Chapter 134 131. The Master and the Maid

[Race: Red Reef Fruit Tree]

[Skills: Deliciousness LV2, Paralysis Toxin LV2, Photosynthesis LV1]

Lin Jun thought about it and knocked a fruit down with his tentacles.

"Dylan, try it."

The fruit with a spiral red shell was rolled in front of Dylan.

"As expected of you, Boss, you found food so quickly!"

Dylan took the bowling ball-sized fruit, and Lin Jun had already cut it for him.

Looking at the gelatinous flesh inside, Dylan took a small sip.

"Hmm? Delicious!"

Dylan ate directly from the mouth, and at the end he even tried to use his hands to scoop out the flesh stuck on the inner wall of the shell, with no intention of leaving any.

But before he could pull it out twice, he suddenly lost control of his body and fell to the ground.

Scout Puji helped him turn over so that he wouldn't suffocate on his face.

It looked like [Delicious LV2] was indeed delicious, but it was a pity that Lin Jun couldn't taste it.

No worldly desires.jpg

The reason why Lin Jun cares about this skill is mainly because he has seen it in the upgrade talent.

Taking it should be equivalent to excluding it from the next skill selection, giving you more chances to draw practical skills.

However, if you want to obtain this skill, you have to bring this fruit back to the dungeon.

It is obvious that it will take a long time before a passing ship appears on this deserted island.

After thinking about it, Lin Jun controlled the scout Puji to scatter some spores everywhere.

It's not expansion. The newly formed fungal mat here will not be under the control of Lin Jun's fungal network.

Lin Jun spread the spores here just to get more mycelium to be useful...

——

Oath City, the headquarters of the Adventurer's Guild.

This four-story building, which covers a total area of ​​more than 30,000 square meters, not only has the usual guild hall for accepting various tasks, but also has many functional areas that other branches do not have.

The warrior training ground on the east wing, the magic shooting range on the north side, the adventurer trading area on the second floor, the forging area with high temperatures all day long and the alchemy area with steam of different colors in the basement...

Combined with the huge stone wall surrounding the guild, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a city within a city with various functions.

In fact, it is.

If you delve deeper into its history, you will find that the land occupied by the Adventurer's Guild is the original Oath City.

The people who were forced to migrate south under the attack of the demons opened up the first piece of land here.

The huge stone wall on the outside, which is stronger than the current wall of Oath City, was the result of the tenth-level wizard personally cutting stones and reinforcing them.

Countless magic power transmission troughs extend from the foundation of the wall. This is a defensive formation that matches the stone wall. It is still operational, but people usually don't waste money to activate it.

Everyone knows that the Adventurer's Guild Headquarters is the most solid building in Oath City besides the Council Hall.

However, few people know that there is actually a living area in the guild headquarters, located on the smallest fourth floor.

A few important members of the guild will live there, and the fourth floor is also fully functional as a living area.

The dull sound of the knife blade hitting the fruit shell spread throughout the kitchen.

The shell of the red reef fruit cracked in a cross pattern. The maid used her knuckles to press against the edge of the crack and pried it open, and the translucent gelatinous flesh poured into the silver plate.

Sprinkle with crushed orchid leaves and mix in a little mellow elf ice wine, and this dish full of exotic flavors is ready.

But there is one last step.

Magic power gathered in the maid's hands, and the light of purification sprinkled on the silver plate, clearing away all the paralyzing toxins in the red reef fruit.

Prepare a small bowl of clam soup and place them on the tray.

A few minutes later, the maid knocked on the door of a room on the fourth floor.

"Master Farr, it's time for breakfast."

The white-haired young man who was lying on the balcony sunbathing raised his head when he heard this.

"Lillian, just put breakfast on the table."

The maid Lillian put down the plate but did not leave. She just stood there staring at the white-haired young man.

"Why are you guarding me?"

"The young master will definitely skip breakfast once I leave, and there are documents to be handed over to the young master."

Only then did Farr notice that Lillian was holding a stack of things in her arms.

“What a hassle…”

Although he complained, Farr still sat down at the table, ate half of the fruit pulp on the silver plate one spoonful at a time, and drank a small sip of the thick soup, just to get through this breakfast.

