Episode 50.14
Lecan got back at his inn near dawn and went right to bed.
Once he got up, he had breakfast in his room while explaining the plan from then on to Eda and Chubby.
They waited for knight Futsla's arrival who then led to the west gate. Knight Futsla had two squires bring horses with them but Lecan refused to ride on those horses.
Departing the west gate, he ran with Eda toward the dungeon. Knight Futsla was on horseback but his horse couldn't gain speed on the steep roads. They left him behind. He was screaming sothing, Lecan paid it no heed.
To begin with, there's no point to Futsla guiding them once they've left the west gate. He got a map detailing a route from Yufonia to the dungeon's entrance from Nodlein and the road was very straightforward.
Running on hill roads was tough but both of them took Stamina Restoratives and had cast multiple tis along the way, they arrived at the dungeon entrance by noon. It was covered in snow. It only took them half a day to traverse through a path that should have taken two days. They had a light al and entered the dungeon.
The area beyond the entrance was dimly lit.
Lecan and Eda joined hands before reciting just in case.
A slight floating sensation and then they were on top of a Red Sand Dune before they knew it.
It's bright.
There's not a lot of dungeons this bright.
Neither were there many dungeons with a ceiling this high.
And he's never stepped inside a dungeon this spacious in his life before.
There's a sprawling adow before his eye, with a mountain as a backdrop in the horizon. There should be the Valley area beyond that mountain and Lake and Marsh area to the right of it. Looking back greeted him with a sight of Desert.
"."
Lecan recited the spell and confird that they were able to warp back to the surface from here.
They must check up on several things while they're still in this Red Desert.
Magic beasts don't sense nor attack you while you're here.
And Lecan's won't see beyond the Red Sand Dune. Which ans this would be the stairway area in ordinary dungeons.
"."
Lecan teleported 30 steps ahead instantly.
Genesiac Grace Gear are usable too.
Lastly, Lecan took out and generated its magic blade.
He mowed down a clump of bushes.
It's working without any issue.
He erased the magic blade.
"That should be everything we gotta check for now."
(Gotta be prudent to start off.)
Mountain Area and Valley Area are the two routes he was warned not to take at all cost.
Mountain area has Soaring Dragons. They can fly very fast and sense humans from very far away, thus combats are unavoidable. You simply cannot advance in a small group.
Valley area has Raptors. They fly around without forming a swarm yet can attract more Raptors relatively quickly when engaged, they're nothing but trouble. A small group cannot go through this area.
Desert should be avoided too. It's hard to walk on and saps your stamina, taking you a long ti to pass through. On top of that the spawned magic beasts are extrely tough to deal with.
The Lake and Marsh area is perilous as well, the Knights can't march well there, but Lecan should manage sohow.
Lecan took the map and glared at it.
According to Nodlein, it takes Dungeon Knights two days from departing Yufonia to reaching Dungeon entrance. Despite Lecan's swiftness, Nodlein estimated that it would take Lecan two days as well to arrive at the dungeon entrance.
Then five days from the first adow to the right foot of Mountain. That is if there was no issue along the way.
Afterward, Nodlein estimated it would take Lecan eight days to traverse through Lake and Marsh area, arriving at the Rocky Mountain and going right around the mountain foot to arrive at the second adow.
Then from the second adow to second Rocky Mountain, and circling around the mountain foot again would take seven days.
Crossing the whole adow until entering the part of adow that intersects the Desert area would take six days.
Or so Nodlein forecast. Lecan then must search for Dungeon Knights once he arrived at the last adow area. Even if he managed to find them in six days, it would have taken them 34 days by that point.
Afterward, it would take two days to enter the temple, and three days to defeat the Temple Guardians, the Three Giants, conquering it. Then, from the dungeon entrance to Yufonia would take the knights two days to travel. 41 days in total.
Today is the eighth of month two. Nodlein predicted that their besieging party would likely take a drastic asure if it got to the middle of month three. There's 52 days left until the 20th of month three.
The sooner they could get Dungeon Knights back, the less risk lady Rubianafale would face.
Lecan greatly breathed in to fill his lungs. The air is fresh.
There's so breezes here even though they're inside a dungeon.
"Now then, let's go."
"Un!"
Lecan and Eda broke into run.
There's a sprawling dungeon without end before his eye.
Eda next to him.
He's got a ho he could return to at the end of this adventure.
'I'm glad I ca to this world', thought Lecan from the bottom of his heart.
