Chapter 104 - 103 - Meeting.
After everyone arrived, I went upstairs and also went to the room where the meeting would take place. I was carrying a tray with a pot full of tea and also some cups.
I couldn't carry it all by myself, so Rieli had come down to help me.
"Excuse." I opened the door and entered the room where the meeting was to take place. The meeting looked like it hadn't started yet, so I took the opportunity to serve everyone's tea very carefully.
The guild master was watching my every move so I didn't do anything wrong. You're pushing me too hard, stop looking at me like that.
I served everyone tea equally and then left the room taking the pot with me. The guild master told me to stay on the other side of the door in case anyone needed anything, and that's what I did.
Rieli came down and I continued to stand in front of the door. There was no one else in the guild at the moment but us, but it was still good to keep an eye out for anyone not to come close and hear something.

"It's a pleasure to have you all here." I was inside a room with guild masters from various cities in our country. After I warned them about the supposed dungeon, they wanted this meeting.
And I can understand them, they want to know more about what had happened and everything we know about it.
"The pleasure is all mine," Royma said as she lowered her head a little. She was a half-elf, and maybe she's the person I have the most contact with here.
"This tea is not very good." Kevjen looked a little impatient and didn't even greet me, he spat all the tea back into the cup and placed the cup on the table.
"I'm sorry about that, should I ask her to bring something else?"
"It is not necessary." Dude, he's a bit of an annoying guy.
"It's a pleasure to be here, I think this is the first time I've seen you in person?" The next one to greet me was Clana. I've never seen her in person before, she is a very beautiful woman.
"Yes, I don't think we've ever met before," I said as I smiled at her.
"Let's get straight to the point? I need to get back quickly." Nathlau was also impatient. He had an expressionless face as usual.
"It's good to see you again, Fortin, haven't you aged a little more?"
"Hello Holfer, haven't you aged a little more too?" We were the oldest ones sitting at that table, we had known each other for a long time, it was good to see that he was still doing very well.
But we had to put our reunion aside for the moment, everyone around us was a little impatient, they wanted to cut to the chase, so I started talking about the dungeon.
I had brought a bag with me, so I picked it up and then pulled out some papers from inside.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Here is some information I gathered with the help of some adventurers." I handed them a paper each. There is all the information I had gotten.
Like where the dungeon was, what it was like before it disappeared, and everything weird around the place.
"That's it? haven't you discovered anything else?" The first to say something as soon as he finished reading was Kevjen. He had a disapproving look in my direction.
"I'm sorry about that, but the dungeon disappeared before we could figure anything out. And also all the adventurers who entered there disappeared along with her."
"Tsk." Kevjen clicked his tongue and then fell silent.
"Speaking of looking for something, I also looked in my guild files, and there was nothing about it," Clana said as she sighed deeply, she looked a little disappointed that she hadn't found anything.
The others, including Kervjen, also said the same thing. They searched their archives, even old books, but found nothing that spoke of a dungeon that disappeared or moved.
Normally a dungeon that popped up never disappeared again. There have been no cases of a dungeon disappearing after they emerged, so there is so many dungeons around the world.
"This is a little disappointing, even though I called you here, I couldn't gather much information," I said a little embarrassed and very upset about the situation.
"Don't worry, as you can see, we don't have any information about that either."
"Yeah, it's something you've never seen before, so it's a little difficult to know something about it without a little deeper investigation, it will probably take some time." Holfer closed his eyes and looked a little thoughtful.
"But the problem is where to start. We've already investigated where the dungeon existed before and found nothing but magical power."
"Have you tried to track the magic power? Maybe there's a way to where the dungeon is now." Kevjen said as he put the cup to his mouth and drank some of the tea. Didn't you say it was horrible before?
"Of course we did that, but the magic power was just around there, we tried to track it to another place, but there was no sign of that magic power after a radius of 500 meters."
"I see, so it's like the dungeon just disappeared, there's no sign that it's been 'Taked' elsewhere."
"That's right, and that magic power was very strange the adventurers said, and it was also very powerful."
"Hm?" Clana looked curious about this.
"The adventurers said that the amount of magic power there and also its "strength" was like the magic power of a class A monster, it was very powerful."
"Oh, that's interesting." Clara did seem interested in this.
"I don't think I've ever heard of such a strong dungeon before in our country, isn't that amazing?" Nathlau said excitedly.
"It would be amazing if this same dungeon hadn't swallowed up many adventurers and disappeared too, don't you think?" I looked at him disapprovingly, making him quiet.
"But now, what do you want to do? Since you can't track by the magic power, what do you intend to do?" Royma asked, she hadn't said anything since the beginning of the meeting.
"I hope you guys help me with this, that's why I called you here. Of course, I wanted to talk to you guys a little bit about it, but I also wanted to get help."
Everyone looked at me and waited for me to continue to say something, so I took a deep breath and continued.
"I know it's not good to spread around that a lot of adventurers are probably dead, but I want you to spread it to as many places as possible about this dungeon."
"Which? If we let this information about this dungeon spread too much, other countries will want to interfere with it, you know how they are." He's right, if information about such a different dungeon got out, they wouldn't be quiet.
All countries like new things, they will go after it to monopolize it, but... Dungeons are usually run by the guild which is a unique system that doesn't depend on the country to maintain itself.
So all guilds from all over the world are united into one basically, some country or government wouldn't dare meddle in this matter.
I know the king, and our country wouldn't even think of getting involved in this matter.
But even so, it's better to be careful...
"Would they be able to monopolize something that keeps moving between random places?"
"?" They were all confused.
"Given what happened, I can only assume that this dungeon hasn't disappeared forever, it wouldn't make sense something like that. So the only thing I could think of was that she would be changing position."
"Do you know something and you haven't told us?"
"Okay, I received some interesting information this morning. I still haven't even told my most competent receptionist that took care of the exploration."
"Tell me quickly what it was." As always Kevjen was impatient.
"An adventurer who preferred me not to give his name away had chased the other adventurers as they headed toward the dungeon. Shortly after the adventurers entered the dungeon, the cave had closed."
"Which?! So this dungeon was created precisely to capture adventurers?"
"I wouldn't say it's something like that, but maybe it's just programmed to close down whenever someone enters. It's almost like you program a magic clock to wake you up in the morning, understand?"
"So the dungeon always closes when someone enters, and then it opens up somewhere else to take other victims."
"I assumed that's it. But the problem is... it only leaves a trail of magical power where it was before, there's no way to track it at all."
"So you want to spread about this dungeon so that adventurers are careful and don't end up getting into it."
"Yes, and when they find something like that, it's for them to communicate with the guild so we can take care of this dungeon."
"Okay, I think I get it."
"So all we need to do now is spread about this dungeon in our cities, eh?" Holfer stroked his beard as he smiled.
"That's right, in a short time the information will be in every city in the country.. We also have to get in touch with the main guild in each country to talk about it."
