Chapter 303 I just want to say that we are big fans of Sean
"Are you giving me charity?"
When Elsa read these words from Eliphis' lips, she was stunned.
She saw that Eliphis's face was more indifferent than ever before, and his beautiful sea-blue eyes, which used to be so beautiful, were now flashing with negative emotions, as if he would draw his sword and duel with her in the next second.
The white eagle spread its wings, but beneath its white feathers were swords.
But why? She clearly brought back the method to conquer Overlord Wolnir, so she should be credited with the achievement.
Elsa blinked in confusion, hoping that she was seeing things.
But in the blink of an eye, Eliphis returned to his former peace.
As always, he was generous in his praise of anyone who had made a contribution.
"Well done, Gus." He patted Elsa's shoulder with a smile that seemed to come from the heart. "You are worthy of being my trusted family member."
Feeling the affinity emanating from the leader in front of her, Elsa was unable to react for a moment. Was she seeing things just now?
At this moment, Eliphis suddenly pressed his palm on her shoulder with force, and asked in a tone that did not allow for concealment:
"What did you gain after defeating Vonir?"
A barely perceptible red light flashed in his eyes. When the light flashed, the movements of everyone in the room were delayed for a moment.
Elsa's movements also paused, and she seemed to be the same as everyone else.
But in fact she was just thinking, so her body movements slowed down. Since this reaction was similar to that of other people, she was not noticed to be abnormal.
“We got it”
She told them everything they could get after defeating Vonir, and the captains around them began to whisper again.
"Is it possible that I can obtain that holy sword? This dungeon is really too generous!"
"I'm very interested in black snakes. Don't you think black flames are cool?"
"Gus is really our hero this time. Let's celebrate tonight?"
Elsa smiled at the compliments people gave her, but she noticed Eliphis again, whose expression was now complicated.
Confused, puzzled, doubtful, worried. God knows why there are so many emotions on his face.
He suddenly realized something, and held Elsa's hand even tighter, asking, "Will the reward for defeating Warnir for the first time be different from yours?"
Elsa nodded. She remembered that Luluwo lamented that she couldn't get the first pass of the teardrop larva this time.
"call"
For some reason, Eliphis breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to the captains who were excitedly discussing the rewards: "Go and find out who won the first reward for Wolnir. We need information on this."
People thought the order was a little strange, but since the leader wanted to know, they would do it.
"Well done, Gus. I don't know what words to use to praise you." Eliphis praised Elsa like a patriarch, just like he did in the past. These words of praise made the captains who were listening show envious expressions.
But Elsa couldn't help but have strange thoughts in her mind.
In the past, she would feel happy when she received Eliphis' praise, but why did she feel nothing now?
Do you even find the team leader’s long-winded speeches a bit annoying?
Is there something wrong with me?
Because of the good news she brought, the focus of Eliphis' discussion with the captains shifted to how to destroy Vonir's bracelet, and they finally decided to follow Luluwo's successful experience.
The meeting lasted until the afternoon. When it was over, a palace guard in bright and beautiful clothes ran over and handed Eliphis an exquisite invitation letter.
"Lord Eliphis, Minister Oro will host a dinner party tonight and the princess will be there. The minister sent me to bring you the invitation."
"Yes." Eliphis accepted the invitation without any further comment. After the guards left, the logistics team captain Aston came over and asked:
"Captain, are you going to the palace tonight to attend the celebration of Nags's victory?"
"Heh," Eliphis chuckled, "I won't let something like this delay my celebration for my family."
Aston smiled and said, "Then I'll go get ready!"
After he left, Eliphis looked at the busy camp, with a smile on his face, but it soon fell back down.
His dream is very outrageous to say the least: he wants to have his own country.
To do this, an armed force firmly in his hands is essential, and the Light Eagle Regiment is the foundation for him to realize his dream.
Gus is someone he values very much, not only because of her great strength, but also because she obeys orders perfectly, which is the kind of subordinate every general wants most.
So just now he forced himself not to say "Are you giving me alms?", and could not show his inappropriateness in front of the captains. Even though his unique talent is very strong, he also needs to gather people's hearts on a daily basis.
The reason why he had such a dream was because of a dream.
