BXBX NOVEL Chapter 205: Planning
"According to what Narbeth said, before we came here, only frost giants were monsters that gave you trouble. When Ariel and I came here, many more frost giants were attacking the village, and on top of that, monsters of different races started to appear."
Ariel seemed to know where the conversation was going from James\' words, she smiled and seemed to wonder how he hadn\'t thought of it.
"My theory is that we activated a dungeon when we arrived on this floor. You, who have encountered frost giants for years, suddenly encounter different monsters, this is against the laws of the tower, there cannot be anyone who would do such a thing except monsters with proper leaders which means there should be a person or a monster that is close to be a god." James said and continued to speak without stopping.
"As for me, I need to find that dungeon and then destroy it by entering it. Dungeons are, of course, strange things. They can even form in safe zones, which can be considered protected after a certain period. That\'s exactly what happens in the imperial and extra-imperial areas of the fifth floor, where some low-level climbers often strengthen their abilities."
"I want to aim to reduce the danger by destroying at least one dungeon."
When James finished all his words, he started to wait for the answer from the others, but he could not find any answer.
After a deep silence for half a minute, Ariel\'s voice echoed in the room:
"It\'s fine, leave Miracle here just in case, take Sophia with you and go exploring. You can leave the protection of the village to me and my dear granddaughter Miracle."
James nodded and prepared to speak when Ariel said these words and Narbeth\'s voice was heard at that moment:
"I don\'t know exactly what will happen, and I\'ve never heard of a dungeon in my life, but if this is what the young master wants to do, we have no reason to hold you back. As long as you are careful on this expedition, that is enough for us."
After Narbeth\'s words, it did not take long for everyone to approve James. With these looks, James realised that he had to get ready. Even though he had not expected the conversation to last so long, he still tried to leave the room to get ready and then he was stopped by those in the room.
"What\'s going on?" James asked, and Ariel said, "I understand that you want to clear the Dungeon, James, but what you need to do right now is rest. Sit down, eat, sleep for one more day, and then if you\'re on your way, go."
James didn\'t know what to say, there was no stopping him if he wanted to get out of here right now, but he was well aware that those around him were saying such things out of concern for him.
Even if he had slept for 60 days he had still managed to reach the elemental core upon awakening and create two magic rings on top of that, that was more than enough to make up for 60 days.
That\'s why James had decided to listen to the looks he was getting from all around him.
Sitting where he was and looking around, James asked, "So, what are we doing?" and with that, Elanor entered the room.
"Oh, Elanor, my dear wife! Just in time!" Narbeth said.
James saw the food cart being pushed by Elanor and then said, "Indeed, it has been some time since I have eaten Lady Elanor\'s cooking. Even when I woke up, I was eating from my inventory and getting on with things."
After only two minutes, a table was set and more than ten plates of food were placed on the table.
Champagne, wine and many other alcohols were on the table and it was obvious that a little fun was going to break out.
Time flew by and James realised that he had woken up on his bed and saw the half-demon Dandelion lying on the floor, having fallen off the bed.
He could see Narbeth and Luke passed out in the room, but Ariel, Elanor and Miracle were nowhere to be seen.
Even Sophia was unconscious, sleeping on the dining table, her little face red with alcohol.
James was sure that he hadn\'t fainted from the alcohol, after all, he had a great deal of stamina, his body was used to such things, and on top of that, he was a Poison Master. A tiny amount of alcohol that could be considered poison couldn\'t harm him.
"I must be exhausted," James said and then grabbed Sophia who was sleeping on the dining table and put her into the jacket he was wearing.
Then he left the room and left the house.
The direction he was going was of course clear. Early in the morning, with his greetings to the people of the village, he left the village without stopping and started walking towards the forest area.
When he reached the place where they had arrived when the Kat mission first started, James noticed an energy. A very weak energy was travelling under the snow that had fallen.
Knowing that this branching energy would come to an end, or rather, knowing that this energy would move forward and return, James realised that he had to look around carefully.
When he got down on his knees and tried to feel the energy moving under the snow, he saw that the branched energy he had realised was moving towards more than a hundred places, it was possible that more dungeons than he thought existed on this floor.
Knowing this, James took the holy sword Clarent out of his inventory and took it in his right hand and wanted to be prepared to defend it in case of attack.
It seemed that the dungeon search had already begun.
