When Elise heard these words, a swallow was heard in the room.There were many reasons why Desmond chose Elise.One was that the building where Elise was located, the one immediately to the left of the business premises, was for sale. The two buildings, which were partially connected, could further enhance the guild's security and concealment capabilities.The second reason was Elise's reliability.The bonuses Desmond had given her, the extra money he had paid for each item of clothing he bought, and even all the investments he had made had never been stolen. Elise had distributed everything equally, used all the investments for the business, and had not used a single gold coin for herself.Elise was a trustworthy woman.The third reason was that Elise was a beautiful but genuinely simple woman. She was someone who could be hidden in plain sight yet clearly stand out within the Guild, a woman whose identity was barely discernible.The fourth reason was that Elise was already devoted t

Desmond instantly found himself on the first floor. He was inside a cave. It was a cave with patterned walls, sharp stones on the ceiling, numerous rustling sounds all around, and a strong smell of blood.To be perfectly honest, he had never encountered such a feeling and such a heavy smell before. This was truly a new experience.After pulling himself together, he immediately reached for his inventory. He quickly pulled out a sword he had acquired from the system, one that was powerful yet inexpensive, capable of channelling magic exceptionally well, and began to carefully make his way through the dungeon.He had hunted animals before, but that had been on the surface, and those animals were not magical. Now, he wanted to hunt not just an animal, but a magical beast, or even more than one.He began to advance with slow, careful steps, and with each step he took, those muffled growls became more vivid.Desmond began to grip the sword in his hand even tighter, and although his heart wa

When he returned to the dungeon area, Desmond noticed that there were at least twice as many students here today as there had been yesterday.All eyes were fixed on him because of yesterday's incident, but he paid no attention and entered the dungeon as if nothing had happened, choosing the first floor again.He could have tried to obtain a dungeon map, but frankly, he knew that no matter how much time passed, he would not leave here without clearing at least the first floor.So there was no need for him to turn back to the pillar.As he began to advance into the large dungeon, he managed to hear the same faint wheezing sounds as yesterday.Hearing the wheezes one after another, he naturally drew the sword from his inventory and, this time, to avoid the danger he had faced yesterday, donned at least one of the light leather armour pieces to cover his chest.He could have worn heavier armour, but he was primarily a wizard. He hadn't even attempted to pursue training in cultivation.The

When the enormous fire rune formed just below the ice wolf, Desmond had moved as far away as possible and then snapped his fingers, shouting, "Activate!"With that, the enormous rune glowed and, in just seconds, a pillar of fire had enveloped the ice wolf:"RUUUUUUHHHA!!!"A strange screech began to emerge from within the pillar of fire, but a boss monster would not fall so easily.As if nothing had happened, a large ice spell, which began to seriously lower the temperature in the room, first surrounded the pillar of fire, then Desmond's spell.The room's temperature began to drop rapidly, and even Desmond himself felt the cold to the bone.Still, that certainly didn't mean he was going to die here.He didn't hesitate for even a second. Instantly, without fear, he lunged towards the ice wolf and unleashed the presence of the jet-black fire on his sword as much as possible.The sword began to glow as if it were fire itself.Desmond used the boost spell again and, channelling nearly 40%

Mycroft immediately shut his mouth when he saw Desmond looking at Lisa. Lisa noticed this and looked at Desmond."What are you thinking?" Desmond asked with great curiosity."I think what Mycroft said makes sense. If possible, we could set up a system where they could pass through the buildings' sewage areas in a closed manner, my lord. It would be possible to build a [spider channel] under the buildings," said Lisa.Desmond frowned and asked, "A spider channel?""It's a technique used since ancient times, sir. It's a system that allows many areas to be connected like a spider's web and enables communication to spread widely. Although it's a technique used between kingdoms and even empires. It would be possible to do this underground, connecting one or two neighbourhoods," Lisa replied.Desmond nodded his head up and down. He was thinking."It will be very obvious. We will be stating outright that we are doing something secret," said Desmond."If we deliberately revive the areas we ar
