Chapter 557: Underground City, Shocked the Nation!
"Bernard and the Thirty Heroes?"
After a short period of time, Edgar had already obtained recent intelligence from the two soldiers.
“Interesting.”
The news about the Sean Dungeon and the Glory Dungeon has now spread everywhere in the streets and alleys. People will not deliberately hide it. Even if Edgar does not get the answer he wants from the soldiers, he will be able to find out sooner or later.
People are very enthusiastic about this matter. The first thing they say when they meet is "Did you know that the Glory Dungeon has undergone a change, and it can also produce a linkage effect with the Sion Dungeon!"
If the person saying these words was an adventurer, they might just be exchanging information or something like that.
But in fact, among the group who can say these words, there are not too many adventurers. Instead, the largest number are ordinary people passing by in the Warrior Kingdom!
When they talked about this with each other, it felt like they were talking about an old brand company that carried their childhood memories and suddenly launched new products according to the times. To make a vague analogy, it was like White Rabbit Milk Candy suddenly starting to sell lip balm.
People are not telling the stories for any utilitarian purpose; they are simply telling the stories out of curiosity.
Generally, while chatting, they will start reminiscing about their childhood, and finally sigh and lament the changes in life.
This is enough to show the status of the Glory Dungeon in people's hearts. During the spread of this news, many ordinary people who had not paid attention to dungeons recently learned about the Senn Dungeon through it.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Sion Dungeon took advantage of the other party's popularity. To be more precise, it was mutual utilization. Sion attracted adventurers to Glory, and Glory brought Sion fame among ordinary people.
Win-win!
"The Thane Dungeon always brings unexpected actions, but this time it's a bit too restless."
After leaving the two soldiers, Edgar thought about what he had just learned.
There was no emotion in the message from the teacher, he just asked them to find the source of the abnormality. He found it so quickly that he felt a little smug.
"But even if the two dungeons join forces, they can't compare to the years of preparation by our master and apprentice. It will ultimately be just a flash in the pan."
How could a sudden change in the underground city wipe out all their years of hard work?
"But just in case, we still have to go and investigate the situation."
Therefore, Edgar did not go to find Lanler to talk about his research results in the past few days. Instead, he changed into clothes that looked less eye-catching, walked out of the mansion and came to a crowded street.
He first went to the guild where adventurers gathered. As expected, the adventurers were discussing the two dungeons of Sen and Glory. Occasionally someone would talk about the Boulder dungeon, but they only talked about some boring ore mining techniques.
"Everyone in the Adventurer's Guild is discussing this. It's a normal situation. It will calm down in a couple of days."
Edgar walked out of the guild, picked a street far away from the Sean dungeon, and walked into a tavern.
The idle guys who had been drinking in broad daylight were discussing the Glory Dungeon and the newly emerged heroes with a nostalgic look on their faces.
"Why are these drunks talking about the dungeon? Well, never mind. It's still within the acceptable range. Drunk people can talk about anything."
He said he could accept it, but his expression changed. He immediately went to a flower shop where there were crowds of people but it didn't look like an adventurer at all.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard people inside discussing Glory and Sion.
His expression was as if he had eaten a fly, and he immediately ran to a more remote street, but he still heard the topic related to the dungeon.
Run, run again, and keep running.
He kept looking for remote places, and finally ran directly out of the city.
"Have you heard about Sion and the Glory Dungeon?" The young man who was farming looked up and chatted with his companions.
Edgar didn't run this time, or rather, he had nowhere to run.
Be it old men and women or young men and women, it seemed as if the news of the changes in the Glory Dungeon became known to everyone overnight.
"Is this topic so hot?"
This time he couldn't calm down at all. He was totally unprepared for this situation and was deeply shocked by it.
The topic of conversation on the streets is all about the dungeon! ?
Although he was also born in the Warrior Country, he had no interest in anything in the outside world because he had been learning magic with Unka since he was a child. Naturally, he could not understand the feelings of most people in the Warrior Country.
"Dad, have you heard that you can now transform into a hero in person in the Glory Dungeon? I remember you always said that your favorite hero is the Righteous Iron Man."
"There's such a thing? Then I must go and experience it!"
"Can you still break into the dungeon at your age? Your son will set off to the dungeon to become the [Emperor Warrior] tomorrow~"
"Don't underestimate my persistence in pursuing my childhood dream!"
The conversation between a father and son on the street reached Edgar's ears, causing his body to instantly stiffen.
For the people of the Warrior Land, transforming into a hero might just mean having the chance to transform into the Giant of Light, the Card Face, the Magnetic Field Master, or some other childhood hero.
Even if you have to use all your strength to climb out of the coffin, you have to give it a try!
This sudden change in the Glory Dungeon made those who had longed for heroes as happy as if it were a holiday.
But when Edgar saw this joyful scene, he shuddered suddenly. Even though the sun was high in the sky, he felt cold all over and broke out in a sweat.
