New Version PV
"The Most Handsome Monster of the Year in the Zane Dungeon?"
"That's only right Artorias."
"Giving the title of the Farron Undead Legion's is well-deserved."
"The Full Moon Queen's Mimic Tear is also an option."
"It's perfectly acceptable for the Crucible Knight to take it."
"What the hell is that cursed Curse Frog?!"
Looking at the Curse Frog, who was voted the most handsome monster of the year in the Zane Dungeon, in the Bede Weekly, Da Er couldn't help but swear.
This unusual behavior even drew surprised glances from the Farron Guard who were training nearby.
"Cough cough."
He used a cough to cover up his embarrassment, crumpled up the Bede Weekly, threw it in the trash, and vowed never to buy such garbage again.
The weather is perfect right now, with clear skies and the sun hanging in the sky.
Da Er squinted at the sun and couldn't help but recall the same clear weather when Jia Paer returned from the border and secretly met with him to let him know he was safe.
He almost burst into tears when he saw his teacher return safely.
Two weeks have passed since the great Sword Saint Gapar Execute the despicable and evil Demon King Bloodline Kang Luode.
Fourteen days is neither a long nor a short time, and a lot has happened in Bede City during this period.
Earl Ka Rong has launched a plan to expand the Bede City. The city's current size can no longer accommodate the increasing number of adventurers, and it must be expanded in time to meet the needs of all parties. Therefore, he is recruiting a large number of Construction Magician.
The Food Street has expanded further, and the previous food competitions showcased high-end ingredients that many people had never seen before, inspiring people to explore the Gourmet Area more deeply.
To date, with the joint support of the Adventurers' Guild and the Chef Union, adventurers who call themselves "Gourmet Hunters" and are dedicated to exploring the Gourmet Area have been exceptionally active.
Rare ingredients, special effects, and even legendary cooking utensils are gradually being discovered. No matter what difficulties and obstacles are encountered during the exploration, as long as adventurers can eat the "Glowing Dish" made with high-quality ingredients, they will regain their spirits and be full of energy.
Faced with all sorts of suffocating life pressures, some people have turned to food as a source of hope, becoming loyal supporters of the Gourmet Area in the Zane Dungeon.
The business around the Zane Dungeon of the Bede Family continues to thrive, and they've even launched a blind box business at the suggestion of some unknown genius.
The small wooden box randomly contains statues of the monsters of Sion, as well as hidden versions of Artorias and Topus. This product sold out as soon as it was launched, and related legendary novels are also being prepared in full swing.
The Bede Family has completely taken on the shape of Thane.
Because the blind box business is so popular, some people who just can't get the rare items have started making up stories about blind boxes, which has led to a joke:
"The items in blind boxes are put in by people with their eyes open."
Incidentally, in order to obtain the Artorias statue, Da Er even used the money he had saved to buy extra meat for the wolf pack one day, resulting in him being ignored by the wolf pack for several days.
Later, he met Si Telan, who had put the elves' food money into the box to try and win the Topus statue. The two of them learned their lesson and never touched blind boxes again.
The Bede Family also allocates a portion of the profits from selling merchandise to subsidize adventurers, offering discounts on Teleportation Crystal, rewards for adventurers who make new discoveries, and so on, thus boosting people's enthusiasm for exploring dungeons.
It can be said that he didn't forget where the money came from after he made Earl, and it can be said that he was a very sensible Ka Rong.
However, by now, apart from Lake Liurnia, the other areas of the Zane Dungeon have been largely explored, making it difficult to discover anything new.
The Firelink Shrine, where the heroes who lit the fire set off, is now also a resting place for adventurers after fierce battles. Relaxing around a campfire while gazing at the blue sky and white clouds has become a shared memory for this generation of adventurers. They will probably never forget it.
The Forest Area is home to various Elite Monsters. Hunting them and obtaining materials allows you to find the Felyne blacksmith to craft weapons, each with irresistible mechanics. The boss, the Furious Rajang, often provides adventurers with spectacular territorial battles, gradually increasing its popularity.
The Great Tomb area has become an endless cycle initiator; some Roguelike feel restless if they don't hunt one every day. Its leader, the Death Rite Bird, has become the least noticeable boss in the Zane Dungeon.
The Gourmet Area, the most popular spot, has recently been the subject of a "Life Menu," a ritual practiced by ancient gourmets, which has sparked a wave of imitations among modern people. Legendary cooking utensils, starting with the Eternal Spirit Blade, have also attracted hefty rewards from numerous gourmets. Among these, the adorable Pokémon are poised to become the next hottest monster.
Finally, there's Farron Keep. After the Farron Guard secured the Undead Legion's "first clear," this area experienced a resurgence. As the first group to leave a deep impression on adventurers, the Undead Legion remains popular in Bede City.
The underground path that appears after defeating the First Phase Farron Undead Legion —regardless of whether they have completed the Dynamic Balance difficulty—has become a hot topic recently, with people speculating that the abyss below is guarded and everyone looking forward to its opening.
Lake Liurnia is currently a hot topic.
Its unique ability to sustain life for extended periods, its vast and varied map, its unique magic learning mechanism, and its Underground Labyrinth intertwined with endless reincarnation make this region incredibly vibrant and arguably the most replayable area for exploration.
Not long ago, people opened up a new "small safe zone" in the Underground Labyrinth. While building their base, they also faced their first "monster siege". The adventurers who failed to resist the monster tide could only watch helplessly as the safe zone they had worked so hard to open was occupied by monsters.
Adventurer's blood pressure is soaring!
Someone discovered an item called "Academy Gate Town Development Permit," which, when used, greatly expanded the territory of the Great Safe Zone, allowing it to accommodate more people.
It is said that someone has discovered land in the lake area that can quickly produce large quantities of crops, so there is no need to leave the underground city to obtain supplies from the outside world.
