Rebirth of the Strongest Dungeon Master-Chapter 137 Negotiation
Isaac smiled from behind the mask. His words were beyond Zhang Gang's expectation.
"I told you, Mr. Zhang Gang. Everything will be fine," said Adelia.
However, Zhang Gang remained silent. It took time for the man to digest the situation.
"Can we sit down? So that we can talk comfortably?"
The Blood Oath leader gasped. "Oh, alright. Of course."
Still with cold sweat on his face, Zhang Gang sat down with hesitation.
Isaac could read the man's mind. So he gave him time.
It was quiet in the room for a while. None of them spoke. The guest still looked doubtful. He glanced at Isaac and Adelia for several times, trying to ascertain whether this was a trap or not.
Zhang Gang cleared his throat, a sign that he was ready to start the conversation.
Isaac grinned from behind the mask.
"Lord Caasi, before, I apologize for my impoliteness. Honestly, this is beyond my expectations. I still find it hard to believe."
"It's okay. There are many things in this world that we don't understand. I guess this is normal."
Zhang Gang nodded. "Then, what does the dungeon master want from me?"
Isaac changed his posture. He was getting serious. He gave Adelia the code, the high elf quickly understood.
"I want you to be my soldier."
Zhang Gang squinted. "What?" Once again, he was taken aback.
Isaac glanced at Adelia, giving her the code. The high elf understood quickly.
"Please let me explain," she said.
Then the elven woman began to tell the details.
In becoming the dungeon master's army, Zhang Gang and his men only needed to do two tasks.
The first task was to keep the dungeon safe.
The main problem of every dungeon master that was difficult to solve from now on was the leecher. No matter how much they were eradicated, people like them would keep appear. They are like weeds that cannot be eradicated. Their existence blends in with ordinary hunters, making them difficult to detect. Beside, there are no special features in the dungeon system to detect leechers.
They could only be searched for manually.
Therefore, Isaac needed a special force to keep the dungeon safe from these parasites. A kind of police that discourages criminals from committing crime.
He saw that the Blood Oath had its own appeal. They had a big name and a respected leader figure. Of course they would be feared by petty leecher.
"What do you think, Mr. Zhang Gang?" asked Adelia confirming. The woman smiled like a fox.
While the middle-aged man stroked his chin. "I can do it. This is easy. Inside the dungeon the law doesn't apply. I can take care of it. Besides, I hate them too."
Isaac smiled from behind his mask. He got the desired response. His eyeballs rolled towards Adelia, giving the woman the green light code.
The high elf continued.
The second task that the Blood Oath Guild had to carry out was to raid another dungeon.
Their task was not to hunt monsters or try to conquer the dungeon. Rather, it was to gather as much information as possible. They must made a map of the terrain, recorded monsters, and calculated the entry pattern in the dungeon.
There were more than a hundred dungeons in this world. He had information about them in his past life, but it was limited to rumors and some dungeons in East Asia. As for the European and American regions, he still lacked information.
He wanted the Blood Oath Guild to focus its raid on regional dungeons outside of China, such as the Golden Dragon. Since the dungeon wass a global-level disaster, guilds could quite easily gain access to other countries. But it still depended on the policies of the country in question.
Of course, raiding across countries was not an easy thing. Moreover, they needed high credibility and combat power. Therefore, they would be given full resources from Isaac.
"Wow, wow. Wait a moment."
Zhang Gang raised both hands while pursing his lips. There were some explanations that he still couldn't understand.
"I understand giving us resources. I mean no offense, but the human world is more complex than you think. You also need large money. You need funds to finance our various operations later. Moreover, when it comes to complicated problems that need to be solved with 'money'."
Hearing the middle-aged man's concern, Isaac chuckled. Adelia was still smiling broadly, although it was obvious that she was holding back her laughter.
Of course, this made Zhang Gang frown. As if he had just said something stupid.
The high elf spoke. "You don't need to worry about that, Mr. Zhang Gang."
Adelia walked to her desk, then returned with a seemingly heavy bag. She placed the pouch on the table.
The man became curious.
"Open it," said Adelia.
Zhang Gang looked at the high elf with narrowed eyes. He was suspicious of the contents of the pouch, but Adelia seemed to be smiling. This made his feelings unclear.
With hesitation, the middle-aged man opened the contents of the pouch. Purple light hit his face. Instantly his eyes opened wide.
"T-this is it?" Zhang Gang was left open-mouthed.
"Power Crystal. It weighs 1 kilogram. If I'm not mistaken, the price has risen to 1.5 RMB per kilo. Our visitor told us many things," said Adelia.
Zhang Gang gulped. Never had he held this many Power Crystals before. It would take him at least a few months to collect them, and even then he would have to mobilize all his men.
Unconsciously, the middle-aged man's lips smirked. Greed began to rise on his face.
Adelia leaned in. "You can keep it. Think of it as our first gift."
Zhang Gang looked at Adelia with a look of disbelief on his face. "Really?"
The golden-haired female elf smiled as she nodded.
"We know that you humans came all the way here to look for that thing. By the way, it's not even a tenth of the funds we'll give you later. We can negotiate the funds you want."
Adelia's words did not go unheard by Zhang Gang. He just nodded and his eyes were glued to the contents of the bag. He closed the bag and placed it on the table.
Zhang Gang took a deep breath and closed his eyes, trying to clear his mind.
It was quiet again for a long time.
The middle-aged man opened his eyes. He had a serious look on his face.
"Honestly, this is an interesting offer. It's almost impossible for me to refuse."
Isaac raised one of his eyebrows when he heard the word 'almost' from Zhang Gang's mouth. Adelia also squinted her eyes.
They heard the tone of doubt from the Blood Oath frontman.
"But, honestly," Zhang Gang continued. "There are some things I don't understand. Why do you want me to attack other dungeons? As if they are your enemies. Besides, what exactly are you guys coming to Earth for?"
Adelia was silent. She couldn't answer that question. The elven woman glanced at her master who seemed to be staring at Zhang Gang seriously.
Isaac then said.
"We have come to exterminate all of you. The entire human race."
"Wh-what?"
Instantly, Zhang Gang's face turned pale. The man was completely confused. He didn't know what to respond.
"But I didn't," Isaac continued. "I have no intention of wiping you out."
Naturally, the human didn't believe him.
"Then why did you invade Vladistosvok? Why did you kill every human who entered your dungeon? Why did you attack our settlement? We can talk." 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶
Isaac laughed sarcastically. "You think after you attacked us, I should be allowed to retaliate? After you broke into our dungeon and dredged up our resources, we're just going to stay put? I didn't attack you when the entire dungeon mobilized their monsters to slaughter you all. I only attacked when my home was attacked."
Zhang Gang immediately fell silent. What Isaac said was a fact. His dungeon did not attack when the first dungeon break occurred. Isaac only attacked when his dungeon was attacked by North Korea.
The man couldn't argue with his words.
Besides, only dungeons on the border of the tripoint that provided services. Zhang Gang would never find an elven village or a dwarven iron forge in other dungeons.
"I see potential in human. The will to fight, create a family, and survive. A great civilization. You have not yet reached your peak. You have yet to develop. I want to see that. I want us to live side by side. I am a pacifist, but I don't stay silent when someone attacks me."
Zhang Gang lowered his head and his gaze was fixed on the ground. He was considering Isaac's offer.
Not long after, that man looked at Isaac.
"Alright. I accept your offer. From now onwards, the Blood Oath will protect this dungeon."
