Festival and Treasure Chests

The stars in the night sky moved endlessly, falling like rain from the heavens.

It was like countless diamonds cascading down to the earth.

Under the moonlight, every star shone with dazzling brilliance.

The crimson stains that had permeated the Wailing Dunes had somehow vanished, and the former battlefield suddenly became a wide-open vista.

The sand dunes, littered with weathered bones and weapons and filled with a chilling atmosphere, appeared tranquil under the backdrop of the Meteor Shower. It was as if the endless war had finally ended, and the place where the Warrior fought to the death had returned to its former peace, with only the distant ocean waves lapping against the beach.

There's a sea right next to the sand dunes?

If the blood mist hadn't finally disappeared completely, people wouldn't have even noticed the existence of the sea there. After all, they had focused all their attention on Radahn as soon as they entered, and had no time to care about the surrounding scenery.

The projection equipment was facing the sea, and the boundless ocean, seemingly without end, appeared so vast in people's eyes that it broadened their horizons.

As expected, the people outside the dungeon were celebrating and cheering. It is estimated that from now until tomorrow or the day after, the entire Warrior Country will be filled with a joyful atmosphere.

At that moment, facing the boundless sea, a particularly striking meteor streaked across the sky and landed somewhere unknown, triggering a dazzling white light that covered the entire projection screen.

It looks like it smashed a huge hole in the ground; the meteorite's power is indeed extraordinary.

How exactly did Starscourge General manage to seal all these things so firmly? It feels truly incredible.

Of course, it seems even more incredible that someone who could defeat him would be Tarnished.

The moment Radahn's body completely dissipated, the Tarnished had completed his assistance in the battle, also turned into golden light and drifted away with him.

They came suddenly and left suddenly; could it be said that they acted very elegantly?

Even now, people still don't understand how he got here, but adventurers have already made a shocking identification of the Tarnished's identity.

When they pointed it out, it stirred up quite a wave in the crowd.

After recording the disappearance of Radahn and the Tarnished, the projected image turned towards the sea and remained there until the dazzling white light of the meteor falling to earth disappeared.

It has a feel of a landscape photo taken after completing an old-fashioned RPG Yugi, but unfortunately, the "main characters" who fought their way through the game are missing from the scenery.

Wait, who's moving the projected image?

"Huh? I'm still alive?"

Lu Lu Wo's extremely surprised voice came from the screen, revealing a strong sense of disbelief, which made the viewers who heard her laugh.

Looking around at the Wailing Dunes, it seemed that she was truly the only one left alive.

If Goddess of Luck had a church, she would definitely choose Lu Lu Wo as the next Saintess.

Photographers are not to be killed in battle!

"Then, I'll just wander around aimlessly, okay?"

Lu Lu Wo was getting agitated. She spoke as if she were making a suggestion, but the audience outside couldn't respond to her.

The thought that thousands, or even far more, of people were watching her footage put her under immense pressure, even though she was usually very strong-willed. She became as docile as a good girl and began to move slowly across the sand dunes.

To her and the outside world's surprise, there were quite a few people on the sand dunes.

"The honor of this festival absolutely belongs to Radahn, and to all of you! Haha! And did you see that? A star actually fell right before our eyes, I never expected that! Radahn sealed something incredible, truly a genuine mythical hero."

"Let's meet again where the stars fell. I hope we can continue to work together in the future. My sword and fang are all for Ranni's destiny."

"Half-Wolf" Blaidd appeared particularly excited, gazing at the sky with high spirits.

However, his words surprised everyone. Did he mean there was something worth exploring where the stars fell? And what was this about Ranni that he mentioned?

"Warrior, enter my body and become my contents. Let us join hands to realize that dream of becoming heroes."

The "Warrior Pot," with its cracked body, depicts Alexander lying on the ground, rummaging through something. The footage is not very clear, and people cannot see it clearly.

However, after taking a closer look, Lu Lu Wo immediately turned away, preventing the camera from continuing to film what was happening there, because it was a bit graphic.

The old man rubbed the "Rivers of Blood" on his hands, seemingly preparing for the next battle. Leyndell Knight and the Big Goat sat down to rest, while further away, at the highest point of the sand dunes, Lord Jellal was watching the spot where Radahn had disappeared.

