122 New Dungeon

Trevon returned to his family pavilion after he made four girls fell. During his walk back, he thought about what the ladies said.

"…the losing family is Alesanto family."

"Until now, the member of Alesanto and Bandeira would never talk to a Joacino."

[Ah! This is problematic.] Trevon knew it would be hard for him. [I am not very close with either of them. I only need to remember to bring only one for a night adventure.]

Trevon arrived at his family pavilion when he saw Aya and Marcus. Marcus was sitting and looked to his sword. While Aya was moving back and forth in front of the pavilion.

"Young Master! You are safe!" Aya said in a relieved tone.

"What happened?" Trevon asked without burden. The young master had a short relaxing painting session with the ladies in the winehouse. He returned to turn his sketches into complete the paintings.

"We have been searching for you, Young Master!" Marcus also looked tired.

"I was in the cave then I looked for you two. But I can't find you in the teahouse, so I walked while enjoying the city." Trevon wouldn't tell about his painting session unless being forced.

"Young Master doesn't know about the attack?" Marcus felt a bit surprised. His young master was too carefree.

"I know. I saw people surrounded some family castles." Trevon said.

"Actually, Grand Elder Pieter was looking for Young Master." Aya said. "He found us in the teahouse."

"Looking for me?" Trevon felt a bit burdened.

"Yes. We told him that you were mining in the mine. Therefore, he came inside with some staffs, but he failed to find you."

"Yes. They have searched in the possible red iron mining area. Young Master couldn't be found."

"I met with a bit of trouble before. Did Grand Elder tell you why he was looking for me?"

"Grand Elder needed you to help to break the formation."

"Ah!" Trevon understood that. [Sigh... I don't know they will attack. Also, should I break it?]

Trevon had heard about the result of the disaster in Goldcave. While the Debt Collector was responsible for a big part of it, he heard many victims on the winehouse's gossips. "Where is Grand Elder? He knew he should report back at least.

"He is in a pavilion with some guests."

Trevon felt a bit pressured. "Send someone to inform that I have returned! I will be in my room then."

The young master planned his excuse. He then continued to read the novels while he waited in his room. [Hm… I have Chapter 54 to 65 today.]

Trevon started to read his meeting with his grandmother, his fight with Jaxon, the spoiled young master from a small family, and his other adventures with his grandmother. [Will she watch the competition in the capital?] He thought.

During his reading, he saw Celestial Readers' comments. Most were supporting the Rabbink but thought bad about him. [This freakmedic, PineHeinKyaw, AzureAsura93, Arania, and DaolordeDarkSky is too supporting the Rabbink! Only Hallyustar praising me! I am the MC. Why the Rabbinks seems more popular? Grr…]

Trevon was almost coughing blood when he saw Master Rabbink wrote 100% forced satisfaction to shinleigh_06 comment in Chapter 58. He almost lost her grandmother from the trouble. The young master would file a complaint if that was possible.

[Sigh! I should request more break.] He stabilized his blood flow before wrote a comment in Chapter 59. The last few days were already very frustrating for him.

He saw the readers talked about the beautiful lady in cover more in Chapter 64. Some celestial readers argued about the click bait cover. "Hey! Rabbink you should use my face as the cover! Look! This Debby_chan requested it. I think that is a great idea. Hahaha."

"Probably one day! Gwahahaha. More people clicked because of the cover. Why should this Rabbink put your ugly face in the front?"

"It will be more popular. Then, why is this female cover?" Trevon looked to the beautiful face again.

"That is a secret. Gwahahaha. You will know soon." Master Rabbink still continued with writing with its strange artifact.

Trevon kissed the cover picture. [I hope that soon is tomorrow. Hwehwehwe.] While he wanted for his face to appear on the front, he preferred to look at the beautiful lady. There was something that attracted him to the lady.

He shook his head and continued to read. The web novel reader continued to reply to the people comment in Chapter 65. [What is this? louis_8998 and Hallyustar doubted my harem capability? No way! I will never surrender for love. Harem path is my path. They should read the number of ladies fall into my painting skills. Hwehwehwe.]

He was still in the delusion with the jadelike beauty on the cover when a knock woke him.

"Knock… Knock… Knock…"

"Good Night, Young Master Trevon! Grand Elder Pieter is looking for you!" Ernesto's voice was heard from behind the door.

[Eh? I haven't made a comment for older chapters.] The young master felt hurried. He hadn't made any comments for Chapter 54 until 58.

"Knock… Knock… Knock…"

"Young Master Trevon? Are you there?" The Grand Elder Pieter's aide called him again.

[Gah!] The young master was forced to return the tablet and opened the door. "Sorry, I was in the cultivation state. Where is the Grand Elder?"

