Who designed this underworld dungeon?

On the third floor of the Adventurer's Guild, West Germany's office.

The entire floor with soundproofing magic was quite quiet, and the noise from downstairs could not invade here at all. There was only the "rustling" sound made by assistant Gina's pen tip rubbing against the paper.

Stellan sat on the sofa, with steaming black tea and a pieced-together silver shield in front of her.

"It's a pity that there is no magic power on it anymore. Even if it is repaired, it is just an ordinary shield."

Sid shook his head. He was listening to Stellan's story about what happened during the crusade of ["Full Moon Queen's" cloned teardrops]. As a man who is considered an expert in magic, he would naturally be interested in [Topps's power]. Field], interested in this shield with that magic attached to it.

Seeing that it could not regain its former strength, I couldn't help but feel a pity.

But since the painting fragments can be obtained repeatedly, and Stellan also explained how to obtain them, it is only a matter of time before new paintings can be collected.

When the new paintings were assembled, West Germany decided to go in and take a look himself to see what the so-called "force field that deflects the gods" looked like.

It must be a scene comparable to myths and legends.

At this moment, Gina put down her pen and moved her shoulders as she said: "The background information about the new area 'Lienia of the Lake' has been compiled."

"Very good," Sid knocked on the wooden handrail. "Please read it again and I will listen."

"Yeah." Gina turned the file to the first page and put on her glasses.

"In an unknown time period, in a place called 'The Junction', the first magicians observed meteor showers on the snowy mountains, used this as the origin to understand the magic related to the stars, and established Realu The Kaliya Magic Academy is run by the Kaliya royal family.”

"There is a danger hidden in the magic brought by the stars. Excessive exposure to the origin of the stars will bring danger to the magicians, and even physical mutations. The magic masters Azler and Luset were expelled from the academy due to excessive exposure to the origin. , their follower, the magician Se Lian, who is also looking for the origin, is also wanted by the academy. "

"The strength of the academy has become stronger and stronger, the academic faction has risen, and the conflict with the royal family has continued to grow. It eventually turned into a war. There is no way of knowing which side will win the war, but since the Queen of the Full Moon, Lenora, is permanently stationed in Academy, maybe that means the royal family wins in the end.”

"During the war, or maybe after the war, the academy put a seal on the gate, and no one noticed that a common magician named Tops couldn't return."

"One day, the existence known as the Faded One - called the White Wolf by Ms. Stellan because of his clothes - met Tops, learned magic from him, and formed a deep relationship while finding a way to return to him. The key to the academy.”

"After parting ways with Tops, Bai Lang met Ser Lian and followed him to learn magic. After that, he broke into the academy and rectified Ser Lian's name. Afterwards, Ser Lian successfully returned to the academy and assumed the role of mentor."

"I'm afraid it was when he returned to the academy this time that White Wolf discovered Tops who studied magic to death, obtained his legendary magic, used it to humiliate the academy, and used Tops in a battle with a being suspected of being a god. Si's force field deflected the god's attack, completely proving the greatness of Tops' legacy."

"After that, the White Wolf became the 'King of Elden' whose meaning is currently unknown. He and the Moon Princess Lani took away the Full Moon Queen, and there has been no trace since, 'bringing a moment of peace to this world. peaceful'."

"These are the timelines summarized based on the information obtained so far. The information comes from the introduction of weapons, equipment, magic, the dictation of the sub-instructor hat, and"

In short, it is through the fusion of a lot of fragmented information that we can deduce such a relatively complete timeline.

"There are many doubts here, including what the King of Elden refers to, what tranquility means, and what exactly the 'thing' mentioned repeatedly behind the portraits of the mentors refers to."

"Isn't it Topps' force field?" Stellan said.

West Germany shook his head and said: "As far as the information currently known is concerned, the academy has two technologies that can deal with magic: [Kalia's Return] and [Renara's Full Moon]. If this is the case, then trust Puth's force field should not cause the academy to close itself off."

"So, either it has a hidden purpose that we don't know about, or 'that thing' refers to another existence. I am more inclined to the latter."

Stellan showed a helpless expression and said, "It's really troublesome to study these things."

