Chapter 385: Chapter 279 Onion? Knight?_2

"Sorry, it was my mistake in commanding!"

"Sorry, it was my slow reaction!"

"Pfft..." Elsa couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of the two.

Tami looked up and met Jack Mayer’s gaze. Although they didn’t laugh out loud, they exchanged a fist bump, which in the world of men, signifies a closer bond.

During the moments they dodged traps, the two would chat with each other. Jack Mayer told him about the sights outside Sain Ancient City, like the Fire Transmission Ceremony, Undead Town, and Catalina, which broadened Tami’s knowledge of these places.

Suddenly, history felt more vivid.

"Mr. Jack, do you know the background of this place?" Tami asked, as it was hard not to associate something with only a few characters different between Sain Ancient City and Sain Dungeon.

Jack Mayer thought for a moment and said, "This place was built by the gods to test the undead. Only those who can pass through here are qualified for the next step. Sigh, I don’t really like this place."

"Testing the undead..."

Tami mumbled to himself, lost in thought.

But from his increasingly bright eyes and the uncontrollable trembling of his excited body, you could tell he must have thought of something amusing to himself.

In short, he was fascinated.

Watching the two having a great conversation, Elsa pouted. Ever since Onion Knight came, Tami had been paying less attention to her!

She was very unhappy!

But sometimes the things Jack Mayer said made her laugh uncontrollably, making it hard to hate Onion Knight, such as—

"Do you think if we rolled on the ground, we would be faster?" Jack Mayer’s voice sounded very naive.

"I don’t think that’s a good idea..." Tami found that sometimes Jack would propose questions that were hard to tell if he was joking or serious, causing him to break out in cold sweat.

At those times, Jack Mayer would laugh heartily, seeming to enjoy teasing him.

In the City Lord’s room, Gong Qiying silently observed and nodded in satisfaction.

So far, Elsa and Tami’s progress was pretty good. The former pouting because Onion Knight took her attention was a significant improvement.

He recorded the scene and took a short nap. When he woke up again three hours had passed. Upon checking, he saw the trio had reached the end.

All of them were lying on the ground breathless, their eyes filled with despair.

"Thank you for your help. I, Jack Mayer of Catalina, thank you."

Onion Knight from the first Dark Souls sincerely expressed his gratitude and gave his reward.

[Original Force Burst]

[The famed Catalina miracle that can unleash a shockwave forward]

[The people of the Kingdom of Virtue and Praise are straightforward; when they get angry, they don’t endure but take action directly]

"Oh..." Tami weakly accepted the miracle book page, not even sure if his intelligence was enough to use it.

Additionally, there were the Thrusting Shield, several large souls of the undead, and some pretty gemstones that seemed only sellable for money. The rewards were quite generous.

Seeing that Onion Knight was leaving, he curiously asked:

"Mr. Jack, where are you going?"

"Next, I’ll go to Yanor Londo. You know, the palace of the gods. Maybe we’ll meet there, haha."

Yanor Londo?

Tami suddenly thought, could this be a hint that Sain Dungeon will have a new area in the future?

But...

"Whatever, I’m really exhausted..."

He lay on the ground, watching Jack Mayer walk towards the end of the ancient city and push open the sealed door.

As the blinding sunlight pierced through the door cracks, dispelling the darkness of the ancient city, the familiar teleportation effect appeared. At last, they could leave this underworld Painting World!

[Received items: Goddess’ Blessing x2, Candle Head x2, Forging Stone, Large Forging Stone...]

The rewards didn’t matter anymore; all I want now is to sleep.

Before falling into an onion-like deep sleep, Tami thought:

I wonder how the captain and others are doing now?

————————————

On the other side of Casas Underground Tomb, Luluwo and her group had made new progress.

Their route was different from Tami’s, but they ultimately ended up in a darkened area as well.

This meant there were currently three routes leading to the lower level of the tomb, with only Tami’s route encountering the three Corpse Warlocks and unlocking the Fire Injection Secret Ceremony.

"It’s about time for today. Let’s rest and retreat," Luluwo said, stretching her sore shoulders. "Let’s find the strayed ones after we go back and avoid any more accidents."

While the Skyrim Strategy Group was relaxing, an uninvited guest arrived.

[Invasion by Soul-sucking Ghost "I don’t like rosemary"!]

Hmm? An invader?

Most people would be on high alert facing an invader, but the Skyrim Strategy Group was different, they didn’t even bother to move from where they were seated on the ground.

The invader’s menacing figure appeared, dual-wielding poisoned daggers, with a repeating crossbow and flying knives on his waist. Repeating crossbows had become standard gear for invaders lately, ideally paired with hypnotic crossbow arrows.

No matter how you looked at it, this guy was here to start trouble. When he saw Luluwo, his eyes focused, quickening his pace toward her.

Luluwo watched him expressionlessly as he got closer and closer, then—

With a thud, he knelt before her.

"Boss Luluwo, I finally found you!" "I don’t like rosemary" said plaintively, "I’ve been looking for you all day, and I’ve been killed several times!"

"Cut the crap. What do you need?"

Luluwo crossed her arms, revealing a cold expression like that of a queen.

Though "reformed" now, don’t forget she was the one who started the Great Invasion Era in Bed City!

Even though she was no longer an invader, she still held high regard and status in the invader community. Even though she was in a retired state, only seasoned veterans knew her and owed her favors. They would inform her of any significant developments.

Her extensive network allowed her to summarize strategies ahead of other groups.

Exploring the Dungeon was not just about strength but also about handling relationships~

Receiving cold treatment only made "I don’t like rosemary" even more excited. He hurriedly said:

"Someone has put a bounty on us to invade you and hinder your exploration progress! When I invaded, they were watching me. I pretended to take the commission to notify you. Guess what...?"

"The Light Eagle Group, right."

"How did you know? Wow, as expected of you!"

The invader laughed, compulsively licking his dagger and said:

"The brothers reported to you immediately. Everyone plans to teach these mercenaries a lesson. Do you want to join in? We’ve prepared hoods, and hundreds of hypnotic crossbow arrows, along with freshly made Hound Step and Iron Pot Fragrance Medicine."

Hearing this, the expressions of the Skyrim Strategy Group changed. Berto shook his head, sighing, while Mila clapped and laughed. Asam showed extreme interest.

Luluwo also smiled, patted the invader’s shoulder, and said in a heartfelt manner:

"Your dagger is poisoned."

"Huh?"

[The invader is dead!]