"Grand Elder is in the Lotus Pavilion. Let me show you the way!" Ernesto offered.

"Fine." Trevon didn't know about the layout of this pavilion. He only came to visit the place for two days. The young master followed Ernesto to a pavilion.

Inside three elders were talking with each other. They were preparing some tea. From their frown, Trevon knew they were talking important thing.

"Trevon greets Grand Elder Pieter, Grand Elder Lewa, and Grand Elder Lance!" Trevon gave a fist and palm salute. He had known Grand Elder Lance after the incident in the Ironlaw castle.

"Where have you been Trevon?" Grand Elder Pieter asked Trevon.

Trevon knew he would be asked by his elders. He had prepared to report everything and get some rewards at the same time. "Report Grand Elder Pieter! Master Creator asked me to do something."

"Master Creator asked you to do something?" The three Grand Elders face turned serious. The family elders had informed that Master Creator was a super important thing in the family.

[...] The Grand Elders looked into each other. All had read Trevon's report. They didn't see Trevon's lying. Also, after the strange tribulation in the name of Master Creator, the family took a more careful stance.

[I don't think Trevon's lying.]

[Yes, we should be careful in talking. This is about Master Creator.]

[Remember, Master Creator could read our minds.] Grand Elder Pieter cut the discussion short. It was hard to talk with an almighty being around them.

"Fine. Can you tell me what he asked you to do?" Grand Elder Lance as a branch leader was calmer.

[Gah! I haven't mined the iron!] Trevon just remembered.

"Well! You haven't completed this Rabbink's mission. Gwahahaha." Master Rabbink was checking the foods for the Grand Elders. Since everyone focused on Trevon, the Rabbink checked on the snack on the side table. It needed to ensure the foods suited a Rank 3 warrior.

"What happened?" Pieter saw the strange expression on Trevon face and looked around. [Is Master Creator in this room?]

Yet, he saw a cake disappear. [You should pretend you don't see anything!] He quickly told the other Grand Elders using spiritual sense.

Trevon also saw the disappearance of the cake. [GAH!] He looked to the Grand Elders.

"Uhuk... Uhuk..." Grand Elder Lewa coughed. Pretending he didn't do anything. "I need water."

"Here is your water, Brother Lewa." Grand Elder Lance poured a glass of water for Grand Elder Lewa.

They tried to keep their face away from the side table. All pretended not see anything.

"Understanding elders! This Rabbink will check everything from poison in return!"

"…" Trevon felt strange while the glutton Rabbink took more and more snacks.

"Ehem..." Grand Elder Pieced looked at Trevon.

"Master Creator needed a red iron ore for his artifacts. So, I was asked to help him mine."

"You are in the mining area? Actually, I have searched for you there." Grand Elder Pieter said.

"Ah! Actually..." Trevon started by telling that he was mining in the cave with Ainsley. He told about the attack of the mole.

"Well, the mole demon beast king is a bit dangerous. You are lucky to survive it." Grand Elder Lance as a local knew about the mole.

"Yes. I am lucky. Master Creator doesn't like the Mole for disturbing his request, therefore he smacked it into nothingness."

"Wait! This Rabbink didn't do that! I won't smack it, but I will grill it. I want to know what is its taste. Gwahahaha." Master Rabbink had found another storage of foods. It had to check them from poison. The Rabbink would be bad if Trevon's elders died because of food poisoning.

"…" Trevon wouldn't comment on the Rabbink.

"Then what happened after that?" Grand Elder Lance asked.

"I thought that Ainsley had turned into a prata, therefore I moved the stones."

"Ainsley! Wait! Ainsley Bandeira?" Grand Elder Lance cut. "Is he the survivor of Bandeira family attack?"

"Grand Elder Lance knows him?" Trevon can't believe that handsome young man was famous.

"Eh? You know him, Brother Lance?" Grand Elder Pieter also felt surprised. A McArthur family branch leader remembered a younger generation meant there was something special about Ainsley.

"It isn't that important. You should finish your story first. However, I will also need to tell you something about Ainsley, Trevon."

"Yes, Grand Elder." Trevon then informed that he entered the hole. He walked and found Ainsley was checking a dungeon entrance.

"WHAT?!!! A DUNGEON?!!!" Grand Elder Lewa jumped from his sitting position. Even for Rank 3 warrior like him, a dungeon was worth a lot.

"This is important. Tell us more about that dungeon!" Grand Elder Lance was calmer, but his tone couldn't hide his enthusiasm.

"We should activate a privacy formation first." Grand Elder Pieter also thought about secrecy.

"You are right, Brother Pieter." Grand Elder Lance activated a formation. He also seemed to tell a staff to do something.

"You will be highly rewarded for this achievement, Trevon." Grand Elder Pieter said.

