The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 29 - Meeting

I ran after Elin who had come out first. Unbeknownst to me, the structure of this artificial Dungeon had already begun to be quite large. There are currently 5 main floors used as the residence of the goblins.

On each floor, it will be connected to their work place. The farmland is now starting to have a bright light due to the magic of the Goblin Shaman that I just evolved earlier.

"It seems that they really understand his work." I said as I continued to run upstairs. 

On the top floor there is only 1 entrance that passes through a secret door that is well hidden. I opened the door that had a rock-like appearance slowly and then entered into the secret passage. 

This road will connect with the cave in the Alpa mountains. 

By the time I got outside, it seemed that the situation had started to heat up. I saw Elin being cornered by 3 players. 

'If they can corner Elin, aren't their abilities very high?'

...***...

5 Minutes earlier.

"What are you looking for here?" Say a girl to the 3-member group. Yes, that girl is none other than Elin.

"We want to find the demon beast tamer. Most of the townspeople said he had been arrested. But I don't believe that." Reply to a man of stout and great stature.

"Yes, that demon has been captured by the Inquisitors of the Celestine Holy Kingdom." Answer Elin.

"You better not lie young lady." Replied a man with a thin body from the group.

"What do you mean?" Ask Elin.

Yes, Elin is currently a little scared. Using the power of his Unique Skill: Observer, he learned how serious the situation was.

'They're all monsters! I never thought that he would be here!' Elin thought to herself. 

'Worse yet, I couldn't see the status of that skinny man.'

The large-bodied man in the middle had level 142, while the woman who looked like a witch had level 137. All of their information was clearly visible before Elin. Names, Skills, Status, everything.

But not for that skinny guy.

"Because I'm being kind then I'll tell you, little lady." Continue the skinny man.

Right now, Elin was already preparing to be in a fighting position. He knew that letting the three of them here was dangerous.

Sooner or later, they would find Dungeons made by Elin and Eric. 

'They mustn't find the location of the Dungeon, at least until the combat power of this artificial Dungeon becomes slightly stronger.' Thought Elin.

The skinny man continued his words.

"The Ancient Book: Truth Seeker"

Elin immediately realized the situation. Ancient Book: The Truth Seeker. In other words, the thin man was the owner of one of the ancient books. 

If seen from the name alone, Elin can guess what his ability is like.

"Young Miss. That Observer Skill of yours is a lowly version of my skill." Followed the skinny man.

In less than half a second, Elin, who had realized how bad the situation was, immediately prepared to flee.

But his legs were already trapped in the witch's Thorn Vine magic. 

[You received 541 damage!]

[You received 578 damage!]

Every time he tried to move his legs, system notifications popped up indicating he continued to receive damage. 

"Where's Zone! Depletion!" 

Elin took out one of his flagship skills. If you ask what is the weakness of a player who relies on skill? The answer is of course if his MP runs out.

The magic released by the woman disappeared quickly.

That was the effect of Elin's Depletion skill. Within a radius of several tens of meters will be created a drought zone where. Everything inside will run out of mana without exception. Including Elin.

Although the ability of this skill seemed extraordinary, but it was all meaningless for a swordsman who did not need Mana to swing his sword.

'Damn it, I never thought I'd meet the owner of Truth Seeker here.' Thought Elin.

Ancient Book: Truth Seeker.

His ability is to know the truth. The owner of this book can know the truth of whatever he sees. Name, Skill, Status, including the truth of one's words. Not only that, the owner can also hide the truth himself. Therefore, no one will be able to see information about him.

When viewed roughly, this skill is a higher version of the Observer skill owned by Elin.

However, unlike Elin's Observer skill which is a passive skill, the Truth Seeker Skill is an active skill that must be continuously activated to dig deep information. Even to know the truth of one's words.

Mana consumption? Sure is amazingly big. 

That was the weakness of Unique Skill : Truth Seeker which included the abilities of the ancient books.

But that doesn't mean anything if Elin doesn't know it.

From the outside, the skill of the skinny man seemed to far exceed the ability of Elin's skill. 

"He's...." 

Not having time to finish his sentence, there was a powerful electric strike towards the man. 

"Eric's stupid! Get the fuck out of here! That skinny guy can see everything!" Shouted Elin to Eric who had just unleashed his Lightning Strike low-level magic.

