Dungeon Designer: Bringing Smiles to the World!

"Guess why the Golden Dynasty built this underground tomb like this? It was so that the souls could better return to the tree."

As soon as he finished speaking, the teleportation chest activated, and Rogue and the other three were teleported again.

A moment later, their vision cleared, and the underground tomb reappeared before them.

Roger continued to lead the way, while still telling Leah, Horn, and Garadon the story of the Golden Dynasty.

"Cycles, this is the most crucial point of Queen Marika's Golden Law. Everything will cycle eternally under the light of the Golden Tree, until the end of time, forever."

This is why Marika is revered as the Eternal Queen.

Lia listened with great interest, perhaps because the ruler of the Elven race was a queen, which made her feel more connected to the story.

Although there are many powerful women in this world, very few can hold high positions or even possess a throne.

Rogge led the three of them on their way through the underground tombs, hacking the monsters they encountered into pieces with his Sun Sword.

Although it's a bit painful to see the losses, it's better to get rid of these big Buddha statues as soon as possible.

"You just mentioned that this tomb is the final resting place of soldiers and heroes who died in the war that led to the rise of the Golden Dynasty. Who were Queen Marika's opponents in that war?"

Unbeknownst to her, Lia had already approached Rogge.

This is not the kind of thing an archer should do, but she didn't seem to care much at the moment.

Upon hearing Lia's question, Rogge turned his head slightly to glance at the elven girl before answering:

"The change of ordinary dynasties is accompanied by the death of countless lives. To change the way the world works with one's own laws and establish an eternal golden dynasty will naturally attract countless enemies."

As for the specifics...

The Sky City Ancient Dragon Clan, though already in decline, remains powerful.

A race of giants who worship a one-eyed evil god and revere annihilation by flames.

Another divine being—the Night-Eyed Queen, who wields the power of destined death, and her followers, the Godskin.

Of course, there's also the Storm King of Storm City, the Horned People who believe in the power of the Spiral, and the rare remnants of the Eternal City...

At this point, Roger's tone was somewhat emotional.

"Too many lives were lost in the endless wars, and some races were even brought to the brink of extinction, only able to eke out a living after the establishment of the Golden Dynasty."

"It feels like I said something, but then again, I didn't really say anything..."

Overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information received in such a short time, Lia couldn't help but complain that Roger was spouting out far too many incomprehensible words.

It was at this moment that Galadun, who had been silent all along, suddenly interrupted.

Tell me about the giant race.

This is not surprising, as Galadon possesses the blood of giants.

Roger didn't rush to answer the other party, but instead led the three of them around a corner.

"here it is!?"

Lia exclaimed in surprise. Unbeknownst to them, they had returned to the place where they had just been teleported to, and a teleportation chest had appeared there at some point.

Rogge stepped forward and opened the teleportation chest, and the teleportation was activated again.

This time, the group returned to the previous tomb.

……

The second level of the Dorne Dungeon contains two almost identical tombs.

One of them can be called A, and the other can be called B.

Each tomb contains two teleportation chests, one visible and one hidden.

The teleportation chest located at the end of Tomb A can teleport you to the starting position of Maze B.

The teleportation chest at the end of Tomb B can teleport you back to the starting position in Tomb A.

This forms the most basic cycle.

Meanwhile, the hidden teleportation chests in tombs A and B will teleport people back to their respective tomb's starting location.

Each time you teleport, the tomb will reset to its initial state, clearing any markers.

This seemed like a complete dead end; the three members of the SilverAsh Squad were stuck in a loop, unable to escape the teleportation.

But in reality, Rogge did provide a way out.

First of all, the two tombs, A and B, are not exactly the same. With enough care or time, the differences can be found.

Next, the adventurers need to start from Tomb A, find the Dark Teleportation Chest in Tomb A, and then use it to teleport within Tomb A.

After being teleported, the adventurer must reach the end of Tomb A and use the teleportation chest to teleport to Tomb B.

Then repeat the above steps inside Tomb B to break free from this cycle.

To put it more simply: A dark → A light → B dark → B light → Exit.

It sounds complicated, but it's not that difficult once you understand the principles. It's more about testing the adventurer's attentiveness and patience.

Clearly, the three members of the SilverAsh Squad possess these two characteristics; given a little more time, they will eventually find their own way out.

But Rogge is here to shorten this time, so that these guys who don't contribute much negative emotional energy won't occupy his dungeon.

There's a huge line of adventurers waiting outside!

……

Roger continued to lead the three of them.

Where were we?

"The matter of the giants," Galaddon reminded them in a deep voice.

"Oh right." Roger slapped his forehead. "Maybe it's because I've died too many times, my memory's getting a bit fuzzy. Sigh, the loss of humanity."

He shook his head and continued his story.

"The giants live on the top of Mount Giant and have guarded the cauldron of fire that they use to worship the one-eyed evil god for generations."

Legend has it that the cauldron contains an ever-burning flame, a sacred object bestowed upon the giant race by the one-eyed evil god, allowing them to survive in the bitterly cold land.

Because of the annihilating flames, all the giants have red hair.

Galadon fell silent. Indeed, red-haired people made up the vast majority of the Titan race in this world.

Coincidence? Or is this guy who calls himself the Sun Knight deliberately making things up?

Galadon chose to continue listening.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the giant race will probably live peacefully forever on the isolated mountaintop of Giant Mountain."

Unfortunately, the Golden Dynasty believed that the Ash Flame posed a huge threat to the existence of the Golden Tree and even the Golden Law.

Thus, destruction befell the giant race.

Marika's husband, the king of the Wastelands, and the first King of Elden—the War King Grell—personally led the Golden Dynasty's army toward the summit of Mount Titan, thus beginning the Titan War.

In the end, the giant race was wiped out to the last member.

The Eternal Queen enslaved the last giant with her authority, making him guard the cauldron of flames that had been extinguished and only a few embers remained for eternity.

From then on, fire was considered an absolute taboo in the Golden Dynasty, and the summit of Giant Mountain was completely sealed off.

The threat of the Golden Tree vanished completely, and an eternal dynasty seemed to have been established.

After recounting that long-forgotten history, Rogge led the three of them back to the starting point of Tomb B.

"as if?"

Liya subconsciously pressed for an answer.

Rogge shook his head: "Nothing is eternal—not life, not dynasties, not laws, not gods, not the world."
