Chapter 448 King's First Experience with Sean
The news that the king was going to enter the underground city of Sen could not be concealed.
After all, the scene just heading out to the portal to the Senn Underground City was huge enough that anyone could tell at a glance that it was a convoy from the royal palace.
The people were naturally very curious about this king who had been ill for a long time, but they did not crane their necks to look at the convoy, because Ainz III had already appeared in front of the people before today.
After the Black Hawk Rebellion ended, the superiors always had to make various speeches. At this time, if Ainz III stood up, it would have a very inspiring effect, so after his condition stabilized a little, he had been committed to appeasing the public.
It had been a long time since he fulfilled his responsibilities as a king, and this made him so excited that he felt as if he had become several years younger.
And now, the fact that he could enter the dungeon immediately made him seem even younger!
"Hey! Your Majesty, were you also an adventurer when you were young? I'm curious about your adventure stories back then!"
"Hehe, those things back then are very nostalgic to me, but to adventurers of your level, they are just ordinary and even boring stories."
"How could it be boring? Your Majesty, your experience feels just like a legend!"
The royal carriage was filled with a lively atmosphere.
Princess Selene looked at Fingri speechlessly as he turned into a supporting actor, and his series of auspicious words made Ainz III laugh so hard that he couldn't stop.
She glanced at Matilda beside her, who was also looking at Fingerly, but her eyes showed an emotion of not being able to bear to look directly at him, as if to say:
"It's too shameful to watch. It's really too shameful to watch."
As for why the Hasavi team appeared in this carriage, it was of course because of Selene's recommendation. After all, if the king wanted to enter the dungeon, he would always need some guides with sufficient experience.
Well, as gold-rank adventurers who were on good terms with the princess and now also heroes who fired the first shot in the rebellion against Eliphis, the Hathaway team was naturally invited and gladly came to serve as guides.
In fact, the purpose of Ainz III entering the Senn Dungeon this time is very simple. One is to upgrade, and the other is to perform the secret fire ritual. In general, he came here to strengthen his mental resistance.
Hathaway's team does not need to worry about upgrading. Ainz III has collected a huge amount of soul blocks of all sizes from various places, and can pile up two Serenas at a time.
What the Hassawi team really needs to do is to navigate the king in the underground cemetery of Kassas until they find three necromancers to obtain the secret ritual of fire injection. They don't even need to participate in the battle in between, as General Guillimanbo and the knights accompanying them will handle it.
After all, they seemed to be here to keep the peace, and Selene also had a little selfish motive in this.
"I heard you're leaving?"
While Ainz III was chatting animatedly with Fingri, Selene looked at Matilda, who nodded without comment.
"Because we are going to take a vacation, like a trip to look back on the past," said Matilda.
Even though Fingri seems to be chatting and laughing with Ainz III like a community bull, he actually spent the first few days after the Black Hawk Rebellion wandering around the ruins of his hometown. As for the reason for his wandering, even he himself couldn't explain it clearly, as if he had lost all his memories of those days.
According to Alayya's description, Fingri looked like a zombie who had lost his dreams.
They took a lot of effort to correct Fingri, however.
Now and then he still occasionally falls into a brief daze, and no one knows what he is thinking about.
"Although I am reluctant to leave you, I still wish you a happy journey."
"Thank you, Princess."
Matilda also opened up and said:
"In fact, Fingri has been very envious of you, Princess, these days. He was referring to the fact that you were saved by Ornstein's weapon. He kept wondering why a Darkmoon Arrow didn't come from somewhere to save him when he was injured."
Selene's vanity almost exploded after hearing this.
"So he challenged the painting world all day yesterday and wanted to try to reach the top or something."
The journey passed in a relaxed and pleasant chat atmosphere until we officially arrived at the portal and entered the Sen dungeon.
"This is the legendary Sean."
Not long after, in the Fire Shrine, Ainz III sighed at the scenery before him.
Celina, who accompanied him in, the Hathaway team and a group of knights remained silent at this moment, allowing Ainz III to enjoy his feelings for Sion.
"This is the underground city that saved me and my country several times."
Ainz III breathed in the air of the Fire Shrine and touched the traces of time on the buildings. He couldn't express the myriad emotions in his heart.
Why did he say "several degrees"?
Although it was only his own guess, he believed that the reason why the Kingdom of Anor was able to survive the crisis brought by the meteor shower and not be destroyed by the evil god's dim star like another small country might be because of what Sean did somewhere.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the evil god's perfect preparations suddenly failed.
"Please allow me to express my sincerest gratitude to you."
Muttering quietly to himself, Ainz III lit the bonfire at the Firelink Shrine.
As the person who lit a bonfire for the first time, all the bonfire images that Sean had seen so far were displayed in front of him. His body suddenly stiffened, and he was even shaking slightly at the end, with his eyes widened as wide as possible.
When Selene saw this scene, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, completely forgetting that her reaction was even more exaggerated when she first saw these images.
After an unknown amount of time, Ainz III finally emerged from the image and staggered. The knights who had been prepared quickly supported him, and the accompanying magician was about to cast a spell to stabilize his mental state.
However, Ainz III waved his hand and refused.
"No, I don't need to." After taking a few deep breaths, he blinked his shining eyes and said, "I feel more comfortable than ever before!"
This is the first time people have seen such a spirited king!
"Should I say it's my spirit or my blood boiling? Anyway, I feel like swinging a sword right now. I want to do something exciting." Ainz III clenched his hands and kept muttering to himself, his cheeks turning red. People looked at each other, not knowing how to react to this situation.
What people don't know is that after watching the bonfire video, Ainz III's biggest thought was -
I also want to do something great like Gwyn's passing on of fire.
