"You are probably not from [City of Divine Blessing]."
Suddenly, the owner of the dungeon said this.
Senior sister and Metanzo remained calm.
The owner of the dungeon, Allen, smiled and said: "You don't have the flavor of the people who live in [Divine Blessed City]... You should be from other city-states. Moreover, this city-state may have just been called
It was captured not long ago.”
This kind of speculation is in line with [Yuliya's] senior's mental outlook when she and her party appeared in [Divine Blessing City], and they were incompatible with this city.
"But don't worry, I have no interest in exploring your origins." The owner of the dungeon said calmly: "On this land, no matter what your origins are, you will eventually become a plaything of vampires. No one
I can escape this fate."
Monsters are rampant, which is basically the status quo of this book world. But above the monsters, there are groups like vampires, who have the means to enslave monsters.
[Yulia] Senior sister learned from the inmate who made friends with moldy bread that vampires once ruled the world and had absolute dominance. However, after a great war, the vampires faced racial regression, and soon
Over a long period of time, humans began to become stronger, and a special organization like the Divine Blessing Church was born to fight against the remaining vampire power.
However, with the resurgence of the True Ancestor of the Vampires, the vampires who were originally being hunted became powerful again. They not only broke through the [City of Divine Blessing], but even swept the entire world once again.
"What exactly is the selection you are talking about?" Senior Sister [Yuliya] asked thoughtfully at this time.
The owner of the dungeon said calmly: "If you agree, I will arrange for you to undergo some necessary training. As for the content of the selection, I'm sorry, even I am not very clear."
"You don't even know?" Senior Sister [Yuliya] couldn't help but be shocked.
The owner of the dungeon said helplessly: "Everything must be subject to the will of the ruler in the castle... Unfortunately, the current real owner of [Divine Blessed City] is a very fickle person.
Guys. However, I can conduct targeted training for you based on the content of past selections. But you must be prepared, because there is not much time left for you."
Medanzo couldn't help but frowned. He heard a hint of chasing ducks from the dungeon master's mouth.
The owner of the dungeon said: "Originally, I didn't plan to participate in this selection because there were no suitable candidates on hand...until you showed up."
[Yuliya] Senior sister subconsciously said: "Listen to what you mean, besides you, is there anyone else who will provide personnel to participate in the selection?"
The owner of the dungeon said calmly: "I am not the only one who can do slave business here. Besides...no one has any regulations. Only slave merchants can provide excellent contestants. The ruler of the City of Divine Blessing, even in
Among the vampires, there are also high-ranking nobles, and the rulers of some nearby small city-states will also have some ideas."
Senior sister and Metanzo looked at each other again.
The senior sister then said slowly: "The last question, if we fail, what consequences will we face?"
The owner of the dungeon said calmly: "You are only good if you win."
…
The conversation at the dinner was obviously not satisfactory.
At this time, they lived in a room arranged by the dungeon master, which was naturally ten times better than the environment in the dungeon, but the situation seemed to be even worse.
[Yulia] The senior sister touched a metal collar around her neck. This was something that the dungeon master Allen asked them to wear when they left.
The collar has only one function, which is to prevent them from exploding if they escape midway. The remote control is in the hands of the dungeon owner, and it was a product of the Holy See before the [City of Divine Blessing] was breached.
"Senior, what do vampires like?" Senior Sister [Yuliya] suddenly asked.
"Don't you know?" Medanzo said casually: "Blood, what else could it be?"
Of course she knew that. She shook her head and said: "As far as I know, the Kingdom of Heaven has always been entangled with creatures like vampires in history, and senior, you have been in the Kingdom of Heaven for so long.
The second and fifth boys should be very familiar with the vampire species...perhaps, they will know something that others don't know."
Medanzo immediately rolled his eyes.
What does it mean to be a kid in the Kingdom of Heaven for so long? What this means... [He] already knew that I was a rebellious kid who had different intentions and was not well-raised, okay?
Medanzo simply put out the light, covered himself with a quilt and went to sleep.
This body is so weak that it has eggs...well, it doesn't have eggs, so eggs...it doesn't seem to have any eggs either.
All in all, it's sad.
…
…
The tutorial arranged by the dungeon master is quite complicated.
But it is basically a set used to train noble etiquette, with some miscellaneous subjects such as riding, fencing, and astronomy and geography interspersed.
This page world gave [Yuliya] and Metanzo the BUFFs of direct power bans, but it did not give them any intelligence reduction... Although the training tasks were heavy, it did not stump them.
