In the end, they reached the Vanguard dungeon town after just seven hours, Billy was certain that they could have traveled fifteen hundred kilometers in just six, but they had to stop several times since it was a bit hard to travel at night.
Gilles still recalled that it took his group two weeks you travel that distance, so he was having a hard time believing that they truly were back in that place. Nevertheless, now that Billy had confirmed how fast and efficient his vehicle was, he probably could often visit the dungeon towns. In any case, he only spent around twenty percent of the one hundred liters of fuel that he had prepared. So, he could do the two ways by using the juice that he could get with the fruits his trees could bear in just four days.
"The guild isn't open at this time, so we will have to wait until morning," Billy said. "I will need their help with some things. In the meantime, I will use the dungeon, what are you going to do?"
"... I suppose that I will tag along," Gilles said. "Technically, work for you and you will need some help to deal with the bodies of the monsters."
"Technically, huh," Billy said. "Well, you have a point."
Billy learned that his fuel and vehicle were quite good. Still, he was planning to use those to make many more people escape, and they couldn't travel dozens of kilometers overnight, so that efficiency would decrease a lot. So, he will make another group make the fuel for him... he will have to spend a lot of money buying the fruits, so he has to work in the dungeon to make that money.
To make sure that things would be as efficient as possible, Billy just fired some Earth Bullets at the monster's heads. Thanks to the level of Earth Manipulation, they died instantly, and Billy barely used five points of mana.
Gilles wondered why Billy had two spears but didn't use any of them. They were quite weird, so they had been forged by him, it was evident. The youth in front of him was full of mysteries, and Gilles recalled that Jeannette was almost the same. The only difference was that since from an early age, she didn't interact much with others. She avoided them as much as possible,... or so Gilles had heard.
In any case, Billy had to work hard since he knew that all of Billy's actions had a meaning behind them. Thanks to that, Billy had made quite a bit of money before sunrise. Once that was done, he showed up at the guild, and the receptionist frowned since there was no message about that. Regardless, Billy asked her to find some people that had experience using the Edist fruit, and he also told her to buy as many as possible every day. Once that was done, he returned to the dungeon again.
"You can rest in the guild if you want, there are some people here who will help me with that," Billy said. "We will depart at night."
"I will help since this is for the people of my land," Gilles said.
"If you want to help, then you should draw a good map of your state,” Billy said. "We can't afford to make any mistakes or waste any time, after all."
Drawing a map of state was something quite dangerous since it would give the edge of some over them. Knowing the best routes, the best places to attack... All those things made a lot of difference in times of war. Still, Gilles, after living with the people of Hiloh state, realized that they had no wish to conquer other states. Jean didn't even have a son, so his position would only pass to a random niece. He was more than content with what he had... Unlike Jeannette.
"All right," Gilles said.
As expected, Gilles was someone who knew about the layout of Toles state, so things would be easier with his help. Not to mention, he was pretty famous, so it will be easy to convince the immigrants that they would be treated well. In any case, during the day, Billy met several parties inside the dungeon, and most of them belonged to the group of students that were trained by his friends. It seems that they had come regularly over the last few weeks for whatever reason, so his income will improve again.
"I suppose this will help a little bit," Billy thought.
Billy was thinking that perhaps he should also clear the new dungeon. He probably would become filthy rich if he did that, but he didn't have time... In any case, during the day, Billy wondered what he should do to transport as many people as possible. The obvious answer would be to make some other carts and attach them to the most potent one. With that much power, it should be able to pull several carts and dozens of people.. For a short while...
"This time, I won't have to worry about that, but I guess once we are done with the first town, I will continue the tunnels toward the Toles state.." Billy thought. "If they use it to reach the dungeon town, I will save time and mana."
Around the time of sunset, Billy met Gilles, and he showed him the map. Apparently, he just made a copy of the one he left at home... The real one, he even drew the roads that they could use. Naturally, the towns and cities were marked as well.
"Which places near the border do you think we will face fewer guards?" Billy asked.
"Here, here, and here," Gilles said.
"Why those places?" Billy asked.
"They are small town, hence few guards will be found there," Gilles said. "I suppose we can't just take everyone without alerting them..."
"Those who have been brainwashed will have to die, but the others... I suppose we can capture them in order to avoid letting rumors spread,” Billy said..
