Fabian rushed to the drawing room.
Fabian rembered the dungeon that the little wind wizard had ntioned.
It was an unusual dungeon because it was a dungeon with a predominantly fire attribute.
In most cases, the attributes of a dungeon are not known until you enter it, but if a particular attribute is too strong, magic power will leak from around the gate.
The attribute of this dungeon, which he learned that way, was exactly wood.
‘In the first round, they chose a unit of the Black Knights and one of the expeditions with the fire wizards.’
Of course, the Black Knights alone could have closed the dungeon, but on the grounds that it was not fair, the other expeditions were given a chance.
Fla wizards that were level 50. That was the minimum requirent.
In the first round, he tried to break the dungeon himself. However, being a fla wizard, his level was too low to join the attack.
How frustrating it was to hear that a rare artifact had been found in a dungeon he missed!
But this ti was different. Fabian had raised his level enough to be ready for this ti.
But it was all for nothing if he couldn’t make it to the position where the expeditions were gathered.
He would petition the emperor to join the dungeon because it was a right only an expedition leader could have.
Fabian quickened his pace.
‘How dare you lure out at a ti like this… Don’t tell that you went out of your way to lure to a distant place so that I wouldn’t be able to participate in this expedition?’
But then that wind wizard interrupted them and ruined their conversation.
It was a little suspicious, considering Jun’s nonchalant attitude, but he couldn’t think of any other reason.
Fabian managed to reach the reception room. Deca, who had been standing on the ground while waiting for Fabian, hurriedly caught Fabian’s arm.
“So are you, and so is April. The Imperial Palace is buzzing, where did you all go and finally co back?”
As soon as Deca’s words fell, April arrived, a step behind Fabian. April’s face was darker than ever.
“Sorry. I was a little sick.”
“The healer is sick. Phew… Are you okay? You haven’t looked happy since yesterday.”
Deca asked in a sullen voice. April gave a small shake of her head.
“I just didn’t feel well. I’m okay now.”
“Be careful. Anyway, let’s co back early and take our seats. If you’re in the middle or lower zone, you’ll miss out on a good seat if you don’t go ahead and get one. We have to sit as far forward as possible and get in the eyes of the Emperor.”
Deca hurried him on. An unnatural smile appeared on Fabian’s mouth as Deca’s hand pushed him back.
The emperor was old enough to be dead anyway, and there was no value in listening to him.
Of course, there was nothing wrong with looking good to the emperor. Because the emperor had his own stronghold.
Until now, the Black Knights had been responsible for capturing the dungeons that arose from the emperor’s base, but every once in a while, other expeditions were given the opportunity, like this dungeon.
Perhaps Deca was hoping that the emperor would take a good look at them and they would be able to take a step into that dungeon.
But even that kind of desperation felt dirty to Fabian.
As if he had to scrape every last penny out of his pocket to pay for sothing.
Fabian let out a small cough as he felt his throat tighten.
As if to mock him, Jun was slowly passing by, just following yer.
As soon as the Black Knights appeared, people split and made a way for them.
They were struggling left and right to get their own seats…
They all looked at the Black Knights with envy.
Fabian glared at yer’s back as he walked by Jun’s side with a blazing look in his eyes.
That position used to be my position, the one I held, the one I won, the one that was mine…
After struggling so hard to get up there, I had to crawl back up from the bottom.
At the ti of the second round, he had thought he would be able to get up to his position quickly, but with Jun’s arrival, everything got complicated.
While Fabian was gnashing his teeth, people were seated at large tables. Fabian was able to find a suitable seat in ti.
Shortly thereafter, the emperor appeared. Supported by his attendants, he sat on the most gorgeous throne at the round table and asked.
“Okay. What’s going on?”
The ssenger who had been asked of the news opened his mouth nervously when all the eyes of the expeditions were focused on him.
“A dungeon has suddenly appeared in the Minor Forest near the Imperial Palace. It is presud that it is at least a dungeon beyond the walls.”
“Beyond the walls?”
Everyone was buzzing. Everyone gasped at the arrival of a high-level dungeon.
No matter how many expedition mbers had been in dungeons, they were still afraid of dungeons. In fact, they were more afraid of them because they knew them so well.
Of course, with the Black Knights, it wouldn’t be a big deal…
“Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to be over level 60.”
Only then were breathing sounds heard here and there.
