Explosive Success!

The images that appeared before Da Er were very disjointed.

He saw "himself" training hard to become a true member of the Undead Legion, and together with everyone, destroying one abyss after another.

He saw that he had taken away a lot of Element Bottle, which were probably similar to Healing Potion? Sometimes Undead Legion members didn't have enough Element Bottle, they would come to him for more.

He saw that he and the Undead Legion had created many meaningful memories, and as he watched, he couldn't help but become immersed in them.

Before being corrupted by the Abyss, the Undead Legion was so harmonious and friendly.

But why would such a valiant and skilled army suddenly be corrupted by the abyss, to the point that they were killing each other in the Farron Keep?

The answer came quickly, as the flames gradually died down.

Da Er didn't know what time it was or how much time had passed since Lord Gwyn linked the fire, but the flame was getting smaller and smaller, and someone had to step forward to link the fire.

This important task fell to the Farron Undead Legion.

It was only at this moment that Da Er understood what the "Sunlight King" he had heard about at the beginning truly meant.

It originally meant firewood.

The Farron Undead Legion agreed to link the fire. After that, he only saw flames burning before his eyes. He didn't feel the temperature while observing his memories, but he imagined that being burned by the flames would be excruciating, even if the person being burned was a battle-hardened undead army.

Da Er was so engrossed in the awe of the flames that he failed to notice that the flames were much smaller than those when Gwyn linked the fire.

He suddenly had a question.

Since the Undead Legion joined in the linking of the fire, how did they eventually return to Farron Keep?

The answer was not revealed in Hawkwood's memory. In a flash, a stone statue suddenly appeared in front of him.

No, that's an ancient dragon as solid as stone. It's motionless; it might still be alive, or it might have already died.

Looking at Gu Long, he felt that "himself" expressed a sense of longing.

It seems to be... aspiring to become a dragon?

The image cut off, Da Er felt a sudden dizziness as his back hit the ground.

Before he could react, he heard shouts all around him.

"Big Brother is out!"

"Wow, you came out so fast this time! Big brother is amazing!"

"I heard that the people from the guild who entered the Wolf Knight's Painting World haven't come out yet. It seems that Big Brother is still more powerful!"

Looking at the azure sky Firelink Shrine, Da Er blinked blankly.

His mood was the same as when he saw Artorias and the Abyss Lord about to engage in battle in the Painting World, but the image suddenly stopped; he was speechless with a string of complaints.

You'd better let me see what actually happened after the Farron Undead Legion passed the fire!

What happened to Hawkwood after that? Why was he still alive?

And what exactly is the meaning of the dragon that appears at the end?

No matter how his companions called out to him, Da Er remained immersed in the video he had just seen. This time, the immersion was even stronger. Although the experience was quite disjointed, he had practically watched Hawkwood grow step by step, which gave him a stronger sense of identification than Artorias was already at max level from the start.

God, you've got it wrong. I should be Warrior fought alongside the Undead Legion to Execute the Abyss after passing the Wolf Blood Trial, not now.

Wait a minute, I'm also building a new era of Farron Guard to fight against the Abyss (the Demon Race), which seems to be no different from what my predecessors did?

Da Er snapped back to reality and stood up before his companions could shout, "Big Brother's gone mad!"

"So, brother, what's inside?"

The crowd surrounded him, chattering like a flock of birds; they were so excited.

Facing everyone's curious gazes, Da Er took a deep breath and said:

"The secret to becoming stronger is hidden here!"

In a quiet, deserted street in Bede City, inside an ordinary house.

Someone was sitting at a desk deep in thought. In front of him was a blank sheet of paper, and crumpled pieces of paper were scattered on the floor. It was obviously a draft.

"I can't write anything, the deadline is fast approaching."

He grabbed two handfuls of his messy, bird's-nest-like hair, and his stubble was unshaven; it was clear that he was a creator struggling with a lack of inspiration.

His name is Charlie, and he is a writer who mainly makes a living by contributing articles to newspapers and magazines, but recently he has been unable to write anything.

Because of the popularity of the Zane Dungeon, almost everyone started creating works around it. He was a bit slow to react, and by the time he wanted to get a piece of the pie, he found there was nothing left to write about.

He also wanted to write about the Farron Undead Legion, but the topic had been written to the point where there was nothing left to write about, led by Hua Lai Si. He heard that Hua Lai Si had made a fortune with his two books, "Historical Research on Farron Keep Zane Dungeon," and had not only moved to a bigger house but also bought a new carriage, which made Charlie green with envy.

"What else is there to write about? Can the Zane Dungeon please update some other histories soon? I'm running out of money for food."

Charlie frantically bit the pen, but broke it in half. Dejected, he slammed the pen on the table and walked out the door.

Most of the people living on this street are people who are not well-off, and there are also many poor people who come here from other places to find work. Charlie chose to live here because the rent is cheap.

Just then, he suddenly saw a young man walking past him. The man looked familiar and seemed to be a neighbor.

