Karl’s group retreated to their room before dinner, in order to make plans for the upcoming days.
"Do we have enough local money to get by? I know Karl said he had made and sold some items today." Tessa asked, ever the practical one.
Karl nodded. "Yeah, I’ve got about a thousand Gold coins left. If we keep spending like this, I might have to make more rings soon, but now that Rae has cleared out a designer shop, our basic costs even staying at the Laughing Dragon would take years to go through that.
But I suspect that sitting around all day is going to get boring quickly.
We could also check out the Dungeon, and see if it helps our power levels grow.
I have some hope that if we keep practising, one or more of the beasts will be able to activate an Overlord Rank skill long before they have grown to advancement. The extra combat power or defensive abilities would put us in a good spot."
All four women nodded, and Tessa spoke for them. "That’s what we were thinking. The way that the locals speak of it, being in the dungeon helps you grow faster. It might only be true for Demons, but the Dungeons are System relics. So, logically, it should help everyone with a fully active System grow as well.
I know that Thor loves his job, but we would rest easier if we didn’t actually need his protection most of the time. We would still gladly accept it, but it would be best if it were just an extra layer of safety."
Then Lotus smirked. "Plus, who knows what the Dungeon might give us? It’s like a random treasure box."

Cara wholeheartedly approved of that idea.
The smell of fresh bread wafted up to their room from the kitchen below them, and they all headed down to get some additional information, though they weren’t particularly hungry after loading up on cake at lunch.
There was a younger lot of sailors in the tavern tonight, along with quite a few soldiers, but none of the old guards who had been cycled off-duty.
Karl took them to a table along the back wall, away from any chaos that might happen, but with sailors and soldiers all around them.
"Oh, it’s the new arrivals. Have you ladies had a chance to see the city yet?" One of the guards asked.
"We went to the boardwalk and did some shopping today. We were thinking about trying the dungeon tomorrow. Anything we should know?" Ophelia replied with a toothy grin.
The burly demon smiled back at her. "Well, it’s a water realm Dungeon, so everything is swampy. The dungeon is full of Ogres, though. Kind of a strange setup, but at least the running water makes them smell a bit better than usual.
There is a five-gold coin per group exit fee. The last lot charged it on the way in, but we found that it’s much easier to charge it on the way out. At least on the way out, they’ll be guaranteed to have money, and nobody can accuse us of robbing a dead man."
