Chapter 1691 - 1005: The Benefits of Extinguishing Fire

Flames ignited on Leon’s body, as if his frame were firewood.

But after the initial burst, the flames began to flow into him, finally transforming into tiny sparks scattered across his body. Although it appeared more restrained, it carried a unique charm.

This was his latest discovery in the Sain Dungeon. He found that using Residual Fire with his current "Ash" form yielded better results than a winged human form. It not only enhanced various attributes but also provided a Flame Enchantment, similar to the King’s Soul from the Chaos Breeding Ground, and significantly replenished Life Force.

It was like a knock-off Ember King mode.

And from the perspective of ordinary people, this really resembled the Second Stage of the Ember King in the Fran Undead Team!

"What form is that?"

"How did he suddenly transform!"

"Could it be... the benefits after Fire Transmission!?"

"Aren’t we focusing on the wrong question now?"

The crowd witnessing these unexpected occurrences was destined to take a long time to piece things together. Leon threw out a flurry of explosive news without giving anyone time to react.

As a result, people were thinking about event A one second and forced to imagine event B the next. By the time they regained their senses, their internal anxiety and unease couldn’t keep up with the speed of their changing thoughts.

The adventurers gathered experienced a visible improvement in their mental states; it was like a wicked method of counseling.

"Believe in me, everyone. In a few days, I’ll present everything I’ve seen in the dungeon to you. When that time comes, you’ll realize the future is still full of hope!"

Leon swung his sword towards the sky, and suddenly cool flames shot upwards, exploding into fireworks, the firelight reflecting in everyone’s eyes.

For some reason, Leon’s words and actions had a unique charm for them. Watching the fiery sky, a sense of abundant hope genuinely rose in their hearts.

The psychological shadow left by the darkness following the extinguished fire slowly began to fade.

Just then, a voice suddenly called out from the crowd:

"Leon, is Gwyn strong or not!"

"Super strong. I’ll never forget him," Leon immediately replied.

"Did he say anything when fighting with you?"

"Unfortunately, I didn’t hear anything."

"What’s it like to transmit fire?"

"Well, I think you should personally experience it; it’s really wonderful."

"I want to know..."

"That... "

Suddenly, a wave of questions surged among the crowd.

People eagerly asked about things they wanted to know, and Leon earnestly answered whatever he could, making the scene resemble a variety show recording, filled with lively atmosphere.

The lively atmosphere instantly spread across the venue, like flames touching abundant firewood, rapidly expanding. By the time Leon noticed, nobody was still immersed in the psychological shadows of the extinguished fire.

Nice, it succeeded.

He turned his hand behind him and gave a thumbs up to Luluwo backstage, then continued to play the role of a helpful big brother, answering everyone’s queries.

"It’s done, the show’s over."

Backstage, Luluwo clapped her hands towards the temporarily formed "emotional manipulation magic release team," and everyone revealed a look of "finally off work."

Lectures like these must rely on emotional magic to control the emotions of the audience, just like how the control room at a concert controls the color of everyone’s glow sticks.

However, this magic isn’t entirely omnipotent. Its effectiveness was largely due to Leon.

Not long after, inside the royal palace, in a sitting room for receiving guests.

"Lord King’s hospitality is indeed too enthusiastic."

Leon leaned back on the sofa, sinking into it, the softness making him lament:

"Finally feels real, this is what people should lie on, not the cold hard ground."

After the successful speech calming everyone down, Leon was received by King Ainz III, who praised him extensively and asked many questions about the Sain Dungeon. Finding the conversation insufficient, he held a banquet to continue the discussion.

Unintentionally, it dragged on until late night, and Leon was invited to stay overnight.

"Boss, if you came out, you should have told us earlier; we were quite worried." Maru, who appeared beside him, complained.

"He just woke up and was pulled for the speech, give Leon some leeway; he’s had it tough," Drew said leisurely.

"You only know to take the boss’s side!" Maru retorted in dissatisfaction, while Tal chuckled beside them.

"You guys sure have a good relationship."

The guest room door opened, and Luluwo entered with Tami and the others. "Long time no see; you’ve made quite a big event during this time."

"Thanks for your technical support earlier." Leon waved, and Tami and the others greeted Maru and the rest, seeming familiar.

Lately, more and more strategy groups are selling guides; the Skyrim Strategy Group is considering pivoting to new avenues, hence trying out lecture activities for adventurers, talking about all sorts of things. They claim to help adventurers improve their overall skills, but it’s like storytelling, delivering punchlines.