The afterimages of those who participated in the Battle Festival are all here, each with their own actions.

That's more like it! How can we not have a group photo of the "main characters" after clearing the game?

With a "click," Lu Lu Wo captured this rare scene on camera.

This is truly a rare sight, as it's unlikely that there will be another Battle Festival of this scale in the future, and even the Warrior Country might not be able to put on such a grand show again.

We can't say for sure, though. What if challenging the Starscourge General becomes a regular feature of the Warrior Country's War Festival in the future?

In that case, at least until the Warrior Country falls, the Zane Dungeon will have no worries about food and drink, truly possessing a sustainable and renewable treasure.

"By the way, what about the reward?"

Lu Lu Wo had felt like something was missing since the beginning. She kept looking around and finally realized what she was missing: no reward!

To be practical, rewards are her biggest motivation!

Just then, a spectacular scene unfolded.

On the Wailing Dunes, countless wisps of light suddenly rose from the cracks in the sand, drifting around like snakes, making it seem as if the entire dune had suddenly been covered with strange plants.

But these were not plants. The ghostly light seemed to be attracted by one gravitational point after another, flying continuously towards those places and intertwining together.

Finally, one familiar figure after another appeared—those who had just died in battle.

"Huh? How did we end up here?"

"Did you fight and win?"

"Why does this place look better now?"

Those who died should have turned into light and vanished, then been resurrected at the Blessing Place. However, this time, after they died, the Zane Dungeon did not immediately resurrect them, but instead waited until now for a collective resurrection.

Hearing from Lu Lu Wo that they had just died in battle and been resurrected the next second, and that they had won a victory, these people were spiritually shocked.

After a long moment of stunned silence, they began the celebration custom of the Warrior Country – raising their arms and shouting. Led by Te Mude and Lan Le, who disregarded their shame, the atmosphere quickly became lively.

However, before the celebrations could reach their peak, a new wave of meteors fell from the sky.

"Wait! Those meteors are coming straight for us!? Everyone run!!!"

When everyone realized that the stars in the sky were falling towards them, they panicked and ran away as fast as they could. In their prediction, the next second would turn this place into a scene of minced meat and blood, an 18+ scene!

"Boom boom boom—"

The meteor's impact caused a series of loud noises, sending up countless flying sand and stones. People screamed in agony before discovering...

"Hey, I'm not dead?"

Startled and falling to the ground, Lu Lu Wo scratched her head. She clearly saw a shooting star rushing towards her head.

"By the way, is the equipment alright? We need to check it quickly. What's this?!"

She quickly checked the live-streaming equipment that had fallen to the ground and suddenly noticed a shallow dent next to the equipment, and inside the dent was...

A treasure chest!

"It's a treasure chest!" "It seems like everyone has one?" "Is it for me? Can I open it now?"

The dunes were suddenly filled with the voices of people who had realized what was happening. A treasure chest fell down in front of each person, and now there were thousands upon thousands of treasure chests on the Wailing Dunes!

This is no ordinary shooting star; it's the God of Wealth delivering a gift!

Just like after the battle with the Full Moon Queen's Mimic Tear, everyone will be assigned their own treasure chest, and the contents may vary.

What could be more satisfying than opening a treasure chest that isn't Treasure Chest Monster?

"Everyone, let's start unpacking!"

Someone shouted this, and the crowd cheered excitedly, filling the air with the clicking sounds of treasure chests being opened.

The next moment, colorful light burst forth, and a large number of white and purple light spots exploded from the treasure chest and scattered on the ground. There were even two golden ones, which made people's eyes widen. They pounced on it with red eyes like wolves that had seen lamb.

"Mine, mine, all of them are mine!"

"Don't even think about taking this from me, I earned it myself!"

"They can even bring out something this high-level? Praise be to the generous Zane Dungeon!"

Seeing the ground covered in sparkles was exciting enough, but when everyone discovered that these sparkles contained the same stuff from before, they let out a joyful "Oh ho!"

Just be happy. These rewards were all included after Gong Qiying conducted market research beforehand, and their value and practicality are absolutely top-notch.

