The negotiations with Baron Wilhelm had opened an unexpected opportunity for the Adventurer Guild.
Within a week of the preliminary agreement, several additional dungeon owners contacted Kingsford Headquarters, requesting discussions about transferring management rights to the Guild.
Some offered long-term operating contracts, while others proposed selling their existing rights outright. A few even suggested partnerships involving the construction of additional facilities around their dungeon entrances.
For Sage, however, the sudden increase in proposals was not necessarily a reason for celebration.
Every dungeon represented a potential source of revenue, but it also carried financial obligations, operational responsibilities, and risks that could become expensive if handled carelessly.
That morning, he summoned Irene, Garran, Marcelline, Tobias, and Boren to review the available opportunities.
A collection of maps and financial statements covered the conference table.
