Rebirth of the Strongest Dungeon Master-Chapter 96 Tree Leaf

Seeing Baron Loke's silent expression, Isaac knew that he had won this little game. The man underestimated him too much.

'This is what happens when you toy with me.'

Isaac learned from experience that being a submissive one would end up being a tool of someone else. No matter how high the demon faced the orders, he must not obey every decision. Otherwise, he would only continue to be used for the rest of his life.

Even so, Isaac wouldn't threaten Baron Loke any further. He knew the supporting power behind the demon. He also knew that he had to choose an opponent.

"Relax, Baron Loke. I don't want to be hostile towards you. But, if you keep poking on my nerves, I won't stay silent."

Baron Loke said nothing. He was still looking at Isaac with an angry look on his face.

"Tell Duke Barbatos and your comrades, I will continue to help your alliance. I will guard the dungeon in Beijing safely and ensure there is no attack from the north."

Then, Baron Loke snorted. "After threatening us, you still want to cooperate without joining the alliance? You really are ridiculous."

"But, this ridiculous demon managed to make you feel threatened," Isaac replied lightly.

"You--"

Again, Baron Loke was silenced by Isaac.

"Baron Loke, I would be of great help if I became a friend, but it would be very troublesome if I became an enemy. I didn't mean to threaten anyone here. I just didn't want to be anyone's subordinate."

After that, the two of them were silent for a long time.

"Very well, Lord Isaac. I hope you really keep your promise. I will make sure to pass this message on to Duke Barbatos."

The light projection disappeared. The communication with Baron Loke ended there.

Isaac sighed. His action was considered very brave. He was sure that in the near future, Duke Barbatos' alliance would contact him again. ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

'I must quickly strengthen my dungeon defenses.'

Kirnish was tense seeing the conversation of the two Dungeon Masters. He didn't expect that the dungeon he was in now became a mess.

However, he was also amazed to see his new master. While serving Baron Gustav, he often saw his master being severely pressured by Baron Loke. Never once did the demon show any objection. The demon even tended to apologize. Isaac was different. He was more daring and even provocative.

For some reason, Isaac seemed to be a breath of fresh air for him. There was no one who was not proud to have such a brave master.

"Lord Isaac, that was a very bold decision. I admire you."

Isaac sighed. "That was nothing. I'm just defending my pride and worth. You should do it too."

Kirnish bowed respectfully. "Yes, my lord. I will remember it well."

With this, all of Isaac's affairs in the Beijing dungeon were finished. Now, it was time for him to go back to where he came from and finish the pending work.

Isaac then quickly teleported.

[Radiant Forest, 4th Floor, Isaac's Dungeon at the tripoint border.]

The Elf Village that was once just a large tree, had now turned into a bustling settlement. The hunters from all over the world visited this small place. They swarmed around Elf Village like ants.

Humans wearing combat gear and weapons hanging from their backs were seen passing by on the main road. The shops which were above the tree looked crowded. The bridge between the trees also looked lively with people passing by. The hunters could be seen interacting with local elves; some teased the young female elves, and some joked with them.

The atmosphere of the Elf Village was really lively.

Isaac watched it in complete astonishment. He was sure that the Elf Village would definitely attract a lot of hunters, but he didn't expect it to be this crowded. What's more, the elves and humans seemed to blend into one. They really get along well.

For him, this was the most successful plan so far.

'Look at them, these humans, as if they were my monsters.' 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

Isaac smirked.

Then, he walked through the crowded humans and headed for the biggest tree in the Elf Village. He could see a large building with a wooden carved name plate plastered above the door; it read 'Tree Leaf'. A crowd of hunters seemed to be swarming in front of the door.

The smell of barley and oak wafted as Isaac stepped inside. The hunters seemed to fill every available table in the hall. They joked and laughed while toasting. The elf waiters were passing around the beer to the guests. In the corner of the room, the other hunters were queuing up in front of a board full of paper mission requests. Then, at the end of the hall was an administrative desk office, where hunters lined up to receive rewards. On the other side of the room, the bartender's table was also filled with hunters who were ordering drinks.

That place was the Elf Village's guild headquarters, Tree Leaf.

'Adelia did a great job. She combined the concepts of a tavern and a guild into one. Great idea.'

Isaac was impressed by the situation of the guild headquarters. He handed over the whole village concept and design to Adelia. Isaac did not interfere at all during the manufacturing process, other than that he requested that the village be built simply.

At first, he just wanted to gauge the woman's ability. It turned out that his decision yielded good results.

"Come here, honey, bring me a warm beer. Tonight, I'll definitely warm you up."

In the midst of the crowd, a man was seen teasing an elf woman with golden hair and plain clothes. The elf woman didn't seem angry at all. In fact, she just smiled kindly and replied.

"Unfortunately, you're not my type."

The man did not give up. "Come on, honey, I'm great at playing in bed. Mine is big. I guarantee you will be satisfied."

Then, the people around laughed.

The female elf narrowed her eyes. "Big? You mean like this?" She showed the tip of her little finger in front of the man's face.

Instantly, the louder laughter echoed through the room. The seductive man also laughed while holding his stomach.

Seeing what had just happened, Isaac smiled amusedly.

'Her social skills are really great. It's not wrong that I spent 500,000 on a High Elf.'

Adelia then noticed Isaac's presence standing in the crowd of hunters. She then quickly greeted the master.

"Lord Isaac, sorry for not welcoming you properly. I didn't know you were going to visit the guild."

Isaac shook his head. "No problem. You don't have to be too polite either. Besides, call me Isaac in front of humans. I don't want people to suspect me."

Adele smiled widely. "Yes, understood."

Isaac didn't want his identity as the Dungeon Master to be exposed. If humans were to see the High Elf acting so politely towards him, of course they would be suspicious.

"Then, let's find a good place to chat. It's too noisy in here."

Adelia then showed Isaac the way. The two of them went up to the second floor, towards the guild master's office.

"So, what do you think after being both a Guild Leader and Village Chief for a few weeks?" Isaac immediately asked without beating around the bush.

"Honestly, for the first few days, I had quite a bit of trouble. But, after interacting with them for a long time, it turned out that humans were quite interesting. Many of them were interested in the mission requests from the guild. Most still choose safe missions, between level I to IV. There are only one or two people trying to take on a level VII mission."

Isaac nodded his head. "This is still the first month. I'm sure they still prefer low-level request missions. They are still playing safe. Besides that, they still haven't explored the 4th Floor. Then, what else?"

Adeline put on a subtle smile. "As you might expect, Lord. I got a lot of information from them."

Hearing that, Isaac also smiled.

The reason Isaac created the Elf Village was not only to increase the amount of traffic but also to gather information. Based on Isaac's experience in his previous life, when he visited the human bar, he heard a lot of drunk hunters boasting about their experiences while exploring the dungeons. Although some of the stories sounded like bragging, what they said had some truth in it.

From there, Isaac tried to create a tavern and guild so he could gather information from the hunters who had explored other dungeons.

That way, Isaac could analyze the enemy's defenses.

"What information have you got so far?" Isaac asked.

"Though most of the information is still mixed with rumors and stories. Out of the many stories told by humans, there is one that I heard often. Their faces all turned dark every time they talked about it."

Isaac narrowed his eyes. "About what?"

"An army of homunculus monsters in the dungeon located in Tianjin."

Instantly, Isaac raised one of his eyebrows.
