Chapter 551: Chapter 379: The Fran Guard Oath No Longer Exists

"This is the Curse Frog. Back then, Master Gapar was the first to be taken down by these little creatures."

"Although I’ve seen the ones Roger tamed, it does feel more authentic seeing them in their natural habitat."

"President, would you like to experience what being curse death feels like? I’ve got some rust monsters here to make it even more authentic."

"No way."

"Tsk, can’t believe you didn’t fall for it."

Watching Ceder and Luluwo banter ahead, Leon’s expression was indescribable, and he wondered:

Weren’t we supposed to head to Yanor Londo initially?

Later he found out that Ceder came to Fran Fort to form the Sun Warrior covenant, in preparation for exploring the Painted World.

It makes sense; if you want to quickly get on good terms with Solar, becoming a Sun Warrior is never wrong. To get close to Brass Woman, becoming a Dark Moon Sword should be the choice.

But there’s another problem, which is...

Ceder hadn’t been inside Sain Dungeon before, and even if he had, he probably only wandered around the superficial layers a few times, never venturing deeper.

So if he wants to go to Yanor Londo now, he has to go through Yirushier of Cold Valley, which requires passing through Casas Underground Tomb first; and above all, they need to get through Fran Fort first...

Mama Mia.

Leon had thought this was just a routine task, not expecting it to become such a complicated matter.

There’s no choice but to go slowly since the guild will ensure their reward either way.

Looking at Ceder’s back, Leon couldn’t help but recall the story of this president’s past.

To delve deeper, he had arrived here a few days before Ceder reached Bed City. Both were then newcomers to the city, but by now they’ve become old townsmen.

It was said that in his youth, Ceder was quite the legendary figure, a Gold Level adventurer who mingled with many large organizations and powers, entangled in relationships complex enough to tire out a web-spinning spider.

Later, something happened, and he got injured. What once was a talent destined for legend got blocked, leaving him at the level of a Gold Level adventurer. Afterward, he settled in and took a position at the adventurer’s guild, until now.

What a pity; if his talent had remained, the ranks of the Legendary Magicians would have gained another member.

Watching Ceder push open the gates of Fran Fort, Leon sighed, drew out his weapon, and prepared for battle with the First Stage Fran Undead Team.

He also prepared mentally to be burnt to ashes by the following Ember King stage.

...

However, after the battle concluded and they returned to the Fire Transmission Ceremony, Leon’s expression was one of profound surprise.

Because this time they got burnt to death exceptionally fast...no, no! The speed at which they defeated the First Stage Undead Team was nearly cut in half compared to before, naturally speeding up the process of dealing with the Ember King stage Undead Team!

He immediately fixed his gaze on Ceder, fully aware it was all thanks to him, while Luluwo looked like he wanted to cling to his leg, saying, "Could you join my team? You could even be the team leader!"

Ceder, on the other hand, shook his damaged, fancy mage robe with a sharp intake of breath, feeling quite the ache.

Throughout the battle, he didn’t cast any offensive spells but rather navigated the edges of the battlefield, casting one beneficial magic after another on the two of them and continuously releasing support magic according to the terrain and fight conditions. Some spell names they had never even heard of.

Leon silently made a comparison between Fingerley and Ceder in his heart, both being Gold Level.

The conclusion was, if the two were to spar, Fingerley would be thoroughly outmaneuvered.

He’s gained a much clearer understanding of this president’s strength, and the more he knew, the more he was shocked.

Watching the two juniors in awe, Ceder tilted his head, a smile at the corner of his mouth, clearly pleased but holding back, not saying a word. This trait was just like Gapar’s.

The following adventure could be described completely by the word "Smooth."

Although Ceder was known to the people as someone who hadn’t entered a dungeon, he actually had complete knowledge of all the monsters and traps inside, always pulling out various tools to solve problems, making people curious about what was really hidden under his all-covering robe.

For the first time, Leon truly understood what "a good support magician can make a battle twice as effective with half the effort" meant.

The expedition of the Casas Underground Tomb went smoothly. He went to Lake Lienia to gather a few people to help deal with Overlord Vonier; otherwise, he didn’t feel confident facing Overlord with just the three of them.

Entering Yirushier required a Little Puppet from the group of Deep Bishops; fortunately, unlike the Academy Hui Stone Key from Reyalucaria, this item isn’t bound to the adventurer. As long as one person has the Little Puppet, they can take a limited number of people into Yirushier.

Once in Yirushier, everything became manageable; they quickly switched to a sprint mode.

Ignored all the Fire Execution Witches, Pope Knights, Dorpo, and Silver Knights, making their way to the kitchen bonfire as quickly as possible, where they saw a painting as tall as an adult next to the bonfire.

Upon seeing it again, Luluwo felt a lingering fear, and Leon’s heart rate quickened a bit too.

"It seems we’ve reached our destination, thank you all for your effort."

Ceder examined the painting and just as he was about to reach out to touch it, he said, "The rest is up to me..."

Before he could finish, someone suddenly popped out from the painting and ran straight into his embrace.
