Who designed this underworld dungeon?.

Chapter 541 Greg's Dark History

"How will you be here?"

As soon as Fan En asked this question, he suddenly remembered that the other party's summoning talisman was placed at the gate of Stonewell City, so there was a high probability that he would enter the city.

"It's a long story."

Roger's body trembled unnaturally, and he looked injured. He smiled bitterly and said:

"I was hiding from the soldiers and had found a safe place, but there was a pretty big explosion outside, which led to me being discovered and I had to run all the way here."

He sighed, pointed to the limb-transplanting noble next to him, and said:

"When I got here, this guy was injured after hitting the wall due to the explosion. I had no choice but to fight him. Fortunately, I won in the end. But as you can see, I was injured and can only hide here for the time being."

"By the way, do you have any idea about the explosion?"

All he got was an eerie silence.

Yu Fei and the others looked left and right, all with embarrassed expressions on their faces.

Then they all chose to remain silent on the matter.

The big commotion they made could actually affect the afterimage. This was absolutely unimaginable in the past. In the old area of ​​​​Sion, unless you actively attacked, the afterimage would not be affected by the flood from the outside.

But now the afterimage will react to external movements, which gives people a strange feeling.

Yuffie thought about it and finally understood what this felt like: it was as if the Thane dungeon was also evolving!
The adventurers were making progress, and for some unknown reason, the Sen Dungeon was also making progress, even taking much bigger steps than the adventurers.

This should be a good thing, right?

"By the way, I asked you earlier why you entered Stonewell City," Roger said, "You, should be coming for Great Rune, right?"

People nodded calmly.

"Sure enough, I knew it, it was a remarkable act."

With emotion in his tone, he said:
"I am also a Faded One, but I haven't seen any guidance from the Blessing for a long time." He paused and said, "I happen to know a few combat techniques related to magic. Would you like to learn them? Perhaps they will help you in the challenges you will face next."

After he said that, everyone became interested. They said they were learning combat skills, but in fact they were exchanging runes for battle ashes with the other party. However, everyone had quite a lot of runes along the way, so they were not poor at all.

Edgar frowned when he heard the words "magic-related combat skills" and was the first to ask what combat skills he could learn.

In fact, there are not many, only three, namely the war gray version of [Pyroxene Demon Gravel], [Kalia Greatsword] and [Spinning].

While people were choosing, Edgar took the war gray version of the pyroxene magic gravel and went to the side to tinker with it.

"What are you doing?" Vann asked, leaning over.

"I'm testing," Edgar tried to analyze the composition of the war ash, but found nothing. His wisdom could not understand what principle it was formed on, but there was one thing he could confirm.

This war-gray version of the pyroxene magic gravel is exactly the same as the magic version, there will be no difference!

His brows furrowed even deeper, and he muttered to himself, "Turning magic into combat skills?"

"This kind of thing." A strange light flashed in his eyes, and his emotions suddenly became a little agitated. "I can't accept this kind of thing."

Whether it is the improvement of his teacher Yuenka or the war gray version of magic by Sean, it seems that they can achieve the same purpose, which is to allow pure warriors to use magic.

However, the paths to achieve the goal are different, and the forms are even more different.

He can only accept magic in a purer form, rather than any combat skills!

Vann silently stepped back from him and said nothing more. From the beginning he felt that Edgar was a mysteriously arrogant person and not someone who was easy to approach.

On the other side, Yufei and others spent some of the rune (burden) on him, and pointed to the portrait of Godfrey on the wall and asked: "Do you know him? We don't know much about these."

"Is there a fader who doesn't know him? That's rare."

Although he was surprised, Roger explained to them seriously:
"Golfrey was the first Elden King in the Golden Law Era, so he was called the Initial King. He had made great military achievements and conquered all the way, spreading the Golden Law to all places in the border area. He was a well-deserved king. Even General Ratan, the Starbreaker, admired him."

If he had only talked about Godfrey's heroic deeds, people would not have been impressed. But when he mentioned that Latan also admired him, everyone immediately felt that this original king was an extraordinary person.

"He and Queen Marica gave birth to a son, 'Golden' Godwin, and later the Golden Clan with his bloodline was born. Greg was one of them, but because of his distant blood relationship, his strength was low, so he fled the royal city and hid in this city of Stonewell."

