    Andrew laughed. “Then I guess being the first to clear a dungeon wouldn’t be all that exciting. I’m not sure I would have done it. I always like to know what I’m getting into first.”


    Joe pointed above Zoe’s head. “That’s probably why she’s so much higher level than you.”


    “


    Joe nodded. “Probably.”


    “

    Andrew chuckled. “No, today is the library.”


    Zoe smiled. “Well, good luck on your research then.”

    Joe nodded. “If. IF. It’s something that can be done. If they’re really capable of making dungeons on demand like that, then I think you will. But that’s only if it can be done, which we don’t even know, anyway.” If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

    Joe shrugged. “Who knows. That’s all assuming that the kingdom even knows how to make a dungeon, and that it involves your rock, and that the kingdom would even want to do that here in our city, with your rock. Which is a lot of assumptions, Zoe.”

    “


    Joe nodded. “Yup. The council meets next week and I’ll bring it up with them then. Depending on how they feel, we may see if we can fast track meeting with the king’s delegation. But if we can’t, then it’ll be a few months before we can bring this issue up with them. And then from there, we’ll know where or not we can bring you to a meeting. Which, again, depending on how things go could be pretty soon after that or could be several more months.”

    Joe chuckled. “Waiting is what you do best, isn’t it?”

    Joe shook his head. “Nothing exciting. Same old life for me. We’ve got some more buildings up in the next expansion in Foizo which has helped a lot. Lots of new people here in town, and housing everybody has been challenging. But people seem happy, from what I can see. What’s the vibe you get?”

    “

    Joe nodded. “I’m sorry about that.”


    “


    “


    Zoe smiled.

    Joe scratched his head. “That’s one thing we’re worried about, but we would still have the royal guards here and Inkley is not far away if we have a catastrophe.”


    “


    Joe nodded. “Alright, I’ll keep that in mind then. Thanks, Zoe.”
