Lee Sang-hee's voice resonated within the room as I read Lee Jihye's letter brought by Kim Ye-ri.
"Let's get going."
"Of course."
I stuffed the letter into my pocket and got up from my seat, nodding. By the time we left the dungeon, my plan would be in progress.
Right now, I had to focus on the expedition itself.
The total number of members for the expedition was 14. We had six people from our party, seven people from the party managed by Hwang Jeong-yeon, and Lee Sang-hee herself, who would lead the expedition.
Though we lacked in number, we at least had some capable members.
First of all, it was important to note that Lee Sang-hee was a paladin with a stat of 90. She was a talented individual who was not a good leader but was exceptional as a combat agent. She was the best tanker of any avant-garde I'd ever seen.
Her agility level was low, but the merit of having 77 magic power and having self-healing abilities meant she was unmatched by any other tanker in Lindel.
'The same goes for Hwang Jeong-yeon...'
The 2nd unit also had decent overall stats. They averaged the 70 to 80 levels, and their overall potential was not bad. They were the ones who had the appropriate stats to enter the hero-grade dungeons.
"Since we lack the time, we'll brief you on the way. Please note that our priority is not to clear the dungeon."
"Of course."
"Our purpose is to identify and rescue the survivors. If I determine that there are no other survivors, I will immediately call for our retreat. The rescue of the survivors is important, but your safety is more important than anything else. I hope you always keep that in mind."
"Yes, of course."
"The level of the dungeon we are entering is of hero-grade, and the name of the dungeon is the Cursed Shrine. The types of monsters that will appear are ghosts and undead, and other detailed information has not yet been confirmed. We will search for survivors as safely as possible until backup arrives."
"How long will this take?"
"It is a dungeon found in the undead hunting grounds within the western region of Lindel. It will take about 8 hours to get to the destination."
"Ah, so it won't take that long."
Although we had prepared for the expedition in such a hurry, I still felt surprised to find out that we had scarce information about the dungeon we were entering.
I could understand why so many parties had failed.
No matter how much I thought about it, entering a hero-grade dungeon with little to no information beforehand seemed like a very risky endeavor one should not take.
If the dungeon's grades were a rare grade, of course, it would be no problem at all.
'Was there any reason for them to enter?'
I thought that there was a possibility that the cause of the failure could be caused by arrogantly entering with the mindset of 'What could happen when I'm using this amount of power?'
It was only natural for me to feel curious. Hwang Jeong-yeon saw this and approached me.
"The information is a bit lacking."
"I think it's because we're in a rush."
"Is there any reason?"
"Yeah... I didn't have enough time to prepare for the expedition. It was a mistake to think about what could happen in a hero-grade dungeon because almost all the guild's power was put into the dungeon. Did you know that the Blue Guild Master is cursed?"
