Chapter 558: The Old People Who Have Become Older
"Boss, I heard that Luluwo and the others have already set off for the Warrior Country. Should we go over there as well?"
The long-lost Kingdom of Anor, the underground city of Sen, and the town in front of the academy of Lienia of the Lake.
The still petite member of the strategy team, Malu, was lying casually on the broken bricks and stones, stretching lazily, just like a cat stretching its body.
Although the town in front of the academy has now been transformed by adventurers into a thriving town with a style completely different from the surrounding areas, some people have preserved some of the original buildings so that people can realize that they are living in a dungeon. For example, where Maru is lying now is the original ruins.
"Maluo, I don't think you look like you want to travel a long distance to another country."
Drew, the magician from the strategy team, spoke slowly. His gray beard combined with his melodious tone of voice gave him a unique kind of kindness.
"Everyone is doing it, so we should follow suit." Tel, the team's tank, rolled in the puddles outside the town. It was cool and comfortable.
"Yeah, I'm too lazy to run around. Life is so good now." Malu's voice became lower and lower, and finally she began to snore and actually fell asleep under the sunshine.
What's going on? Why have all the members of the famous strategy team suddenly become insignificant after not seeing them for a while? ?
Infected by the atmosphere, Tel gradually fell asleep, leaving Drew yawning and looking at the path outside the town in front of the college, as if he was waiting for something.
However, as he got older he could no longer withstand the nightmare attacks, and he eventually fell asleep slowly with his head lowered.
The warm sun at noon was offset by the mist lingering in Lake Lienia, eliminating both the heat and the cold. This temperature was just right for a sweet lunch break.
The situation of the strategy group is not an isolated case. In fact, looking at the entire Sen Dungeon, adventurers have found the most suitable place for their lunch break and each of them embraces sleep comfortably.
The adventurers from the Warrior Kingdom are still fighting for their lives, but the adventurers from the Kingdom of Anor have become salted fish in the sun.
The years are quiet and good. The years are quiet and good.
After an unknown amount of time, footsteps were heard from the path where the members of the strategy team were watching. Leon, whose golden hair shone brighter in the sun, walked over with a hint of excitement on his face.
"Maloo, Drew, Tel, I found it—"
As soon as he shouted, he saw that everyone was sleeping soundly. He immediately covered his mouth, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He couldn't help but slow down his steps and slowly walked to sit next to his companions.
He was not sleepy at all. He just took out a rolled-up hand-drawn map from his waist bag. On it was the map of Lake Lienia. After injecting magic power, he could see symbols with various meanings light up on the map.
And on this map, there is a road extending outward that he specially marked with red paint.
This extra marked trail is what makes Leon so excited - it's a trail that no one has ever found!
The adventurers of the Kingdom of Anor have now completely adapted to the Thane Dungeon, to the point that they have evolved their own unique rhythm of life and work around it.
Some people live a life of gathering at home, in the food area, and at the market. Some people wait for commissions from the commission board every day to receive various commissions related to the dungeon. Some people have bought properties in the safe areas of Lake Lienia and have become like the natives. Some people are happy to draw talismans in the early areas such as the Fran Fortress and the Road of Living Sacrifices to help novices.
This is the fate of every underground city that suddenly breaks into people's lives, that is, it becomes a part of people's daily life.
Generally speaking, at this point, even if the dungeon stops any changes (updates), it can still survive for a long time, because people have turned the dungeon into their own lives. Unless all people die, the dungeon will not lack a source of spiritual power.
This is what the current Sen Dungeon looks like.
But in this situation, there will definitely be a group of people who will feel lonely, referring to the frontier strategy team whose life goal is to constantly explore new areas and new things.
Under normal circumstances, there are two situations for the former strategy group of the settled dungeon. One is to become an ordinary adventurer team and integrate into the daily life of the dungeon, and the other is to leave the Sen dungeon to look for new challenges.
But in the Thane dungeon, normalcy has changed.
Because of the arrival of the Warrior Kingdom delegation, a part of the frontier strategy team was hired by Ainz III to exchange experiences with the delegation. Suddenly, they were transformed from freelancers into civil servants with a regular position. Their entire day's task was to lead the delegation to run around in the Senn dungeon.
According to what Ainz III had privately told them, "Treat these delegations as the demons," they took the delegations into all kinds of traps all day long and had a lot of fun.
There were even people in charge who came to Leon privately, hoping that he could transform himself into an invader when the delegation entered the dungeon and teach them a lesson.
