A man mistakenly becomes the city lord of the land, conquering all the heavens and myriad worlds.

Its area is definitely not as large as that of the dungeon.

After all, in terms of area alone, the size of the underground city could probably cover the entire surface of this world!

Those hiding outside have no intention of showing their faces.

shit!

This was Fels' first idea.

However, as a sage who had experienced countless battles, he did not panic. Instead, he chose to move to higher ground and planned to leave the scene.

As soon as he turned around, Fels saw the light.

It is neither of the sun nor of the moon, but of fire.

Light shines in the darkness!

boom! ! ! !

The terrifying flames lit up the night sky above the Adventurers' Guild, and the intense heat, like a roaring beast, engulfed Fels!

In an instant, Fels' robes were set ablaze, and he fell to the earth like a shooting star.

The raging heat was like an unstoppable tide, and Fels had no way to resist it!

In Orario, Fels possesses the strength of a Level 4 Adventurer.

Although there are still LV.5 and LV.6 above, reaching LV.4 already makes one an elite among elites.

Because in Orario, half of the adventurers are at level 1.

Adventurers at level 1 and above are called advanced adventurers, and there is a huge gap between them and level 1 adventurers. They must have sufficient qualifications to cross over.

Even with his level, experience, and skills, he was completely caught off guard.

The magical aura expanded instantly, as if without any incantation, detecting, locking onto, and attacking.

Like a tattered rag, the burning Fels crashed to the ground, his whole body aching and almost unable to move.

But he knew that this was most likely because the other party had held back...

"What happened?! The guild exploded?!"

"There's just too much going on today!"

"Put out the fire first! This thing is on fire!"

"You're employees of the Adventurers' Guild, right? He seems to have flown out from the second floor."

Outside the guild headquarters, adventurers along the roadside noticed the strange situation and gathered together.

Looking at the street where the commotion had occurred, Chen Hai returned to his previous location and smiled at Royman.

"This is a real show of force. Also, I held back earlier, so you'd better send someone over to check the situation quickly."

"Ah this..."

Royman didn't know what to say, he just stared blankly at the lounge walls that had been shattered and destroyed by the flames.

It was a large hole about three meters long and wide, with molten lava still flowing at its edges...

Bang dong!

The door was pushed open, and several employees rushed in in a panic.

Before they could speak, Royman waved his hand.

"Send someone to treat Fels, and don't bother us afterwards."

The employees looked at each other, replied "I'll get on it right away," and immediately closed the door.

Seeing this, Hestia couldn't help but complain.

"Closing the door doesn't seem to be working anymore."

"Did you take down the Adventurers' Guild's 'Ghost' in one hit?"

Loki clapped his hands

"As expected of the Lord of the Underground City."

"I just don't like guys who beat around the bush, and I believe Mr. Reuman feels the same way, doesn't he?"

After giving Loki a perfunctory answer, Chen Hai looked at Royman.

The person in charge nodded while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Your Excellency is right."

Using honorifics, Royman knew very well that the 'Dungeon Lord' before him was exceptionally powerful.

Chapter Ten: What's going on? The Great God Uranus isn't convinced?

What is an adventurer?

They are people who have received divine favor and engage in dungeon exploration. They are ranked, and the higher the rank, the stronger they are.

Lv.1 is the most basic level. Adventurers at this level are called lower-level adventurers, and half of the adventurers in Orario are at this level.

Level 1 and above are called advanced adventurers, and there is a huge gap between them and level 1 adventurers. They must have sufficient qualifications to cross over.

其中上级冒险者又细分为第三级冒险者（Lv.2）、第二级冒险者（Lv.3～4）及第一级冒险者（Lv.5及LV.5以上）。

Generally speaking, LV.4 adventurers are the main members of many clans, and some are even capable of serving as guild leaders.

As one of Orario's strongest familias, most of Loki's main adventurers are at level 4 or higher.

Now that she saw Chen Hai instantly kill the 'Ghost', she couldn't help but wonder about the true strength of this city lord.

