Chapter 297
I was a little uncomfortable letting her off on her own, but I had to trust in her value. This wasn’t a country were slaves got snatched off the streets. Of course, before I let her leave, I decided to try to draw a map of the city. Well, I wasn’t going to give that guy 1 gold coin for one! Ahem… I mean, I knew what was useful to her and so I wanted to transcribe everything that she’d need to know from my map ability onto paper.
{You created a map. You have unlocked the job: Cartographer.}
I let out a noise of surprise. Just how long had it been since I last unlocked a job? Well, I didn’t really feel like I needed to do Cartographer, but it still felt nice. Still, it wasn’t a job that would do me much good at the moment. We had about half a day left. I was hoping to help everyone level. I was thinking about changing jobs and trying to get some of their other jobs to level up a bit. It’d be the quickest way to strengthen my party, I reckoned.
As for me, I wanted to focus on the Slave Master’s ability. I thought about asking Figuro how to get the Slaver ability too, but I had forgotten at the time. In fact, I had wanted to go to the library and research the job system in its entirety. I still only knew basically what most commoners knew. Do what you wanted and you’d unlock a job eventually.
After parting from Faeyna and giving her thorough instructions, the rest of us headed to the dungeon. I was worried some of the girls would be squeamish about entering the dungeons, but they all looked eager to try out the new equipment I bought them. Unlike Faeyna, these girls had grown attached to dungeons like me, it seemed.
The dungeon turned out to be in the middle of town. There was a massive wall around it, and it was very protected. There appeared to be a massive bizarre around it, filled with entertainers and merchants going about their day. It was very common to see those walking around in full armor. These were the dungeon divers. They all looked quite rough. Comparatively, our team really did look like noobs. A somewhat short guy who honestly looked a little scrawny after losing all that weight, and four pretty girls…
“2 gold each.” The guard said.
I whistled. “That’s a lot!”
He shrugged. “Most people don’t enter the dungeon casually. It usually takes weeks per journey. This is to discourage those who aren’t seriously committed! Are you sure you are prepared for the challenges of the great dungeon!”
He spoke in a loud voice that seemed to attract several eyes. As a group of pretty people in clean armor, it did look like we had never been in a dungeon before. This caused us to receive several scornful looks and even a few people pointing and laughing.
“Yup.” I handed the man 10 gold quickly and then ushered the girls in.
I tried to be as casual about it as I could, but this seemed to cause the man to grow confused. “Are you looking down on the Great Dungeon of Dirage?”
“Nope.”
I pushed the girls through the portal before he could rope me into any painful conversations. I really just wanted to see the dungeon. As for the price, with my most recent blessing, I could portal out of the dungeon now. I only needed to pay for it once!
Of course, I ended up not seeing the guard nod to another team.
“These noobies are going to get themselves killed.” He growled. “People dying in our dungeon is bad for business. Follow them and make sure they stay alive.”
A woman whose face was hidden behind a mask emerged from the shadows. She looked exactly like a ninja, covered in black.
“Mm!” She slid into the dungeon, a place she was so used to it was practically home.
