“…… What are you doing? The Golden Nightmare King appeared on the top floor of the Tower of Destiny and asked Lyle, who was stirring around in the alchemy cauldron with a long-handled spoon.

"Don't you understand after reading it~?" Colorful mist erupted from the alchemy cauldron, and a magical armor with the function of automatically matching the wearer's body shape floated out, slowly turning 360° in the air and falling into the chest next to it, "I'm making a refreshed hidden treasure chest, it's reasonable for the pioneers to eat meat, but I also have to give soup to the people behind me, this is a long-term job." ”

By the way, there are "Wooden Chests" in the tower that regularly replenish general consumables, "Boss Chests" that refresh with Elite and above monsters, and "Hidden Chests" that hide in the corners, only the latter has a different location each time, and it is up to Hermes and Gerals to choose their own location.

The Golden Nightmare King asked, "You want to increase the strength of mortals in this way to increase the victory rate of the continuation faction?" ”

Lyle hooked his fingers, and another pile of alchemy materials fell into the alchemy cauldron, which melted into a lump of liquid under the agitation of a long-handled spoon: "I don't have such intentions, it's purely for fun, and no matter what kind of sport it is, as long as the rules are fixed and valid for both parties, it is a qualified event." ”

The weaker the person, the more they rely on equipment and props, and through equipment and props, mortals can narrow the gap in strength with the demons, which is good. But from another point of view, if the Protoss and the Demon Race loot treasure chests on a large scale, the gap between mortals and them will only get farther and farther.

"Waste of time." The Golden Nightmare King expressed his displeasure with this answer.

"Time...... I'm interested in how the Mother of All Things spends her long time, but I guess I don't do any and empty my head and fall asleep, right? Otherwise, why can't even the will be broken after so many years? "Half of it was ridicule, half of it was genuinely curious.

Lyle has been a 'god' and has led the creation of the 'fantasy city', but he has not yet been a true creator god, and he can't imagine what he would do in this situation.

“…… Are you looking for death? The Golden Nightmare King's body was beating with lightning, and it was clear that all she heard was sarcasm.

Lyle was not worried that the other party would turn his anger into actual action, and he didn't raise his head and said: "If you are really bored and have nothing to do, you can go down and see the situation of the warriors, it is better to be in a hurry than to do nothing." ”

"Humph!" The Golden Nightmare King snorted coldly and disappeared without a trace.

Lyle muttered, "...... So what is this guy here for? ”

"Maybe you're just here to talk to an adult? After all, since the birth of the Mother of All Things, you're the only one qualified to be the person she chats with. Geralth, who had been loading goods in a warehouse not far away, teleported, "Of course, not counting the 'Lord of Destruction' whose identity is unknown. ”

The name was later told to Lyle by Gulakias, who was unable to obtain the information when he cast 'Shattered Nova'.

"If she hadn't been corrupted by her broken will, I would have believed it." Lyle tossed the freshly refined magic bow to Geralth.

"That's right~" Gerals replied, but his eyes flashed.

Unlike the light clouds on the surface, Lyle was affected by the arrival of the Golden Nightmare King, and accidentally refined an oversized weapon, which was given to him for disposal.

Lyle pointed to the corner of the workshop and commanded, "Also, don't forget to grab the advanced trap traps and cursed orbs, the exploration is too fast these days, and the fun game shouldn't end too soon." ”

"Oops~ It looks like I have to bear a lot of people's resentment again~" Part-time worker - Gerals said that he didn't want such a happy job to end prematurely.

》》》》》》

Because of a miraculous battle in which the weak defeated the strong, a certain adventurer of the Hestian clan was called a "hero" by the gods and adventurers of the Blue Continent, but the most provenance of his heroic qualities was the "Heresy Incident".

The monsters inside the dungeon follow the "soul inner circulation mechanism", affected by the power of the Sky Demon King, most of the souls will always behave like a madman, but occasionally a monster with a normal level of intelligence will be born, and this kind of monster is called a "heretic".

The heretics are eager to leave the dungeon and are unwilling to continue their lives fighting adventurers and other monsters. Under the mainstream values of "monster = evil = prey", the hero was once stigmatized by opposing other adventurers for guarding heretics, but later regained his reputation because of an unexpected accident.

The so-called "miraculous battle of defeating the strong with the weak", to put it bluntly, is that the weak are not as weak as imagined, the strong are not as strong as imagined, and the victory rate is extremely low but not zero, it is not something that can be reproduced casually, and it still depends on the opponent to achieve 100 points.

Only that noble "quality" is something that exists unconditionally and will accompany the hero throughout his life.

Just like this time, as the farthest pioneers, the hero's vanguard of high-level adventurers first accidentally triggered a teleportation trap to teleport to the temple, then cursed everyone except the most agile hero due to the negligence of the werewolf gladiator, and finally the monster tide that will never be absent.

If it were another adventurer, he would have abandoned his cursed companion out of practical considerations, which sounds quite ruthless, but it is common sense to 'seek self-protection before saving people', and even the most common 'rescue drowning people' advocates this. However, the hero can be called stupid and forcibly break through with the oil bottles, and complete the tasks of pathfinding, opening the way, breaking the back, and fighting the boss alone.

Eventually, the hero managed to lead his companions out of the temple, but he himself was mortally wounded, becoming the closest to death in the group.

............" The Golden Nightmare King 'watched' the actions of this group of people, having been watching from the moment they were tragically teleported to the temple.

It's not that she feels the aura of the hero's protagonist, it's just because this group of mortal adventurers is the one who has climbed to the highest floor at the moment, and she doesn't bother to go to other floors to comprehensively assess where it is more worth observing.

Instead of having fun escaping from the hero's thrilling temple, she is more concerned with the actual effects of the maze structure, traps, chests, monsters, bosses, and item drop mechanics. Although she created this world with great power, it was Lyle who designed it.

She was not moved by the hero's sacrificial spirit, otherwise she would not have stood by all the time, knowing that the hero has wandered before the death line several times.

But there was one thing she failed to perceive.

“…… The mortal ......" affected her shattered will, and the slightest trace was reduced.

Very little, less than one in 10,000, but it is indeed decreasing.

What truly continues the world is not the deeds of heroes, but the justice, kindness, heroism, perseverance, unyielding, and self-sacrifice brought by heroes.
