Who designed this underworld dungeon?.

Chapter 337 How can domestic flowers be as fragrant as wild flowers?

"Master Eliphis, let's go to that store and have a look~"

Selene pretended to be intimate with Eliphis and took his arm, and walked towards a luxurious beauty salon that looked super expensive.

Eliphis smiled and nodded, and every move he made gave people a feeling of "pampering" Selene, making the onlookers want to scream.

The reason why he brought Selene out was to manage his own personality and deepen the impression of "Lord Eliphis and Princess Selene love each other" in the public's mind, so that his wedding with the princess in the future would not be too abrupt.

That's right, the wedding. He is already thinking about marrying the princess.

No matter how you look at it, now is a good time.

The Warrior Kingdom, which often has border frictions with the Kingdom, will soon hold their nationally-watched [War Festival] and will have no time to take care of the conflict with the Kingdom.

Moreover, he didn't need to worry about the long-standing problem of the demons at all, and everything was calm both at home and abroad.

It doesn't matter even if the king dies now.

He had to consider whether this was his only chance in his life, and whether he could find a new opportunity if he missed it. However, his cautious nature prevented him from acting rashly.

He brought Selina out today with the intention of seeing the public's reaction.

It would be great if there was a way to control the thoughts of the people across the country, he thought to himself. With his current abilities, it was difficult for him to even control a royal city.

Unless there is an opportunity to bring about a qualitative change in oneself.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously touched his chest. Under the cover of his clothes, there was a strange-looking red pendant hanging there.

The Fallen Demon Egg is a mysterious item that he obtained after making some kind of deal with the demon priest. This thing can seduce people's negative emotions and lure them to degenerate into life forms similar to the demons.

And one of Eliphis' unique talents happened to be the ability to adjust people's emotions, both positive and negative.

Later, after many experiments, he discovered that people who had been guided by him to have negative emotions would not turn into irrational demons when using the Demon Egg, but would instead retain their own wisdom and become lives closer to "demon beasts".

As long as the amount of negative emotions is controlled, the user can remain wise.

But he had to go through many painstaking experiments to calculate the exact amount.

At the moment of success, he thought that his use of the Fallen Demon Egg had far surpassed the demons.

As long as he wanted, he could use the Demon Egg to make anyone instantly filled with negative emotions and mutate into an intelligent beast that was absolutely loyal to him.

However, there are two problems with the Demon Egg.

First, there was an inexplicable problem with King Ainz III.

Second, he has been unable to use Eliphis so far.

At first he was just confused about this situation, but did not take it to heart. He was the commander and was very powerful. Using the Fallen Demon Egg could certainly greatly improve the combat effectiveness, but fighting to the death was more suitable for his subordinates.

But recent events have changed his mind.

It was those disastrous defeats we suffered in the Sen Dungeon.

The Black Swordsman, the Xialong, and the Overlord Vorniel.

Eliphis wished he could eat the other's flesh and blood alive, but he also knew that with his current strength he could not defeat any of them head-on.

He also longs for strength now, but the strength he can gain through training is minimal, and he doesn't have time to stay in the Senn dungeon to accumulate mental strength. He can only study the Demon Egg and figure out how to use it.

But even though he directed his negative emotions to the point of exploding, he was unable to get the Fallen Demon Egg to react, as if this thing only disliked him.

If he has too many negative emotions, it will affect his daily work, so he has to go out and relax. Choosing Selina, who is innocent and silly by nature, is a good choice for relaxation.

"Master Eliphis, Master Eliphis?"

Selene's voice came from beside him, and Eliphis realized that he was lost in thought, which was really wrong.

"You look like you've accumulated a lot of fatigue. How about trying the hair washing and massage method that's very popular in the royal city recently?"

What are these dignitaries in the royal city researching? Although Eliphis was puzzled, there were so many people watching around him, so he thought it was just a hair wash and massage, nothing big, so he agreed.

Selene immediately asked the staff to order the best service, and took Eliphis to observe the so-called hair washing massage method.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhh!"

A completely undignified scream came from inside the beauty salon. Eliphis was startled and subconsciously reached for the sword at his waist. Only then did he realize that he didn't bring any weapon with him today.

What happened? Could it be that a monster had sneaked into the royal city?

Then he saw a scene that he could not understand.

A middle-aged man with a big belly wrapped in a bath towel stumbled past him, while a thin man rode on him, locked his legs around his neck, and scratched the man's head frantically with both hands, and soap bubbles flew everywhere.

"Count Samed?"

Eliphis recognized the identity of the middle-aged man. Was this an attack on the nobles?
He was about to try to stop him, but he saw the thin man jumped off Count Samed and waved his hand, using water magic to disperse all the bubbles.

The Earl Samid, who had been screaming before, now looked refreshed and said comfortably: "Oh my, the recently popular shampoo massage method is really as good as its reputation. It seems that all my fatigue has disappeared."

Eliphis almost blurted out "Ah?", but fortunately he held it back to protect his image.

Celina explained like Speedwagen:

"The Thane style is very popular in the Royal City recently. The hair washing and massage method of this shop is inspired by a monster called Guru in the Fortress of Fran. The massage effect is very good and can dispel fatigue better than the Great Holy Light."