It's rare for people to be so united in making such a big splash in the Zane Dungeon. As the city lord, how could he possibly keep things to himself and act like a miser? This is the time to celebrate with the people!

"I didn't expect it, there are even gold ones." Jia Paer stared at the two golden lights, not moving for a moment. He called Lu Lu Wo over so he could take a picture with the two golden lights before picking them up.

The last time I saw a golden light in the Zane Dungeon was the Sun's Eldest Son's ring. What good thing could it be this time?

The first golden dot is something very familiar to people: [The Battle Memory of the Festival].

This prop records everyone's highlight moments during the Battle Festival. No matter how badly you fought, the Zane Dungeon can capture you looking incredibly cool from unexpected angles, which is why it's so popular.

However, its real purpose is to redeem rewards. When used in the Roundtable Hold, it allows users to freely choose from hundreds of rewards, and the types of rewards available vary depending on each person's performance.

This time, all participants can redeem the exact same rewards because they have unlocked all reward types!

This is a special reward only given to the first kill of Starscourge General.

The other golden spot was exactly what people expected.

Remembrance of the Starscourge

[The Remembrance of "Shattered Star" Radahn, sculpted from the Erdtree, can gain the power of the Lord of Remembrance with the help of the Unraveling Finger.]

The Red Lion General can manipulate gravity—in his youth, Radahn traveled to Sellia to learn Gravity Magic, so he could fight alongside the skinny horse he had known since childhood.

"This story is quite interesting." Lu Lu Wo nodded as she looked at the introduction of Remembrance.

When she first saw Starscourge General, she found it a bit strange. After all, the man was so huge, yet he was riding a skinny horse that looked smaller than his arm. It looked disproportionate, like an adult riding a child's bicycle, and it was a bit comical.

The current Remembrance fills in this gap, and even makes people feel that Starscourge General is a tough guy with a tender heart.

The rewards that can be exchanged for the Remembrance of the Starscourge are naturally his weapons and armor, as well as some talent enhancements.

The first is the [Starscourge Greatsword], and the second is the [Lion Greatbow]. These two weapons need no further introduction.

The weapons are good, but it depends on who uses them. If a weak person exchanges for them, they might not even be able to lift them. The bowstring of the Lion Greatbow is very difficult to draw.

The next reward is different; it's something amazing that has never been seen before.

Thirdly, it is called the "Red Lion Talisman".

[This amulet embodies Radahn's understanding of martial arts. When the wearer learns Weapon Skill related to the Red Lion Legion, there is a chance to comprehend his insights, and it also has a promoting effect on learning other Weapon Skill.]

Starscourge General and his Red Lion Legion are renowned for their martial prowess, and the Red Lion Legion's Weapon Skill are particularly fierce.

Fourthly, it is called the [Gravity Talisman].

[This amulet embodies Radahn's understanding of Gravity Magic. When the wearer learns gravity-related magic, there is a chance to comprehend his insights, and it also has a promoting effect on learning other magic.]

Starscourge General is not only an incomparably brave Warrior, but also a mage with extraordinary talent.

Since the [Battle Memory of the Festival] also contains Starscourge General's weapons, there is some overlap in rewards with [Remembrance of the Starscourge].

So no matter how people see it, the most worthwhile rewards of [Remembrance of the Starscourge] are the last two.

To put it more simply, one of these rewards can improve the efficiency of learning Weapon Skill, and the other can improve the efficiency of learning magic.

A brief introduction.

Extreme practicality.

With the Red Lion Talisman combined with Beinal's teachings, two methods to improve Weapon Skill learning efficiency are working together. I wonder to what extent this can boost a person's learning efficiency.

This is practically tailor-made for the current state of the Warrior Country!

When Lan Le and Te Mude saw the two amulets, their eyes widened and their fists clenched, realizing the profound significance they contained.

The two brothers exchanged a glance, both understanding the meaning in each other's eyes.

Now, it will be difficult for our country to do without relying on the Zane Dungeon.

This doesn't necessarily seem like a bad thing.

"Go back?" Lan Le asked.

"Go back." Te Mude nodded.

He raised his arm and shouted to the crowd with boundless pride:

"A triumphant return!"
