After the Battle, the Beginning of Magic!

The Frog Head finally appeared as it had hoped.

Although it is in the form of ashes.

People watched helplessly as his carbonized body fell to the ground, half of his body turning into dust.

As for why it was only half a body, it's because the other half turned into fertilizer in the Verdant Dungeon before it even had a chance to appear in front of everyone.

"What's going on?" Mi La jumped back, coughing incessantly from the dust. "That ugly guy died in the dungeon?"

The Frog Head died in the dungeon, doesn't that mean...?

Is there a monster or item in the Verdant Dungeon that could kill him?

No one knows how much strength Frog Head still retained when he broke into the dungeon, but his swift movements didn't seem weak at all; he must have maintained at least 50-60% of his strength.

The members of the New Strategy Team exchanged glances, all of them looking confused.

They didn't notice any powerful monsters while they were doing their strategy here. Could it be that there are special mechanics or difficult trigger conditions?

So everyone looked at the local lord.

Lord Spring Sun City was a beat slow to react, only realizing what was happening when everyone was staring at him. He belatedly said, "The dungeon turned the despicable demons to ashes?"

As expected of a nobleman, he still knows how to choose his words even at a time like this. No one even needs to ask him anything; just by looking at his surprised expression, it's clear that he knows nothing about the Verdant Dungeon.

The air was silent for a moment, then a crow-like bird flew across the sky, and when it cawed, the guards of Spring Sun City were the first to cheer.

"Whoa! The demons are dead!"

No one was more excited than them. The death of the demon leader who was the instigator meant that they didn't have to fight anymore. That was great!

The deafening cheers naturally reached the residents of Spring Sun City who had dared to venture out of the city to investigate, and Spring Sun City joined in the cheers.

They had only just figured out what was going on—the demons were lurking in Spring Sun City causing chaos, and today they seemed to be planning a big attack, but they were all wiped out by the "army" that suddenly appeared riding giant wolves. The scale of the destruction caused by the demons in the city was not even comparable to the stampede that occurred when people were fleeing for their lives.

If the Farron Guard had intervened to turn the tide when the demons were causing even greater destruction, the effect would likely have been even better.

But the survivors of Val City chose to become the Farron Guard not only for revenge, but also to prevent the tragedy that befell them from befalling others.

They were probably the ones with the most complicated feelings at the scene.

The Farron Guard were speechless as they watched the Frog Head being blown away by the wind and blend into nature.

They had been holding back their energy, and the fighting spirit they had just regained in Spring Sun City hadn't even had a chance to be satisfied.

Seeing this, Da Er had no choice but to appease the crowd, since they would definitely encounter new demons in the future, and their bloodlust would certainly be satisfied.

If you really can't find them in the mainland, once you have the strength and your team has grown to a certain size, you can venture into the western part of the kingdom, which borders the Demon Continent, and you're guaranteed to have a good time killing.

That night, Spring Sun City quickly began cleanup work, only to be surprised to find that the cleanup was woefully inadequate.

The demons were defeated before they could cause widespread destruction. All the lord could do was treat the wounded, comfort those whose relatives had been transformed into demons, and draft a report to the kingdom's central government.

After all this was done, the lord even had time to hold a banquet to thank the Farron Guard who had come from afar to provide support.

Da Er was about to decline, but Lu Lu Wo grabbed his arm and laughed:

"After a great battle, shouldn't the heroes have a feast filled with fine wine and songs, just like the Valhalla in barbarian legends, where there are endless banquets, inexhaustible meat, endless wine, and endless feasts?"

She paused for a moment, then spat out, realizing she had almost said something, "Crude barbarians."

Da Er laughed for a moment, and then laughed even more with everyone at the banquet.

Indeed, as Lu Lu Wo said, a feast should follow the battle, especially since this battle was a long-awaited revenge for the Farron Guard.

The desire for revenge will not disappear; it will only become calmer and more composed because of the previous venting, and at least it won't be on your face every day.

Oh, by the way, riding a giant wolf with the Farron Guard was a fearless writer, the same Charlie from before, or perhaps it would be more appropriate to call him a reporter now?

He recorded what happened in Spring Sun City using Image Stone and words. No embellishment was needed; simply presenting it to the world as it was would be excellent material for a legend.

What happened tonight is enough to make the participants famous!

The banquet's songs and laughter lasted all night long until dawn. At that time, another group of mercenaries, led by the Bull Horn Helmet mercenary Si Tan, arrived in Spring Sun City to support Da Er.

Upon learning that the incident had been perfectly resolved, he fell into a long silence before turning and leaving with his mercenaries.

Compared to the bustling Spring Sun City, Hai Nisi in the Verdant Dungeon seemed rather lonely, but she has now found something to do.

"Your Excellency Dungeon Lord, thank you for your timely assistance. I, Hai Nisi, in the name of the Duke's daughter... oh no, that sounds too condescending!"

She found herself something to do for fun—writing thank-you notes.

She threw letter after letter on the ground, either because she disliked the wording or thought the handwriting was too ugly; in short, she wrote many letters.

The Zane Dungeon is now like a prince charming in her eyes, and those wicked trap designs have become a special hobby of good people.

Unfortunately, just when Hai Nisi finally managed to write a letter with elegant yet playful handwriting, solemn wording, and a faint fragrance of herself, using a quill pen almost as big as herself, the most troublesome thing happened.

"There's no way to send the letter out!"

She was quite frustrated and in the end, she could only hang it in the most conspicuous place in the city lord's room.

"Since the other party can give me gifts, I might be able to do the same in the future."

Hai Nisi pondered for a long time, her will to survive growing stronger.

