I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 491, page 2.1-20: The Crown: The Treasure of a Lost Dynasty
A loud 'bang' echoed from afar, sounding like an explosion, reverberating throughout the entire capital city.

Bertias slightly raised her eyes to look at the tallest building in the distance outside the window, and vaguely saw some smoke and dust coming from it.

He blinked his blue-gray eyes in surprise and said, "Although I knew these two guys would fight, I didn't expect them to fight so hard. The noise they made is too loud. This isn't just disturbing the peace; it's more like panic..."

"Huh?" Dionysus, holding a wine glass, leaned on the table, his golden phoenix eyes filled with confusion, and a trace of wine still clung to the corner of his mouth.

Bertias glanced at Dionysus with the look of someone looking at a fool, and said indifferently, "This one is already drunk. I should say he's a fool who only knows wine, except that the one from ten thousand years ago is even more foolish."

“Only you could deceive a simple god.” Daolin sat up on the windowsill, looking helplessly at Bertias, and said softly.

"Would you like a drink?" Bertias asked, raising his glass.

Dao Lin waved his hand and refused, saying, "No, I get drunk as soon as I touch alcohol. You drink it yourself."

Bertias raised an eyebrow, downed his glass of ale in one gulp, and said regretfully, "That's a real shame."

His white, tousled hair fluttered slightly in the wind. Dao Lin turned his head and glanced at the turmoil unfolding in the distance at the royal palace. He frowned and asked, "So, what brings you here? It can't be just something as simple as gossiping and drinking with me, can it?"

Bertias slowly put down his wine glass, a hint of mockery in his blue-gray eyes. He said in a low voice, "Thanks to Mu Yegui's battle with the King, he was unable to continue his surveillance of us. Let's exchange information now. You should have obtained some rather interesting information as well."

This wasn't the first time he'd collaborated with Dao Lin, but Dao Lin was by far the most compatible collaborator he'd ever worked with. Whether it was his lack of underhanded tactics or his impeccable intelligence gathering abilities, not to mention Dao Lin's exceptional intelligence, making conversations with him always a pleasure.

Daolin nodded to Bertias, jumped out of the window, walked to the table, and sat down. "Yes, indeed. As usual, you ask a question, I ask a question, and we exchange answers. That way, no one will lose out."

"Judging from your expression, you don't seem too keen on starting, so let me first tell you about the information on this idiot god of wine next to me."

Bertias pointed to Dionysus, who was fast asleep, and said, "Dionysus, the god of wine, is the lazy high priest we will know ten thousand years from now, although right now he is just an idiot who only knows wine."

As far as I know, he hadn't encountered Laziness yet at this point, and was currently following Mu Yegui, so he could be considered a ally. He was skilled in magic, commonly creating illusions that induce sleep and summoning lightning. He carried a rapier hidden in his staff, and would choose close combat when necessary.

Daolin rested his chin on one hand, raised an eyebrow slightly, and glanced at Dionysus with surprise.

Looking at Daolin's expression, Bertias asked in confusion, "You didn't know? That's surprising."

“No, I was just thinking…” Dao Lin stroked his smooth chin, a gentle breeze ruffling the white wisps of hair on his forehead, revealing mysterious silver patterns, and whispered, “Just how stupid must he be for you to call him that…”

Bertias: "..." What should I do if I don't really want to answer?
A hint of a smile flashed in his icy blue eyes as Daolin chuckled, "Since this is a topic related to Dionysus, I must mention the destined being he will encounter in the future. He's been called the enigmatic Sloth until now; I don't know his real name, but I know what he looks like." "You don't know his name, but you know what he looks like? Your information is as interesting as ever. So, what does he look like?" Bertias glanced at Daolin with a knowing look and asked.

Dao Lin pointed a finger at his own face and chuckled, "This is what I look like."

“Could it be…” Bertias suddenly stood up, shocked.

"Although it's not what I want to choose, if you see a man who looks exactly like me, just a bit more mature and with long hair, it's best to stay away from him."

He possesses the ability to see the future; a single glance is enough for him to see you clearly. Even I can't figure out his current purpose, but at least he's not an enemy right now.

Although fighting laziness is the worst choice, one should always be prepared, even if he thinks no preparation is of any use, since the other party can see the future and knows all their actions.

"Perhaps Mu Yegui knows more about this topic. Sometimes I think Mu Yegui and Qi Zui seem to be closer. If she really becomes our enemy, there's no worse situation than that. I don't understand how we can have a chance of victory," Dao Lin said, frowning.

"Are you trying to make me wary of you and Mu Yegui? I've already done that, but Mu Yegui isn't someone I can successfully guard against. When someone's strength reaches a certain level, all I can do is admit defeat. My principle has always been to take advantage of the opportunity to cooperate while we can, otherwise we won't have another chance."

A hint of darkness crept into his blue-gray eyes. Even so, Mu Yegui was not someone he could use. She was probably already furious. He should consider how to let bygones be bygones regarding his scheme against her.

He knew that Mu Yegui would be meeting the king today, ostensibly to drink with Dionysus, but actually to exchange intelligence with Daolin. Because the king was constantly monitoring his words and actions, he couldn't do many things and could only hold out when the king was busy fighting with Mu Yegui.

He knew about the flood and deliberately made people a little late, so Lin Ya would definitely be sent out.

When only Mu Yegui and the King remain in the palace, a specific topic will inevitably arise, which will definitely trigger a battle.

Similarly, if Mu Yegui and Wang are evenly matched, the king will treat him differently, which will make it easier for him to do many things. If Mu Yegui fails, it won't be a big problem, because he will use the opportunity of the battle to exchange information with Dao Lin.

No matter what, he wouldn't fail; he just made good use of this brilliant opportunity.

"Regarding the teleportation array, my guess is that each teleportation array can only be used once, but there is no limit to the number of people. That means we only have three chances to leave. Subtracting the last chance to leave and the chance to attend the Crown Prince's meeting in between, we only have one chance left to do whatever we want."

Dao Lin chuckled and held up a finger towards Bertias, asking softly, "So, Bertias, do you have any particular thoughts on this?"
