751  Time For Another Hidden Dungeon Exploration

-----

(Elayne's POV)

After leaving Elena and Anna go on their date while Morpheus watched over them to protect them, we decided to log-in with Mark rather early after having lunch.

Of course, I had to take another bath because we had a little fun in bed, but aside from that, everything was good!

Once we logged-in, Rita and Lily had yet to log-in themselves, but we found Jenny already logged-in, and also most of Angelina's party too.

We ended having a big meeting on Ambil's forgery, having a talk while we helped him forge new ingots, weapons, and pieces of armor for our sale today.

Adventurers have been coming since the morning, according to Acorn, Nieve, Brisingra, and him have been working nonstop since then, so they felt relieved we arrived!

"Good thing you're finally here, Lady Planta, Titan!" Acorn celebrated. "We can… finally take a break, ugh…"

"Hey, don't you remember my name, fluffy?" Asked Jenny angrily.

"Slime girl?" Acorn wondered.

"I'm JENNY!" Jenny said angrily. "Ugh, but I'll forgive you as long as you let me pat this fat, fluffy belly here! Hehehe…!"

"Uwaah! H-Hey, don't do that! Hahaha…!" Acorn started giggling as Jenny patted his fluffy belly he had exposed as he rested over the couch.

"It is certainly relieving you've arrived. I never imagined that as a Princess, I would be doing this kind of work…" Brisingra laughed a bit lightly.

"Princess?" Ambil asked.

"I-I mean…" I said. "She's… Well, she grew spoiled so her father called her a princess sometimes!"

"I see…" Ambil nodded, rubbing his chin. "Anyways, you three can take a break I guess. Well done. You've been getting better at it too! Acorn has learned how to smelt and create some ingots with his Alchemy, Nieve is getting better at reinforcing and shaping metal with her ice magic, and Brisingra is becoming good in overall everything through natural practice, she has a good talent for Blacksmithing!"

"Amazing! I can see based on your Status; you guys have sure grown stronger." I nodded. "Not only your stats increased because of all the physical labor, but some of you also gained new Skills, well done!"

"To be praised by such a humble work, I don't deserve that…" Nieve bowed to me.

"Hahaha, don't be so exaggerated with it, Nieve. Well done." I giggled, giving her a head pat, which made her blush and smile a bit. "Anyways, let's get to work, Mark, Jenny!"

"Sure!" Mark nodded. "I'm all pumped up! Actually doing this really relaxes my nerves… I need something to distract myself after what happened yesterday."

"Honestly, yeah…" Jenny nodded.

"I can't agree more with that." I sighed.

As we started doing our job and the adventurers occasionally came to buy things, Angelina and her party members enjoyed a tea as they finally addressed something.

"So, we found the Hidden Dungeon you told us about." Angelina said. "It was pretty cool you guys could conquer one right away, but…"

"Well, it's not easy to say this, but we couldn't advance…" Anikitty lamented.

"You couldn't?" I wondered, smelting some ores, and fusing them with my spiritual energy. "But why? You guys are much stronger than us?"

"It wasn't a thing of strength! Well… Maybe." Said Erdrich. "We were unable to advance further because there's a powerful magic barrier, an array actually, made from runes not even Gandalf could solve."

"I'm rather bad at Runic Magic, actually. Quite complicated." Gandalf sighed.

"A barrier like the one we had to destroy yesterday?" Mark asked. "I see, so that was the reason you couldn't advance."

"It felt so easy for us to break in that I thought that could had never been a problem…" Jenny laughed. "I guess Planta's pretty amazing, isn't she?"

"Was there a barrier on the hidden dungeon you explored too?!" Angelina asked in disbelief.

"Wait, you destroyed that barrier?! Not even Angelina's strongest blows could! It was such a strong sealing array…" Gandalf said. "Unless… you deciphered it and broke its runic structure?!"

"Yeah, with the help of my Great Spirit of Harvest and Nature." I explained. "Come out, lazy girl."

POOF!

She appeared in front of them, looking at Gandalf with a very smug-like face, a teasing smile…

"Hehehe, what? Couldn't the big magician do something as simple as deciphering and destroying the runic structure of a flimsy magic array? Planta here could had done it too but I did it myself because I can do it quickly." Laughed the Great Spirit. "You Players are sure foolish to think Skills are all there is to it to this world! Magic Runes is something you should know to manipulate as an Arch Wizard, yet you said you're bad at using Runic Magic? Pathetic! You're not a magician!"

"W-What?!" Gandalf felt completely taken aback, bowing down to her and sighing. "I'm a pathetic man… You're right! I just… am too lazy to learn and memorize Runes! And using Skills is so much easier! I'm so pathetic…"

He gave up incredibly fast, his friends were all looking at him with weirded out faces…

"Hey Gandalf, calm down a bit…" Sighed Erdrich.

"You can always just learn later…" Anikitty laughed a bit nervously, patting the old man's head. "A-Anyways, I guess we'll have to leave that job to you guys. If possible, it would be nice if we went right now to deal with it… The sooner the better, especially because they might find out they were raided before and could escape."

"Right, you're not wrong." I nodded, as there were now almost a dozen ingots at my side, shining brightly with colorful rainbow-like spiritual auras. "Ambil?"

"Sure, go ahead, you've done a fine work here. I'll turn these into shields, armor, and other stuff." He nodded. "Once Achlys and Lily come back, I'll make them work for you, ahahah!"

"Ahahahah… Thank you, I guess they won't be joining us right now." I smiled. "It wouldn't be good if too big of a team goes there though. Jenny, you're staying too."

"Ah, nice. I didn't wanted to go fight more aberrations; I had nightmares already." Jenny sighed in relief.

"I'll come with Titan, and… you guys want to come and see for yourselves what's down there?" I asked my NPC friends.

They immediately agreed, despite being tired.
