Chapter 270: Uneasiness. (2/2)

“Yeah, go back toto the pros! Who would believe this nonsense”

The people that were listening froive him the chance to explain Theto happen they didn’t believe him This was a hard pill to s for people who only heard distant ru in the distant past They all wereto vacate the pre unsavory when they panicked

“Hey, will you idiots calht, what if he is telling the truth, let hiroup of four young adventurers stepped forward Two girls and two young roup that he saved from a trap and also his first real custo down at the others, he was finally able to speak

“Thank you, as I was saying A tier 3 Lich has appeared in the dungeon, it is able to create tier 2 ranked skeleton soldiers that range fro able to run through the boss's chah possibility that they will be able to get outside and we don’t know the extent of their nuhted with the like that be down there…”

“They got past the boss chamber? But that’s not supposed to happen…?”

For now, Roland was finished with his speech Even though he was responsible for releasing the Lich into the dungeon he could not be responsible for the people here if they ignored this information Some of them would probably believe him and return to the city to seek shelter while others would reht even see this as a chance to gain some money, the tier 2 bones left over by the skeletal soldiers could be sold as craftingthe truth?”

“I am, I’m not sure how fast the skeletons will reach this level or if they will but it would be wise to be cautious”

One of the guards that were stationed at the entrance walked up to hi The man’s face went quickly pale as he was required to stay here and guard the entrance Ifout he and the few sentries that were placed here would be required to act If they didn’t then they could be sent to prison for desertion

“Don’t worry, the guild should have been informed and so should Lord Arthur I don’t think he would blame you if you retreated in these circulance at the soldier before hih at all, it wasn’t over fifty which would put hiuards here there was a small camp setup around here There were perhaps twenty soldiers here with the captain being the only person over tier 1

With the current lack of resources, Arthur was just unable to place more forces outside the city This wasworth protecting here What happened inside of the dungeon was outside their grasp and every adventurer still needed to go to the guild to sell the resources they gathered

The only thing between the dungeon and the city were peddlers that sold some necessities, like potions and travel food for people that forgot to bring theons that returned to the safety of the city if it got too late Thus the evacuation effort could go save Thanks to the s adventurers it see off

“That is all, decide for yourselves if you want to stay here but be warned, these creatures should not be handled by anyone below the silver rank”

Roland was through with his quick speech When looking at the group of four he just nodded as a sign of gratitude The one that went by the nalad that he could be of some use Noas time for him to return home and so he quickly activated his stat boosters and took off It was quite a surprise to see the speed he was capable of and onlyseeuy… if even he is afraid of those o back to the city…”

Not long after the are chunk of adventurers started backing off More andout which only fueled their worries It was clear that this was too , there eon break wasn’t that outlandish anymore

…

“Mary, is this true?”

“My lord, I see that you spoke to the guildabout a Lich being sighted in the dungeon, he didn’t really explain hiuild would handle it but can they? He really requested quite the su frown on his face The whole conversation went by too quickly, it seeuild didn’t like hi out of nowhere In reality, this would fall into the guild's jurisdiction but as the city lord had to sponsor at least part of the job

If the dungeon remained closed off and adventurers were unable to farm for materials the city would lose a lot of taxable incoer than that of the guild eon was destroyed Aurdhan could just leave and find work elsewhere while the city he was running slowly died

The only way to speed up the process would be to place a large bounty on the Lich’s head This reas of course provided by the guild but to get things rolling faster a noble normally added some wealth to attract powerful tier 3 adventures Those experts would not just leave their cozy homes and travel all the way to the iessubstantial”

Mary the maid bowed in shame as she was unable to deliver the required infor the intelligence gathering agency and there were even plans of expanding but with how little budget she had things were hard As the news dropped in the city she was infor new

“It’s not your fault, if you had some proper attendants under you, then this would have never happened but that doesn’t matter now, if a Lich has appeared then it reeit will affect our botto tier 3 adventures won’t be that easy”

“I know but I must… hm?”

“My lord?”

Arthur raised his hand as he heard a beeping sound It was co from inside of his desk drawer that he quickly opened up Mary was curious why the lord was raising his hand to quiet her down but soon she realized that he was holding a small crystal ball It was the one Wayland the runes up the turrets around the city

It caether with a flat piece of metal with an incline section to place the orb inside At first, both of theic ball but in actuality, it had an ingenious function Instead of seeing the person on the other side, only a short text h it

The buttons that were on the plate had pre-programmed texts that Arthur could send towards Wayland if he ever needed hi, with a function that toggled through the ti, to a letter and letting anyone know of this ever happening

Now on the other hand the device was beeping and flashi+ng without hi it There was a small pocket for mana fluid for such an occasion but a secondary battery needed to be attached for the ht out as supposed to be a runic battery and placed it on the designated spot on the plate After a little clicking sound, the orb began glowing brighter and text started to quickly appear

“”

“What is it, my lord?”

“This is…”

Mary was surprised by Arthur’s behavior and wanted to peek over his shoulder It took a few seconds for hi hard on the desk where he placed the ical orb on

“This can be, how can there be a dungeon break in this city? Aeon break?”

Mary was evenas they spoke? If it was then it would certainly bring everyone's attention to this area but for all the wrong reasons…
