Chapter 366
“Are you going to keep making that face?
I’m not saying I know everything about my situation, but I wasn’t wrong.
Of course, it’s ambiguous to say that it’s my fault unconditionally.
But I can’t help but think that I was the last person to push the back of the person standing in front of the cliff.
If I hadn’t been to that woman.
Maybe it’s because I don’t know if I didn’t make that choice.
Or rather…
Dwalkie.
Bjorn’s biological father, Yandel Zarku.
When I think of these two cases, I have no choice but to accept the possibility more.
The future changed because of my existence.
“Haa… If I had known this was going to happen, I wouldn’t have talked about this until the end.”
Raven said again as if he was considerate of me.
I thought I shouldn’t keep my mouth shut like someone who doesn’t know anything anymore.
That would be another deception.
But…
“…….”
On the other hand, I also think of this.
Can I touch the wound that has healed again?
Just because I don’t want to avoid my responsibilities?
It was a time when I couldn’t open my mouth easily because of such worries.
“The atmosphere is strange. Could it be that we interfered?”
“It’s strange. It can’t be. But… the two of you guys… what were you doing…?”
Feeling a presence at the doorway, I turned my head to see Amelia and Erwen entering, removing the barracks.
“…….”
Turning his head again, Raven turned his attention to the papers again.
Well, it’s not a conversation to have in this atmosphere.
“…….”
In the end, I couldn’t say anything that day.
***
「The labyrinth is closed.」
「The character moves to Lapdonia.」
***
Day 75 of exploration.
As the closing date of the 7th floor approached, we returned to the city.
‘Hey, it looks like he’s coming after a really long time.’
After being in the labyrinth for over two months, the city feels awkward.
Some of the upper-level clans say that there are places where they take a break for a month or two after going on an expedition. It feels like knowing why.
“Are you going home right away?”
“First. Let’s rest a little. After that, eat something delicious.”
“yes!”
After getting out of the exchange office, we headed straight for the mansion.
Oh, by the way, there weren’t many magic stones exchanged.
After arriving on the 6th floor, all loot was received as a slip stamped with the royal seal.
If you go to the Ministry of Merit, it will be exchanged for money, but it will be crowded for a few days, so I decided to visit with some time.
“Finally, it’s home.”
A mansion with a small garden and all the windows are covered with boards.
I never thought this mansion would make me feel so welcome.
Anyway, I’m going to eat the food that I packed on the way home after washing it……
“Then who will wash first?”
I was about to set the order of washing soon, but Amelia told me.
“Suits, you use the bathroom on the second floor.”
“Huh? Then thank you, but can I use it first?”
“Because the bathroom on the first floor is larger than the second floor. The two of us can use it together.”
I didn’t quite understand.
“…What? Two people?”
For some reason, I can’t easily imagine something like that.
“You guys… when did you become so close?”
When I asked without hiding my surprise, Erwen waved his hand in great embarrassment.
“You’re so close! You’re not!! You say something too. Why am I washing with you?!”
“Because it’s more efficient. Well, if you don’t like it, I’ll wash it first.”
“What? Why decide on your own—”
“Then go in first.”
“…Wait a minute!”
Soon after, Amelia headed to the bathroom, and Erwen shouted something and followed her.
‘Why can’t these guys have a quiet day?’
I also turned off my attention and headed to the bathroom on the second floor.
I was a little curious about who would wash first or together, but…
it doesn’t matter either way.
At this point, we wouldn’t pull out our weapons and fight each other.
“Looks like I’m going to live.”
As soon as I pour hot water on my body, it seems that the fatigue that has accumulated in my body steadily melts away.
At the same time, I felt the realization that the exploration was over.
‘Still… I think it ended smoothly compared to the many things I had to do.’
There have been no incidents of note since the first raid.
Until he reached level 7, he continued to enter the patrol and accumulate experience points, and such a peaceful state continued to be maintained.
However, there was a case where the main unit asked for support in the middle and took away part of the troops.
Of course, it was a story that had nothing to do with me.
