Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1291 - 818: Warm-Up Exercise

"Hey, hey, Big Brother Fingerley, tell us the story of the Sain Dungeon again."

"Alright, alright, today I'll tell you about my legendary battle with the Nameless King!"

"Wow! So excited!"

In Hepa Town, near the Sain Dungeon Teleportation Gate, a group of the rebel army gathered around Fingerley, sitting like kindergarten children listening to a story.

Fingerley enjoyed being the center of attention, a smile so wide that even two Smoughs couldn't wipe it off, and he put on a show of what it means to have the gift of gab right there among the crowd.

"Back then, we accidentally ascended the mysterious Ancient Dragon Peak, engaged in fierce battles with the powerful Ancient Flying Dragon, and rang the great bell to fight the Nameless King, who arrived riding a dragon, for seven days and nights amidst the storm..."

As he narrated, he made all kinds of sounds with his mouth to recreate the epic scenes of battle, and the audience cooperated by gasping in awe, so both the storyteller and the listeners were thoroughly entertained.

"Why don't you guys react like this when I tell stories..."

Hevi, with a look of envy and jealousy, gazed over there, thinking that Fingerley's spotlight should have been his.

"Because everyone is tired of your stories already," the Starfire Knight next to him retorted naturally, "Besides, he's a Gold-level Adventurer, the pinnacle of adventurers, everyone has been wanting to hear their adventure stories, it's just that now they have the time."

"Sigh, is the difference between people really this big?"

Hevi sighed, thinking that once the war ended, he would try to earn a Gold-level Adventurer title himself.

It's been two weeks since they drove away Anleisi and the others, and the situation in Hepa Town has stabilized, allowing the rebel army to resume their previous activities.

During this time, much has happened outside Hepa Town.

Of course, the center of all discussions revolves around the Holy Light Church.

After the fiasco at the Holy Light Festival was broadcasted live, news big and small everywhere spiced up the reports on it, some fanned the flames, some reveled in schadenfreude, some staunchly defended it, creating a vibrant scene of a hundred schools of thought contending.

But in the end, there were so many people enjoying the fiasco that the supporters reveling in the Holy Light Festival's misfortune far outnumbered the defenders, resulting in hellish jokes about it being posted in newspapers and becoming very popular daily.

It's said that the bishop in charge of the adjudication at the Holy Light Church was so angry at this trend that he claimed that a few hundred years ago, these heretics enjoying the misfortune would have all been hanged and burned to death.

As a result, once that statement got out, he became the subject of jokes for mockery.

The various news stories were merely a reflection of people's attitudes toward the Holy Light Church's huge embarrassment, but they also reflected a change in people's thinking.

Nowadays, many people no longer feel that religion or gods are worthy of respect, unless they can gain benefits like believing in Gwyn at the Starfire Church. Young people no longer buy into the old-school religions represented by the Holy Light Church that stress believers should devote themselves to the church.

If there are no benefits or no charm, who would believe in you!

If you want to attract young people, at least make your abstract divine statue look a bit more appealing!

The disaster that occurred at the Holy Light Festival should have elicited sympathy, but unfortunately, people's mindset nowadays is not as "simple" as it used to be, and even when they see disasters truly worthy of pity, there are people coming out to revel in misfortune, let alone something as lofty and unsavory to many as the Holy Light Church.

So hellish jokes about the Holy Light Church are flying everywhere.

Due to this, conflicts between Holy Light believers and others have occurred worldwide.

Afterward, the Holy Light Church promptly responded to the incident, blaming it on some unknown evil force's intrusion, elevating the massacre at the Holy Light Festival to a threat to the whole continent by an evil force, and stating that the Holy Light Church would do its utmost to combat the darkness and maintain peace on the continent.

A classic PR move, but classics work; at least it temporarily stabilized the chaotic public opinion.

It's just unfortunate they couldn't find out what faction the attackers belonged to, so there's no way to provide an explanation to everyone yet.

After that, the Church quickly held another Holy Light Festival, which went smoothly from start to finish without any incidents, barely covering up the previous failure.

Then the Church increased the promotion of Holy Light everywhere, as if they bought advertising flow, with publicity on Holy Light everywhere.

The outcome of this method is yet unknown, but it's certain that promoting Holy Light right now is not a good time.

Because the war in Scameroon with the Three Great Religions isn't looking optimistic.

The rebel army took advantage of the rare opportunity presented by the chaos at the Holy Light Festival to launch a large-scale offensive, achieving gratifying results on various fronts, breaking the previously stalemate situation at once, and the intensity of the front-line battles has reached a new level.

The Three Great Religions, caught off guard, lost a large territory, and only after coming to their senses did they manage to hold off the offensive, with the front line currently still embroiled in fierce battles.

All because of the Holy Light Festival, the stagnant dead water began to ripple again.
