<h4>Chapter 537 Future of the dungeon (1) </h4>


    In the end, the adventurers and mercenaries weren''t able to open up this door.


    They had no choice but to give up on this since there was nothing else that they could do.


    I had given them the chance to try and open it, so they couldn''t keep insisting on staying here since it was still a dangerous ce.


    But I had already made a decision that I would being back here in the future after seeing that indentation.


    It was easy for us toe out of this dungeon this time with the help of zombies.


    Not a single monster approached us since they could see our zombies around us.


    At the same time, most of the monsters that were here had already been cleared with the help of the zombies, so there weren''t that many monsters to attack us in the first ce.


    Once we were out, the first thing that we did was rest up.


    Haley had been waiting for us and had already prepared everything as if she had predicted when we woulde out.


    I would find outter that she had someone watching over the entrance of the dungeon and had been prepared to wee us at any moment. It wasn''t that she had predicted it, it was just that she did it in a way that could be set up at any time.


    The adventurers and mercenaries were happy to ept this, but I knew what her real intentions were.


    After all, I was called to a private tent with her to celebrate.


    But there was no celebration at all for me.


    While she distracted the adventurers and mercenaries with this, she was grilling me for information about the dungeon.


    She wanted all the information that she could get to make a decision on what to do in the future.


    So she was keeping the adventurers and mercenaries, the ones that she would have to deal with busy while she got that information from me.


    I wasn''t able to get any food in me as I just had to tell Haley everything that happened.


    When it was over, she suddenly stood up and said, "Bring me to see the zombies."


    I was surprised to hear this, but I followed her out of the tent and led the way over to the zombies.


    All of the zombies that we brought out with us had been put in a special area with a fence around them.


    Though the fence really wouldn''t do much to keep them back, it gave the others a sense of safety seeing the zombies behind this fence.


    As she stood on the other side of the fence looking at the zombies, she couldn''t help saying in an amazed voice, "How did you do all of this?"


    I slowly took out the Orb of the Dead and exined to her what it did.


    Haley''s eyes were sparkling as she looked at the Orb of the Dead in my hand and listened to what I had to say.


    When I was finished exining, she suddenly raised her hand and pped my arm before saying, "Why didn''t you tell me about this thing sooner? If I knew that you had this thing, I could have gotten you to make a bunch of zombies for me to use asbour!"


    I really couldn''t help being surprised when I heard this.


    After all, I never would have thought that this would be her reaction to this.


    Raising the dead and controlling it, this was something that was considered taboo by most people.


    Yet the only thing that she could think of was how to use it in her business…


    I really didn''t know if I should be impressed by Haley or scared of her.


    She didn''t stay on this topic for long as she turned back to look at the zombies and asked, "What are you nning on doing with these ones? Are you just going to leave them here or are you going to use them for something else?"


    There was a very obvious implication that came with thetter half of her words.


    I shook my head and said, "I''ll just leave them here and use them to clear out the dungeon."


    Haley looked a bit disappointed when she heard this, but I quickly shot that down by saying, "For now, we''re still in a friendly rtionship with the country. I don''t want to do anything that could be seen as treason."


    Haley slowly gave a nod in response to this.


    What she had been implying was to take the zombies back and put them in my army.


    These zombies were the perfect soldiers as well since they had no fear and were very powerful.


    If I used them as soldiers for my territory, there was no doubt that the surrounding lords wouldn''t be able to do a single thing to me. At that point, it would be easy for me to do whatever I wanted in the area around my territory.


    But that would be dangerous as well.


    After all, too much military power could be seen as a threat. Especially when I had powerful weapons like these zombies.


    So if I made too many zombies, it might strain my rtionship with the royal family since they might see me as a threat to their rule.


    So for now, I couldn''t make too many zombies.


    But…there was an exception.


    "We''ll still take a few back with us. I hope that you can prepare them when we need to bring them back."


    Haley was surprised to hear this, but then she immediately understood what I meant.


    We would of course take the powerful zombies back with us and leave the weaker ones here.


    That included the humanoid rat creatures and the mushroom monsters.


    Those were the ones that I definitely wouldn''t leave in a ce like this.


    Seeing that she understood, I gave a satisfied nod before asking, "So what are your ns for this ce?"
