Chapter 295
A ring with an unusual pattern was worn on the index finger.
“Subspace ring.”
My heart was pounding.
What is in that ring?
It feels like looking at a random box that hasn’t been opened yet.
Swoop.
Unknowingly, my hand went to the ring.
My treasure…….
“……What is this bastard!”
A man who hates the moment his hand touches him and removes his hand from his shoulder.
“You barbarian bastard! You can’t…!”
Looking at the frightened eyes, I knew what a misunderstanding was.
His colleagues muttered one word at a time.
“Somehow, it was strange that the barbarian was a rookie.”
“A normal guy wouldn’t come down to this city.”
“Surely they were kicked out of the tribe because of this tendency…”
What are these crazy people saying?
I had to hurry up and clear up the misunderstanding.
Therefore, I quickly stretched my fist forward.
Poo-!
The face of the buck tooth who dared to put his hand on my shoulder for the first ride and pretended to be friendly.
“Ouch!”
Something white jumped out of the gaping mouth.
The buck tooth was completely cured with a single punch.
“Behel—laaaaa!”
Scary to let out a battle cry, the explorers who had filled the surroundings stepped back and made space.
“It’s a fight!”
“Waaaaaaa!”
“Rookie and Rex’s gang joined!!”
This is not a school classroom.
The staff sitting at the window also said, “Hey again?” He only sighs with the same expression.
Yes, there is no one who wants to stop it, right?
‘Rather good.’
I like Noirk more and more.
Maybe I wished for such a masculine society while pretending not to.
“This bastard!!”
The former bearded fellow of the bucktooth drew his weapon in indignation.
Okay, let’s go to the Temple, right?
Having refrained from using a weapon just in case, I took out my mace and swung it as if I had waited.
But…
Huung-!
The bearded man ducked to avoid the mace.
and that moment.
gripping support.
A ball of electricity flew from the hand of the man behind him, sparking.
It doesn’t seem like magic.
He seems to be a supernatural magician…
‘Yes, my shield adamantium.’
Adamantium is a 5th level metal that reduces property damage by 50%.
Paget-!
Electric current flowed through his body through his shield, but it was enough to endure this much with just exorcism.
But was this the first of its kind?
‘If I’m going to catch a tanker, I’ll have to put a curse on you guys.’
As I casually swung my mace, the bearded man’s eyes showed bewilderment.
“……!”
I got it.
Because he expected me to become ‘stiff’ and narrowed the distance even more.
At just the right angle to hit.
Fuck!
Okay, this is the second one.
cooong.
Beard’s body flew up the ceiling and landed on the floor.
If it was baseball, it would have been a foul.
I tapped my shoulder with my mace and stared straight ahead.
“What are you doing? He’s not coming.”
The trio, who tried to jump in the line, but two of their colleagues were smashed in an instant, surprisingly acted rationally.
“Let’s go, Rex.”
“……?”
“It’s a newcomer who came yesterday, but it seems that the Kalte gang followed and all were found dead.”
Oh, you guys haven’t heard the rumors yet.
Apparently, through the words of the onlookers, he seems to have realized that he was not an easy enemy…
“But if he backed down like this…”
“It’ll be a laughing stock. But isn’t it better than dying? Is it true? I don’t know, but he says there’s a woman who uses an aura among his colleagues.”
“Come…?”
A man named Rex frowned.
and that moment.
Swoop.
Amelia, who was waiting in line elsewhere, came and stood next to me.
“Oh come.”
“You seem to be driving all the incidents.”
“It’s not my fault this time.”
“…I know. Because I saw it.”
Saying that, Amelia put her hand on the dagger on her thigh.
And was this decisive?
“…How about we end it here?”
A man named Rex made an offer.
Negotiations aren’t like that.
“Any apples?”
“Let’s do it. I’m sorry I took it easy on you and made a rude request.”
If you decide to lift it up, is it our culture to lift it up close?
Surprisingly, the guy came out with a thoroughly low profile.
‘Well then, what should I do…’
I thought about it and looked to the side, and Amelia nodded slightly.
It means to do this and send it.
“Okay, I’ll accept your apology.”
