After lunch, I said I would head over to the guild for a little bit. Alice was against it (as always), but I told her that we ’t train anyway so she might as well rest. And she won’t need me for that.

  The guild wasn’t that busy yet. I think I arrived a little before the adventurers returned from outside.

  “Brian, I help you?” Zayaan’s girlfriend asked me. Girlfriend? Or perhaps they are already engaged? I don’t see a ring on her. Actually, wouldn’t it be a bracelet with a magic stone? Well don’t see one of those either.

  “I’m looking for Lucia.” I told her. “Do you know where she is?”

  “I believe she has already gone home for the day. She told us she had a project she is doing there.”

  “I see. Thank you.”

  “Are you going to head over to their house?”

  “Yes. Lua said she wants to travel with me norime Rib is breaking up. She is making us a travel pn and I want to discuss it with her.”

  “I see. It will be a shame to lose her. Zay will have to work hard to find someone as skilled as her.”

  “That he will.” I agreed.

  “Also, some of the adventurers have told me to ask you to help them train again. Would that be possible?” The receptionist asked.

  “Probably not. I have pns today. And I’ll be going to the dungeon for the few days.” I responded.

  “That’s a shame.” She said to me.

  I guess I could give Zay a card that summons something like a sword master before I leave and he could use that. If I give it to him in a toploader, he could use it up to 3 or 4 times a day. Probably just 3.

  Perhaps I could also give something like Ultimate Obedient Fiend to either Zay or Brandon to act as a defense against the lesser behemoth. It's not like I really anymore as I got the Master of Oz. Even if Ultimate Obedient Fiend ’t solo something like a lesser behemoth, it should be able to hold it off for a little while. And the adventurers use that opportunity to pound it with attacks.

  I made it to the Prime Rib team house. Thanks to Laura, I khe way.

  I knocked on the door.

  “Oh, Brian. Hi.” Alex said as he opehe door.

  “Hi Alex. Is Lua here?” I asked.

  “Yes. We are w oravel pn. Please, e in.” Alex weled me inside.

  I followed Alex ihe house. I saw Lua sitting at the table.

  “Hi Brian. So you came here.” Lua greeted me.

  “Yeah. I went to the guild and asked where you were. I was told you had headed home already so I came over.” I told her.

  “I see. Well, we really haven’t gotten far. We thought our first stop should be Sawyer city. My mum lives there and she has a better idea about the dhampir safe towns. I only know the rge ones.” She told me.

  “Well we always make up a pn on the fly.” I reminded her. “Isn’t freedom one of the biggest advantages of adventuring?”

  “We’ll still need money for everything.” She reminded me.

  “Well I pay for most things. I got a det sum of money when I sold some things from the dungeon.” I told her.

  “No amount of money will st forever.” Alex ented.

  “Perhaps not, but at least we get started without having to worry about running out.” I said. “Actually, I still haven’t received the money for the wyvern sales from the guild. And Lex said they would reward me for the rescue operation as well.”

  “Well that will be quite the sum.” Alex said.

  “Well at least we get somewhere before we o look at guild jobs. But how will we travel? Should we hire a carriage?” Lua asked.

  “If it was just the two of us, we could use Gradius.” I told Lua. “But we could use Overdrive.”

  “What were those again?” Lua firmed.

  “You’ve never seen Gradius, but it’s basically a flying golem. And Overdrive is that meical carriage that I used back when we dealt with the wyverns.” I told her.

  “’t we just travel with that carriage thing then?” Alex asked.

  “Well I only keep it summoned for so long and it’s not super fortable.” I answered. “We could always use my dragons, but that will cause panic.”

  “The dragons are no good.” Lua ented. “We should only use them in an emergency.”

  “While I don’t really like it, I have to agree. They just cause too much panic.” I responded. “I also have some other things like The Trojan Horse.”

  “NO!” Lua yelled. “I never want to ride that thing again.”

  “I have to agree. It was terrible.” Alex added.

  … was it really that bad? Well, I could always try to get a sed and perhaps even third Overdrive and put them all in toploaders. That way I just alterhem on cooldown. Then just get some det pillows or something to make the seats just a bit better. Or perhaps Mae version Factory could improve its suspension. But I think I’ve been sacrifig them for sleeves. Well, I’ll end up opening more LoBY at some point anyway. Unless my luck with getting the ons I need follows me to that set as well.

  “Because of that, I’ll be out of town for the few days.” I told the two of them about my trip to the dungeon with Christina.

  “And then we will leave after that, right?” Alex firmed.

  “That’s the pn.”

  “We’ll get everything prepared on our end at that time then.” Lua told me.

  “That sounds good.”

  After a bit more discussion about our preparations, I left their house.

  The rest of the day was … basic. I talked a bit with Christina about when we were going to leave and who would e with us. She decided to take two maids with us, so there were going to be four of us going to the dungeon. I told her that I would take care of the transport with Overdrive. I’ll just pull for a sed oomorrow, just in case.

  With the pn made, dinen and Alice …. well dealt with, so she wouldn’t be ing with us, I was off to bed.