She suddenly realized that she couldn't just die before delivering the letter of thanks to the Dungeon Lord.

Wouldn't that make her seem very rude?

In the days that followed, the Verdant Dungeon underwent another strange change, and due to the demon attack, it received considerable attention.

People wanted to come in and find out what had stolen the head of the Farron Guard.

However, after entering, I found that Verdant Dungeon was such a beautiful place.

This place has returned to its former underground city state, and the scenery is even more beautiful than before.

Everyone who enters here is awestruck by the vibrant life of the vast sunflower fields, and the fragrance of violets makes people unconsciously relax. The monsters are just weak Tree Sprite and the like; rather than attacking humans, they seem to be looking for trouble.

Suddenly this place has turned into a beautiful big garden?

After returning to its original form, Verdant Dungeon finally stabilized its current basic situation, going from being on the verge of death to struggling to make ends meet.

Some of the people who had previously gone to the Zane Dungeon have returned, as the difficulty there forced them to give up. Fortunately, Cangyin has turned back into a normal player, so we should all stay here since we're all noobs.

There are also rumors that cherry- and chili-shaped monsters capable of instantly killing people can be found in the Verdant Dungeon, which has attracted many people to investigate.

But only a few people were able to catch a glimpse of its appearance before turning to ashes with a "BOOM".

Many people couldn't find these two items at all, and as the story spread, Cherry Bomb and Hot Chili became Urban Legend, with all sorts of rumors circulating, such as couples who confessed their love during Cherry Bomb explosion would stay together forever.

Well, although it's outrageous, it's all good for Hai Nisi. The more people come, the longer she'll live.

At least for the foreseeable future, she won't have to worry about surviving.

As for whether she can reach a point where she can personally hand the letter of thanks to Gong Qiying, that depends on her fate.

The Farron Guard, the New Strategy Team, Hai Nisi are the obvious beneficiaries so far.

The hidden beneficiary is naturally the Zane Dungeon.

The reason is self-evident; one sentence suffices:

"The strength of the Farron Guard all comes from the Zane Dungeon!"

It goes without saying what kind of impact this statement will have. It will simply elicit gasps of surprise, envy, and admiration from people, who will then ambitiously enter the Zane Dungeon in search of opportunities to become stronger. That's all.

Taking advantage of the actions of the Farron Guard, Earl Ka Rong used various means to further increase their fame, making the name "Farron" known to everyone.

Thanks to them, toys featuring the same weapons Farron Undead Legion were once sold out and are still in high demand.

It is said that the design team behind the toy is considering a process known as "plastic theft" on Earth in order to save costs and increase production speed.

Information about the word "Fran" is everywhere, and there's even a trend of over-marketing, but that's okay. As long as there's even one person who hasn't heard of it, we'll promote it to the extreme.

But amidst this wave, there are also those who have little interest in these things.

For example, there are the "food hunters" who travel back and forth to the Gourmet Area every day to gather ingredients, the Bloodstone miners whose numbers are gradually decreasing, the "bricklayers" who farm resources in the renewable dungeon, and so on.

Sword Saint Gapar who spends every day working for the Tear Drop Larva.

I can't get it at all. Does this Tear Drop Larva even exist? Or does it only appear once?

Just when Jia Paer was about to give up, news spread that a team of Silver Rank adventurers had defeated the Death Rite Bird and obtained Tear Drop Larva.

Damn you, Goddess of Luck! Why doesn't this kind of good thing happen to me?

When he finally found the lucky adventurer team and wanted to buy the Tear Drop Larva, he discovered that the Tear Drop Larva could only be used by the person who obtained it; it was a limited-time item.

"Hateful!"

To this day, Jia Paer can only use one spell: the [Carian Greatsword].

He was even embarrassed to use this simple and unadorned magic.

It can be considered a gain, at least it wasn't a complete loss. Originally, he had other things to do when he came out of seclusion this time. His initial plan was to stay with Sain for a week or two and then leave, but in the blink of an eye, almost a month has passed.

Since it's already been dragged on for so long, it doesn't matter if it's delayed a little longer. That matter isn't urgent.

Jia Paer also entered the dungeon today. He changed his monster-hunting route. Instead of wasting time on the Tear Drop Larva that he didn't know when they would appear, he decided to farm the Endless Reincarnation (Roguelike).

After all, the magic of the Carian Greatsword was given to him by the Endless Cycle.

After passing through the Firelink Shrine and heading towards the entrance to the burial area, you will pass an elevator.

Jia Paer walked over, but after a while he walked back backwards.

"Wait, wasn't this place originally empty?"

The elevator, which was previously empty, suddenly has a platform that can be stepped on.

Could it be a trap? Like, what if I step on it and the platform suddenly breaks, causing me to fall and die?

No, this area is still within the boundaries of the Firelink Shrine, so such an absurd thing shouldn't happen here.

Curiosity killed the cat, and so did human nature.

Driven by instinctive curiosity, Jia Paer stepped on the protrusion in the center of the platform. The next instant, the elevator slowly descended, and a faint fluorescent blue light appeared around the platform, creating a fantastical beauty.

The descent was very long, as if it were going deep into the earth, but there was no cold, damp feeling.

"The concentration of magic is increasing."

Jia Paer took a deep breath. The magical energy in the air was several times higher than outside, and people with low resistance might get "drunk".

What will appear below?

I'm getting more and more curious. Could it be a magical creature?

When the elevator stopped, before Jia Paer could even step out, a line of text appeared before him.

[The Raya Lucaria Magic Classroom]

This is a brand new area!

His attention was completely focused on the word "magic".

"Magic Classroom"

Jia Paer chewed on those two words, a glint of light seemingly flickering in his eyes.
