Who designed this underworld dungeon?.

Chapter 592 Prompting the Sun Warriors
Outside the Siege Dungeon, in Blackrock City.

Near the portal to the Sien dungeon, a well-equipped adventurer supply station has been built, complete with various supply shops and, most importantly, a tavern, ensuring that adventurers feel right at home as soon as they emerge.

At this very moment, in the tavern closest to the portal, a burly young man was drinking while observing the adventurers coming and going near the portal.

He is the third prince of the Warrior Kingdom, Temud.

The iron-blooded traditionalists vowed to make traditional warriors shine in the upcoming war festival.

Therefore, he is now exploring a way out for traditional warriors in this new era.

"Will the Sien Dungeon be our new hope?"

The icy liquor stimulated his senses, and he shook his head again, muttering to himself:
"While the teachings of that lingering figure named Bernal can certainly increase the speed at which people learn combat skills, even faster than before the decline of newborn talents, if we really want to pin the revival of traditional warriors on this, it means that the Warrior Kingdom will be deeply bound to this underground city from now on."

"No matter how stable the Sien Dungeon may seem now, the connection between the fate of the nation and the dungeon always evokes a sense of unease."

"Isn't there a safer way, such as restoring the newborn's warrior talent?"

Temud grew increasingly distressed as he spoke, and then tilted his head back to gulp down a large glass of wine.

Those around him cast strange glances, because they had overheard what he said.

While discussing national affairs in taverns is an adventurer's daily task, why does this guy's tone sound like "the future of the Warrior Kingdom depends on me"?

Who does this guy think he is?

Yes, even though Temud is more well-known and respected among the people than Langler, no one here would recognize him.

because
No one would mistake a shut-in whose clothes are covered with images of popular female characters from the Dungeon of Sien for the most manly third prince in their country!
There was no need for disguise magic at all; Temud's outrageously nerdy clothes were the best disguise, and no one recognized him all day.

If you were to ask him why he would still wear this outfit after leaving Princess Serene,

There's only one answer: the Bedd family's textile technology is quite good, so even clothes that are clearly not everyday wear are very comfortable to wear, and Temud is too lazy to change.

If we were to say what he gained most during his time in the Kingdom of Anor besides the "spirit of warriors," it would probably be the sense of relaxation that comes with being a royal city dweller.

In an environment where even the tavern waiters were dressed in fine clothes, and bronze-level adventurers were willing to spend money to make themselves fancy and magnificent armor, he, who was only wearing a simple shirt, looked so unrefined. He didn't look like a rich person at all, and starting to drink heavily in broad daylight, he was definitely an idler.

"Only after traveling abroad and coming back can I feel how glaringly extravagant the atmosphere is in China."

He frowned. The tavern was filled with glittering jewelry and clothing. Could one really go on an adventure wearing such clothes?
Even the beggars squatting outside the tavern have to find cheap, low-quality jewelry to hang around their necks. If even beggars are like this, what about the richer people? No wonder the Warrior Kingdom has become the biggest destination for luxury goods.

Where did this trend come from?

Temud frowned and tried to recall carefully, but unfortunately he didn't have a very clear memory of it.

It seems that the most eye-catching moment of this extravagant trend coincides somewhat with the decline in the talents of newborns.

"I'm overthinking it. How could these two completely unrelated things possibly be connected?"

He shook his head and looked towards the portal, where some adventurers dressed much more simply were wandering around; it was obvious they came from the Kingdom of Anor.

Simple clothes look the most comfortable and are much more pleasing to the eye.

Upon seeing the adventurers from the Kingdom of Anor, Temud was reminded of his experiences there with the delegation—a truly bittersweet memory.

He spent almost all those days in the underground city of Sien. If that's the case, people can probably imagine what he went through, so there's no need for a detailed explanation.

The entire delegation, including him, worked tirelessly to level up their souls, seizing every second to increase their strength, all in order to defeat the reformists at the war festival.

Because the current situation is too unfavorable for traditionalists, they can't figure out where the future lies for those who insist on tradition, so they can only bury themselves in their training and take it one day at a time.

So far, they have learned a lot and seen many things that, upon closer examination, might not be so good.

The most feared force in the entire Sien dungeon wasn't monsters or invaders, but something no one could imagine—

Sun Warrior.