"But that's the fun." Sid took a sip of hot tea and said, "Thank you for the information. As for the requirements you mentioned, are you really prepared?"

"I'm very strong mentally, so I can do it with confidence and boldness."

Stellan smiled indifferently and said: "Although it may sound a bit silly, I really want to make the teacher famous all over the world. Ahem, I mean to make Tops famous, so that people can see what he created. Something happened, his talent shouldn’t have ended like that.”

"With all due respect, it may not be a good thing to empathize with images in the world of painting."

"It doesn't matter. I witnessed Tops' story 'with my own eyes' and used his power to achieve glory in the end. Then he is my teacher and I am his student. There is no problem with that." Stellan He said calmly.

"Okay, then follow your ideas."

Cid did not continue to persuade, but said to his assistant Gina: "Go prepare the ceremony, the memory extraction magic ceremony."

Memory extraction magic, a kind of magic with a high risk factor and high threshold for use, can extract a certain memory of a creature into an image and seal it in the image stone.

Only a small group of people with the most subtle magic operations and the highest magic talent can use this magic, and there are certain requirements for the mental strength of the person being extracted. If the strength is too low and the ceremony cannot be carried out, it will lead to failure or even paralysis, which makes this magic of low practical value.

Stella has full confidence in her mental power and believes in Cid's magic attainments. The most important thing is-

She can't wait to let people see what happened in the painting world, and she has no patience to wait for the next person to find all the painting fragments!

It is estimated that her mentality now is exactly the same as Dahl, who couldn't wait to tell the story of Artorius after witnessing it.

She completely brought herself into the identity of "Tops's disciple".

One day later, an image called "Force Field of God Rejection" appeared in Bede City and began to be sold in the name of the guild. Along with it, there was also a method to obtain the relevant painting fragments.

Two days later, the number of images spread ushered in a wild growth. People competed to buy blank photo stones to reproduce this image, and the photo stones in the city were once out of stock.

Three days later, newspapers in the city competed to publish reports about Tops like sharks smelling blood. A wave of enthusiasm no less than that of Artorius appeared. The image began to spread rapidly outside the city, and its influence began to show.

Four days later, all areas completely covered by the influence of the Sean Underground City received this hopeful image. Because there were not enough photo stones in the surrounding area, someone began to organize public screenings of the image. All caravans began to urgently purchase photo stones, and the Bede family started to produce related peripherals as early as the next day.

Five days later, Tops was known to everyone, and "Force Field of God Rejection" became the most frequently mentioned word in recent days.

Six days later, in Kasuga City, Cangyin Dungeon, a couple who came here for tourism left the photo stone recording Tops' image here, and it was picked up by the city lord Heinis.

"What is this, a photo stone from the Sen Dungeon? Take a look!"

"Is this bald uncle the protagonist? He looks weak. What will he say?"

"I think he is pretty good, but he is a little too self-abased. I would be very happy to have a teacher with such a personality."

"Wow, teacher, why did you leave, teacher?"

"Wow, so handsome! The teacher's magic humiliates the great existence!"

Hannis's reaction is probably the common reaction of everyone who has seen the video, and it feels like a formula.

The azure force field and the golden meteors are the most profound impressions left by the image in the hearts of every viewer. The meteor that destroyed the world was deflected by the seemingly inconspicuous force field, and human wisdom rejected the power of the gods.

Some people who have dug deep into the images and dungeon information have found that the use requirements of the force field are very low, and the war gray version can be used by everyone. Farmers who work on the roadside can also use it to deflect the proud magic of the wizard master, even the magic of God!

This, this is the greatest part of Tops' force field! Human wisdom has won!

Perhaps it is precisely because Tops has mediocre talent that he can create technology that mortals can use. Which of the comparable Kalia Return and Full Moon can't be used by geniuses?

When this point was discovered, Tops was not only well-known among adventurers, but also welcomed by civilians.

Someone created a painting of a force field against the beast of Elden, but the protagonist wielding the force field was changed to Tops. I can only hope that the King of Elden will not mind this small change.

Only seven days have passed, and Tops has become a rising star after the old star Fran Undead Team.

