Orlando, Karsuda province's capital.
While Jake's cult plan was going great, Alex was sitting inside the city's adventurer's guild house surrounded by at least ten people.
He had sold everything he had - his properties in Orlando, his years of saving as an adventurer, and his backup gear. All to buy mana crystals. He had even called all his friends and begged them.
Now he had 89 high-grade mana crystals. However, he knew that wasn't enough. The demon had told him to bring at least 100.
So, Alex was here at the adventurer's guild to make rich adventurers join his quest. However, the people surrounding him were no higher than E-Rank.
''You mean to say that your friends are trapped in that new dungeon?'' One adventurer asked. He was a bald fellow wearing old iron-plate armor.
''Which one?'' A new guy asked.
''The one we heard about a month ago… It's in Redwoods, ain't it?''