Everyone loves the helpful older brothers and sisters of the Sun Warriors. Suddenly encountering the Sun Warrior's summoning talisman in the midst of an adventurous and desperate situation is a truly delightful surprise that will make you scream with joy.

Temud initially held the group in high regard.

Until he witnessed a certain Sun Warrior unleash his signature move, "Thunder Spear."

In that instant, I witnessed the spear formed from lightning.

He showed extreme resistance, disgust, resentment, and even fear towards the Thunder Spear from the inside out!

When he came to his senses, he was surprised at himself for feeling such hostility towards a simple "magic." Even stranger, the others in the group experienced the exact same emotions, especially the dragons. It was strange; this situation was completely incomprehensible.

Later, everyone conducted a series of experiments and found that no one was afraid of lightning magic. They then asked the Sun Warrior to unleash the lightning spear, but no one reacted. Only when they first saw the lightning spear did they develop that strange hostility.

Temud has remembered this strange incident to this day.

"Is that Lanler's attendant over there?"

He suddenly saw a person dressed in a way that could only be described as glamorous pacing anxiously near the portal, glancing at his pocket watch every now and then before continuing to pace back and forth.

It's like anxiously waiting for a late date.

Upon seeing Lanler's attendant, Temud recalled what he had recently heard.

It is said that the Skyrim conquest team that caused chaos and left behind a legend of divine beings in Blackrock City was recruited by Lanler and even sent to the Sien Dungeon to carry out a mission. Temud's people also found out the exact date when the Skyrim conquest team entered the dungeon.

That day happened to be the day when a minor anomaly occurred in the Sien Dungeon, which suddenly changed from closing time to being open 24/7.

"If I remember correctly, it's been a while since those adventurers entered the dungeon."

Temudmo stroked his freshly shaved chin and muttered to himself:
"Three days have passed?"

"If they linger inside for a few more days, the war festival will have already begun by the time they come out."

------------

Because most of the soldiers defending the city had died, it didn't take much time for the group to retake the city, and the whole process was quite smooth.

Although everyone has been tormented in the Sien Dungeon for a long time, they seem rather weak.

But in reality, their actual strength has improved significantly compared to before.

Take a C-rank ordinary Forge Knight as an example.

It took the combined efforts of the exploration team that first cleared the Sien Dungeon to defeat it. At that time, the team included Leon's strategy group, the elf Stilan, the Holy Knight, and others.

However, the Sien Dungeon has now undergone countless updates and upgrades, and the strength of adventurers who have been immersed in the dungeon for years has also been updated with the version changes.

The Forge Knight from back then was no longer an obstacle for Leon's strategy team that required repeated deaths to overcome; completing the game in one life was not a big problem.

While the Skyward Strategy Team might be slightly weaker than Leon's, dealing with C-rank monsters is still no problem. Yuffie can even defeat C-rank monsters in a one-on-one fight, and she remained a key player even when fighting against Grek, who had been enhanced to reach B-rank.

If today's adventurers were to travel back in time, they would absolutely crush their younger, more naive selves.

There's no way around it, the campfire upgrade is just that powerful.

Upon closer reflection, it becomes clear that what has caused Yuffie and her companions to suffer setbacks and even death so far has not been the overwhelming power of the monsters, but rather some unexpected and sinister schemes.

The adventurers were killed before they could even unleash their full power, and their frustration was palpable.

However, adventurers shouldn't feel this stifled in Red Lion City this time, as they can fully unleash their power here.

If the signboard in a place like Stoneville is considered excellent architectural design...

So Red Lion City's main focus is on exhilarating combat!

"What the hell is going on with this Forge Knight, you bastard?!"

Luluwo's ​​roar echoed from the depths of Red Lion City.

"Why is he so much stronger than the one I fought before?!"

Deep within Red Lion City, behind the fog gate symbolizing the leader, lies a devastated battlefield.

The Forge Knights, Blood Nobles, and Lion Hybrids were chasing after Luluvo, while the surrounding area was already littered with other adventurers who had collapsed from exhaustion.

As the only remaining survivor on the field who could still move, Luluwo had already shown an expression of exhaustion and could no longer hold on.

"Jeremy!"

Before the Forge Knight could catch up and slash her in the back, Luluwo shouted angrily at the old man watching them from the city wall:

"Don't let me go up there and catch you!"