What is the Senfeng? Why do we need to imitate the monsters to wash their hair? What changes have taken place in the Royal City during the time I have been researching the Fallen Demon Egg?
Eliphis simply couldn't understand how the situation was developing. He seemed to have returned to the time when he first came to the royal city and was still a country bumpkin.

But Selene's words interrupted his memories before they could even begin to appear.

"It's your turn next, Lord Eliphis."

Eliphis was rarely stunned, and his flawless expression twitched slightly.

"Remember to run like Count Samed. This is to imitate an adventurer attacked by Gollum. It can also promote blood circulation and make the massage more effective." After saying that, Selene took Eliphis' arm with sparkling eyes and said pitifully, "I am really worried about your health. Please go for a massage."

"This is the first time I've seen a princess act like a spoiled brat! So cute!"

"Lord Eliphis is so happy!"

"Forget about washing your hair. If I were Lord Eliphis, I would even be willing to have my head cut off!"

Where did you onlookers come from?
Eliphis suddenly realized that he was surrounded by people. Where was the private place he was promised?
This is of course Celina's plot.

"Gulu."

Looking at the staff making a "please" gesture to him, Eliphis was in a desperate situation.

Instead of asking him to run in front of people like Count Samed, he might as well kiss Overlord Warnir with his tongue.

But he is even more proud than Leon in his first appearance, so -

Soon, the rumor that Eliphis really doted on Princess Selene spread throughout the streets.

Is this a disguised way of achieving his goal?
"."

Walking out of the beauty salon in silence, Eliphis felt unclean, as if he had been defiled.

But, but.
Somehow he felt that the shampooing and massage he had just received was really comfortable. All his fatigue was swept away and his brows couldn't help but relax.

"wrong!"

After realizing that his thoughts had been led astray, Eliphis even had the idea of ​​blowing up the beauty salon with a magic cast!

"Lord Eliphis, let's go to the next shop, which provides the same back-stepping experience as the Golden Lion."

I definitely don't want to go!

Eliphis felt that he was developing negative emotions. If he continued to hang out with Selene like this, he might be able to use the Fallen Demon Egg today.

Got to find a way to get out.

As soon as he walked out of the door of the beauty salon, he saw familiar figures waiting outside. It was Elsa and Sally!

"Ah, Captain," Sally saw Eliphis coming out and said quickly, "Girl is important. Hey, the princess is here too, so let's go first."

"Your Highness, please allow me to take my leave for now. There are important matters of the Light Eagle Group waiting for me to deal with." Eliphis said quickly.

"Well, don't worry about me, please do more important things."

This sounded strange, but Eliphis decided to pretend he didn't hear it. After all, he could control Selene's loyalty to him.

So with the unexpected help of Elsa and Sally, Eliphis successfully escaped from the upcoming back-stepping service.

Selene watched their departing backs with a smile, wondering when the one-to-one pure gold statue of Ornstein that she had ordered to be made would be delivered.

On the way back to the Light Eagle Group camp, Eliphis listened to Sally's report, which of course was all the information Elsa got from the Skyrim Raiders group.

"Pope Sullivan"

Eliphis fell into deep thought. This Pope sounded like an important figure, and seemed even more powerful than Wonnier.

Could it be that the Eagle Kingdom that I have been dreaming of is in the hands of Sullivan, and I can get it by defeating him?
How many areas have been opened since the Thane Dungeon appeared near the Royal City? Irithyll is the fifth, and considering its size and the strength of the monsters, it should be the last area.

People, including Eliphis, have never seen a steady stream of new dungeon areas appearing, and people are always wondering when the Senn dungeon will stop being "updated".

Doesn't Irithyll look just right right now? It's a perfect ending.

"Let's get everyone ready." Eliphis said, "In a few days, I will personally lead people into the underground city."

Sally guessed the other party's answer and was not surprised. However, at this time, Eliphis suddenly looked at Elsa and asked:

"Have you had fun out there lately?"

Elsa was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. She always spoke the truth.

"They are with the adventurer group called the Sky Raiders Group, right? Thank you for gathering information for me, Ge Si."

Eliphis smiled warmly, and suddenly thought of something, and asked, "By the way, since you like them so much, do you want to recruit them into the Light Eagle Group?"

"What?" Sally asked in surprise.

This kind of question was unexpected to Elsa. She struggled and finally shook her head.

But what was the reason? She couldn't think of a suitable reason. At this moment, her inner thoughts were close to one sentence:

How can domestic flowers be as fragrant as wild flowers?

"That makes sense. They already have a career, so they wouldn't join the Light Eagle Group for no reason."

Eliphis patted the two on the back, as if to encourage them, and said:
"No matter how we relate to outsiders, we are always a family."

Sally's eyes flashed red and he nodded with emotion.

Elsa had a blank expression and no reaction, but she was always like that, so Eliphis didn't take it seriously.

However, recently the mercenaries of the Light Eagle Group have given a consistent evaluation of Elsa: "Captain Gus's expressions have changed a lot recently, and she has become more adorable."

At this moment, Eliphis was thinking about the Skyrim Strategy Group and the Strategy Group that Leon was in. It was these two people who came to cause trouble in the first place.

Now the cabbage (Elsa) raised at home has the tendency to grow hands and feet and run out of the vegetable garden to look for wild boars. Even if the cabbage can cut a piece of meat from the wild boar and bring it back to him, it still makes people feel bad.

So now it's time to kill the pig and eat the meat.
