Chapter 191

"Think about it again? Touching the breasts of a seven or eight-year-old girl and then seriously saying that you want her heart..."

Too bad.

Something really isn't right.

At that moment, he really didn't regard Lucifer as a "human". After all, the demons in the Tenth Castle seemed to be small.

But if you think about it carefully, besides having some demonic elements in you...

Lucifer is completely humanoid!

There’s no problem at all with looking at a stunning waifu!

Why did he do it so naturally?

Is it because...

because……

When she said those words, she really looked like an empress who was guarding her own dungeon, looking at the desolate scene in the dungeon, wanting to change but unable to do anything?

As the empress of an unvisited dungeon, she did almost everything she could to win over adventurers, but it was a pity that she had little effect.

perhaps……

For an empress who has supported the dungeon by herself, it would be a good thing not to be treated like a child.

Fortunately, there was no one else except Shona, otherwise the door of System's house would have been trampled on by unknown people who came to deliver the child the next day.

"Okay. It's my fault. She deleted my memory several times and teased me with scraps of gossip. Let's call it even."

"Haha, that's exactly what you would say."

"So, Xiuna is standing here so late, what is she feeling melancholy about?"

"How should I put it? In fact, I was thinking about this problem when I entered the dungeon on the first day. Will, you said...why is there no adventurer in the Tenth Castlevania?"

"..."

Will was silent for a moment.

As a member of the System family, theoretically, he has the most say in matters concerning the Adventurers Association.

But actually...

What he learned about the Adventurers Association from the System family was not even one-tenth of what he learned about the Adventurers Association from the original work!

"What's wrong? Can't answer? Well...it turns out that the young master of the System family is really not favored at all."

"Yes, yes. The family's operations have nothing to do with me. I am completely excluded. It's as if I'm dead..."

Will paused.

Yes.

It's like... I'm going to die?

"But, just take a look at the Adventurers Association's information and you will know."

"Hmm? Shona, are you staying up at night because you are studying this?"

"right."

Shona nodded.

"As a town close to the capital, its Adventurer Association is not marked on our commonly used adventurer map, but is blocked by the large icon of the capital. Of course, you and I both know that the Adventurer Association of the capital... "

"It's very small. There's no need to use such a big icon."

"Secondly, almost all the recommended dungeons don't mention the Tenth Castlevania - if the old witch hadn't specifically mentioned it, I wouldn't have come to this place at all."

"..."

"Finally, a very strange point. As a city with underground cities, the most convenient transportation in Caimat Town...is to transport vegetables and fruits to the capital, but not to communicate with other cities that also have underground cities."

"It's almost like..."

"It's like being deliberately ignored by the Adventurers Association, isn't it?"

Chapter 218 "Winner"

"It's like being deliberately ignored by the Adventurers Association, isn't it?"

——The words that came out of Yu Xiuna's mouth made Will startled.

Indeed.

Although as the person who founded the association, he didn't want to admit it.

but……

What makes Lucifer so "frustrated", "sad" and "tangled" is indeed the Adventurers Association's intentional neglect.

"So, you from the System family..."

Like a keen detective, Shona deduced the "murderer" just through the current "information".

At the same time, she used her keen sense of smell to get close to the "murderer" and stared at "him".

"...You should know the reason behind it, right?"

"That's how it should be. But as the outside world thinks, I am the least favored one, and I have no intention of letting the head of the family give me a seat, so I don't know what they think. "

"What a pity. You could have been more domineering and surprised Lucifer, for example..."

Xiuna paused for a moment, seeming to be preparing an interesting tone:

"'It doesn't matter, as long as I give the order, you can receive hundreds of adventurers tomorrow' - something like that?"

Will was frightened by Shona's imitation of a domineering president's tone and stepped back - even though there is no such profession in this world.

"But if you think about it from my business perspective, at this point in time..."

At this point in time, when the System family is restricted by Entak's royal family, they have not been able to completely bring the dungeon to the forefront.

They also have to pay a large amount of taxes every year and are restricted by the government and military of Entak in various cities.

so……

"Carver may have wanted to use such behavior to isolate and weaken the royal family. After all, the closer to the capital, the greater Ntak's sphere of influence."

This was the conclusion that came to Will's mind.

"You see, with the traffic maintained by the Adventurers Association, they rarely even open such a road."

