Chapter 437 Father is currently committing
"You mean to say that Lord Eliphis entered the dungeon after fighting with his subordinate who had left the Light Eagle Group?"
In the evening, at the palace.
Princess Celina expressed doubts about the information her maid brought back.
The maid nodded continuously and said, "Yes, according to a captain of the Light Eagle Group, Lord Eliphis and another captain entered the Thane Underground City and entered a brand new painting world. Two full days have passed so far."
Hearing this, Selene felt a sense of relief, but unfortunately she couldn't show it in front of the maid.
She just showed a worried look, which was consistent with her personality.
"Minister Oro and General Guillimanbo show no signs of waking up yet?" she asked again.
After receiving a negative answer from the maid, she couldn't help but sigh.
It was really distressing that the two high-ranking officials who had fallen into a coma during the "attack" by the Warrior Country showed no signs of waking up.
It’s not that Selene has any good feelings towards these people, but if they don’t wake up, the palace will almost become a one-man show for Eliphis. The forces opposing him lack a backbone, and it is possible to resist, but it is unlikely.
Finally, she sent the maid away and sat down on the sofa alone.
"That guy might as well just die in the dungeon."
Selene almost hoped that the bonfire would be eliminated in the Senn Dungeon. In that case, she could still fantasize about secretly tampering with Eliphis's teleportation crystal and making this annoying guy die in the dungeon.
She picked up the teacup in front of her and was about to take a sip, but suddenly the handle of the cup broke and the scalding tea spilled onto the sofa.
Fortunately, she was strengthened in the Sen dungeon and spread her thighs in time, otherwise she would have been burned.
"That's not right. I'm so fast, I should have caught the teacup, right?"
She smacked her forehead in annoyance, stood up from the sofa, and without bothering to call the maid to come in and clean up, she moved her butt onto the chair next to her.
"I don't know why I always have a bad feeling."
Starting from the past two days, her eyelids would twitch occasionally, and the bad premonition became stronger every day, and today she was even restless.
The handle of the cup just broke. Is this a bad omen?
"No, no, don't think too much about it. What if something bad comes true?"
She breathed calmly and radiated her spirit all around. She had complete control over the movements of people outside the room and in the corridor. It could be said that she could see it clearly. This was an ability she acquired after she challenged the world of painting and embarked on the path of ancient dragons.
To put it simply, while physical fitness is strengthened, mental abilities are also slightly enhanced.
As a paying player, she already has certain numerical values, and the painting world allows her to bring out some of the capabilities of these values.
Using her diffused mind, she could be sure that no one would approach or even enter his room, so she could relax with confidence.
She took out the transmission device that Matilda had given her and projected the image onto the opposite wall, showing the adventures of the Hassawi team.
The books are updated steadily at the rate of one per day, as if they are accompanying Selene. This is one of her few pastimes.
Today, the Hassawi team challenged Pope Sullivan's phantom and Aldridge in succession, but not for the purpose of winning, but for the purpose of experimentation.
After testing, it was found that taking out the Holy Bell of Yurshika when fighting against Pope Sullivan's Phantom and Aldridge can make both of them go berserk for a short period of time. However, this berserk is not all bad, because their moves will have bigger flaws and become simpler.
The miracles released through Yurshika's Holy Bell are even particularly effective against these two bosses, causing exponential damage.
After defeating Aldridge, the Darkmoon Longbow refined with his soul also has damage bonus to these two, as well as some special effects, which effectively reduces the difficulty of the crusade to some extent.
But unfortunately, both of these weapons can only be obtained after killing Aldridge, so it would be a bit troublesome for ordinary people to use them in combat.
There were still some teams that could defeat the Phantom of Pope Sullivan, but not Aldridge. Apart from the time when Elsa was with him, he only won once afterwards, and that was against an almost entirely gold-level team organized by the Adventurer's Guild of the Royal City, and they only won a tragic victory after undergoing targeted training.
Fortunately, there are no areas in Anor Londo that can only be opened after defeating Aldrich, otherwise the number of people who can enter can be counted on one's fingers.
"Since the emergence of Ancient Dragon Peak, the popularity of Ornstein and the Nameless King has been steadily rising. The Bed family has a batch of new small sculptures to be launched on the market. We will buy you a few limited editions when the time comes." Fingri said in the video.
The emergence of a new area is bound to cause people to rush in, and at the top of the ancient dragon there is a heavyweight character like the Nameless King, as well as the veteran and popular player Ornstein.
In terms of practicality, the dragon head stone obtained by defeating the ancient flying dragon is the latest trend in the adventurer market recently. The strengthening effect of embarking on the ancient dragon road in the painting world on the adventurer himself is also quite popular. In terms of physical perception, the strengthening obtained by climbing half of the road is equivalent to increasing the strength by one or two levels.
Of course, most people stop halfway, or don’t even get halfway.
"In fact, Count Bedard has already sent me a batch of genuine limited editions in advance." Selene glanced at the small sculpture she placed on the bedside and couldn't help but smile. "But thank you anyway."
The Ancient Dragon's Top has also recently gained popularity for an unexpected reason, and that's the number of souls gained from killing monsters.
The number of souls that a giant snakeman can provide is almost the same as that of the giant guards in the painting world Anor Londo, which is slightly less. However, multiple people can enter the top of the ancient dragon in a team.
Therefore, some adventurers began to use the giant snakemen to accumulate souls. The number divided equally among each teammate was also quite good. The income from staying here for a whole day was enough to make even a wolf smile.
