"Are you even listening?" Simon called out.
As if she suddenly got startled, her body jolted and she hurriedly removed her hands "W… wha… o-of course I'm listening… ahahaha, what are you afraid about? I'll just smash anyone that cos in between my objective of finding my disciple. It's only a small kingdom at the extre north-western corner of the Central Continent".
Her boastful words sounded out and her tone was full of arrogance but Simon did not doubt it since he was aware of how powerful this abnormal monster that has the form of a doll like little girl was.
"Hehe, now that we don't have anything to do, why don't we go and roam around this city a little more… I want to see what other delicacies they have here" Adalinda gulped as she looked around at her surroundings with stars in her eyes. She did not even try to hide her objective which was to try out various foods.
Simon followed behind, his eyes were awkward, this girl sotis behaves very maturely and sotis acts just like a girl of her age should.
The way she acted like everything near her, was brand new to her made Simon wonder the reason behind her disciple running out of her ho. Was it not because she was bored of being holed up sowhere? This Master and disciple clearly had a similar fun-seeking disposition.
Nevertheless, Simon who had been spent most of his in the Ghastly winding forest after reincarnating, was also quite interested in this city that was so close to his dungeon.
He tagged along with Adalinda and explored every place the city had to offer. This way, he was also able to learn bits and pieces of information from the average inhabitants of this place.
He was quite surprised when he heard the talk of the town was mostly about the dungeon that had suddenly occurred at the eastern region of the forest. Even the ores and herbs that were flowing in the market, Simon recalled that they were sothing that had grown inside his dungeon.
He flashed a satisfied smile when so adventurers were praising so highly about his dungeon. From these pieces of information, he also beca aware of the guilds that were currently focusing on tackling his dungeon.
Among them, the Blinding Arrow Guild was viewed as the most well-known and top guild around here. Simon wasn't particularly worried about this guild conquering his dungeon since the information that he got from the informant, told him that the guild was a newly created one and its guild master has only gone through 3 class changes.
Similar to the rank system of the demon nobles, human too have their structure through which their strength is classified.
A person gains their first-ever class when they reach a certain level and depending on how they have lived their life or the distribution of their stats or based on their constitution, they receive an appropriate class.
This class can be further upgraded or changed when the person reaches a higher level and depending on their bloodline, can gain a rare or powerful class.
After reaching level 50, the class can be changed again once one reaches level 100 and can gain new classes after every successive 100 levels. Therefore, the more class changes that you go through, the powerful you are likely to be.
While this trend is mostly common, it only applies to normal classes. Rare classes have their own trend and depending on the rarity of the class, the class change could co after successive 100 levels, 150 or even later.
Although a rare class is hard to level up, the power and strength they provide are incomparable to a normal class. For comparison, a level 250 person who has a rare class can fight with so who has a common class multiple levels above him. That is especially so when one gains powerful skills thanks to their rare class.
In the society of the humans, those who acquire a rare class, are respected and seen favourably by the world. Hence all the people greatly covet and envy those that acquire rare classes.
While it is true that a rare class is highly regarded, it is also equally hard to acquire one unless one has a strong bloodline passed down through their ancestry. Those people that are able to acquire a rare class are one in thousands of people.
Although having a rare class is an indicator of strength, it is not always necessarily true. If one does not put sufficient effort to level their class, it is more likely for these people to forever remain in the sa class without ever going through a class change in their lives.
Additionally, rare class is just a broad term that incorporates all the powerful classes. It is likely that so classes are more powerful than other rare classes even when they all fall in the sa rare category.
For example, the informant that told him about the rare class, also told him about the [Phantom Night Assassin] class held by one of the top adventurers of this kingdom, Raven.
According to him, the [Phantom Night Assassin] is much stronger than its identical [Rogue Night Assassin] class even though they are classified in the sa level category in the rare class.
This information was not a secret in this kingdom as it made a huge commotion in the capital and all the surrounding regions when this news was revealed. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the adventurer nad Raven had beco quite the idol amongst the adventurers and citizens of this kingdom and a strong deterrent for any foe.
From this information Simon more or less understood how powerful the class systems of the humans were. He could deduct that the guild leader of the Blinding Arrow guild who had only gone three class changes, was around the sa level as Chuck more or less.
Even if they successfully manage to conquer upper floors, it is likely that even this guild would have a tough ti clearing the lower floors. That was especially so when it ca to floors below 25th floor.
The lower floors were not only imnsely big, but also had nurous strong monsters roaming around.
Well, even in the likely case that so strong adventurers do arrive in his dungeon, there is still Irene the Guardian appointed by the dungeon and the Lightning Draconic Serpent, one of the three overlords of the north.
Ti flowed quickly and befoe long two days had already passed. During these two days, Simon gathered as much information about the kingdom and his surroundings as he could.
From the information he got, the Kingdom bordering the Ghastly Winding Forest was called the Kingdom of Ellesre. It was located at the far north-western corner of the central continent that borders with the demon continent.
At one point in ti in history, it was the battleground where the human and demon nobles had waged many wars but after the peace treaty that was signed thousands of years ago, the land began to flourish and many kingdoms were built.
During this period of two days, Simon was also led all around the city of Mountnd in search of delicious food.

The ti was early in the morning, thick mist lingered around the city obscuring vision to so extent. The sky was clouded and the sun was yet to rise. Cold wind blew across the empty street and only a few people could be seen intermittently walking down the path.
At this mont, the city was yet to wake, however, the eastern gate of the city was unusually noisy. A convoy of well-crafted wagons could be seen lining up on a corner and the bustling sounds of activity rang out.
At the centre of this wagon was a lavishly built carriage that had an emblem drawn on it which made it easy to identify who it belonged to.
Who else could the luxurious lineup of the wagons belonged to other than the Serene Palace rchant Guild? Currently, a group of ard soldiers carrying silver pikes, were surrounding the convoy of carriage and standing at guard, their eyes constantly scanning the area.
When they saw the shadow of two people coming over, they hurriedly raised their pike and shouted in warning. "You two there don't co any closer. State your nas and the purpose of your visit".
The figures shrouded in the early morning mist, stopped their approach before the tall young man replied in a sowhat indifferent voice.
"We are the adventurers that are hired for this job. We have been told to arrive at the eastern gate early in the morning where the caravans would be".
Hearing the explanation, the guard that seed to be the leader stepped in front of the two and extended his hand "In that case show your adventurer's card".
The young man wearing a black robe in the front, swiftly took out a card passed it to the guard wearing silver armour. When the leader of the guard shifted his attention on the card, he couldn't help but frown when he read the three words 'Provisional Adventurer's Card'.
"You two are provisionary adventurers?" he asked looking at the two of them.
"That's right" the young man replied with a smile.
The guard leader's eyes beca dark as he sternly shouted "Young man… go back. This mission is not for newbie adventurers to ddle in.. If you want to gain experience and increase your level, seek so other tasks, the one this ti is very risky and might even cost you your life".
