I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Inside the royal palace.

Tester, Selena, and Lemens looked at Anno with tense expressions.

Anno, sitting by the bed, took a deep breath, placed two azure fruits in a bowl, and then mashed them.

These two fruits are the boundary fruits, only the size of quail eggs.

The juicy flesh inside was mashed into a blue juice in no time.

Then, with Troy's help, Anno fed the king the juice of the Barrier Fruit.

At this moment, the king's face had lost all color.

If not treated promptly, it could be over in just a few hours!

Everyone had already given up.

Anno had no other options.

Unexpectedly, Xue Feibai and the others who returned from the Elf Forest had some Barrier Fruits in their hands.

Less than ten minutes after drinking the juice of the barrier fruit, the king's complexion improved slightly.

From Anno's perspective, the [Void] erosion state was lifted shortly after drinking the juice.

However, the king has been tortured for two days and will certainly need some time to recover.

"It works!"

After observing for a while, Troy said to everyone with a delighted expression, "The light magic I just released worked on His Majesty; His Majesty's abnormal condition has been eliminated."

Upon hearing this, Tester turned to look at Anno.

Anno nodded and said, "However, His Majesty will need some time to recover. It's best not to let anyone disturb His Majesty in the near future."

Once Anuo said that, everyone present understood what he meant.

Simmons is currently waiting to inherit the throne, and who knows what he might do if he finds out that the king has been rescued.

Tester has always suspected that Simmons was responsible for the king's coma.

"Don't tell anyone else about Father's matter for now!"

Tester looked at Lymens.

The latter remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

Anno and Troy then left the room and stood guard at the door.

"Anno, you guys have really done a great job this time!"

After Troy left, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "But didn't the Elf Queen say that only Atreica Emily had this? Where did Liu Rongrong get the barrier fruit?"

"That place was also a dangerous place. They were able to come back alive thanks to the intelligence left by their predecessors."

If we have time, we'll probably go to the Fairy Forest again.

However, there's something I'd like to discuss with you, rather than that.

Anno then told Troy about the underground city beneath Sunset City.

"Wow, there really is an underground city!"

After hearing Anno's account, Troy's eyes widened.

At the time, he genuinely believed that Gilbert had made it all up.

"The demons and sea creatures that appeared in Sunset City are all eyeing that underground city."

I have only explored the first three levels so far, but the guardians on the third level are already at the seventh level.

It is estimated that there will be even stronger beings on the fourth and fifth floors.

So I'd like to invite a few companions to explore the dungeon together.

Anor paused for a moment, then continued, "According to my intelligence, the depths of the dungeon may hold the seal of the Deep Sea Demoness!"

"Deep Sea Demoness!"

Troy glanced back at the door behind him, then pulled Anno aside, frowning as he asked, "Anno, how reliable is the information?"

Based on what happened in the Dwarf Kingdom, Troy believed that the sealed Deep Sea Fairy was most likely a god-like being.

If the intelligence is accurate, then the kingdom's high-ranking officials need to set aside their factional differences and work together to deal with the current crisis.

Anno lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

It's also a good thing that we had the higher-ups from Simmons' side go to the dungeon to "work" for Anno.

After all, even the aristocratic faction has eighth-tier professionals.

But there is another possibility within the underground city.

That is, the "Demon Eye" that controls life and death exists.

If high-ranking members of the aristocratic faction were to be called upon, and if the [Demon Eye] were to actually exist, the two sides would inevitably engage in a fierce battle over it.

Of course, there is another possibility.

That means the sixth floor has neither a seal nor a [Demon Eye], only a group of guardians.

Moreover, the guards on the fifth and sixth floors are likely to be ninth-rank.

Whether they dare to enter the sixth floor is another matter.

After thinking for a while, Anno said, "Given the current situation, I think we can go in and explore on our own."

We have absolutely no information below the third level; let's gather some intelligence first.

Seeing that Troy was still hesitating, Anno continued to persuade him: "I killed a seventh-tier sea creature in Sunset City, they certainly won't let this go."

I estimate that it won't be long before the sea creatures make a move.

"Besides dealing with Gilbert's affairs, I came back this time primarily to discuss this matter with you."

"But Warrengel needs me to go and relieve him."

Troy sighed and said, "The Lich King's undead army is still on the other side of the Gazelle River. Before, it was the eighth-tier archmage Pris who was in charge, and now it's my turn."

Pris is an eighth-tier professional who supports Simmons.

Seeing Anno's disappointed expression, Troy continued, "However, you can take a few other guys with you."

If there are many high-level beings in the dungeon, they can also take the opportunity to try to break through their bottlenecks.

Troy refers to Xue Feibai and his friends' mentor.

We're all on the same side, so we can trust each other completely.

However, they were all at the seventh level.

It's a real loss that Troy, an eighth-rank priest, didn't come.

But Anno had no other choice.

"After you go back, tell Liu Rongrong and Ning Wen to come see me if they have nothing else to do."

Once the King's condition improves, I should be heading to Warrengard.

Before leaving, I still wanted to see those two girls one last time.

"Them," Anno said to Troy, thinking about their current levels, "you'd be shocked if you saw them!"

"Oh? What happened to them?" Troy raised an eyebrow curiously.

"I'll keep you in suspense for now; you'll find out when Lord Troy meets the two of them."

"Really? Then I'll look forward to seeing what surprises my students have in store for me!"

While the two were chatting, a soldier rushed in from outside.

Under the watchful eyes of Anno and Troy, the soldiers knelt before the king's bedchamber and shouted inside, "Your Highness, urgent news has arrived from Val'kam in the south! The sea creatures have landed from the Aier Mountains and are showing signs of attacking Val'kam!"

Upon hearing this news, Anno and Troy exchanged a glance and exclaimed in unison, "The sea creatures have made a move!"
