Chapter 940 Break Time

?-----

"Enough, there's no need to become so agitated about it." The Ancient Elf woman sighed. "However, this is also not something we can ignore. If there's even the possibility for one of us to betray the Order and work in conjunction with the Demon Kings, then we must find them and quickly capture them."

"But why would anybody want to do such a thing?" Wondered the silver-scaled dragon. "We are all children of the Yggdragon, we live to serve the Gods, her parents. And there is no reason to ever betray them, who have given us everything."

"Only someone insane would ever think such a thing, but can we even become insane? We are near perfect beings, closer to the gods than any other." The Majin sighed.

"But we are not perfect." Said Mercedes. "And… Well, perhaps there's something else out there?"

"Something else? What are you talking about?" Asked the silver-scaled dragon.

"Like, there must be a reason why this is happening, right? Whoever tried to betray us must've wanted to accomplish something else, something bigger, maybe? To go to such an extent just for murderous intent is weird." Said Hermes, crossing his arms. "Right?"

"Yeah, he's not wrong. There must be also something they learned." Cecilia nodded. "For a while now, there are many secrets in the surface of our world which we've never been able to access. Perhaps this person did so, and the revelation… It might have changed them."

"Of course that's all speculation of you three, it doesn't mean its true!" The Majin protested.

"With all due respect, Lord, but why are you so against the idea? If the proof is right there, then there was indeed someone that somehow weakened the seals." Elbedo spoke. "If we let such a person go loose, then the damage we could even up getting over time would become tremendous, and our entire operation, our purpose, would be endangered by this person's acts."

"So you suggest we must find them at all costs, huh?" The Majin sighed. "Alright, if you are so eager, why don't we assign this mission to you four? Might as well."

"What? To us? Only us four?" Mercedes cried. "B-But…!"

"Hm, not a bad idea. You're the ones related to this incident, so you should be familiar with the scene and find clues more easily." The blonde ancient elf woman agreed with the Majin.

"I suppose you're right." The silver-scaled dragon agreed almost instantly. "Mercedes Group, from now on you're assigned with the task of searching for the traitor that tampered with the Demon King Fragment seals and to bring them to us."

"That's… Wait a second, I don't want more work!" Cecilia complained. "At least pay us for that too!"

"You will be paid, yes. An advancement for now." The blonde elf woman nodded, waving her hand, as a glistening coin made of blue crystal materialized in front of them. "Ten thousand Refined Mana Coins for each should be enough for an advance. Also, we will pay you for the discover in your research later. That'll also be more."

"Oooh! Now you're talking!" Cecilia immediately changed her expression. She reminded me a lot of Rita, now that I think about it.

"You may also call for the help of the group of guards and servants that helped you defeat the monster too, we'll allow that." The Dragon with silver scales said.

"Now, I hope you don't disappoint us nor the gods. We will be rather busy now, so only come back once you find substantial clues." The Majin sighed. "You may leave now."

The four researchers quickly walked out of the large temple, now given a new mission.

"So we really have to do this the hard way…" Hermes sighed. "What a pain."

"Well, you were the one with the idea." Said Elbedo. "Now let's do that… Tomorrow though, I am too tired."

"Likewise, let's go eat something for now." Mercedes smiled. "I wonder how the people that helped us is doing."

"I'm sure they're fine, they went away in a hurry for some reason." Cecilia shrugged. "Let's call them later."

The quartet of researches walked through the beautiful, ancient, and busy-looking streets of the city of Cloudia, as the sun slowly set. The scenario shifted slowly around us, as more messages appeared. We were all in silence, mostly resting while attentively seeing how the story progressed. It felt like we were watching a movie.

[After having given a new mission, the researches have decided to rest for the day, while waking up the next day with enough energy to continue their mission.]

[The possibility of a "traitor" among them, or even within the city by itself was a dangerous thought, but one they couldn't leave as ambiguous anymore.]

[After a hearty breakfast, the group quickly decided to start their job, moving back to the area where their older research facility was located.]

[The Second Scenario will begin in 3 hours. For now, you're allowed to freely walk through the area outside and inside of the house of the four researchers, freely speak and interact with them, and more.]

[Once their research for the culprit begins, the Second Scenario will begin. Make sure to gather a few clues beforehand as you rest.]

[Note: Time inside of this Dungeon goes by ten times slower than the outside world.]

The moment the system windows ended appearing, we were all sent to the city, in fact, right outside of the house of the four researchers. The entire world felt so alive, I couldn't believe it was all just some sort of mirage. No, in fact, this entire Dungeon seems to work with magic very similar to Dream Magic, actually. Could this be considered something like a Dream Dungeon then? f(r)eenovelkiss.com

"W-We're here?" My daughter wondered. "Wait, this dungeon's very interactive, huh? So we can talk with people? Or we can even explore the area too!"

"There's even some sort of time dilation…" Angelina said. "I never thought this technology could do it, there were so many speculations. But it's actually possible?!"

"There are a lot of VRMMO fiction novels I read with time dilation between game and real world, but I can't believe its real." Gandalf said.

"Well, for now, shall we greet the researchers first?" I knocked the door, as Mercedes greeted us.

"Oh, it's you guys! Welcome, please enter."
