Chapter 19: Dungeons
Right the trio were looking for the adventurers guild of Azron town to register as adventurers, so that they could have a source of income.
There was also the option of stealing, but Iris rejected that idea, making Patra and Doron boo at her. Patra did that because Doron forced here to, not like she would have the courage to actually do it.
Anyways, from the infirmation they got from the flying fish tavern, this world has dungeons that people like adventurers go into to get monater parts, monster cores, dungeon plants and the likes.
Azron town had some dungeons in it's vicinity, but they were mostly slime dungeons, goblin dungeons and skeleton dungeons, aside form that, nothing else.
The slime dungeon produces, well, slime, and adventurers dive into these dungeons for their slime cores and the chance to at least learn the skill slime bomb.
The goblin dungeon on the other hand was for their skill tenacity, and also their goblin chieftains skill, dual weild, according to the bartender, only three out of a hundred people get to have this skill.
The skeleton dungeon was somehow the weakest as the skeleton monsters only had one skill, and that was re-connect, if their hands or legs or even their head is removed, they can easily reconnect it back. So aside for training new adventurers, the skeleton dungeon was mostly left alone, until it had to be culled.
This was the only information they could get about the town, since asking things like. How did the dungeons come about, or what are the ranks of these dungeons was just asking for problems.
"We have to find a way to not only get money, but also detailed information about this place and the world we are in" Iris muttered.
Doron on the other hand was observing the town and the streets they were passing.
He did not notice anything that made this place look like some kind of dungeon town. There were no merchants selling beast cores, no merchants selling armors or trinkets that could help adventurers in their dungeon dives, and this confused him.
Normally, there were usually men and women yelling at the top of their lungs shouting.
"Beast cores, legendry beast cores here, I can guarantee that my beast cores are the best, unlike some people"
Or.
"Hp potions, get them while their still hot and fresh for the couldron"
But, he was not hearing any of that, rather it was.
"Hey there las, you look like someone that loves attention from men, how about this, I will sell you this beautiful gold necklace for just 1 gold coin, how about it"
Then it's followed by.
"Humpf, scammer!" And the girl running away.
Doron then looked at Iris and spoke.
"We only know that the three dungeons that the Azron town has are all tier one bronze dungeons, but we don't know if they are strong or not, but slime monsters are not that strong" He paused and leaned in closer to her. "And have you not noticed that the marketplace seems a little strange, there are no merchants or peddlers selling armors, weapons, nor those beast cores that the bartender talked about, not even potions and stuff"
Iris also looked around and also found it a bit strange.
"Monopolization!" Patra suddenly spoke in realization, but quickly covered her mouth, after she realised that her voice was a little too loud.
"What?" Iris who heard her was confused.
"Monopolization, if my guess is right, someone or a group of people or an organization even, might have monopolized the market that deals with adventurer gears, making a lot of profit and not allowing any other merchant to sell the same goods as them" Patra explained as they walked.
"Hmmm, so that means there are some individuals who basically have a little control over the adventurers, if it's a person or an organization, then they could have a lot of influence in the advnturers guild too" Doron had a very malicious gleam in his eye and Iris knew that it was not going to be a plan that the she would like.
"So what are you thinking of?" She of course could not help but ask.
"It's pretty obvious, we locate this person or group and make them hand over their powers to us" Doron smiled. "We won't have to worry about money or information again"
Iris lookd around and realised that nobody was looking at them weirdly or suspiciously.
"What if these guys are more trouble than we can handle? What will you do then?" Iris asked back, as she pulled Doron and Patra into an alley.
"It's not a short term thing, it's just a plan for the future, we get registered as adenturers, go dungeon diving like one or two times as we gather information about this people, when we have enough info about them, we strike and get everything, simple." Doron said shrugging his shoulders.
"But what of the money for registration" Patra aksed.
This question instantly awoke Doron and Iris.
How could they forget, they still had to pay registration fee to become adventurers. The bartender told them about it, when they told him they actually came here to register as adventurers.
"You guys want to become adventurers, huh? Okay, I think you have to at least pay some coins, since there are three of you, that would be about 90 bronze coins, 30 coins for one person"
"What do we do now, we have only 20 bronze ooins with us" Iris said.
"Just wait a bit" Doron said as he went out of the alley.
"where are you going?" Iris asked.
"To make money" Doron said, smilling.

Doron smiled as he looked at the shops around and saw a woman that had what looked like jewelry shop, not to far away, and walked towards here with a seductive smile on his face.
The said woman who had just raised her head to look at the customer that was approaching her shop was shocked as she saw a young man with rose colored hair coming towards her with a seductive and devilih smile on his face that made her blush. She was in her late thirties, but could not believe that she was blushing after seeing a young man like him walking towards.
She was also not the only one as the other young girls and ladies who saw this man felt that their hearts were about to leap out of their chests.
The men on the other looked at the man with hostility... Well not all the men though. *wink*wink*.
Doron was not looking at the rest as he looked at the woman infront of him.

"H-how can I help you?" The woman said, as she tucked her hair behind her ear, showing a beatifully designed earring that looked like a flower.
"Oh, nothing much really, I just happened to be passing by and saw a very mature and blooming flower and could not help but take a step closer to smell it's fragrance" Doron responded as he ran his hands through his hair and looked at the lady with and infatuated look, like he could look at her all day.
The woman hearing this could not help but suck in a deep breath to calm her rapidly beating heart.
"O-oh, I-i hope you find it soon" The woman said back with a bashful smile.
[Congratulations]
[Charm has taken effect]
Doron smiled widely seeing the notification, but to those looking at him, they felt he was teasing them to come closer.
"It seems that the mature flower still has a bit of innocence in it" Doron said as he leaned closer to the woman and whispered to her. "I actually like that".
His seductive and hoarse sounding voice made the womans legs go limp, as she used that table of her store to balamce herself.
[Activate Skill: Bidding]

-skill = Bidding is Active((Only works when charm has taken effect), Control the minds of those under your charm to do anything you want them to do, even commiting suicide is possible)

As Doron was still close to her ears, he used bidding on her and spoke.
"Give me two silver coins" He commanded.
"Yes master, " The woman said with infatuated tone as she passed two silver coins to Doron desecretly.
"Thanl you dear" Doron said and gave her a peck as he pulled away from her.
The people hwo saw what he did foun it sweet and romantic.
As Doron was heading back he looked at the woman and blew an imaginary kiss at her, which she caught and placed on her cheek.
Doron then smiled and went into an alley.
Of course some girls looked at him, some men even followed him, but all they saw was a dead end.
Doron was currently parkouring ontop of the roofs of the town as he took a detour and headed back to the alley where Iris and Doron were.
"Mission complete" He said while rasing his tumbs up.
Iris and Patra looked at each other and could not really understand what happened.
They saw all what he did, but they never thought that Doron would do something like this at all, and were shocked at how he was ableto spout cheesy words like that so cassually.
"For you guys it's cheesy, but for people in these midevil times, those words were the best pick up lines" Doron said with a proud look on his face.
"I think it's medieval" Patra corrected.
"... Thanks" Doron said and looked at Patra like she stole his girlfriend form him.
"*Sigh* we have the money, let's just go" Iris said as she took the lead.
Unknown to them, untop of one of the buildings, a bearded man was looking at the trio with a critical gaze.
"Send word to the temple" Was all he said as different shadows flew of inti the distance, heading to the north.
'It seems that the peace we have enjoyed si coming to an end' The bearded man said as he looked at the trio, especially the boy with rose clored hair. 'A realm menace'
