Dungeon Designer: Bringing Smiles to the World!

Let's rewind to two days ago.

Inside the city lord's mansion in Leman City.

A crystal ball was presented to the nominal ruler of this place, the lord of Leman City, Leman Ruth the Frostfang Wolf.

Lehman Russ was tall and muscular, with blond hair and a wolf fur cloak, giving him an extremely unrestrained appearance.

Nearby, a magician had already activated the crystal ball that recorded the images.

The image was projected into the air, accompanied by a dragon's roar that shook the very soul.

The gluttonous dragon stretched out its terrifying form.

"Is this the dragon that's been rumored to have appeared in the dungeon lately?"

Seeing this, Riemann Russ asked with great interest.

"Yes, sir," the mage replied. "This dragon resides in the level 2 [Taifa Dungeon]. According to the information gathered by adventurers, this dragon is called the Gluttonous Demon Dragon."

"Dragon..." Leman Russ considered the word carefully: "[Taifa Dungeon], I remember the lord of that city was an old lich."

"Yes, but we don't know the other party's real name, nor do we know if that lich has a title."

Long before the establishment of Leman City, Horak and the [Taifa Dungeon] had already stood on the Katachon Wasteland. He was usually inconspicuous and naturally no adventurers could gather any information about him.

Seeing that the city lord was still staring at the gluttonous dragon on the screen, the mage couldn't help but ask, "My lord, you wouldn't be planning to...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Lehman Russ, of course, understood what the other person meant. He laughed loudly, "Don't worry, I'm too old for that. Even if I wanted to slay a dragon, I wouldn't have the strength."

"This...you're joking, sir."

The magician was somewhat embarrassed and changed the subject.

"Sir, what are your plans regarding this dragon?"

"Don't worry about it." Leman Russ's words were somewhat unexpected for the magician.

The city lord's tall figure stood by the window, looking at the bustling city of Leman: "Recently, many adventurers have become complacent. Having a dragon fall can motivate them."

"Yes."

The magician retrieved the crystal ball from the table and then took out another crystal ball.

"Both the Dorne Dungeon and the Taifa Dungeon have recently undergone significant changes. The environment and the types of monsters within the dungeons have changed drastically, which is speculated to be due to a change in the dungeon lord."

"Just this little thing?" Leman Russ picked up the huge wooden goblet and downed the beer in one gulp.

The magician didn't speak, but simply activated the new crystal ball again.

In ancient times, before the world was divided, it was shrouded in a great fog.

All around were gray rocks and towering trees…

Yes, indeed...

That is Lothric, the homeland of the Lords who passed on the Flame, and a place where wanderers converge.

Therefore, the pilgrims all headed north and learned the meaning of the prophecy…

After silently reading through the contents, Riemann Russ frowned slightly.

The mage beside him added at the opportune moment: "This is a story from the [Taifa Dungeon] and the [Dorn Dungeon], which every adventurer who enters these two dungeons will see."

At the same time, adventurers will also find fragments explaining the story in the dungeon.

Many adventurers also claim to have seen living people in these two dungeons who called themselves merchants and sun knights.

The association is compiling this information.

besides……"

At this point, the mage paused, glanced at the city lord's expression, and carefully said, "Since the anomalies that occurred in these two dungeons, not a single adventurer team has successfully cleared them yet."

With each additional word he spoke, Riemann Russ's brow furrowed more deeply.

Finally, upon hearing the 0% success rate, he snorted coldly and slammed his wine glass on the table.

"Thump!"

Immediately, the entire city lord's mansion trembled slightly.

"Hmph, just another trick from those underground guys."

Lehman Russ immediately ordered: "Assemble the teams that have made the deepest progress in exploring these two dungeons and have them launch a joint expedition."

It's quite embarrassing that no one has cleared a level 1 dungeon and a level 2 dungeon yet.

"yes!"

The magician straightened his back: "I'll go and give the order right away."

After saying that, the magician left the room in a flash.

Lehmann Russ was left alone in the enormous room, still watching the two stories playing repeatedly in the crystal ball...

……

In a hotel in Leman City, the five members of the Silver Grey Squad gathered.

"Captain, are we really going to team up with these rookies for this expedition?" The team's sharp-tongued mage, Dylan, looked at Captain Galahad, pointing at the [Ember Squad] sitting opposite them.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Upon hearing this, Alyssa on the other side immediately became displeased, waving her fist and shouting, "Who are you calling a newbie! Don't think you can get away with this just because you're a high-level mage!"

Dylan ignored Alyssa and just looked at Captain Garaton, wanting an explanation.

"This is a mission issued by the association, requiring the teams that have made the deepest progress in exploring the [Dorn Dungeon] and [Taifa Dungeon] to conduct a joint exploration."

Galadon took out a mission command bearing the city lord's emblem from his pocket.

"Just those few? They've made the deepest progress in exploring the [Taifa Dungeon]?"

Dylan was clearly skeptical. He had also heard rumors of dragons appearing in the [Taifa Dungeon], so he didn't think the four members of the [Ember Squad] could possibly harm that dragon.

"Oh dear, some guys have never even seen a dragon themselves. They'd probably pee their pants if they did, and they still have the nerve to doubt others?"

Elisa mocked in a sarcastic tone.

Dylan frowned, about to say something more, but was stopped by Lia, the archer in the group.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Joel also grabbed Alyssa, his face beaming, "Oh, oh, harmony brings wealth, right? After all, it's a mission assigned by the association, and all we have to do is complete it, isn't that right?"

Facing the renowned SilverAsh Squad, Joel adopted a humble attitude, knowing that his side was far inferior to them in both strength and reputation.

"snort."

With a cold snort, Dylan fell silent and turned to glare at the priest Horn in the group. The reason was simple: Horn had cast a silencing spell on him.

"Mr. Joel is right." Horn once again took over the role of the team's microphone: "What we need to do is complete the association's mission. The reason we called the four of you out today is to discuss the next joint exploration plan."

At this point, Horn glanced at the four members of the [Ember Squad].

Low-level mage Elisa, mid-level swordsman Joel, low-level priestess Grace, and high-level assassin River.

"I wonder who the captain of the [Ember Squad] is?"

"Well……"

Now it was Elisa's turn to look at each other in bewilderment.

They had never actually appointed a squad leader before, which was quite absurd.

"Hold on."

Joel quickly pulled the remaining three members of the team to a slightly farther distance away: "Who should be the captain?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Elisa and Joel pointed at River at the same time, while Grace pointed at Elisa.

"Two against one, then let Miss Rivers..."

Joel looked at River, but she shook her head and refused the position: "No, I won't be the captain."

"Um...can we ask why?" Elisa and Joel were both curious.

"It's all in the past." Rivers clearly had no intention of explaining.

Somewhat embarrassed, Joel and Alyssa could only stare at each other, neither of them wanting to be captain!

Because being a team leader means having a lot of work to do!

So in the end, both of them looked at the seemingly harmless Grace standing to the side.

I've decided on you!

Go for it, Grace!
