storage Space,' inserting it into the lock.

Crack!

A sound, as if something had broken, echoed, and immediately after, a voice sounded in his head.

[Ding! The 'Challenge Space' has been activated. Please ensure your level is five or lower.

When entering this space, you cannot bring any soldiers or heroes.]
