I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"The land of sunset?"

Anno frowned upon hearing the place name.

Half of the captured professionals are mid-level professionals.

The priest killed by Buck was a sixth-rank priest.

Previously, a sixth-tier knight was killed by Samoro.

As far as I know, the development of Sunset Lands is similar to that of Glad City, so it doesn't make sense that there are such strong professionals there.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Gilbert, the lord of Sunset Lands, hired a large number of powerful professionals after discovering the dungeon.

Anno gestured to Buck to pull the female mage out of the captives.

After the female mage was led aside, Anno deliberately lowered his voice and looked down at the frightened mage, asking, "Are you professionals from the Land of Sunset?"

When Anno asked her a question, the already frightened female mage trembled even more.

"Yes, yes, yes...yes!"

Seeing that the other person was unable to speak clearly, Anno used [Vision] to control them and asked, "How did you get in?"

The female mage, whose eyes had been vacant, stopped trembling and obediently answered, "Teleportation array!"

"Who is your leader?"

"Lord Gilbert Field!"

Under the control of [Vision], the female mage answered all her questions without hesitation.

Anno also learned about Gilbert's basic situation through a question-and-answer session.

The mage Elaine didn't know when the dungeon was discovered.

When Elaine joined the dungeon survey, the first floor had already been conquered.

Moreover, strictly speaking, Elaine is not a Nigar, but a citizen of the Duchy of Aurel.

Because the land of sunset is located on the border between the Kingdom of Nigar and the Duchy of Aurel, the border cities on both sides also have exchanges with each other.

Elaine went to Sunset Lands because she heard that Gilbert was recruiting professionals with high welfare benefits.

Not long after they arrived in the Land of Sunset, they were taken to the dungeon and began their conquest journey.

This underground city is filled with many strange and bizarre monsters.

Apart from the first floor, which is where they are now, which is mostly filled with low-level monsters, the second and third floors have many mid-level monsters, and there are also a lot of traps in the passage.

Moreover, each floor has some special areas.

For example, there is a trap room on the first floor. As soon as someone enters, the teleportation array inside the room will automatically activate, teleporting a bunch of mechanical puppets with strength comparable to mid-level.

There are also special areas that occasionally teleport monsters from lower levels to the first level.

The monsters on the lower levels are stronger, which is why three Tier 6 monsters were left in the logistics team on the first level.

But they didn't expect that a big boss would appear on the first floor today.

Low-level professionals who enter the dungeon are mainly responsible for logistics.

The strategy team consists of mostly mid-level professionals, numbering around two hundred.

With Anno's current strength, let alone the logistics team, even if the entire strategy team below came up, they would be sent to their deaths!

When Anno asked about the slaves, Elaine said that these slaves were generally sent here primarily as expendable resources to test traps.

When exploring new areas in the lower levels, the strategy team always sends the slaves to the front.

After asking these questions, the lich walked to Anno's side and whispered, "Master, it's almost time. We should go back!"

The portal in the study can only last for about half an hour.

Moreover, the portal can only be opened from the study.

Although Anno had given Ella, who was staying outside, a concentrated magic stone before he came in, in case Anno was delayed inside and could not return in time.

Now that they have a basic understanding of the dungeon and the power of these humans, there is no need for Anno to stay here any longer.

Anno arranged for all the summoned creatures' shadows to remain here, temporarily disguising themselves as monsters from the dungeon, while gathering information.

He then returned with the original forms of his summoned creatures.

As a low-level employee, Elaine had very limited information.

To gain a deeper understanding of the dungeon, you should visit Sunset Lands and find Gilbert.

Both Antoine, the former lord of Xuelong City, and Gilbert, the lord of Sunset Land, knew how to enter the underground city, so they must know some secrets.

After Anno left, Elaine, who had just woken up from the illusion, realized that she had been controlled by the big boss, and a warm current slid down her legs.

She had absolutely no ability to resist that illusion just now.

If the big boss told her to commit suicide, she would probably do it.

"Miss, please come with us!"

The shadows, having eliminated all humans except Elaine, approached Elaine and asked her to lead the way to the entrance to the second level.

Some time later, shouts of battle rang out from somewhere on the second floor of the underground city.

......

Returning to the dungeon hall where they had been teleported from, Anno, carrying the summoned creature, stepped into the vortex.

After returning to the study, I used the concentrated gem that provided the magic source for the portal, by which time the magic power was almost depleted.

Within two minutes, the vortex of the portal gradually shrank until it disappeared.

Because recalling the summoned creature would automatically cancel the [Shadow Summon], Anno did not retrieve the summoned creature's original form.

There wasn't enough room inside, so they all ran outside to act as guards.

"It seems Gilbert didn't report the dungeon incident to the kingdom, but people from the Duchy of Aurel were involved, including a sixth-tier professional."

Based on the current intelligence, Anno deduced that Gilbert probably wanted to monopolize the development of the underground city.

The resources that Anno just took are quite valuable.

The treasures in the entire underground city are countless.

Most importantly, if you can explore the entire dungeon and clear out the monsters inside, you can get a dungeon for free.

Gilbert probably didn't report the underground city for these reasons.

However, it is clear that Gilbert does not have the corresponding strength.

Even in an abandoned dungeon, he only managed to conquer two levels after exploring for half a year.

"It shouldn't be a big problem what shadows are in the dungeon. However, it looks like I need to go and check out the Sunset Lands."

A glint flashed in Anno's eyes. He took Liz and Sassi with him, walked outside the castle, mounted Adelaide, and left the territory.

Hearing that they were going to the land of sunsets, Adelaide suddenly became interested.

It grew up in the land of sunset.

However, she was eventually discovered by humans, and many humans came to hunt her down.

Now that I'm back in this land of the setting sun, it's a good time to go back to my old lair and see if my hidden assets are still there.

......

The land of sunset.

Lord Gilbert is entertaining a merchant at his manor!

Gilbert raised his glass and said to the fat man sitting across the table, "Quiller, why not stay in Sunset Land a few more days?"

"We've stayed long enough!"

The fat man smiled broadly and replied, "My master is getting impatient and wants this batch of goods to be transported back to Aurel first."

Lord Gilbert, if you ever have such good goods again, please contact us first.

Regarding the price, my host will definitely not let you down.

Gilbert's lips curled up slightly as he said, "Don't worry, the next shipment will probably arrive in about a month. Make sure you come on time then."

After seeing Quiller off, Gilbert returned to his mansion and, looking at the dozen or so chests of gold coins he had obtained from selling various treasures from the dungeon, couldn't help but burst into wild laughter.

"With this money, I can hire more powerful warriors to explore the dungeons."

One day I will be able to explore the lowest level of the dungeon.

Find the legendary "Demon Eye"!

With this, why should I, Gilbert, be an earl?

Gilbert sat atop the treasure chest, clutching a handful of gold coins, and exclaimed excitedly, "I want to be king!"
