Benjamin’s heart dropped with a thump. He turned off his Water Elemental Sensing Technique before he came through the door just in case someone with a keen spiritual energy was able to detect his snooping. He told the System to keep an eye out for trouble, and it did not take long to get back to Benjamin. It was hardly this efficient, you see.
"What’s wrong?" Benjamin asked internally while maintaining his smiles and small talk with the three elders.
"There’s a dungeon under this house, and there were approximately 10 people locked in it," replied the System, "although this wasn’t much, but…. These people seemed to all be mages."
….Dungeon? Mages?
There were so many questions in his heart.
There should not be a dungeon in a secluded village like this. However, it was not unheard of for these three elders to build a secret dungeon for law and order, or for their own personal desires.
