Ning went around the city of Seoul with Ely. He went to some restaurants and had some delicious meals.
Ely was lacking some clothes, and she didn't want Ning to make any for her. She wanted the feeling of finding new things while shopping, so the two of them went on a shopping spree.
"When do we get our house ready?" Ely asked while going through some clothes.
"As soon as the director speeds up the land transfer. We should be getting the land within the next 2 days, and then I can make the house in less than a day. It's just a bunch of design work anyway. The system will do the rest," Ning said.
"Let me know about the design. I want to create some artifacts integrated into the house," Ely said.
"Sure, that works too," Ning said.
They spent nearly 5 hours in the city of Seoul before returning to their uncle's house.
"Blue, Night, Sorlus, Saph, you guys want to go on an adventure?" Ning asked.
"Yes, master. I've been bored sitting here for the last 2 months," Sorlus said, almost pleadingly.
"Ooh, another Dungeon? Let's go," Saphandra said happily.
Blue and Night had only heard about the dungeon and had never seen its inside, so they were very curious about it as well.
"Alright, let's go."
The 6 of them teleported at once and arrived at the southern side of Berlin, Germany. The Dungeon department was set up near a river in the north of Potsdam, so Ning and the rest had to walk there.
Ely looked around at the different men and women that spoke a language that she did not understand at all.
"Oh, this is weird," she said to herself. It had been a very, very long time since she had heard a language she did not understand at all.
Even Korean was something she learned by herself through Ning's help, so she had never experienced it beforehand at all.
He touched a small necklace that was hidden in her clothes and activated it. Suddenly, she could hear everything around her and understood it perfectly.
At the same time, the other 3 beasts did the same as well.
Saphandra was the only one that did not need this as the System directly translated anything and everything Ning heard for her.
"You guys been to Germany before?" Ning asked Sorlus and Saphandra.
"No, this is my first time," Saphandra said. "We never left the house after all."
"Great, this is my first time as well," Ning said. "What about you Ely?"
"I may have come here before, but I was very small at the time," she said. "I don't even have a memory of it, despite what you gave me."
"Hmm, well, let's treat this as your first time as well," Ning said.
They arrived at the German Dungeon Department headquarters and walked inside.
The place here looked more sophisticated than anything in South Korea. It was definitely more expensive for sure.
He walked on top of the marble floor and arrived in front of a receptionist. "Hello, I'm here to meet the Director of this place," he said.
"I'm sorry sir, the department hasn't opened just yet. Please wait for an hour or two," she said.
"Oh? Is the director not here? I thought he would have arrived given that he was notified of my visit," Ning said.
The woman looked up curiously. "The director has come, but he won't be see— AH!" she screamed suddenly as she realized who she was looking at. "Are you… the Apostles Ning?" she asked.
Ning smiled. "I am, and I'm here to meet the director."
"I'm so sorry for not recognizing you. Please, forgive me. I will notify the director right away," she said and was already on the phone.
A moment later, hurried footsteps came from the hallway to the right as many figures, all important for sure, walked out with surprised looks.
"Apostle Ning, welcome," one of the men said. "I am the director of this dungeon."
A translator tried to translate his words, but Ning stopped him.
"Hello," he said and shook his hand. "Thank you for welcoming me."
The director was a little surprised and smiled. "I didn't know you knew German," he said.
"I know many things," Ning said.
The director smiled in response. He was a short and bald man, but he was definitely not a nobody. From the handshake alone, Ning could tell that he was at least an A-ranked hunter in terms of strength.
He quickly introduced everyone to Ning and Ning shook hands with everyone too. There were ministers, generals, and even 3 Apostles that had come to see him and talk with him.
"I'm sorry you had to come here by yourself. How did you come here though? I had people stationed at the airport for your arrival. I wasn't made aware that you had landed already," he said.
"Oh, I didn't come within any vehicle. I have better methods myself," Ning said.
"I see, please let's go talk in my office," the director said. Everyone around him was incredibly respectful to Ning, not out of tradition, but as a necessity.
Since Ning was most likely their only solution to the current predicament, they couldn't afford to offend him at all.
"You guys want to stay outside for a while? I will be right back," Ning said.
"Sure, go inside. I don't think there's much for us to do there anyway," Ely said and sent him away.
Ning walked along with the director and ministers and many important governmental figures.
Ning arrived at their office which was a long room with a long table. Ning was made to sit on the longer side of the table, while the director sat opposite to him.
"Thank you for coming here," the director said. "You have no idea what it means to us now that you have accepted our offer."
"Of course," Ning said. "I'm sorry for not coming earlier. I could have saved some life from being wasted. Unfortunately, I was busy and didn't know about this until now."
"It is unfortunate," the director said. "But as they say, it's better late than never."
