"Adelia."
When Isaac called out her name, she quickly lowered her head while lifting up her dress slightly, showing respect like a member of royalty.
<Information>
[Name : Adelia von Koeningswald]
[Race : High Elf]
[Class : A]
[Level : 30]
Isaac looked at the High Elf from head to toe. The woman was close to the beauty of the Nether Realm noble daughter. Just without the arrogant aura.
"I am truly honored that the Dungeon Master supervised the construction of the Elf Village. As the Village Chief, I am flattered."
Isaac hissed. "Yes. But I want you to reduce your formality. You lead a small village of only 500 lives, not an empire. I want you to relax a bit, because you will meet a lot of newcomers later."
"Eh—" Adelia was surprised. "Yes, Lord. I won't do it again." She immediately changed her speech and intonation.
Isaac nodded his head.
If this was his first time meeting a High Elf, Isaac would definitely be surprised.
High Elf had extraordinary communication skills. They were able to change attitudes quickly; gestures and intonation of their speech. It was as if they had been trained since childhood. This was one of the advantages of High Elf. They knew how to position themselves when dealing with people who had high status.
High Elf was a creature that was very suitable in terms of diplomacy. They could reconcile hostile monsters in the dungeons or face humans. Of course, only the creature with intelligence could be affected by the High Elves. Meanwhile, monsters were wild and had no intellect, their abilities wouldn't work on those monsters.
Some of the Dungeon Masters used High Elf only to strengthen the elf warrior's ranks. The monster had the ability to amplify various elemental magic. It could at least increase 50% damage from its original magic power.
In a massive scale battle, the first monster to be targeted would be the High Elf. They were support for the damage dealers.
However, Isaac used it in a slightly different way.
'She has extraordinary beauty and ethics. Humans will surely like it.'
Isaac would use Adelia's charm to lure the hunters, especially men. The hunter jobs filled with fighting the monsters definitely put a lot of pressure on them. Adelia's appearance would be a breath of fresh air.
Besides, their animal instinct to survive would make Adelia a perfect magnet.
'I need to change her appearance. Noble clothes are elegant, but simple clothes will bring their own charm. Men tend to get closer to what they can achieve.'
Isaac smiled broadly at Adelia, while the female elf looked surprised at her master.
"Is there something wrong with me, my lord?" Adelia asked awkwardly.
"Yes, there is. Your appearance needs a makeover."
Then, Isaac called Pippi through his telepathy. The little girl who had been busy instructing the elves suddenly appeared in front of Isaac in a salute pose.
"Pippi is here. Ready to do the job."
Adelia looked surprised to see Pippi's appearance.
"Pippi, change the elf's appearance according to what I think."
"Yes, Lord."
Her tiny hand hung in the air, then a splinter of light appeared and covered Adelia's clothes. The elf woman was surprised. Pippi swayed her fingers, then the light that enveloped Adelia's body disappeared. Her clothes had changed drastically. The royal blue dress changed into ordinary women's clothes.
Isaac smiled in satisfaction. "Good." He stroked Pippi's head.
His assistant looked proud. She puffed out her chest while stroking her nose with her index finger. Meanwhile, Adelia seemed to like her new clothes. She spun around while tossing her calf-high skirt.
"This outfit is simple and light. I can move more freely. Thank you for your gift, Lord Isaac."
Isaac narrowed his eyes. He had never got used to the High Elf's mindset. In his eyes, Adelia was too positive and innocent.
"Pippi, I leave the rest to you. I will take care of other work."
Pippi posed a salute. "Aye aye, Lord."
His body emitted light, then disappeared and turned into shards like fireflies. Isaac had left the 4th Floor.
What remained of the Dungeon Manager and the High Elf.
Pippi glanced at Adelia with condescending eyes, while the elf woman smiled kindly.
"Did you hear what the Dungeon Master said earlier? Lord left the responsibility to Pippi. So, from now on you must obey Pippi's orders. Understand?"
Adelia smiled and stroked the little girl's head. "Understood, Dungeon Manager."
"Eh—!"
Pippi slapped the hand that was stroking her head, but Adelia kept stroking it.
She tried to get angry, but for some reason she couldn't resist. Adelia's hand felt really comfortable on her head. Without Pippi's noticing, her face turned red.
For the second time, there was a monster who disobeyed her order.

Clank! Clank! Clank!
The sound of metal clashing echoed within the forging room. The dwarves seemed to be focused on work even though the hot air from the fire stung their skin.
Since Isaac upgraded the dungeon, the traffic of visiting hunters had increased dramatically. Most of them were curious about the shock phenomenon due to the increase in the number of floors in the dungeon. They thought the incident had something to do with the dungeon break that happened one month ago.
Of course, they took the time to use the services of the dwarves who were renowned for their forging qualities.
Thus, the orders flooded the blacksmith forge. The dwarves had no time to relax. Because they were too busy, they did not notice the arrival of their master.
Isaac just stood in the midst of dozens of dwarves hitting the metal and struggling with the heat. They shouted, cursed, and ordered each other to do their part of the task properly.
'There seems to be a spike in the traffic of hunters visiting the dungeon. I think they still need some time to recover from the dungeon break.'
Just as Isaac was deep in thought, a deep voice called out to him.
"Lord!"
Isaac turned his head to see Goyo with a messed appearance. His hair was disheveled and his body was drenched in sweat. There was a pungent smell of urine as Goyo approached Isaac. It was as if the dwarf had not bathed in months.
"You look really messed up, Goyo," Isaac said.
The chief dwarf hissed while shaking his head. "As you know, my lord. Out there, humans are swarming like ants. There are so many orders. Even those bastards have turned the area in the forge into a summer camp."
"You have to try harder. Where's my order?"
Suddenly, Goyo's face brightened. "Ha ha ha! I thought you forgot your order, Lord."
Then, the chief dwarf shouted at his men to bring Isaac's order. The four dwarves carried a large object covered with a white cloth. They seemed to have a hard time bringing it before the Dungeon Master. Their faces contorted from the weight.
Meanwhile, Goyo smiled broadly. "My lord, if I'm being honest, this is my finest masterpiece." His hand held the white cloth that covered the large object. "With all due respect, I present…"
Swooosh… the white cloth was torn apart.
A great sword emitted a cold aura. Green color like jade with black gradation. Isaac's eyes instantly opened wide when he saw the pattern engraved on the sword's body. Subconsciously, his hand grabbed the hilt of the sword.
"My, my lord. I name this weapon Black Jade!"
<Black Jade>
[Class : A]
[Type : Artefact (Great Sword)]
[An artefact imbued with the dwarves' outer spirit. Created from a Spiritual Beast's body parts fused with selected mithril metal. Has a high affinity for the wind element.]
[The weapon has the power of the wind element. If the weapon flows with mana, each slash will deal wind elemental magic damage.]
[Additional damage bonus of 60% of magic stat.]
Isaac smiled in satisfaction with his new weapon.
'It's way more powerful than Gavin's.'
Now, he had a weapon strong enough to kill a Demon Lords.
