Chapter 302: Chapter 300 – News Spreading.

‘There they go.’

A large group of people pushed towards the dungeon entrance as if there had never been a tier 3 monster there. Roland was looking at the people pushing each other out of the way in an almost frantic frenzy. Arthur and Aurdhan ran out of excuses to make the people wait. There was also the problem of many adventurers running out of money along with people in the city. No one could afford to let the dungeon sit there without adventurers in it. The whole city depended on the materials coming from it.

‘At least they won’t allow everyone to enter into the lower levels, for now, this will keep the city afloat and give us more time. But it won’t take long for people to find out…’

His gaze was drawn to a dwarf that he remembered. It was Wedamir the party member that he encountered along with Armand during the Lich crisis. He was the one that probably spilled the beans about the hidden mining area. Together with him, he could see many other dwarves, one, in particular, was the Enchantsmith belonging to the union. If he was there, then they were probably attempting to find the hidden entrance. Considering that Roland found the entrance as a Runesmith, bringing an Enchantsmith along wasn’t a bad idea.

‘I’m not sure about Enchantsmith… he shouldn’t be able to get through he runes but the class isn’t that much different, if he can actually see the traces of the runes will be enough for them to figure it out.’

While the dwarf there would probably not be able to open up the runic passages, he might be able to pinpoint where they were. Afterward, it would be as simple as bringing a proper runesmith over to do the work for them. It wouldn’t be strange for them to have already called for backup from their union headquarters branch. One such existed in the main city on this large volcanic island.

‘They might even have other means of getting in there that I’m not aware of… I can’t rule out that possibility.’

Roland turned away from the swarm of people entering the dungeon as he had just come out of it a few hours ago. The day that he had to give up the mine was something he had come to terms with. His plan was to turn it over to the authorities after reaching tier 3 but he wasn’t that far off now. There was still some time left for his grind, before the announcement was made official he had some more time.

‘Things are going to get bothersome from now on but I need to continue, it will become a lot harder after other tier 3 adventurers come to the city.’

At the time the most danger found in the dungeon were the tier 3 skeletons. However, without being able to pass through the opening he created, killing them was rather easy. This would change after people capable of slaying them started arriving in the city. The monsters inside the dungeon were easy to predict, this wasn’t the same for actual people who could stab him in the back.

When they formed a group of tier 3 adventurers the danger became very real. At the time being, he was a big fish in a small pond but soon things might change. Before this city was overrun by these powerful individuals he needed to become one of them, it was something required for his own survival. It wasn’t strange for people to vanish from dungeons, it was quite common. He had first-hand experience with this as he had left the fencer to be absorbed by the dungeon all those years ago. It was the perfect spot to clear out old grudges.
