Holy Light's Followers Were Cursing Up a Storm
[A call request has been sent from the Holy Light Dungeon]
"Reject."
[The Holy Light Dungeon has sent a video request.]
"Reject."
The Holy Light Dungeon delivered a gift: a "Glowing Shit Chunk".
"Reject."
The Lord's Room in the Zane Dungeon.
Gong Qiying lay leisurely on the Shrine, and whenever the dungeon notification sounded in his ears, he would casually brush it off with a "no." Over time, he became like a broken record, a true embodiment of human nature.
The followers who have been repeatedly rejected must be hurling some really nasty insults right now.
But Gong Qiying himself couldn't hear it, so out of sight, out of mind, he was happy!
"Just as I thought, once the portal opens, adventurers will be coming and going, and the news will spread quickly and other city lords will know about it soon."
They knew that the battle between the Zane Dungeon and the Flame Fire Dungeon had actually ended sometime earlier.
After learning about these things, they came over and started harassing the Zane Dungeon.
However, what Gong Qiying did not expect was that the followers of the Holy Light Dungeon were the first to learn the news. He thought it would be the White Blood Dungeon, which was closer to him.
But it's pretty close; if one person knows, then it'll probably only be a few days before everyone knows.
Gong Qiying could guess the attitude of the local city lords from the current attitude of his followers towards him.
Surprisingly, their hatred for Sion hasn't lessened after all these days. Hmm, it might even increase because they were deceived.
"However, none of this matters."
Gong Qiying laughed, revealing a somewhat irritating smile.
"Because I'm in a truce right now."
Whether it's a duel or a fight to the Deathmatch, both dungeons have a truce period after the battle, during which you can freely refuse combat requests from other dungeons. However, the truce period after a fight to the Deathmatch is twice as long.
Even after the Deathmatch with the Calamity Nest Dungeon, some demonic dungeons continued to cause trouble for Gong Qiying. However, at that time, he was in a precious truce and ignored all the trouble caused by those demonic dungeons.
By the time the truce ended, the Zane Dungeon had grown into a colossal entity in a short period of time, and all the dungeons that came to cause trouble had inexplicably disappeared.
He is currently in a truce period, and neither the Holy Light, the White Blood, nor any other local dungeons can do anything to him!
The current Zane Dungeon can provoke whomever it wants; the ones that should be afraid are the local dungeons!
Since the Flame Fire Dungeon, a key local force, has been captured by Sein, the rest of us need to consider whether we are qualified to fight!
"Indeed, no matter where you go, the first thing you have to do to get along with the locals is to become one of them."
So far, Gong Qiying is proceeding with the second step of his plan, observing the situation.
After the news of his victory over the Flame Fire Dungeon spreads, some city lords will definitely back down and dare not cause trouble again, but there will definitely be others who will continue to provoke him.
He didn't intend to deal with those unimportant dungeons that had nothing to do with his mission. If anyone was really making a big fuss, he would pick one out and beat them up as a warning.
He was waiting for the reactions of the Holy Light, white blood, and flames.
That's right. Although we fought a battle, after thinking about it afterwards, I feel that the suspicion Flame Fire Dungeon has not been cleared up. There are still a few small doubts.
However, news came from Red Fang that since the city lords began their investigation, the demonic activities in Scamellon had suddenly become noticeably quiet.
It seems these guys were notified, and they all became more discreet, their numbers stopped increasing, and their origins became unknown.
Chiya deduced that their actions must have been leaked somewhere, alerting the enemy. So, what they needed to do now was to stall and wait and see what happened.
Yan Huo's words gave Gong Qiying an idea: if he wanted to investigate whether an underground city had produced any anomalies, he should look at the other party's Spirit Power income and expenditure.
Therefore, a dungeon that has made a deal with the demons must have gained more Spirit Power than it appears on the surface in Scamellon.
He shared this idea with Chiya, who said he would tell the other city lords who were investigating, so that everyone would pay close attention.
While waiting, Gong Qiying observed the dungeons he had identified as his targets.
He not only included the three designated by the mission, but also other surrounding dungeons in his observation scope.
"When the truce is halfway over, I'll find the one who looks most suspicious and beat him up."
However, the most suspicious person may not be the real culprit. It is possible that none of the underground cities he observed were the real culprits. Therefore, he has other methods to identify the real culprit.
The Holy Light Dungeon delivered a gift: "One Hundred Letters"
"Reject."
Gong Qiying once again refused the Holy Light Dungeon.
"Anyway, let's enjoy the feeling of exploring the new map for now."
Everything in the Zane Dungeon, including the adventurers who enter Zane Dungeon, is under his control.
Those Frenzy Flame Cult who left Hypha Town will eventually return obediently; they won't go far and won't cause much harm.
Whether it's the Sparkfire Church or the Holy Light Church, their struggle for the Zane Dungeon is a matter for the surface world, and he won't interfere in the slightest.
However, in order to fit the theme of "Ska Meron" in Scamellon, the anomalies that occur in the Zane Dungeon will definitely have an impact on adventurers who enter the dungeon.
It might affect the ongoing struggle on the surface.
But that has nothing to do with Gong Qiying, since he was just managing his own little plot of land.
Four Crystal Ball float near the Shrine, each representing an adventurer from the Arnor Kingdom, Red, the Warrior Country, and Scamellon, and can be observed at any time.
As the original starting point of the Zane Dungeon, the Arnor Kingdom is the most stable base. To date, all activities of adventurers have been in a stable balance and will not be easily disrupted. Not only the dungeon, but also the surrounding industries are thriving.
Not long ago, he seemed to have seen that the Bede Family's toys were being sold in Scamellon, and the leader of the group seemed to be the trusted Bull Horn Helmet bodyguard who worked for Earl of Bede.
The Zane Dungeon project in the Warrior Country is in a steady upward trend, with weekly Spirit Power gains showing an upward trend, and the results are gratifying.
The people of the Warrior Country are interested in every part of the Zane Dungeon. As a nation with a larger total population than the Arnor Kingdom, there are always people who will try and enjoy any gameplay.
The Floating Island Dragonkin have seen a surge in their reproductive desires due to the more stable environment they now enjoy. As loyal consumers of the sugar-oil mixture in the Zane Dungeon, each increase in the Floating Island Dragonkin provides the Zane Dungeon with a long-term source of Spirit Power.
The Floating Island Dragonkin and the Zane Dungeon are each other's meal tickets.
As for Reed
It can only be said that the locals have all migrated to the Arnor Kingdom or the Warrior Country to eat rice. Those places have become entirely immigrant countries, so there's not much more to say.
On Scamellon's side, everything was just beginning, and it was a time when all the forces were restless and the winds of change were blowing.
Just then, a notification came from the Zane Dungeon, and the Crystal Ball in front of Gong Qiying immediately changed its image, turning to a group of people.
It was Hervey and his Starfire Knight who, after resting, once again entered the Zane Dungeon as a whole team.
Just like with Si Telan back then, he is now paying attention to Hervey, who also has great potential.
It's definitely not because the Starfire Knight are too entertaining or funny that I'm paying attention to them. Absolutely not. Gong Qiying is a serious person who focuses on his career!
"These people are really efficient. They came back down in such a short time. Well, let me see how far you can explore this time."
Inside the Crystal Ball, Hervey and the others made some preparations at the Firelink Shrine and headed straight for the Undead Burg they had previously suffered a setback.
Should we continue challenging that Red Wyvern, or explore deeper into the region? Or perhaps do something else entirely?
Whatever they were going to do, the lord of the Zane Dungeon watched "seriously."
