Who designed this underworld dungeon?

"Why does the boss look so depressed?"

"I think so." Ma Lu's expression looked a little tense. "If you get the reward that the boss got, you will become like this,"

Terl scratched his hair and said to himself: "I really can't imagine the boss fighting with that thing."

"Dong dong."

At this moment, the bell rang, indicating that Thane Dungeon was about to close.

The people on the exploration team felt that this day was extremely long. It felt like they had been staying in the dungeon for several years. The various disgusting monsters and traps were exhausting, and the days seemed like years.

At the thought of finally being able to go back and rest, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.

"I don't want to come down again for at least a week," Stellan said with a tired look on her face.

The flame monk shouted enthusiastically: "What are you talking about? You and Lord Vulcan are destined, so you should come down every day!"

Stellan gave him a look that looked like a fool.

Roger stroked the elf ball in his hand and smiled with a crazy expression on his face. Perry held the scroll and was about to cry without tears. The Holy Light Knight looked at the cross with complicated eyes and finally decided to take it back.

As the last bell rang, the figures of the adventurers gradually blurred.

Noisy sounds came from their ears. When they opened their eyes again, they had returned to the outside world. The sky was dark, and the cold moonlight shone on the ancient city, completely unable to withstand the lights of the city.

The area near the portal was extremely lively, but it was not harmonious at all.

Looking around, people were quarreling, and the noisy parties were undoubtedly the adventurers and the guards of the Bede family.

"Why do you want to check our harvest? Even the earl doesn't have this right!" the adventurer shouted.

The guard held up a piece of paper and said: "With the new law, the Bede family has the right to first acquire the ore produced in Thane Underground City. I don't care about your other harvests, but the ore must be handed over."

"I won't sell to other merchants either!"

"Ha," the guard chuckled, "go ahead and find him. As long as you can find a businessman in Bede City who dares to buy the ore, I will kneel down and apologize to you."

"What do you mean!"

The adventurers looked at each other. They had only stayed in the dungeon for a day. Why did it seem that something big had changed after they came out?

What on earth is Count Philip doing?

At this time, the miners belonging to the Bede family came out one after another. Five to six hundred people went in, but less than a hundred came back, but the remaining people all gained something.

The guards no longer struggled with the adventurers, but instead shouted at the miners, ordering them to hand over supplies quickly.

The atmosphere at the scene became a little solid for a while, and people hurried back to the city, trying to find someone to find out what happened.

Stellan frowned at the farce and said to herself: "The Bede family clearly didn't behave this way before, so how could it change so suddenly?"

Roger gave a contemptuous smile and looked at the guards with a playful look.

Leon patted Stellan on the shoulder and said, "Go to the guild first. Mr. Sid must know something."

The guards did not stop them this time, and everyone quickly returned to the guild, where they were told by the staff that West Germany had been waiting for them.

Pushing open the door of the conference room, West turned around and opened his arms, smiling like a gentleman: "Welcome back, the stars tell me that you will definitely gain a lot."

"The harvest is indeed a lot, we have cleared Thane Dungeon,"

Sid showed an expression of "Sure enough," he waved his hand, and the musical instruments on both sides of the room started playing automatically. Glasses of bright red wine flew in front of everyone. He was the first to raise the glass and said: "Such a momentous moment, we should celebrate it properly. , thank you for your hard work!”

"Let's talk about the celebration later," Leon frowned and asked, "Mr. Sid, what happened today, what is the situation in the Bede family?"

West Germany drank the red wine in one gulp, put down the glass, and said in a casual tone: "What else could it be? It's just that greed was awakened and an irrational decision was made."

"You may not know that Earl Philip returned to Bede from the Royal City yesterday, bringing back His Majesty the King's orders and a dazzling array of treasures. As soon as he came back, he issued several new orders, just like what you saw today. ,"

There are three commands:

One of them is the people belonging to the Bede family who have priority to enter Thane Underground City, and the rest are not allowed to resist.

The second is that the Bede family has the first right to purchase the ore produced in Thane Underground City. However, all the merchants in the city have been dealt with, and no one dares to purchase the ore, which means they can only sell it to the Bede family.

The third is to levy tickets for adventurers who enter the dungeon. The tax is levied according to the number of entries every month, which is a large amount of money.

"Is Philip crazy?" Stellan was so angry that she called him by his name. "Don't he know the fate of those lords who dare to tax the underground city?"

"Just because he knew, he made other preparations,"

West Germany said slowly: "With the king's support, he temporarily mobilized the elite mercenary group who only obeyed the king's orders. Counting the time, they should arrive tomorrow."

The Holy Light Knight suddenly raised his head, with surprise in his tone, and asked: "You mean that mercenary group?"

"Yes, it's them,"

Sid nodded,

"Light Eagle Group,"

——————————

The Bader House.

"I don't understand. My father clearly knows that what he is doing is wrong, why does he continue to do it?"

The third young master Sally, who had not appeared for a long time, was walking back and forth in the room, his face showing irritability.

"Sooner or later, if this continues, adventurers will backfire. So what if the Light Eagle Group can suppress the adventurers by force?"

He scratched his silver hair irritably and said to himself:

"Why do you want to lock me up? Why can't he listen to any of my opinions? I only said that workers should be given priority to enter, but I didn't say that there would be taxes or anything. I just went to the royal city. Why did he become like this!"

Ever since Earl Philip came back from delivering potions to the royal city, he seemed to have changed. He was originally a gentle and elegant person, but suddenly he became violent and angry at the people around him. Sally just tried to persuade him a few words and was dismissed. He was locked in a room with guards guarding the door.

He even suspected that Count Philip was infected by the king's strange disease!

But I quietly called the pastor to take a look and found that there was nothing wrong with my father.

So what exactly stimulated him!

The brave Elsa folded her hands on her knees and sat obediently. She thought she should behave better when Sally got angry.

The current Earl Philip is not cursed, nor is he pretending to be a demon. Elsa can tell that.

If it was a demon, she would have picked up the knife and struck.

As for the current situation

Elsa glanced at Sally quietly. If her partner thought about it and decided to use her power to get out of trouble, she would definitely help.

I am not good at words, so I have some strength.

At this time, Sally suddenly said to her:

"Elsa, do you still remember my speculation?"

Elsa nodded, and Sally continued:

"I've always wondered why the dungeon changed. The map after the change is not chaotic. In some aspects, such as the location of traps, the distribution of monsters, etc., they all seem to be decisions made after careful consideration. , it’s almost like someone is controlling everything,”

"The teacher told me that all this is because of one thing - the dungeon has its own consciousness."

"Just like the holy sword of the brave, the scepter of the Queen of Elf, and the hammer of the King of Dwarves, those items miraculously gave birth to consciousness. After all, the dungeon can also be regarded as an item, and it may also give birth to weapon spirits. The same consciousness governs everything in the underground city.”

"If it is really conscious, if it learns what its father has done,"

Sally clenched his fists and said:

"Will the rampage incident a hundred years ago happen again?"

"I can only pray. I pray that the dungeon consciousness is like a newborn baby that doesn't understand anything. I hope it has no way of knowing what's happening in the outside world, and I hope it won't go berserk."

However, the "dungeon consciousness" he calls already knows these nonsense.

"Why is the turnover reduced today?"

Gong Qiying played back the video of the crystal ball, and his expression gradually changed.