Why are there comments about Greg not being good enough again? Yufei couldn't help but ask:

"What is the strength of this Greg?"

"Him," Roger nodded, then shook his head, which confused everyone.

"I haven't fought with him, I've only heard some rumors," he looked at the hanging limbs and said, "Ever since retreating to Stonewell City, Greg has been pursuing power. He has performed a cruel limb-replacement ritual, which is to connect other people's limbs to his own body, hoping to gain powerful strength. You have seen those limb-replacement nobles, Greg's appearance may be no different from them." As soon as these words came out, people all frowned. No matter how you look at it, limb-replacement is a crooked way of doing things. They cannot accept it. It is even more different from the demigod they imagined.

"How strong is the power brought by the limb graft?" You Fei continued to ask, his brows furrowed so sharply that they could crush someone to death.

"If you really want to know, I heard some things from Lord Hyde that may serve as a reference."

In a rigorous spirit, Roger said:
"Grek gained strength from the limb graft and worked hard to learn Storm's techniques. He also obtained the central magic ring because of the legitimacy of his bloodline, and his strength increased greatly."

"However, after the Shattering War, General Latan of the Shattered Star returned to Galid with his damaged army and needed to borrow a passage from Nimgefu, but Greg closed the city gates and did not dare to step out of the city."

Yuffie didn't know what to say anymore.

"Later, Marlenia, also passed by here. Perhaps because she looked down on him because he was a woman, Greg chose to take action this time."

"The results of it?"

Roger shook his head, and the result was self-evident.

"Greck returned in defeat. In order to save his life and his people, he knelt down and licked Marennia's feet and begged for forgiveness."

Yufei was speechless, Yufei was silent, and Yufei was relieved.

She finally figured something out, and said with a regretful smile, "The title of demigod isn't actually based on strength, right?"

Roger nodded as a matter of course. "Those who possess the blood of Queen Marica are qualified to be called demigods."

Now not only Yufei was relieved, but Fann and the others were relieved as well.

The good news is that the demigods in their understanding are different from the demigods in the Sen dungeon, and the value of the demigods in their understanding has not decreased.

The bad news is that they, who had been speculating on how powerful Greg was, now seemed to have a red nose on their faces.

Roger seemed to see what they were thinking and said:

"I think that no matter how derogatory the outside world's evaluation of Greg is, he is still a shard king after all, a descendant of the Golden Clan, and his strength should not be underestimated."

"Well, we don't mean to look down on him," said Vann. "Rather, if he goes to this extent for power, it shows a different kind of perseverance."

"So his purpose is to return to the so-called royal city?" Tepi's eyes seemed to be thinking about something.

"should be."

Roger looked at Godfrey's portrait and said:

"No matter what, that is his hometown after all. Everyone wants to go back there."

This sentence touched Tepi, and his expression changed, but it was not emotion, but another emotion.

Oh no, I haven’t been back to my hometown for a long time, and I haven’t sent any money home. I don’t know how my wife is doing!

This person seems to forget a lot of things when he is busy with his career.

After listening to Roger's story, Yuffie and his companions were filled with thoughts. They had a deeper understanding of this world that had reappeared in the dungeon at an unknown time, and many of their previous unfounded speculations were overturned, such as that Greg was actually super strong.

Almost all the information heard from Roger was negative about Greg. Even though there were a few seemingly bright spots - such as kneeling down to lick the boots of Marlennia in order to protect his subordinates, although this was also his own fault because he attacked the other side first - it could not cover up the overwhelming bad news.

It seems that Greg has a bad reputation and might even become a target of ridicule.

However, Yufei did not arbitrarily judge that Greg was an irredeemable scumbag because of this. She always felt that rumors heard before actual contact with a person should not be fully trusted.

Vann, on the other hand, had some feelings about "returning home". He should be the one who is most obsessed with his hometown among the group.

He asked one last question:
"Do you know where to find Greg?"

"nature."

Soon after.

Passing through the slaughterhouse where limbs were being reattached, crossing the square where only a few soldiers were left, and looking at the fog gate that was right in front of them, everyone was ready.

"let's start."

Yufei walked up first and stretched out her hand towards the fog gate.

As long as you touch it, a strange scene will slowly unfold before your eyes.