From the perspective of time and fate, it’s very reasonable, right?

only……

Thinking about it this way, the emergence of the dungeon and the supplies have always been a "random" existence in this world, but if Carver can control the prosperity of the dungeon by controlling the number of adventurers, then the Systrom family and the Adventurer's Association can control much more than he thought at the beginning.

Is this the foreshadowing that the original work buried for a long time?

"Is that so? I always feel that... things are not that simple."

Xuna propped her chin up, as if thinking about something deeper - something that has nothing to do with the superficial political struggle.

"Without the exploration of adventurers, this dungeon will always stop. Well... my intuition is very accurate, but I usually don't simply believe in intuition."

She changed from looking at the empty street scene outside the stairs to closing her eyes and thinking silently.

"Why would the old witch lead us here? Even if she wanted to trick us, she shouldn't have come to a dungeon that is weak in strength. So there must be some other information here that she wants to tell us..."

"I advise you not to try to understand what an experienced witch is thinking. Maybe she really wants to play a trick on us."

"But Will, I always feel that this time, someone is preventing the exploration of the dungeon - perhaps from the inside of the dungeon, and it has nothing to do with us humans."

"This..."

Will didn't say anything.

If it was just the information he knew from this world, he couldn't analyze anything.

But...

From the original work...

From the part he took over when he adapted it into a game, there is indeed an "organization" inside the dungeon. Some dungeons that are not geographically related on the surface are unified entities standing on a united front inside.

But the original work is stuck here. At the end of the sixth volume that has been published, the empress met another empress in the dungeon and told her about this - to be honest, the emperors he had seen in the six volumes of the original work were not as many as he had seen in his current adventure.

If it is from the original work...

This may be an abyss that is best not to touch.

"Forget it. I think we should not think about these things. After all, we can't interfere with the things inside the dungeon even if we want to."

"Hmm..."

Xuna nodded, then opened her eyes and sighed.

"That's right."

"Okay, okay, go back to sleep. Although... I can't sleep either."

"No, wait a minute..."

Xuna grabbed Will's wrist as he was about to turn around.

She was quite strong, and Will frowned slightly.

"I'm thinking about some ultimate secrets deep in the dungeon, so I can't sleep. You-what can't you sleep for?"

"This...this..."

Will thought about it, and it seemed that he really hadn't told Shuna.

"Huh? Anyway, I can't sleep, so why don't you say it?"

Xuna gently twisted her hand and pulled him to the window next to her, and made room for him.

"Look, I've wiped it all clean. Let's look out the window and talk about it."

Will bowed his head.

Outside the window was the slightly desolate streets of Zemat Town. There were few shops open to the public on the streets, and most of them were residents' houses. The houses were also dilapidated and looked unrepaired.

It was hard to imagine that a town with an underground city that was close to the capital and even provided supplies to the capital could be so dilapidated.

It was completely different from the prosperous cities he had seen before.

The contradiction between the system of the Entak Empire and the underground city production system finally intertwined such an area. There will be a war between them, with the death of the king a year later as the horn.

But...

If his fate is not changed, he may only see the time when the horn is sounded.

"I...I'm thinking about Treya."

"You. Well, thinking about other women in the middle of the night really makes me sad. Let's talk about it today."

Xuna pouted and turned around immediately.

"Wow, I thought Shuna would be a great spiritual mentor, willing to listen to a melancholy young man pour out his heart under the moonlight. Especially, the only person he pours out his heart to is..."

Before he finished speaking, Will felt that Shuna had flicked his forehead - Will felt that she had restrained her strength, otherwise it would have been much more painful than this.

"Okay, okay, I was just joking with you. Isn't it common for us to have communication problems? Don't be so smooth-talking as if you were coaxing a woman. I have goose bumps."

Although she said so...

But Will looked at her and felt that although she said "I have goose bumps", she seemed to be happy.

Shuna sighed and rubbed the place where Will's head was hit just now.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"I'm very worried about her condition now. The situation of the royal family doesn't seem optimistic. I originally thought that she was just like Leah, angry because I suddenly disappeared. Now I heard the message from Lucifer, and it's not what I imagined."

"Oh?"

"Her dependence on me is far greater than I thought, so..."

"So, you think this task is too heavy?"
