Meanwhile at the guild:
After a 20-minute wait, Lyra reached Rose Fanett's counter.
Lyra: It's a shame, every time I come here, idiots offer you a marriage again.
Rose: If you knew how boring it is. what can I do for you Lyra?
Lyra: My family would like to declare an expedition.
Rose surprise: Oh, interesting, according to your family reports it's stopping at the 13th floor, is your expedition aiming for just another floor?
Lyra: We want to reach the 18th.
Rose: Hmm, who will participate?
Lyra: Everyone, we are all level up so...
Rose: So 6 levels 2, yes that sounds doable, but many will discover the middle floors with this descent. Make sure you are equipped for that. Very well, I will record the declaration. Do you know when you would go down?
Lyra: Not yet, Alise and Tank have left to maintain and improve the equipment.
Rose: Well, when you have the precise date, think of coming to tell me. Do you need anything else?
Lyra: Yes, we will take commissions for the expedition, any particular requests?
Rose: The famillia Goibniu has placed several requests for living money, the famillia Ishtar, a request for cave green herbs for their aphrodisiac, and otherwise the famillia Dian Cecht and Miach are always in demand for Purple moth pounder and blue butterfly wings. The crystal candies from the 18 floors are also in demand if you're lucky.
Lyra: Perfect, we'll see what we can bring back.
Rose: Make sure you come back alive in the first place, your family is one of the few that I appreciate.
Lyra teasing: Oh even now that we have a man, a handsome wolf...?
Indifferent Rose: He is not my adventurer but Eina's, on this subject I will let her know about the expedition.
Lyra: Thank you, I forgot that Tank is not at your place, and otherwise what news, interesting gossip?
Rose: Lyra, if you don't have anything else serious to ask I will ask you to leave for another wait.
Smiling Lyra : really? You know every second where you argue with me and a second where you don't have to answer those perverts.
Rose looked behind Lyra and saw the crowd of men disengaging her with their eyes.
Rose smiles: In fact, I have several pieces of information that come back to me. The main one is that Altena sent a delegation to the family Loki.
Lyra: Ah why? Do they still want to request the transfer of Nine Hell?
Rose: Not only that, they mainly want to recover Thousand elf, with her power they think they can improve their artificial dungeon magic. After all, she should be able to cast the creation spells used at the time, and they take the opportunity to learn about the new magic geniuses of Orario.
Lyra thought : Tank will have to be discreet in this case.
Lyra: And did the family Loki reply?
Rose: That it is miss Veridys' decision and that unfortunately she is exploring with another group.
Lyra: What a pity for them... And besides that?
Rose: Love ragot does that interest you?
Lyra: Of course!
Rose: Ok, so you know Alfia nicknamed Silence and well it seems that she...
Manoir poussière d'étoile, diner:
Alise: Well, our weapons will be finished in 4 days, so the departure of our expedition will be set for the morning in 6 days. Apart from the weapons, is everything ready?
Lyra: We have our commissions, and the expedition is declared to the guild. I will repass the 5 days to finalize it and schedule a last-minute commission if needed.
Neze: We have our supplies of water and food as well as potions are good.
Alise delighted: Perfect I am proud of you everyone! While waiting for the departure of the general training expedition for everyone, especially for Ryu, Tank, Lyra, and Neze you must adapt to your level up.
Kaguya: Neze must also test her magic.
Neze: I'm excited! Ryu, is it so hard to wield magic?
Ryu: Hmm, it depends a lot on the spell and the people. My best advice is to trust your gut if you feel something is blocking stop changing and slowly retract your mana before starting again.
Neze: Ok I see... you want to watch me, you are the most experienced with the cast and magic.
Ryu smiles: With pleasure.
The rest of the meal quickly passed the serious atmosphere leaving room for the usual teasing and bickering to the great misfortune of Ryu. Lyra and Kaguya tried to tease me and Neze, but as my mate said: Why would we hide, we are our pack.
After eating I also returned to the practice of Mystery. I was preparing lightning stones, enchanting magical silverback and hardarmored stones. Being mosntres using only physical force, the effect of my enchantment is quite reduced. But they are relatively easy to create. I estimate that I can create 4 or 5 for everyone by the time the expedition departs.
