Who designed this underworld dungeon?.

Chapter 501 The Old Man Takes You Around Thane

Leon felt like he was witnessing a grand ceremony of enthroning the six nations.

When he learned that Yufei was the daughter of Teacher Gapar, he had thought about talking to her about Gapar.

However, Yufei had always been uninterested in this topic, and even pretended not to hear it. Then she thought of the rumors that Japar and his daughter were not getting along.
Alas, as an outsider, he couldn't have an in-depth discussion about such matters. He didn't even know the inside story, let alone persuade Yu Fei.

If I really want to persuade him, what should I say? A good child shouldn’t quarrel with his father, right?

vomit!
Leon also thought about telling Gapar what happened here, but unfortunately he couldn't find the other party's contact method and didn't know whether it was a good idea to inform Gapar.

Unexpectedly, the other party came to my door today!

And such a huge mistake was made!

Looking at Yuffie who had already run into the Senn dungeon and Gapar who was about to chase in, Leon felt that he had to say something, otherwise it seemed that the final result would be very bad.

"Teacher!" He shouted at Gapar, even using magic to make the voice inaudible to others. "She doesn't need sympathy now!"

Gapar paused, nodded to Leon, and then chased after him.

"."

Leon sighed, not knowing whether the other party listened to him or not.

Hopefully the results will be good.

Inside the dungeon of Sen.

As soon as Gapar entered the dungeon, he was forced to watch the images that Leon and the others had already seen. Even though he was extremely anxious, he couldn't find the skip button.

However, since the parasites were completely eliminated, there have been slight changes at the beginning of the Yharnam area, and the image has hardly changed, but -

The blood therapy process that everyone had to go through at the beginning is gone.

He didn't care about blood therapy or anything like that. He only wanted to find his daughter. After the video was finally finished, he immediately jumped down from the bed. With his super perception, he immediately locked onto Yufei who was moving at high speed in Yharnam City.

Without having time to observe the scenery of Yharnam, he rushed out like a gust of wind. As usual, the werewolves entrenched in Yusefka's clinic didn't even notice what was passing by them, and were slammed against the wall by the wind pressure.

On the other side, Yufei, who noticed that Gapar was chasing him at high speed, couldn't help but let out a "tsk" sound, and while hiding his breath, he raised his legs and ran towards a remote and narrow place.

I am much more familiar with this city than he is, there is no way he can find me!
However, Yuffie seemed to have underestimated the current Gapar.

Even though she tried her best to hide her presence, Japar was still able to lock onto her.

She made many detours in Yharnam, even deliberately going to places with traps and monsters. There were many traps that even she had failed to catch or been fooled by. Although it certainly wouldn't hurt Japar, it could at least slow him down, right?

But it's impossible.

For some reason, Japar's speed in passing through these traps was much faster than Yuffie's, as if he was so experienced that he had already figured out a whole set of tricks to deal with the Sean series of traps in his mind, and he was able to remain calm even when he saw a trap for the first time.

How come you act like you know this dungeon better than I do! Yufei was going crazy. She looked back and saw that Gapar had appeared at the corner at the end of the street!
"Yuffy!"

Listen, the sound is clearly audible. I'm afraid it will catch up in a few seconds.

"You don't have to come over, I can handle it!" Yu Fei shouted without turning back, "I don't need your sympathy again!"

Japar's gray brows furrowed. He hadn't been seen so distressed since he killed the descendant of the Demon King and avenged himself. All parents in the world would feel anxious when seeing their children turned into aliens, even if you are the unparalleled swordsman.

He was about to shout out some sympathetic and comforting words like all parents in the world to persuade his daughter to stop, but suddenly he remembered what Leon said, "What she needs now is not sympathy."

If it wasn't sympathy that she needed now, what was it?

Japar thought he knew, because after taking revenge, he had been keeping an eye on his daughter's movements, and he vaguely guessed something from her actions, but he was not 100% sure.

But now even if we are not sure, we have to try it, otherwise there is no way to calm down the manic Yuffie, so Gapar shouted:

"Who wants to sympathize with you? I, your father, am here to issue a challenge!"