"Trevon thanks Grand Elders for the rewards!" Trevon felt happy with extra contribution points.

After Grand Elder Lance finished activating the formation, he returned. "I have called some Guardian Elders to prepare. Please continue your story, Trevon!"

"I and Ainsley decided to enter the dungeon. We found that the dungeon didn't have a penalty rule. So, I bravely entered it to test myself." Trevon said in a heroic tone.

"Good. You are truly a young generation of McArthur family." Grand Elder Lewa nodded. He had heard Trevon was a scaredy cat, however, he had shown his bravery to enter an inheritance dungeon.

"Uhuk... Uhuk..." Master Rabbink was choked on its food.

[That is because you stole the foods.] Trevon gave a jab to the coughing Rabbink.

"What is the name of the dungeon?" Grand Elder Lance hurriedly said.

"Erm..." Trevon tried to remember, but a dwarf name was too strange for him. "Ah! Wait a minute!" Trevon pretended to remember.

While he looked to remember the thing, Trevon actually used his Core Management skill. Trevon checked using Portal Making screen toward the area around the monolith. He had a monolith taken after buying it from the dungeon master. [I know this monolith would be useful.] The treasure snatcher Trevon felt proud.

"…" Master Rabbink could only remember of the dwarf face when he lost a monolith.

"Eberk Rockminer!" Trevon read the name on the monolith with a smile.

"That genius Sage dwarf!" Grand Elder Lance shouted. "Wait! Wait a minute!"

He went toward a bookshelf behind him. He took a spirit jade slip. Cultivator often recorded important thing in a jade slip. That would protect the information for hundred thousand years.

"This is an old jade slip. I have an interest in the Dwarf heritage." Grand Elder Lance put the jade slip in the center. "You can also check it Trevon."

Trevon knew how to use Jade Slip. He poured his spiritual sense into the jade slip. A jade slip contained a huge information that could be read in an instant for a cultivator.

In the jade slip, he read many dwarf legends. Until he reached Rank 3 warrior called Eberk Rockminer.

[Eberk Rockminer (1.653.562-1.654.526 Dwarf Calendar). A genius dwarf in the blacksmithing and artifact making art. He lives in the Goldcave Dwarf Kingdom during the kingdom last day. The genius dwarf created the best magical siege weapons on the entire continent. His blacksmithing technique is hard and detailed. A rumor he was looking for a destined apprentice until his death, but even the many talented dwarves couldn't become his apprentice...]

There was more information in the jade slip. Including in that was his various unique creations and their effects. The more Trevon read about them, the gloomier he became. [How could Ainsley meet him while I couldn't?]

Trevon absorbed the information in the jade slip. He tried to find other famous dwarves around that time. He found two dwarves Knights who died during the Goldcave War.

[Hurthorn Cliffeater (1.649.457-1.654.526 Dwarf Calendar). A legendary dwarf Knight. Protector of Goldcave Dwarf Kingdom. He fought bravely until his death during the Goldcave War. Hurthorn Cliffeater born...]

Trevon saw the full biography of the dwarf. The dwarf was a famous axe user. His famous attacks were recorded.

[Dramgas Hammersword (??? - 1.654.526 Dwarf Calendar). A legendary dwarf Knight. Nobody knew where he was, but he was a wandering dwarf. He was in Goldcave during the Goldcave War. His contribution ensured the city could survive against the human warrior coalition...]

Trevon read the biography of another famous dwarf. This dwarf was a famous sword user.

[Whom did Ainsley get his inheritance from?] Trevon thought.

"This Sage Eberk is a Sage Spiritual Artificer. His inheritance would not be easy to obtain." Grand Elder Lance said.

"A Sage?" Trevon became more irritated. Ainsley almost obtained that inheritance. [He is not that lucky then. A child of God missed an inheritance from a Rank 3 Knight and a Sage Artificer. Hehehe.]

"What is the dungeon rules, Trevon?" Grand Elder Pieter looked serious.

"Erm... The dungeon master loved to add new rules." Trevon tried to remember the rules. They were too many, but he had read it too many times since it appeared almost non-stop.

"Hm... We can't participate." The Grand Elders felt disappointment when they heard the dungeon had one hundred years as the limit of bone age.

"We can still put the young masters and ladies to challenge it!" Grand Elder Lewa said.

"Yes. Brother Lewa is correct." Grand Elder Lance nodded.

Trevon continued to read the rules. It was long since the dungeon master tried to counter his action.

The Grand Elders looked at each other.

"This dungeon is very difficult." Grand Elder Lance thought.

"I agree. The rules are strange and difficult. This is uncommon for a young dungeon." Grand Elder Pieter commented.

"It is almost impossible for one to pass. The rules contained many traps which will make one entry failed." Grand Elder Lewa seemed in a deep thought.