Managing the dungeon, you'd probably be at least LV8, right?

No, it's definitely better than LV.8 and stronger than LV.9.

It should be noted that the Empress, who died in the failed expedition against the 'Black Dragon' fifteen years ago, possessed the strength of LV.9.

The fact that the black dragon was born from the underground city means it is Chen Hai's subordinate...

Loki swallowed hard.

She gave a wry smile and started to speak.

"Brother Chenhai... as the 'Lord of the Underground City,' are the monsters that leave the underground city also under your control?"

"As long as it comes from the underground city."

"Then... the Black Dragon too?"

"Let it come back and play sometime."

"..."

Loki didn't know how to answer.

Royman kept wiping the sweat from his brow.

Hestia, who had stopped eating, now knew why Loki had mentioned the 'black dragon'.

After all, the legend of the black dragon is already well known in Orario.

Now that Chen Hai has appeared as the 'Lord of the Underground City,' it means that he is also the ruler of the Black Dragon.

He is the master of the most powerful monster that once destroyed humanity...

Hestia couldn't resist taking a sip of tea.

"So, um, what I mean is... as long as we cooperate with Chen Hai-jun, everything can proceed as normal?"

"Of course, the only thing that needs to be changed is the way and time adventurers explore dungeons."

As the topic returned to the right track, Chen Hai also became serious.

He added three points

"I will not let monsters kill adventurers, nor will I let them kill adventurers."

"The floor and time spent exploring the dungeon are fixed each time."

“There will definitely be supporters and opponents at that time. If they don’t intend to accept it, I will give them the opportunity to leave.”

After hearing this, Loki became even more interested.

Because Chen Hai, this 'Lord of the Underground City,' is not some kind of being who harbors resentment towards the main god and has lost his mind.

Rather, he is a boss who is interested in cooperation.

"I believe more adventurers will accept it."

Loki had her reasons for saying that.

"Exploring dungeons poses no risk to life and offers the opportunity to find treasure and gradually improve one's strength. I believe no one would refuse. At that point, the 'dungeon' will be less a place of adventure and more a training ground for improving strength and discovering treasures."

That's not necessarily a bad thing.

Regarding this, Chen Hai asked the three people in front of him.

What is the reason why adventurers work so hard?

Upon hearing this, Noumann was the first to respond.

"Benefit."

In his eyes, adventurers were just this kind of people.

Exploring dungeons is high-risk, high-reward, and with the protection of the clan's main god, one can continuously grow stronger.

Hestia shook her head.

"I don't know, but I think it would be fun to work hard with my teammates."

As for Loki...

She leaned back in her chair.

“Every adventurer has a different goal. For example, the ‘Black Dragon’ I just mentioned. Do you know about it, Brother Chenhai? Among my clan, there are genius adventurers who are constantly striving to become stronger with the goal of defeating the Black Dragon.”

Chen Hai certainly knew.

That person is Ais Wallenstein, the swordswoman from DanMachi.

"Regarding this, I can give her a chance for revenge; when the time comes, I will call the Black Dragon over, and if anyone can defeat the Black Dragon, I will not interfere."

"No, no, no."

Loki immediately rejected the proposal.

Once the Black Dragon, who slayed the LV.9 adventurer, returns to Orario, who will dare to roam here then?

dong dong dong.

At that moment, a knock sounded on the door.

"Who is it?"

Hestia looked toward the gate.

Click.

With the sound of the door unlocking, Fels, whose black robe was more than half burned, appeared in everyone's sight, supported by several employees.

The 'sage' did not speak, but simply raised the envelope in his right hand to Chen Hai.

"Please...go to...the main deity of the Adventurers' Guild..."

"Uranus?"

Loki was the first to react.

Hestia, her brows slightly furrowed, muttered to herself.

"It's been a long time since I've seen that old man."

"Just as I imagined, then let's go meet him."

Chen Hai stood up and took the envelope.

Inside was a card that marked the location and also emitted a magical aura.