"Eh?"

Yu Fei paused, or even staggered, and almost fell to the ground. What did she just hear?
Japar acted as if he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and shouted menacingly. His posture made people think that he would take out a feather duster and beat the child at any time.

"Do you know what outsiders call me because of the good things you have done recently?"

"What's the call?" Youfei asked subconsciously. She was really curious.

"Last time, a kid from the Warrior Country pointed at me and asked if I was Sister Yuffie's father!"

Garpar yelled deliberately like a mean old man: "I have worked hard all my life to become the famous swordsman in people's mouths, but you, a girl, only took a few years to turn me into Yufei's father in people's mouths. This title doesn't have any momentum at all!"

"Pfft-"

Yuffie finally couldn't help laughing, she tried to hold it back but couldn't suppress it at all.

What does this feeling feel like? The child is obviously angry with the parents because of some conflicts, and has even decided to turn himself into an emotionless learning machine to make his parents regret it. But at a certain moment, he can't help laughing because of a joke told by the other party.

Once you smile like this, you can never go back to your previous angry state.

"That's because you're not motivated enough!" Yufei's pace slowed down without her realizing it. "And how could I possibly do something like that!"

Gapar also slowed down, and the corners of his mouth curled up under his beard, but his tone was still angry as he shouted:
"It's no use arguing, there are just some brats yelling that! I've worked so hard this year, have you worked half as hard as I have?"

"That's not certain!"

Seeing that the time was right, he shouted:
"So I'm here to challenge you, girl. Do you dare to compete with me?"

Yu Fei suddenly stopped and turned his head, a smile flashed across his face, and he tried to keep a straight face and said, "What are you competing for? You are not going to do anything to bully the weak, are you?"

It had been a long time since she had seen her father's face to face, and when he turned around, she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Let's see who has a higher fame - but you are no less famous than me, your father. There is no point in comparing us," Gapar also stopped and gasped like a real old man, which was enough to show how much energy he had consumed in rushing here at high speed.

"That?"

"Let's let our two apprentices compete. I heard from that kid Bang Tou that you have accepted several apprentices in the Warrior Country."

Yufei was delighted when she heard this and said:
"Are you sure? Although Leon and Dahl are both outstanding talents, they are definitely not as good as my apprentice!"

She clenched her fist and said firmly:
"Because my disciples are all dragons!"

"Hmph, speaking of dragons, I don't know how many he has chased away." Gapar was referring to the pyroxene dragon of Lake Lienia. Ever since adventurers appeared there in large numbers, the pyroxene dragon has not been able to get a good night's sleep in its own nest.

"You can't beat my apprentice, who do you think I am?"

Youfei took a step forward, clasped her arms and made a Gurren Lagann-like pose, full of pride.

Japar took advantage of the situation and walked forward several steps to stand directly in front of his daughter. He smiled domineeringly and said, "I am much more professional than you in training apprentices."

"Huh?" x2
Their foreheads collided violently, and there seemed to be sparks flashing in their eyes as they stared at each other. Even if they then swung their magnetic fields at each other with a force of a million horses, there would be no sense of incongruity.

"."

The atmosphere suddenly became silent. A beast-like citizen mistakenly entered the alley and immediately ran away in panic.

The father and daughter's expressions twitched at the same time, and then -

"Hahahaha!" x2
They both laughed at the same time.

Yufei knocked her father back half a step with her shoulder, and Gapar kicked her daughter Pigu at a tricky angle, and was stabbed by the barbs of the exoskeleton.

"Then the competition is set. We'll see the result in half a year! I will definitely win." Yu Fei said.

"Ah, it's settled!"

The two of them bumped fists at the same time, and the air waves generated by the fists cracked the surrounding walls. Japar gently stroked the shoulder of the Yufei alien and said:
"Before that, come with me and get yourself healed."

"I'm fine this way." Yufei shook her head habitually.

"Bullshit, bugs and such are ugly." "Then do you have a way to cure me?"

"of course."

Japar took out a silver-white object from his arms. This was an extremely precious item well known to adventurers in the Kingdom of Anor.