“Thank you then…”
After I received my apology, Rex and his teammates started to take care of the fallen teammate.
Um what the hell is this?
“stop.”
“……?”
“Leave everything you two have.”
“I received an apology……”
No, that’s that, and this is this, man.
What does an apology mean?
“Now we’re from the same faction. We should help each other.”
Cancer Isn’t that the heart of the world where people live?
***
After thinking for a while, Rex finally sighed and took off the equipment of his fainted colleagues.
“Are you all right?”
“A ring?”
“……here.”
How long is this again?
It is almost at the level of copying money.
Why did the Noark kids live so poor?
‘Anyway, I’ll check what’s inside the ring later…’
“Go ahead.”
“…….”
After kicking out the Rex guys, he put all the equipment he took off into the subspace ring.
After all, expandable backpacks are inconvenient, so I wished there was a subspace.
“They look a little too much, but they are warm-hearted.”
“…….”
“What are you staring at? Now, let’s stand in line again.”
After that, we headed towards the window again.
Thanks to getting out of the line, there were other explorers in the place where I was standing, but there was no problem.
Because I have already finished adjusting to this city.
“Oh man.”
“……What’s your business?”
“As we saw earlier, there are circumstances, but can you give me some concessions?”
“…of course.”
Soon we were able to stand in the front row thanks to the kind explorer’s consideration.
Before the fight, I was in the middle line, so I saved almost 30 minutes.
“People here are full of affection.”
“…If anyone sees it, they’ll think you’re from here, not me.”
Hehe shamelessly praised.
“I’m just adaptable. Not a genius.”
“I didn’t say that.”
“Whoops, I can’t be honest.”
“…….”
Anyway, since we were in the front row, our turn came quickly and we were able to register ahead of schedule.
That’s right, I skipped the grade adjustment application.
“Didn’t you originally say you would raise it to level 5?”
“It doesn’t matter. By now, the news of us must have reached the ears of the castle lord.”
The reason was that since the goal had already been achieved thanks to me, there was no need to publicize the essence of possession while adjusting the grade.
“You did well to act as you please.”
“…So far it’s been fine, but move carefully from now on. There aren’t only minnows like that in this city.”
“Okay. Then, is today’s work over?”
“Okay, let’s go back and rest.”
Afterwards, we returned to the lodging we booked yesterday, turned it into a long-term rental, and refrained from going out and waited.
and how long has it been
Contrary to Amelia’s expectations, even after several days, the lord of the castle showed interest and did not approach.
Jeop Although the plan was to go under the lord of the castle.
“Amelia, what happened to this?”
“…Since there is no information about us, it seems like they’re trying to figure out their tendencies after a while.”
“so?”
“Let’s wait for a while. Someday, we’ll get in touch. Due to the nature of the castle owner, we won’t leave an independent high-ranking explorer alone.”
Time passed like that, and the day to enter the labyrinth came.
***
“Wow!”
“How long!”
“Come on, let’s go make some money!”
A plaza crowded with many people as if a festival had taken place.
It was a sight that could always be seen on the day of entering the labyrinth, but the people gathered in the plaza today looked especially excited.
It wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.
Because most of the few people who entered the labyrinth last month survived, and public opinion that the labyrinth was safe.
For those who are struggling, this must be good news.
Chow ah –
Arua Raven, who rode the wagon and passed the road next to the plaza, drew the curtain bitterly.
It felt real again.
“Yes, it’s already been a month…”
A month has passed since Bjorn Yandel died.
It was the death of a man called a hero among explorers, but nothing changed in the world.
Only her surroundings have changed.
“Haa…….”
Raven briefly recalled the past days.
[Yes, Bjorn is dead.]
Surprisingly, the female warrior moved the most rationally in the group.
[What? Let’s all go and rest. I’m tired, so let’s talk about what we’re going to do tomorrow. In the guild… I will stop by myself.]
She faced reality and tried to do what she had to do right away.
Keeping this team created by Bjorn Yandel.
Of course, I didn’t have a jaw to do well.
[Forward…? What do you mean by that?]
[Since Bjorn is dead, shouldn’t the five of us enter the labyrinth from now on?]
At that, the fairy retorted with an aggressive voice.
