With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 475 Elves Again (2)

?

There was an awkward silence that filled the air since neither side was able to say anything else in response to this.

Flora and the cloaked figure did seem desperate to enter the dungeon, but they weren't completely shameless.

With the commotion that they had caused, the attention of the people around them had been drawn. Now that Lin Fan had even shown up, they focused on this commotion even more.

After all, many people recognized Lin Fan as the city lord.

Not just the staff members, Yue Lan had also worked on getting the people of the Dungeon City to recognize Lin Fan as the city lord.

She had done this by plastering his face in many gathering places, building up his prestige that way. Whenever she sent out any kind of announcement from the City Lord Manor, she would make sure that Lin Fan's face would be sent with it so that people would learn the face of this city lord.

In short, she just forced his face down everyone's throats until they were sick of it.

But because of this, people couldn't help feeling curious about this city lord.

They could only see his pictures and never actually got to meet him in person.

Most of the duties that he should have taken care of were handled by Yue Lan and Ming Xin in his place.

Since he was so mysterious, there were many rumours that spread about him that made people very curious of him.

For this rare appearance, people naturally didn't want to miss seeing him.

But that made it harder for Lin Fan.

Even if he wanted to deescalate the situation, it was hard with all the attention that had been attracted to them.

So there was this awkward silence that followed until Flora finally said, "Is it possible that we can find a place to talk about this in private."

Lin Fan didn't respond right away, but after a bit of silence, he gave a nod.

Though he seemed stoic on the surface, he actually let out a sigh of relief that Flora was willing to ask this. This would allow him to deescalate the situation and move out of the sight of the public eye.

So Lin Fan turned to the clerk behind the counter and reached his hand out towards her.

The clerk seemed to already know what he was asking for, so she immediately handed the paperwork for the two of them over to him.

With this in hand, Lin Fan waved at the two cloaked figures to follow him.

The two of them looked at each other and after a bit of hesitation from the other cloaked figure, she allowed herself to be led away by Flora. Flora pulled her along as she followed behind Lin Fan.

Lin Fan had spent enough time here to know where the rooms for meetings were, so he didn't have a problem leading them there.

Once he was there, he sat down like he was in charge and gestured for Flora and the cloaked figure to sit down in front of him.

Flora sat down without any hesitation and even pulled off her hood when she saw that there was no one else here.

But the other cloaked figure hesitated a bit.

Finally, she sat down when Flora waved at her to sit down and she couldn't stop Flora as she pulled off her hood.

When her hood was pulled off, a face that was just as beautiful as Flora's was revealed. In fact, these two faces were very similar…it was just that this face was a bit younger looking compared to Flora.

There was no doubt that the two of them were related.

After taking off their cloak, I offered them some tea since this room was equipped with things to make tea with.

Only then did we get down to business.

Flora looked at me and asked, "Is there really no way for us to get access to the dungeon? We have something important to do there, so we need to be able to enter it."

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes when he heard this and he carefully looked at her.

After all, in the end, he was the dungeon master.

He was the one that would directly suffer if their business in the dungeon wasn't peaceful, so there was no way that he would allow them to enter if their business wasn't positive.

But of course, he couldn't conclude they were up to no good just based on what they had said so far.

So Lin Fan calmly said, "You know that it's against the rules and I can't make an exception without a good reason."

Flora's face sank when she heard this, but then it was as if she realized something and she looked back up at him.

She had heard him correctly, right?

He had just said "without a good reason", right?

Then did that mean that as long as she could give him a good reason, he would make an exception for her?

After realizing this, Flora's eyes lit up again.

She knew that she was right to put her trust in this man.

She didn't know what it was about him, but there was just something about him that made her trust him.

It was just like the trust that she felt towards her goddess…

After thinking about it for a bit, Flora said, "It's a matter of life and death. We need to go into the dungeon to retrieve an item that will save a person's life."

Lin Fan knitted his brows when he heard this.

As far as he knew, there wasn't such an item in the dungeon that could do that unless there was something about the dungeon that he didn't know. And the only thing in the dungeon that he didn't know that much about was…the dungeon core, Rokuko.

If they were planning on doing anything to her, then they would be considered his enemy.

So he released a bit of killing intent after hearing this and said, "You're saying that you need to retrieve something. Just what is it that you need to retrieve?"

Flora hesitated a bit before saying, "An elixir."

Lin Fan didn't draw back his killing intent as he said, "I've never heard of any elixirs being dropped in the dungeon and I've explored the entire dungeon. If you don't tell me exactly what you need, there is no way that I can approve this."

As he said this, Lin Fan even made the gesture of closing the folder as if he was already putting this case to a close.

This made Flora panic and she said, "Even if you haven't found it yet, that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist."

Lin Fan stopped closing the folder and looked at Flora with narrowed eyes as he said, "Then how do you know it exists?"

Flora's eyes quickly turned as if she was thinking about something before she finally said, "We have heard about cases like this happening in other dungeons, so we assumed that it was the same here. This is our only hope, so you have to at least let us try."

Lin Fan wasn't moved at all by this plea as he said, "Then you're free to try to find some in the other dungeons. It isn't as if this place is the only dungeon in the world."

Then once again, he made to close the folder as if he was about to end this.

Flora quickly said, "This is the only place that we can reach in a rush. You should know that there are no other dungeons on this entire continent."

Lin Fan just calmly said, "Then feel free to provide some kind of identification and we'll be happy to let you in."

Flora opened her mouth before closing it again.

Lin Fan then said in a firm voice, "We can't prioritize a single life over the lives of everyone else visiting the dungeon. Unless you actually give me a proper reason, I will not be able to let you in the dungeon."

The look on Flora's face made it clear that this was not the way that she thought that this would go.

On the other hand, the younger elf looked like she was about to explode while listening to everything.

Since Flora fell silent, the younger elf suddenly raised her hand and said, "If you don't want to get hurt, you will let us into the dungeon right now. Do you understand what I mean?"

As she said this, there was a blue energy that appeared around her hand.

When Lin Fan saw this, he didn't reveal a look of panic. He just calmly looked at her and said, "Is this really how you want to do this?"

The younger elf revealed a confident look as she said, "Well, what are you going to do about it?"

With a snort, Lin Fan released his aura to pressure the two of them.

When the two elves felt Lin Fan's aura on them, they couldn't help revealing shocked looks.

That was because they could sense that he was stronger than them.

When he had learned that she was an intermediate magician, Lin Fan had already had the Appraisal Eyes convert that into a cultivation level equivalent.

It turned out that the intermediate magician was only at the same level as a Foundation Realm Expert.

And the younger elf was only a low level intermediate magician…compared to Lin Fan who was in the Late Foundation Realm.

There was no way that she would actually be able to threaten Lin Fan with just this much power.
