Chapter 321 Signs of Infection

Chapter 321 Signs of Infection

Night, royal city, royal palace.

Inside the king's bedroom, several maids were sweating profusely as they carefully helped King Ainz III clean his body. They dared not even breathe, fearing that they would wake up the king and be eaten alive.

Recently, Ainz III's condition seems to have stabilized. Although he still becomes violent sometimes, he sleeps significantly more and can sleep for very long times.

Eliphis came over and said it was normal and nothing to worry about.

I don't know if he meant that there was no need to worry about the king's health or that there was no need to worry about the throne.

The maids were ordered to help the king wipe his body during this time. Even though they were full of fear, they had no choice but to do so.

"ah!"

There was a shrill scream. It turned out that the maid's arm was suddenly grabbed tightly by Ainz III's big hand with sharp nails. The nails pierced into the flesh and blood flowed out.

If you look more closely, you can see that there is also a wound on the palm of Ainz III's hand, and blood is oozing out.

In this way, his blood mixed with the maid's blood, but no one cared about this detail.

People quickly covered the maid's mouth, because the king had not woken up yet, and the movement might have been unconscious.

They hurriedly finished their last job and ran away with their buckets.

The scratched maid went to see the priest, covering her arm. She not only wanted treatment but also sought spiritual comfort.

In the church, under the shining of the holy light, her wounds healed as before, and her tense spirit slowly relaxed. It seemed that she would not suffer any psychological trauma.

My arm just seems a little itchy?

——————————

Discussions about [Irithyll of the Frost Valley] have become increasingly heated recently.

If there were a hot search list, it would probably remain in the top ten.

"Boss, didn't we agree to take a rest tomorrow?" Malu's voice, sounding exhausted as if she was about to lose her soul, echoed in the streets of the royal city.

"The plan has changed. We finally got the qualification to enter Irithyll first. Don't you want to be the first one to enter the Frigid Valley?"

Leon held the little doll tightly in his hand, afraid of losing it if he put it in his pocket. He hadn't been so excited for a long time.

Although they had previously guessed that the little doll would be in the Deep Church, they did not expect to get it so easily. Moreover, judging from the extra rewards given to them by the dungeon, they were also the first to defeat the group of Deep Bishops.

The dungeon is now closed, which means they are the only ones qualified to enter Irithyll tomorrow!

No one can refuse this honor!

Having said that, the strength of the Abyss Bishops group should be at the bottom among the current leaders. There shouldn't be anyone who can't defeat them, right?

No way?

Thinking of this, Leon touched Malu's head and comforted her: "After returning from Irithyll, I will take you to find Xiaohu to play, okay? I have bought the Poké Balls."

"Keep your word!" Malu suddenly became energetic. "Then let's go have a big meal today to replenish our energy for tomorrow's trip to the Frigid Valley!"

Laughter and joy were immediately heard in the air, and even though it was late at night, the royal city was still brightly lit.

The strategy team passed by a street corner and saw a newspaper boy hawking his wares. The man buying a newspaper in front of him looked familiar to Leon.

But before he could take a closer look, he was dragged into the tavern by his friends.

"A newspaper, thank you."

Gong Qiying, who has not been out for a while due to his busy work, is now sitting on a bench on the street with a newspaper, like an office worker who finally found a chance to slack off.

At first, he was still wondering if the world's technological level could really allow people to make something like a newspaper. But then he thought of magic and felt relieved.

This time, the newspaper he bought was not from one of the big newspapers, but a second-rate tabloid. Originally, this newspaper was on the verge of bankruptcy, but after the Sean Dungeon appeared near the royal city, it made a desperate move and chose to concentrate on producing content related to the dungeon.

As a result, he happened to catch up with the dungeon craze among the nobles and also received investment from Princess Selene. He jumped from being a nobody and now has some fame.

Gong Qiying reads this newspaper mainly because it has a section that randomly interviews adventurers about their feelings about popular dungeon areas. A group of people express their opinions just like he did on Tieba in his previous life.

The theme of this section today is [Irithyll of the Frost Valley]. Reporters only need to ask a few formulaic questions and then wait for the adventurers to answer them eloquently.

Adventurer A: [Irithyll? I love that place so much. You ask me why? Because I can't get in. Distance creates beauty, you know? I wait every day for the strategy team to figure out a way to get in.]

Adventurer B: [That city is obviously a place where rich people gather. I am already looking forward to showing off my lock picking skills. You ask about my profession? Hehe]

Adventurer C: [It's beautiful. After going through so much trouble to pass through the underground cemetery and defeat the Overlord Wolnir, I feel that my life is worth it to be able to see such a beautiful view.]

Reporter: [But, the legendary dragon's sky garden, the fairy's jewel sea, and other scenery are said to be comparable to Irithyll. Isn't your judgment on whether life is worthwhile a little too hasty? ]

Adventurer C: [Legends are just legends after all. Maybe it really exists, but that is a view that only a few people can see. Even if I listen to the description of those few people, I cannot feel its beauty. But in the Thane Dungeon, I saw Irithyll. Its beauty has become a brand in my mind. If I want, I can go there again at any time. That is the view that truly belongs to most of us.]

