Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?
Chapter 105 - 103 Have You Heard of the Undead Team

Chapter 105: Chapter 103 Have You Heard of the Undead Team

Fran Fort, the Watcher of the Abyss—home base of the Fran Undead Team.

The Undead Team, Gollum, Crystal Elder, and other characters jointly cleanse the Abyss here, guarding the Casas Tomb underground.

Gong Qiying chose to start from here, not only because the design of the swamp area was based on that of Fran Fort from the beginning, requiring little change, but also because this plotline can be linked to what is currently shown in the Sain Dungeon.

In the world of Dark Souls, the Fran Undead Team are the inheritors of the will of Abyss Wanderer Artorias. They entered a pact with the Ancient Wolf of Fran, sharing wolf blood, to monitor and exterminate anyone or any city corrupted by the Abyss, even if it means destroying an entire nation.

From their story, many aspects can be extended, such as what the Abyss is, the process of Fire Transmission, further tales of Artorias, from which the stories of the Four Knights Under King can be derived, including a knight named "Dragon Hunter" Ornstein who has a close relationship with Sun Elder Son.

Hey, see how it all connects!

As for how the plot should be presented, it’s impossible for him to create a bonfire and narrate the entire story; it’s better to leave hints on various weapons, equipment, and items for collectors to speculate.

It’s not that Gong Qiying is lazy, but this method allows the information to be "obfuscated."

The more you say, the more mistakes you make, the more detailed the preparations, the more likely small discrepancies will arise, especially when fabricating a fictional world.

Blurring the storyline directly, letting adventurers have a rough understanding of its main plot and leaving the details to their imagination; whether they believe these stories belong to ancient history or something else, a few harmless bugs, like whether the Ornstein in Dark Souls is real or not, and if real, how to explain the armor on top of Ancient Dragon Peak.

By then, soul scholars will argue on my behalf!

"Other worldviews can also be mixed in this way."

His thoughts began to wander, imagining what it will be like when Dungeon is fully developed.

But for now, he should keep his feet on the ground.

Gong Qiying moved out the three-dimensional map of Fran Fort, directly covering it over the swamp area, carefully comparing the slight differences, pinching and molding the map like playing with clay.

Most of Fran Fort’s scenes are outdoors, not packed with traps like Sain Ancient City; the design here mainly combines monsters with terrain.

"Previously, the swamp only caused poisoning; now it needs a slowing effect as well, hmm... increase the surface area of the ground."

"Use a beacon to hint at the Beacon Tower’s location, hey, turns out each Beacon Tower has different sculptures, which can also supplement the worldview."

"Position the Black Knight here in the shortcut, defeat him to unlock the shortcut."

"Must also arrange for the essential Head Washing Brother Gollum and Gollum Elder; they look like large trees, perfect for ambushes from the forest,"

"Seems like Soul-sucking Ghosts, Crystal Lizards, and Mushroom Men can also be arranged."

"Right, hide the covenant of the Soul-sucking Ghost here, now the Sun Warriors will have opponents."

"And the invincible Greatsword of the Exile..."

Gong Qiying stretched out his withered fingers, writing the words difficulty, map, and plot on the dusty ground.

These are his current targets for alterations.

All these are huge projects, definitely not miracle work an individual can achieve overnight.

Let’s set the update for a week later; solve the new map’s issues within seven days!

Gong Qiying found the sensation of working overtime from his past life, but unlike being forced, he is now joyful.

His spiritual power is still sufficient, and the overall cost of various modifications isn’t much; after the changes, he’ll face a new wave of spiritual power growth.

In the future, when facing the Evil Nest Dungeon, Gong Qiying already has considerable confidence.

The only issue he still doesn’t understand—

As mentioned by his predecessor, those lives that formed bonds with the Dungeon, what role can they play in the battle within the Dungeon?

————————————

Bed City, adventurer’s guild.

"I have seen just these,"

In the reception room, Drew placed several sketches in front of Ceder.

The sketches were vivid and lifelike; the first depicted the Sun Elder Son with flowing long hair, the mysterious Dragon Hunter Knight, and a knight in golden lion Armor, all lifting their weapons high, together creating the scene of the Golden Stone Oath.

Turning to the next page, the main characters changed, the golden knight was still there, but three more figures appeared beside him.

A giant, holding a great bow, his presence sharp as an eagle.

A woman of slender figure, evoking thoughts of a bee-like agility and lethality.

And last, a figure holding both a Great Sword and a Big Shield, emitting an aura akin to that of a wolf.

Drew’s painting skills were truly superb, capturing each character as if they were alive, making one inevitably imagine their pasts just by looking at these pictures.

"Not bad painting skills," Ceder complimented.

"I once dreamed of becoming a painter, but unfortunately, I didn’t get into art school,"

Drew shook his head, saying, "President, do we really need to show all the information we’ve gathered to the public?"

Ceder looked at him and said, "The decision was made long ago, there’s no point in delaying, and the Shadow Brotherhood has already released part of it."

"But just for now, the things excavated from Sain far exceed other Dungeons," Drew paused, his big beard trembling twice, "Won’t it cause chaos?"

Ceder smiled, placing the sketches casually on the table.

"Isn’t it true that every truth discovered leads to great chaos? Moreover, isn’t the chaos Sain causes now minor?"

"The bigger the chaos, the more people will take notice here, and the information... will seem more real,"

Drew frowned, "Do you really believe in the stories from Sain or not?"

"Whether I believe it or not is not important, what’s important is whether people are willing to believe. If you really want me to take a stand,"

Ceder thought for a moment and said,

"I hope people believe."

"..."

Drew smirked to himself, thinking this old fox is speaking in riddles.

Ceder chuckled, bent down to pat Drew’s shoulder, and said, "The future exploration and excavation work will still rely on you guys, I look forward to our cooperation."

Drew tiptoed and shook hands with him.

"By the way, how is your team leader? I haven’t seen Leon for a long time,"

"He is..."

Drew showed a weird expression and said,

"He is preparing for something and doesn’t let us follow."

Sain Dungeon, middle layer, Sealing Prison.

"I have been trained by the Sword Saint and my strength is not what it used to be,"

Leon caressed the blade, as if it were part of his body.

"Before settling my past debts, I have a few tasks to accomplish, first... I will wash away the disgrace you left me!"

He held the Straight Sword aloft, pointing at the slowly forming figure.

"Hehe,"

The avatar of Soul V waved the Ring Seal Knight’s Straight Sword, releasing a chilling laugh.

Leon, he is actually planning to challenge the avatar of Soul V alone!?