What he cared about was not how happy people were when they discussed heroes, but that they would more or less mention two words he didn't want to hear in their discussions - "combat skills".
This scene was like going back to his childhood!
At that time, warrior reform had not yet appeared. People like him who could hardly learn combat skills and had a weak body and only magic as their strong point were the object of ridicule!
Since he was a child, he felt inferior because he could not learn combat skills. In his eyes, although the people around him said nothing, he could keenly perceive the "sarcastic" looks cast at him by others, and he felt that every sigh from his relatives was because of him.
Therefore, Edgar is a staunch supporter of warrior reform and the supremacy of pure magic!
That's why he couldn't even accept the combat-technical pyroxene magic gravel!
"We can't let this situation continue!"
He turned around and walked back in a hurry. He originally thought that the impact caused by the Glory Dungeon would be somewhat troublesome, but after a field investigation, he realized that it would be such a big impact as it is now.
We must not let this continue! For his sake and for people like him!
"We have to go find His Highness Lanle right away! We also have to report to the teacher!"
Since the two dungeons have brought about a trend of revival of combat skills, opposing forces will naturally emerge.
Now is the time.
At the same time, the Golden Lion Chamber of Commerce headquarters in Black Rock City was in chaos.
"Where on earth has Mr. Basque gone? A big business has come to us. If we don't hurry up, it will be too late!"
"The Mad Dragon has reappeared at the border and caused great damage. Crops and other things have suffered serious blows. A large number of material demand lists have been sent to the border. If we don't grab this business, we will fall behind other chambers of commerce!"
Facing this anxious businessman, the staff at the headquarters just sighed helplessly:
"If you have anything to say, go find our Chamber of Commerce's deputy. Mr. Tepi Basque hasn't shown up at the Chamber of Commerce for a long time."
"What? Why?" the businessman asked in confusion.
"He's been obsessed with Thirty Heroes lately."
In the Glory Dungeon, there is the Thirty Heroes area.
"I told you, you can't beat me."
Tepi, who had transformed into a hero, raised his chin towards the adventurer opposite him and said, "How many times have you challenged me? I'm tired of it."
"I don't believe that I can't beat you! How about we make a bet?" said the adventurer on the opposite side angrily. He now looked like an e-sports player who was frustrated and broken after being beaten by his opponent.
Tepi smiled, thinking he had finally taken the bait, and said nonchalantly, "Well, how about the bet being the hound pace you have? That's the only thing of value on you."
"Hound pace? This."
"Why, you were so confident about making a bet just now, but now you're scared?"
"Who's scared? What's your bet?"
"How about my Chamber of Commerce's shares?"
Under the temptation of huge benefits, the adventurer hesitated for a moment and then agreed. It was really just a moment of hesitation.
The soldiers on both sides seemed to have calculated the time and rushed out just when the fight was established. The atmosphere on the battlefield suddenly became heated, and Tepi and the adventurers also started fighting.
"How is that possible? I can't hit him at all!"
Every attack from the adventurer was dodged by Tepi, but he was always hit by the opponent, even using the hound step!
It seems that Tepi has learned a lot of fighting skills during this period of time, and has also undergone hard training. He can even use the Vacuum Slash to firmly catch the adventurer's backswing when using the Hound Step!
This is not something that can be achieved through ordinary exercise.
If it were just these, the adventurer would not be angry. What made him lose control of his emotions the most was that every time he was about to hit Tepi, the opponent would drill under the wizard tower!
If he was hit by the attack magic released by the Mage Tower, half of his life would be gone, but this guy Tepi "shamelessly" went in to find a chance to recover, and then came out to fight after he had rested!
What's even more abominable is that Tepi actually knows the appearance and behavior patterns of monsters in the forest next to the wizard's tower, and can deliberately lead adventurers to the monsters!
Not to mention pretending to escape and then suddenly turning back to attack, bypassing the mage tower to cut off the adventurer's line of troops, etc.
After one battle, Tepi has done more tricks than the adventurer has done in his entire life.
"I, I lost"
At the end of the game, the adventurer knelt on the ground helplessly, with the base camp gradually collapsing behind him. He was powerless to save the situation.
"I'll take the hound pace then."
Tepi accepted the dagger carrying the Greyhound's steps with a smile, and finally obtained the fighting skill he had been longing for.
He gripped the dagger tightly and looked into the distance, which was the direction of the Sean Dungeon.
These days he has been constantly training himself, doing the exercises needed to become stronger in a way that is almost like self-mutilation, and he has also been actively learning all the heroic combat skills in the Glory Dungeon. Now he has reached an unprecedented peak of strength, and will become even stronger in the future.
As for why he did this, it all came from a premonition that appeared in his mind not long ago.
"I have a hunch."
He stared at the direction of the Thane Underground City and muttered to himself:
"The Thane Dungeon may soon see new changes, and in this change..."
"Leon is likely to appear in front of me again!"