However, some are happy and some are sad.

"What is the force field that deflects the gods? Nonsense!"

Not only the Church of Light, but also various organizations that believe in gods have reacted strongly to Tops' fame. This is considered to weaken the majesty of the gods, and they cannot accept it.

Even the Starfire Church that believes in the God of Fire Gwyn feels uncomfortable.

And the magicians also feel offended. Since the force field became famous, I always feel that people look at magicians with a subtle look, as if they look down on them.

Damn, even if the force field can deflect magic, so what? You can't get it, why do you look down on us! The magicians are holding back a rage in their hearts and can't let it out.

Disputes began to appear, but this kind of dispute is good for the Sion Dungeon, after all, the topic has increased.

So you can often see a young shopkeeper with black hair and black eyes stirring up trouble everywhere in the city. He has become an instigator. He must digest the potion very quickly (crossed out).

All this is in line with Stellan's expectations.

These days, she temporarily left the elves' team and became a sun warrior in Lake Lienia, but her goal is to help others obtain [Painting Fragment "Waste Stone"].

The effect of the image extracted from her mind is still a little bit worse. Only by witnessing the story in person can you feel the shock.

And today, among the people she helped, there was finally a person who collected the fragments and entered it.

It was the sword saint Japar.

The town in front of the college in the underground city of Sen.

"Dang, dang"

The sound of hammer forging came from next door. Stellan and Gapar sat on the floor in the room next to the blacksmith. The latter held a silver shield in his arms, which meant that he had entered the world of painting.

"Has Mr. Gapar used the teardrop larvae yet?" Stellan asked with a smile, "Is it time to call you the magic master?"

Gapar waved his hand, with a strange expression on his face.

"No, I haven't used it yet. How should I put it? My mood is a bit subtle now, especially..."

He knocked on the silver shield and sighed, "After watching those scenes, I always feel that magic is not so cool."

After witnessing the White Wolf using a force field to kill through the academy, deflecting all the cool-looking magic, and finally facing the Elden Meteor, Gapar's filter for magic was shattered. , was swept into the trash together with yearning.

All kinds of handsome long-range magic will be bounced away, but weapons formed by simple magic will not be affected by the force field. This

After he came out of the painting world, he looked at the [Kalia Great Sword] and [Haimo Great Hammer] in his hand and thought about it all night, and finally had to admit——

"I don't seem to want to be a magician that much anymore."

There was something indescribable about Gapar's expression, mixed with disappointment and frustration, but he also had an inexplicable feeling of being freed from the shackles of obsession.

The magic would be deflected, but the swordsmanship and body he had painstakingly trained would not.

It seems that he is more handsome in close combat, and the magic that can be deflected is not cool at all.

After noticing his appearance, Stellan almost laughed out loud. She might feel wicked when she said it, but she felt a little relieved in her heart. She didn't expect that Topps' force field would destroy the sword master who always wanted to be a magician. It brought me back to the "right path".

"Anyway, thank you for your help. If you hadn't told me, I might never have been able to find the first fragment, and I wouldn't have seen such a good situation." Gapar said sincerely.

"Then are you still here? I heard that you stayed in the dungeon just for the Teardrop Larvae." Stellan asked.

"It's time to go. After staying here for so long, I have almost forgotten my original purpose."

Gapar smiled and shook his head, "I decided to use the teardrop larvae to increase my intelligence by a few levels and be able to use a few magics. It can be regarded as the end of my youthful dream. As for when to leave."

He flexed his muscles and suddenly became energetic again.

"I plan to finish off the dreams of my lovely disciples first, and then leave when everything is over."

"Dream?" Stellan tilted her head.

Gapar stretched out a few fingers and said:

"Leon wants to hunt the golden lion, Malu wants a pair of beautiful double swords, Drew wants to exchange the force burst from the endless reincarnation, and Terr wants a useful sledgehammer."

"And Dar, this kid has everything he wants to do written all over his face. He just came to see me not long ago."

The sword master showed the expression of a kind old man, and he really looked like a good master who thought about his disciples.

"He asked to join me in giving peace to the Farlan Undead Team."