Because of Raven’s strategic role, he had to remain in the rear, and the same goes for us in Raven’s unit.
‘I’ll have to do this settlement after I sell the equipment first and change all the slips to money…’
Washing my body like that and organizing the income from this exploration felt very new.
“Is it level 7……”
Now it’s a level that can be proudly said that it has reached the mid-to-late half.
Even considering the number of level 3 essences acquired, it is safe to say that it is actually the beginning of the second half.
It seems like yesterday when I stepped on a goblin trap and crawled.
‘…I guess I’ve gotten a lot stronger.’
I feel my own growth again.
What is the reason why you can say that this exploration ended without incident in the first place?
Corpse Collector Screaming Witch Lighthouse Keeper Blood Knight.
I had to fight with as many as four members of Orcules.
Obviously, in the past, someone would have had to sacrifice and put my life on the line.
But nonetheless.
‘I have to become stronger.’
Rather than feeling satisfied, the lack of it touches me more.
Because it’s still far
To guarantee the safety of me and my colleagues 100% against monsters like Wanga, Auril Gavis, and Baekho Lee.
‘I have to get to level 9 somehow. I have to solve the problem of the spirit mark as soon as possible…’
It was the time when the thought led to that point.
“Does it take a long time, mister? I’m thinking of reheating the food soon…”
“Oh, don’t leave soon.”
Realizing that I had been stuck in the bathroom for a much longer time than I thought, I hurriedly finished it and came out. And we talked while eating warm food.
“What are you going to do with the Suits Guild?”
“Guild problem?”
“Ravn, that woman said. If you want to avoid the eyes of the royal family, you’d better deal with the information written in the guild somehow.”
“Ah…….”
5th grade explorer Lehen Shuitz.
The last time I entered the labyrinth was about 5 years ago.
However, if the royal family reads the data stored in the guild, my undercover identity will soon be exposed.
Essences confirmed to have been eaten by the team Lichen Schuitz was active in will be written there.
“If you visit an old colleague and ask him a few questions, he’s sure to notice something strange. Not to mention when you bring him in and ask him to come face to face.”
The record of Lichen Schuitz must be burned or modified so that it cannot be traced.
And this is something that only insiders of the guild can do.
“Is there anyone who can help?”
“Well, I’ve never been friendly with a guild since before.”
Of course, while saying that, there was one person who came to mind.
Julian Urbans.
Geum Ok-yeop, the local chief, who was held hostage in the past to clear up false charges.
‘Hmm, is it a bit harsh to say it’s a golden jade leaf?’
Thinking back on it, she was quite an unusual woman.
To want my father’s downfall just because I didn’t want to live like a puppet.
What would the woman be like by now?
If he had helped and given grace at that time, would it have been possible to receive help?
***
The next day back in the city.
Amelia went out to dispose of the lighthouse keeper’s equipment, and Erwen left, saying he had to stop by the Holy Land.
And…
“Then let’s go out.”
I got dressed and went out.
Well, as a result of the discussion, it was concluded that this much would be fine.
Isn’t it a face that even former colleague Raven couldn’t recognize?
Unfortunately, it was next to impossible to think of Bjorn Yandel through this face. It must be a little strange to be stuck at home in such a situation.
‘I should have met that dragon tribe boy with this face.’
Even the dragon tribe priestess, who said she was filthy ugly when she first met her, wouldn’t be able to tell such a lie until she saw this face.
Ttsk What’s good about a face like this?
‘Anyway, then let’s go from there……’
The first proper outing after returning to the current time zone. Just like when I went in the past, I walked around looking at the surrounding streets and quickly arrived at my destination.
[Carcia Romne.]
A blacksmith whose name is in an ancient language that is not suitable for the job.
To interpret it, is it a magic flame?
dwarf guy. In other words, it was a forge built by Hikuro Murad after leaving Team Banpunyi.
‘……I heard that business is going well these days, but it’s true.’
I heard Raven to some extent, but I didn’t expect it to be this much.
Seeing that the buildings next to it were added together, it seems that the business was successful within two and a half years.
