Others Summon Dragons, I Summon Legendary Knights - Chapter 351: High Risk Dungeon

Chapter 351: High Risk Dungeon

Garbed in a suit tailored to his frame, the guild master made his way toward Isolde. When he got close to the desk, he smiled softly. “Sorry to trouble you, Lady Selyne.”

Johan sat down. ’She’s something else. I’ve seen what Eliza has become as a Titled god, and I thought she was already a goddess on par with Selyne, but now, seeing her in the flesh, I might have been wrong.’

She sat there so calmly, like she wasn’t before one of the top-ranking men in the country.

“I would like to borrow your husband.” Johan’s demand made Isolde raise an eyebrow.

Johan’s eyes narrowed. “We all know how rare and unpredictable purple gates are, but lately, a purple gate has been appearing repeatedly on 59th Street Bridge. It’s been like this for the past week, appearing at different parts of the bridge and taking people who haven’t returned.”

During the apocalypse, New York City collapsed, and each borough, after being rebuilt, became individual cities as they once were. Staten Island, which had the least population before the apocalypse, was now second only to Manhattan.

Queens was just behind Manhattan. It was only recovered after Manhattan gained stable footing, but Queens City lacked prominent families like the Bane Family and the Fourth Strongest Family.

Manhattan was the first to be rebuilt, and people flocked toward where it was safer, and that tilt made Manhattan City not just the leading city in the country, but also in the entire world.

Not all districts could be identical; aesthetics changed, roads changed, and a lot changed to accommodate their new lifestyle, but iconic structures like the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the 59th Street Bridge were repaired to their former state.

Johan placed one hand on the desk. “It’s a purple gate, a high-risk dungeon, a Titled god Tier one at that. The mayor has assembled the military to block the bridge, but that would have adverse effects if it isn’t opened as soon as possible. The authorities aren’t willing to risk an asset like a Titled god agent in a purple gate.”

“Justice Guild is silent. They have at least two Titled gods, yet they’ve refused to speak. They’ve just been inactive. Pagoda Guild is trying to consolidate their forces, as they’re already losing badly to the Justice Guild. No one wants to waste manpower on a highly dangerous gate that has no record of a dungeon break. If there won’t be a dungeon break, why risk yourself, and if there was, it would be better to fight outside the dungeon than inside, where the terrain won’t be favourable.”

“No one, not even strong freelancing teams that formed recently. We all understand the power a Titled god holds. According to statistics, over the past month, over fifteen thousand people who might have accessed the Titled God test are dead, and we have less than a hundred and fifty. Not all have been found, even when the statistics say we should have around this number.”

“It seems you’re the only one concerned.” Isolde replied.

Johan brought his other hand to the table as he shifted. “There are lots of powerful people in the world right now, but being a paragon, a progenitor, or a Titled god just means we’ve officially become resources; walking storage of mana, just as rewarding as a dungeon and, in a way, less dangerous than a dungeon with an unknown, usually unfavorable terrain. If Godfrey does this, he’ll gain a leverage.”

“It’s all to make the competition better. Can’t outsmart the Mana Tree, can we? It discovered the best way to make it interesting for those who have grown to certain levels was to give them resources to one another,” Johan added.

Isolde raised an eyebrow. ’I knew there had to be something in it for himself.’
