Chapter 830 Discussion and Trading

Outside the dungeon entrance,

Hearing the voice behind him, Li Si turned around.

Standing behind him was Ullr, the [Throat of Illusions].

At that moment, the legendary senator from the "Cocoon of Lies" school was smiling at him and greeting him.

Li Si also had some impression of this legendary senator.

As one of the three top schools of thought, the Cocoon of Lies naturally has a considerable number of legendary councilors.

However, this [Throat of Illusions] Ullr, although relatively young among the [Cocoon of Lies], is a rather active member, actively participating in various activities of the Legendary Council.

Over time, this person has become one of the representative figures of the "cocoon of lies."

However, Li Si had not had much interaction with this Uller before.

Li Si could sense the magical energy emanating from this person, indicating that their strength was quite formidable.

Is there anything we can discuss?

Li Si looked at Uller and asked with a smile.

"It's about these abyssal monsters."

Uller nodded, his expression turning serious as he said:

"In the battles these past few days, Li Si, you must have noticed that these abyssal beasts keep coming in endlessly, as if they really can't be killed off."

"Therefore, the previously delayed plans must be changed."

"Although we can still hold on for now, who knows if things will change in the future."

"So, what should we do?"

Li Si put away his staff and looked at Uller.

"I think things won't change if we continue like this, so we might as well take the initiative and directly address the root cause of this incident!"

Uller said in a solemn tone:

"In that case, we will undoubtedly have to go deep into the underground city."

"However, as we can see from the previous battles, there are quite a few powerful monsters among these monster hordes, including a significant number of legendary-level monsters. Entering the dungeon also carries considerable risks."

"Therefore, only the legendary councilors can enter the dungeon. This matter needs to be discussed by everyone."

".OK."

Li Si looked at Uller, a slight smile playing on his lips.

coming!

There are quite a few legendary councilors at the entrance to the dungeon, most of whom have come here to explore this newly appeared dungeon.

However, they probably didn't expect that they would encounter such a troublesome situation before they had even found the various resources in the underground city.

"I feel that this abyssal beast tide in the dungeon is not quite right."

"Aurora Echoer" Zachary frowned as he looked at the legendary councilors around him.

At this moment, the legendary councilors located around the underground city all came to this space cabin that belonged to Li Si.

Unlike the brutal battlefield outside, the interior of this small space was quite luxurious and comfortable, just like being in a king's castle. Exquisite snacks and steaming hot black tea created a cozy atmosphere.

However, the atmosphere in the room was somewhat serious at this moment.

Eight legendary councilors have arrived and are discussing how to resolve this incident.

"I've never heard of a beast tide of this size appearing in a dungeon, and with such a dense concentration of abyssal power. There's definitely something seriously wrong!"

Zachary continued:

“I suspect that there is a spatial passage connecting to the endless abyss deep within this underground city, which is why this situation has occurred.”

"Wouldn't that be even better? If we can solve this spatial passage, so many abyssal monsters won't appear again."

Uller continued.

"If only it were that easy."

Zachary shook his head and said seriously:
"As everyone should know, if it's just a spatial passage connecting to the endless abyss, or even a demon gate, it's not a big problem for the association."

"But even so, it's hard to explain why so many magical beasts have appeared."

"There must be someone manipulating this behind the scenes, and it's very likely that it's those followers of evil gods."

"Cultists of evil gods? Then why are they targeting us?"

Trevor, the decoder, said:

"Aren't those evil god followers currently engaged in battle with the Church of Gods in the small world? How can they still have the energy to devote to us at this time?"

Indeed, the conflict between the churches of gods and believers of evil gods has recently escalated.

Although the Church of the Gods had previously struck down the followers of the evil gods in a surprise attack, the struggle between the two sides has not subsided.

After learning about the new changes to the Crystal of Phillips, the followers of the evil god also concentrated their forces and secretly launched surprise attacks on some of the smaller worlds of the Church of Gods.