【Teardrop larvae】

“The path to salvation lies within it.”

Not long after, the city of Savis.

"I, I'm under an illusion?"

Looking at Gapar and Yufei, who looked like a virtuous father and filial daughter, Leon was stunned.

This, it's only been ten minutes, right? I haven't even thought about how to comfort the teacher about my child's rebellious period, and we're already reconciled?

Could it be that Mr. Gapal asked Yuffie to beat him up to vent his anger?

Applying the context of his own father-son relationship, Leon felt that if his father let him beat him up ten times, perhaps the hatred between the two would be cleared to zero - cleared not because Leon forgave him, but because Tepi would probably die if he couldn't stand it ten times.

"I'm going to take Yufei to Thane for treatment. I'll leave things here to you for now," Gapar said to Leon cheerfully, "Thank you for your hard work these past two days. I'll teach you my new combat skills later."

In fact, it is a secret fighting skill learned from the Warrior Country.

"Teacher, please go ahead and do your work. I'll leave this to you."

Even if there is no reward, Leon will help.

But.

The next day, watching the father and daughter re-entering the Sen dungeon, he thought about it all night but still couldn't figure it out.

How did these two people reconcile?
One of the main reasons that keeps Yuffie moving forward is to do things that surpass her father's.

And Gapar's previous words, which pretended to be a declaration of war, were actually an indirect recognition of Yufei's efforts over the years. Neither of them said it explicitly, but they both knew it very well.

The words that I had been holding back for so many years actually didn't seem so difficult to say after being prompted by a real accident.

But after a night of thinking, Gapar realized that if the Sean Dungeon had not "happened" to appear when Red turned the tide, he would never have been able to say these words to Yuffie in his lifetime.

So if you don’t want to have regrets in the future, it’s better to say some things as early as possible.

After entering the Thane dungeon, the first thing that shocked Yufei was——

"So I can go to the Kingdom of Anor?"

The gate to the Hunter's Dream is directly connected to the Firelink Shrine. Leon and the others had already told him about it, but this was the first time Yuffie saw it with her own eyes.

The people on Red's side subconsciously thought that being able to travel between the two countries through the dungeon was a privilege for foreign adventurers like Leon, so no one even tried to go to Anor. This sounds ridiculous, but it is indeed a real thing.

After all, even Yufei could be infected by parasites because of carelessness, so it is not surprising that there are more makeshift teams in this world.

The Firelink Shrine seemed to have a magical power that could calm people's mood. Even Berserkers could find peace here. The surrounding scenery also made Yufei feel novel, but the most novel thing to her was Japar.

"Yufei, come here," Gapar called Yufei over enthusiastically at a cliff, pointing to the cemetery below the cliff and said, "Guess what's underneath?"

"Light spot?" Yu Fei asked in confusion. She remembered hearing somewhere that the Firelink Shrine was an absolutely safe place.

Then the next second she was kicked down.

"Kakala--" A bunch of skeletons suddenly crawled out from the cemetery next to the Firelink Shrine and pounced towards her who had not yet figured out the situation.

"The correct answer is, there is a monster hidden inside!" Japar said with a wicked smile, looking like a real naughty old boy.

"Old man, I'm going to skin you alive!" Yufei's roar came from below.

The goal of the two is to challenge the boss of the Sen dungeon [The Full Moon Queen's Replica Teardrop]. If they win, there is a chance to obtain a special teardrop larva, which can not only reset points like ordinary teardrop larvae, but also change a person's appearance. This effect is quite powerful, and it should be able to change Yuffie's alien appearance.

Fortunately, apart from a bunch of exoskeletons, she still maintains a humanoid body shape and is still within the modification range of the teardrop larva.

But after taking Yufei into the Senn dungeon, Japar became more excited than ever before?
"Daughter, look, this is the food area. Do you see the mud-like creature in front? It's called Ditto. Go poke it and try."

"Haha, see, it turns into your appearance, isn't it funny!"

"Youfei, are you hungry? Let me give you a try of this electric banana. It's crispy and numb and really delicious."

"Hehehe, eat it, how do you feel now, how do you feel now!"

