Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 932 - 609: We Want the Dragon Feast

Long, long ago.

The Warrior Country greatly admired the Dragon Slayer Warriors.

Those who dared to challenge the giant dragon and successfully slayed it were the bravest warriors, worthy of bards composing songs to be passed down through generations.

Therefore, in the ancient traditions of the Warrior Country, Dragon Slayer Warriors were given the sincerest blessings and the highest honors.

No matter if it's a man or a woman, as long as they're a Dragon Slayer Warrior, people would surely give a thumbs up and say:

"A god among gods!"

But long, long after that.

The official propaganda in the Warrior Country gradually downplayed the Dragon Slayer Warriors.

The main reason was.... the Dragon Clan had moved into the Warrior Country, and the races got along quite harmoniously.

If they weren't getting along, the profession of Dragon Knight wouldn't have emerged among humans, right?

And by that time, since the Dragon Clan had become an inseparable part of the Warrior Country, continually promoting Dragon Slayer Warriors, promoting how warriors cut off dragon horns, skinned dragon hides, and bathed in dragon blood, seemed quite inappropriate, didn't it?

Thus, the Dragon Slayer Warriors gradually became forgotten.

But this was purely the overthinking of the authorities in the Warrior Country, because even if they promoted Dragon Slayer Warriors, the Dragon Clan never cared.

They just wanted to avoid suspicion, which is always the safer route.

Moreover, the vast majority of dragons within the Warrior Country were under control and law-abiding, with only a very few causing trouble, and they rarely dared to run rampant in the Warrior Country, so the opportunities for Dragon Slayer Warriors were few.

This name became a legendary profession appearing only in ancient nursery rhymes and the poems of bards.

However!

The emergence of the Madness Qi Dragon brought this name back into the spotlight.

A malevolent dragon like this, even if killed, wouldn't be a problem, as it absolutely wouldn't affect racial unity nor involve issues of racial discrimination!

People who grew up listening to stories of Dragon Slayer Warriors were eager to try, ready to challenge the Mad Dragon.

Then, in less than two months, the number of challengers halved.

After another six months, challengers were rare.

A year later, only the Royal Family's expedition team was willing to take on the task of defeating the Mad Dragon.

Even if people wanted to be Dragon Slayer Warriors, there was no need to chase an utterly unattainable goal, right?

And so, Dragon Slayer Warriors fell silent once again, until now. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"You mean, there's a ritual called Dragon Feast in the Sain Dungeon, where not only can you get the heart of a dragon you kill, but eating it grants you the dragon's power?"

In a gathering place of middle-aged youths at night, someone incredulously stated.

"Feels just like a real Dragon Slayer Warrior from the legends!"

"But in the legends, Dragon Slayer Warriors became stronger by bathing in dragon blood, which is different from the Dragon Warriors in the Sain Dungeon."

"What's the big deal about that difference! Having it is already something!"

A person who looked quite smart confidently declared:

"Since the Dragon Warriors in the Sain Dungeon gain power by eating dragon hearts, doesn't that suggest the Dragon Slayer Warriors of ancient times did the same? That's the real tradition!"

Someone suddenly realized and echoed:

"Bathing in dragon blood was always just a legend. Scholars even experimented before, and soaking in dragon blood didn't strengthen humans, but could instead cause strange diseases, or even parasites. I always thought it was due to our mixed dragon bloodline or differences with ancient humans, but it turns out it was the wrong method!"

The clever-looking person immediately slapped the table, pointing at the one who agreed with him, laughed and said:

"Exactly, exactly, it's like that! Eating dragon hearts is the most correct method! So do you, as smart as you are, know what we should do next?"

The people there had long been drawn in by their discussion. At this moment, when he shouted these words, everyone directed their gaze towards him.

"I, I know!"

That person said excitedly:

"It's entering Sain Dungeon and slaying dragons!"

"Exactly! As long as we kill the dragon, we can all become Dragon Warriors. What are we waiting for? Let's move!"

The clever-looking person slammed the table like a judge, then whipped open his coat to reveal a pocket full of booklets, enthusiastically shouting:

"I just happen to have the latest Sain Dungeon strategy guide—a special version for Flying Dragon Yakir. As long as you buy it, you can definitely defeat Yakir, and I'll refund you if you can't!

This ignited people's passion, and they all rushed to pull out their coins.

"Give me a copy!" "I want one too!" "Give me ten copies!"

