Karl was handing ice cream from the clerk to the kids when the bell rang to mark a new customer, and the man known locally as "The Moron" waved a greeting to him.
"Hey Swag, how’s your afternoon going?" Karl asked.
"Good, good. I heard that you might be looking to go on an outing soon. The Dana Mage is almost finished her Immortal Spirit, and I’ve spent the last of my Clan Credits, so I’m looking for another outing." He explained.
Karl smiled. "I think that we can arrange something. There are always people looking to go out, and I’ve got a fairly solid base of Immortals for my group."
The Moron nodded in agreement. "Yes, I met one of them earlier. She was with the Blue Elves, having a heated debate about the best arteries to cut if you wanted to make an example of someone."
That sounded pretty average for Rae. But not for most other people.
Maybe she made friends with similar interests?
"If you want to go with my usual group, I can arrange that too. There are about ten of us who like to work together because we have complementary skills, and then we just join with an ascended Immortal and his core group for larger outings.
But there is a spot that would be perfect for twelve lower ranked members if we can find an Elder or Ascended group leader for the duel." Swag suggested.
"Oh? What sort of location? We could have Miss Opal here record everything and then show off our glorious victory as training materials for the youngsters when we return." Karl suggested.
"There is a dungeon opened at Alhos starting soon. It opens one week a month, with limited spots. It’s a bit of a trip, but they have a portal array that New Home can link to.
Portal distances are severely limited on this continent, but that’s still within our limitations.
Oh, how I miss the days when I could just pop between continents for lunch.
Or when continents were only a few thousand kilometres across. This planet is as inflated as the egos of some of the duel champions."
Karl laughed at the man’s dismay. Indeed, this Immortal World was massive, easily ten times the size of the one that Karl had come from. How that worked with a very similar gravity level was a mystery, but Karl suspected that it had more to do with magic and Fundamental Rules than physics.
"That would be perfect. My Dana will have her Immortal Spirit finished right away, and then we can all go as a group. How many people does the Dungeon allow in at a time?" Karl asked.
"Twenty to a group. But it sets the difficulty by the level of the strongest, so we can’t bring the Ascended Immortal in with us, unless we’re feeling huge.
So, a group of twenty-one, including our duel champion, is perfect."
"Asking for them to just stand around and wait for us must be an expensive proposition." Karl noted.