Even the food with the attribute of [delicious] doesn't seem to be anything special in Fal.

When Farr pushed the plate away, Lillian spread out the documents in her hand one by one in front of him.

"Most of them are the information that the president prepared for you, the young master, to take over the branch. They include information about the people in Yafeng Town, the forces in the surrounding areas, and precautions related to the Amethyst Dungeon."

The president that Lillian mentioned was naturally the current president of the Adventurer's Guild, and also Fal's father.

However, Farr was not very appreciative. He frowned and flipped through the information casually, saying dissatisfiedly: "Minding my business, does he think I can't even collect this level of information?"

"The master is also..." Lillian seemed to want to defend the president, but was suddenly interrupted.

Fal held a silver-edged document in his hand and asked in confusion, "Why are there documents sent from the church? Are they planning to hold a heresy trial in the dungeon?"

"Master, you shouldn't use this tone to ridicule the Church of Light. It will cause trouble if it gets out," Lillian warned.

Farze glanced at her and said, "Who else is here besides you? Or do you think I'm an idiot and would say the same thing outside?"

Lillian raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said nothing more.

After a while, Fal, who had just finished flipping through the documents, suddenly exclaimed, "We really need to hold a heresy trial in the dungeon!"

"Aren't dungeons full of monsters?"

"It's a monster," Fal explained, his voice much louder than before, and he seemed very interested in this matter. "A talented captain of the Wings of Judgment submitted a report saying that the dungeon may have been occupied by a collective consciousness."

"Occupy the dungeon? How is that possible?" Although Lillian was not a member of the guild, she had a better understanding of the dungeon than most people. "Won't we be assimilated and restrained if we stay in the dungeon? Even if we have a collective consciousness, we can only control one class at most, right?"

"Generally speaking, yes. But if someone uses the dungeon core, that's not certain. The possibility mentioned in this report does match the information sent by the guild."

"Controlling the core of a dungeon... is there really anyone who can do something like that?"

Not to mention the difficulty of getting to the core location, even if you find it, the core is not a switch button that changes the dungeon according to your ideas. It is the entire operating logic of the dungeon.

Analogous to the defense core of the Oath City, daily maintenance requires more than forty professionals, and full-scale activation requires as many as three hundred people to operate simultaneously.

The value of the dungeon core is much higher than that of the City of Covenant, and its origin remains a mystery.

Both human and demon high-ranking officials know that there is a so-called core in the dungeon, but they turn a blind eye to it. Could it be that they don't want to control the dungeon?

I just can't control it.

To take a step back, even if there is new technology that can control it, it should not be something that can be done by one or a few people.

As for the large number of personnel and supplies entering the Amethyst Underground City right under the nose of Yafeng Town?

No matter how derelict the people over there are, it shouldn't get to this point.

So Lillian couldn't believe the young master's speculation.

"Lillian, you misunderstood. I said 'utilize' instead of 'control'. The dungeon is not perfect and it has loopholes."

"Existed?" This time, Lillian accurately grasped the key point of Farr's words.

“Yes, it existed. For example, more than a hundred years ago, someone discovered that the way to refresh a treasure chest was to exchange two treasure chests through teleportation.

So someone stuffed himself into an opened treasure chest, and after refreshing, he came to a space he called the treasure house.

After he successfully obtained a large number of top-level equipment and props from inside, he used the same method to teleport out.

Some of these devices have even survived to this day.”

"What happens next?" Lillian knew things wouldn't be that simple.

Farr didn't keep people on suspense and simply told the follow-up:

"What happened next was that he never came back after his second attempt. Not only him, but all the speculators who imitated him also disappeared into the dungeon. Apparently, the dungeon doesn't like thieves either."

"Then if this is also a loophole, why hasn't the dungeon been patched?"

“That’s why I guessed it might be related to the core. Monsters are divided into different layers, which is the most basic rule of the Amethyst Dungeon. The breaking of this basic rule means that there is a problem with the core logic.

Of course, these are just guesses in the final analysis. It is possible that the church's intelligence is wrong, or that this situation is caused by some other coincidence.

But no matter what, it shouldn’t be boring this time! "
