Chapter 426: Embarking on the Path of the Ancient Dragon
Original, original flavor???
Looking at Selina who was holding the armor and laughing, Fingri couldn't help but take a step back with a very strange expression on his face.
If you see something that is most likely a relic of your idol in front of you, can you still be happy that you have the original armor worn by your idol?
The princess' behavior is weird no matter how you think about it!
He turned his head with a stiff neck and exchanged glances with his companions. The others all shook their heads, unable to understand what was going on in the princess's little head.
Could it be that he went crazy because the blow was too great?
"suck--"
Selene held the lion helmet and took a deep breath. Dust and debris rushed into her nostrils, choking her and causing her to cough continuously.
"Cough, cough, cough, it's all ash, no smell at all."
Even the violent coughing did not make her throw the lion helmet aside, and she kept holding it in her arms.
Fingri's desire to complain increased after seeing this. How could the smell of Ornstein still remain when the armor has become like this? If there is still a smell now, how strong must the smell be normally?
"I'll ask the craftsmen to polish it and keep it for later use. Uhuhuhu~"
"No, no, if it's polished, there won't be any traces of age. So, should we keep it intact?"
"But it doesn't look good if it's all dusty. Oh, I'm so confused. What do you think? Should I polish it or not?"
We we stood and watched.
The people in Hassawi's team didn't know what to say. Selene's mental state was the most beautiful among all the people they had seen in their adventure careers.
Selina looked at the different expressions of the three people opposite her, and suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Doesn't it feel less sad now after all this commotion?"
She swept the dust off the lion's helmet and said, "I am afraid you are too sad."
I might have felt a little depressed, but now that you've done this, I really feel like nothing has happened. Matilda muttered to herself.
"I didn't expect that he would leave his armor here in the end."
Selene stroked the armor that was covered with traces of time, and her tone returned to normal. She put the parts of the armor together one by one, and the complete Ornstein armor was gradually completed.
"I know what you're thinking. You think I'll be sad after seeing this, so you want to comfort me, right?"
She arranged the arm armor neatly.
"There was a moment just now when I really wanted to cry, like a dam bursting, but I suddenly figured it out."
She put the leg armor in place piece by piece.
"Just because the armor is placed here doesn't mean Ornstein died here. Maybe he took off his armor and returned to his hometown. Armor doesn't represent life."
The breastplate has quite a lot of damage, but it can be repaired with magic power.
"Besides, even if his life really ended here, I think he is quite lucky."
Selene looked at a piece of the fragment for a long time, but couldn't decide where to put it. She said:
"Look, the Faran Undead Squad was eventually corroded by the Abyss and lost their minds, Overlord Vornir survived with the help of his bracelet, and Gwyndolin was devoured by Aldrich. Compared to the others, at least Ornstein accomplished his goal of finding the eldest son of the sun, and it didn't look like it would end in tragedy."
"This is a rare good ending in the Thane dungeon. Why should I be sad? I can't wait to be happy!"
After hearing what she said, Fingri wanted to take back his previous judgment that the princess was crazy.
The other person's mental state is indeed beautiful, and he is better at regulating his emotions independently. When faced with any situation, he can find explanations that can make him have positive emotions.
And after the princess's comparison, it seems that Ornstein's ending is indeed quite good.
Seeing Selene so optimistic, Fingri felt relieved but also a little disappointed in his heart.
Perhaps it was because he was disappointed that he couldn't see the princess burst into tears. Thinking of this, even he felt that he was being a bit too harsh.
Looking at the other party who was still trying to figure out how to place the fragments, he sighed and said:
"I'll take it back for you to find a craftsman to repair it. It's getting late. You might as well wait here instead of meeting the Nameless King."
"I'd much rather fix it myself if I could."
After seeing Ornstein's armor, Selene suddenly felt that this trip into the dungeon was worthwhile.
I saw a lot of good things and witnessed the final stories of my favorite characters. It felt like I had finally reached the end of a show.
I feel satisfied, reluctant and a little sad. In short, it is a very wonderful feeling.
She suddenly remembered the novel she had interrupted halfway. Since she came to the palace, she was forced to give up writing, and the readers could not see the ending.
Half of the reason was that there were too many and too complicated things going on in the palace, and the other half was that she felt she couldn't continue writing and couldn't think of a good ending.
But now, she had a vague idea of how to write the ending of the novel.
"When I get back this time, even if I can only write a few hundred words a day, I must finish it."
Selene was still mending her armor while thinking. Meanwhile, the members of Hasavi's team were discussing the gains from this adventure.
Not only did he discover a new area called "Top of the Ancient Dragon", defeat the ancient flying dragon and Havel's warriors, challenge the snakeman army together with Hawkwood, but he also found the "Unknown King" who should be the final boss.
