Chapter 536 - 199 Kael, I'm Absolutely Certain You're Worth It (10K)_4
Throughout the city, Kael and Old White weren't questioned by the halflings again, and it's fair to say that the security check for entering the Dungeon for a tour was virtually non-existent.
Kael and Old White communicated with each other using telepathy in their minds.
Kael, "I didn't expect this group of people to be more lax in their defenses than I imagined; I overestimated them."
Old White gently shook his head, "This Dungeon doesn't hold much of significance, as all its resources and technologies have already fallen into the hands of Orean.
Its preservation thus far is solely because it serves a purpose for those petty-minded dwarves—to mock and provoke the higher-class goblins, nothing more.
They wouldn't lament its destruction.
After all... they thoroughly exploited the content related to the subjugation of goblins within the first ten years of claiming this Dungeon."
Kael nodded in understanding.
He realized why the members of the Strange Power Chaos God Guild managed to conquer this Dungeon so effortlessly.
It was simply because Orean didn't place much importance on this Dungeon!
With this realization, a grave expression crossed Kael's face.
Because just moments ago, he had successfully entered the Dungeon.
Feeling the strong limitations emanating from the Dungeon, Kael frowned, aware that these were level restrictions imposed by the Dungeon due to his position as a high-challenge rating professional entering a lower-challenge rating Dungeon.
Instantly, he felt significantly weakened.
However, it wouldn't affect him and Old White too much.
The Dungeon's level was so low that if Kael and Old White were slightly serious, they could easily conquer this Dungeon completely.
Sure enough, not long after Kael and his party discretely left the group, a prolonged notification tone echoed throughout the historical echo category of the Lower Realm's gate.
Kael knew it was the World Will announcing that the Dungeon had been cleared by others.
Accompanied by a rewarding glow of light, Kael felt his professional level experience bar hadn't budged, and the only Dungeon reward that took effect was a slight change in his skill level experience bar.
Compared to the rewards he received after conquering the Twisted Jungle, the reward from this Dungeon was meager, with the total skill experience bar levels increasing by merely about 5%.
It could be described as stingy.
This is probably why Dungeons are categorized into different challenge ratings—because high-level professionals entering low-level Dungeons can handle the challenges quickly but won't gain significant power boosts.
In such cases, deploying high-level professionals is a definite loss and doesn't fully exploit the benefits of the Dungeon.
But it doesn't matter.
This particular Dungeon was, after all, a Dungeon belonging to the Orean Independent Kingdom. To be able to freeload even a modest gain, and on top of that acquire key items, was a satisfactory outcome for the master and servant duo.
In the ensuing chaos at the scene, before a large group of halflings could secretly surround them, Kael and Old White made a swift escape, once again disguising their appearances in an unnoticed corner.
Having returned to their lodgings, Kael picked up the collectible that looked like a charging banner, a wistful smile on his face, and said:
"I didn't expect it would be so easy to get my hands on this item."
Old White also felt some emotion, "The nature of the halflings is not suited for guard duty; they're too lively and can hardly stay still in one place. Assigning them to guard duties easily leads to fatal flaws."
Of course, like in the recent Dungeon of the Day of Dawn, these halflings' defensive shortcomings were disastrously blatant.
Without mincing words, in the eyes of those like Kael with ulterior motives, it was practically as if there were no defenses at all, akin to the undefended goddesses on Little Blue Bird; they needn't have been as vigilant as if infiltrating an enemy camp.
Because those halflings in charge of supervision were truly slacking off, akin to authors who are ultimate slackers, paid to defecate and type in an office environment.
"Anyway, the item is now in our hands no matter what, Grandpa White, let's not linger. After procuring a batch of goods, we'll make a quick departure!"
Old White nodded his head.
Meanwhile, Kael turned his gaze to the Unyielding Banner in his hand. At the top of the banner were drawn symbolic items related to the Mechanical Mage, such as a sketch of the "Spirit Diversion Mechanical Hand" specially designed for faster and better assembly of related equipment for Mechanical Mages.
With high emotional intelligence: The Unyielding Banner's design is clean and simple!
With low emotional intelligence: Why does this Unyielding Banner look so ugly?
But it's understandable, who knows whether those goblins just happened to pick up a sturdy and durable banner on impulse and started on a path of self-improvement.
At the end of the day, the item was just a perishable mundane object.
…
When Kael and his companion set foot on the Duchy of Ryan's land once again, they discreetly arrived at a location and changed their attire.
What do you think?
