Number One Dungeon Supplier-Novel



As the new members had been inducted into the Grey Bear Squad, Click did her usual scanning of the area with the aid of Old Fammet's equipment. "Still no sign of a counterattack, could the warning by Nie be fake?"

"No way. those pirates would not take any chances when it comes to reclaiming their 'honour'. They will come in hard and use this excuse to take over Mount Sunn and Old Fammet's workshop." Nie commented. "Also, I heard from my security buddies that there were some movements in town. Especially the shopping district. Somebody is buying up everything, temporarily making the stores out of stock." 

"Wait, wait. I am more concerned about your previous remark. You mean this piece of land had yet to be taken by anyone? Shouldn't it be under the jurisdiction of Town Gorgo?" 

"Heh, this current patch of land does not have anyone because there is a dungeon right below Mount Sunn even though it's dormant at the moment." 

"Yeah, those were the days where people usually come right to the Workshop wanting to test some stuff out, so I send them down to the dungeon to clear it." Old Fammet reminisced. 

"Please, you even asked us, the apprentices to go down into the dungeon to collect the remnants of those who were killed just because you want those materials." 

"Heh. The dungeon had been cleared so many times of course it will turn into a variant dungeon. Still do not regret it since there had been some good stuff even on the first floor."  Old Fammet said as he vaguely explained that was how he was able to get all those defences around his workshop to be in optimal condition despite the ban on materials.  The Mecha Smith stated that he had been making makeshift Mechanoids to kill monsters on the first floor so that they could get materials for Old Fammet to work on. 

"Captain, are you thinking what I am thinking," Yinn said as she looked at Jin with anticipation. The rest of the older Grey Bear members also knew about Jin's situation and started smirking, leaving the new members confused.

"Jin had been awarded a noble title for his deed rescuing a child of the Archduke. Most of the details on how he achieved such gratitude from the Archduke had remained hidden from us. In any case, he was supposed to be granted land with a dungeon in it." Yinn told them about the development.

"Ah...okay. Well, I do not mind for Jin to be the Lord of Mount Sunn. Sounds like a decent way of going forward." Old Fammet nodded his head happily.

"Not just that, considering the ramifications of the counterattack by the private cooperations, if Jin can be awarded the title of Lord to this particular piece of land, they have no reason to bother him anymore. In fact, he could receive compensation." Page enlightened them.

"How do you even know?" Jin asked and the old Grey Bears grinned.

"Page might be our medic and fellow soldier but she had been programmed to deal with legal issues too," Tellie explained.

"Considering how that old Jin of ours is an asshole and always falls into stupid traps, he had the decency to buy a Mechanoid with a legal database as part of his squad," Diaz remarked.

"Ah... so when shit hits the fan..." Jin get where Page's knowledge had been useful.

"That is why Page was considered not just a medic for literal war terms." Click tapped Page's shoulders and gave a thumbs up. "She is our medic when it comes to recovering the squad from serious legal consequences." 

"Alright, then Page, go search on everything you can to squeeze the private corpos dry. I will contact Raymond and Dyke to see if they can bestow me a title for this piece of land." Jin said as he immediately gave Raymond a call and explained to him.

"Sire is currently busy but I see no qualms for you to do that. Mount Sunn is indeed without a lord because of an infamous smith squatting in there." Raymond said and in the background, Old Fammet had been silenced by Nie and the rest of the War Maidens.

"If you managed to get his consent-"

"Here is it. He gave physical proof of consent, allowing me to take over his workshop." Jin said as he showed a partial contract that Old Fammet had signed for  Jin.

"...Did you kill him to get that." Raymond queried in a hushed voice.The source of this ᴄontent is (f)ire

"No. He gladly joined up with me. Do I need a contract with you when I killed you?" Jin asked and Raymond kept quiet for a moment as he cleared his throat. 

"Regardless, it will take a few weeks for the paperwork to be processed even if Sire broke protocol and passed forward the application for your lordship." Raymond wanted to let Jin know that he would get the job done.

"I have some time on my side but not sure how much. It would be better if you get it done as soon as possible." 

"What do you mean?" 

"If you know about that infamous smith, you probably know who is guarding that guy." 

"Oh... I totally slip that off my mind. I see. Hmm. I will do what I can but certain processes are still guarded by the *ahem* and the earliest I can promise you would be within the week." Raymond said and the Tactical System affirmed Jin that he was not lying. That was honestly their best estimate since there were certain reviews that needed to be done through the Synthesis Database even though it had the approval of the Archduke.

"Alright. I believe I can survive for a week." Jin said as he thanked Raymond and closed the communication channel. He let out a deep sigh before breathing in. 

"Everyone. We have lots to do." Jin said as he rolled his sleeves up and looked at everyone who seemed motivated and raring to go. "But first, let's take a look at the dungeon that Old Fammet talked about."
