"And that is how I became Lahav's living weapon", Jeremy concluded his story, "then I just waited for you guys and practiced before Julian showed and messed everything up again", the dragon seemed different, "Ashashit fought the king of the forest and his party cheated", the fresh memory of those last few seconds still hurt him deep inside, "then they caught me and tried to torture me to give them my money and Lahav showed up kicking their asses", Allen was a good listener, "but they disengaged and the whole party gathered back together just before you showed up", it was a very abridged version but he needed time to go through his memory if he wanted to go to more details.
"I understand how you used flight and 'treasure map' to find them", he didn't but the third explanation was worse than the second, "I don't understand why you did it".
Allen beckoned one of the 'customers' and she almost ran to them, "after I met Yamu", the girl beamed a toothy smile, "she told me there were dangerous robbers in the dungeon", sounding dramatic, "then I found out she needed money and made her my second customer", very pleased with himself, "the system gave me a quest to gather more customers and I filled it with these nice available subject", looking around the crowd, "after the first quota was done It extended to more and again after that", reading something on his display, "I need five hundred customers for my next level business owner and three hundred for the banker quest", seeming sad, "but there isnt anyone else in the dungeon to add to my business", reading something else, "if I approach the other Players that weren't robbed they just call me a monster and attack me".
Sending Yamu away he looked for someone else, "ah Meshuma went to escort the rude people away", adding, "I had to set up security when our group grew larger because it drew monsters to our location and I didn't want to fight them all the time", answering Jeremy's unasked question, "I can hire parties to do quests and jobs for my business and security is a bank applicable job".
None of that information answered Jeremy's question but he sighed because hearing another version with other Players called into the roles wouldn't get him anywhere.
"What are you going to do now?" Was a new question that might at least get more helpful information.
"I need to go back to the Kobold capital", wasn't what Jeremy would have guessed, "adding the new business owner job removed the dragon behavioral blockers and I could remember other things than just my treasure and fighting", looking around again, "I wish Kyatha was back already so we could leave"

"Maybe something happened to her?" Jeremy said absentmindedly, "it is still a dungeon", then addind, "even if most of it is guild patrolled and maintained at low levels some parts are still pretty dangerous", looking behind him at the rolling hills, "the pass is a good example as its linked to the mountain you see in the distance and that is a top level dungeon for very powerful and experienced players"
"She said there was a safe way out somewhere over there", Allen pointed to where Jeremy was looking, "do you know how far it is from here?"
"Shit" Jeremy spat, "that's not a safe zone it's the connection between the dungeons", thinking back, "no one survives the pass alone for a week", remembering the avatar she was using, "we have to go find her", adding "if she is in binge survival mode for three days it could be very dangerous to her real world health"
"Sutul" Allen cried out and the man came over, "I have to go find a friend", he explained the call, "you are in charge until I return"
"Fine" came the dry alluring answer.
"Man what is wrong with you?", Jeremy accused, "you have one of the greatest legacy avatars I never heard of and you act like everything is crap"
"Fuck you foxman I dont owe you an explanation", came the bitter reply.
"Leave her", Allen said dismissing the obviously male avatar, "she blames herself for her friend's sacrifices" as if that gave anyone the right to be an asshole.
"When the first monster waves came she gathered everyone into formations", explaining further, "she utilised everyone to their maximum potential and we only had a few light wounded from a very dangerous attack", adding, "in the morning I hired her as the head of human resources in my business", on a final note, "she knows her job so just leave her alone"
A gazebo appeared on Allen's back out of nowhere, "its my palanquin", he explained, "I can equip it when I need to carry someone", then added "I also have this"
Jeremy gaped, "where did you get this?", looking at the heavy high tech armor from some scify story complete with lazer cannons and blinking lights covering the already formidable monster and turning it to a veritable machine of wanton devastation, most of the bulges and crystal domes made no sense, he never heard or read of anything like it.
"After Hatula helped me figuring some computer stuff I decided to try and make it", then added, "regaining my mind helped a lot with the design and repuposing of different parts", closing his eyes the palanquin replaced the monstrocity, "I didnt want to get hurt like when that siege cannon hit me".
"Ok" Jeremy choked, "so you decided to annihilate the pirates", no other possible explanation came to his mind, the dragon made a functioning space marine armor for a dragon in the middle of a dungeon while gathering over a hundred stray children, overwhelmed wasnt close to discribe how he fealt as he was gently nudged into the palanquin and the dragon took to the air, the seats were actually comfortable and the construction prevented the wind from blowing inside so he just stared as the goliaths pass moved below him.
