Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 779 - 681: The Present and Rules

Once Kane finished dealing with recent matters in the office.

He disappeared from his original spot and entered the Guild Hall.

It was afternoon, and the members in the Guild Hall were somewhat sparse.

Because most of the Lantern Knight Order members were extremely busy.

As the most mobile and sufficiently powerful group in the territory's forces.

They had to shoulder more responsibilities, as the entire territory was severely lacking in a population able to do tasks.

So they should be dividing into batches now to escort those civilian teams who wanted to join Kane and the others.

These groups could be as small as dozens or as large as thousands.

When these groups entered the range of the surveillance monitors, they would actually dispatch some soldiers to escort them based on the feedback intelligence.

However, groups numbering in the thousands have only been seen twice in the past three months, and to ensure their safety, Kane had issued a commission within the guild, sending Explorer squads to accompany and escort them.

More commonly, there were numerous groups of dozens to hundreds that arrived daily from various regions.

Moreover, neighboring territories knew of their need for population, so they wouldn't trouble these individuals; the Knight Order mainly dealt with the countless Magic Beasts in the vicinity.

This had led Kane's territory to truly become a melting pot of different races, where even the humans, who should be the largest group in number, no longer made up the majority. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Humans accounted for approximately over 20% of the population in Kane's territory.

Even if the race wasn't humanoid, as long as they were intelligent races, Kane welcomed them.

As long as these races weren't like Cannibal Ghosts, who insisted on consuming intelligent life, they could seek a livelihood within Kane's territory.

Honestly, starting from scratch in the Lantern Territory didn't seem like much of an issue.

All industries lacked labor.

Kane dragged his somewhat weary body to Burton's bar.

Burton handed Kane a drink he preferred, speaking strangely: "What's going on? As the guild president and strongest member, why do you look so exhausted?"

Kane picked up the drink and finished it in one go, then let out a breath.

"Handling affairs is even more tiring than going into a Dungeon, luckily I only deal with it once a month; I've delegated most tasks to others. If I had to handle it daily, I'd feel like dying."

Burton, never having handled administrative affairs, couldn't quite understand Kane's exhaustion and simply shrugged to express his incomprehension.

At this moment, a sturdy male clad in a robe of alternating white and blue walked over, the most attention-grabbing feature was his gleaming bald head.

So shiny it was even reflecting the light from the guild ceiling.

He sat beside Kane: "President, long time no see, haven't seen you at all this month."

Observing the person next to him, Kane raised his glass, now refilled with alcohol, and toasted with him.

"This month, I've been focusing on research, hence mostly staying in the research room."

"Enough about me, how are you all doing now?"

Kane addressed this inquiry to the person in front of him.

This sturdy bald man was the captain of a squad within Kane Guild.

His squad was the team Amis recommended.

As the captain, he served as the healer in their squad, with healing capabilities only surpassed by Meizike in the guild, even stronger than Finaris.

Although Finaris had powerful Holy Light Magic, in terms of healing, he couldn't match him, and was more focused on support and vast area Enhancement add-ons.

Kane recalled that this individual's Origin Skills allowed him to see the pain points within a body with precision.

Meaning he could identify any harmful presence within a wisdom lifeform or even non-wisdom lifeforms.

With such Origin Skills combined with precise healing methods, in dealing with difficult and complicated illnesses, he might be even more effective than Meizike.

Upon hearing Kane's question, Tistek reached out his large hand and brushed his gleaming bald head.

"We've successfully infiltrated the coastal territory, and it shouldn't be long before we acquire some detailed intelligence from them."

Hearing Tistek's words, Kane nodded: "Be careful."

"Haha, rest assured, our strength is not weak, and our escape abilities are considerable too."

At this point, Kane didn't say much more; the two laughed and chatted for a while before Tistek vanished again, returning to the World Ring.

Most of the guild's Explorer squads, except for essential personnel, had scattered for exploratory activities.

Kane and the others were currently extending their focus outwards, divided into three layers.

The first tier was composed of geological surveying personnel established by Saqi.

These were Scouts selected from soldiers.

Excellent scouting capabilities, coupled with significant geological mapping skills.

They served as Kane's eyes in the outward exploration.

Limitations from aerial coverage, various Magic fluctuations, and airborne Magic Beasts.

A multitude of issues preventing Kane from swiftly surveying the surroundings using surveillance monitors.

Some larger forces could detect Kane's aerial monitoring devices.

Some were capable of shooting down Kane's monitors, while others had no choice but to shield certain critical locations with a form of blocking Magic against Kane's probes.