"Oh. so that's the rumored monster taming devil." Said the big-bodied man who casually received Eric's attack. Although it was low-level magic, it should of course still deal damage. But it seemed to have no effect on the man at all.

'uh? A devil? What does he mean I?' I was confused by the words of the big man.

"We're not here to fight you." Continue the man.

Eric, who felt that they had no bad intentions, began to relax his vigilance. He approached Elin and lifted her to stand up.

"What do you want from me?"

The big man received a whisper from the skinny man who had been observing Eric.

"I have understood you. As to why you faked your abilities, I won't ask Eric further. Moreover, if you want to help me, I will promise to keep this a secret." Said the big man.

'Done already, anyone knows about Eric's abilities....' Thought Elin.

"My name is Chris. This skinny guy next to me is my deputy, Neo. The woman behind me is Alice. The three of us are from the Salvation Guild. You must have heard of us, haven't you?"

"You..didn't you conquer that kingdom?!" Ask surprised.

Elin just stayed by my side. He seems a little shocked at something. 

"Yes, that's us. However, due to a slight problem, we have not been able to establish our kingdom. Therefore, I want to ask for your help." Chris continues.

"Say what it is. The important thing is that you keep your promise regarding my identity."

"I swear to that Eric. Besides, I'll pay you too. All I need is that goblin army of yours." 

"How much?"

"There's so much you can give me."

I was confused to respond to his words. As much as I can give? What the hell does that mean.

"Moreover, we'll give you the facility to do the monster's 'taming. For every monster, maybe I'll buy it for 10 silver. As for the total amount I expected at least 100 thousand monsters. 10000 gold coins will at least go into your pocket, Eric. How's it?"

10000 gold coins. If withdrawn into rupiah money approximately 300 million rupiah. That's a fantastic amount for me. 

"I'll also pay more if you can produce as many powerful monsters as the little girl and the one beside you carry." Chris points his finger at Spire, Swardia and Knox. 

Elin, who had been silent, started to open her mouth.

"Explain the situation first."

We sat in the tent that the three of them had made.

They explained in detail about the problems they were facing. It seems, until now they have not been able to establish their own kingdom.

The invasion of the barbarian army from the desert cost them a quarter of their potential territory. Moreover, the barbarian forces that later entered the territory of the Merchant Federation infuriated the higher-ups in the federation. In the end, the Merchant Federation declared war on Chris's Guild Salvation rebellion.

At the same time, Chris and his guild had paid 5 million gold to the system as a condition of establishing the kingdom. However, due to the unstable condition of the kingdom due to the war with the forces of the Merchant Federation, the system refused the establishment of this kingdom until the kingdom was in a peaceful condition for at least 1 week.

The problem starts here. Chris's mutiny force was basically just a lowly experienced army. Fighting against the elite forces as well as the large number of players from the merchant Federation was simply impossible. It could even threaten the defeat of the Salvation Guild. 

Since they have paid 5 million gold, then they must defend this kingdom with all their might so that the money they have given up is not in vain. 

"Then from that, Eric. I need your strength. I will pay a large sum as long as this crisis can be resolved." Chris said at the end of the explanation.

"What do you think, Elin?" My toot.

"We have to accept of course. After all, the secret of your ability and mine is already in their hands. We can't refuse him. Plus if it's that big of a paycheck, there's no reason to turn it down, right?" Obviously Elin.

"Just be calm about the secret, we'll take care of it." Obviously Chris.

"In that case, I'll explain in advance about my limits."

Elin and I also explained how my abilities work. Basically, the biggest barrier to me is Mana. Chris who understood that gave a very crazy solution.

"Just relax, I will supply you with as much Full Mana Potion as you need!"

"Are you crazy Chris? 1 Full Mana Potion the price could reach 3 gold coins!" yelled Elin loudly.

"Ah that's fine for me, after the money collection there is still about 100 thousand gold coins left. So just calm down."

"So how? Are you going to accept this offer?" Chris continues.

"In advance payment. 20 thousand gold. If you can provide it, then I will work until your royal crisis is over. Want it 100 thousand goblins or more is not a problem for me." My answer to Chris.

"Haha! I like your attitude! All right, then we all agree. Now, you two should come with us to the remains of Rena kingdom. I'll pay when I get there."

"alright. If you keep your word, then I will also fulfill my duty. You don't have a problem with this, do you, Elin?"

"Who would have gotten into trouble if he got that kind of money!" Elin replied with a very wide smile.
