Volume 6 Chapter 71: 

When Keith returned home, the others hounded him again with questions. Keith took a big sigh, "Come on, guys! Do you really have to question me every time this happens?!" At this point, they should know the drill.  

"That's because you have such a tight lip!" "We need to question you to get some answers!" The others weren't having that! Keith would keep it to his grave if they didn't ask anything!

While they continued questioning him, Diana entered the room and said, "Keith, you got a letter." 

"Hmm? Is it from my family?" William had been sending him letters. Well, it was mostly Leon and Laura talking about things. But Mir was a faster messenger. He would talk about them to him. 

"No, it's not from your family. It's from the adventurer's guild." 

"From the guild?" This was a surprise. The guild usually didn't hand letters to people. Keith opened the letter, and the others looked over his shoulders. 

"I see." 

"Madison," Keith arrived at the guild hall the next day. Heading to Madison, "What do you guys need me for?" What does the guild want from me? The letter had told him to arrive at the guild by tomorrow. 

Madison nodded, "The vice-guild master said he wanted me with you." Her expression turned stern, "And from how he said it, it seemed this situation was serious." Kaiser went up to tell her this. That expression was something. 

"I see," Keith nodded as he followed Madison. The two arrived in front of a door. Knocking on the door,

"Who is it?" 

"Vice-guild master, it's Madison. Keith is here." "Please come in." Madison opened the door to let him in. She gave him a glance, wishing him luck. Kaiser gestured, 

"Please sit down. We have some things we need to discuss."

"We do?" There were things they needed to discuss? 

"Is it really that surprising?" Kaiser chuckled. 

"Mmhmm," Keith didn't lie as he nodded. 

"Keith, there's something I want you to do." "Hmm?"

"I want you to join a dungeon expedition." "Eh?" Keith's expression changed. To join a dungeon exploration?

"Recently, we were notified about an entrance of a new dungeon." Kaiser was surprised by this. 

"I'm taking that there something's wrong with this dungeon?" A dungeon popping up shouldn't be a surprise. Judging from how Kaiser reacted, something was wrong with this one. 

"Mmhmm. This one seemed to be strong." "I see." If it was weak, then there was nothing to worry about. Kaiser could send some adventurers there to deal with it. However, a dangerous one would change things. 

Kaiser continued, "I'm planning to send a group of adventurers to explore the dungeon first and determine its rank."

"And you want me to be part of this group?" "Mmhmm."

"I have one question; why me?" That was something Keith needed clarification on. He was only a C-rank adventurer. That was in the middle of the pack. Plus, he was green. If he was going to send someone, it should be one with a higher rank. 

"Of course, if it were the norm, I wouldn't send a lone C-rank with the parties." There was no way Kaiser would do something like that. "However, your skills are higher than those of a C-rank." That was something he knew for sure.

Even if he didn't see Keith in action, he heard rumors. The ability to use a Grand-level magic. His rank was at least B.

"Regarding skill and calmness, you are definitely not in C-rank." Keith's handling of Mork and the others was different. He kept a level head under accusation and forced the truth out. 

"I see." Keith nodded. 

Kaiser continued, "The exploration's goal is to figure out what level the dungeon is." That was the main priority. If they couldn't figure it out, they could accidentally send low-level adventurers to their deaths. 

"And you can keep anything you obtained from the dungeon as well." 

"I still have to think about this." Keith shook his head. 

Kaiser wasn't mad but looked understanding. "I understand. Please take some time to think about this. We'll be heading out in a week."

"I understand." Keith nodded as he left the office. Hearing his footsteps get further away,

"What do you think about him?" Kaiser asked. 

"The kid got a good head on his shoulders." A rugged demon kin came out from the side door, "He wasn't charmed by the loot or the fame." 

"If he was, then I wouldn't be curious about him." A chuckle came out of Kaiser. It was a test to see what kind of character Keith had. Kaiser had added the loot part at the end to check on Keith. Fame and fortune were important. However, that should be the secondary.

"But having someone like that on the expedition would be nice." "I will be counting on you if he joins." Kaiser smiled. 

"Don't worry, I will." The man nodded as he walked out of the room.