‘Should I go in and try it?’
I was curious, so I went inside the forge.
And it was time to slowly look at the equipment on display.
“Ha ha ha! The items on display are not for sale, but for custom-made specimens. If there is anything else you are looking for, let me know!”
I heard a familiar voice and turned my back to see a really familiar face there.
“Hikurod Murad.”
“Oh, do you even know my name? Ha ha ha! I seem to have become famous lately…”
The dwarf I hadn’t seen in a while smiled cheerfully and raised his head up, then stunned when he saw me.
“…huh?”
“Why?”
“Oh no. It’s just a strange feeling. He was a tall, handsome young man, wasn’t he?”
I wish I could have known, but it doesn’t seem like it.
Okay, if this is enough, I guess no one will recognize me even if I go around barefoot.
‘But…why am I so sad?’
I had a conversation with the dwarf, keeping my feelings for unknown reasons in a corner.
“Is it okay for the boss to come out?”
“Haha, I’m not good at blacksmithing.”
“why?”
“That’s why the blacksmiths I hired do it for me, so why am I doing it? They make things much better than I do.”
“…I guess so.”
“Rather, this is my calling more?
Now it seems that the dwarf gave up his dream of becoming a blacksmith and switched to a sales job.
Somehow the business seemed to be going well.
‘Are you wearing a mithril necklace too?’
To be honest, it was quite a shock.
Whether it was the folding of his dreams or the clothes he was wearing, it all seemed like he wasn’t the guy I knew.
Well, the final word was the last word.
“Eh tsk… He seemed to have a lot of money, so I explained it well, but I’m not lucky.”
As soon as I said that I had no intention of buying and came to visit, he erased my smile and kicked me out.
“If you’re not going to buy, leave quickly! Since you’re there, other guests can’t come in!”
I was dumbfounded even as I was pushed away. What
happened to him ,
and why did he become so close?
After coming out of the forge, we headed to the training center we knew the location of. Rottmiller was a place where the man did business by teaching explorers skills as a seeker… ‘It’s closed
. I did.’ For some reason,
it
wasn’t open today.
I wanted to go home, but there was nothing to do, so I decided to move to a new destination.
[Rabighion Central Library]
When there is nothing to do, there’s no place like here.
As if to announce that it was open, I walked in through the wide open door and saw a familiar desk. But
…
‘What is it?’
The faces of the people sitting at the desk are different.
Originally, there should have been only one person with sleepy eyes at that wide desk.
“Welcome. Welcome.”
I can see more than 20 employees sitting at their desks doing their work.
Just like the library of 20 years ago.
“Hey… where did the original librarian go?
” Are you talking about it?”
“Rag or Ritaniel Peprok…….”
“……?”
At my question, one of the librarians tilted his head in disbelief and then went to the desk and asked the other librarians. ” I asked
seniors, and they say it’s the name of someone who retired before the library reorganization.” ”
…Do you know when you retired
? ”
….
Well, he wasn’t the kind of spec that a librarian would do for the rest of his life.
In the first place, he was doing the work that dozens of people would do by himself with a huge amount of magic power.
“Is there anything else you need help with?
” ”
The book detection magic fee is 3,000 stones!”
How do you get a fee now
? I found
a
book
and
sat
down .
My complaint came in, so… could you please stand up…?” Even so
, one of the librarians was shaking his shoulders as if begging the giant barbarian who was snoring
.
He does all the disgrace……
‘Huh?’
I couldn’t help but flinch the moment the barbarian woke up and quickly stood up while wiping his saliva.
“Oh, I’m sorry! I must have slept for a while!”
The blonde hair that was loosely braided and hung down randomly.
The golden eyes that showed
stubbornness .
I almost didn’t recognize it at first because the skeleton was so big, but when I looked at the face, it was
clear
. until you get kicked out Aren’t you so apologetic! Don’t be mean. Ah, the word ‘thin’ is a bit difficult, isn’t it?”
It was Einar, the second daughter of Pnellin.
