Episode 38.7
The morning after, Lecan tried using . But it wouldn't activate.
Doesn't look it's reusable cos morning.
went to the dungeon after finding out Lecan and Arios wouldn't go anywhere again today. Though they're not diving in, they're going to look for their adventurer friends and talk to them. Lecan had no clue why they'd do that, he just replied back with, 'yea'.
Their armor still wasn't done yet that day. He got yelled at for coming there every single day. The repair would be done on the 24th. Three more days.
He tried using once again at noon, but it was still no good.
mbers ca back and they had dinner together. Nark said they didn't have to pay for dinner. He knows these five are guarding them.
"Don't think you need to worry much. Lecan, yer' not just a depth-walker, yer' an adventurer who reached the unattainable floor 'fter all. They ain't gonna take yer' life just cause you killed one or two nobles."
So actually agreed with Nark in this. Even in Lecan's old world, nobles tend to avoid ssing with depth walking adventurers. But he's unsure how it's like in this world. Besides, he killed this noble after marching into his workplace. It's going to affect their public persona if it's left alone.
"Have adventurers ever killed nobles in this town before."
"So of them did. It's always adventurers who killed nobles though."
"Hou. How'd it co to that."
"Well, most are probably cuz those nobles tried forcing those adventurers to sell them items. Not like I know much. 's leader, Vangard has killed three nobles as far as I'm aware."
"What?"
"Though most adventurers who had noble blood in their hands usually got killed by poison, curse or assassins once they got older and weaker. Those guys ain't gonna die easy."
Yoana joined in Lecan's and Nark's conversation.
"You're let alive while you're still profitable. Then get ditched in the gutter once you're not. Gotta be ready for that if you kill a noble. But Lecan, you can just leave this town."
"Yeah, that's how it's like with other adventurers. They're not gonna keel over willingly. Not when they can just head over other dungeons."
Bruska offered his wisdom here.
"Well, yeah. We've seen actual people doing that in reality. However, folks tend to get their common sense desensitized from fighting so many magic beasts. They just beca standoffish. And besides."
Bruska gulped his booze before resuming.
"Hired assassins probably get sent to chase after them even to other dungeons."
"Those nobles surely can afford top-notch assassins too."
"Hou. Top-notch assassins huh."
"Lecan. You look gleeful. It's scaring a bit."
Arios drank his liquor in silent.
Co to think of it, knight Baiad said this, 'Never ss with depth walking adventurers, I've always been reminding you just that.' The noble side would incur a huge loss and it would only result in one less capable adventurer after all. Moreso when Lecan is the sole adventurer who has reached floor 121 now.
aning the incident this ti should be over.
(No.)
(That can't be right.)
The townlord side is aware that Lecan has reached floor 121.
And that he's got a .
There's no way they'd just leave Lecan alone.
Besides, knight Torog's standing was far too high up to forget the incident ever existed. His father, sothing sothing Benchara surely wouldn't sit idly.
But how are they gonna co at him. Lecan can't fathom it.
Since sothing sothing Benchara is a knight commander, he might launch a full-on assault with the knights. As these knights, excluding the commander, are pretty skilled themselves, Lecan likely cannot win in a direct confrontation against such a large group.
However, he's got a feeling that it won't co to that.
Bringing out the entire knights might succeed in taking Lecan's life, but that sothing sothing Benchara should also be aware that Lecan would aim for his life right on the outset. And the guy doesn't seem to be the type that employs a frontal collision tactic.
They're sure to co.
Hence he cannot let his guard down.
"Oh and, Lecan."
Bruska spoke with a lowered volu.
"Hm?"
"Not sure if it's related to this matter, but we've been hearing so weird rumors lately."
"Weird rumors?"
"Apparently more and more adventurers have gone missing."
"Hou?"
" are adventuring around last floor like usual. But, there's been less sightings of other parties. They don't co back to their inn either."
don't really associate with adventurers, nor are they familiar with 's situation. Even so, adventurers stick out like a sore thumb. Soone sowhere would bound to see them whenever they're out and about.
(Hmm?)
(That is weird.)
(But it's got nothing to do with .)
That night, Lecan investigated the working of .
Then after a certain point, it was finally usable.
(Perhaps.)
(It's been a full day since its last activation last night.)
(So it's usable again.)
aning this ring requires one full day before it can be used again once it's been activated.
