Chapter 100 Chapter 36: Dungeon Waltz
5,000 gold coins per person.
"Never!" Vankle roared almost immediately, his head hitting the ceiling and the whole hall trembling. "Never!"
"It's wicked." Victor's friend added, a flying mirror floating across his face, and he scrutinized the barrier that prevented them from entering the depths of the dungeon. It was a purple replica of the shield around the Gollum Castle. "I'm sure he raised the price somehow."
Winkel thought that the Forsaken had reformed after placing a dragon statue in the first hall of the dungeon. However, the lich taunted it in a twisted way, forcing the noble, generous dragon to make the ultimate sacrifice!
The Lich didn't give up on his old tricks. If anything, it's that he's gotten worse!
"Paralyzed by indecision?" Frebon's voice echoed through the walls, the Forsaken hiding deep within his realm, and the V&V teleported at the entrance. Stay away from the wrath of the dragon.
"Dragons don't pay!" Van Kerr said, activating [Spell Clear] and attempting to pass through the barrier. Instead, the magnetic field around him hits the magic protection, like two pieces of armor colliding with each other, one unable to break through the other.
Yours (spell cleaning does not affect [Fu

of anti-VAI

Barrier]!
"Before you use that Pe
Do you really think that I won't fight back after K has taken my castle?" Fu
ibo
The voice triumphantly to Vai
queu
Giggled.
"I'm going to break the ceiling, go around it!" The dragon roared in reply, and in the face of the leading demon, it refused to give up.
"Your Majesty can't do that." Manlin Victor says that he and Knight Chia are examining Magical Defenses. "I analyzed it with a spell, and it formed a dome around the dungeon."
"Can you turn it off?" Knight Kia asked the Chancellor. "You can cast a ninth-tier spell now, right?" This barrier must be within the same layer. β
Fu
ibo
The sound of laughter echoed through the dungeon. "Tenth floor, [Paladin]!" Layer X!"
"Even then, it would take me months to create a counter," the White House chief of staff replied. "Don't you have a built-in anti-magic device?" I thought (the saints) could ignore most of the spells. β
"I've tried." The paladin replied. "If it can resist Van Kle's [Spell Purification], no anti-magic can pierce it."
"In that case...... Manling Victor walked casually through the fence and to the other side, dressed not at all ugly. Haha!"
"What......" the Forsaken's voice almost became awkward. How did you do that?"
"[]," Manlin Victor replied triumphantly, turning the Lich's fortune around. "In any magical protection, I am considered an invitee. It caused me some questions and it was time to come in handy. β
"I counted the anti-magic effects, but not Perks' performance in the entry conditions......" "I'll make it up."
"Can you take us there, minion?" Van Kerr asked, and his friend shook his head. Obviously, his Pe
K only counts him as an "invitee".
It seems that for the sake of a prize of one million gold coins, the dragon has no choice but to compromise.
"Manling Chia," Maggot said with a heavy heart, looking at the weak, unworthy creature. "Pay me."
[Paladin] was Vai
queu
Shocked by the fact that she had been given a purpose in life, she was so shocked that her little mind could not handle the request. "What did you say?"
"I will not succumb to the greed of the Forsaken!" Vai
queu
Allege. "We can't let him win the war in our hearts. So pay for me. β
"Why me?" Knight Kia protested, pointing his sword at his friend Victo
γ "Why not him?" That's his job!"
"Spoiling me is your destiny!" Her arrogance and rudeness annoyed Winkel; He keeps giving her opportunities to prove that he's a minion, but she's always disappointed. "Victor's friend is not like you, he has children to take care of."
"yes, I just got a raise from my parents," Manlin Victor replied, then looked at the ceiling. "Hey, Fury, is your spell an enhanced version of [Spirit Shield]?"
"It was an inspiration," replied the owner of the dungeon. "I'm surprised you know this spell though. Obviously, you've been learning magic since we went our separate ways. β
"Since it can cover the entire dungeon, do you think it can protect a city?"
"Probably. How big is the city?"
While Manlin Victor debates spells with the cruel Lich, Winkel turns his attention to Knight Kia. He stares at her sternly and intently, like parents who demand that naughty children follow the rules.
"Guys, can I ......" Knight Kia cleared his throat, finally realizing that he couldn't escape responsibility this time, "Can I borrow some money?"
"No," Winkel said flatly.
"Kia, can't you pay the tuition?" Victor asked, surprised by the female Manlin's stinginess. "It's five thousand pounds, and if you pay for Vajkel, it's ten thousand pounds. It's not a big deal. β
"I, I'm short of money right now, but I'll pay you back as soon as possible, I promise!"
