The crystal flashed three times.
Then a figure appeared—it was Lord Henry, who had just finished their conversation. As soon as he finished preparing the specialized Dungeon, he couldn't wait to report the situation.
At this moment, the other party was still hidden in the shadows of the castle, their appearance unclear.
"Guild Master Gavin, I've made the arrangements. When the time comes, let your daughter come to my Dungeon, and she can easily obtain the title of Silver Adventurer."
Henry's deep voice carried a hint of a smile.
"Mm, I'll arrange it."
Gavin lowered his head, somewhat distracted, and casually responded before closing the communication crystal, ending the call with Lord Henry.
The communication was instantly cut, and Henry's expression in the castle froze for a moment.
However, since he got a reply, Eira should be coming to his Dungeon soon.
As long as he serves the young miss of the Pristine Aegis well, he will have the opportunity to break through to a Gold Lord with the help of the Pristine Aegis!
Thinking of this, Henry couldn't help but laugh, his sinister laughter echoing throughout the castle hall, scaring the sweeping skeletons in the hall into trembling three times.
In the Guild Master's office.
Gavin casually ended the communication with Lord Henry; he didn't care much about it.
His recent conversation with his daughter made him less interested in cooperating with Lord Henry.
His daughter had already found the Dungeon she intended to contract with, so the matter with Henry's Dungeon had to be put aside.
As her father, he understood Eira's personality very well.
Her eyes and tone didn't seem to be joking.
Since that was the case, he had to consider whether to personally visit the Dungeon that had so captivated his daughter, causing her to directly give up an important contract opportunity.
What kind of charm could a new Dungeon possess?
But the premise for doing this was to first gather some information.
Immediately, he took out a crystal from his desk drawer and gently touched it with magic power, and the crystal flashed three times.
Soon, the Guild Master's office door was roughly pushed open.
A beautiful woman, her face flushed with intoxication and a wine bottle still in her hand, walked in.
She was swaying as she walked, looking as if she might collapse onto the ground at any moment.
It was the Adventurer named Kali who had just stopped Eira.
"Guild Master~ hiccup~ Is something~ wrong?"
Kali's hazy eyes were half-open, and she asked in a lazy tone.
She showed no respect for the Guild Master in front of her.
But Gavin evidently didn't mind her attitude; he was already used to it, and he spoke, "Do you know Eira's recent movements?"
"Eira~" Kali's eyes cleared slightly. "She went to the Fourth Block today~ hiccup~"
"Fourth Block?"
"Yes~"
"Was there anything unusual?"
"She went with her little friend."
"Oh, that ordinary Adventurer named Nisha?"
"Yes~"
"Mm, do you know what Eira went to the Fourth Block for?"
"Oh~ I know," Kali burped.
"Go on."
Kali didn't reply. Instead, she pulled out a folded, special piece of paper from her waist; it was cut out and only palm-sized.
She casually tossed it to Gavin.
Gavin took the paper and saw that it was stained with wine, emitting an intoxicating scent, which made Gavin frown involuntarily.
The paper was white, and although incomplete, it was very thick, subtly revealing a special energy fluctuation—it was very unique.
"Central Adventurer's Daily."
Looking at the incomplete paper, Gavin recognized its identity and murmured.
The Central Adventurer's Daily was a large newspaper, a publication specifically dedicated to reporting news from various Dungeons.
Its scale was vast, covering all 23 districts of the Dungeon connection zone, making it the most well-known publication among Adventurers.
Even his Guild was dwarfed in comparison.
At this moment, on the incomplete newspaper in his hand, there was a prominent headline.
"Farming? An Easy Experience? Is This The Dungeon I Know?"
Author: Black Iron Sword Saint
Content: ...
After a quick scan of the content, Gavin's expression instantly turned surprised.
Ignoring the fact that the author's level was merely Black Iron, the content alone made Gavin feel incredible.
"Farming?"
"An easy experience?"
"Planting and harvesting?"
Gavin murmured, shaking his head occasionally, showing an expression of disbelief.
"Doesn't it seem unbelievable? When I first saw this newspaper, I also found it incredible—this is a Dungeon!"
Kali said.
"So?"
Gavin asked, puzzled, looking at the incomplete newspaper in his hand.
"Eira was tricked away by this Dungeon~"
Kali murmured, her tone revealing a hint of curiosity and a happy smile.
Immediately, she left the Guild Master's office on her own, without even saying goodbye.
"Tricked away, huh..."
Gavin looked at the incomplete newspaper in his hand, mumbling to himself, then looked at the incomplete publication.
"Since that's the case, let me take a look at this Dungeon! Stardew Valley!"
Gavin murmured, clutching the incomplete newspaper tightly in his hand.
Fourth Block, 23rd Dungeon, Stardew Valley.
These words were etched into his mind.
Being in the same District 23, the Pristine Aegis was located in the First Block, so going to the Fourth Block was not far.
Given Gavin's status, he could go immediately.
Let him see how this Stardew Valley managed to snatch his daughter away!
-----------------
At this moment, in Lord Central City.
Sean was leisurely strolling here, not alone, but with Black Wolf and two other mercenaries.
They had rested for a day, so Sean decided to take the three of them to Lord Central City to replace their damaged equipment.
After all, this was something he had promised.
As a transmigator with a good education, keeping his promises was his virtue.
This was not boasting!
The more important reason was that he had money, making him confident!
The updated Stardew Valley Dungeon was explosively popular, and a considerable amount of soul crystal flowed into his pocket.
It had only been open for one day, and the income was already maxed out.
He already had over ten thousand soul crystal, so he could be called a ten-thousand-yuan Lord.
With money, you have to spend it!
Otherwise, what's the point of earning it!?
"Lord, are you sure you want to help us replace our equipment?"
Black Wolf and the other mercenaries were still somewhat flattered.
They had never received such treatment when working as mercenaries for other Lords before!
"Yes, Lord, we can bear the losses ourselves. It's too much for you to buy us new weapons and equipment!"
Iron Fist, standing nearby, also chimed in.
Withered Shadow, walking at the very end, didn't speak but lowered her head shyly.
"It's fine~" Sean waved his hand with a smile. "You've helped me a great deal, and it's my duty to compensate you for your losses."
"Moreover, you brought back Wanderers, which further helped me replenish the Dungeon's manpower. Buying you brand new equipment can be considered my reward to you; don't feel any burden."
Black Wolf repeatedly waved his hand, saying, "Without the buffing items you gave us, Lord, we wouldn't have been able to bring back so many things!"
Sean smiled and didn't argue.
These buffing items indeed played a significant role.
But the efforts of Black Wolf and the other two were also genuine, and they brought back Wanderers, which was a real achievement. It was only right for Sean to give them some rewards.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go check out the weapon shop!"
With that, he led Black Wolf and the other two into a weapon shop.
Of course, given that Black Wolf and the other two were still Black Iron, they couldn't use high-level equipment, so they entered a shop that only sold Black Iron grade equipment.
