Chapter 218: The Underworld Dungeon is about to welcome new blood
"Teacher, do you want to fight?" Leon looked at Gapar and asked for his opinion.
The pyroxene dragon Smarag let out a roar that shook the earth, but it hovered in the sky for a long time and was unwilling to come down, as if it also knew how powerful these humans were.
If it were before, Japar would definitely experience the feeling of hunting dragons, because in ancient times, simply defeating a dragon could make one a hero. If one killed a dragon and bathed in its blood, it would be written into legends and become the content of the songs of bards.
Nowadays, due to the existence of flying dragons, the value of "slaying dragons" has slightly decreased. Only four-legged dragons can be considered real dragons, and two-legged dragons are just flying dragons with impure blood.
But having said that, the pyroxene dragon Smarag can also be considered a two-legged flying dragon, but it gives Japar the feeling that it is much stronger than a small flying dragon.
This is very subtle. Does killing Smaragg count as "slaying the dragon"?
Japar didn't say anything, but just waved his hand to indicate that he didn't have the heart to fight now.
Leon nodded, understanding what the other party meant, and he didn't want to fight.
"Please." He handed the stink bomb to Stellan, who once again performed the bow and dragon shooting trick.
She was very serious when shooting the arrows, and she seemed to be gaining experience every second. This race against time made people feel that she was stepping into a tense rhythm.
What made her so eager to practice archery? Nothing major has happened in Bed City recently.
"Ouch?"
The pyroxenon was just getting ready to attack everyone when it suddenly caught a glimpse of Stellan who was about to give it a dirty shot.
This was the first time that humans saw a human expression on a flying dragon's face - a deep sense of disgust.
Smarag flapped his wings and turned away. He didn't want to fight with these little guys who played with shit and piss. What if his scales got dirty?
"ah?"
Before Stellan's arrow was shot, the target suddenly turned around and flew away. This sudden change was faster than a child's expression, which really caught her off guard.
After hesitating for a long time, she put down the longbow, and then burned the arrow stained with the smelly bullet into ashes with the magic stone of ignition.
"Is this dragon so intelligent?" Stellan asked doubtfully.
"It's a dragon after all," Leon smiled. "Since it ran away when it saw the stink bomb, maybe we can use the stink to target it in the future. This can also be considered a strategy."
No, no, if ordinary people imitate your behavior, they will probably die miserably. Do you really think that dragon was disgusted and left? Roger complained silently.
Fortunately, what Leon said just now was just a joke. He also understood that it was the deterrent power of Gapar that made the pyroxene dragon choose to leave under the double oppression of the strong and the disgusting.
He picked up the purple light that suddenly appeared in the dragon's nest. It was indeed the academy's pyroxene key. There were five places, and there were four people in the strategy group, which was just right if Stellan was included.
Now you can open the door to the Rhea Lukalia School of Magic!
At this time, Japar also made a decision and told Tulsi and the others what he was thinking.
He was going to leave through the portal and return to Bed City from the ruins of Val City.
There should still be Count Charon's guards near the ruins of Val City. These guards are performing some cleanup work. It is very likely that he can borrow a mount monster from them, and it won't take him long to get to Bed City.
If Professor Seth came with them, they could save a lot of effort, because the wind magic he studied included a trick called "magic horse", which was much faster than ordinary mounts.
"We can't go back to Lienia of the Lake and go back to Bede. Oh, no." Tulsi realized something was wrong as soon as she finished speaking, because they came to Lienia of the Lake from the magic classroom area through the seal guarded by the Knights of Kalia.
The seal can bring people in, but it cannot let people out, and they have not found the exact location of the seal.
Maybe we can find a way to quickly return to Bed City in the future, but for now no one has discovered it, and the adventurers' exploration of the Val Dungeon is only in the single digits.
"It's a bit tricky. It takes two or three days to go back and forth."
"No, it only takes time to go back to Bed City. If you want to come in, just go through the Thane Dungeon."
After discussing the details, Gapar and his group decided to leave and said goodbye to Leon and the others.
"Goodbye, teacher." Leon waved his hand like a good boy. If he were in school, he would definitely be a good student with both good character and good academic performance.
"It's been a while since I taught you swordsmanship," Japar said before entering the portal completely.
"Come find me when you get back, and I'll take you to fight the Golden Lion."
Golden Lion? I've heard a lot of people talking about this monster recently. The battle experience should be pretty good.
Leon readily agreed, nodding his head like a woodpecker.
Before Gapar and the others completely disappeared into the portal, Roger's voice was heard.
"Hey, when we return to Bed City and announce the information here, won't we become the discoverers of important information? Professor, if we compile and sell the findings here, we will not only gain fame, but also make a lot of money."
