Chapter 78 - News Spread Too Quickly In The Guild

"You found an unex- hmph!"

"SSH! DON'T BE TOO LOUD! IT WILL MAKE RUCKUS HERE!"

"You're way louder than her!"

We report our finding to the guild receptionist as soon as we got back to the city, and she almost tell everyone in the guild about it. So I have to cover her mouth with my hand and told her to be quiet. But I was louder than her so Angela yelled at me.

"I apologize for my manner. Please come to the guild master room. This information is too much too handle for me alone."

"Understood."

The receptionist told us to follow her to the guild master room because this is an important matter that can't be handled poorly.

Telling the guild that there's an unexplored area in a dungeon that has been found for over a hundred years is too much of a surprise.

The dungeon we explored has been discovered for a long time. And since the path inside is obvious, it was named Linear Dungeon. Because there's only one path to take. Whether you enter or exit, it's the only path that exist.

Then one day, a group consisting of an extremely handsome man surrounded by beauties suddenly reported that there are many paths in the ceiling leading to treasures.

We followed the receptionist to the guild master's room and tell the guild master about our finding.

"So those holes in the ceiling actually led a way to treasures? How did you enter it? We already know about those holes for a long time, but only thought that those holes are for slimes to spawn. How did you enter it? Unless you can fly."

"We didn't fly. My summon is also a special type of slime that can transform into any object. I let it climb the hole and transform into a rope. Then we climb it like normal."

"Is that so? Can you show me your summon?"

"Okay."

Victoria eight now is no longer in her human form. She's a grappling hook attached to my right arm just like usual.

I showed the guild master my right arm and let Victoria transform into a blob of slime.

"This is interesting. A shape-shifting slime. First time I've seen it."

The guild master of Cassau guild amazed to see Victoria. Meanwhile Ellen looked confused why I didn't tell the guild master that I can stuck on the wall and ceiling.

Maybe after she thought to herself that it was impossible to make him believe it until he sees it for himself, she keep her mouth shut. Or maybe she thinks I want to keep my ability as secret.

"Thanks for your information. But if this report spread to the hunters, the number of hunters who want to enter the dungeon will skyrocket. Even if it's difficult to climb it, there will be many hunters who want to give it a try."

"That's not my problem. Can we leave now?"

"Oh, right. Sorry for holding you this long. But the guild will soon give request to the hunters about the dungeon's unexplored area so if possible, we would like to hire your party. And there might be a name change from Linear Dungeon to another name."

"Just change it to Non-Linear Dungeon. As for your request, I'm going to the capital the soon so I can't participate. Ellen said she wants to tell her party to go. Just ask her."

I can't go because I'm going to have a meeting with the king. And when I said a meeting, it means sneaking into his bedroom and have a private chat.

"Alright. Ellen, your party will try to conquer this dungeon?"

"Yes. My party and Kayla here will try to conquer it. But we need fit the conditions that Kayla put before we enter it."

What she means by conditions is that they need to learn magic control into a passable level according to Kayla. Because of the narrow area, it will be difficult to conquer it if Ellen's party only know how to use powerful spell. It will only hurt themselves if they use powerful spell. And they have to make sure Kayla is safe even at the cost of their lives.

"What condition… I guess it's something personal. I won't ask any further. But if you take too long before you enter the dungeon, I will inform all the hunters here about the dungeon."

"That's fine. After all there's an S-rank hunter in my party. No matter who tried to compete with us, we won't back down!"

"Okay. I'll give you two weeks before I inform the hunters about this."

"I think you don't need to care about that."

I interrupted their conversation.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that receptionist lady over there has told another receptionist about this before we get here. Although I already shut her mouth before, the gossipy nature of hers is too much to handle. I believe the one she spokes to have already told some hunters about this."

"What?!"

The guild master then looked at the receptionist who enters the room with us.

"Do you know what you have done?! You will make that dungeon cramped with greedy hunters! There will be fight over treasures because you can't handle it in proper manner!"

"I'm sorry!"

"You... there's a Cyclops inside that hole! If inexperienced hunters enter it, although it's difficult, there will be some that can climb the holes. And because of those small holes, it will be difficult for those hunters to escape once they enter. They will be prey to Cyclops and who knows what other type of monsters there!"

"If we're done here then I'll leave, okay? Bye!"

Feeling that there won't be any need of me staying here any longer, I decided to leave.

"Ah! Thank you for reporting! We will reward you for this findings. But we need some time to think of a proper reward. We will give you the reward after I inform the guild HQ about this."

"I'm going to the capital soon. So if I haven't returned yet, just give the reward to any of my party members."

"Understood. Thank you very much."

All of us left the guild master room leaving only the guild master and the receptionist inside.

On the way to the exit, I can see many hunters looking at us. Seems like there are too many gossipy receptionists in this guild.

As we were about to leave, one man blocked the exit.

"Hey, are you the one who find the unexplored area in Linear Dungeon?"

"Nope. Wrong person."

"Oh? Okay. Sorry."

"It's fine. No problem"

"He's lying! He's the one who told Serena!"

"One thing for sure is that the receptionists in this guild will be punished by the guild master for spreading unconfirmed rumor."

"Hiiii!"

One of the receptionists suddenly shout out that I'm lying. How unprofessional of them. And that Serena I guess is the one who is being reprimanded right now in the guild master room.

"So you're lying! How dare you!"

"I'm not lying! Those area has been found a long time ago but no one tried to enter them before except me and my party."

"Oh I see. So you're not lying."

He's so gullible! I wonder if Daniel grows up, he will be like this man here. I hope that won't be the case.

And I can't hate people with this personality. I guess I need to give him some advice.

"Listen here. The unexplored area is filled with monsters stronger than orcs. If you value your life, please listen to the guild master's pointer before you enter it. Otherwise, it's just a suicide mission."

"Okay. You're a kind man."

"Thank you. I know I am, but listening to other people saying it to me feels good."

"I know. When someone praise me, I also feel good."

"Alright, I'm leaving. Goodbye!"

"Bye-bye!"

I found a new friend today!

Wait! I don't know his name yet! Does that count as a friend?

Anyway, I hope nothing happens to him. He's such an interesting guy.

"Then I'll also take my leave. I have to report this to my party. Kayla, I'll contact you tomorrow."

"Okay. See you tomorrow!"

Ellen also leave her own way to tell her party members about the dungeon. Now she has to compete with many other hunters over the treasures.

"ELLEEEN! HELLOOOO!"

As she leaves, I heard a familiar voice calling out to her. I used my Divine Vision to look at her without turning my head back. Then I see a familiar face.

She's the loud girl from before! And she's louder than back then when she asked for help!

I guess her being here means that she's safe. And her village should be safe because I gave her some hints. But I don't want to get involved with her. Not with how loud she is. So I walked away without looking at her while the girls are looking at her curiously.

She seems to know Ellen. Maybe it was Ellen's party that helped her before. Good for her.

But if she's here, there's a chance that we will meet again. I don't know if my eardrums can handle her or not. That's why I choose to leave without greeting her. I don't even know her name so I guess we're just stranger.

Before we reach the inn, Victoria spoke to me.

"Roy. Before we return to the inn, let's buy some charms to exorcise ghosts."

"Huh? Aren't you also a ghost? If we think about it, you have died a long time ago. Then you become a ghost that possessed Blobby."

"No I'm not! I'm reincarnated!"

"How can you tell?"

"I can't! I just don't want to be a ghost!"

What a difficult partner I have…