Charm Test...... Fail!
Knight Kia sounds unprofitable!
Friend Victor wisely doubted her words and assessed the financial risks. "How short?"
Knight Kia made an embarrassed expression. ββ¦ A short shade of red. β
"You're in debt?!" The minister replied, causing the paladin to flinch.
"Don't say it out loud, they're going live to hell!" The knight protested.
"I knew it!" Winkel shouted, ignoring the humiliation of her. "That's why Grandpa can't hear you!"
"Kia, how can you be in debt?" Friend Victor was speechless. "You're a flash knight!" The greatest hero of the land!"
"I have a noble field, but wandering alcoholism is not a sustainable way of life!"
"Yet, we've been given a large sum of money to conquer J-" The knight glared at Manlin Victor as he stopped. "Oh, yes, you're not involved."
"It's your responsibility," Winkel said. "This is the old demon's punishment for your poor financial skills."
Rather than using this intelligence as an opportunity to improve, [the Paladin] clings to her delusions of madness. "I'd rather live a poor life than be rewarded for my immoral behavior."
"You know, well," said Manling Victor, before Winkel could taunt her mercilessly, "I will lend you ten thousand, and you will be able to pay you and your majesty." β
"How much should I pay you?" Knight Kia's eyes narrowed, full of suspicion.
"No usury, no interest...... Although I can use your soul as collateral......"
"Don't push me, Vic."
In K
ight Kia paid Vai with the borrowed money

After the entrance fee, the group made their way up the narrow staircase of the dungeon, and soon entered a huge and long underground corridor. The trail goes all the way down and all the way down......
Skill check successful!
Click.
When they were a third of the way through, a heavy object fell behind the three of them. Van Kerr sneaked back from his shoulder. "What's the matter?"
A flint stone as big as a dragon fell behind them and rolled down, as if to crush them.
Due to the cramped space, Vai
queu
Unable to turn around, he lazily raised his tail towards the boulder......
Then whipped with a whip!
Strength check successful!
The stone slammed into the back door with a loud bang and became embedded in the stone. The flames licked Winkel's scales, filling them with a feeling of pleasure.
"Seriously, a boulder trap?" Victor asked, clearly disappointed. "It's a clichΓ©!"
"I knew this was going to happen." Fu
ibo
The voice complained. "I knew it was going to happen, but I listened to their sweet words......"
"Wait, it's Star Metal." Knight Kia walked over to Vai
queu
Below, take a closer look at the stone. She was so angry that her face turned red. "You have a lot of Sta
metalγ This is the most precious material in the world and is very effective against monsters...... And you're using it as a trap?"
Subsequently, Furiben paused for a long time. "Once again, my artistic soul is not appreciated. Alas, even if you stop my falling rocks, you won't escape this corridor of deathβ"
"Sweet!" Manlin Victor shouted as he found a trap hidden in the wall. "A wand with a trap! Who wants?"
"Give them to me, minion." Wankel says he is always eager to add new trinkets to his collection.
"I'm sure there's a crater up ahead," Knight Kia said, checking the ground with his sword as he slowly pushed forward. "Follow me, I can handle it."
Meanwhile, his friend Victor is destroying the magic trap, which is the happiest thing of his life. "A [terrible wither] wand!" I've always wanted one!"
The dejected sigh of the "Forsaken" sounded like music in Winkel's ears.
Next up is a casual waltz in the dungeon, Vai
queu
Take the time to rate the architecture of each room. While the evil Frebon is best forgotten, the dragon has to admit that he has a talent for building tight spaces.
"Eight out of ten, nine out of ten." Winkel and his retinue made such a decision after passing through a wall full of gargoyles. The statues moved briefly, stopped them, noticed the dragon, and wisely returned to their original positions. "I find the quest for perfect symmetry dizzying, but this dungeon is severely lacking in warm colors. Like red and gold. β
The sound of rats barking on the wall was a nice touch, even though it made him hungry.
"Oh, a wand [of a large metal unit]." Knight Kia said happily as he looked at the pile of magical items that Manlin Victor was holding in his arms. "I thought no one could vote directly?" I can- - - - - - "
"Don't touch me unless you pay your debt"
The paladin slammed the Chancellor's arm before opening the door to the next room. Unfortunately, they were too small by dragon standards, which forced Winkel to squeeze through.
"Three out of ten!" Van Kerl roared, and as soon as he was halfway there, he struggled to get through. "This dungeon is not dragon-friendly!"
"It's a design feature." Fu
ibo
The voice mocked him. "Just high enough for a dragon to pass through, but too crowded to make it as uncomfortable as possible!"
There is no limit to his cruelty!