He dreamed that one day, a trial from ancient times would appear near the royal city of Roald, and when he passed the trial, his own kingdom, the "Eagle Kingdom", would rise from the ground.
Now that the dungeon has appeared as a trial, what about the Eagle Kingdom? That's why he is so eager to defeat Overlord Wolnir.
He was really panicked when he heard Elsa say that someone had cleared Vornir for the first time, but Irithyll of the Frost Valley who appeared after defeating Vornir calmed him down.
This shows that the Casas Underground Cemetery is not the entire underground city. That’s right, a priceless treasure like the Eagle Kingdom cannot be obtained easily!
Perhaps, he will be able to truly obtain the country only when he clears Irithyll!
But then again.
With his current reputation and status in the kingdom, as long as he can marry Princess Selene, the future successor to the queen, it would be equivalent to him gaining his own country.
So, ever since he was brutally beaten by Sion that day, he has been thinking about whether it is necessary for him to fight to the death with the dungeon.
If you want him to devote his whole heart to conquering the dungeon, it would be impossible unless he loses power in the kingdom overnight.
“Whichever path I choose, my dream will come true.”
He stretched his hands toward the sky and clenched his fists towards the starry sky.
The starry sky flashed an enchanting purple light, as if responding to him, but he did not notice.
————————————
That night, a luxurious banquet was held in the palace in the name of Princess Celina and hosted by Minister Oro.
Celebrities from high society and the most powerful people in the entire kingdom gathered here.
In other words, if you cast an explosive magic here, there will be absolutely no accidental killing, and your merits may even increase.
After this grand banquet, one young man was a little panicked.
Count Charon from Bede City is now in a panic.
He didn't understand why he, a count from a small border town, was invited to participate in such an occasion. He seemed to be the most unpopular one here.
It seemed that thanks to the Sen Dungeon, a great nobleman reached a cooperation with him and brought him to the banquet to see the world.
But the great noble was not with him now, so he let him out to explore freely!
Charon took a sip of champagne to calm himself, and felt like sighing when he thought about his recent financial situation.
The noble had previously reached a cooperation with the Skyrim Strategy Group and contacted him again. The other party said that he had taken a fancy to the sales prospects of the Sen Dungeon series of products and planned to promote it throughout the kingdom.
With the help of the great nobles, Charon immediately decided to cooperate, but reality slapped him in the face.
The people in the royal city are interested in the products of the dungeon, but not in the dungeon peripherals made by the Bed family.
The reality confused him, because the reason why the people in the royal city didn't like the surroundings of the dungeon was that they thought these things were made by country people, so they lacked style.
What kind of bullshit excuse is this? I produce the goods and you guys are just responsible for buying them. Why are you still being picky?
No matter how angry you are, you still have to calm down and think about how to increase sales.
As Charon scanned the guests at the banquet, he thought: If a heavyweight figure could be the first to like Bede's products, perhaps people would follow suit and buy them, right? The people of Wangcheng love to follow suit.
At this moment, the movement not far away attracted his attention. Turning around, he saw a group of noble daughters gathered together like birds.
They gathered together and looked up at the protagonist of the banquet, Princess Selene, who was sitting quietly on the podium.
This princess is a hot favorite today and is basically destined to be the next queen. Minister Oro and Eliphis both support her.
"If I can build a good relationship with her..." Charon calmly took a few steps forward, wanting to listen to what the girls were saying.
Princess Selene sat on a chair, staring at the amber wine in a trance. No one knew what she was thinking about, but her expression looked a little melancholy.
She sat in a dignified and elegant posture, and every move she made was in accordance with etiquette, as noble as a flower on a high mountain.
So the girls next to them said:
"Look at the princess's sad expression. It must be because Master Eliphis is not here, right?"
"They are a perfect match. You can't find a better couple in the world."
"Bah, don't talk nonsense, Lord Eliphis never said he wanted to marry the princess! They are still innocent!"
"I think you are jealous~"
Selene couldn't listen any longer, so she turned off the hearing amplification magic. Then she couldn't help but sigh, and her delicate face became even more melancholy. She thought to herself:
These gossips are talking about me again. I would never have a good relationship with a pretty boy like Eliphis unless I had no choice!