Although there are still many roads on the Ancient Dragon Peak that they have not explored, their other achievements are enough to show that their exploration this time is fruitful. Discovering new areas and finding the final boss within one day, this terrifying efficiency is enough to rank at the top among adventurers.
Defeating the ancient flying dragon will give you the dragon head stone, and the effect after using it is exactly the same as what Clan had originally. By giving up some of your looks, you can improve your basic strength. This almost cost-free way of becoming stronger will surely be very popular.
By defeating the Javier warrior, you can get his weapon and shield. These things can probably only be used by people with natural supernatural powers. If your physical fitness allows, perhaps imitating the Javier warrior's dressing and fighting style is also a good choice.
By defeating the snake-men army, you can get the Glorious Dragonstone. At present, we don’t know how much the Glorious Dragonstone, as an advanced version of dragonstone, can improve the human body, but it will surely not disappoint people. After all, even Hawkwood yearns for it. Speaking of which, this guy actually ran away without saying a word, which is really annoying.
Defeat the Nameless King. Sorry, this cannot be done.
Fingri was thinking, maybe he could organize a team of experts to give it a try like last time?
But he quickly rejected the idea.
"The Nameless King gives me the feeling that he is hundreds of times more terrifying than Aldridge. Even if we organize a subjugation team, it will be useless. Besides..."
And it seems like they have no reason to fight to the death with the Nameless King?
The reason why people had a decisive battle with Aldridge was because of various factors such as the Dark Moon Sword, which came from the adventurers' own forces, was suppressed by the Church of Holy Light, which eventually led to the decisive battle. If Elsa hadn't been there at the time, the battle might not have been successful.
After that battle, both the Hell March and Elsa seemed to have been lying dead for a long time. I wonder if Elsa has recovered now.
From the current perspective, the Nameless King, or the Eldest Son of the Sun, gives people the feeling that he is a hermit who has been living in seclusion on the top of the Ancient Dragon Peak after having an affair with a dragon. He has not done anything bad that would make people angry, and he is extremely powerful. It is really hard for people to have the idea of attacking him.
"Never mind, just go back and report to the guild. Whether they want to fight or not is none of my business."
Fingri muttered to himself that he had already achieved financial freedom a long time ago and could retire right now. Unlike the common adventurers who made a living in the dungeon, his series of adventures in the Sen dungeon were entirely out of his own interest.
He had no interest in conquering the Nameless King, so even if the Adventurer's Guild approached him after this, he would not join the conquest.
"My dear Princess, the time is almost up. Hurry up and pack everything you want to take with you. It will be troublesome if you forget something."
Feeling that the time was almost up, he turned around and reminded.
Alayya and Matilda picked up the dragon's fang and Javier's greatshield respectively. It was obvious that it was a bit of a stretch for them to carry only these things.
"Wait a minute, I think I have an idea."
Selene searched over and over again, and finally found the place where the last small piece of armor belonged, and happily pressed it back on.
Although she could exchange her soul from the Brass Woman for a brand new set of Ornstein armor, she always felt that it was soulless.
And now the weathered armor in front of her is very soulful, it looks like something that the other person has actually worn. She can even imagine smelling it while holding it.
The last piece was pressed in, and the armor was completely repaired!
Selene admired her masterpiece for a few seconds, then quickly took out a bag to pack it up, intending to take the armor back intact.
However, at this moment, the armor suddenly changed.
When it was completely repaired, a spot of light appeared on the surface of the armor, and Selene's hand just pressed on it.
"Huh?"
The object in the light spot is a ring, and inside the ring is a tiny painting.
[Painting World "On the Road of Ancient Dragons"]
[A painting that records the story of a seeker who set foot on the path of the ancient dragon in ancient times. It contains fragments of the original ancient dragon's path. By passing the trial of the fragments, you will gain some of the power of the ancient dragon.]
[The seeker encountered the Lion Knight who came to look for an old friend. This is the story from the seeker's perspective]
The moment she touched the ring, Selene once again felt dizzy and a strange scene appeared before her eyes.
"No way, again!?"
She opened her eyes and what appeared before her was a sunny scene. Wasn’t this still at Gulongding?
No, this is the foot of the mountain, thousands or even tens of thousands of meters away from the top of the mountain!
"Do I have to climb up from here?"
When she thought of this, Selene wanted to clear her mental energy and leave immediately. Climbing mountains was too tiring and more torturous than fighting.
She was surrounded by people of all kinds, and everyone looked exhausted, but their eyes were full of enthusiasm as they looked towards the top of the mountain. This was the look of a fanatical seeker.
Before Selene had time to take a closer look, there was a commotion among the group of seekers, and they all fled to the sides, leaving her standing there stupidly.
"What's wrong?"
A tall shadow suddenly appeared behind her. She turned her head and her eyes changed instantly.
It's Ornstein alive!