"Alright, thank you for your patronage~"

The clever-looking person—Berto, a member of the Skyrim Strategy Group, took one silver coin after another, smiling so widely at the booming scene that he couldn't close his mouth.

Initially, the Skyrim Strategy Group planned to release a guide for the entire Nimgefo Region, with the comprehensive guide sold as a booklet for five silver coins, but since the news of the Great Dragon Feast Church spread, there was a great demand for information related to Flying Dragon Yakir, regardless of whether people were adventurers or not.

So they tried taking a small part of the original guide about Flying Dragon Yakir, expanding it, and selling it separately, still for five silver coins.

It ended up being a massive hit.

This was perfect—not only did fewer guides need to be sold, leaving more for future sales, but the money earned was greater. It was simply the most gratifying thing in the world.

However, the Warrior Country wasn't the only place where the Skyrim Strategy Group sold intelligence. Various big and small intelligence merchants were currently striving to ride this wave, making the Skyrim Strategy Group completely operating in an away game.

Therefore, even with better guides, Berto and his fellow members had to increase sales by running business personally.

Now, everyone was no longer short of money, and having higher sales for their guides had become the spiritual pursuit of the Skyrim Strategy Group, turning into a form of performance art.

No matter how much unity was emphasized within the nation and among races, people inherently venerated the concept of a Dragon Slayer Warrior.

Therefore, the concept of Dragon Feast, once released, rapidly spread across the length and breadth of the Warrior Country.

If the Thirty Heroes of Glory Dungeon were the childhood memories of the Warrior Country's people, then the Dragon Warriors—Dragon Slayer Warrior successors in Sain Dungeon—were probably the mythic legends for the people of the Warrior Country. Compared to the two, it's unknown which held a higher position in people's hearts.

Yet both were equally appealing.

Black Stone City had already begun its expansion plans, but since the emergence of Dragon Feast, these newly constructed buildings still couldn't accommodate the continuous stream of visitors.

In no time, people flocked to Sain Dungeon.

And their target was all Flying Dragon Yakir!

Those visiting Sain Dungeon for the first time rushed straight to Yakir Lake following the strategy guide. Some adventurous ones even dared to go to Lake Lienia to battle the Luminous Stone Dragon.

Currently, a nationwide dragon-slaying craze was slowly unfolding.

Flying Dragon Yakir was already booked to be the Elite Monster with the most deaths this year.

Meanwhile, as Dragon Feast was gaining popularity, the release of a video directed people's attention towards another dragon-related region.

The forest region.

The video content depicted the second Prince of the Warrior Country, Lanle, alongside his five-man hunting team, hunting Flying Dragon Yakir and successfully capturing it.

The whole dragon hunting process was thrilling and highly watchable, and the proficiency of these hunters was satisfying. Coupled with Lanle's inherently attention-grabbing status, it naturally drew lots of attention.

At the end of the video, Lanle swallowed the dragon heart, performing the Dragon Feast. Enduring the excruciating pain without making a sound, he learned the [Dragon Claw] prayer. When the unmistakably dragon-like giant claw appeared in the video, the benefits of the Dragon Feast were visually confirmed.

People who had been hesitant made up their minds to hunt dragons after watching the video, while others were puzzled as to how Lanle, who had only shown magical prowess, could efficiently wield melee weapons.

Also, what were those peculiar weapons he and his bodyguards wielded?

Everything pointed towards the forest area.

"Lanle managed to become a tachi master from a pure Magician in a short time because of the forest area!" Such sayings emerged.

Since the Prince claimed to be of little power by outsiders could gain from the forest area and become a Dragon Warrior, surely we can too!

With such a mindset, those insufficiently strong to hunt Yakir headed for the forest area, seeking ways to hunt dragons.

Soon, the forest region and Yakir Lake became recent hotspots.

The reform faction's stance on this phenomenon was temporarily unknown, but the people of this faction seemed sensitive towards Sain Dungeon recently.

On the other hand, the traditionalist faction, especially Temude, had been grinning from ear to ear for days.

He saw the revival of warrior spirit from those eagerly heading off to hunt dragons and believed the Warrior Country was becoming vibrant again.

All of this, thanks to the emergence of Sain Dungeon!

"Relying on this dungeon doesn't seem like a bad thing at all. What was I thinking before?"

Lying in bed and gazing at the skylight, Temude couldn't keep the corners of his mouth still for a long time.
