"I haven't seen you in half a month, how have you been recently?"

"Wow! As you can see, we're doing great! Right, everyone?" Reed turned and raised his right arm.

Oh oh oh oh! ! !

Heretics howled enthusiastically.

"That's good..." Chios shook hands with them one by one.

"Is the released companion recovered now?"

"Our heretics recover very quickly. There is no physical problem, but some new companions still need some time to adapt. After all, what happened before..."

Thinking of his companion who was cruelly tortured by the Ikelos family and who still harbors hatred and fear for humans, the lizard man in patchwork armor scratched the red scales on his head, obviously very distressed.

"However, everyone appreciates you, I can assure you."

"Thank you for your trust."

Chios smiled gently.

"It's not easy to build trust in an unfamiliar group..." Riveria folded her arms and continued on.

She was born in an extremely conservative family of elves and saints. She left home to work as an adventurer. She even entered into an intimate relationship with a human two months ago. She has a lot of experience in cross-species communication.

"Elves, humans, orcs, Amazons, and villains didn't get along well at the beginning. To this day, there are still occasional disputes and conflicts between different races and countries. I understand that you want to change the status quo as soon as possible, but you have to do it For this, determination is not the only thing, patience is equally important."

"In fact, great progress has been made. Adventurers and heretics will not fight each other as soon as they meet. The two sides can communicate and even buy and sell goods. Three months ago, this was something no one could have imagined..."

Compared with Riveria's sermon-like seriousness, Tifa is more supportive and affirmative:

"So don't worry, believe that your heart can be conveyed, and believe that Chios will help you, okay?"

"Um..."

Encouraged, Songbird Rey nodded.

"I didn't expect that we could do business with humans, it really feels like a dream..."

The front of the wings is pressed against the chest instead of the fingertips. Although the common language is not very fluent, the singing bird's melodious and emotional voice can make people clearly feel her yearning for a better future.

"I hope that one day, I can also be embraced by such an excellent man as Mr. Qios."

""Others can, but he can't. ""

Tifa and Riveria grabbed Chios' left and right arms at the same time.

Chios was helpless.

Due to the development of a super-friendship relationship with Mary, heretics who should have been outside the scope of defense have now become the warning target of his love object.

After all, I caused the trouble myself, so I can't complain...

With a little effort to free the hands that were grasped by the two women, Chios coughed lightly.

"Cough, actually, I came to you today to inform you..."

"I am going to leave the city tomorrow to travel around the world, and I will be back in about two to three months. During the period, if you have any difficulties or needs, you can find the peerless elf beauty on my right, Riveria. Although there is love Bad habit of preaching, but she's a conscientious and responsible girl... Mmm!"

"Enough, stop talking!"

Covering Chios's mouth with her hand, the embarrassing Riveria forced her face straight, and said to the heretic who hadn't digested the message in the young man's words:

"All in all, in the next few months, I will temporarily take over the work of Chios, including negotiating with you. I will follow the same way as Chios treats you, so you can rest assured."

"Lord Chios, are you leaving?"

Reed, who finally came to his senses, asked urgently.

When they heard that their benefactor was leaving, the heretics suddenly became agitated.

"Well, there are many potential allies outside the city that we can win over. I want to go to as many places as possible to conduct on-the-spot investigations and collect information."

Chios replied in a serious manner.

When it is inconvenient to disclose information about the legion, traveling is the most convenient way to say it.

Anyway, the world is big enough, even if all the staff of Orario went out to search and couldn't find anyone, they could easily find a way to deal with it when they came back.

"Before we leave, I have some gifts for you..."

Take out two wooden boxes from the heraldry space, lift the lid, and inside are dozens of jewelry boxes neatly stacked.

"This is?"

Opening the jewelry box, Rey took out the flame-shaped gold brooch placed on the velvet cushion, and stared blankly at the exquisite handicraft in front of her.

"The friendship token presented by the Eternal Flame Alliance to trustworthy allies. In order to prevent some unknown adventurers from thinking that it was snatched from others, the sapphire in the center of the flame was replaced with a ruby for identification."

Chios explained:

"Bringing it will not only further reduce the chances of conflicts between you and adventurers, but at the same time, I have told the merchants in the Assault City to provide you with more commodity transactions, including high-quality weapons and equipment."

"We can actually use weapons made by humans..."

"Xie xie, you are too kind to us, Lord Qios!"

"Is this from zen, zen?"

The heretics held the brooch tremblingly, almost in disbelief.

"of course it's true. "

Chios smiled sincerely.

Just as the Roman army not only relied on legions to fight, but also made good use of vassal states and foreign armies.

In his view, the position of heretics is also the same.

Heretics mainly inhabit the secret realm, which is similar to a scaled-down version of the safe floor, located on the 19th and 20th floors.

Maintain a good relationship with them, and those secret realms will serve as an outpost to attack the city, so that abnormal situations can be detected in advance and preparations can be made early.

During battles, explorations and expeditions, heretics can also be invited to join, on the one hand serving as guides and on the other hand enhancing the combat power of the team.

Because Rivera was supported by heretics in the offensive and defensive battle, most adventurers in Assault City had a better perception of heretics. At least they knew that they were different from ordinary monsters and could be communicated with.

Of course, the above exchanges are limited to dungeons...

Contacting the heretics in the labyrinth will not directly stimulate the residents of Orario, but it will also give the heretics who yearn for peaceful coexistence with the human race the hope of breaking the barrier.

