CHAPTER 561: CHAPTER 383: CHARGE AT THE POPE

"It’s actually President Ceder..."

"Why would the President appear here?"

"This is the first time I’ve seen such a big figure come to the Dungeon!"

With just one sentence from Luluwo, Ceder instantly became the center of everyone’s attention.

Although on the way here, he had been imagining how to attract everyone’s attention, how to become the brightest star in the crowd. It seems he achieved his goal through unconventional means, but...

It felt strange, as if something was off. Right, he wanted to attract attention on his own, not rely on Luluwo!

Ceder’s lips trembled. If he had to go on stage and say a few words, what could he say? Could someone give him a "previously on" summary?

[Chairman, listen to me, this is what happened]

Luluwo’s voice appeared in his mind; it was undoubtedly the effect of magic.

A few seconds later, he understood everything.

[Five days have passed since you entered the Painting World of Yanor Londo. During these days, everything about Yanor Londo has been fermenting. Explaining everything is really troublesome, so I’ll just focus on the main points.]

[The Holy Light Church declared that the Dark Moon Faith is not on the side of the Evil God, but did not address its legitimacy, while forbidding Holy Light believers from interacting with anything related to the Dark Moon or Starfire. Private contact is considered apostasy.]

[After the news spread that you can really see Gwendolin in Yanor Londo, the number of Oath Takers of the Dark Moon Sword has surged. Many who previously weren’t interested, curious just to see what meeting a true God felt like, joined in.]

[Due to the large number of ears required to exchange for the Dark Moon Priest Ring, activities of the Dark Moon Swords are everywhere in the Dungeon, and there aren’t enough invaders to kill.]

[There are also miscellaneous issues such as Princess Serine adamantly wanting to enter Yanor Londo, the King’s worsening illness, and all of Solar’s related products being sold out; I’ll tell you about these later.]

[The most important thing is, two days after you entered Yanor Londo, the leader of Yilushier, the "Phantom of Pope Shalivan," suddenly could be effectively wounded by adventurers. After multiple investigations, it was confirmed that his strength has indeed waned. It’s uncertain whether it will rise again, so now is the best time to subdue him.]

[Coincidentally, I have excellent intelligence. Pope Shalivan once imprisoned the Dark Moon Knight Order’s Captain Yurshika in an underground prison. Could the first Captain of the Dark Moon Knight Order, Gwendolin, also have suffered a grim fate?]

[Fingerley and I are releasing this intelligence right now, perfectly leveraging the current enthusiasm of those who have taken the Dark Moon Sword Oath towards Gwendolin to charge against Shalivan’s Phantom!]

After listening to Luluwo’s explanation, Ceder finally filled in the plot he had missed in recent days.

He still had some doubts, such as how could such a well-known event, like Yurshika being imprisoned by Shalivan, be known only to Luluwo despite Yilushier being open for so long? Surely others should know, but these details were not crucial. After all, Luluwo was the first to reveal it.

From the current perspective, the entire "Cold Valley of Yilushier" has only the final boss unbeaten, and the remaining areas are more or less clear. It’s time to mobilize the adventurers.

To excite the adventurers, the exclusive information I now hold should have a good effect. Ceder weighed the situation in his heart, then nodded and stepped forward, the crowd automatically parting to create a path for him, allowing him to reach the stage unhindered.

"So, the next thing I’m going to talk about is the continuation of the story of the Shadow Sun, this deity. I just fought alongside the brave Sun Warrior, achieving victory against Ornstein and Smough, and unveiling the most mysterious veil of Yanor Londo’s Painting World."

His voice carried magic power. As soon as he finished speaking, the people immediately quieted down, listening to his narrative in silence.

Sure enough, it’s better to speak of serious matters quietly, although I do quite like lively scenes.

Ceder cleared his throat and recounted all his experiences in the Painting World. He even used magic to project his memories into images in the air, requiring high magical proficiency and technical skill. Real strength indeed allows one to act freely.

When Solar was seen slicing the Stone Statue Ghost with a few cuts, several people in the crowd wearing the same iron bucket helmets cheered.

When Ornstein and Smough appeared together, someone who looked like a Royal Guard in the crowd quickly pulled out an Image Stone to take pictures.

When the Sunshine Princess’s face appeared, the previously quiet crowd erupted into a commotion, even more excited than when they saw the duo.

When the Phantom of Gwen Ivia was broken, plunging Yanor Londo into night, the crowd’s excitement increased further.

After that, Ceder spoke of all his speculations about Gwendolin, the story of maintaining the Fire Transmission alone in the Royal City.

At the bonfire in Academy Gate Town, a small figure with a Sword Corpse Greatsword on their back, wearing dirty and tattered clothes, walked out, initially just looking for something to eat and ending up hearing the final speech.

When Ceder mentioned, "Shalivan very likely used some means to break into Yanor Londo and imprison Gwendolin," she paused in her tracks.
