Rebirth of the Strongest Dungeon Master-Chapter 72 Unwritten Agreement

After four weeks, the 4th Floor was completely finished.

"Finally, it done!"

From the Crystal Core projection screen, Pippi seemed to lie down on the green grass. The light hit her face along with the shadows from the leaves of the trees. f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮

Then, Isaac smiled broadly. He was satisfied with the results his assistant had created.

"Lord, Pippi's job is done. Is there any other task you want me to do?"

Isaac was silent for a moment. "There isn't any for now. You can rest. And if you want to meet your new bear family, I've already stationed them in the south."

Pippi's eyes opened wide. "Is that true?"

"Yes."

She jumped to her feet. "Thank you, Lord."

Then, the little girl quickly ran happily to meet her new bear family.

Actually, Isaac still had one job for Pippi. However, after seeing his assistant had done a good job in creating the dungeon and with the expected results; he thought it was worth giving her a gift.

Isaac had principles in managing his men.

"Always reward the slaves after achieving a great result. That way, they would work harder."

Ding!

A notification sounded in his head. When Isaac looked at notification he smiled widely.

[A request to talk from Baron Loke.]

"They must be so desperate to recruit lower rank demons."

Isaac was silent for a moment, not rushing to refuse or accept the request. He tried to recall the events of the second year.

'I'm sure there's nothing special other than Red Night and the Easter Egg Hunt events. It must be about the hotzone.'

He had to be careful in every action he took. Since the dungeon break, several events beyond his past memories had appeared. For example, Aditya Khumar, who had the nickname the Dark Physician, instead of the Doctor with the Hand of God.

If he took a step far different from his past, or tried to create new events, the future would be different from his previous life.

Isaac was aware of this consequence. From the beginning, he really wanted to change the future. The path he took also had to be different.

He had already known many of the secrets of this game; legendary items, monster weaknesses, and even the characteristics of the demons. He simply worked harder and took one step forward.

Even so, he had to remain vigilant when it came to dealing with the Duke. Right now, he still couldn't face them.

"Let's see what game they will play." ｆ𝓇𝘦ℯ𝙬𝑒𝐛n𝐨νe𝙡.c𝑜𝗺

Isaac accepted the call.

Then, the light of the Crystal Core grew brighter, projecting a man with black hair and a pale face. Baron Loke still showed the same aura as when he met the demon at the auction.

Isaac quickly put on a friendly smile, as did Baron Loke. The two demons started playing their show.

"Look at our Baron this one. He's been working really hard lately. Luckily, we demons can't feel tired easily."

Isaac widened his smile. "Even if we get tired easily, we have to keep working hard."

"Only a few Barons have managed to upgrade to the 4th Floor so far. I have to admit, you are wonderful, Lord Constantine."

The smile on Isaac's face faded slightly. From the compliment, he realized that he was being watched.

Then, the conversation started rolling. Baron Loke spoke politely and joked a few times. Behind his friendliness, he tucked in some questions to seek information.

"What are the majority of your monsters?"

"During the auction, what did you buy?"

"How much zenny do you get in a month?"

All the interrogative questions were wrapped in sweet words and friendly expressions.

Baron Loke wanted to find his weakness.

It was easy enough for Isaac to figure that out. One principle that Isaac applied in this second round game, never trusted anyone. especially to a demon who suddenly acted nice.

The nicer one's attitude, the more dangerous the hidden intentions they hid.

"So, Lord Constantine, have you considered joining us? We are looking forward to your answer."

Isaac raised an eyebrow. His guess was correct. Lord Loke still wanted to recruit him.

During the auction, Isaac never showed himself making contact with any other demons. Even after the auction was over, he didn't show himself to any other demons apart from Alyna and her two men.

Baron Loke still thought that Isaac had not established a cooperative relationship with anyone.

'Ho… this is getting more and more interesting. There's one thing I need to confirm again.'

Isaac smirked.

"But Lord Loke, to be honest, I am far from worthy of joining your alliance. You know, my dungeon has a bad history."

Baron Loke spontaneously arched his eyebrows. He was quite surprised by Isaac's humble answer.

He then laughed. "Lord Isaac, I've always believed, every demon deserves a second chance. And you've proven it. You have conquered four human cities and killed many humans. You have a fairly wide area of ??power."

Isaac smirked. Now, he was sure that Lord Loke really wanted to recruit him.

"You are exaggerating, Lord Loke. I can't even conquer a single city. The humans even repelled my warriors."

"Or you did it on purpose."

Instantly, the smile on Isaac's face disappeared. That demon really read him.

While Baron Loke smiled. "Listen, Lord Isaac. I don't mean to be your enemy. Honestly, I admire. You know how to keep a low profile and not attract attention. You use your resources perfectly. I want us to be on the same side."

Isaac was silent for a moment. He tried to think of what his enemy wanted and how he could take advantage of the situation.

'Let's remember, what did Duke Barbatos want?'

Isaac replayed the memory in his head like a movie.

In his previous life, Duke Barbatos was obsessed with Mongolia.

The demons had an unwritten agreement in the game. Every territory that had been attacked, became part of the power of the demon who conquered it.

It was the same when Isaac attacked Hunchun, Songbon, Ranson, and Vladistosvok. The city became his territory unofficially. The demons would be reluctant to farm in the area.

If a demon invaded an area that was already taken over by other demons, it was the same as asking for a war.

This would often happen after entering the third year of the game.