Reporter: [Well said. I want to go and take a look. Let’s see what the next adventurer has to say. He looks a little unhappy.]

Adventurer D: [****Sean Dungeon! **Irithyll! What does it mean to release dogs on the bridge!? I ***! ]

Seeing this, Gong Qiying finally laughed.

Just like a murderer always returns to the crime scene, he believed that the game producer in his previous life must also like to go to the forum to see players getting angry.

Then again, keeping an eye on the adventurer group's movements at any time and anywhere would be of great help to him in building the Sen Dungeon, so he is not slacking off now, he is also working!

Just like before, when the nobles in the royal city first became popular with the Sean craze, he almost noticed the trend at the first moment.

So he added a bunch of gadgets in Sean that looked gorgeous but were useless except for being good-looking. The result was obvious: these exquisite fashion gadgets were very popular among the nobles.

Later, he prepared some ingredients that were said to have aphrodisiac effects and sent them to the food area, successfully helping the ingredients in the food area to enter the dining tables of thousands of households in the royal city.

At first he thought it would be difficult to make the products of Sen Dungeon popular in the Royal City, but it turned out that he simply failed to grasp the characteristics of the people in the Royal City. Of course, Count Charon of the Bed family and others also made contributions, as he was much more aware of current affairs than his father.

Gong Qiying flipped through the newspaper, and at the back was a follow-up report on Sean's new sacrificial road and subsequent areas.

"There are more and more capable adventurers, and the speed of conquering new areas has increased a lot."

There have been many strategy guides related to the Road of Living Sacrifice and the Forest of Crucifixion. It is worth mentioning that this time the strategy guides are finally no longer monopolized by Leon or Luluwo. More and more strategy guide groups have emerged. Some of them are as powerful as the strategy guide groups from Bed City, or even stronger. Luluwo must have been sweating profusely these days.

Looking further ahead, I found that someone actually mentioned the strategy for the Deep Church.

But as I continued reading, I found out that the so-called strategy only mentioned the cemetery, and I couldn't even get to the roof.

"Leon and the other two teams have already obtained the dolls, and Irithyll in the Frost Valley can be opened, but there are still some small problems that have not been solved."

He controlled his external body and returned to the inn, and his spirit returned to the Thane Dungeon. A microscopic model of the Thane Dungeon appeared in front of him, and he slid to the Irithyll section of the Frigid Valley.

The entire map of Irithyll can be said to be very large. It can be generally divided into the urban area, the city and the underground prison. The underground prison is connected to the City of Sin in the game, but it has not been built yet, so let's not talk about it for now.

The three parts, the city area, the city below, and the underground prison, each have their own characteristics and tortures. The final boss, Pope Sullivan, is an unexpected surprise.

Behind Sullivan is the most famous map in the entire Dark Souls III - the backyard.

It is the place where the original five souls fought each other, honed their martial arts and morality, and competed for the title of "Knight". It also has important significance in the history of Soul III and even the entire Soul Tour.

Gong Qiying plans to turn the backyard here into a place where adventurers can fight each other to their heart's content. He believes that this must be the most vibrant area in the entire Senn dungeon.

In addition, a new covenant will also debut in Irithyll, that is the famous [Sword of Darkmoon].

Darkmoon Maniac returns for a limited time!

Behind Irithyll is a crucial scene in the Dark Soul world, Anor Londo, the city of the gods where the God-King Gwyn and his bloodline live.

This should be the place designed by Gong Qiying with great care, but no matter how he designed it, it feels a bit strange. What's strange about it?

After thinking hard, he finally found the problem, which was the [timeline].

Now that Salivan has come out, Anor Londo is now Aldrich's world. The once glorious royal city has been polluted by drowned pigs and is no longer as glorious as it once was. All the undead who have witnessed the greatness of the royal city in Dark Souls 1 will definitely have emotional fluctuations when seeing the polluted royal city.

But the adventurers wouldn't, because they had never seen the royal city before it was polluted, and therefore couldn't empathize with it.

Gong Qiying felt that this was a bit inappropriate, and the emotional rendering was not good enough.

After thinking it over, he decided that he really wanted the adventurers to see the desolate royal city first after seeing the normal Anor Londo.

"Let's use the form of a painting world. Create a few more painting worlds and place them near the bonfires in Irithyll."

He wrote and drew in his notebook, muttering to himself, "But Anor Londo can't be too easy. Adventurers may not be able to clear it. Should we give them more help?"

He subconsciously drew an iron bucket-like helmet on the notebook, and laughed after seeing it.

"Sure enough, the best teammate has to be the Sun Warrior."

On the surface, Irithyll is just a map.

But in fact, people will also see the glorious Anor Londo here!
