The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

Chapter 77: Ch 77: Getting Friendly With the Okniser Family

The person who suddenly entered the room was a dark skinned man who looked to be in his late thirties. He has mostly elf-like features just with a darker skin tone but unlike an elf he also had bits and pieces of scales on some part of his body.

His body was also very burly and well built unlike other elves. All in all he gave off an intimidating feeling. But none of the people present in the room was scared of him except for the butler who was also able to masterfully maintain his perfect posture even after getting shaken up by a bit.

After entering the room he gave an appraising look to Rein and Lauren. Then she finally spoke up -

"Hello, mister Rein and miss Lauren. I'm Ludfrek Xenis Okniser and the founder of this family. Nice to meet you all."

Rein and Lauren also greeted him politely and introduced themselves. Then Ludfrek sat down on one of the single sofas and suddenly joined the discussion.

The reason why he suddenly appeared here was quite simple actually. He had a rare treasure that allowed him to search the whole parameter of the house to find people with high combat strength.

He had made this item to get integrated with this property and that way he would be notified when someone powerful approached the family.

But even after thousands of years no one came to their family whose power was even close to his own. So after a few centuries he stopped setting up that item.

But after hearing Rein talking about inherent special abilities and stuff with such confidence which were quite high level things even he did not know much about as he was not a special ability holder, he thought that this Rein person might be somewhat powerful.

So he activated that magic item after a long time.

But the result made him speechless. According to this treasured item, there were currently three people present in this house who were stronger than him. Yes, stronger than him. This item used Ludfrek's own strength as a basis to judge the power of other people.

This machine was currently showing that those three people were significantly stronger than him.

The only new people who recently came here were this group of five people of a young boy and four girls. So there was a very high chance that three among them were the strong presences that the item recognised.

Unfortunately this item was not capable of pinpointing the location of the presences so he could not determine who among them were so strong, for that reason he decided to treat all of them politely and thus came to greet them.

He also just could not leave such powerful people alone, so he was also joining the meeting for safety precautions.

When Ludfrek activated this magic item, Rein immediately noticed it. He was sure that Tasha and Stella noticed it too. This was actually quite a powerful item as none of them were able to detect it before it was activated.

They still managed to lower their power output a little bit to trick this item but they did not have enough time so when this item finished reading their power level, they were still at the peak of green grade and that was the reading that this item managed to take.

...

After Ludfrek joined them, the mood that was created disappeared completely as he was subconsciously giving Rein and Lauren cautious glances. So after telling Derotixa about the training method in detail Rein promised to have another chat with her some other time and left the room with Lauren.

Lauren would get busy from the next day as she needed to start working on the flowers to make them bloom. So, she was planning to spend as much time as possible with Rein before that.

For that reason, she took Rein's hands in hers and took him toward a route that was longer to return back to the room where they were staying.

As Rein and Lauren were getting all lovey dovey, Derotixa asked Ludfrek why he looked too tense with a puzzled expression. Ludfrek was Derotixa's teacher and she had never seen her teacher to act like this.

Her teacher was a person who had transcended the limit of a normal person long ago. He had never met anyone when he was traveling who was significantly stronger than him and only a few people who were as strong as him.

When Derotixa also transcended the limit of a normal living being she was able to understand just how strong her teacher actually was as even after transcending the regular ranking system, she was still unable to see the depth of her teacher's strength.

So she was extremely astonished to see a cautious and downright fearful expression on his face.

After hearing his student's question, he started to tell her everything with a serious expression on his face.

"Derotixa, you know about the Eye of Torrua, right ? I activated that item just a few moments ago just on a whim but I was extremely astonished to find out that there are currently three people present here who are stronger than me."

As soon as Derotixa heard that her eyes widened in disbelief. When she saw her teacher's serious expression, she was already listening to him with extreme concentration but she was still astonished to know that there were actually people stronger than her teacher and three of them at that.

As an intelligent person she also immediately understood who these powerful people could be.

Seeing the look on Derotixa's face, Ludfrek understood that his smart student was able to guess most of the matter just from that much information. Then he was going to propose some countermeasures for this matter but Derotixa proposed something else and it completely shut him down.

"I'm going to ask Rein about this tomorrow. Then we don't need to worry about this matter anymore. Let's schedule a meeting now."

Seeing how happy his student looked Ludfrek was unable to say anything to stop her. He had also found Rein to be a good person. Mysterious but definitely a good person, so he decided to allow this meeting. They might even be able to get the answer from him easily.

After Rein became friends Xa, the status of his group immediately increased. Even before they were given a very good treatment as important guests but now as the family head's personal friend, they were given an even better treatment.

So the next day, all the members of the Rein's group were going to do what they were not allowed to do here before. Stella was going to visit the library and then she was also planning to take a look at the Alchemist workshop of this family.

Tasha on the other hand was going to be guided by one of the top class spy working for this family to see how their training was done.

After getting some Ninjas under her control Tasha was feeling like creating an organisation of spies to help her with minor problems and for that reason she was taking notes on how other organisations were training their spies.

Normally it would be impossible for Tasha to see such a big secret of the family. But Ludfrek allowed as he wanted to use this chance to see if she was super strong or not and that way he would be able to be sure that this beastkin girl was one of the three powerful people he was looking for.

Obviously Lauren would be busy with her work of making the buds bloom so she would not be able to enjoy any of the special service provided by the Okniser family for the time being.

As for Kagura, she said that she was going to stay in the room sleeping but actually she was obviously going to stay with Rein in his inventory.

But inside the inventory, Kagura was not planning to just slack off. She was working on a personal secret project which even Rein did not know about and the inventory was the best place to work on that project.

This was a place which only Kagura had access to because of her special situation where she was actually an item but she also had her own soul and a sense of self. So she was definitely going to take full advantage of this special situation.

Rein was going to have a meeting with his new friend Xa and he was also planning to spend the rest of the day seeing her work and helping her if possible.

Rein was planning to deepen their bonds of friendship with this action and Xa was also happy that she would get to spend some time with her friend.

All in all it looked like the schedule for all the members of the Rein's group was looking tight and as now Lauren had already completed her mission, they had no need to worry about anything could just take this time as an opportunity to have fun and enjoy a little vacation before jumping into deeper areas of the Deity's Resting Ground dungeon.