She smiled reservedly on the surface and raised her glass to the rich girls, but she was cursing in her heart so much that she even spoke in the dialect of the remote area.
God, you must be mistaken. I should be the best-selling author Xingchen Xiaolinai who stays at home happily writing novels for the Sen Dungeon, not Princess Celina who stays in this suffocating banquet to socialize!
I was eating hotpot and singing at home, thinking about what to write for my next book. Who knows why Eliphis suddenly came to my door and said, "Blood test magic found out that you are the wandering heir of the current king," and then he tied me back!
My deceased mother never told me that my missing father was actually a king!
Selene felt more and more sad. She didn't want to be a princess at all, but Eliphis ordered her to be a princess with red eyes and in a commanding tone.
She realized immediately that this guy was using some kind of mind control ability on her, and the people around her had no reaction to Eliphis's behavior at all.
If I hadn't been gifted with immunity to mind control, I would have been tricked long ago.
Selene had no choice but to pretend to be controlled and obediently came to the royal city, living the life of a princess that everyone envied. She was a writer and a former drama actor, and she was very familiar with aristocratic etiquette.
She lived in fear every day in the palace. She found that Eliphis often had red eyes towards others, but the people around him seemed to be blind to it.
This is so terrifying, what kind of ability is this? How many people does he control?
Therefore, Selene, who was just an ordinary person, chose to lie down. She also saw through Eliphis' plan. Wasn't it just to wait for her to become queen and then rely on her to take the throne and control the country? Since she couldn't resist, she decided not to resist.
Of course, if the conditions were right, she would try to struggle.
Looking at the bright and beautiful people, she sighed in her heart:
After all, I still want to marry a tough guy like Ornstein or Artorius.
She is a big fan of the Sen Dungeon. She really likes the various heroic stories that appear in it, and she was attracted by Ornstein's appearance at first sight.
Rather than being a puppet princess here, it would be better for Ornstein to shoot her to death.
Selene looked bored and didn't want to talk to people, so she turned on the hearing enhancement magic again.
"Someone gave my father a gift before. Guess what it was? It turned out to be a decoration from the Thane dungeon. It's so funny. Who would take something like that as a gift?"
"There are a lot of products related to Sean on the market recently. I don't find them interesting. After all, they are made in a workshop in the countryside."
The words of the daughters were filled with disdain for the Senn Dungeon, and Selene heard it all.
These damn bitches are slandering Sean again!
She clenched her fists immediately. These noble ladies were sent by their parents to build good relationships with Selene in order to show their loyalty to Minister Oro and Eliphis.
Wait, Selina suddenly reacted, doesn't this mean that they dare not offend me and have to obey my wishes in everything?
A smile immediately appeared on her lips, and she stood up and walked towards the daughters, intending to win back a game for the Sean Dungeon.
When the daughters saw Selene come down on her own initiative, they immediately restrained their expressions and saluted awkwardly.
"Princess, you"
"Were you guys just talking about the Thane dungeon?"
The daughters looked at each other, nodded, and said, "Princess, are you also..."
"Yes, I really, ahem, admire that dungeon."
Realizing that she almost lost her composure, Selene coughed quickly.
Her sudden words made the daughters' unfinished words "Princess, do you also hate Sean?" stuck in their mouths and their faces turned red.
Celina blinked and said, "Do you like Sean too? I really want to find someone to chat with me, but unfortunately I can't find anyone who understands Sean."
Upon hearing this, the daughters all remembered the task their parents had given them to establish a good relationship with the princess, and hurriedly said:
"Yes, yes, I like the Thane Dungeon too."
"More than just liking it, I love Thane. When people give my family gifts, they always give me products from Thane's underground city!"
"I'm a fan of the Thane Dungeon~"
Took the bait.
The corners of Celina's mouth curved up slightly, and she clapped her hands and smiled: "That's great, I'm so happy to meet so many people who share the same interests at once."
The daughters were laughing happily, but they had no idea that hell was about to begin.
Selene kept asking various questions about Sean, and the daughters echoed her with cold sweat on their faces because they knew nothing about it.
But the princess just liked to ask them related questions, and they could only rack their brains to answer, with very embarrassed expressions.
