Chapter 497 Dungeon Cave Opening Ceremony (1/2)
”So, we htly in return Hundreds of eager adventurers were awaiting the opening of the Dungeon Cave Each one equally afraid to enter too late, fearing that others iven their vast nuh the town criers and even the Kings had assured them repeatedly that the half masked humanoids proardless of their adventurers, it was hard to believe
Jin had initially proposed the first party to be led by the respective Kings, but ainst such an endeavour What n of cooperation would definitely threaten theat the side of the Goblins
Both sides agreed that assassins and spies from other countries would be within the adventurer cae such an act should the kings enter the dungeon cave Thus, the kings had decided to heed their council's advice and solely be present for the opening of this Dungeon Cave
”No fun” Kraft had already been looking forward to collecting sost any wannabe assassins, but Jin consoled hi him about his new responsibilities He his preferred the event to proceed with success rather than risk any interruptions
Before the opening of the Dungeon Cave, both of the Kings were given a chance to address the audience Groups of adventurers were already speculating which king would be the first to give their speech as it was basically an extension of power e for all how the power balance really was
However, all this speculation was for nought as Jin, who had been on site as soon as the System infor with 'the will of the Gods'
A si would speak first Everyone in the vicinity disagreed with the way it was handled but also accepted that it was a rather 'fair' idea to get things done without any political implications
The coin tossed by Jin as a (relatively) neutral party landed with on tails, which represented the Orc King's choice, and so Frost Echo went up the teave his speech to both Orcs and Goblins and the visiting Humans It was rather short rhetoric but filled with emotions that he hoped that the Orcs could learn to cooperate alongside the goblins He ended by using himself as an example with his life entrusted to a Goblin, their current Spymaster
Most of the Orcs may have been sceptical by this in the past, but the Goblins had already proven their superiority by winning the war (And Orcs who always loved a good fight will respect the chaive it a try, seeing how the Dungeon Cave somehow required a variety of races to enter
The subsequent speech by the Goblin King was more factual and re their backs would be their fellow comrades ”It's like a trial of fire, to see if the bonds of Orcs, Goblins and ed and te a Sol admitted that it would not be an easy task but used the examples of the Orc and Goblin ardless of race so they could do one job To service the adventurers through the cave and grow rich with thely well received, especially that last particular line made both races simultaneously cheer because that hat they all wanted to accomplish
At the end of these two short speeches, Jin caht in front of theht in front of it shone brightly and spoke in a strange sounding voice (Chinese) since it was governed by the Systedo the System control of the place)
”Worthy Adventurers! HeedThis cave is filled with treacherous traps and monsters! Offer a tribute if you wish to enter this perilous place, and you will be protected byadventurers
”From our personal experience, the tribute required consists of at least two copper coins for each adventurer before the Dungeon Cave will allow anyone entry Upon noting that the adventurers have placed their tribute, the Panda Statue will glow slightly to see whether the tribute was genuine” Jin explained briefly how they had set it up to work
”Any outsiders who atte any tribute will be attacked by heavenly fla tothemselves
”Do not worry, the Panda Statue and the Dungeon Cave are in a way sentient like how certain es can speak to aniuys won't have to risk your lives unless stated clearly”
”Venerated Masked One, I have heard, that one does not die inside the cave, is that not true? Are there parts of the cave where death is unavoidable?” One of the Orcs asked, and Jin nodded his head
”Our race has studied this sort of Dungeon Cave back in our hoed to place a spell for the first ten floors ensuring that none of youas you do not venture further down” The half masked panda cultivator assured thebelow the tenth floor because our ic seems unable to reach deeper Perhaps in the future, e find a way to purify a particular floor of the Dungeon Cave without too many expenses, ill do so Some of the materials you may find could prove quite helpful for our research” Jin created an ieon participants unkillable for every part of this new Dungeon experience, he figured that this could potentially create an irow to the point where they could band together sparking wars
