Chapter 261
Evan D. Sherden. Becoming the Count (4).
The turmoil caused by the opening of the Dungeon did not abate easily after a few weeks. People continued to challenge the Dungeon for fear of falling behind others even though they knew it had beco difficult, and the number of deaths increased as ti went by.
“When will the situation be settled?”
“Wouldn’t it at least take another month? It will take ti until people realize that there’s nothing special about hunting the early boss first, except the outside dungeons.”
When Shine sighed at the advance of explorers filling the streets whilst speaking, Evan responded indiscriminately while also monitoring and supervising the new construction of the Brotherhood Brewery on the outskirts of the street.
“To acquire a discriminatory reward from the Sherden Dungeon, a quick fix alone is not enough.”
“Whether it be a hidden boss or secret passage, the Sherden Dungeon exclusively offers rewards to extrely demanding challenges and secret-seeking exploration.”
“Yes. And that’s just an additional elent. The only thing humans need to pursue in the dungeon is a powerful encounter to beco stronger.”
The dungeon itself was a bridgehead for the demons to invade the human community. God and His subordinates had intervened and made it possible for humans to counter the Demons and grow effectively.
Most of the available goods from the dungeons were just a ans to make humans more active.
Of course, there were valuable treasures, like the feathers of Phoenix, that could only be born in a particular environnt—in a Dungeon.
However, it was not attainable by hasty exploration.
Indeed, after the Great Change, the dungeon had beco so wide and deep that it wasn’t comparable to the previous one. The wild explorers that rushed into the dungeon et their end before even facing the true nature of the dungeon.
“Well, once they are dead, and the danger and difficulty of the dungeon are clear, it’ll be our turn.”
“It seems like you will indeed go into the dungeon.”
“We have to draw up guidelines for the Marquis’ knights and soldiers, and also raise Diona.”
Shine grinned at Evan’s calm words and replied, “You really are an Indoja.”
“Shut up.”
Indoja—also known as a leader—was the na for the second class Evan had earned in the past dungeon.
The class did not amplify or assist an individual’s ability, but it did amplify the power of every person who truly followed Evan by 30%, even doubling one’s growth rate. It really was the best ability in the leader class!
Like Waedo, the class of external affairs, it was a class that had never been seen in gas, but in fact, the ability of this class itself was so powerful that it was enough to bow to God. Just by leading the party mbers, Evan could enhance the power of the whole party!
There was nothing wrong with the Indoja class itself, but out of all things, his first title Waedo was the problem…
“Indoja of Waedo… Leader of external affairs. It sounds like I’m about to take people and build a pseudo-religion.”
“I don’t think that’s bad either. Will you give a seat if you make one?”
“No. You will be the first offering in a sacrificial ritual.”
“That is too harsh.”
“Master!”
“Ah, Maybell.”
While Evan was conversing with Shine and supervising the construction site, Maybell suddenly appeared as usual and reported progress one after another.
“The negotiations with the Bloody Apple, Phoenix, and Hit Shield are all sorted. The three guilds promised to exclusively supply raw materials to the Brotherhood Brewery if the item list is made properly.”
“For the item list, I planned to distribute with the collection thod from the beginning. What about the general explorers?”
“They are blinded by a greater reward, so it seems they do not care about minor requests yet, just as I expected.”
“I thought so. But make sure you advertise thoroughly. The building’s construction will be completed soon, so you need to hire staff as well.”
“Yes. By the way, Master,” Maybell nodded and said as if she had just rembered.
“The Marquis will hold the Dungeon Festival in July.”
“Ah… I forgot about it.”
Three years ago, the Dungeon Festival was canceled, of course. Despite the Bloody Apple, Dungeon Knights, and Evan’s outstanding performance, Sherden had relatively little damage, but one couldn’t ignore all the tragic events.
And so, it was not until this year that the postponed Dungeon Festival was held again. Instead, the festival, which would have been held in October, was moved to July.
“It seems appropriate to hold it in July. Everyone would have cald down a bit, and it’s good to celebrate the opening of the dungeon.”
However, the problem was whether the backflow of the dungeon would burst in there. Although the backflow did not occur for so ti, the dungeon was closed for a long ti.
Also, one decided not to rely entirely on the information of the ga, so putting one’s mind at rest was forbidden.
“Should I talk to my father and brother about that matter? I’m not going to be out this ti, and I will prepare for another attack properly.”
“Sherden’s soldiers have beco remarkably strong. It will be alright.”
Another thing that Evan regretted during the Demon Invasion was that he did not foster more soldiers.
Of course, Evan tried his best to train the soldiers with his secret tactics, but they could not counter Demons or high-ranking monsters.
After that, Evan spread training thods specialized in defense and tracking capabilities throughout the Sherden army, directly monitoring and supervising them and training them vigorously. He collaborated with the chief-of-army Mikhail D. Aerock, and trained the soldiers even harder.
Although the number of soldiers reduced due to the tragedy of that day, the Sherden army grew incomparably stronger as a result. Now, the Sherden guards were famous for their strength that even amateur explorers could not penetrate.
‘Now, it is necessary to choose and foster the best of them, especially the soldiers and knights with attacking skills.’
The dungeon was open. The Yo-Ma Great War 3’s scenario would soon begin. In other words, full-scale clashes with the Demon tribe were imminent.
It wasn’t enough to protect many if only Evan himself and the Dungeon Knights were strong.
He would accomplish everything he could by any ans, and at all costs.
