In the past, any merchant involved with the military either had a strong fist or significant power; they needed to consider the safety of being attacked by enemy forces during transportation, the cost of travel, and a myriad of other miscellaneous issues. These troubles together directly eliminated most merchants. But now, Sain Dungeon is providing them with this unprecedented super benefit: the Teleportation Gate!

The first to rush to Hepa Town turned out to be traveling merchants, and only after them did various commerces send people over to explore. Suddenly, foreign products that were not dared to be imagined before bloomed everywhere, leaving the rebel army first stupefied and then almost delirious with joy.

Last week, they were still training personnel to cross the Gate to Yanor Kingdom for procurement. But now, caravans are steadily coming to them, even starting to pressure prices and compete among themselves actively.

Does the Holy Light Church have such a condition? Does the Dark Moon Church have such a condition? The Return to Forest Church doesn't have this condition either!

"I said believing in Sain has its benefits." Fingerley, busy handling caravan orders, said in passing.

"I knew my dad's commerce would come as well." Leon watched the caravan with the Golden Lion Commerce banner, his expression very complicated.

It wasn't because seeing his father's commerce made him feel conflicted; rather, seeing Tepi's commerce reminded him of his sister, Megan.

"What is she doing in the Holy Light Church now?"

Although very puzzled about how his sister managed to mix into the Holy Light Church and what she was doing, he couldn't just go over because of this. After beating up family members, he had become quite open-minded and maintained a very calm mentality.

Lulu Walker, unaware of what Leon was thinking, assumed he was watching the enthusiastic adventurers, so she asked, "What are you looking at? Are you in the business too?"

"Leading people to raid the Dungeon is too boring, I want to challenge new places." Leon replied.

"Is it the Demon Relics? Maru told me; by then, we must see who can clear it first."

"No, I changed my mind."

Leon smiled and said:

"After all, I don't really like hot places, so we decided to switch locations for raiding, just to look for areas with the fewest challengers."

"Where is that?"

Lulu Walker couldn't help but ask, she wouldn't change her target anymore and was also happy to share what she knew with Leon.

"Our Skyrim Strategy Group's next target is the Demon Relics, the rebel army is still stubbornly fighting at the Little Londo Ruins, and Fingerley and the others are advancing towards Yanor Londo here. If you want to pick a place no one's gone to, then it has to be..."

"Giant Tomb" x2

The two of them uttered this name together.

This was the official name of the underground cemetery next to the Fire Transmission Ceremony.

"I've decided on there."

Leon raised his eyebrows and showed a very enthusiastic expression.

"You say you don't know what it means either?"

Gong Qiying stared at someone in front of him, making the other person feel entirely uncomfortable.

"Your eyes are like you're interrogating a criminal... I said I don't know, and I really don't know. Is this how you ask questions?"

The Holy Light Underground City's Lord, the firm and loyal "follower" of the Holy Light God, took a step back and pursed his lips, somewhat dissatisfied with Gong Qiying's attitude.

"I just lent you a temporary spiritual power loan." Gong Qiying looked at the other with dead fish eyes.

"Oh generous patron."

The follower rubbed his brow through the hood covering his face and said sincerely:

"Honestly, I'm still a bit stunned by what you just said and haven't reacted."

He raised a hand, wanting to gesture as he spoke, but he couldn't think of what to do for a long time, so he simply continued:

"What do you mean a mysterious person broke into your Dungeon, exhibited what seemed like a cheating ability to slow time's flow, and even tried to unravel your Dungeon's seal, only to find an empty seal, and ultimately used up so much spiritual power that I envied you but then escaped?"

The follower said all this in one breath without stumbling.

"I now have a lot of questions for you, yet you're asking me about that mysterious person's identity...."

"After all, that guy's manifestation is light, and there are two distinctly different kinds of light, with colors that feel utterly different, sort of like a mental split," Gong Qiying said, "I asked elsewhere, but got no answers, now you're the only one I can think of."

"Hey, hey, hey, when it comes to light, shouldn't I be the first to come to mind? I'm the professional here."

This statement from the follower was naturally ignored by Gong Qiying.

He sighed; when Gong Qiying first approached, he thought it was no big deal, but each thing that came out of his mouth was more explosive than the last.

Sain Dungeon's seal is empty? Where did your sealed item run off to?

Who is that mysterious glowing person, why do they have such powerful abilities, and how are they so familiar with the Dungeon?

Why can Sain Dungeon still operate normally after that mysterious person absorbed so much spiritual power?

The follower let out another long sigh, finally realizing that the gap between Dungeon Lords was even larger than between man and dog.

"At first, did you think that mysterious person was related to me? If it really was, I wouldn't have held back."

"Unfortunately, I know nothing about that person made of yellow light, but if you want, I could tell you everything I know about the history of the Holy Light Church, perhaps it could give you some insight."

The follower patted his chest and said:

"I've lived for so many years, that even the Pope outside might call me their ancestor; I can recount the Holy Light Church's history within the last five hundred years."

"Why only within the last five hundred years?"

"Well, because going beyond that number feels unrealistic, usually when I deceive people, I exaggerate the number, it has to be at least five hundred years minimum."

Gong Qiying trusted the follower's senior status, so he inquired about the information he'd recently gathered.

"The Holy Light God was previously called the Light God, right? Why the change?"

"Our usual explanation is that our God embodies humility and doesn't agree with the matter of embracing all the world's light, hence humbly renaming to Holy Light God, equally bestowing the rest of the light to all beings."

"And what's the unofficial explanation?" Gong Qiying asked: "In general, for such matters, you'd expect some kind of hidden grand conspiracy."

"I don't know, the name change happened at least five hundred years ago." The follower immediately said.

After speaking, they both fell silent for a moment.

"Ahem, alright, so have you heard of the term 'Backlight', or any words that sound similar?"

Gong Qiying thought of this term, as the contour of the mouth of the white light changed to yellow, he made sure he didn't misinterpret it.

"Backlight... within the Church, this refers to the behavior of heretics desecrating the Holy Light, but this term is so outdated, nobody uses it anymore, it's been obsolete for at least five hundred years."

The follower thought for a moment, and couldn't help knitting his brows.

"As for similarly sounding words, I vaguely feel there might be some, give me a bit of time to think."

After speaking, he tilted his head as if crashing into a silent pause.

Gong Qiying saw no reaction from him, so he temporarily left him be and opened the City Lord Panel to browse.

Sain Dungeon is currently absorbing the impact from the mysterious person's yellow light, the first step was to bridge the spiritual power gap the person brought, which isn't difficult for Sain.

He opened the spiritual power interface and checked the growth of various areas.

Yanor Kingdom's region is booming.

Red's region is booming.

Warrior Country's region is booming.

Scameroon's region was also, of course, boom...

Gong Qiying suddenly nearly crushed the Crystal Ball in his hand.

Scameroon's spiritual power growth had plummeted!
