"Investigate what?"
Gong Qiying heard this and his expression remained unchanged, he simply asked;
"Why would you think that?"
Fla Fire showed no particular emotional change either, and spoke as if the inquiry just now was a straightforward matter;
"There's plenty worth ntioning, like why Red Teeth went through all the trouble to pull you over here. But the most crucial thing is... "
He paused, speaking with a tone that sounded like a complaint;
"I'm a mber of the Asta Alliance. Lately, people in the alliance have been acting weirdly, not telling what's going on. How could I not notice sothing strange?"
"You're with the Asta Alliance?" Gong Qiying was indeed taken aback by this.
The Asta Alliance was originally that extremist human supremacy city lord coalition. Initially, they seed sowhat extre, but upon learning about the actions of the Demon Clan, it seed like perhaps they weren't extre enough.
"You might not rember, but I had written to you under the na of the Asta Alliance."
"Well... I don't rember that."
Letters from that organization were uniformly signed under the organization's na, who knows who actually wrote them.
Now things were becoming interesting; being honest with Fla Fire seed unlikely, but lying would probably get imdiately exposed.
Might as well directly tell him it can't be discussed, he'll make up a plausible reason himself.
Since he's with the Asta Alliance, suspicions might lessen sowhat.
Gong Qiying was about to speak, but Fla Fire spoke first;
"Not convenient to share, huh? I get it. Don't tell what it is. Red Teeth and the alliance must have their reasons for not telling , I just wanted to confirm with you."
He turned back into his human shape, speaking as if liberated;
"Since you're here, it shows you're more suited for these matters than I am. Though it's a bit frustrating, I'm still willing to help. Feel free to ask anything you don't understand, I'm happy to answer."
Gong Qiying simply nodded.
Surely these city lords can't be underestimated in their observational skills, each has managed a Dungeon for so long, their ability to notice important matters is undeniably strong.
"I've handled investigation tasks before too, here are so tips."
Fla Fire spoke seriously and earnestly;
"If you wish to investigate a sealed item, spend plenty of ti engaging with it, gradually understanding its attributes."
"If you wish to investigate the world above ground, pay close attention to every adventurer's words. To people, a Dungeon is the safest and most secretive place, where various secrets congregate daily, anything might be heard here."
"If you wish to investigate a Dungeon..."
His words paused, and in this instant of pause, Gong Qiying indeed found himself intrigued.
"Then observe its operational situation."
"..."
Gong Qiying pondered this for a few seconds then gradually nodded, giving Fla Fire a thumbs-up.
He understood the deeper aning behind Fla Fire's words.
This was probably the biggest takeaway of the day.
"Alright, let's continue talking about Dungeons, anything else you're curious about? I won't withhold anything I know."
Fla Fire returned to his forr expression as Gong Qiying quickly got back into the conversation, continuing to discuss matters of various Dungeons as if the previous dialogue had never existed.
Ti unknowingly passed as the Image Stone was filled up completely, and the second one was nearly full from recording before the conversation ended.
Knowledge swam in his brain.
"That's it, that's all I know left."
Fla Fire, immune to thirst, now felt weary, talking nonstop for such a length of ti would wear out anyone.
"I'm heading back to rest, you can view the recorded footage..."
His tone was akin to a bonfire about to extinguish.
"Thank you for your effort." Gong Qiying waved him goodbye.
"Oh, one last thing, if you want Sain Dungeon to quickly gain a foothold in Scaroon, then bring out all those renowned old territories at once."
Fla Fire's figure gradually disappeared, looking like it was about to leave, and finally said;
"Because information spreads with delay. Those new territories you've opened in the Warrior Country aren't famous here in Scaroon. Bring your old territories over, like the paradise filled with delicacies and pets, the academy pursuing abundant magic, the Fran Fort brimming with Abyss..."
"Alright, understood, thank you for the reminder."
[Blast Fla Dungeon has separated, the Dungeon battle ended]
With the prompt from the Dungeon, the brief and efficient Dungeon battle ended, faster and with a surprising efficiency.
Sain Dungeon reopened the Teleportation Gate welcoming adventurers the next second, with closure seemingly less than half a day.
This unusual phenonon could keep those imaginative adventurers pondering for half a day.
Gong Qiying relaxed his posture slightly, lying directly on the altar and gazing at the grayish ceiling.
"Operations can indeed be tackled from here, likely very effective."
"And moving over old territories... Indeed, those old places are well-known, it does make things easier for ."
Originally, he planned to introduce new territories to Scaroon.
But Fla Fire's reminder suddenly made him realize there's a more ti-saving and labor-saving approach, so why not make it simpler.
Though he won't abandon new territories, first lure Scaroon people with the old territories and then proceed.
This ti Sain Dungeon doesn't need to be the deus ex machina solving a crisis, Gong Qiying can relax a bit.
The advice Fla Fire gave him was all very practical.
Within Sain Dungeon's old territories are various vows, certainly aligning with Scaroon people's tastes, and the Abyss which outsiders perceive as an Evil God compared to other vows, perfect for a religious narrative structure beloved by devotees.
"Even while moving the old territories, crude transplantation is no good, must adapt to local modifications."
Saying this, Gong Qiying sat back up, opening up the Dungeon's design modules.
"Other city lords might think Fla Fire and I haven't started yet, there'll be so free ti in the future, just right for handling such work."
Todays, Sain Dungeon's Lord is keeping busy.

"Isn't this pit... a bit too deep?"
Gapar looked at the fathomless pit before him, where a fall might turn one to dust, his well-aged but still charming face wrinkled.
He, with all his heart, resisted the presence of this massive pit before him.
This huge pit struck out by the reactivated stars falling on the ground.
At this mont, the region he found himself in was within Sain Dungeon.
More precisely, in the Nimgefo Region of Sain Dungeon, having traversed through a forest full of fog and mad bears, reaching a castle built on the border.
And this big pit was right in front of the castle, glaring conspicuously.
The surroundings of the pit were filled with remnants of Gravity Magic, so rubble suspended in purple light, giving it a mysterious look. Those familiar with the Shattered Star General's Gravity Magic at the Battle Festival might call it nightmarish.
Although battling at the festival was thrilling, the process was truly wearying, with the swishing purple Gravity Magic smashing down, causing mass fatalities.
But Gapar's aversion to the pit wasn't due to psychological trauma from the Battle Festival, the reason was sothing else—
"If soone falls from this pit, won't they drop into that forest full of Old Mad Fire n?"
Indeed, he worried about the pit leading to the Valley Bottom Forest down below.
Mad Fire left a psychological shadow in his mind!
"Teacher, what are you looking at? Aren't we supposed to go down?"
A youthful and lively voice ca from the side, followed by the appearance of the golden-haired Leon in front of Gapar.
Alongside Leon were Maru and others, presently a combination of the Strategy Group and Gapar and his apprentice team.
And the gigantic pit they tead up to explore, officially nad within Sain Dungeon—
[Land of Falling Stars]
"... Then, let's go down."
Gapar clenched his teeth and leapt toward the deep pit!
