Who designed this underworld dungeon?.

Chapter 581 Distorted Light Wall
"Temud? Is that really you?"

Lanle felt as if he had seen a ghost. Looking at the smiling man in front of him holding the mask of the Son of Platinum, he could not believe that this was his younger brother Temud.

It’s really hard to blame for his feelings, because Temud’s whole body is full of things he wants to complain about.

Putting aside the Platinum Son's hood, why is he wearing a simple, not-at-all-gorgeous shirt? There is also exquisite embroidery on the shirt, clearly a beautiful woman with four hands and blue skin.

If Lanler wasn't blind, the woman should be Princess Lani of the Moon! And the shirt also reproduced the portrait hanging in the Rhea Lukalia School of Magic!
Not only that, there are a lot of medals pinned on the shirt, and a quick glance reveals many popular monsters and afterimages from the Senn dungeon.

The pants seem to be the fan-made style of the Fran Undead Squad produced by Bedard, and the copper-headed leather belt is engraved with Fran Old Wolf.

In addition to these normal-looking clothes, he also has some incomprehensible small accessories on his body. This outfit may not be close to God, but it is very far from being a human.

Lanler was choked and speechless for a long time. He didn't know how to complain about Temud's outfit.

He looks like a nerd who has come back from a comic convention with a ton of stuff! ?
What hell did you crawl back from? The hell that filled the area surrounding the Thane dungeon?

If Lanler had a little more joyful personality, he would probably have to hold the other person's thigh and ask where my brother was going?
Where did the Temud, who was serious, longing for war and glory, and always demanded that he had no hobbies in military discipline, went?

Lanle thought about it and raised his hand to throw the [Human Identification Technique] on the other party. He had to confirm whether the other party was a varied and strange thing.

This spell that looked like a light bullet quickly rushed in front of the smiling Temud. Even though this magic would not cause any substantial damage, it was still quite scary to be hit suddenly. If it were the Temud of the past, he would have dodged it quickly and then became furious.

Lanler hopes to use familiar brother quarrels to awaken the stupid brother he had known before.

However, this time, Temood stood there without moving.

Just as he was about to be hit by magic, his left arm suddenly turned into a shadow and swung forward violently.

A light effect like gold powder exploding suddenly appeared in front of him. In an instant, the trajectory of [Human Identification Technique] was suddenly changed by an external force, and it deflected and hit the servant beside Temud!
The servant's body twisted and melted, and his tall and strong body slowly turned into a pink Ditto.

Temud took out the red and white balls and put away the ever-changing monster, still looking at Lanle with a smile.

"what"

Lanler didn't know where to start complaining. Whether it was the opponent's move of deflecting magic or the servant turning into Ditto, both were full of flaws.

In the end, he chose to complain about the most important one.

"Tops' force field!?"

Lanler was so surprised that his eyes widened and he pointed at Temud's hand with disbelief.

In his knowledge, the only magic that could deflect magic was the god-level magic like Tops' force field. Why did Temud get such a precious thing?

And this thing seems to be disposable, why should I use it against my little human identification skill?

My brother has become a prodigal son!

"Lan Le, has traveling around the country every day narrowed your horizons?"

Temud smiled and said something very mean, lifted his left arm, where a small shield was tied to his wrist. Because it was too small, it felt like there was no difference between it and his handguard.

"The move I used against you just now is called [Twisted Light Wall]"

And it is the war gray version attached to this small shield.

【Twisted Light Wall】

[The lost magic of the ancient golden magic kingdom - Urasil, which can distort light and deflect magic]

[It is a kind of secret technique that manipulates light. At the moment when the basic laws are twisted, all phantoms will lose their direction]

If there is someone here who has a deep understanding of the magic of the Sen Dungeon, he should be able to discover that this so-called twisted light wall has a name that appeared in the past.

It was one of the magics that King Elden referred to when he improved Tops' force field.

There was a time when researchers were still discussing what effects these magics used as references had, but now it seems that the effect of this distorted light wall is very similar to Topps' force field.

Lan Le's expression suddenly changed, and he asked in a slightly urgent tone: "Where did you get it from? Are there any restrictions on its use? The conditions for obtaining it are--"

"Don't worry, let's go in and talk."

Temud raised his hand and made a "please" gesture. Lanler paused and took him to the reception room. He was obviously the owner of this mansion, but now he felt that Temud was dominating the situation.

I'm really upset, but there are many things I want to know, so I can't argue for the time being.

After sitting down, he asked about the distorted light wall.

As if he was deliberately trying to get his appetite, Temud did not answer this question first, but asked back:
"Lanle, when did we start to believe in magic blindly?"

"What?" Lanler frowned, blindly believing in magic? He didn't
Wait, if it's ordinary people, there does seem to be such a trend.

