"So you really don't care about other countries finding out about these dungeons." Kevjen was finally smiling.
"Anyway the dungeons are controlled by the guild, the country cannot interfere with that, this matter will be dealt with only between the guilds and the adventurers," I said as I smiled at him too.
After that, we talked a little more about it and we decided to do just that. As soon as each master arrived in their guild, mass publicity would begin about this new dungeon that had appeared near the capital.
Not caring, information about the adventurers having disappeared and how the dungeon supposedly worked would also be leaked.
Even though I wasn't sure if it actually worked that way, it was the theory that made the most sense at the moment.
After almost two long hours, the meeting had ended and all the masters had left. I took a deep breath as everyone left the room, I was feeling very tired.
I felt really pressured by them, mainly because I hadn't gotten a lot of information. Of course, I was also afraid that I hadn't made the right choice here.
Was spreading the word about the dungeon to everyone really a good idea? Maybe some bad-intentioned people show up to try to go after the dungeon, that wouldn't be good.
"Master, are you alright?" As I kept my eyes closed thinking about it, Rose walked into the room.
"Yeah, I'm just a little tired."
"I heard some of the conversations, is it really good to spread about this new dungeon so easily?"
"I was thinking about it too, but the other masters had no objection to that, so it's their fault too if something happens."
"You spoke in a way a little..."
"Of course I take my responsibility if something goes wrong. I had come up with this idea, so the biggest responsibility would be mine."
"..."
"Since you heard our conversation, you already know what to do, don't you? Prepare some posters explaining everything about the dungeon around the guild, and also hire someone to spread posters around town."
"But wouldn't you just divulge it within the guild?"
"Well, if we spread it around the city, the residents will also take this information to other cities."
"But then wouldn't it just be better to contact every guild master in the country and ask them to share it themselves? Just do the same with the main guild from other countries."
"You're right, it's better this way, isn't it?" I was a little tired so I didn't think much of it.
"Haha..." After Rose's forced smile, she went downstairs to start preparing posters to spread around the guild. And I had to get in touch with all the guild masters from the country and other countries, and as I was the guild master of the capital, I would have to do that.
I just wanted to get some rest now, I'm too old.
####
It's been a few more days since that happened, and the city was a mess. Everything that happened had started to be publicized by the guild itself, so almost everyone was already aware of the disappearance of the adventurers.
I got a big surprise when I saw this being released by the guild, I believed they would keep it a secret for a while longer.
"But I think they made the right choice." Rose had come here yesterday and had told me about choosing the guild. Apparently, information about the dungeon and the disappearance of the adventurers was being spread across the country.
Apparently even in other countries, this was being publicized.
A task force had practically been set up to find that dungeon, but nothing had been found so far. Well, of course, it wouldn't be that easy to find her.
But now that this was being disclosed, I think that one day they will find this dungeon. And the good thing is that I didn't even need to get involved.
I started to think a lot about it, what if I had entered the dungeon before notifying the guild? Would it have closed and I would have been trapped inside like the other adventurers? Glad I didn't go in.
Rose also looked really happy that I didn't.
'Now I could only think about going to school and taking some quests in the guild, I started to totally ignore this.' But it was not easy to ignore this event, as the adventurers only talked about this dungeon these days.
And maybe it will last for a long time.
But whatever, I don't really care.
"Lisandra, I'm leaving now." It was Saturday so we wouldn't have class today, I would go to the guild and take a mission. Since I joined the guild, I haven't taken on any missions.
"Okay, Ciaphia is coming with some friends here today, when you arrive don't be scared. And also remember not to take your clothes off in front of them." Lisandra smiled at me.
"Of course, I'll remember that." We had already had lunch, so it was late. I went down and walked without Sara noticing me, after which I went directly to the guild.
There weren't many adventurers here now, but those here were talking about the damn dungeon.
"Noah, it's been a while since I've seen you." When I entered the guild, I was greeted by Rose who was behind the counter with a smile on her face.
"Hello, but you were at the inn yesterday, weren't you?"
"Oh, true. But what brings you here today? Did you come to get more information about the dungeon? Unfortunately, nothing has been found yet."
"It's not that, I want to take a mission."
"So you're finally going to do your first mission." Rose looked a little dismayed by this.
"Don't worry, if I'm unlucky enough to find that dungeon again, I won't go into it, I'm not crazy enough to do that."
"I know that, but just remembering that you came close to entering that cave makes my heart... I'm afraid you'll get hurt."
"Ownt, finally fell in love with me?" I was just a kid, so saying that to a grown woman made everyone there start to laugh at the situation, Rose didn't look too happy.
"Listen, to me you're a little brother, that's why I'm worried about you."
"I know that. But don't worry, I'm not going to take on a very difficult mission so as not to worry you." I told her and then went to the wall where guild missions were placed.
My rank was F, but I could take any mission here, that was tempting. The number of RANK E and F missions was low, the highest number of missions were C-RANK.
The RANK E and F missions were basically searched missions. It wasn't missions that involved construction and cleaning but to look for lost animals and also to look for some specific plants in the forest
Apparently, pharmacists pay good money for herbs and some specific plants.
It was tempting because I would make a lot of money since I can do everything very quickly, but that would be really boring.
So I went straight to the RANK D and C missions, and I had found what I wanted, the subjugation missions.
The D-RANK missions were only for hunting wild animals and killing small groups of goblins and kobolds. Since the C-RANK missions increased the level a little, there was even a mission to look for a group of bandits here.
Also, the monsters started to level up. I had a mission to hunt an Orc, and another to hunt an Ogre. They are very similar monsters, but they are different in some ways.
Now if you wanted to kill a group of Orcs or Ogres, the quest would turn into a B-rank quest.
'I think I could accomplish a mission like this easily.' Killing an ogre group isn't too difficult with my skills. At the moment I don't have a sword, but doing it just with magic and with my bare hands wouldn't be difficult.
"Should I take one of these quests?" I was very interested in these B-rank missions, the reward was also very high, it was almost the amount of money our mother sent for us to survive a month in the capital.
Of course, the reward was big because a group is expected to do the mission and split the money, but I would earn good money since it's just me.
Without thinking twice, I picked up a B-RANK mission. The mission was as follows.
Kill a group of 6 Orcs that are blocking the road from merchants coming from the south.
Reward – 1 Gold Coin and 60 Silver Coins.
A gold coin was a lot of money, that would be enough for a humble family to live for a whole month without problems.
That was the mission I was going to do myself, so I walked to the counter and handed the paper to Rose.
"You're kidding, right?" She looked at me disapprovingly.
