Their first stop, of course, was by the temple square where Joe swapped his job to Polyglot at Garnedell's suggestion, just as Joe had thought. They'd gone through five temples so far, and there were still over a dozen left for Joe to head to for future job changes. Joe dropped his cloak off after they'd left the temple district and took a detour to the smith. It took a bit of a while for Joe to explain the asterisk to the blacksmith that they ended up wasting a good hour trying to have their idea explained to the blacksmith. The smith had been quite resistant to the idea and Joe had to insist. The smith hadn't really been willing until Joe asked for the smith to make twenty of them simply using bars of iron. Joe was able to placate the smith a bit more by buying two one and a half meter bars of iron. Need to replace my old iron spoon spears… wait! Joe added two spoon spears to the total before they left as well.

The two were finally free to head to the dungeon, and they found themselves lining up to enter the dungeon. Joe was a bit surprised to find a very short line with few adventurers even as late as they were, but he couldn't have been happier as it meant they would be able to enter rather quickly. Only a few minutes later had them striking the first spark and Joe was able to take a look at what the job polyglot would give him by way of stats, excitement squirming underlying all his actions today.

Joe's grin turned a bit maniacal when he noticed the learning stat. The wisdom and IQ was also a nice boost and given what those stats were approaching, it seemed that he was over half way to the minimum he'd need for his mental stats. I might even be done with intelligence. At least, I might have breached the hundreds for basic stats, although the rest of my physical stats are really bad! On the other hand, I'll be leveling really fast!

They made the first major room filled with two dozen or so sparks and Joe tore through the room with a vengeance. Joe hit level two after the first kill and made level four after the second kill. Joe was giggling a bit like a maniac as he watched his levels slip by like lightning. The next kill got him level five and he was well on his way and he hadn't even cleared the first room. By the time the room was cleared, Joe had almost made ten, going up a level every two kills for levels six to ten. Lunch time came with Joe sitting with a feeling of great satisfaction as he was able to enjoy his meal while being level fifteen.

The afternoon brought a milestone and an event of interest. Joe wouldn't have even noticed reaching his first goal if the system hadn't pinged him, inadvertently letting him know by offering him a choice he didn't know he had.
