Zane Shares Lunastra with You

"Fingel, what exactly is going on?"

Seeing that Fingel had frozen after glancing at the Image Transmission Device, Matilda also leaned over to take a look.

This sight was quite alarming. The last time she had witnessed something resembling cultists conducting evil experiments was back then, and it inexplicably reminded her of the Cathedral of the Deep.

But the most surprising thing is why it was Iliphis who did this?

That leader of the Light Eagle Legion doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do something like this!

In the scene, under the cold moonlight, Iliphis draws blood from the beastman and injects it into the body of an unconscious ordinary person. He then forcibly stuffs the Fallen Devil Egg into the ordinary person's mouth and applies some indescribable power to it with his red-glowing eyes.

Thus, a brand-new beastman was born.

The beastmen initially transformed into the likeness of King Anzi III, but after being influenced by Iliphis, they developed different beast-like characteristics, retaining only some seemingly beneficial mutations. Overall, they were still based on the King's chosen beastmen.

Moreover, when he opened his eyes, his gaze was filled with a clear and rational expression!

Looking at the new beastmen, Iliphis couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter.

"Snap—"

There was a cracking sound. Matilda looked down and saw that Fingel had crushed the Hard Iron Dagger in his hand.

His expression was now indescribably ferocious.

"!"

Matilda was startled; she suddenly realized something.

Iliphis possesses the ability to transform people into monsters, and these monsters bear a striking resemblance to the native inhabitants of Fingel that she summons through her Hell March!

She considered a terrible possibility, and Fingel considered it as well.

Could it be that the destruction of Fingel's hometown Iliphis?

Judging from his seemingly enthusiastic approach to experimenting on beastmen, he must have conducted various experiments many years ago, if he really did it.

So, Fingel's actions of bringing "rest in peace" to his hometown and later treating him as a good friend seem to fit the Hell March's taste no matter how you look at it!

The person who saved my life is actually my greatest enemy. How could such a thing happen by such a coincidence?

There's one more thing!

Iliphis's current actions can be transmitted through the Image Transmission Device, it means that Princess Serena is also present. Moreover, the image is completely still, indicating that she is also maintaining a motionless posture. On the one hand, she is being restrained; on the other hand, she is being controlled.

Serena is too far away; at this time, we should prioritize taking care of the captain's mental state!

She was about to say something when Fingel grabbed her hand and patted the back of it, as if to tell her not to worry.

"Why?"

Is it possible for Fingel to remain calm in a situation like this?

However, when she met the other person's eyes, she realized that her captain had not calmed down at all.

"Don't worry, Iliphis would never do anything to harm Serena. He needs the Princess to live unless he intends to completely betray humanity, but that's impossible."

How can someone who doesn't even pause while speaking be considered calm?

"It's possible that Iliphis is doing now is different from what we think; he may have discovered some problems with the King, so he's—"

"Fingel!"

Matilda couldn't stand it any longer and interrupted Fingel with a loud shout.

She could tell that this guy's brain had just gone blank.

"."

Fingel paused for a moment, his expression shifting slightly, then he sighed and said:

"I'm alright, Matilda."

"So what do you plan to do? Will you release this video?"

Fingel glanced down at the Image Transmission Device again. In the image, Iliphis was conducting new human experiments with a smile on his face, completely disregarding the fact that he was still in the Royal Palace. He was taking his fearlessness to the extreme, perhaps because he had become obsessed with this new discovery.

When he saw him manipulating people's minds with his glowing red eyes, Fingel spoke.

"When we first met, I told you that if I could find the murderer, I would definitely do something irrational."

Matilda and Aleya stood beside him; they were all friends who had worked together for many years, so how could they not know what he was thinking?

They will absolutely support whatever he really wants to do.

"So."

Fingel clenched his fist.

"Would you like to come with me? You might be wanted by the kingdom for life."

To my dear brother Godwyn

[I heard from Grandpa Red Fang that you're looking for a suitable dungeon within the Warrior Country, right? In that case, why don't you come keep me company as Pan Sen in my Boulder Dungeon?]

Since we're already here, we should find a suitable dungeon from the start, right? Unfortunately, the city lords here have all accumulated a lot of martial Wu De, and they've practically wiped out all the non-human city lord dungeons within our territory. So, brother, you won't find a suitable dungeon. All that's left are some remote or deserted places.