“What about the things we talked about then? Any new signs?”
“No, not yet.”
“Hmm.”
The early weapon of the Yo-Ma Great War 3 was Sherden, but in the anti, the main character would get involved in events that occurred here and there, and the event would rapidly intensify.
The Demon tribe’s filthy and secret work happening in the globe; humans who hard others at the instigation of the demons; Jundong of the Gandae monster tribe who resisted Demons and despised humans even more; the impending battle against the pseudo-religious institution that stems from Yo-Ma Great War 3…
Such big events tended to bode little by little even before they appeared on the surface, but so far, there seed to be no problem.
‘It may be because the ga officially starts two years from now. But the reverse in the dungeon began much earlier than expected. One can’t rule out the possibility that the types of events have changed completely, and one must be alert to any possible circumstances.’
Rather than that, Evan looked to Maybell, who was staring at him, said he heard enough about the report, waved his hands, and murmured, ” I have no idea where and what the damn protagonist is doing now. The sooner we find him, the more advantages we have…”
“You an ‘Na’, right?”
“Yes.”
If one must choose the best-talented one out of all the Yo-Ma Great War Series except for the Yo-Ma Great War Zero, the protagonist of Yo-Ma Great War 3 will be the one without a doubt.
Of course, Leo, the protagonist of the Yo-Ma Great War 2, had such talents, but he grew slowly, putting himself in extre circumstances.
On the other hand, the protagonist of Yo-Ma Great War 3 ca up to the dungeon city with a dream of becoming an explorer at the age of 18. And he did beco the strongest person in the world in just a few years; in every aspect, he was an innately talented man, unlike Leo.
‘It frustrates . He is the luckiest, most talented man with a lot of won. Damn it. It’s so unfair.’
If soone else had overheard Evan’s thoughts, one would have said, “Who the hell are you talking about?” However, Evan didn’t care about that.
Anyway, as soon as Evan gets Na, Evan would be sure to be harsh on him. Of course, Evan didn’t want to be with Na, so Evan wouldn’t allow him to join the Dungeon Knights. However, Evan did believe in Arisha, but one couldn’t trust the main character, Na. Evan would make sure to keep him away from himself.
However, Na couldn’t be found…
“Are you sure he is from the Silk Line, Master?”
“Yes, he cos from a remote mountain village on the Silk Line.”
Yo-Ma Great War 3 would begin when the protagonist (Na) arrived at Sherden with a dream of becoming an explorer in the spring when he turned 18.
More precisely, it all started from a collision with Renail, a training wizard who was the sa age as the main character, not Arisha, another main character of Yo-Ma Great War 3.
A lively girl with a blue-haired ponytail and exploring spirit. Arisha was Arisha, but one couldn’t ignore her aristocratic origins.
In the ga, if Arisha appeared as a beautiful and untouchable lady of noble status, supporting the main character and giving him the motivation to grow, Renail grew up together next to the main character and supported him ntally from the beginning.
The protagonist who ca to the dungeon city without knowing anything about it depended heavily on her, and his ignorance creates several minor incidents. But as a result, their relationship deepened in the process of solving the case together… Well, to put it simply, such a pattern was the easiest to follow.
“It feels weird to hear you summarize things like that… Oh, but I’m always a very easy target for you! Congrats on earning my heart already!”
“What do you an very easy? I did nothing, but sohow you fell in love with !”
Maybell seed to be controlling herself these days, but did she change her plan to approach again? Shine tilted her head and spoke, “The attack is complete,” as Evan was desperately pushing Maybell, who claid she earned Evan’s heart, away.
“Your prediction this ti seems familiar in the novel. Many stories tend to start when boys and girls et.”
“Shine, you sotis say such useless but accurate things. Anyways. Maybell, what is Renail doing?”
Maybell, who created a rcenary and information guild, has gathered information about Renail earlier, as Renail was deeply related to Na.
“Renail is practicing in the dark tower of Pellati, as always. The report from a week ago says she won’t co out for a long ti.”
“Just as I expected.”
“Master, what are you going to do with her information?”
“Good question. Well, I will thoroughly observe Renail from the mont she cos to Sherden.
Even if I cannot find the main character, she is bound to et the main character!”
“…Really? Are you sure about that?” said Shine.
“To be honest, no.”
Evan burst into laughter. He was surprisingly accurate unless it was about him.
“It’s just my wish. There’s a good chance they won’t be able to see each other because sothing trivial goes wrong. I’m just watching her because I think they’re likely to et. In fact, we are searching for the main character differently.”
Already, this world was different from the ga in every way. Evan knew it better than anyone.
Nevertheless, that Evan expected Renail to et Na perhaps was not his prediction, but his wish.
This was a wish that stemd from the good mories of playing Yo-Ma Great War 3.
Evan wanted to see Renail and Na, the symbols of the battle, together.
There was also a wish that the two of them would get along together, and that Arisha wouldn’t dare intervene.
If Arisha tried to approach them, there was no main character or anything. She would be ruled out in a very unpleasant way and forced to hunt down the Demon King.
“Oh, Master. How surprising. I just got a new report about her.”
“Her?”
It was then that Maybell had put her hand on her ear, looked startled, and said, “The report of Renail you just ntioned.”
She had a communicator in one ear that she could hear reports regardless of the location since she beca the guild manager.
After Maybell heard a report from a mysterious servant, she opened her eyes slightly and looked back at Evan.
“She’s getting ready to get out of the tower!”
And she continued her report to an anxious Evan.
