"Here are 70 gold coins, take it as your pocket money," Arianne said generously.

70 gold coins...

That could buy half the street!

Lorne swallowed, unable to control his hand reaching for the money pouch. "Do you guys really have so much money in the church? It seems like fooling the believers' money is quite easy..."

"Well, it's just a small amount," Arianne said, poking Lorne's cheek with her finger and laughing. "These are just the money I carry with me. Unfortunately, I've left the church now and considered a missing person, so most of my assets are inaccessible... but don't worry, I still have some secret money in the bank under a fake name, enough for us to use for three to five years."

Lorne was stunned.

How much money does Arianne actually have? She must own several mansions, right?

Tsk tsk tsk.

This is probably the corrupt upper class...

"But anyway, this money is really helpful," Lorne said, grabbing the heavy money pouch and pondering how to use it. "Besides buying food, we can also buy some furniture... hmm, let's buy some tools and materials to renovate this Dungeon..."

That way, it should improve the "development level" of this Dungeon.

In addition, more traps should be set up, carefully hiding the entrance to the Dungeon.

Although the paladin Arnold has been silenced, so the church currently doesn't know about Arianne's betrayal or her whereabouts...

However, the disappearance of one of the Seven Mercy Sisters is not a small matter. The church will definitely dispatch people to conduct a carpet search.

They are likely to find this place.

After all, many people in Sparrow Town have seen Arianne before.

"Well, maybe I should buy some magic items for anti-detection and place them near the entrance... I wonder if Sparrow Town sells them? Oh right, I should also buy a bathtub..."

Lorne quickly calculated various financial expenditures.

At that moment, Arianne sighed suddenly.

"It seems like your mindset hasn't changed yet, Lorne... You are a person who will become the Demon Lord! Buying furniture? Renovating the Dungeon? Don't be so narrow-minded!"

"Huh?"

"That's right, this Dungeon is old and shabby, quite uncomfortable to live in... in that case, let's just move. Let's move to a bigger and better Dungeon!"

"...Move?"

Lorne was slightly puzzled for a moment, then realized that Arianne was right.

The value of this shabby Dungeon lies in the hidden "altar" that can unlock the System for Lorne. But since he has already completed the registration and started the so-called "Trial Road," there is no need to continue to be fixated here.

Moreover, being far away from Sparrow Town can reduce the risk of being found by the church.

It's killing two birds with one stone.

The only problem is...

"Dungeons can be changed? Aren't they bound to my soul?" Lorne asked in confusion.

At this point, Helena had finished her breakfast.

Taking a sip of the poisonous mushroom tea, she calmly said, "Let me explain, my Lord."

...

"As a demon, you are still quite young, so it's normal for you to not know some things. First, let me ask you a question, do you know the difference between 'demons' and 'higher demons'?"

"Well, of course," Lorne nodded. "I heard that regular demons can become higher demons as long as they have a Dungeon..."

Lorne learned these things from the "Adventurer Monthly" magazine. Yes, the one issued by the Adventurers Guild, and Lorne was a loyal reader of the magazine.

Sometimes, interesting adventure stories are published in it."Yes. And a Dungeon is a rather special space. It's not just anyone digging a hole in the ground and calling it a Dungeon," Helena explained.

"They already exist in this world, and the number of them is unknown. In a sense, a Dungeon can be said to be 'alive.' When it has a Lord, it awakens and regularly produces Magic Crystals. When the Lord dies, the Dungeon goes into dormancy..."

"I already know all that. Hey, do you think I have no common sense at all? Can you please get to the point?" Lorne sighed.

After all, he had read six issues of Adventurer Monthly. He had some understanding of the basic knowledge that was relevant to him.

Helena pursed her lips. "Tsk tsk, my Lord is quite impatient. Can't even wait for the necessary foreplay?... Alright, I'll get straight to the point. Of course, a Dungeon can be exchanged. As long as you eliminate the current Lord, make all the residents submit or drive them out, kill them all, then you can become the new Lord!"

"What will happen to the original Dungeon if I occupy a new one?" Lorne continued to ask.

"It will lose its master and enter dormancy," Helena replied.

That's how it is.

Lorne nodded, understanding the general idea.

...

"So, that's the decision then?" Arianne blinked happily. "Lorne, do you have the latest issue of Adventurer Monthly? Bring it over for me to read."

The appendix of Adventurer Monthly contained a list of all known Dungeons and their guild-issued ratings.

However, dormant Dungeons were not listed. After all, they didn't produce Magic Crystals, so there was no profit for adventurers.

"In summary, find a more comfortable Dungeon to live in and take it over! Let me see which target is more suitable..." Arianne eagerly flipped through the magazine, seeming particularly excited about this matter.

"The difficulty lies in eliminating the original Lord because all higher-ranking demons have the ability to resurrect... But with me and Helena helping you, you don't have to worry!" Helena reassured.

"With our capabilities, capturing Dungeons below Class C should be no problem. As for Class A and Class B, it might be more challenging... mainly because we are short on manpower.

"Distance is also an issue, we can't be too far away from here..."

Arianne mumbled to herself, her fingers skimming the list on the paper, trying to find the most suitable target for robbery.

At the same time, Lorne crossed his arms and furrowed his brows, pondering another question.

After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly spoke up, "No. We can't find targets from here."

"Huh?" Arianne paused, raising her eyebrows in surprise.

"Those listed in the magazine are Dungeons that are already known to the world and are frequently visited by adventurers," Lorne shook his head. "Arianne, you're somewhat famous in this world, so you might be recognized by some adventurers... It won't serve the purpose of hiding at all."

In addition, there was another reason –

For demons and monsters, a Dungeon was their home. Just like this place was Lorne, Helena, and Aze's home. It felt a bit uncomfortable for Lorne to go and take someone else's house.

In that case, what was the difference between them and those adventurers who came to rob houses?

No, it was even worse than them.

"If only we could find an unknown Dungeon without a master..." Lorne rubbed his chin, pondering. "There should be such a Dungeon, right?"

"It's easy for you to say. It's not that easy to find," Arianne sighed and muttered.

Just at that moment...

Aze, the skeleton soldier who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, "Ka ka, ka ka ka."Sure, I know one.