On the other hand, Clary seemed extremely struggling and could not keep up with the rhythm. She even asked the owner of the dungeon, Allen, to pull her out alone for other training on the third day.
Selien doesn't need training, she can't wake up at all.
However, the owner of the dungeon did not abandon Celine. Instead, he ordered a maid to take personal care of her. This was the only condition for Metanzo to agree to participate in the selection.
As for the owner of the dungeon, apart from the fact that he called himself Allen and vaguely revealed a background of being a human noble before the destruction of [Divine Blessed City], what information about him can Senior Sister [Yulia]
I heard almost nothing.
He also always wears an iron mask and never looks at people with his true face, making him somewhat mysterious.
Before I knew it, the ten days of training flew by.
"You really surprised me. Not only did you complete the planned training program ahead of schedule, but the results you achieved were also beyond the specifications. As for Miss Clary, you also gained something, not bad, not bad."
After the last day of training, the owner of the dungeon once again held a sumptuous dinner to entertain the three people who had completed the training.
This was also the first time in the past ten days that Senior Sister [Yulia] and Medanzo saw Clary, and they were slightly surprised.
The girl in front of them was elegant and luxurious. She was dressed in a long dress and exuded a heart-stirring charm at all times... They didn't even see in Clary's eyes the depressed self-consciousness she had when she first came to the world of books.
Closed eyes.
It's like a different person.
"Are you... okay?" Senior sister [Yulia] approached the former [Rose Mansion] maid and asked in a low voice.
"I am better than ever before, Miss Yulia." Clary smiled and said: "Miss Yulia, don't you like me now."
"I like you as you are now." Senior Sister [Yulia] narrowed her eyes and smiled.
Clary covered her mouth and laughed softly, looking like she didn't care.
The hall door opened, and the owner of the dungeon appeared again accompanied by many beautiful maids. After some words of praise, the owner of the dungeon, Allen, said seriously: "Tomorrow night will be an important moment that changes your future lives! For this reason
, I have prepared something especially for you.”
Some jewelry, one piece for each person.
[Yulia] Senior sister didn’t expect it to be such a flashy thing... Although after wearing it, the overall image has been improved, but she would prefer that the owner of the dungeon can provide a sharp dagger.
However, in the final analysis, she, Metanzo, and Clary were nothing more than beautifully packaged goods at this time... She casually put on a pair of gemstone earrings in front of her and began to listen carefully to the dungeon master's offer.
Some details that need to be paid attention to when selecting.
…
…
That is the original site of the headquarters of the forbidden area [Divine Blessing Church] that cannot be entered at will.
This is the consensus of the forces in the entire [Divinity's Blessed City] and the strongholds in various neighborhoods because that is the territory of the rulers and vampire nobles.
But there will be guys who are not afraid of death and sneak in with a bit of luck. However, at sunrise, the body of the intruder will appear on the square of the headquarters of the Divine Blessing Church.
Their corpses were directly penetrated by a huge metal thorn, appearing in everyone's sight like exhibits, always warning those who were lucky.
at night.
Several carriages slowly drove into the restricted area... [Yuliya] Senior Sister quietly opened the curtains and looked outside, and found that one or two carriages would appear from different streets from time to time. It seemed that
It's all for the guys who participated in this selection.
"There seem to be quite a few people."
"Because the bounty has increased." Allen, the owner of the dungeon, said slowly at this time: "I just received the news today that the man in the castle will give double the bounty to the person who provides the winner. So.
, some guys who were still waiting and watching may not be able to sit still."
"The bounty was suddenly raised?" Medanzo frowned.
The dungeon master said calmly: "As I said, the master of the castle is a fickle guy. He can increase the reward or lower it temporarily. For him, all this is just a game to kill time."
"Yet you are so happy with this kind of game." Senior Sister [Yuliya] sneered directly.
She found that she could actually argue with the dungeon master a little bit. As long as it was not too much, the dungeon master's patience was quite good. Perhaps it was due to his training as a human noble?
"what is that?"
Metanzo's voice suddenly sounded.
There was a hint of surprise in the voice... This is something [Yuliya] senior can rarely hear because most of the time [Eleven] senior is shocked, stunned, etc., they are basically pretending.
of.
But this time... it seems very realistic.
She also subconsciously looked outside the carriage. At this time, the carriage was passing a huge square.
On the square, there were densely packed metal thorns erected. On these metal thorns, corpses were hung. Some had turned into bones, some were rotten, and even... there were fresh ones.