Before he could answer, Temud continued to ask:

"What do you think would be the reaction of our magicians if they were the first to discover the existence of the twisted light wall in the dungeon?"

"That must be—"

They would definitely be panicked and feel a strong sense of crisis. If the conditions for learning and using this thing are not high, the magicians would be in danger for themselves, and even think about hiding the twisted light wall and never letting others find it, or try to destroy the Sen Dungeon?

Lanle was about to say this, but he stopped again when he spoke, because he suddenly realized that if he said this, he would be exactly what Temud wanted.

Even though they haven't seen each other for so long, the two brothers still turned on the familiar mutual pitfall mode.

"What do you want to say?" So Lan Le simply answered the question with a question.

"I already know your answer without you having to tell me. It's the same as what I thought."

Temood took off a badge with a large portrait of Topps on it and played with it, saying:

"This time, I followed the delegation to study in the Kingdom of Anor, which really allowed me to see many different things. We had fought a war, but I didn't know anything about that country. It was only now that I realized that the atmosphere in that country is completely different from ours."

Completely different?

A question mark popped up above Lan Le's head. What did "completely different" mean? He clearly remembered that the intelligence from countless spies sent to the Kingdom of Anor in the past two thousand years showed that the domestic atmosphere in the Kingdom of Anor was similar to that of the Warrior Kingdom. Various ancient traditions were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the atmosphere was quite serious and repressive.

How different can it be?
"That country is very happy. Both the people and the nobles are full of confidence and freedom."

Why did I hear about the uprising of villagers who were forcibly occupied by the Light Eagle Group and were completely destroyed last year? Lanler even his eyelids were pounding.

Temud spoke eloquently about the advantages of the Kingdom of Anor, and then used this to criticize the internal problems of the Warrior Kingdom, with a sad look on his face.

Lan Le was stunned by these words. Was this something his former Iron-Blooded War Wolf's younger brother would say?

"I see hope in the Kingdom of Anor, but our country has a bleak future. Until now, the country is still in chaos because of the controversy over magic and combat skills. How can we govern the country well if we stay with this group of bugs?"

Looking at Temud's appearance, Lanle suddenly remembered the rumors he had heard before.

It is said that during the Black Hawk Rebellion, Eliphis rioted with a large number of noble officials and other high-ranking figures. When the rebellion subsided, the royal family was seriously short of staff, and officials were promoted from the lower levels and even from the civilian population. In addition, Ainz III awakened and Princess Celine presided over it.

It seems that since then, the upper environment of the Yanor Kingdom suddenly became clear?

When he first heard about it, Lanler thought it was a joke. How could the political environment change so easily just because a group of people died? But now, seeing Temud's performance, he suddenly realized that the rumor could be true?
"Even the people there are much more open-minded than ours. Their speech and behavior are rarely inferior to those of educated nobles, especially those living near the royal city."

Temud changed the subject and said, "You don't know that I was the one who discovered the war gray form of this magic called the Distorted Light Wall. I found it and brought it back from Urasil in [Painting World: Wolf Knight]."

"It's really a hellish place. Not only Urasil, but the entire Thane dungeon is a living hell. It's hard to imagine that I could come back alive."

"When I brought it out, I was surrounded by magicians, including some high-level people certified by the Magic Association. Do you know how they reacted when they saw this magic?"

"have what?"

Lanler knew that he shouldn't have followed Temood's lead, but he couldn't resist his curiosity.

“They applauded each other, competed to learn, and even wanted to spread it widely.”

Temud raised his lips and continued, "It's a pity that this war ash is quite difficult to obtain and use. Even I had to practice hard to find the right angle to deflect the magic. It will definitely not be popularized in a short time."

"I found that when the magicians of that country saw the magic they had worked so hard to learn being deflected by the technology brought from the Thane Dungeon, there was no frustration in their eyes. Do you know why?"

Before the other party could answer, he spoke to himself:
"Because after seeing with their own eyes that god-like golden meteor being deflected by Tops' force field, they will never blindly believe in magic again! If they don't regard magic as a belief, then how can they be depressed even if it is deflected?"

"This thing is just a tool. Let's move on to a higher level of tools!"

Temood slammed the table like an Ace Attorney and said firmly:
"This situation of over-trust and even reliance on magic in our country is absolutely abnormal. Since I and everyone from the mission have returned, I must completely correct this unhealthy trend!"

His eyes were bright and full of confidence.

"You guys can expect to lose at next month's war festival!"

Lanler misjudged one thing.

From Temud's words and deeds that changed drastically after he came back just now, he thought that the other party had been brainwashed by the Kingdom of Yanor and became a superficial person who felt that the foreign air was sweeter and the foreign moon was rounder.

However, now he realized that his younger brother never seemed to have changed, and he could be said to have made progress.

He still cares so much about the Warrior Kingdom!
