Chapter 1834 - 1075: Sain Betrayed My Feelings

Leon and Gapar immediately headed to the Fire Shrine after leaving Ring Seal City.

On the monument inside the Fire Shrine are inscribed the names of the Firekeepers, with the lone name at the top originally being Leon Basque.

Now, the names have extended downward for several lines into double digits, mostly familiar faces.

Leon searched his mind for information about the remaining unfamiliar names, but before he could finish thinking, Gapar waved his hand and said:

"These people are my acquaintances; they can’t be from the Demon Clan."

"Is there any chance of impersonation?" Leon asked.

"Impossible."

Gapar reached out and touched one of the names on the monument, and surprisingly, the faces of the named individuals appeared beside their names.

"See, it’s really them."

"It can do that?" Leon’s eyes widened.

Seeing his own name up there had been pleasing enough, but the addition of a portrait suddenly made it somewhat comical...

He had been admiring his name on the monument for so many days without discovering this one-click portrait query function.

Why did he feel like he was lagging far behind his teacher in every aspect, even in the art of enjoyment?

"Since that Demon woman’s name isn’t on the monument, it means she’s never completed the Fire Transmission... Is there another way into Ring Seal City?"

Leon had a strange expression, and it was time to let his imagination run wild.

To enter Ring Seal City, one had to go through the gathering place, and the way he got there was by jumping off the bridge guarded by Dragon Hunter Armor.

Could it be that, not only by jumping off that bridge, but also by jumping from other bridges, one could reach the gathering place?

This idea was a bit far-fetched, but in the Sain Dungeon, it might just be possible.

After considering this possibility, the two left the Sain Dungeon.

Before leaving, they also checked the monument recording the Fire Extinguishers, which had far fewer names and no unfamiliar ones.

After this, Leon and Gapar respectively sought out Kings Ainz III and Banto.

The two Kings prioritized the matters concerning the Sain Dungeon, meeting with them quickly and soon issuing orders:

Strengthen the identity verification of those entering the Sain Dungeon Teleportation Gate!

Not only identify those entering the Teleportation Gate, but also extend checks to surrounding towns. Even before such orders reached the ears of town residents, large military forces had surrounded these places.

No one could escape being checked!

Meanwhile, as the two Kings implemented identity checks, Leon used his connections in various strategy groups to publish a strategy guide he had rushed out in a few days.

The content naturally revolved around the gathering place and Ring Seal City.

The hype surrounding Ashen Lake and Ulashiro had just started to cool down, but the gathering place and Ring Seal City picked it right back up.

"Jumping off the bridge to enter a new map called the gathering place? Is this method reliable?"

"There’s a probability you can reach it, so does that mean you could also fall to your death? Does Leon really think we’re drunk?"

"The strategy guide suggests that the best chance is to jump from Losric City’s bridge, but if you’re not qualified to enter Losric City, you can try other bridges."

"Why, are the probabilities lower with other bridges?"

"No, it’s not the probability that’s lower; it’s just that it hasn’t been verified at all... It’s just a guess..."

"..."

In the classic adventurers’ gathering spot—the tavern—Leon’s latest strategy guide was the hot topic of discussion.

Drunken adventurers red-facedly criticized every word written in the guide, claiming who would believe such nonsense.

But mark my words, once sober, these guys would be sprinting into the Dungeon to test out the guide’s suggestions.

They will for sure; that’s just the way they are.

This was Leon’s aim, to initiate a human wave tactic!

The bridges in the Sain Dungeon were too numerous. If only Le and Gapar tried, they wouldn’t be living normally for months, merely jumping off bridges.

Only by dangling the gathering place and Ring Seal City in front of adventurers and enticing them into being part of the human wave strategy could he verify his hypothesis.

Both the population surveys launched by Yanor Kingdom and Warrior Country and Leon’s human wave tactic yielded results after a few days.

The population surveys indeed bore fruit.

A total of seven Demon Clan spies hidden around the Sain Dungeon Teleportation Gate were rooted out. The Kingdom’s military was amazed by the strong disguise ability of Demons, which spurred them to intensify inspections, unsure if more would surface.

Those responsible for the inspections were very cautious, not out of fear that the Demon Clan spies would turn desperate and retaliate.