But this was obviously not the reason that surprised Metanzo. What really surprised Metanzuo, and at the same time, it also made senior [Yulia] take a deep breath!
Among the many metal thorns, there are some that are particularly towering. They look particularly out of place among the other metal thorns.
And hanging on these huge metal thorns are mummies wearing some kind of uniform.
"Those are the former clergy of [Divine Blessing Church]." The owner of the dungeon said calmly at this time: "After the [Divine Blessing City] was breached, the bodies of these clergymen were hung here as trophies.
This is the vampire's show off to the defeated members of the Holy See. Legend has it that the Holy See and the nobles have fled to the last pure land, the ideal country in the sky [Laputa]. Hanging here is probably to let those in the sky who have failed
Yes, you can see it clearly."
[Yulia] Senior sister and Metanzo didn't pay too much attention to the dungeon master's explanation. What really made them care was that among the many pillars of shame in the [Divine Blessing Church], they actually discovered a huge
Iron armor!
Kaz Iron Man, Kaz!!
Not only Kaz, but also [Sunny Doll], and a huge toad!
"They... are dead." Medanzo's voice was low.
"Yes, they actually..." Senior Sister [Yuliya] looked incredulous at this time.
【Sunny Doll】, Kazu the Iron Man...Gamataromaru!
In the pages of [The Book of Gaia], the four thousand-year-old supporting characters, except for [Blue Bird], are all dead, and they were hanged after death in such a desperate way.
There was a sudden silence in the compartment of the carriage, and an extremely depressing atmosphere quietly spread among senior [Yulia] and Metanzo.
"Are you nervous, or...scared?" The owner of the dungeon said in a slightly low voice at this time.
Obviously, he had noticed something unusual about them.
"Mr. Allen." Senior Sister [Yuliya] breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "I want to confirm that [City of Divine Blessing] was really breached fifteen years ago?"
"Fifteen years and seven months." The owner of the dungeon instantly gave a more specific answer, "The true ancestor of vampires came to [Divine Blessing City] and defeated all the high-level demon hunters of the Holy See overnight.
And he crucified the head of the Holy See on the Divine Blessing Square. Since then, darkness has fallen, and the human nobles have fled...Why, you should have learned these when you were training."
"Let's review it." [Yuliya] Senior Sister smiled casually at this time, "After all, these things outside... are quite impactful."
The owner of the dungeon said calmly: "We are about to enter the castle, so let's adjust our mentality."
After saying that, the owner of the dungeon closed his eyes and remained motionless.
…
The carriage slowly stopped.
In front of a huge and splendid palace, this is the final place that all those who come to participate in the selection can drive to.
From the carriages one after another, some well-dressed girls, or handsome young men, and some guys who looked like leaders of various forces were getting out.
Dungeon Master Allen obviously has a very high reputation among everyone. Many people even came up to greet him directly along the way.
Suddenly, the palace door opened, and a group of guys wearing black armor were seen. At this time, the leader of the black armored warrior stepped out and said in a deep voice: "Please show me your invitation letter!"
Hearing this, the owner of the dungeon, Allen, slowly took out a gray-black envelope from his arms, and there was a gold-gilded coat of arms printed on the envelope.
A blooming rose flower.
This is……
[Yulia] Senior sister couldn't help but stare slightly. She seemed to have seen the rose flower emblem on the envelope somewhere.
At this moment, a scream sounded.
Not far away, I saw a slightly fat middle-aged man in luxurious clothes looking down. At this time, he was directly pushed to the ground by two black-armored warriors... The swords were already crossed on the middle-aged man's neck.
superior.
"Forging invitations is a capital crime!"
I could only hear the middle-aged man screaming in horror at this time: "Impossible! My invitation cannot be fake! Last time, I personally dedicated a precious document from the old world to Lord Asaches! It's Ah
The invitation letter given to me by Lord Asaches! It cannot be fake! You go and ask! Lord Asaches can vouch for me!! I..."
The sharp sword slashed down, and the middle-aged man's head rolled directly on the ground.
In front of the glorious palace, everyone was silent... The middle-aged man's body was directly dragged away by the black-armored warriors.
"Senior...that guy just said, what...what kind of adult is this?" Senior sister [Yulia] opened her mouth at this time and looked at Metanzo, with a stronger sense of disbelief flashing in her eyes.
"Azaches..." Medanzo whispered a name.
[Yulia] The senior girl suddenly shivered, as if she remembered seeing the golden rose flower emblem on the invitation somewhere!
That is clearly the rose flower on the signboard of [Rose Mansion]!