Naturally, the upright Leon firmly rejected such immoral things!
However, he did give them his improved poop pot and stink bomb formula.
Although the number of strategy groups has decreased, the remaining people are still enthusiastically running at the forefront of development. As for the reason, of course, it is because everyone agrees that there are still areas in the Sen Dungeon that have not been explored!
Although the focus of work was placed on the Warrior Kingdom, Gong Qiying would occasionally make some changes to the old areas of the Kingdom of Anor, and occasionally add some different types of painting worlds to stimulate the passion of adventurers. Leon and his friends were among those who were mobilized.
A piece of news that came not long ago further strengthened his belief that there must be undeveloped areas in the Senn dungeon.
That was the news from an adventure team that had communicated with him but was in the Warrior Kingdom. It was said that in the new area "Gailed" opened up in the Sen Dungeon, they discovered a magic town called Selia, and all the enemies inside were magicians.
Moreover, their attire is almost exactly the same as that of the magicians at the Rhea Lukalia School of Magic!
From the various details discovered during the exploration, it can be inferred that Lake Lienia must have a deep and close connection with new areas of the Thane dungeon such as Nimgefor and Gaileed.
Therefore, based on the nature of the Sean Dungeon, Leon deduced that Lake Lienia would most likely be connected to the new area. At that time, perhaps they would be able to travel freely between the old and new areas. But now there is no connection, perhaps because no one has found the connecting road or the Sean Dungeon has not yet opened this function.
With this idea in mind, Leon mobilized the people he knew to explore the huge Lake Lienia. He did not rush directly from the outside world to the Warrior Kingdom like Luluwo's Sky Raiders Group did.
Unexpectedly, during this carpet search by the adventurers, several small areas that had never been seen before were discovered, such as some caves or underground cemeteries. Unfortunately, these were not the roads leading to the new areas.
Leon almost gave up hope, but he still tried to look for it according to the clues provided by other adventurers.
As a result, he found the road that he now marked in red on the map.
Excited, he immediately decided to come back to find Malu and the others who were already lying down, and they all went to check out the new road while it was still warm.
"Huh? Did you really find it?"
After a while, Malu, who was woken up by Leon poking her in the face, showed an expression of disbelief.
However, there was no sign of happiness on her face, only sadness and helplessness after being interrupted while slacking off.
"Okay, okay, let's go and have a look."
"Everyone cheer up, we are the strategy team!"
Leon wanted to say something encouraging, but when he looked around, everyone looked like a dried-up fish.
He didn't know what to say. It seemed that no matter how powerful his words were, they couldn't inject some water into the salted fish and make them active again.
"Damn it, being too idle is really bad for one's mental state!" He clenched his fists and thought with regret.
"But, Boss, you're taking so much trouble to find the road, are you planning to explore the new area?" Malu yawned and asked curiously, "I heard that the new area is very large. If we really go there, I guess we'll be busy until the New Year."
No one is short of money now. If you want, you can enjoy the rewards from the Kingdom of Anor as a hero in fighting the Black Hawk Rebellion. You can get some money every month. If you live a low-key life, you can live a lifetime and no longer need to rely on the dungeon for a living.
No, it should be that there is no need to rely on the dungeon to make money anymore. Meals still have to be eaten in the food area. Everyone's taste buds have been successfully trained to the shape of Sion.
"As for me, I'm not actually trying to explore a new area. I just have a hunch."
Leon looked up at the sky, in the direction of the Warrior Country.
"I have a feeling that my father seems to be waiting for me over there. He has become stronger again, much stronger than before!"
When he said this, his tone involuntarily revealed a fighting spirit, and in his opinion, this was a very exciting thing.
However, for others
Malu, Drew, Tel:
"Do you and your father have some kind of miraculous telepathy in your blood?" Malu complained silently.
"From a magical point of view, this is not impossible." Drew had a thoughtful look on his face.
"Terrible." Tel shrank his neck.
Therefore, in order to fulfill Leon's premonition, the members of the strategy team had to struggle to shake off their sleepiness and head towards the newly opened road.
Perhaps before long, they will be able to discover a path to new areas.
Then it will bring a new wave of social instability to the Warrior Kingdom.
————————————
Unlike the Kingdom of Anor where everyone lives a peaceful life, a fierce struggle is about to break out within the Warrior Kingdom.
Although the current situation seems peaceful, there are undercurrents in the eyes of a few people.