With the increase in communication, adventurers, merchants, and guild staff in the city of Assault brought back to Orario their experience of getting along with heretics, and the two ethnic groups on the surface and underground could gradually realize mutual understanding.

The premise is that heretics must maintain their vassal status and not pose a threat to humans.

Food, drinks, luxury goods, and even weapons and equipment can be sold to them, as long as the manufacturing skills are firmly in the hands of the surface human race, no matter how much they give.

A heretic who admires the human way of life must be willing to slaughter monsters in large numbers and exchange the drops for these things.

In order to win the approval of adventurers, they will be willing to be pawns.

And what Chios has to do is to give them the hope and motivation to pursue this dream.

To prove that what you say is true, you must first set an example...

"Rey, Gross, Reed, I have these extras for you three..."

With that said, he took out the gift he had prepared in advance.

The songbird was given a set of mixed-woven armor made of mithril, which was used to protect the upper body but did not affect the movement.

As for the stone dragon with its high physical strength, it will be given an ax, ax and halberd made of superhard metal.

In the end, Chios untied the sword from his waist and handed it over to Reed, who spoke the common language best and was the most human-oriented among the heretics.

"This is my spare sword, even in the first level of armament, it is well-deserved top-grade."

He was so excited that his ears rang, and the young man's voice suddenly became distant and unreal.

"I give this sword to you, and I hope that the friendship between heretics and humans will last forever."

All the hard work and patience has paid off now...

And it's an unimaginable reward.

The lizard man who was so moved couldn't help but knelt down on one knee, stretched out his trembling hands, and respectfully received the sword.

"Obey!" Reed swears while clutching his sword tightly:

"I will defend this hard-won friendship with my life!"

Hearing this, Chios smiled and nodded.

In this way, all my tasks here have been successfully completed.

"See you at the crossroads of karma, friends."

After finishing speaking, he waved goodbye and left gracefully...

[Concluding remarks of the Dungeon Chapter, thanks to the staff in April and May]

Ah, the Dungeon chapter is finally over.

During the period of writing this article, I experienced some incidents, among which I think the most influential one is the health check, because the daily consumption of 1/2-2/3 bottles of whiskey, plus often staying up late thinking or coding, the liver index is quite high .But I am still young, and if I make up my mind to take care of my health, I can still recover quickly, so I quickly quit drinking and set myself a goal of not drinking for eight months, and it has been almost seven months now...

I like wine very much. I often drink red and white wine, whiskey, sake, and beer, and drinking can indeed bring me inspiration.When I wrote Xinnai and Feitan, I always wrote while drinking. The slightly drunk state gave me the confidence to write. Although I have always had the obsessive-compulsive disorder of constantly checking information when writing books, once I think about it clearly, I will not There are too many pauses and self-doubts.Since quitting drinking, the feeling of emotions pouring from the brain to the fingertips has almost disappeared. All creations are done with hard skills and repeated thinking.

Later, maybe because I thought that drinking can be quit, and smoking is also okay, so I tried not to touch cigarettes at all for a month, but I almost drove myself crazy.It’s not that there is any physical discomfort, it’s just that I can’t maintain concentration for a long time when I want to create, and I will feel brain fatigue after 15 minutes of high concentration.At that time, my state was really bad. Unless I didn't plan to write a book, otherwise this concentration was still necessary, so I picked it up later, at least after my eight-month abstinence period passed and I could drink a small amount of alcohol as a balance. consider.

I said this to explain some of the turbulence I encountered when I wrote the wrong place. Please forgive me for my sometimes unstable updates.

As for the creative process of this article itself... To put it simply, the outline I envisioned at the beginning was too long. Now it seems that if I write them all out, the chapter on Earth Wrong will definitely exceed a million words.When I wrote more than 50 words, I realized that the outline must be compressed to adjust to the 70+ words you see now.

There are also about 30 volumes of Dicuo's main biography + side story, including the three seasons of animation + side story animation + mobile game, the amount of information to be checked is no less than Scarlet Bulletin, and it can even be said to be more.The most troublesome thing is that some pitfalls may be revealed after the release of the second volume and the new plot of the mobile game. In order to restore the taste of the work as much as possible, I have to take time to read new information and adjust the outline from time to time. Unlike Scarlet Bullet, I just ignore the [-]th volume. Content (anyway, this work doesn't have much popularity left).

Another shortcoming is that 99% of the plots of this series take place in Olali and the dungeon, and most of the areas outside the city are just used as background boards, leaving too much blank space, and it is not known when the author will Mention it, so if possible, try to avoid it as much as possible.

But always killing and making troubles in such a city will easily cause aesthetic fatigue after a long time. This is not only for readers, but also for me as a creator. Write down the long outline.After all, we all need to go to other maps for some fresh air.

Generally speaking, I am generally satisfied with this dungeon dungeon, and I will give it a score of 79.I don't know how many points readers think they can score?You can leave a post and tell me.

Next is the sword and black soul fusion copy. Fortunately, the black soul is over, so I don’t have to worry about being slapped in the face by Hidetaka Miyazaki. The sword world itself is set out of the fate line, so I have more room for free play.In order to be able to sway on this stage, I created a map specially designed for this dungeon, hoping to write a story that satisfies everyone and myself.

Go back to my hometown today to do my filial piety, and by the way, check the outline of the sword and black soul chapter again, and take a day off.