Accumulating souls is not necessarily for the purpose of upgrading. Spending souls with merchants such as Kale is also a major destination for souls. In other words, souls cannot circulate among adventurers, otherwise someone will definitely use souls as currency.
"Ding-dong!"
The sound of armor colliding could be heard on screen. Upon closer inspection, several adventurers wearing heavy armor passed by behind Fingri and his companions. The armor they were wearing made them look like Havel warriors! ?
It's either like, or imitating!
"These guys are imitators of Havel's warriors. Recently, many heavy armored warriors have transformed into this style."
Fingri lowered his voice and whispered, "To be honest, these guys did this because they were discouraged by the Javier warriors."
What kind of person is this, who actually dares to imitate the clothes of the enemy who has abused him dozens of times? Could it be that he wants to rely on disguise to make the other party think that he is the same kind as him?
Selene looked like she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh out loud for fear of attracting attention. The adventurers were really funny.
“Boom boom boom!”
There was a knock on the door, and within a second she quickly put away the transmission device, put the necklace it was attached to back around her neck, and put everything in order.
It seems that there is still some magic power left in the transmission device that has not been completely drained away, but it doesn’t matter. The screen has been turned off and I just have to wait for the remaining magic power to dissipate automatically.
"My lady Princess, His Majesty the King is asleep. You may visit him now."
"Um."
Selene responded calmly, and when she arrived at the bedroom of King Ainz III, she was accompanied by four fully armed knights and two maids.
The door to the king's chamber slowly opened, and the air that blew out seemed to carry the smell of an indescribable beast.
The maids did not dare to light the lamp. They walked in front and guided the princess to the bed where Ainz III was resting.
At this moment, Ainz III still maintained his human form, lying on the bed exhausted, emitting uneven breathing sounds that sounded like a broken bellows, which was unpleasant to hear.
Today was a rare day when the king could be at peace, and on days like this, Princess Selene would usually come to visit him.
"Princess, please."
The maid brought hot water and a towel. Selene took it and carefully wiped Ainz III's hairy body with the warm towel. It was a scene of loving father and filial son.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the exhausted Ainz III, her eyes full of sympathy and a hint of resentment.
She and her father have never communicated before. Today's visit was not the first time, and it was she who took the initiative to propose it.
Selene felt that her insignificant visits and care were not out of family affection, but rather a feeling of sympathy, as if both parties were trapped in the palace.
The only difference is that she is more sober now.
The visit would not be too long, because the knight and the maid would be worried that the king would do something bad to the princess after he woke up.
However, just as it was about to end, a clear voice was heard.
"You all should withdraw."
The moment she heard the voice, Selene was startled and turned around to look.
Eliphis was smiling at her.
Why did this guy come here at this time!?
A bad premonition came to the top. When she saw the servants leave obediently and even close the door considerately, she forced a smile and said, "Lord Eliphis, we are going out too!"
She let out a stifled scream as Eliphis suddenly grabbed her wrist.
"You, what are you going to do?"
Eliphis said nothing, but moved closer to Selene, looking at her with a playful gaze.
Behind Selene was the King's bed, and there was no way for her to move back unless she sat on the King.
She looked at the other person uneasily. Eliphis had never given her such a strange feeling before, and she didn't know what to do now.
On the other side, Eliphis looked at the princess, but he was thinking of another man - Griffith.
He looked at Selene, wondering what kind of mood Griffith was in that led him to rape the princess, which led to a series of tragedies.
He has been trying to figure out Griffith's psychology these days, for no other reason than that he feels there is something he can learn from him.
And now he came to Selene in order to put himself in Griffith's shoes more deeply.
Eliphis frowned, he still couldn't imagine it.
How about just doing the same thing as that senior did at the beginning?
He has no interest in women, but he doesn't hate them either.
When this thought came to his mind, Selene noticed it instantly, almost as if she could read his mind. She took a breath of cold air, she never thought that the other party would really dare to do such a thing!
And this is the king’s bedroom!
Those servants seemed to be Eliphis's men. Thinking about it this way, he did have the capital to act lawless here.
A deep feeling of powerlessness surrounded Selene. Seeing Eliphis gradually becoming more determined, she couldn't help biting her lip.
Do you want to use [Homeward Path] to escape?
As this thought came to her mind, she had no way out and her skirt brushed against the king.
"Selene"
Eliphis grabbed her hands, his eyes still revealing thought, as if the girl in front of him was just a tool to help him think.
Celina made up her mind.
"I--"
“Ahhhh!”
A wild roar was heard, and Eliphis retreated violently, but three deep bloody scratches were still left on his face!
Selina was thrown to the side by him and fell to the ground, but she didn't care about the pain at all, but looked at the figure who suddenly rose up in shock.
It's Ainz III!
The body suddenly turned into a beast and stood between Eliphis and Selene like a high wall!
Eliphis touched the blood on his face, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he drew the saber from his waist.
Just at this moment, the door was slammed open.
He thought it was the guards coming in, and immediately shouted, "Get out!"
However, what responded to him was a crazy, beastly roar!
Several alien figures immediately pounced towards Eliphis. They also looked like beasts, but the degree of their transformation seemed even more relaxed than that of the king!
And judging from their attire, these beastmen are actually the knights and maids who just left!
Eliphis showed a look of surprise for the first time.
The transmission device on the princess's necklace moved strangely after being hit.
