Chapter 68: Ch 68: Reaching the City and Entering the New Dungeon
Deity's Resting Ground's entrance was located just a few kilometres away from the city of Kentau. After sending Hikari to Leonora, the conquerors finally entered the city of Kentau.
Then they went straight to the adventure guild to gather some general information about the city and the powers residing here.
This city was located close to an extremely powerful dungeon so one would assume this place to have quite a few powerful adventurers but actually that was not the case. The strongest people present here were only mithril rankers and among them some were getting on in years.
This city had quite a few rich merchants living here though as the dungeon was a very good supplier of rare products.
The reason behind this situation was the dungeon itself. The Deity's Resting Ground was a very unbalanced dungeon. It only had a single massive floor but that floor was divided into several areas. Each area had a different atmosphere and condition.
The power of the monsters living in an area also greatly varied.
The easiest areas of this dungeon only had 7th or 8th rank monsters as the strongest. The area with mid level difficulty had rank 4 and rank 3 monsters as the strongest. And for the known area with the hardest difficulty had only transcendental monsters inside.
So gold ranks or adamantine and orichalcum ranks had nothing to do in this dungeon. As a person with transcendental powers was extremely rare and no one with that kind of power was currently living in this region. That was the reason why the mithril rank was the highest power present in this city.
There were a total of 3 active mithril rank adventurer teams present in this city. Other than them a retired mithril rank team was also staying in this city permanently.
Only having a single mithril ranker in the team was enough for it to be called a mithril rank team, so currently the conquerors were also a mithril rank team.
Other than the adventurers, there were a few more mithril rankers living here. In total including Rein this city currently had 6 active Mithril rankers and 4 retired ones. This was actually a very impressive line up specially for a city of this size.
Now that another Mithril rank team was in the city, the power balance was going to change. The influential people of this city were always trying to get in the good book of a Mithril ranker, so it was evident that Rein was going to get quite a few bootlickers buzzing around him.
When Rein found this information, he immediately decided to hit the dungeon without waiting for these people to gather around him. They had absolutely no value to Rein and he was not interested in joining in any kind of power struggle happening in this mediocre city.
He would like to spend his time inside a dungeon or with his lovely wives instead of getting disturbed by these useless people.
But the internal information network of this city was truly very good. It had not even been 10 minutes since the conquerors came to the adventure guild but some of the agents from the influential people already started to gather around them.
Rein did not bother to give them much attention and just noted down the names of the family from which they were coming and then they immediately left the guild. After that they used concealment magic to get rid of the people who were still trying to follow them and went to the best inn of this city.
This nation had a culture where instead of sleeping on a bed, people living here liked to sleep on the floor using a special bedding called futon. The inn Rein and his girls were going to stay had options for both types of room, with a bed and without one.
When Rein went to a nation with a similar culture, he liked the feeling of sleeping in a futon, so it was an easy choice for him as he wanted to enjoy this feeling once again. His girls were also fine with it as they also had no problem sleeping in a futon last time.
The room they booked was the most luxurious room of this inn. It cost two hundred and fifty thousand zeni to book this room. It was a large room covered in high quality tatami mat and it was decorated with various traditional and beautiful looking pictures.
The room also had antique vases with fresh Hanazawa flowers inside it. This flower was a rare flower that had a good market value.
But that was not all. This whole room was enchanted with quite good magic enchantments. They must have used a master enchanter with a power level of at least platinum rank. It had auto cleaning, sound proofing, air conditioning and more enchantments.
This room was truly worth all the money in Rein's opinion.
But the best thing about this room was the attached open air hot spring. This was one of the only two rooms of this hotel which had an attached hot spring. Rein was very satisfied and he was willing to stay in this city for a longer time just to enjoy this amazing room more.
They spend a whole day doing nothing but soaking in the hot spring, eating traditional dishes of this region, doing a dress up show with the clothes of this culture and when the mood was right, that just started to indulge in each other's body.
As Kagura had just transformed into her humanoid form from her sword form, her carnal desires were not very developed. She was still thinking herself as an object, so she still was not in a physical relationship with Rein.
Kagura had already told Rein that she was going to spend her whole life together with Rein and asked him to make her one of his girlfriends. But as her mindset was still that if a sword, she was not very familiar with the feeling of love.
So instead of taking the easy way out and taking her in as his girlfriend immediately, Rein decided to take baby steps first to make her understand about what love was. Only then he would be able to take her in as his girlfriend.
Rein's method was working as recently, Kagura started to get embarrassed when Rein saw her naked while at the beginning she did not mind that at all as she was still believing herself to be just a sword.
It was a big step forward in Rein's opinion and he was looking forward to the day when he would be able to make Kagura his lover.
In the beginning, Kagura had no problem watching Rein and his lovers having sex as in her previous sword form she had seen this scene many times.
But recently, she had started to develop some desires and was unable to stay calm anymore while watching her master and his lovers making out, so she was turning back to the sword form and was hiding in Rein's inventory while all the naughty things were happening.
But unbeknownst to Rein, she was actually watching most of the action from the inventory, so going inside the inventory was just a way for her to be a closet pervert instead of an open one.
...
After spending a whole day enjoying, finally the conquerors left the comfortable inn to enter the dungeon. Rein had already booked that room for a whole month, so even after coming back, he would be able to enjoy the room again. Spending more money for this comfort was no big deal to Rein.
The entrance to the Deity's Resting Ground's was a golden coloured portal giving off multicolored radiance. A party just starting off had to start from one of the four beginners areas and from there they could go deeper and deeper to more dangerous areas with stronger monsters.
According to the official record of the guild, the deepest recorded expedition was up to an area called "Ominous Swamp" where they were able to find monsters stronger than rank 1 and the Orichalcum rank adventurer doing the expedition had to come back.
But actually Rein's dragon girlfriend, Maggy had gone the deepest according to Rein's knowledge where she encountered Green grade transcendental monster and had to turn back after fighting that monster to a draw. The area where she was stopped was called "Tidur of Eternal Rest".
From her description, it was certain that they were able to reach a higher ranking area from any of the four starting regain.
So to perfectly clear the dungeon, Rein was going to clear all four of the starting areas first and then clear the next area of higher difficulty next from all the four starting areas. After reaching an area, that place would be unlocked for teleportation for the next time they used the portal again.
Just like that they were going to methodically clear the whole dungeon one area after another.
Making this plan, all the members of the conquerors entered the portal. Immediately a board appeared before Rein and asked him to choose one of the four starting areas. Rein chose "Garden of Flower" as his starting area and teleported there. The dungeon conquering of this new dungeon was beginning.