[Exploration? Is that the problem now?]
[Then what’s the problem?]
[Of course you have to take revenge!]
[Revenge?]
[Noark! It’s all because of those people that such things happened on the island! To begin with, that red-haired woman is also suspicious. If that girl is alive and has something to do with
Mr.
[No, it doesn’t matter even if it’s not related.]
[…….]
[I’ll find and kill them all.]
It was understandable to lose reason in anger.
The recent loss of her sister was also caused by Noark.
[I know how Erwen feels, but calm down. How are you going to get revenge on those people who went out in the first place? First of all, go back today and rest, and then come back tomorrow……]
[Yes, that’s just what you guys were up to.]
[Yes?]
[I feel sorry for you. He said he would protect these people as colleagues.]
[…What? Say it again.]
[Stop Raven! You can’t do that too!]
The female warrior stopped her.
Normally, a beast warrior would have stepped forward, but she didn’t seem to be in the mood to do that either.
But did it stand out?
[…….]
The fairy approached the beast warrior.
[What about your sister? are you going to do it? Revenge?]
[I am…]
The beastman warrior blurted out his words.
and how long has it been
[Beast-like bitch.]
The fairy, who had been quietly waiting for an answer, left with just that one word.
[I will meet Erwen tomorrow. So we too… I’m leaving.]
So they scattered and went home.
The female warrior said she would stop by the guild and report the death of Bjorn Yandel, but the wizard stopped it.
[Ms. Einar, take care of Ms. Mischa. This…… I’ll do it.]
[But…]
[Mr. Einar can’t even read.]
[I got it. Please.]
Until the moment we parted, the archer, a prisoner with a family, did not say anything.
I just watched with bitter eyes as the team was splitting up, as if this had happened several times.
[Let’s see, the deceased… Baroness Bjorn Yandel?!]
When I submitted the death report to the guild, the people around me weren’t upset.
Nearby explorers as well as staff seemed to want to ask something, but after seeing Raven’s expression, they didn’t come close.
A day passed just like that.
[Did you hear? I heard that Baron Bjorn Yandel is dead.]
[I never thought the giant would go like that…]
[A loved one has died.]
The death of Bjorn Yandel spread as quickly as the fame he had in his lifetime.
And those who knew him visited his house.
[Einar! Misha! Open the door! Is Yandel’s friend really dead? What the heck why……. open it!] My
former colleague, the dwarf warrior Hikurod Murad.
[……Stop Murad. Did you stop by my guild to check the death report? We’ll make it hard for both of us. Let’s go back and come back.]
Brown Rottmiller.
And many other explorers who were indebted to a hero named Bjorn Yandel visited his home.
[Thank you for saving us that day.]
[You won’t come to the library… now.]
Flowers piled up in front of the door.
Numerous people mourned his death, and the barbarians, who regarded him as the next chieftain, locked the door of the holy ground and held a funeral for several days, praying for his spirit sleeping in the labyrinth to return to the forest.
But even so, the world has not changed.
Only her surroundings have changed.
[……Everyone, don’t think about exploration for a while and rest.]
All future exploration plans have been suspended.
What are you going to do with the four of us?
Not even everyone is insane.
Everyone needs a break.
The same goes for Arua Raven herself.
But…
‘Nothing will change just by taking a break.’
After the fairy left that day, Arua Raven intuitively realized.
It is a lie to say that time is medicine.
As the days go by, everything will become more and more messed up rather than fixed.
so that.
“We have to find it.”
Since that day, Arua Raven has not been able to sleep properly and has spent every day buried in books.
Just today, I was on my way back to the lab after stopping by the library in the palace.
Even so, his death is questionable.
It is known in the city that he died because of ‘Storm Gush’, but…
“I don’t understand.”
Circumstances, he succeeded in hunting.
He also had the energy to fix himself by driving nails into the bottom so that he would not be washed away by the sea.
But where did he disappear in such a short time?
If it was really washed away, why was the equipment removed?
“There’s something else…some big secret…”
Raven grabbed his chest like someone struggling to breathe.
Even if it’s not a reasonable reasoning like a wizard.
“There must be more…”
She needed something to hold on to.
