Strange Occurrences in the Bede Family

"Wow! That woman beat Big Brother until he knelt! She must be forcing him to become a slave!"

Ya Yi and Ya Er, the two younger brothers, seeing the bad turn of events, immediately started shouting.

"What should we do? Should we go save Big Brother?"

"I think Big Brother will forgive us,"

"That's right, Big Brother, please forgive us!"

"You two..."

Morgan, who had fallen to the ground, shakily reached out his hand, glaring at the two fleeing younger brothers, and weakly said, "Come back..."

He had spit up blood all over the ground and still didn't understand why the seemingly thin and small Si Telan possessed such immense strength.

In reality, her strength wasn't that great, but it was more than enough to send Morgan flying.

A shadow suddenly enveloped Morgan. It was Si Telan, looking down at him from above with a look of disgust.

Morgan trembled and said with a forced smile, "L- cough cough, Elf lady, please spare my life,"

Si Telan said nothing, retrieved her spear, and lunged at Morgan!

"Wow, help!"

It was the first time passersby had heard a man scream so loudly, aside from being hit by a "duang" sound.

Morgan closed his eyes in fear, yet he didn't feel any pain at all.

Am I dead? So death doesn't hurt at all?

No, I'm not dead!

He opened his eyes. The world before him was still the same world, not hell or anything. He was completely unharmed, only...

"My hair is gone?"

His head felt cold.

Si Telan twirled the spear in her hand and said:

"First, this is a harmonious society now, and buying and selling slaves is not encouraged. Second,"

The great Shield Poke Style smashed down next to Morgan's head, shaking the ground. "Don't let me see you, you scoundrel, outside the city again. Next time, I won't hold back."

Morgan finally breathed a sigh of relief and stammered, "Thank you, Heroine, for sparing my life..."

Si Telan glanced at the Guards who were watching menacingly by the roadside and silently put away her weapon.

If there hadn't been law enforcement officers watching nearby, she would have at least poked a hole in this guy. But with the Guards watching, she couldn't. The law enforcement in Bede City was notoriously indiscriminate; they would arrest everyone first and sort things out later. After all, too many people came here every day, and troublemakers were constantly appearing. Law enforcement had to be efficient.

If she had been a little heavier-handed just now, she would probably have been arrested and charged with mutual combat.

In this vibrant city where everything was thriving, seasoned adventurers like her knew how to exercise restraint.

"My good mood for the day is ruined by you," Si Telan stomped on his face in anger and turned to leave without looking back.

"Cough cough, I think a bone is broken..."

Morgan couldn't even crawl up, lying helplessly on the ground, muttering to himself, "Where did she get so much strength?"

Si Telan stopped, not turning back, and said indifferently, "Because I was tempered in the dungeon."

Dungeon? Tempered?

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener took it to heart. Getting tempered in the dungeon can make you stronger? This is obviously unlikely. Killing monsters in the dungeon doesn't give you double experience or anything, so—

This elf must have had a fortuitous encounter in the dungeon!

Who knows why the passerby would think this way, perhaps their thought process was simply bizarre.

Morgan was stunned for a moment, sighed, and said,

"But I'm a member of the Anti-Dungeon Association."

"Then go die, you bastard,"

Si Telan couldn't be bothered with this guy anymore and quickened her pace, leaving.

"Interesting, that Si Telan's strength has increased so much. Could it really be the dungeon's doing?"

On the rooftop, a figure who had witnessed the entire process lowered the single-barreled telescope in their hand.

"I'll go in and take a look too,"

She brushed her hair aside, revealing pointed ears. She was also an elf.

Two strange things had happened in the Bede Family recently.

One was that the eldest young master, Ka Rong, suddenly left Bede City with a group of people, only leaving a letter saying that he had found a business opportunity and was going out to make a fortune.

The second was that the second young master, Vierde, suddenly fell in love with the dungeon. The first thing he did every day when he opened his eyes was go to the dungeon, and he didn't bring a single attendant. No one could find out what he was trying to do in the dungeon.

If you had to say which of these two things was the most bizarre, it would have to be Vierde.

Ka Rong's matter could be understood. Everyone knew that Count Philip, who was in charge of the Bede Family, was getting old, and in the past two years, he had been looking for a new heir among his descendants. The most likely candidates were the eldest young master Ka Rong and the third young master Sally. In terms of ability, Young Master Sally was the strongest, so it was possible that Young Master Ka Rong did something like this to strive for achievement.

As for the second young master Vierde? How could anyone consider letting this playboy who spent all day eating, drinking, and having fun be the heir? Who knows when he would lose the entire family fortune!

Vierde's uselessness was known to everyone in the city. He was proficient in eating, drinking, and gambling, and had once achieved the astonishing feat of losing even his underwear in a casino, which greatly shamed Count Philip and made him want to beat this useless son to death.

Even if he had some knowledge of mineral appraisal, it couldn't salvage his terrible reputation.

Everyone thought that a person like this would live out his life this way and wouldn't be able to survive without the protection of a large family.

But what happened? Vierde had actually started to work hard recently!

Although he was just dying and reviving in the Zane Dungeon, exploring dungeons was considered a proper activity in people's eyes.

Count Philip was greatly shocked when he learned of this and subsequently sent Vierde his support—a box of Teleportation Crystals.

As a result, Vierde explored even more recklessly.

However, there were rumors that the second young master had not yet been able to get out of the Swamp.

"What kind of tricks are Big Brother and Second Brother up to?"

Sally paced back and forth in the room, unable to figure out what these two were up to.

Heroine Elsa was curled up on the sofa, snacking and flipping through a leisure novel, looking every bit the homebody. Sally had practically raised her into this state.

Perhaps annoyed by the sound of his pacing, she looked up at Sally, said nothing, and lowered her head again.

They spent every day in the house, analyzing reports about the Zane Dungeon obtained from adventurers. Recently, several reports had attracted significant attention.

[Unknown Adventurer:]

[I clearly remember there was a rock near the swamp last time I went. Standing on the rock and jumping a few times would make the nearby monsters freeze, but it didn't work this time! Instead, a monster crawled out from under the rock and bit me to death. This dungeon is really evil, how can it change every day?]

"Changing every day..."

Sally silently read the words, then turned to Elsa and said:

"What do you think, could this fit our hypothesis?"

"What?" Elsa was engrossed in her novel and hadn't heard what Sally said.

Sally said helplessly, "It's that thing,"

"If a dungeon changes frequently, it means there must be—"
