Chapter 520 What are you doing here?
A week passed after that.
We could have gone back into the dungeon, but I didn't take that risk.
After what had happened, I wasn't certain that it would be a good idea for us to go in without some extra supplies, so I sent someone back to town to pass on the message.
With the time that it took to head back to the town and for the supplies to come, a week had passed.
But when they came, I couldn't help being surprised.
That was because there were several faces that I didn't expect that came with these supplies.
"What are you doing here?"
The ones that had come along were Haley, Moon, Veronica, and Elsa along with some elves and dwarves.
Haley was the first one to answer this, "You said that you discovered an even larger dungeon, so of course I would be here. I need to be here to appraise all of the items that you bring out so we can sell them properly later."
As she said this, there was an excited look that was in her eyes like she had discovered a treasure.
I couldn't help shaking my head when I saw this, but I knew that this would have happened if she heard this.
So I was more surprised to see the others here.
Moon just calmly said, "A bigger dungeon means more monsters and that means danger for us elves as well. So we're here to see what the new dungeon is like."
As for Veronica, I didn't even bother asking her what she was here for since I could already guess.
She was just here to watch the fun, so there was nothing to really ask her.
After all, it wasn't as if I would actually let her in the dungeon.
Though she did pout her lips when she saw that I ignored her.
I looked at Elsa and she said, "There might be new materials in the dungeon, so we're here to see if there's anything that we can use for our forging."
It seemed that all of them had come with excuses prepared already and there was nothing that I could do in the face of these excuses.
Or rather, I was glad that they were here.
Well, there were a few that I wasn't glad were here, but I was glad that the elves and the dwarves were here.
The elves and the dwarves were powerful in their own rights and they would definitely be helpful in exploring this dungeon. As long as they were willing to cooperate with us, it would help us while exploring this dungeon.
So I looked at Moon and Elsa and said, "Are you alright with following a human's orders while exploring the dungeon?"
Both of them looked at each other and looked at the other elves and dwarves before turning back to give a nod.
If they weren't alright with this, they wouldn't have come to my town in the first place.
Since they knew that this was a dungeon in my territory, they would need to cooperate with me to explore it. Cooperating with me meant working with the humans, but they already had experience with this because of their time spent in my town.
Seeing that they were willing, I gave a nod and then had Cecilia guide them away.
She would make sure that they would understand the formation that she had prepared and would be able to work with them properly.
I didn't need to get involved in this matter.
I didn't need to worry about Haley either since she was here for one reason and she was already getting down to it.
She went over to the supplies tent and was going to evaluate the items that we had already gotten from the dungeon.
With her eyes, I didn't need to worry about her.
The only thing that I needed to take care of now was Veronica.
She had snuck off and come here with their group, but she was still the daughter of a duke.
This place was a dangerous place that she shouldn't have come to and she definitely wouldn't be participating in the dungeon.
So I simply said, "I'll send two guards to watch over you. You will stay in the camp and not go into the dungeon."
Veronica immediately wanted to complain, but I wouldn't listen this time.
This was too important to play around, so I couldn't let her mess things up here.
Seeing the serious look on my face, it was as if she was crestfallen.
But at the very least, she understood that I wasn't joking.
So I had the two guards take her to one of the tents and had another guard prepare a batter tent for her as a guest.
As for me, I went over to where Cecilia was instructing Moon and Elsa.
Once I came over, I asked, "What's the plan?"
Cecilia was surprised to see me ask this, but she gave a simple explanation of the plan.
However, before she could finish, I said, "No, give me the real plan. I'm going in with you."
As soon as I said this, it was like a bolt of lightning had fallen down.
Cecilia, Moon, and Elsa immediately all tried to talk me out of this, but I wouldn't listen at all.
I couldn't help being surprised by Moon and Elsa trying to convince me otherwise.
It was normal for Cecillia to try and talk me out of this as one of my wives, but Moon and Elsa didn't have a reason to.
However, I wouldn't budge on this matter.
I just simply said, "You've seen all the things that I have done, you should understand what I'm capable of. Since that's the case, you should just let me go in with you all."
Then as if to add the cherry on top, I said, "I do have some tricks that I've been saving."'
Cecilia hesitated for a long time, but she agreed in the end.
Just like that, I was heading into the dungeon.
