”That'll be 130 DP, please”, Mera said.
Before I got to argue about the last book, Orai walked over to Mera and gave her 130 DP. It seemed that Orai was able to generate our DP on command since the DP was stored with the core.
”Thanks for being a member of the PLOE! We hope to see you again next time!”, Mera said peacefully.
As we walked out of the PLOE, Orai put 2 of the books in Dungeon Storage. Since we had 340 DP left to spend, we decided it was time to get stuff for the dungeon. We knew that another room would cost 100 DP and a hallway would cost 50 DP so we had to factor that in. That left us with 190 DP to spend on Dungeon items to fill those new spaces.
”According to this book by Hidarus, we need to hire a Dungeon Architect to effectively build out the dungeon. Do you have any idea where to find people like that?”, I said.
”Of course! We need to head to the Dwarven District and see who's looking for work! If we are lucky, we'll find one who is also good at carpentry so he can make a new bed for us”, Orai said confidently.
As we both aggressively nodded in agreement, we headed over the dwarven district to find our new architect.
-------------------------------------
It took around 20 minutes but we made it over to the dwarven district. Every building in the district was exceptionally well made and shining in the sunlight. The craftsmanship of the dwarves was on full display for us to see.
”Luckily, after we hire the dwarf, he'll only want food and booze as opposed to daily DP payments. This is part of the reason that architects are the people that Dungeon Masters buy first. However, this also means that the dwarves can deny rookie dungeon masters if they don't like them”, Orai said.
As we walked along the dwarven district, we passed by the many bars and pubs that the dwarves built to satisfy their need for alcohol. We passed by many different vendors of dwarven products and services but couldn't find what we were looking for. Either the vendor was too much, too little, too weak, too mean, too nice, or a variety of other faults that we encountered. We spent around 2 hours searching the dwarven district but was unable to find the dwarf that would solve our problems. Before we left D2, we headed towards one of the more popular pubs in the district: The Drunken Sprite.
”I'm so tired of searching for this damn dwarf, I don't even care that this isn't one of the restaurants I wanted to visit”, Orai said exhaustedly.
As we walked in, we saw a group of angry Dwarves teaming up against a single dwarf!
”Who the hell do you think you are, Briggs? You talk shit all over our crafts, consistently insult us personally, and then you have the nerve to show your face in this pub? Is your brain as small as your pecker?”, one of the dwarves said. The dwarves had a unique, dwarven accent which was slightly slurred by their drunkenness.
As we watched the dwarves fight for a few minutes, Briggs was somehow holding his own. I'm guessing it was thanks to his muscles and quick reflexes since he was actually winning a 5 vs 1. Eventually, three D2 knights came into the pub and took the aggressors away. The dwarves were significantly more bruised than Briggs so the soldiers had to carry the dwarves on their backs. Since Briggs wasn't the aggressor, he was only told off with a warning. Judging from how the pub reacted, it seemed that bar fights were common in the Dwarven District. It didn't seem like anyone cared what happened.
After seeing that his letter rank was an A+, I decided to recruit him to the best of my ability. Even if the chances of him joining were small, we had nothing to lose at this point.
”Hey! Briggs! Let a Dungeon Master buy you a drink!”, I shouted.
”Buy me 10 and I'll call you whatever you want!”, Briggs smiled.
