CHAPTER 597: CHAPTER 401: TO THE GLORIOUS YANOR LONDO (PART 2)

It’s hard to imagine that the same scene can evoke different feelings at different times.

This is the reward for the adventurers who defeated the Ember King; at least today, before leaving the Sain Dungeon, this will be the most glorious moment for Yanor Londo.

"Wow..." Leon couldn’t help but smile, as if he’d seen something good, "Even if Gwyn King appeared the next second, I wouldn’t be surprised."

"Why don’t we take a look around?" someone suggested.

Everyone nodded; they all wanted to see what this place had transformed into.

But after walking a few steps, a corridor around the corner suddenly revealed groups of Silver Knights!

"Have the monsters reappeared?"

Their stomachs instantly turned, as it seemed they’d have to fight again on empty reserves...

But when the Silver Knights saw them, they didn’t attack. Instead, they lined up along the corridor sides, standing still like statues.

"What, what is this for?"

They cautiously walked past, and at the next moment, something unexpected happened.

The Silver Knights placed their hands in front of them and bowed slightly. This seemed like they were saluting!

"#%...￥!"

The adventurer who stepped forward retreated quickly, too shocked to speak clearly, and it was impossible to hear what he was saying.

"Are they saluting us?"

Everyone looked at each other, faces filled with surprise and a deep sense of honor.

After all, these are Silver Knights—any random one is quite troublesome—and they’re saluting us right now?

Because we defeated Elderly?

At this thought, everyone wanted to shout: Elderly, you died well!

At this moment, positive emotions reached a peak, a feeling that could surpass the Happiness Egg.

Excited and a bit nervous, they moved through the lineup of Silver Knights. Some wanted to walk through again but hesitated, afraid of provoking the Silver Knights.

"Alright, would you be happy if you were repeatedly made to salute?"

Walking through the now lively Yanor Londo, the adventurers saw people dressed differently from the current ones, like phantoms they couldn’t touch.

But the appearance of these phantoms undoubtedly added life here; everyone spontaneously took out their Image Stones to capture memories, laughing and photographing everywhere. Such a joyous and relaxing opportunity was rare in the Sain Dungeon.

These images, once released, would surely be the greatest evidence of their defeat of Elderly.

Apart from the bustling phantoms, Bat Monsters occasionally flew over the sky, bringing phantoms of Warriors, while giant guards stood their ground, and when adventurers passed by, they’d tap the ground with their weapons in greeting.

Fingerley awkwardly imitated the Silver Knights’ saluting gesture toward the giant guards, but his posture was so off that a hearty laugh came from beneath the heavy helmet.

Fingerley’s face turned red instantly, and he quickly walked to the front of the group. After turning a corner, he suddenly shouted, "Come and see quickly."

Every scene within the castle was worth calling people over to see; when everyone got there, they finally heard a "ding ding" sound.

To their surprise, it was a live giant Blacksmith forging weapons. Upon seeing everyone, he immediately asked, "Forging, want it?"

Luluwo suddenly felt light on her back and turned to see Elsa dash toward the giant Blacksmith, handing over her greatsword with both hands.

She looked like she was half-asleep but began sniffing as she saw the giant Blacksmith.

The giant Blacksmith took the greatsword with one hand, scratching his head in confusion, seemingly unsure of how to enhance this weapon.

Eventually, he offered each person a chance for free weapon enhancement.

Elsa lingered by the blacksmith, unwilling to leave, while Luluwo smiled helplessly, bidding farewell to everyone and staying with Elsa.

The group continued to wander the castle, and the Brass Woman waved coolly at everyone from a distance, as a greeting.

The only regret was that the Sunshine Princess’s bedchamber was still empty, though one could pledge the Princess Guardian oath here.

Fingerley suddenly bid farewell to those who wanted to keep sightseeing; he was heading to the Tower of Prisoners outside to see Yurshika.

Of course, everyone wouldn’t miss such an opportunity, so they followed him.

Before leaving the castle, a squad of Silver Knights stopped them, holding items in their hands as if asking them to accept them.

[Golden Branch Staff Spear], [Yurshika Spear], [Dragon Hunting Bow].

"Whoa, can you choose gifts as well!"

The adventurers felt like honored guests now, though there were only three gifts; they accepted them for the time being, planning to distribute them later.

Stepping onto the spiral mechanism and crossing the Invisible Bridge, Fingerley saw Yurshika sitting by the tower, while others had already taken out their Image Stones and started filming.

After composing his expression, he held up Elderly’s soul and walked over.

Originally, he wanted to bring back Gwendolin’s remnants, but unfortunately, upon Elderly’s death, Gwendolin’s remains also vanished.

"Ah, Dark Moon Sword, you have returned."

Seeing the deep soul, Yurshika lowered her eyes and spoke sadly:

"So my brother has... Did thou bring my brother release?"

"We did it together," Fingerley pointed to everyone behind him.

"I must pay tribute to thou warriors and thank thee for vanquishing the enemy."

Yurshika revealed a faint smile, "With another Ember King returning, the world’s continuation is within reach. I hope Dark Moon blessings accompany thee on the path of Fire Transmission."

We seem to no longer need to transmit fire, Fingerley said to himself.

"Now the enemy is defeated, I shall depart this place to fulfill my role as Commander of the Dark Moon Knight Order, and thee shall continue thy Fire Transmission journey."

"I hope thy complete the great Fire Transmission, but..."

Yurshika paused, looking around at everyone, then laughed lightly:

"If the journey is difficult, do come back and find me; the Dark Moon Knight Order always has a place for thee."

"Having good knights like thee by my side, I’d boast to my other brothers and sisters."

Upon hearing these words, his body seemed hit by thunder; it moved Fingerley close to tears, purely from emotion.

He had thought Yurshika would merely express gratitude and offer encouragement. Unexpectedly, she even extended a welcome for them to stay by her side if the Fire Transmission proved impossible.

This twist was even more heartening than the words of thanks!

A gentle breeze surrounded Yurshika, her figure gradually faded, and after nodding to everyone, her visage disappeared completely.

Left at the spot was a golden light point.

[Yurshika Holy Bell]

[Former Knight Commander, Yurshika’s brother gifted her the Holy Bell, whose chime surely comfort the lonely]

[Combat Skill: Praying for Blessings, allows slow recovery of life force over time]

Fingerley picked up the light point and gazed at the Yurshika Holy Bell for a long while, his silhouette slightly trembling, leading others to think he was crying.

Not expecting the captain to be so sentimental.

Matilda remarked, intending to walk over and console him, only to hear Fingerley murmur:

"Hehe, I got the Captain’s personal gear; it’s really beautiful..."

Matilda instantly pulled a face of exasperation, grabbing her captain’s collar and pulling him back, speaking coldly:

"Let’s go back and tell everyone outside the news here!"
