Chapter 308 Iminent danger (3)

The next day, when Billy was about to leave for the dungeon, he got surprised by two things. The first was a wagon filled with Edish fruits. Jean had sent them, and he wanted Billy to use them as fuel. The other surprise was Alexander's presence. It was obvious why he was there, but he still decided to explain it.

"We decided that we will help you in turns," Alexander said. "We can't leave Lara alone, and Natalie and Kate still need some time off. However, Lily can help now and then and so can Sarah."

"I don't really help, though," Billy said. "It isn't like I am planning to clear that dungeon now."

"Come on, don't be like that," Alexander said. "I have been training hard, but I feel like I need something more real to keep improving."

That wasn't Billy's problem, but in the end, they were doing that to help the state, so he couldn't refuse the help. In any case, Alexander must have heard that the enemies had high endurance in that dungeon, but he still only brought his spear. Billy gave his friends magic crossbows, but the idiots left that at home… In any case, Billy didn't say anything else and just told him to enter the car.

While Billy didn't make any tunnels toward that direction, he still managed to escape the eyes of others by using an unusual route toward the northeast. Thanks to that, they reached the place after just three hours, and then Billy created a hole to hide the magic cart. Regardless, that part of the state was pretty calm since it was basically one massive grassland. However, they could see a town being built in the distance and around the dungeon. That same town had some parts destroyed in the recent attacks. Some residences had been completely destroyed by the monster's rampage.

"Let's look for the people in charge of things here," Billy said.

"Why do you want to keep the magic cart a secret so much?" Alexander asked.

"Mind your own business," Billy replied.

"I thought you would act more mature after becoming a father, but you are harsh as ever," Alexander said. "Anyway, anything new with Christina and Hector?"

"Nothing much, but I just learned how awesome it is to put them to sleep in my arms, Hector still dislikes me, though," Billy replied.

It was a bit unexpected that those two would only talk about their kids all the way toward the dungeon, but since they were pretty much doting parents, it couldn't have been helped. Regardless, once they got close enough to the town, some people began to recognize them. Some of them were the survivors of the recent wars and Alexander's students. While they received training, some of them became Adventurers instead of soldiers. Jean also told many of them that they should follow the path that they wanted because the guilds were shorthanded.

"You are…" A woman that had short, black hair said when they approached the entrance of the dungeon.

"I am Billy, Vanguard's guild master," Billy said. "This is Alexander, one of my lackeys."

"Hey…" Alexander protested.

"I have heard of you two, lord Jean mentioned that some reinforcements might come, but I didn't think it would be so fast and would be you guys," The woman said. "My name is Paule, and I am organizing things here until someone comes to substitute me or someone manages to clear the dungeon."

Paule had a red spear, so she was a captain and not an adventurer. She seemed to be in her twenties, and most people become captains when they are thirty, so it seemed that she was a capable person. Still, it was weird to send an officer instead of an adventurer to such a place.

"How are things here after the first monsters managed to escape?" Billy asked.

"We are keeping the population of monstes on the first floor in check, but things are getting complicated on the others," Paule replied. "We assuming that in the next few weeks, they will leave the lower floor and then things will get complicated again."

Billy sighed. He will have to do more than just give a hand at that rate. Another problem was the fact that he didn't want to stay there until someone solves the problem. It was in his plans to clear the dungeon and become its guild master, but not right now. Besides, could someone become a guild master of two places? I suppose Jean wouldn't refuse since no one managed to clear.

"Well, just waiting here won't help us in any way," Billy said. "Let's get going, lackey A."

"Stop with that…" Alexander said and then sighed.

"By the way, which parts of the monsters can be used?" Billy asked.

"Their horns, they make for good medicine after they are turned into powder," Paule replied.

"What kind of medicine?" Billy said.

"Aphrodisiac," Paule replied.

"Seriously?" Billy frowned.

Billy wondered how the hell a monster's horns could make a man's sword stand. It didn't make any sense, and why would someone try to digest the powder of their horns?

"You seem strangely interested in the subject," Alexander said. "It must be hard to be you with two wives."

"I am just surprised that monsters can be used like that," Billy said. "Putting that aside, you will take the vanguard today. I will stop the monsters and take the horns and you finish them off."

Paule guided them toward the dungeon, and they frowned when they noticed that the hole was pretty big, much more if compared to the entrance of the other dungeons. While it was expected, given the size of the monsters on the first floor, it was at least four times bigger than those… Almost as if the hole was big in order to let something else leave.

"I suppose it is the monsters on the Lower levels… Unexpectedly, this dungeon might be a lot more tougher than I predicted," Billy thought.