“What is this doing every year during the performance briefing session?”
“Co to think of it, it was like this last year.”
“They must have picked the wrong day for the performance debriefing.”
The middle and low-level expedition mbers were still nervous, but those who had conquered high-level dungeons joked about it.
One of the people who had been exchanging words like that ca out with dignity.
“This dungeon will be solved by my Wind Direction Expedition, Your Majesty.”
“The ssenger’s report is not over yet, so I’ll decide after I finish it.”
The emperor raised his hand to interrupt the leader of the Wind Direction Expedition. At that mont, the round table finally fell silent for a while. The ssenger who had breathed in for a while opened his mouth again.
“This dungeon is an attribute dungeon. According to the expedition mbers who checked the gate, there is a high probability that it is wood. You can enter up to two units.”
It flowed the sa way as the first round. Fabian’s lips drew a small arc line.
“It’s a wood attribute dungeon with up to two units allowed to enter…”
The emperor murmured, stroking his white beard.
“There was a fire mage in the Black Knights.”
As soon as the emperor’s words fell, yer said as he rose from his seat.
“I am yer Knox. If Your Majesty commands it, I will use my Red Wolf troops to close that dungeon right now.”
“Yes, I’d feel a lot safer if your fla mage went.”
The emperor nodded encouragingly.
Fabian clucked his tongue in frustration at yer’s every move.
“Then I’ll leave one unit to the Black Knights, and the other unit… Wind Direction Expeditionary Force. Do you have any fla wizards among you?”
“… I’m sorry, but we don’t have a fla wizard in our expedition team, Your Majesty.”
The leader of the Wind Direction expedition lanted in a frustrated voice. The emperor looked around and asked.
“Does anyone have a fla wizard over level 50?”
With his anger towards yer, he couldn’t let this opportunity pass him by.
Fabian ca to his senses and shouted as he quickly rose from his seat.
“I am Fabian Ignis of the Fabian Expeditionary Force, a fla mage over level 50.”
“F-Fabian.”
The Fabian expedition mbers, who had not yet gained enough experience in high-level dungeons, rolled their eyes anxiously.
Lack of high spirits.
But no matter how much they didn’t like it, he had to do it with them. He had relied on them so much before, and now he felt as if they were dragging him down for so reason.
Instead of reassuring the expedition mbers, Fabian looked only at the emperor in the distance of the round table with a firm gaze.
At that mont, his eyes t for a mont with Jun, who was standing behind the Black Knight yer, who sat next to the Emperor. Her face hardened. She didn’t seem to think that he had raised his level this high.
The euphoria of a small victory stung Fabian.
“Good. Then I’ll give you and your expedition a chance. You’ll close the dungeon with the Black Knights!”
The order of the emperor had co. Fabian then smiled brightly and bowed his head.
“I will obey Your Majesty’s orders!”
Fabian’s eyes lit up at the bottom of his bow.
She said she’d see him later, so they would have to face each other again.
Jun’s ti of regret was not far off.
Fabian let his unrequited affection for Jun burn through his hands.
He didn’t even know that fire had spread through him, and he didn’t know that it was his mistake, to the extent of that.
CHAPTER 13. The Beginning of Ruin
Ah, I thought I was going to die from managing my facial expressions.
I slipped out of the reception room and caught my breath.
This was all yer’s fault. He was always telling I can’t manage my facial expressions, and it’s been bothering .
Fabian was fully expected to play in this dungeon.
He missed that dungeon by five levels in the first round, which was a sha to him. He was even more disappointed when he found out that the dungeon produced the Pumpkin of Fulgor.
Fulgor’s Pumpkin was a gem-shaped artifact made of hardened pine resin from a wood monster. The item was dropped by a wood monster, but it had a very rare lightning attribute.
Fulgor’s Pumpkin was an artifact that allowed anyone with magic to use the magic.
If you infuse the pumpkin with magic power, you can use the lightning inheritance magic ‘Scorpion Lightning.’
Only those with magical power could use it, but it was an item worth a thousand bucks because it could be utilized with dual attributes.
In particular, Fabian could not let go of his regret for the artifact because it was a good combination with Jeanne, the ice wizard Fabian had with him.
In the first round, of course, the Black Knights took the artifact.
‘Of course, just because it’s the second round doesn’t an that will change. It belongs to the Black Knights again this round.’
