Chapter 452: Information about the Sealed Object
The operation against the seal failed?
When Gong Qiying saw the content of the letter, he couldn't help but become curious.
The only sealed object he had ever come into contact with and fought against was the Burning Demon, and that was when he was led by Chiya and several other city lords.
That crusade couldn't be said to be easy, but it could be considered unremarkable, because Chiya had means to completely target the Burning Demons, so this group of sealed creatures that had caused such a big storm in ancient times couldn't even escape from the dungeon, which was extremely frustrating.
Monsters that could cause major disasters in ancient times may not necessarily cause any harm today. This is the information Gong Qiying learned from that battle.
As long as targeted measures are taken, these disasters can be nipped in the bud.
So he was curious about why the bound dungeon failed. Shouldn't the city lord who was confident in taking on the task of re-sealing the escaped seal have taken countermeasures?
But curiosity aside, he was not familiar with the Bound Dungeon, and he was not idle enough to help others everywhere. Besides, if there was a problem with the sealed object, old man Chiya would take the initiative to help.
So Gong Qiying did not reply to the Bound Dungeon.
It was not until the third day that something happened that prompted him to reply.
A bounty was offered to everyone from the palace.
[Bounty Target: Yharnam Hunter]
[Target area: Fran Fortress]
[Defeat the Yharnam Hunter and obtain its recovery item "Blood Collection Bottle"]
【Commission bounty.】
Because the bounty was relatively generous and there was no limit to the number of blood bottles that could be recovered, this bounty became popular and attracted many adventurers to participate.
However, the appearance rate of Yharnam hunters is very, very low. You may not encounter one even when you come to the Faran Fortress. Even if you do, ordinary teams cannot defeat it. After all, blood collection bottles are currently only needed by King Ainz III. They are not necessary for other adventurers. It is better to maintain the output in a small range.
The royal palace would naturally send knights into the Senn dungeon to try their luck in finding Yharnam hunters. It was also during the conversations with these knights that Gong Qiying collected a lot of useful information.
How did he collect the information, you ask?
Let the dungeon automatically record the entire adventure process of those interesting people. You can watch it repeatedly when you need it, just like watching Black Super Dream.
From the conversation between the knights, Gong Qiying summed up two interesting things.
The first thing: The interrogation results of the remnants of the Light Eagle Group are out.
The royal palace successfully learned of the existence of the fallen demon egg, and immediately launched a vigorous campaign to confiscate this item in the country. The activity is currently in the process of fermentation, and it is said that many people have been caught.
At the beginning of the event, a star chef from the Chefs Union came forward to surrender, saying that he had been given a demon egg by a strange person.
But when the soldier asked him about the whereabouts of the demon egg, the cook shook his head and said that the creature committed suicide.
According to the information provided by the chef, during a duel with Chef Kulipa, he tasted the luxurious food made by the other party using ingredients from the Thane Dungeon and felt a great sense of happiness and satisfaction. When he came to his senses, the Demon Egg disappeared automatically. There may be a connection between the two.
Then, people naturally discovered that emotions were linked to the Demon Egg. After experiments, they found that Happiny, a food that can make people feel happy, can almost be said to be the natural enemy of the Demon Egg. Even if it cannot be eliminated, it can at least enhance human resistance to it.
So according to what the knight said, the royal palace seems to be preparing to classify Happy Egg from a food ingredient to an essential medicine, and to make rules requiring everyone in the kingdom to eat a Happy Egg every once in a while.
Originally, the palace wanted to use the influential church like the Holy Light Church to further promote the effects of Happiny and the harms of the Demon Egg. However, the Holy Light Church seems to have recently been caught up in a very difficult awakening craze because of someone. Even those blessed by the gods have awakened, making them overwhelmed and unable to take care of themselves.
The second thing: The parasitic monsters in Red Germany were causing chaos, and Ainz III pointed out that it was the work of the evil god "Hidden Dark Star".
Although the crisis in his own country was temporarily over, the old king did not forget his fellow sufferer, Sweden, who was also harmed by the evil god.
After the domestic situation in the Kingdom of Anor was basically stabilized, he thought of the country of Red which was still suffering from the calamity of the evil god.
So he spread the news that the disaster caused by the evil god in Sweden was contagious.
The Kingdom of Anor cannot travel thousands of miles to support Sweden in resolving the disaster in the short term, but if this news is released, the countries around it should be very "happy" to help them.
Hasn't the Warrior Country already sent an army to rescue? I heard that the female general leading the army is also a well-known strong person, and she is also a master. I believe she will be able to help this country well.
But why is there still no news coming from the military?
These actions of Ainz III won him a lot of good reputation. People felt that with the awakened old king, the gentle and resolute princess, as well as the ministers and generals, the Kingdom of Anor is thriving!