Despite prior preparations, the Church of the Gods still suffered considerable losses due to being caught off guard.

As a result, both sides became quite heated.

Besides battles between legendary powerhouses, there are even records of semi-divine artifacts and holy artifacts being used.

After all, the small worlds of each extraordinary force are the most important places, and neither side can tolerate any regression in this regard.

Although the Pan-Continental Mage Association was not involved, it did not stop collecting relevant intelligence.

Therefore, they have a certain understanding of the current situation of both parties.

Anything can happen.

[The Ice Queen] Ms. Natalie shook her head and said:
"There are so many evil god lords in the endless abyss, who knows which one will be the one to make the move this time?"

"However, no matter who it is, as long as they are in the Gaia Main World, we cannot tolerate them infringing on the Association's interests in this way."

"However, going directly into the dungeon is too dangerous."

Zachary frowned and said with a hint of helplessness:

"Since it is almost certain that there are followers of evil gods involved, we have no choice but to face the dangers that follow this incident."

"Anything can happen in a dangerous and mysterious place like the underground city. Let's wait for the association's support to arrive before we do anything else."

"I don't think there's any difference."

Uller shook his head, smiled, and looked at Zachary, saying:
"Even if the association's support arrives, what can it do? Unless we decide to hold this area and wage a war of attrition, we will have to enter the dungeon to resolve this matter."

"At that time, it will be a matter for us legends to handle."

"Unless you think that because of this incident, the association should use a floating city or bring back a Speaker."

"Indeed it is."

Natalie nodded, agreeing with Uller's point of view.

"Too hasty"

Zachary wanted to argue, he didn't know why he always felt that doing so would be dangerous, but he couldn't find a reason to oppose Uller.

After all, what Uller said was indeed true.

Now, only these legendary senators can resolve this current situation. "Of course, Zachary's concerns are not without merit."

Uller glanced at Zakri, nodded, and said:

"We'll have more people going into the dungeon this time, so we can look out for each other."

"The rest of you can stay at the entrance."

"Alright."

"I have no opinion."

Uller glanced around at the legendary councilors present, then his gaze fell on Li Si, who had remained silent throughout.

At this moment, Li Si was leisurely sipping his black tea, occasionally munching on a piece of pastry.

They were so relaxed, as if their discussion had nothing to do with Li Si at all.

"Lord Li Si, what is your opinion?"

"I do not watch."

In response to Uller's question, Li Si replied with a smile.

"Huh?"

Uller was taken aback by Li Si's response and was momentarily speechless.

Seeing Uller's surprised expression, Li Si put down his teacup and said:
"I haven't forgotten that while I was away, it seemed someone was targeting the [Source of All Laws]?"

"Now that the situation here is under control for the time being, I'm going to go back to the association to deal with this matter."

"Since you've made such thorough preparations, Uller, you probably don't need me anymore, right?"

Upon hearing Li Si mention this matter, several legendary councilors around him looked somewhat uneasy.

They were all aware of this matter.

Even though they didn't attend that meeting of the Legendary Council, they learned about the situation through other channels.

Those people naturally understood what the proposal regarding the "Source of All Laws" was trying to achieve.

Previously, Li Si had likely been staying in the underground city and might not have been aware of this situation.

However, Li Si should have known about this situation after leaving the underground city.

At this point, Li Si proposed returning to the association, and no one else dared to say anything.

"Lord Li Si, among all those present, you are the strongest. As a follower of the World Tree, you are also more familiar with those followers of the evil god."

After a moment's thought, Uller looked at Li Si earnestly and said:
"Although I know it may be presumptuous, I still hope that you can participate in this exploration of the dungeon."

“I believe this is quite important for the entire association.”

"With so many councilors here, it wouldn't matter if I were one more or one less, right?"

Li Si looked at Uller with a smile and then said:

"I feel that the current [Source of All Laws] needs me more!"

