At the same time as Fanen Uffie was battling the White Mask.

Savis City, Tavern.

"Luluwo sister, I lost the invasion again. Can you tell me how to fight?"

A local Reid hunter, full of unwillingness, brought over two glasses of premium ice-cold beer, squeezed through the crowd, and sat down in front of Luluwo, who was surrounded by people.

This adventurer named Luluwo has recently been very popular in the local Reid area, and the reason is naturally because of her willingness to selflessly teach people widely the techniques of battle, especially how to invade and counter-invade.

Being invaded is an unavoidable part for newcomers to Sain, and the Reid people have been overwhelmed by invasions these days, unable to effectively fight back. Just as they were looking for someone to consult, Luluwo appeared, naturally winning people’s welcome.

Thanks to her, the Reid’s strength has improved rapidly to the point that they are no longer easily manipulated, a true philanthropist.

"Lost again? Really, don’t say I’m your master when you go out," Luluwo drank the ice beer in one gulp, like a tough lady with satisfaction, and said with a confident smile, "Then I will teach you a Forbidden Technique, gather around to listen. Today I only teach it to people with fate, don’t pass it to outsiders."

The crowd, full of excitement, gathered around, only to see her shaking her slender finger and saying:

"What I’m teaching today is a derivative technique of long-distance running, it’s called——"

She deliberately paused, seeing that people were hooked by her words, then smiled and said:

"Monster Pile Diving!"

Sain Dungeon, Nimgefo.

"Click—"

Fanen loaded the gun, aimed at the White Mask, ready to shoot, confident he could hit the target, at least his back.

But just before he pulled the trigger, a spear crossed in front of him, blocking the shot.

"What’s wrong?" Fanen looked at Uffie.

"Don’t attack yet, do you see that Heavy Armor Knight?" Uffie intently stared at the Big Tree Guard, quickly assessing its power. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"I see him, but my aim is good, I won’t accidentally hit him."

"No, that’s not the point,"

Uffie shook her head, "That guy is watching us, I think if we make any rash moves, like your bullet hitting the White Mask near him, even if it doesn’t hit him, we will still be attacked."

She continued, "That Knight looks like he’s patrolling, maybe he has his own Domain, as long as we don’t step into his patrol Domain, maybe we won’t be attacked—provided we don’t provoke him first."

Uffie’s speculation wasn’t baseless, it was informed by some adventurers studying the behavioral habits of Sain Dungeon’s monsters, using Calia Knight Mugram as an example.

Both are knights, she felt the Big Tree Guard might follow this rule.

So they chose to hold their position, even retreated a few steps.

Then an adventurer’s favorite occurrence unfolded.

"Neigh!" The horse under the Big Tree Guard made a neighing sound, the Big Tree Guard suddenly turned, eyes fixed—on the White Mask!

Accompanied by the booming sound as the Golden Spear hit the ground, the Big Tree Guard chased after the White Mask, disappearing from sight in a rumbling hurry.

Angry shouts from the White Mask could be heard in the distance.

Monsters fighting monsters, an adventurer’s preferred scene.

Uffie showed a satisfied smile.

Uncertain what outcome his shot would have caused, Fanen felt things were good as they were.

"When did you get here?" He looked at Uffie, who replied:

"Not much before you, you could guess from the battle scenario earlier."

The two returned to the cliff, where a sphere of golden light quietly floated, known as the blessing.

As they approached, the light extended towards them, as if guiding them over.

Uffie knew more than Fanen about this, she immediately thought of something upon seeing the blessing, for example, one of Sain Dungeon’s symbols, the bonfire.

Thus, she touched the blessing without hesitation, the golden light splashing bright rays around her. She pulled out the Holy Grail Bottle and found it automatically filled.

"The bonfire has changed its appearance..." she muttered to herself.

"What?" Fanen asked.

Then Uffie explained her deductions, and Fanen took some time to digest it, smoothing out the information gap between them.

"So this is Sain Dungeon."

Fanen looked at Nimgefo’s scenery, something he had never seen before, lamented: "Other areas of this Dungeon must be very spectacular, such a pity I couldn’t explore because of illness."

Spectacular... Uffie thought of Fran Fort full of poisonous mud, but didn’t shatter Fanen’s beautiful imagination.

After all, from a certain perspective, Fran Fort is also quite "spectacular," isn’t it?

"Since we met here, Isha and Mr. Basque should come here too," she sat down in front of the blessing, letting the warm light shine on her body, "Let’s rest and wait here."

During their waiting time, they chatted, naturally focusing on the Dungeon, especially the previous scenes.

Initially, their discussion was serious, like where the Boundary Land might be outside, the most probable historical timeframe for the Broken War, what Supreme Will and Elden Ring might be...