For example, Yufei has noticed something now.
"Is it another empty cave? Or did he run away?"
On the outskirts of Blackrock City, Yufei, Vann and the soldiers following them were still searching for traces of the demons. This had apparently become their main task in recent days.
A soldier with fire protection magic crawled out of a dark cave burned by flames, spread his hands and shook his head, indicating that there was nothing underneath.
Yuffie frowned, and Vann considerately pulled the soldier up.
"This is the fourth time we have found an empty cave. The other party must have discovered that we are chasing him, so he deliberately left so many false clues."
Ever since Dorian escaped from her men that day, she has been tracking him down. She has to find out why Dorian's body is burning with flames. That is obviously not what a normal demon should look like.
As long as they follow the passage dug underground by the other party when they escaped, they can easily find the first cave. However, there is nothing inside and all the clues have been burned.
Later, with the help of some magicians who were good at tracking magic, the group found some clues. However, they had found nothing after tracing all the way until now, and everyone gradually came to their senses.
"That guy used an obvious fake clue to hide the real hiding place. We were all misled!"
The demons they want to capture this time are extremely intelligent, completely different from those brainless creatures who only know how to destroy. This makes Youfei feel challenging and also makes her determined to capture them.
Since Dorian is so cunning and can be seen as a native demon at first glance, then the demons wandering around the cities are most likely those he created using the fallen demon eggs!
Moreover, the fingerprints never appeared again after the hunt for Dorian began. Based on the above, it is easy for people to infer a fact:
The demon who used the fallen demon eggs to transform humans and left fingerprints was Dorian!
This undoubtedly increased the degree of danger of this guy in people's minds. After learning about this, Count Gerhard has borrowed magicians with the ability to detect demons from other cities, and is preparing to lay a magic formation in Black Stone City and its surrounding areas that can detect demons in all aspects.
Prince Lanler also generously lent his bodyguards to follow Youfei, which was enough to show how much he valued Youfei.
However, the fact is that two more intelligent demons were captured in the past few days, but there was no sign of Dorian.
"It's getting late. Do we want to continue today?" Fann asked, looking at the sky.
"Go on, the demons are more active at night," Youfei stared at him and said, "Didn't I tell you not to follow me? What you need most now is to train in the dungeon and kill Greg as soon as possible."
"Capturing demons is also a form of training." Vann shook his head and said sincerely. The sincerity radiating from his face was so shining that people couldn't open their eyes.
"you"
Yu Fei didn't know what to say. If she didn't know that Fann was a sister-con, she would probably think that this boy was interested in her.
But in fact, there is only one reason why Vann did not go to attack Greg:
"That guy has become completely incomprehensible to me." He muttered softly, and Yufei didn't hear it clearly at all.
So many days have passed, and many people have arrived at Stonewell City, and gradually some people are able to see Greg.
Then it becomes the opponent's limb grafting material.
Not long ago, Vann went to see Greg, and found that he had completely turned into a stitched monster. He couldn't even describe what he saw that day, but he couldn't eat meat for several days.
He really didn't want to fight that thing alone, so he had to take Yu Fei with him.
"By the way, are there more and more people learning combat skills in the city recently?" Fann suddenly said.
"Yes, it has indeed increased. The atmosphere is like going back many years."
There was no happiness on Youfei's face, but rather it looked more solemn.
She knew that this brief "revival" of fighting skills might lead to a more fierce counterattack from some people. If she couldn't resist, she might not be able to survive the future with fighting skills.
I'm afraid that the opponents will take action in the next two days.
After searching the suburbs for a while but still to no avail, after it became completely dark, the group finally returned to the city.
"I'll go find Isa first. She should be back from the dungeon." Fann said goodbye to Yufei and turned to find his sister, his steps becoming a little lighter.
"It's really nice to have a sister."
Yu Fei watched him leave, but she had nowhere to go, so she wandered around the city.
However, once she entered the busy street, she suddenly felt the change in atmosphere, and there were noisy sounds coming from not far away.
"The magic encyclopedia compiled by the great court magic sage Master Yuenka is about to be released. All citizens can enjoy the benefits brought by this god-like miracle!"
"As a prelude to the miracle, I will bring you the master's latest research results!"
"That's a wonderful technique of using fighting spirit to perform magic!"
Edgar and several magicians stood on the platform and announced loudly to the gathered crowd.
The reformists' counterattack came so swiftly.
And what was thrown out was also a king bomb!
