Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?

The way the other party showed their fascination with Sain made him a bit jealous.

Recently, something made him want to praise Selene.

The fact that he was saved by the weapon of Lion Knight Ornstein during the Black Hawk's Chaos, claiming to have been under the protection of the Sain Dungeon, possibly established some sort of connection, warning those who had intentions against the Yanor Kingdom to be cautious, lest they provoke the still mysterious Sain Dungeon.

This method of using the fox's power to intimidate produced quite a substantial effect, indeed deterring some villains.

"It was written by the old King who has abdicated, and the current young King also sent a letter, along with a delegation, but their intentions are obvious. In the past few days, they have been probing with indirect inquiries about our country's situation, and it's easy to see what they are trying to do."

"Even indirect inquiries can be made; the current warrior country has truly lost the warrior spirit."

Ainz III sighed, "Give it to me, let me see what that old guy Fred wrote. It's been many years since we've had contact, and I don't even know if that guy has senility now."

His tone sounded unfriendly, but not fierce, instead, it had a strange teasing undertone.

Selene handed the letter to her father, her eyes slightly changing, thinking:

Could it be that when my father secretly went out to be an adventurer, one of his teammates was truly the old King Fred of the Warrior Country? Is the rumor true? Then the rumors about the identities of the other teammates...

So why could the Yanor Kingdom and the Warrior Country still clash these years?

Ainz III unfolded the slightly crumpled, obviously repeatedly read letter, glanced at it, and suddenly couldn't help but laugh heartily.

"Hahaha, this old guy, hahaha, interesting, his situation is no better than mine!"

The letter from the old King Fred of the Warrior Country was a bit baffling both in appearance and in content.

The letter written by himself had a very wild feeling of the older generation of warriors—extremely ugly handwriting.

And the meaning that Selene deciphered using reading magic could be summarized as…

Fred wants to dispatch a large delegation to the Yanor Kingdom to learn about the warrior spirit!

And it also mentioned spending a lot of money to request Hero Elsa to go to the Warrior Country to preach, narrating how she fought under the heavy pressure of Eliphas.

These requests seem like there's nothing wrong, and they're quite understandable, right?

But thinking about it carefully, the two countries just fought a war not long ago, and their historical relations are quite tense, and now even the Yanor Kingdom is somewhat unstable with domestic issues, so how could they possibly trust the entry of a delegation as large as the letter mentions, potentially numbering in the thousands!

How could Fred dare to write such an outrageous request!

Since receiving the letter, Selene couldn't help but mutter about whether King Fred really had senility, as it's supposed that the dragon blood often consumed by their royal family should enhance vitality and health, shouldn't it?

However, Ainz III seemed to show a schadenfreude appearance while reading the letter, almost as if he could still hear a mocking friend's tone.

He knows the reason why Fred is in such a hurry.

Because the Warrior Country has truly lost the warrior spirit of historical traditions!

Known for respecting the martial virtue, the Warrior Country, a nation blessed by the War God, famous for its bravery and forthright character, excellent warriors indeed are blessed by the War God to gain power enough to fight the Demon King, commonly known as the "Hero"!

It has the legacy of many combat skill masters, claiming that no matter one's stance, as long as one has talent, they can be taught the combat skill most suitable, making it a paradise yearned for by every warrior, and such traditional cultures intertwined form the national treasure known as the warrior spirit.

However, at some point, this treasure was gradually lost by its descendants.

From a certain point in history, the number of newborns with excellent magic talent surged in the Warrior Country, while correspondingly, those with talent in combat skills remained lukewarm, even tended to decline, along with an increase in infant mortality rate, leading to a disturbance in numerous combat skill inheritances.

And the impact wasn't this simple; the former saying "Swords and knives are the greatest glory" was abandoned, and "Praise the almighty magic" unknowingly became a popular catchphrase.

And in recent years, even more dangerous things have emerged.

Some young people declare that the great warriors, renowned battles, and others historically praised and promoted in the Warrior Country were manipulations by stubborn old men who uphold warrior spirit to confuse people, aiming to keep folks on the warrior's old path and abandon convenient and almighty magic.

Some even began deconstructing legends that once motivated people to pass on the warrior spirit, doing even more excessive things. Historical nihilism is rampantly fermenting in the Warrior Country.

Until today, the warrior spirit is already on the brink, with not a single hero appearing, not to mention those blessed by the War God.

Even the traditional War Festival was almost canceled due to domestic issues, only managed to be organized with Fred and many other living elders' firm insistence, and is finally set to take place soon.

It can be said that this year's War Festival is Fred's last resort!

If it cannot awaken the warrior spirit lost among the people, the future of the Warrior Country will truly be plunged into chaos!

By then, maybe it will be renamed the Magic Country, losing the foundational blessing of the War God, and unable to produce even a single hero!

"Hahaha, haha..."

Wiping away the tears of laughter, Ainz III handed the letter back to Selene, having already reached a conclusion in his heart.

"If it were up to me, I'd agree to this poor old man's last request."

"Agree, huh..."

Selene still felt a bit uneasy, thinking back on what warrior spirit their country actually had worth learning.

The bunch invading and infiltrating the Sain Dungeon all day long? That would just make them learn to be more wretched, and if learned, it might distort the warrior spirit.

Ainz III noticed the concern in Selene's tone and was about to say something to assure her it wasn't a bad thing.

But right then, the door of the bedchamber was knocked, and Ainz III looked at the clock, realizing it was already time.

With permission granted, General Gulimanpo walked in and said:

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to Sain."

Ainz III nodded, feeling a sense of gratitude and said:

"I should also go and give my thanks to this dungeon that saved me."