"Since that's the case, how about coming to keep me company? There's an abandoned dungeon nearby that you can use. Don't worry about it stealing my Spirit Power. Brother, I don't have any expenses right now, I'm quite content with the status quo. If you came over, we could meet and drink every day, wouldn't that be awesome!"

[Just between you and me, quite a few people wanted that dungeon, but I didn't find them exciting enough, so I turned them all down. Only you gave me that special feeling, so come on over, I'll treat you to a good time!]

[Let me tell you something in secret: Grandpa Red Fang actually came to discuss this with me privately, and told me not to tell you, but of course I didn't listen. He's such a loyal senior; it's lucky to have someone like him taking care of you. It's just that he seems to still be thinking about your dragon.]

There's one more thing. Although that abandoned underground city is very close to me, it's actually separated by two human cities. So just come on over, don't worry about me.

Come on, bro! Come on! We're waiting for you!

The Lord's Room in the Zane Dungeon.

Looking at the letter, which was overflowing with enthusiasm, Gong Qiying felt for a moment as if he had encountered a social terrorist, and he didn't know how to reply.

After a moment, he chuckled, carefully put the letter away, and then took out a blank sheet of paper and sent a letter to Chi Ya. The content was very simple.

[Are you there?]

Chiya replied almost instantly, sending his message back very quickly.

[Yes, what made you think of writing to me? Is there anything I can help you with?]

The handwriting on the letter had a kind of serious yet hasty feel to it, as if it was written at high speed in order to reply as soon as possible. Thinking back, it seems that almost every time I wrote to Chiya, he replied instantly.

I have this feeling of a lonely old person yearning to communicate with others.

The thought of Chiya, such a large dragon, gripping a pen and writing furiously on a letter paper filled Gong Qiying with amusement.

Without wasting any words, he made a few operations on the City Lord Panel, and immediately Chiya received such a message.

You have received a monster shared from the Zane Dungeon — the Lunastra.

This time, Chi Ya's reply took a full five minutes to arrive.

The content may seem extensive, but it can actually be summarized using just a few punctuation marks.

[!!!,???,!?!??!?]

You have received an item shared from the Red Fang Dungeon.

You have received a monster shared from the Red Fang Dungeon.

You received a message from...

Gong Qiying closed the City Lord Panel, temporarily ignoring the long string of notifications that came through, feeling quite pleased with himself for doing a good deed.

He then turned to examine the letter sent by Pan Sen, the Dungeon Lord, and could feel the warmth of the sender even from the handwriting.

"Since they've extended such an invitation, I shouldn't refuse."

The reason why Gong Qiying had been hesitant to enter the Warrior Country was because there was no suitable dungeon. In the past two days, he had been planning to take over that remote, unwanted dungeon and turn it into something magical with his own strength. However, it seems that fate did not want him to go to the wilderness to explore.

It's decided then. We'll take over this abandoned dungeon, which is two cities away from the Boulder Dungeon!

However, before taking over, we need to finish updating the DLC for these dungeons located within the kingdom.

For example, Onion Knight, Jack Baldo, has been dozing off in Irithyll of the Boreal Valley for so long, it's time to get him moving.

Then there are some updates and additions, big and small. Once all of these are implemented, this part of the dungeon within the kingdom will be able to operate completely self-sufficiently and automatically, basically without needing to be monitored every day.

Oh, and I still need to take care of the little girl in Verdant Dungeon, but there shouldn't be any major problems.

Gong Qiying shifted his thoughts to the outside world, walked out of the hotel where he was temporarily staying in the Leyndell, and looked up at the sky.

As dawn breaks and the morning sun shines through the clouds onto the ground, people gradually get up, leave their homes, and begin their activities, as a vibrant new day begins.

The Leyndell, or rather this country, has recently given him a sense of gradual stability. The recent attack by the Warrior Country caused turmoil in the Leyndell, but this has not affected his subjective feeling at all.

After all, the fighting outside has little impact on Sion, who has already reached a considerable scale.

But it's best to avoid war; long live peace.

"It's good that this country maintains the status quo, so I can confidently explore new maps."

Gong Qiying muttered this to himself, and it came from the bottom of his heart.

"Da da da—"

The rapid sound of horses' hooves echoed through the streets, and a man who looked like a palace guard was shouting something. After hearing what he said, Gong Qiying looked at him strangely.

What does it mean King suddenly falls critically ill and is nearing death?
