With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods-Chapter 162 God Of Magic (1)
Since it had been decided by the sloppily dressed man, no one dared to refute him.
True Dragon Lord Astaroth shot one last angry look at dungeon core 627 before heading back to his own faction.
Dungeon core 627's heart shattered when she saw this, but she couldn't get angry with Lin Fan since she knew that he had bested her properly. It wasn't as if he had used any tricks, he had just used what he was given and made the best plan he could to defeat her.
It was her own fault for panicking too much and trying too hard to impress True Dragon Lord Astaroth. If she had listened to her advisors, then none of this would have happened and she wouldn't have fallen for Lin Fan's plot.
As she stood there with a sad look on her face, to her surprise, Haku came over and pulled her in for a hug.
She whispered a few words to dungeon core 627 before having one of the dungeon cores from her faction take her away. However, dungeon core 627 didn't look unwilling at all. Rather, she was talking quite a bit with the dungeon core Haku arranged to lead her away, as if they were becoming close friends. f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦
Haku herself walked over to where Lin Fan was and gave him a thumbs up before coming to Rokuko's side.
Lin Fan couldn't help feeling that something was off about the way Haku acted around Rokuko…It even felt like she was looking at her in a strange manner.
As True Dragon Lord Astaroth walked away, it was as if he suddenly remembered something and he turned around. He spread his hands and said, "Fellow dungeon cores, thank you all for coming to this conference."
Everyone knew that this dungeon conference was over and that they were free to leave at their own convenience. However, True Dragon Lord Astaroth didn't give up trying to gain as many benefits as possible.
Since he had been allowed to host the mock dungeon war between dungeon core 627 and Rokuko and Lin Fan, he was given the right to take the lead at this dungeon conference. He was trying to use this opportunity to raise his own position by using this right to end the conference.
Like this, it was almost as if he had a higher position in their father's heart and would have more influence than the rest of them.
But they couldn't go against their father's orders in the first place. So even if they were displeased by what True Dragon Lord Astaroth was doing, they couldn't say a thing as long as father didn't say a thing…
True Dragon Lord Astaroth naturally also knew this, so he said, "It's been an interesting conference with many twists and turns, but everything comes to an…"
"Astaroth."
There was a clear voice that suddenly cut True Dragon Lord Astaroth off, but he didn't dare show any anger at all. Instead, there was a look of fear that suddenly appeared on his face as he slowly turned to the source of this voice.
The sloppily dressed man was no longer leaning back in his chair, but rather sitting up and staring right at him.
True Dragon Lord Astaroth immediately fell onto one knee and said, "Father, if you have any orders, please…"
"Shut up."
There was only silence that followed after these two words were said. Everyone immediately lowered their heads as looks of shock appeared on their faces.
True Dragon Lord Astaroth was the most shocked of them all, but that wasn't the strongest emotion that he was feeling. The strongest emotion that he was feeling was despair and it showed on his face.
No dungeon had ever been reprimanded by their creator like this, True Dragon Lord Astaroth was the first. This showed just how angry their father was with him…
True Dragon Lord Astaroth couldn't even begin to imagine the consequences that would follow, but he also didn't dare say a thing to try to explain for himself. All he could do was completely shut his mouth like his father had told him to.
The sloppily dressed man just stared at him for a few seconds before saying, "You're annoying with all your long winded words. You can go now."
With a flick of his hand, True Dragon Lord Astaroth disappeared.
No one dared to even look at where True Dragon Lord Astaroth had been standing since this was an unprecedented situation. No matter how their father felt, he had never sent one of them out of the dungeon conference like this before…
True Dragon Lord Astaroth might really be finished this time… 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m
When he reappeared in his dungeon, True Dragon Lord Astaroth looked like the world was collapsing around him.
He was an ambitious person, that was why he had done everything that he had done at the dungeon conference. However, nothing that he did should have gone against the bottom line since there were things that had been done before that were much worse than what he had done today…
He couldn't help muttering to himself, "Just what went wrong?"
As his mind quickly turned and countless thoughts flew by, the only thing he could think of was…
"The dungeon master…"
That was right, that was the only thing that had been different about today's dungeon conference.
