Chapter 314 Iminent danger (9)

"So this is the most difficult dungeon of the state…" Sarah said while they were heading toward the entrance of the dungeon. "I know that you are planning to clear this to become its guild master, but I think that you shouldn't challenge the guardian alone."

"I probably won't… However, it will probably take one to two weeks to reach the final room and to take my wives from our kids for this long… Is something that I can't do," Billy said. "While I am their father, for the time being, they don't need me much... it hurts to say that."

"Asking Alexander and Lily for help when they have Lara will also be difficult, huh," Sarah said. "I suppose it is up to us to clear this place."

"I am not sure I can reach the final room before you guys begin to work again," Billy said. "Besides, can you afford to stop your order for more than one week?"

"It is fine, I already helped a lot of people from my tribe, and they can do the same thing for others that are where they once were."

Once they left the dungeon and sold the materials, Billy resumed the construction of his tunnel. Sarah gave him a hand, but she could barely dig five hundred meters while Billy could do twenty times more than that. It was the difference in the level of their Earth Manipulation and the extra mana that Billy had in store. While he had explained to his friends about how he was stocking mana on his back, few of them could do the same since their spiritual core wasn't on the same level. It would take a while for them to gain as much mana as Billy's…

Despite the help, when Billy arrived at home, the sun had already set. Thanks to the dungeon and the tunnels, his work was getting longer and longer. Billy was getting annoyed to the point that he was considering drowning all the monsters inside just so that he could have more time with his wives and kids.

"Sarah, do you want to join us for dinner?" Kate asked when she saw them returning.

"Thanks, but I will have to refuse," Sarah replied. "I have some things to do. Good evening."

Sarah looked to be in a hurry very suddenly. It was weird, given that she was getting along with everyone in the last few years. Was she being considerate of the free time that Billy loved so much?

"You two look fine, but you are late," Natalie said while frowning.

"The deeper we go inside the dungeon, the more time we take to return," Billy said and then tried to hug Hector, but then he began to cry for being taken from his mother's arms. "Why do you hate daddy so much? Daddy is sad, Hector."

"I suppose everything is still fine if you act like this…" Kate said and then sighed.

Billy felt like he had become a corporate slave leaving as soon as he finished breakfast to work and only returning after sunset. He had read some reincarnation stories, and none of those had the protagonists living that kind of life. Instead of that, they were moving around catching members for their harem like pokemon and defeating their enemies with ease. Very different from Billy, who had a hard time against Jeannette. Regardless, the next day, Jean paid a visit when they were having breakfast for a change. It was rare for him to show up so early in the morning.

"My apologies for disturbing you so early in the morning, but I didn't have any other choice since you leave so early."

"No problem," Billy said. "I assume you want to hear my thoughts on the dungeon, right?"

"Yes, Paule was supposed to keep me informed, but since you can move around faster than our ravens…" Jean said.

Billy wondered if he could put some kind of system on his tunnels to make letters be sent faster. While that would be useful, it would be a lot faster for him just go to the places he wanted to gather Intel. Besides, for such a system to work, he would need to give access to his tunnels to too many people. In any case, Billy explained to Jean how things proceeded in the dungeon.

"I see the spawning rate decreased on the first floor, but since we left the others alone, it still is pretty fast," Jean said and then sighed while massaging his forehead. "We fought to have control over that dungeon and lost many people thinking that it would help out the economy, but I never imagined it would cause so many problems and be such a dangerous thing to have around."

"I suppose dungeons are two-edged blades, but this one is sharper than the others for whatever reason," Billy said. "The people of this state aren't ready to face creatures of that level so often. With the magic that the others have been teaching, it won't be enough to keep things in check."

"I agree, relying on a single group to do that would be way too unreasonable," Jean said. "Still, we will need time to think of better alternatives."

"I have one, recently, I was messing with my crossbow, and then I learned how to and some effects to that kind of weapon," Billy said. "However, it is a troublesome and time-consuming process. However, by using such a weapon, everyone will be able to stop and kill the monsters of that dungeon. It will cost them some money, though."

"I think that will be fine. Jean said that the adventurers that reached the highest floors were willing to go to any length to clear that dungeon," Jean said. "Tell me more about this plan of yours."

While Billy told some lies, it was unavoidable since he had no interest in mass-producing his weapons for money. He wasn't in need of money, and he didn't need the worry of too many people having his weapons.