In the end, Manlin Victor and Knight Kia had to push him over, and Winkel's back was against the ceiling.
Luckily, his efforts were rewarded with more than a dozen treasure chests; Poor, lonely vaults are waiting for a dragon to plunder them.
Only the destitute knight Kea remained suspicious and drew his sword. "It smells like a simulated trap."
"Of course, don't come here," Manlene Victor said. "I get along very well with them."
Hearing him speak, one of the boxes immediately jumped in the direction of Victor, startling the knight Kia. The Prime Minister looked at this little energetic thing, exuding warmth and care.
The imitator asked, almost hopefully, "Daddy?"
Manlin Victor gasped. "Kid!"
"Daddy!" All the boxes in the room grew legs and rushed towards the Prime Minister. "Daddy!"
As a sign of fatherly affection, Death threw his wand and sickle on the knight Kia, and then rushed into the loving chest. "I'm going to adopt you!" Friend Victor screams almost like a little girl, while these imitators purr happily. "I'm going to adopt you all!"
"Look, minion?" Winkel humiliated the Chia Knight, who watched the scene with a strange expression. This is true servant brotherhood. It's something you'll never experience!"
"It's been delayed long enough!" Fu
ibo
With a roar, the walls opened.
Knight Kia immediately took a fighting stance, while Manlin Victor was busy embracing the imitator. When the duck came out of the secret passage, a terrible shock reverberated through the room. Their eyes are filled with anger and a primal desire to see the world burn to the ground.
The dragon in the room was delighted. "Finally a free buffet!"
Then the ducks noticed Vai
queu
β¦β¦ There is also saliva running down the maggot's mouth. The birds' expressions changed from cruelty to fear.
Days of singing made Ichichi very hungry, and he would never refuse a roast duck.
Finally, in Vai
queu
After eating all the monsters, friend Victo
Adopted half of the monsters in the dungeon. Ducks in particular are so spicy and delicious that dragons consider keeping them with cats to enjoy devouring again and again.
"You know, I was worried it was a 'painful' dungeon, but so far it's been a very enjoyable and relaxing experience," said Knight Kia, a group of monsters following Manlin Victor like kindergitters. "I'll be back."
"Me too!" Manlin Victor carries a small cooing metal slime on his shoulder.
"No!" Fu
ibo
Angry voices echoed. "No!"
"Quiet," Winkel ordered his old and new minions. "I smell gold."
After a while, they finally found the treasure of the dungeon!
What a precious thing! Mountains of coins, gems, and glittering things, sealed in a vault much bigger than Winkel's own! The thought of adding all this wealth to himself filled his heart with rainbows!
However, as soon as the group entered, the door closed behind the dragon before the dragon could take a golden bath. The coin moved on its own.
"No......" Van Kerr shook his head in horror as the pile of treasure turned into a human form. No way!"
He faces the ultimate defense against the dragon. A living treasure!
A humanoid coin golem challenges the V&V, a monster bigger than the monster defending Winkel's own treasure. The creature shone with the brilliance of a million coins and gemstones, and its glow was as terrifying as its glow.
Winkel could not hurt real gold, and he himself could not bear to do so.
Therefore, he had no choice but to throw a beggar at it.
"Chia Knight, do it!" He commanded, then turned his head away, and the paladin rushed forward with a wicked grin. The dragon could not bear the slaughter that followed.
However, he heard every disgusting moment. every conflict between poverty and wealth; Each sword strike cuts a coin in half. Throughout the ordeal, Victor had to pat his master's arm to appease him.
A minute later, motivated by debt relief, Knight Kea kills the poor bunch. She will be burdened with this sin and guilt for the rest of her life.
"Is it done?" Winkel asked, looking away until Manlin Victor assured him that it was safe. The dragon looked at the treasure left to him and was comforted, for the gold would soothe his wounded heart.
Intelligence check successful!
Van Kerr was immediately suspicious. "Forsaken, are you playing your old prank again?"
The lich waited a moment before answering. "No ......"
"He didn't turn gold into lead," said Manlin Victor
li
g Victo
After examining the treasures, he said, and then immediately changed his tone, "because this is already lead turned into gold." Once the coins cross a certain boundary, the spell will restore them to their original state. β
"Makes sense," K
ight Kia said. "A dungeon like this must be ridiculously expensive. I would be surprised if Furyben had enough money to maintain it and could afford such a large treasure. β
"You can turn lead into gold at any time, Forsaken?" Van Kerr was furious. "Why? Why did you use your power to make lead in the first place? You could have saved the moon!"
Fu
ibo
Sighed in a truly utter failure.
"Let's take your stuff and go."