This side of the Thane dungeon.
Gong Qiying had been paying attention to the news about the evil god. No matter what, the two of them were now at odds with each other. If the evil god's power grew stronger, it would be hard to say whether it would be detrimental to Sean in the future.
Therefore, after learning that the blood parasite chaos in Sweden was caused by the evil god, he made a prompt decision -
I contacted the Bond Dungeon by writing a letter.
Not long after the letter was sent, the Bound Dungeon quickly sent an invitation for an offline meeting, because the matter concerning the occult blood parasites could not be fully explained in the letter in a short time.
Unexpectedly, when they met, Gong Qiying discovered that the city lord actually had a normal human appearance, not at all like a slime, red dragon or other alien appearances. She looked like an ordinary young woman that could be seen everywhere on the street.
"Thank you, Lord Godwin. You are the third person willing to help me." The Lord of the Bound Dungeon - Youlesa expressed her gratitude, looking quite honest.
"The third one?" Gong Qiying was a little surprised. He thought the city lords would be very active.
"The first is Red Fang, the second is White Blood, both of them provided assistance before I even started."
You Leisha sighed, it was a pity that she still disappointed the previous two city lords.
Gong Qiying didn't know any techniques to comfort a girl, so he put on a businesslike look and asked:
"Tell me about the situation with the occult blood parasite and why the operation failed."
The person on the other end seemed to like this straightforward way of speaking and told everything in detail.
"The blood-lurking parasite is a parasitic monster that once caused the destruction of several ancient kingdoms. Its characteristics are strong reproductive ability, immortality, concealment, and the ability to control the host's mind."
"They only have the intelligence of monsters, but they can distort the host's mind and make them think like parasites."
"These parasites can be spread through body fluids. The most notable feature is that they can merge with the blood of the host, with no means of separation. The host will be controlled by the parasites and become a mindless puppet. They may also mutate. Groups of occult blood parasites have a chance to give birth to stronger individuals, which is very scary."
"They tend to parasitize hosts with good blood quality. The better the blood quality of the host, the stronger they will become. Their immortality makes them difficult to kill. If a densely populated area is infected, it is only a matter of time before the insect king appears."
You Leisha rubbed her brows and said with a headache:
"Even if they kill their host, the parasites can still escape with the blood and survive for several days, which is enough time for them to find a new host."
"The solution I have come up with is to use monsters with better blood quality than humans to attract the parasites of latent blood, and induce them to parasitize the monsters in the dungeon. Once we enter the dungeon, everything will be fine. For this, Red Fang and White Blood both gave me dragon blood and vampire blood that are better than humans."
Gong Qiying listened and nodded. This was indeed a good idea. If it were him, he would probably do the same. After all, this method can also be combined with the fact that the escaping sealed object will be attracted to the dungeon.
So, why did it fail?
"It happened very suddenly."
You Leisha looked puzzled.
"For some reason, these blood-lurking parasites are no longer interested in blood other than human blood. No matter how powerful creatures I throw at them to persuade them to come, they are not interested and just keep jumping on humans."
Ah, this might be the work of the evil god.
Gong Qiying told Youlesa the series of events surrounding the disappearance of the Faint Star, after which the latter fell into a brief silence.
"So that's what's going on." She gritted her teeth and said, "This thing called the Evil God is completely a cancer in the world!"
Her tone revealed complete disgust, the hatred was basically engraved in her bones, and her pretty face was distorted.
"Sorry to make you laugh." She quickly recovered and explained, "I died as a result of a cult sacrifice, and then I became the dungeon lord."
That's not surprising.
Gong Qiying stroked his beardless chin and thought quietly. What could he do about this matter?
The occult blood parasite may have become interested only in human blood under the influence of the evil spirit.
He suddenly raised his head and asked, "Do you have a living parasite now?"
You Leisha nodded and took out a transparent box out of thin air. In the box, parasites like thin red lines were swimming quietly.
"What do you want to do?" she asked.
"Verify the conjecture."
Gong Qiying created a ball of dark crimson blood out of thin air and placed it in front of the parasite.
The parasite had no interest at all and didn't even look this way.
"Then let's add a little more ingredients and see."
He conjured up another ball of bright red human blood and merged the two balls of blood together.
“Huh!”
The parasite in Youlesa's hand suddenly became agitated and rammed the box violently, almost causing her to drop it to the ground.
"What's going on?" She looked at Gong Qiying in surprise. "I've never seen them so excited. What kind of blood is this?"
“Exclusive recipe.”
Gong Qiying looked at the parasite and the blood in his hand, and gradually an idea came to his mind. He said to You Leisha:
"Give me the authority over the Red German Underground City."
"ah?"
"I'll take care of it."