"What is your result, Trevon?" Grand Elder Lewa looked at Trevon.

"Well! Trevon continued to tell his adventure. Venturing into the dangerous maze. Fighting bravely against a multitude of demon beast's lairs. Then fighting heroically against the scary bone giant. While running from a dangerous angry Rank 3 demon beast. Before beating same age legendary genius, then he proved that he could learn the inheritance." Trevon smiled brightly. He could get a huge reward for his success.

"YOU GOT AN INHERITANCE?!!!" Grand Elder Pieter shouted. As the person who was in close interaction for the last two years, he wouldn't believe that. Trevon didn't show a heroic character. Conquering an inheritance dungeon was an impossibility. He was already felt proud with Trevon decision to enter and happy for him to return in one piece.

Even Grand Elder Lewa and Pieter looked happy with the result. That meant the family had another promising younger generation.

"Hahaha. I am lucky, Grand Elder" Trevon smiled.

"Who did you say the legendary genius before?" Grand Elder Pieter didn't believe his ear.

"He is Ragam Phoenix." Trevon showed his biggest smile.

"Ragam... The Legendary Rank 4 King!" Grand Elder Lance shouted the name. He looked happy and took an old book about Legendary Warriors from his storage ring. He turned the page until it showed a page of Ragam and showed it to Trevon. Ragam looked scarier in the book.

"Is this him? What is his inheritance?"

"I think he is. Erm... I have his weapon." Trevon had planned to hide the crown and the map for himself. [I can sell the haladie after Master Rabbink duplicate it in the store. Hahaha.]

"I believe Master Creator could copy it soon." He quickly promoted.

"What else?"

"I have his martial arts."

"Did he give you a Phoenix family martial art?" Grand Elder Pieter asked. His tone became a bit firm when he asked this.

"No."

"Good. Never told anyone you get his inheritance. That would make a problem between our family and the Imperial families."

"Erm... I have told Ainsley I got an inheritance." Trevon wondered.

"Did you tell the name?"

"No."

"Hm... Then we will announce that you got an inheritance from another warrior." Grand Elder Pieter said. "Brother, Lance can you give one name to Trevon and the fake inheritance?"

"Fine." Lance took a jade slip. He used his spiritual sense to put information on it. Trevon could see drops of sweat from the branch leader.

"Here is a famous hero of the Goldcave War from our human side." He gave the jade slip to Trevon.

Trevon took the Jade Slip and read.

[George Goldbrave. A Rank 3 Warrior. An unknown human warrior who rose to prominence during the Goldcave war. He led a group of human warriors to fight against dwarf knights during the Goldcave war...]

The fake jade slip told the heroic achievement of the hero during the battle. Trevon tried to remember all his abilities.

Grand Elder Lance also wrote a letter. "This is an introduction. With this, you can borrow a manual from the family library. That manual is from George Goldbrave. He didn't die, but join our family during his later year. In return, we have been protecting his descendant for one hundred generations. You can pretend to inherit his martial arts to the public."

"Thank you, Grand Elders."

"If you contribute part of the inheritance to the family, the family will give you a sufficient reward. You can consider it. You will be guaranteed to become an elder in the future." Grand Elder Lance said.

"Grand Elder actually I have asked Master Creator to make some light balls about it." Trevon didn't feel to give the jade slips or the stone slabs. Those were his collection while he had the light ball manuals from the stone slabs he sold before.

Sometimes, Trevon didn't know about the egoist main characters in the novel. [Shouldn't they contribute to their families? Most of them didn't even teach their beloved ones the martial arts learned from their lucky encounter.]

"Hm... I will need to talk with the family leader about this. The problem is the new light ball manuals would make the younger generation becomes lazy. It is hard to make a copy for other branches. Your light ball manual couldn't be used to document a martial art for the family." Grand Elder Pieter evaded. "However, if it is a jade slip, the family would offer you more."

"Yes, Grand Elder." Trevon agreed with the reasoning. [Should I give the jade slip? I will ask father about this.]

"Fine. I think we need to focus on the cave first. We have to claim this inheritance dungeon first." Grand Elder Pieter said. "What do you think, Brother Lance."

"Actually, this is hard, but since many families were missing in the city. We are free to do many things in Goldcave. While Bandeira also had a stake in finding this, we will only need to wait for their branch families to return. I will check whether the teams are ready." Grand Elder Lance said then went outside to delegate some tasks.

While Grand Elder Lance was outside, Grand Elder Lewa and Pieter continued to question Trevon about the dungeon. They wanted to make a better preparation for the people who wanted to try the dungeon from the family.

Grand Elder Lance returned ten minutes later.

"Good! What do you want to talk about Ainsley, Brother Lance?" Grand Elder Pieter continued.
