"Is it you, Rose? You may come in." Arriving at the guild master's door, he looked a little dismayed. I can imagine how he's feeling right now, losing so many powerful and promising adventurers.
Wait, we haven't confirmed their deaths yet. Don't think of something like that, that's a lack of respect.
"So how's it going?" As soon as I walked in, I asked directly how your little investigation. He had already gathered some information from the adventurers who had visited the dungeon, but it still wasn't enough.
"I've spoken with five guild masters that I have contact with, and none of them have ever heard of a dungeon that disappears like this. Even more, dungeons that swallow adventurers and disappear."
"I see, there's no record anywhere about a dungeon-like this?"
"No, in any document or book I've looked at, something like this has never been cited, it's something completely new."
"And soon our adventurers found this dungeon, is that luck or bad luck?"
"I think it's bad luck, now our level of adventurers has decreased even more. Losing an A-rank group is something no guild would want to go through." The guild master was serious, but he looked calmer than before.
"I understand."
"But it's also lucky, as we've cataloged a new "species" of the dungeon. The masters I communicated about this seemed surprised and amazed that we found something like this."
"..."
"But when I said that the dungeon had disappeared along with a large number of adventurers, and even an A-rank group, they were all very nervous and surprised."
"I can understand them."
"Now that the dungeon it disappeared, we'll have to go after it again to find the adventurers again, but where did this dungeon go? Is your entrance even opened elsewhere?"
"Do you think it might be disappeared forever?"
"It's a possibility. Perhaps the adventurers have been swallowed up and will never be able to leave, but also the dungeon can open up somewhere else allowing them to leave, I don't know what to think now."
"You should take a rest. After that, have a meeting together with the other guild masters, after that you will think about what to do. If all the guilds get together to look for this dungeon, maybe we'll find it."
"Could be, I'm too tired for today. But before I rest, I'll go downstairs to talk a little with the adventurers, because it doesn't look like they're going to calm down."
The screams of adventurers continued downstairs. As the guild is open 24 hours a day, this would become a hassle for everyone, especially for the guild master who lives here.
After that, the guild master went downstairs with me and had a frank chat with all the adventurers. In the presence of the guild master, all adventurers were immediately quiet.
The guild master made it very clear that everything would start to be investigated and that he would try to bring all adventurers back. But he was saying it all in a kind of threatening tone, so all the adventurers didn't dare say anything.
After that, most of the adventurers went to their respective homes and the guild returned to its previous lull, I deeply thanked the guild master for that.
####
A few days had passed since all that had happened. Some adventurers visited the place where the dungeon was every day, but it did seem to have disappeared along with the adventurers and there was no sign that it would appear in that place again.
At that time, the guild master had contacted the guild masters of many cities neighboring the capital. He had only contacted masters from the country of Southlein, as it had happened here he would not involve the guilds of other countries.
Not for now.
Today was the day the guild masters would arrive in the capital.
"Rieli, could you please inform the adventurers of the arrival of the masters? I want all adventurers out by two o'clock in the afternoon. The guild will be closed during the meeting."
"Right."
This was a request from the guild master, as he didn't want anyone to overhear his conversation. And he didn't want any noise that could disturb him either.
Then Rieli gave the warning to everyone in the guild and then the adventurers started to retreat. Now it was still one o'clock in the afternoon, so all the masters would start arriving.
As the cities were at different distances, they had to plan very well. Apparently, some of them came earlier and were already in the capital but they haven't come to the guild yet.
"What will the other masters be like? Are they all old like our guild master?" Rieli approached. She seemed excited about the visit of all the guild masters, and I confess I was too.
The only master I had the pleasure of meeting was Royma, who was a half-elf woman and a guild master from the town of Tineever which is a two-day from the capital. She visited our guild a few times.
Besides her, I didn't meet any of the other masters, so I was also excited.
From there we started to wait for everyone, apparently, five guild masters would come. We were at the guild door as we had to respectfully welcome them, or that's what the guild master said.
But only me and Rieli were here, the other employees had been laid off for today.
####
After we waited some more time, the first one to show up was Royma, it was a big coincidence.
"Hello Rose, how are you?" She entered the guild wearing tight black pants and a white shirt that emphasized her breasts. She had very large breasts despite having elven blood, this is rare.
"Royma, how long haven't I seen you, how are you?" I spoke to her a little more intimately as I knew her, Rieli wasn't that intimate, so she was a little nervous.
"Nothing much has happened lately, to tell the truth, my work is pretty boring these days. The city is very calm and few adventurers are signing up, in a few years we will be in trouble."
She suddenly started talking about the state of her guild.
"We are also not receiving many applications. But now let's leave the conversation to one side, the guild master is waiting upstairs. Rieli, take her to the room."
"Right!" Rieli took Royma with her to the room where the meeting would take place. The guild master was already there waiting.
I continued to wait for a while longer until the guild master from the city of Kilmeadan arrived. This city was the furthest from the capital among the guild masters who would come today.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Kevjen." He was a tall and very muscular man. He had white hair and also a long white beard. His face looked like that of an old dwarf, but he was very tall, it was an interesting contrast.
"It's a pleasure, where is that old man?" He got right to the point.
"He's upstairs, can you wait for the receptionist to come back-" Before I could finish, he ignored me and headed straight for the stairs, what an impatient guy.
After that, there are three masters left to arrive, and they started to arrive one after the other.
The first was called Nathlau and was a human who commanded the guild of Hvaleyri, it was a city that is about three days' journey from the capital. He was a bald man and had a pretty normal body, from what I heard from the guild master he is very weak physically, but very strong using magic.
The second to appear was also a woman, she was the guild master of the city called Reynivellir which was very close to Hvaleyri.
She was a tall, charming woman with long brown hair. She seemed to enjoy playing with her hair all the time.
A, and her name was Clana.
And the last person to show up was a man who looked a lot like our guild master. He was also a little short and old. He had plenty of wrinkles on his face and had white hair and a white beard.
His name was Holfer and he was guild master of a town called Geirseyri. It was a city that was almost 6 days away from the capital, it was very far. But he seems to have arrived pretty quickly using a unique means of transport.
I have no idea what this means of transport is, but I was very interested.
But now that all the masters had arrived, it was time to start the guild masters meeting about the new dungeon found.
