24 DISCUSSION

Derek opened his eyes and looked around the small room. He stood up and stretched, letting out a deep breath in the process before checking the system for the time. They should be awake. Might as well go get this meeting business over with early. Derek opened the door and headed to the bar.

Bart was wiping the bar down with a rag, and there was a young woman setting the tables and moving the chairs into their positions. Derek walked over to Bart, and the man looked up. “You wouldn’t by any chance have coffee, would you?” Derek asked.

Bart looked at him questioningly. “Coffee? Never heard of it.”

“Damn, figures. You got any boiling water?” Derek asked.

“Of course.” Bart walked to the back and brought back a steaming kettle-like pot. He sat it on a cloth on top of the bar.

Derek let out a sigh. “Beggars can’t be choosers,” he muttered. Then he brought out a small pot and a coffee canister from his bracelet. He poured the water into the pan and scooped some coffee grains into it. He immediately covered the pot with a lid. While camping back on Earth, he had made coffee like this many times. It wasn’t the best or cleanest way to make coffee, but it got the job done.

While he was doing all of this, Bart was staring at him with confusion in his eyes. Derek laughed. “Got a couple of cups?” he asked. Bart nodded and walked to the back again, bringing out what looked like a bigger version of a teacup.

While waiting, Derek asked Bart a couple of questions. “So, what are people saying about me?”

Bart looked up from the pot. “Mostly nice things. I think I’m the first local that’s met ya. It’s mostly the villagers you brought in that talk about ya. How you saved them and brought them here.”

I guess Leon or the others haven’t said anything about the Void Beast yet. I guess that’s good. “The only person I really saved was Leon. I think Marshall would have bested the wolf that attacked them,” Derek lied. “They probably could have made it here without much danger.”

“Did you really give a little girl a bunch of high-level hides?” Bart asked.

“I mean, I gave her hides, but they aren’t really high level. The highest was around 70.”

“Ha. Level 70 and not a high level.” Bart scoffed. “A level 70 could become a silver-ranked adventurer at the Adventurer’s Guild in the city. We’ll be lucky to get a couple of level 70s for this dungeon problem in the forest.”

“Oh? You know about the dungeon?” Derek was surprised. He thought that Rayna and the others would keep quiet about it until they knew for sure.

“I know about it. And a few others outside of Chief Rayna and Richard know about it, including you. That’s all, though. I guess you could consider me an elder in this place,” Bart answered.

Well, if some level 70s go to the dungeon, I guess there will be fewer adventurers in this Adventurer’s Guild.
