Chapter 499: Bad Things Always Happen
"Ah, as expected of the new map produced by Sain Dungeon, it still has that familiar taste."
In the Hunter's Dream, Leon lay contentedly among the white flowers, teasing a few small messengers with his fingers.
Fanen and the others took a long time to accept the appearance of the messengers, but as soon as Leon came in, or rather as soon as he saw the messengers, he exclaimed, "So cute!"
He immediately started to play with them, which left Isha and the others dumbfounded.
At this moment, besides him lying in the flower field, there were others busy in the Hunter's Dream. Maru, Drew, Tal, and the members of the Strategy Group were all gathered here for a rest. Not only them, but the Hasavi Team was also here.
Fingerley was now walking back and forth in this not-so-large Hunter's Dream. His otherwise handsome features were now scrunched up as if he had swallowed a lemon, his face full of confusion. If you got close, you could hear him muttering to himself:
"What's with this little girl from Yarn? She gives off such a vivid sense of déjà vu... Not good, very not good!"
Leon probably knew why he was so conflicted.
There were several baskets placed beside the Strategy Group and Hasavi Team, filled with supplies brought back from scouting in Yarn.
Besides conventional supplies like blood collection bottles and mercury bullets, some non-light point items from the dungeon were actually useful. For example, the clothes worn by beastified citizens could be stripped for personal use, some houses could be forcibly entered, where you could find some food and miscellaneous items.
It had been two or three days since they dealt with the capital and came here, enough time for Leon to explore Yarn completely, satisfying his long-lost exploration desire.
But it was just to satisfy his desire for exploration, after all, the monsters appearing in this area were somewhat inadequate for them, even under the Strong and Weak Balance authority, the beast clergy presented little threat to the Strategy Group, making them bleed would be already impressive.
So Leon's greatest joy along the way was observing the various maps and monster distributions of Yarn, smiling knowingly at familiar designs, and not concealing his happiness at new ones.
Exploring Sain Dungeon had already shifted from a "livelihood necessity" to a "purely personal hobby" for him. Compared to material wealth he could acquire, he valued the spiritual enjoyment more.
They collected these supplies on their exploration route, and these things were naturally not for their use but for the people outside the dungeon, namely the Reid people.
So many things happened in the past few days that the bards have new materials to adapt and remix.
After two days of sprinting, it was confirmed that the parasites had disappeared from this land, and no longer could people hear the screams caused by them.
As for what fate the parasites met after entering the dungeon, that remains unknown. Leon's intuition told him those bugs probably wouldn't come out of the dungeon anymore.
The Reid people, who had been hiding underground for two days to avoid the insect disaster, finally resurfaced, breathing in the free air and having time for post-disaster reconstruction. At least by now, several tent camps were set up, and some houses were being urgently repaired, barely inhabitable.
A faint vitality finally reappeared in Savis City, promising future vigor on Reid's land. The only pity was how long it would take for this nation to digest the pain.
It must be mentioned that those warriors from the Warrior Country rescued by Uffie, as well as some infected residents, returned healed after entering Sain Dungeon and could now carry tools to work together with others, truly a rare good news.
However, after the distressing ordeal, the warriors from the Warrior Country could not bring themselves to like Reid's land, constantly thinking about leaving.
It is also worth mentioning that after the soldiers learned that Leon and the others were adventurers from the Yanor Kingdom, their attitude became somewhat subtle, yet ultimately did not show any negative behavior or emotions since Leon and his companions were considered lifesavers.
When mentioning that Sain Dungeon could connect Reid Kingdom and Yanor Kingdom, the people from the Warrior Country reacted, um, maybe unable to accept it. Initially, Uffie even suggested making Reid a vassal state of the Warrior Country…
What vassal state can connect with the enemy nation of the suzerain country anytime, anywhere!
They might as well just hand Reid over to the Yanor Kingdom!
Reid people: We have no objection.
Anyway, eating anyone's rice is still eating, they really had no objection to this matter.
Besides, Leon would fetch some supplies from the Yanor Kingdom through Sain Dungeon these days to help the Reid people temporarily tide over the difficulties, but the teleportation from Reid to Yanor Kingdom was more spiritually draining, so the materials he could bring back in one go were initially limited.
Later, after reporting this to Princess Selene and Ainz III, he received a space ring temporarily lent to him by Princess Selene, finally increasing the carriable supplies, and also gained support from the royal family.
Ainz III was particularly interested in the tools produced in Yarn, almost asking for all of them for proper research.