Yuffie, whose whole body was paralyzed by the 100,000-volt electricity contained in the electric banana, also felt numb in her heart.

After that, Japar did a series of things including but not limited to:

Tell Yufei that the big iron ball is a harmless tool used by the ancients to practice running, that if you lubricate the puppet soldiers, you will receive their thanks, and that the mist sprayed by terrestrial tunicates can beautify your skin.

Kalia Knight Mugram and Seamo Magician are both weak in melee combat, the lobster has no ranged attack, and Torina Water Lily is very delicious when eaten raw.
Just like a child showing off his proudest and most beloved toy, Gapar walked from Lake Lienia to the Rhea Lukalia School of Magic, telling Yuffie with great relish and in detail the interesting details of every creature and even building, occasionally with a bit of his own bad taste.

But this kind of bad taste is a psychological state that will appear in everyone who has been in the Sen dungeon for a while. Generally speaking, they just want to see the newcomers get into trouble, and the Swordmaster is no exception.

Yuffie had learned her lesson and remained extremely vigilant, refusing to do anything that Gapar recommended her to do.

She was a little annoyed when she was "tricked" at first, but she became more and more relaxed later, and now she can even laugh with Japar.

What kind of mentality is this? Yufei herself didn't know, but it was like visiting an amusement park with her father after a long absence, although this amusement park was a little more exciting.

Since her mother's death, her father has been depressed for several years and has been indifferent to everything, including her.

Later, Gapar got over the shadow of his wife's death and became obsessed with studying magic everywhere. He still rarely paid attention to Yufei. It was probably at that time that the two gradually stopped talking to each other. Later, Yufei went out to travel, and the father and daughter did not see each other for a long time.

This was definitely something that Japar did wrong, but did he realize it?

Judging from the fact that he seemed to be laughing heartlessly but was actually carefully observing Yufei's reaction and racking his brains to take her to play fun things, he not only realized his mistake but was also trying hard to make up for it.

Dad, you can't please me just by relying on this day. Yu Fei also noticed something, and the corners of his mouth rose, thinking to himself:
You have to repeat today at least ten times, a hundred times, or a thousand times!

The two of them know everything in their hearts, but they just don't say it, and they can still heartlessly deceive each other.

This father-daughter relationship is even stranger than Leon and Teppi.

Perhaps it was because of Gapar's demonstration, or perhaps it was because Sean was really interesting, Yuffie seemed to really like this place slowly, otherwise she wouldn't have said something like repeating today a hundred times.

"Sean is interesting, isn't he?" Japar said as he stood in front of the Full Moon Queen's teardrop boss venue and prepared to challenge the boss with dozens of people. "Do you want to stay here? You can encounter different interesting things every day. There are many interesting places here that I haven't introduced to you."

Yufei showed a hint of desire, but soon shook her head and said, "There are some things in the Warrior Country waiting for me to deal with. I can't stay here to enjoy myself. I am serious about the things over there."

"That's a pity," Gapar shrugged helplessly, "But that country does seem to have some problems, but I'm not in a position to intervene."

But Yuffie smiled and added:
"If the Thane Dungeon can expand to the Warrior Kingdom, I can consider coming here every day."

Japar also smiled and said, "You have a nice idea. Why don't you shout out here and see if Sean will respond to you?"

As a result, under the astonished gazes of passers-by, Yufei really shouted to the sky:
"Sean, you have the guts to drive to the Warrior Country!"

The sound made Rhea Lukalia seem to tremble.

I don’t know if the people in the Sean Dungeon heard it.

Later, perhaps because of the principle of hard work comes happiness, after encountering a series of bad things, Yuffie finally got lucky and soon obtained the special teardrop larvae that could change one's appearance. She successfully transformed the alien body covered with an exoskeleton back to normal human appearance.

But there is a small problem, that is, the Insect King seems to have left her some useful things, which did not disappear with her rebirth, and it is unknown whether they are good or bad.

At the same time when Yuffie got rid of her insect body, a piece of news came that made many adventurers eager to try.

The new area, Yharnam, is finally open to the public.