"Lord Li Si"

Looking at Li Si in front of him, Uller wanted to continue to persuade him, while the others just watched from the sidelines.

"If you are willing to offer your help, I think [Cocoon of Lies] would be happy to support you in that matter!"

"Oh?"

Li Si looked at Uller with an unreadable expression:

"What do you want if you're willing to pay this price?"

Uller was startled upon hearing this, but remained calm and said:
"For the sake of the Cocoon of Lies, and for my own sake."

"【Cocoon of Lies】 has invested a lot of effort in this dungeon exploration. Both the leader and I want to resolve this matter as soon as possible."

"And this exploration of the dungeon was also led by me; I don't want it to drag on like this forever."

“Lord Li Si, your strength should be the strongest present, no less than our leader, Lord Murphy, the Mist Chanter, and you also have a great understanding of the followers of the evil god.”

"So, I would like to get your help."

"That works too."

Li Si nodded, seemingly convinced by Uller.

"But if you want to lie to me, be prepared to pay the price."

"Of course, once this incident is over, I think with the help of the [Cocoon of Lies], that so-called bill will definitely not be passed."

underground city entrance,
Li Si and Uller casually killed the monsters that appeared from the entrance, preparing to enter the dungeon.

Beside him were three legendary councilors: Natalie, the Ice Queen; Trevor, the Decipherer; and Boyd, the Shadowflame Overlord.

As the sun gradually set, a deafening roar suddenly echoed from the depths of the dark and gloomy underground city, as if an ancient beast had been awakened and was roaring in fury.

Immediately afterwards, more and more eyes gleaming with an eerie green light lit up in the darkness, and all sorts of magical beasts surged out of the dungeon passages, baring their fangs and exuding a chilling aura of ferocity.

As darkness fell, these magical beasts lost all their last fear and rushed out of the dungeon entrance.

In an instant, the number of monsters that emerged increased several times over!
This was also the goal of Li Si and his group.

They said that to find the source of the monsters, it would be more accurate to search when the number of monsters is at its highest.

Just then, facing the overwhelming tide of monsters, Li Si and the others simply raised their hands and chanted incantations.

Then, dazzling magical light bloomed at their fingertips.

Fire dragons, ice spikes, and lightning bolts ripped through the sky, striking the surging demonic beasts with pinpoint accuracy and instantly turning them into ashes or ice sculptures.

The howls of monsters and the roar of magical explosions intertwined to create a thrilling battle song.

After repelling the first wave of attacks, Li Si and his companions did not stop for a moment. Stepping over the mountains of monster corpses, they resolutely marched deeper into the dungeon.

The underground passages were narrow and winding, making the massive number of monsters seem even more crowded, as they charged upwards recklessly.

It was as if these magical beasts were driven by some invisible force, ignoring the other forks in the road around them, and only wanting to break free of their restraints and surge toward the ground.

The legendary lawmakers knew that the real threat lay deeper.

They quickened their pace while continuously casting powerful spells to clear away the monsters blocking their path.

A firestorm swept through, devouring hordes of magical beasts; an icy domain unfolded, freezing everything in ice; and a mysterious bewitching spell caused some of the magical beasts to lose their way and turn on each other in an instant.

Every move and every stance showcases the legendary mages' ultimate control over magic and their profound understanding of combat.

However, as time went on, the number of monsters rushing in did not decrease, but instead became more and more turbulent.

Among them are many legendary monsters with enormous size and astonishing strength.

These beings posed a considerable challenge even to Li Si and his group.

The pressure of the battle suddenly increased, and a tense and oppressive atmosphere filled the air.

At this critical moment, Li Si took a deep breath, raised his staff high, and began to chant a more complex and profound incantation.

As the incantation was completed, a dark gray current spread out from beneath his feet, quickly enveloping everyone.

The group vanished into the shadows in an instant, leaving behind only an empty passage and a horde of monsters still looking around in bewilderment.