Oh right, I think his name was Klan. I remember he used to be from Val City. It's so pitiful that he went through something like that.

"Um?"

Charlie had a sudden inspiration. He had heard that many survivors of Val City had joined a new organization called the Farron Guard, Klan was no exception. The organization claimed to be carrying on the spirit of the Farron Undead Legion, so maybe they had some undisclosed information about the Undead Legion?

Thinking of this, he went up to him warmly and said, "Hey, Klan, how have you been lately?"

"Mr. Charlie," Klan looked up at the scruffy old man he had only met a few times.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Klan understood the writer's thoughts and said, "Unpublished news? I do have some here, and it's sure to be explosive."

He was referring to the rekindling of the Flame by the Farron Undead Legion, something Da Er had just brought back recently, fresh off the press.

"Really!?" Charlie's face lit up with joy.

"But Mr. Charlie," Klan said with a smile, "What do you intend to exchange it for?"

"I will certainly pay you, but I don't have the money right now. Could you wait until I earn the royalties before paying me?" Charlie said pitifully.

"I see. Then come with me to our Farron Guard base." He was referring to Da Er's farm. "Let's sign a contract, and we'll split the royalties with you. That'll count as your contribution to eliminating the demons."

Charlie hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

He'd take a gamble! If the information he received this time couldn't support him in writing a popular piece, he would give up writing altogether and return to the countryside to grow potatoes!

A few days later, an article titled "Passing the Flame! The Tragic Legend of the Farron Undead Legion!" was published in the Bede Weekly, and its influence can be described in four words:

Huge explosion!

Charlie gained a lot of attention with this exclusive article, which successfully provided him with enough funds to continue writing at home.

Besides receiving a sum of money, the Farron Guard also gained increased popularity due to the repeated mentions of them in the article. This promotional tactic earned Ka Rong's praise; before he even started to promote them, they were already promoting themselves.

So he further fueled the fire, making the article spread even wider.

As the reputation of the Farron Guard rose, they attracted a lot of attention. Suddenly, people with all sorts of ideas came to them, including those who wanted to provide aid, join the organization, or seek cooperation.

Da Er and his team formally incorporated the drawing of "Hawkwood" into their daily training, with remarkable results.

The remnants of the demon race could appear at any time. They were busy training and didn't have the extra energy to deal with the people who came looking for them. In the end, they simply agreed to cooperate with Earl Ka Rong and left those people to the Earl to deal with.

And so, Da Er and the Farron Guard lived fulfilling lives, all in preparation for punishing the demons in the future. Every day, they would select people to enter the Painting World for training, and soon Wesker and the others were already quite skilled in Farran swordsmanship.

Ka Rong and the Bede Family were relentlessly searching for traces of the demons. They might have found them, or they might not. They were waiting for the right opportunity, an opportunity for the Farron Guard to make a name for themselves.

After the New Strategy Team partnered with the Farron Guard, they made speedrunning guides for Farron Keep their top priority. As the area with the most adventurers, there were countless guides available, and they quickly compiled their own guides after consulting them all.

However, they encountered difficulties in defeating the boss, the Farron Undead Legion.

For them, the Undead Legion is both a threat and a threat. They can fight back and even hold out for a while, but once the damage they inflict reaches a certain threshold, the Legion will increase its attack speed, often leaving them no time to react.

To defeat the opponent, you need people with fast reaction speeds and strong enough bodies to keep up with their reaction speed. Only a team of ten such people has a chance of winning.

And this is all predicated on the fact that the Farron Undead Legion only possess the strength they have demonstrated so far.

Lu Lu Wo tried to invite Leon, Da Er, and other elite adventurers to form a team to fight the Undead Legion, but for various reasons, they couldn't gather enough people at the moment.

As a result, the New Strategy Team encountered a bottleneck in the development of the Farron Keep.

As we all know, the best way to deal with a bottleneck is to shift your focus and relax.

After careful consideration, they approached Ka Rong and borrowed his precious flying mount—a griffin.

"Wow, it feels so good to fly!"

Riding on the griffin, with the wind whistling past her ears, Lu Lu Wo her hands and let out an excited shout.

Mi La quickly held her captain down, afraid that she would be blown away by the strong wind.

Griffins are faster than any carriage. Even those domesticated by humans with impure bloodlines still retain their demonic nature, making riding one very risky. Only those with sufficient strength can ride safely.

Looking around, the creatures on the ground were as tiny as trash, while in the distance, a city much smaller Bede City was faintly visible.

The city is surrounded by fields planted with all kinds of vegetables, and the level of greenery is much higher than that of Bedford, making it look very healthy.

This is the destination of the New Strategy Team's trip - Spring Sun City.

They came here to see what the Verdant Dungeon, which boasts a terrain similar to the Zane Dungeon, is all about!

"I'd like to see which is more difficult, this dungeon or the one in Sien!"

Lu Lu Wo's eyes were bright, filled with anticipation for the journey.