"I don't care about that little bit of money." Tulsi's tone was flat.
"It's too troublesome. If you want to deal with it, do it yourself." Japar's voice also showed no interest at all.
"Okay, I'll do it myself."
Listening to Roger's frustrated voice gradually fade away, Leon couldn't help but sympathize with him for a second.
If I were to team up with him, I would probably consider the suggestion just now, but the level of the Sword Master, Professor and others is higher than them, the silver-level adventurers, much higher. Some things that seem very important to them may not be a big deal in the eyes of the big guys.
Suddenly I felt that Roger must be very frustrated in this team. How did he get into such a team of top talents?
By the way, Leon suddenly remembered something.
That is, Roger's idea may not come true. Even if he compiles a report on the intelligence of Lake Lienia and publishes it, it will not cause too much sensation, because.
As mentioned before, two teams had been here before Japar and his team.
In addition to the strategy group, the other team is the new strategy group led by Luluwo.
"Those guys should have spread the news of Lake Lienia in Bed City by now. They are always quick and hasty in doing things. Oh, and they are no longer called the New Strategy Team. They have changed their name."
Leon shook his head, not wanting to think about so much useless things anymore, and said to the remaining companions: "Let's go, we also have our own things to do."
They rested up fully this time just to explore the magic academy.
When they first came in, they were all attacked in an extremely insidious way.
Let’s not talk about Tel who was shot into a sieve by the lobster’s water cannon, Dru who lost consciousness by [Fainting] and [Shadowless], and Malu who was taken away by the Devil in Dark Souls.
Leon was embarrassed to tell the reason for his own failure. At that time, he bought a new shield. It was a shield of very good quality and it had no problem taking the soul-sucking ghost's blows.
However, the shield was shattered in Lake Lienia, and along with it, Leon's life was shattered.
As for the culprit, there are only two words to describe it - slap.
Anyway, after that painful lesson, whenever Leon found traces of ghost-like monsters in this lake area, he would choose to go around them and try not to disturb them.
“Whoosh!”
The arrow blew the head of a Platinum Son not far away with a sound of breaking through the air, and its brains flowed all over the ground. A golden light flashed across its corpse and penetrated into Stelan's body.
This is the special effect of her obtaining the soul of the monster. Obviously, there was no special effect when she obtained the soul in the Sen dungeon before.
And why is it golden? Isn't the soul white?
Even Gong Qiying himself couldn't figure this out. Could it be because Lienia of the Lake came from the Elden Ring? After all, the "soul" in the Ring is the "Rune", and the latter is golden.
However, this small change has not been found to cause any problems so far, so you can ignore it for now.
"Wow, your archery skills are getting better and better." Malu praised. She has always been the emotional value provider in the team.
Stellan smiled lightly, somewhat proudly, but her expression was more anxious.
It's not the kind of anxiety that's at the critical moment of life and death, but a kind of anxiety that's a little lighter but can give people a headache. If I have to describe it specifically, it's like a primary school student who hasn't done his homework for a long time and is about to encounter a surprise inspection by the teacher, so he has to start making up his homework quickly.
It is so anxious that for students it is worse than death.
"Your people will be surprised to see these. Hehe, there should be nothing more interesting than showing off your skills in front of familiar people." Malu began to imagine the scene of herself returning home in glory after becoming a gold-level adventurer and being bathed in the envious eyes of her fellow villagers.
"Perhaps."
Stellan sighed, her long hair hanging down weakly, giving her the look of a melancholy beauty.
The reason why she was so anxious was because someone came from the Elf Forest.
To put it more bluntly, her family members are here!
Including but not limited to her sisters, aunts and uncles, in short, a group of people who make her feel at a loss.
As for the reason why these people came to Bed City, it was Stellan's own doing.
She still remembered that when she entered the first mutation of the Sen dungeon a month or two ago and was tortured to death by the Furnace Knights, Cursed Frogs and other underworld monsters, she was almost tortured to death. With the thought that "I can't be the only one suffering", she wrote an invitation letter and sent it to the Forest of Elves.
The general content of the letter was how disgusting the Sean Dungeon was, how aggrieved he was, and then he listed a long list of old acquaintances in the Elf Forest who had conflicts with him, and praised their strength one by one, and finally wrote down his true thoughts:
"Please come and help me, I am really dying in this hellish dungeon, I beg you brothers and sisters."
"Anyone who doesn't come is a bastard!"
I don’t know whether it was the first sentence or the second sentence that worked, but anyway, Stellan’s family and friends finally arrived.
Moreover, all the people who came here had some minor frictions with her. It cannot be said that they had a bad relationship, but they could not help but say a few insults to each other when they met.