People of different identities will have different feelings when watching the same image. When he watched the campfire image, he regarded Gwyn, the King of Sunshine, more as a great monarch, and even put himself in his shoes.
Then he climaxed.
If you ask what his biggest wish is since he became king, in addition to hoping that the country will always be strong, he also hopes that he can leave a good reputation in history.
So when he saw Gwyn passing on the fire to continue the world, and this act and his name would be remembered by people for all eternity, he seemed to have seen his ultimate dream!
Besides that, those heroic legends made the adventurer self that was sealed away in his heart show signs of awakening!
“Princess, what should His Majesty do in this situation?” Even General Guillimanbo, who looked like a reliable adult, didn’t know what to do with the appearance of Ainz III.
"Uh, let Dad calm down for a while."
Selene really didn't know how to calm Ainz III down. She couldn't cast a sedative on him, right?
She saw a certain emotion in the other person's eyes, and that emotion had also appeared in her own eyes before. To put it simply:
My impression of Sean is skyrocketing!
Seeing this, Celina couldn't help but think of what Ainz III said with a confident smile last night after they confirmed that they were going to enter the Thane Dungeon:
"I am very grateful to that dungeon, but I have seen too many legends in my life. Ordinary heroic legends cannot move me. I will not have any special feelings for that dungeon like you, a little girl who has not experienced much of the world."
Ordinary heroic legends might not really impress Ainz III, but unexpectedly, the legend of a king like Gwyn would hit his sweet spot!
It turns out that the nature of human beings is to love fragrance.
Although Ainz III was excited, he did not forget the purpose of coming to the dungeon. The knights brought over box of soul blocks, and he repeated the process of pinching the soul blocks and spending souls to upgrade. According to the doctor's advice, he focused on upgrading his vitality and intelligence. The former improved the physical condition, and the latter enhanced the mental strength.
What was originally boring and repetitive work, he now enjoys doing it.
As his level increased, his mental state improved visibly, and his skinny body seemed to be able to feel the vitality flowing.
Until the end, he even asked for a sword from the knight, and excitedly called on Hasavi's team to charge towards the Casas catacombs.
"Has His Majesty ever been so energetic?"
"No, I guess father just chose to temporarily 'degenerate' into a child in this dungeon like me, and choose to relax."
Ainz III really thought so. He had been suppressed in the palace for too long. After waking up, he immediately took on the responsibility of being the king to appease the people. The pressure he had accumulated was actually very high.
So now he is a little too relaxed in Sion, as shown in the following:
"What is this? A cursed frog? Cut it down!"
"What is this? Gulu? Cut it!"
"What is this? A soul-sucking ghost? Cut it down--"
"Go and protect His Majesty the King!!!"
Ainz III showed great interest in everything in the Senn Dungeon. Whenever he came across a strange-looking stone, he would pick it up and take a look at it like the girl in the band.
This was a tough time for the people who were responsible for protecting him. They had to stay close to Ainz III to prevent him from going too far.
Fingri looked back and forth between Ainz III and Selene, and couldn't help but sigh that these two were indeed father and daughter, as they were both equally crazy when they relaxed.
However, it is not easy to see such a contrasting side of the legendary majestic king. It is too rare, and he has to take a closer look.
Only after he had dealt with the three necromancers and obtained the secret ritual of fire infusion did Ainz III look a little tired and not as excited as he was at the beginning.
Fingerly was wondering whether today's adventure could come to an end, but what he didn't expect was that the king had set his sights on him.
"Gerry," Ainz III even called out Fingri's nickname after just one day of getting along. "Can the Sword of the Oath of Darkmoon on you be used to perform an activity called invasion?"
"Ah, yes." Fingerly nodded. Wait, what does the king want to do?
Ainz III smiled and said, "I heard from Oro that our country's outstanding adventurers have greatly improved their martial arts and martial virtues through activities such as 'invasion'. When the meteor shower changed, they defeated the adventurers from other countries very well, which really brought glory to our country."
So what do you want to say.
"Then can you attract an invader?" Ainz III said with interest, "I want to see what kind of warrior spirit the Warrior Country wants to learn from you."
"Then you'll have to prepare your deodorant."
Fingri said this for no reason and was about to take out the props to summon invaders when he suddenly realized that they were still in the BOSS battlefield of the three corpse masters. In such a place, he could not use props to attract invaders and could only go out first.
However, just as they were leaving, Fingri, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped everyone and stared straight ahead.
What's wrong? Are there enemies?
A painting was lying on the ground in front of me. The next second, two figures suddenly emerged from the painting!
The two sides became nervous as soon as they met. The knights thought they had encountered an assassin, but -
“Hero?” Ainz III asked.
That's right, the one who suddenly appeared in front of them from the painting was the brave Elsa who dealt the final blow to Eliphis.
"Your Majesty!" The people around Elsa seemed a little flustered after seeing the king and his entourage clearly. Upon closer inspection, they realized that it was Sally.
There were still some animal characteristics left on his body, but they could be covered up with clothes. He was considered a rare survivor of the Black Hawk Rebellion.
"Another intrusion."
Fingri understood why he encountered Elsa and Sally. He remembered that Elsa had been missing for the past few days and thought that she had left the royal city. He didn't expect to see her in the Sean dungeon.
Selene couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing here?"
Sally was obviously a little nervous in the face of this scene, and replied: "Help Elsa deal with some unfinished business before she leaves, which is to successfully conquer the painting world just now."
He picked up the painting world "Berserk" in his hand and explained.
At this moment, Erza looked at Ainz III and asked directly:
"Want to see the true ending?"