However, that kind of land can only grow specific plants, and you have to specifically find the seeds, which have a strange, pixelated design.
As long as it's edible, I don't care what it looks like.
Da Er would occasionally take the Farron Guard to the Lake District to challenge elites or even leaders for training, and fighting powerful enemies undoubtedly improved their strength rapidly.
But a new problem arose: the demons in the surrounding area had been slaughtered to extinction, Farron Guard had not engaged in any actual combat on the ground for a long time.
Da Er considered taking people on business trips to other places, but he was reluctant to leave the Zane Dungeon. It was hard to find a faster way to improve strength than staying in Sien to accumulate souls and level up.
If they keep holding back, the Farron Guard will probably all turn into the Shili Slope Sword God when they reappear in front of the demons.
The various areas of the Zane Dungeon are all operating with great vitality, even more so than the Three Kingdoms Kill game.
As Da Er walked toward the Zane Dungeon, he remembered that he had recently received an invitation from a border general named "General Gai Bi," who wanted to invite the Farron Guard to be stationed at the border to jointly resist the invasion of the demons.
However, since there is no Zane Dungeon the border, Da Er and the others don't really want to go.
Da Er passed through the portal, sat for a moment in front of the campfire at the turkey farm, and then walked through the familiar Farron Keep. The whole process felt as warm and familiar as coming home.
Pushing open the gates of Farron Keep, the Farron Undead Legion silently drifted atop the Linking the Fire Throne.
Da Er gazed at the view for a while, then looked at the road leading underground, wondering when this place would finally be unlocked.
But this glance made him pause, then he subconsciously rubbed his eyes and said, "Am I seeing things?"
A campfire appeared ahead of the path leading underground.
"It wasn't here when I came yesterday."
He tentatively entered the road; the darkness that had previously blocked people from entering had vanished, and a chilling aura blew in continuously.
His heart was burning with excitement like never before. He could go in! He could finally enter the underground of the Farron Keep!
What he didn't know was that going in meant entering a new underground city thousands of miles away.
Da Er suppressed his excitement and returned to the Fortress. Before exploring, he always sat down by the campfire, a common sense for any qualified adventurer.
However, the campfire did not burn and he had to light it himself.
As he tossed the flames into the campfire, Da Er suddenly felt that the small flame he had released would become the flame that would usher in a new chapter.
"Boom!"
Flames shot into the sky, Da Er could even see his own face, a mixture of shock and surprise, reflected in the flames before him.
"Ding ding dong"
The notes that brought tears to the eyes of all the undead began to play, and new images slowly unfolded before him.
A cloud of ashes from the fire fell from the sky.
Then came more and more ashes, falling like snowflakes, casting a gray hue over the world.
In the darkness, Gwyn, the Sun King, walked silently ahead, followed by an army of countless Black Knights, heading towards the Initial Flame Furnace.
An aged female voice rang out.
"As the Initial Flame died down, King Gwyn shared his power with his people and took the lead in passing on the Flame to continue the world."
"But God's reign did not last as long as he had imagined."
Thick fog obscured the view, and accompanied by the roar of a dragon, the nameless king gradually disappeared into the mist.
In the desolate Royal Palace, the noble Princess, dressed in magnificent robes, fell into a deep sleep.
In the long corridor shrouded in night, a "woman" wearing a mask modeled after the sun looks up at the sky, surrounded by the shadows of countless snakes.
"The eldest son of the sun has disappeared, the Sunlight Princess has fallen into a deep sleep, and the Shadow Sun, unable to show its true face, has taken on a heavy responsibility."
What a beautiful woman. When he saw the Shadow Sun, Da Er admitted that he was a little tempted.
Although her face was obscured, her slender figure evoked an overwhelming desire to protect her.
"Generations of heroes threw themselves into the furnace, allowing the world to continue, and time to pass quietly."
One after another, the figures of heroes appeared in my memory, some familiar and some strangers.
Da Er saw the Undead he had met briefly in Hawkwood's Painting World, the Ash who defeated the Sunlight King Undead Legion, and even the figure of a Sun Warrior whose barrel-like helmet, like his cheerful personality, was always eye-catching.
With so many heroes sacrificing themselves, shouldn't the flames burn forever?
"Great souls continue to be thrown into the flame, but it is difficult to restore it to its former glory; the flame grows weaker day by day."
What!?
"Firewood will eventually run out, flames will always weaken, but great souls are hard to find again. When there is nothing left to throw into the flames, the Sunlight King are awakened and thrown into the flames once more with their broken bodies."
As the bells rang, coffins opened one after another, with the figure that Da Er knew best at the front of the procession.
Several familiar figures rose from the coffin.
"The Abyss Watchers, the Farron Undead Legion."
The enormous figure sat up in the coffin, roaring as embers ignited.
"Yhorm the Giant, the Lone King of the Profaned Capital".
A pool of indescribable black mud emerged from the coffin, exuding a profound and mysterious aura.
"The Deep Saint, Aldrich."
This is what Sunlight King, Da Er momentarily stunned.
"But they will surely abandon their status as kings."
"In this era when the fire is dying down, darkness is brewing in the shadows, and conspiracy looms over everyone."
The camera zoomed in on Aldrich's body until the entire image was obscured by the dark mud.
Just as Da Er was wondering what the significance of this scene was—
"Usurpers, driven by the fires of ambition, are baring their fangs at the world."
Light shines in the darkness.
Those were strange lights, one red and one purple, wrapped around the sword!
The dazzling light caused Da Er's spirit to be shaken, and the effects ended at that moment.
"I... I just saw something."
He sat on the ground with his eyes tightly closed, his expression showing great pain, but a grin appeared on his lips.
"We need to tell everyone right away!"