Could it be that their father had been angry with him because of how he treated the dungeon master?
But why would the dungeon master attract this kind of attention from their father?
There were other dungeon masters before, so why was this one different?
True Dragon Lord Astaroth only allowed himself to wallow in his despair for a minute before he started plotting again.
It was clear that this dungeon master was being treated differently from the dungeon masters in the past. That must mean that this new dungeon master must have something that the others didn't, something that could even attract their father's attention.
Then if he were to take this special something from that dungeon master to present to his father…or even keep it for himself…
Wouldn't that mean that he would receive special attention from his father?
It seemed like he would need to find out more about this new dungeon core and her dungeon master…
With these thoughts in mind, True Dragon Lord Astaroth immediately gave a roar and summoned all of his subordinates.
There was a lot that he needed to do…
Back at the dungeon conference, everyone held their heads low as they waited for the sloppily dressed man to speak again.
No one dared to say a thing out of fear that his anger would be attracted to them. All they could do was lower their heads and pray that they wouldn't be the next target of the sloppily dressed man's rage.
But the sloppily dressed man didn't care about any of them.
Instead, he narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Lin Fan and Rokuko who also had their heads down.
After a long moment of silence that was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard, the sloppily dressed man finally said, "It was an interesting match, you both did good."
Everyone once again looked up in shock when they heard this.
They could tell that all of the anger that had been in his voice before was gone which allowed them to breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that they had weathered the storm and now they were safe.
But they didn't dare completely let their guard down as they waited for the sloppily dressed man to continue. After all, it was clear that he had more to say.
However, they were all still very shocked by the words he had said. Whenever they had done something like this in the past, the sloppily dressed man had always viewed it with indifference and didn't care about the results.
So why did that change today?
The sloppily dressed man ignored all of them and continued, "Since you've performed so well, I feel like you deserve some kind of reward."
This time, everyone's mouth dropped to the floor.
How long had it been since their father had given a reward?
It was so long ago that many of them couldn't even remember it anymore!
But only Lin Fan couldn't help slightly knitting his brows when he heard this.
To him, the voice of the sloppily dressed man wasn't like the voice of an angel, but rather the voice of a devil. He could tell that there were ulterior motives behind this "reward" and he was afraid of them.
After all, the other side was a god. Even if he wanted to resist, it was unlikely that he would be able to resist.
So he couldn't help being worried.
Once again, the sloppily dressed man completely ignored everyone as he continued, "However, I still haven't decided what to give you yet." Then as if he had suddenly thought of something, he said, "Come with me and let's talk in private. I want to get to know you a bit better to know what reward fits you best."
With a wave of his hand, there was a door that suddenly appeared in the middle of space and he walked through without caring about anyone else.
Lin Fan just looked at this door like it was the gates of hell.
He didn't know what the sloppily dressed man was planning on doing, but he was certain that it wouldn't be anything good. After all, the way that he had acted was just too shady…
But as for the other dungeon cores, they couldn't help looking at Lin Fan and Rokuko like they had won the lottery.
This was a private meeting with their creator, something that they couldn't even wish for. Not to mention that this was also a private meeting where they would receive a special reward from their father.
The older dungeon cores could remember that the last one who received this reward was dungeon core 525 and the power of her dungeon had greatly increased after that. She had become one of the rising stars of the friendly faction after that and it was even said that she had been taken under Haku's wings.
So naturally they couldn't be more envious of Lin Fan and Rokuko receiving this reward.
But no one dared to covet this since this was a reward from their father. If he wanted to give it to Lin Fan and Rokuko, then this reward could belong to no one else.
Since everyone was looking at them, Lin Fan and Rokuko had no choice but to enter the door.
During this entire time, Rokuko had been silent because she could tell how serious this situation was, so she chose to leave everything to Lin Fan just like how she chose to leave the mock dungeon war to him.
That was the trust that she had in him.
But of course, she was also excited since this was her creator and getting private time with this "father" was something that she also dreamed of.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Lin Fan walked through the door with Rokuko.