It was obvious that these guys were here just to laugh at her!
"Damn it, there was no response to that letter, and I thought they weren't coming."
When Stellan received the letter saying that everyone was about to arrive and asking her to arrange food and accommodation, her face was quite surprised.
When she wrote the letter a few months ago, she was indeed manipulated by a dark psychology and was thinking that she could cheat as many people as possible, and it would be best if the whole world came here to be cheated.
But after returning to normal, her dark psychology dissipated, and
Being an adventurer is her job, and the Thane Dungeon is her office.
When other elves come here, the feeling is no less than when your relatives suddenly come to visit the company where you work.
How embarrassing it can be!
Even though she hurriedly wrote back to stop them, everyone was already halfway there and refused to go back no matter what.
So, Stellan had no choice but to bear the consequences of her own actions.
She thought about it seriously these days and felt that cheating people was too immoral. Finally, she decided to take the tribesmen into the dungeon and accompany them throughout the whole process after they arrived. She would choose a less dangerous route for them to visit, just as a sightseeing trip, and send them home quickly after they had seen the scenery.
But there was a problem with the choice of route.
Many of my relatives are already old. I can't take them to the Fran Fortress to get some smoked food, right?
If she wanted to be safe, she could go to the food area, but that area was too safe. After everyone experienced it, they might laugh at her - "You were tortured to death here? Were you beaten to death by this yellow-haired rat or garlic turtle?"
No, no, we cannot do anything that would make us lose face!
Subconsciously, Stellan is still as shy as a young girl, and she also wants to save face.
Therefore, it is best to choose a route that is not too difficult, but can also allow relatives to feel a certain degree of hardship so that they can identify with her and her work as adventurers.
After all, Stellan subconsciously still wanted her relatives to suffer, but morality restrained her.
Just when she was worried about this, Leon suddenly came to her and said that they had discovered a new area and needed a ranger to supplement the team during the exploration to perform reconnaissance and guerrilla warfare.
"It's so beautiful, just like the legendary divine world of the Moon God."
This was Stellan's exclamation when she saw Lake Lienia under the moonlight.
She almost immediately decided to invite her relatives to come to Lake Lienia to experience it for herself!
For this, she had to check out the situation with Leon and the others first, so as not to get killed first.
Imagine that your relatives are suffering in the dungeon of the underworld, but you are able to rescue them from danger time and time again and calmly explain how to break each trap.
Wow, my sense of self-identity and vanity are maxed out all of a sudden!
"I must get to know this area thoroughly,"
Stellan clenched her fists and waved them slightly, as if to cheer herself up.
Come on, come on, Stellan, you will definitely be able to save your face!
The battle to save face begins!
Then again, is there such a possibility?
Had her reputation been completely lost when the letter was sent back to the Elf Forest?
She didn't want to think about it, absolutely not.
In short, the Sen Dungeon, or the Val Dungeon, will welcome a new group of spiritual power providers.
Elves are definitely a rare species. The most common adventurers are ordinary humans and dwarves, followed by half-orcs. Pure orcs are rare, and elves are even rarer than them.
It can be said to be a purple card of SR.
"Have the monsters here revived again?"
While Stellan was lost in thought, the team had returned to the foot of the mountain where the Magic Academy was located. The Kalia soldiers and the fire chariots had been resurrected and had formed an unbreakable line of defense again.
"Everyone get ready, it's time for us to fight." Leon drew out his straight sword, the Kalia straight sword he had obtained before, which was very appropriate for the occasion.
"We can't fall behind Mr. Gapal!"
“Go ahead!”
Along with some rather energetic shouting, the sounds of a heated fight could be heard at the foot of the mountain.
And outside the Vaal Dungeon.
Japar and his party successfully found the guards sent by Bed City to clean up the mess, borrowed a few fast horses from him, and after a short rest, they rushed to Bed City without stopping.
"Hehe, this time it's my turn to be the 'strategist'."
Lying on the bumpy horse's back, Roger wrote furiously, writing down everything he saw and heard in Lake Lienia and the magic classroom, from the general direction of the map to the number of leg hairs on the pyroxene magician's legs, regardless of whether it was useful or not, everything was written clearly.
Anyway, just pile up words on it. The more words you pile on it, the more real his information will appear, right?
It’s a pity that his female dragon Hathaway was lying and sleeping at home, otherwise he could ride the dragon back.
But at the same time, the news had already spread throughout Bed City.
People on the streets are discussing the Magic Classroom and Lake Lienia!
Today's update is 4,800, I have to continue working overtime.
I wish all my readers never have to work overtime in their lives, uh