"By the way, I like Son of Platinum the most. It would be great if I could get a headpiece that imitates his appearance." Selene pretended to sigh.
Son of Platinum? This name sounds powerful. Could it be the knight-type monster in the Thane dungeon?
A noble lady smiled and said, "My lady Princess, my family also has related businesses. If you want it, how about I personally give it to you someday?"
This cunning woman actually wanted to get some time alone with the princess! The daughters were furious when they heard this. They couldn't let anyone get ahead of them, so they all said they could give the Platinum Son headgear.
"If you like, I can even come to see you wearing a hood!" someone flattered.
"Really?" Selene's eyes lit up and she said, "Actually, I know a little bit about projection magic. Why don't you put it on for us to see?"
Huh? What is this request?
Qianjin was stunned when she said that, and after a complicated thought in her mind, she finally nodded reluctantly.
The name Son of Platinum sounds pretty impressive, and his headgear would probably be very handsome. It would be worth it if I could get along well with the princess!
Then she saw Selene take out a white, fat, big-eyed, cute Son of Platinum headgear on the spot.
“.”
The whole audience was silent.
“This, this, this.”
The noble lady was about to cry. What was this thing? Why was it so ugly!
"Come on, put it on quickly. I'm almost using up all my magic power just to make this." Selene smiled kindly.
"I, I," the noble lady trembled all over. If she wore this in public, would her life be over?
But you don't want to be hated by the princess, right?
"I'll wear it!"
Then a Son of Platinum appeared in the crowd, so abruptly that the musicians played out of tune.
The daughters looked surprised and took a step back.
"Haha, you are very funny. I admire you."
Selene's smile could hardly be suppressed. She patted the "Son of Platinum" on the shoulder and said, "You must come to my afternoon tea party."
Am I building a good relationship with the princess?
The noble lady under the hood didn't know whether she should cry or laugh. Why did she want to cry so much?
Charon, who was peeping from the side, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, thinking that the princess was still black when she was cut open.
However, I didn’t expect the princess to be so interested in Sean. I must seize this opportunity!
Just when Selene was about to take her daughters to the garden to play hide-and-seek with hoods, Charon pretended to pass by the crowd and a gold-plated medal of the King's Four Knights fell from his pocket.
"Sir, you dropped something."
Selene picked up the medal and couldn't take her eyes off it after just one look.
"I'm sorry, Princess, for the trouble." Charon pretended to apologize nervously and met Selene's sparkling eyes.
"Where did you get this medal, sir?"
"This is the latest product made in my workshop. Are you interested in it?"
Celina showed a surprised expression and said:
"Could it be that you are that Bede?"
"That's right," Count Charon bowed and said with a smile, "Charon of the Bed family is willing to serve you."
Not long after the banquet ended, the news that "Princess Selene likes the Sen Dungeon" spread.
Those nobles who wanted to have a good relationship with the princess began to learn everything about Thane and rushed to buy the products of the dungeon.
Soon after, influenced by the nobles, people living in the royal city and surrounding cities also began to follow suit. Since the products of the Sen Dungeon were all bought by the nobles, people set their sights on Sen's peripherals, and the most popular ones were naturally the products of the Bed family.
As a result, Bed's backlog of goods was quickly cleared out, new markets were successfully opened up, and the business was booming.
Also influenced by this trend, those who wanted to make money from the nobles also flocked into the Senn Underground City, which indirectly led to the Light Eagle Corps' base being crowded with people, and eventually forced the Light Eagle Corps to decide to relocate its base.
Even so, the one portal near the royal city was no longer enough, and people replicated the original scene of queuing up to enter the dungeon.
The number of people challenging Overlord Wolnir has skyrocketed because a great noble has offered a huge reward for Wolnir's crown.
But even with the strategy released by the Skyrim Strategy Group, most people cannot successfully defeat Vorniel. The mere task of collecting Poké Balls and catching Rust Monsters is enough to stop many people.
The royal city's attention to Sion is rising steadily, and naturally some people have also noticed the strategy teams on the front line.
According to an adventurer called "Lion" Leon, they have made a new discovery -
How to enter Irithyll in the Frostvale.
