69. Exploration Dungeon (3)
Exit the inn.
The boy said he was busy with work, but I didn’t let him go. At the very least, you need to receive guidance in order to pay for the gold coins. When he was threatened, the boy grumbled and ran ahead of the road.
“I can’t do this… I have to finish my work by evening
…”
The boy pursed his lips and secured the suspender bag.
I followed the boy walking fast down the street. The boy was on his way to the inner castle past the intersection where the inn was located. Over the head of the passer-by, the walls of the inner sanctum were visible whitishly.
‘….’
I’m going inside, not outside the city.
I could think of two possibilities.
Either this kid is trying to trick or the dungeon is inside the city.
You will find out when you go there yourself.
Results ca after 5 minutes.
As they moved further into the street, the number of rcenaries increased. There was also a man who was carried away on a stretcher, bleeding profusely from his severed leg.
The boy frowned at the wounded man.
“This is why I didn’t want to co.”
“Looks like the dungeon is inside the city.”
“To be precise, it’s in the center of the city. It’s right next to the temple. This dungeon was created right after Nelsa’s invasion.”
The boy passed through the castle gate into the inner castle.
I saw a familiar building right in front of . A tall tower made of bricks. It was the bell tower that was used for reconnaissance on the 10th floor. It was the sa with the cathedral on the right. According to the boy, it seed to be a temple rather than a cathedral.
‘…That’s it.’
An unfamiliar structure stood out between the bell tower and the temple.
It was a huge staircase going down to the basent. There is a high and strong wire sh around the stairs. A knight in gorgeous silver armor stands at the entrance in the middle of the wire sh. Near the wire sh, rcenaries and street vendor priests were scattered everywhere.
“Those stairs are the entrance to the dungeon. It’s easy to spot, right?”
“It doesn’t look like anything.”
“Ah. If there’s nothing special, would you stand guard like that? In the dungeon, besides the stones I ntioned, various treasures are pouring out. Gold coins, jewels, and even expensive equipnt! It’s truly a treasure mine. Well, you can’t co out if you ss around.”
A party of two n and a woman tried to enter the stairs.
A knight blocked the way. The leading man stepped up and submitted a silver shiny tile.
“The Church monopolizes the ownership of the dungeon. They make a profit by selling passes like that. They take a certain amount of treasure from inside. They’re pure bullies.”
I nodded.
It seems you can’t get in for free.
“Anyway, I think I paid for the gold coins at this level, can I go back?”
“Good job. Go.”
I could have taken it all day, but I decided to stop.
I asked everything to know. Finding the rest on your own will not suffice.
“If you have any other questions, co visit us. At that ti, we will serve you.”
“Do you know where you are?”
“You have to find out yourself!”
The boy hesitated and quickly made his way through the passers-by.
I sat down at the base of a tree so distance from the stairs. Passes can be purchased with gold coins. You might even go see it yourself. But I didn’t an to.
The party mbers had been left behind, and there was not enough ti to attack.
The expected return ti briefly displayed at the top of the field of view indicated 45 hours.
If you look at the rcenaries entering the dungeon, all of them are carrying their burdens. Cooking utensils were visible through the cracks in the open bag. It ant that it would be difficult to attack in a day or two.
Reconvening the party mbers sent to rest is also not correct.
Noticing the current status of Priasis and the existence of a dungeon where Advent Stones can be obtained. Inco was sufficient with just two pieces of information.
co back later
After finding soone I can trust even if the waiting room is empty for a long ti.
This completes the general information gathering.
‘I have nothing to do.’
I was scratching my head.
The work was over in less than a day. It would be okay to ask nearby rcenaries about the dungeon, but I’m not too keen on it.
In the first place, the rcenaries are paying attention, but few enter.
Those who can cross the wall and those who cannot. Most probably the latter.
As a result of observation for about 30 minutes, the ratio is less than 10 to 1.
However, it seed that if a person who could pass went ahead, his comrades would be able to enter as well. Therefore, it ans that they have co to wear a goopsari. They were looking around for anyone who could pass alone.
I folded my arms and lost myself in thought.
I’m sure I can get over it.
There is ti left anyway. Even if I take a break, there is nothing that interests .
‘Let’s gather a party and go in.’
Before I saw it.
If sothing happens, just throw it away and co out.
When I woke up, soone pulled my collar.
“Brother, you’re still here!”
It was the boy who left half an hour ago.
The boy was strangely agitated.
“What is it? He said he was going to work.”
“That’s it. I went to the jewelry store to appraise the gold coin my brother gave , but it seems to be more expensive than I thought. It’s a gold coin that was used in ancient tis or sothing.”
“so?”
“Well, that’s…”
“I can’t give it anymore. Sowhere to eat small crabs raw.”
“It’s not!”
The boy puffed up his cheeks and raised his voice.
“It’s free. It’s free. Don’t you want to receive the service I ntioned earlier?”
“I don’t feel like it.”
“You seem to be interested in witches, but there are unsaid rumors.”
The boy looked around and put his mouth close to my ear.
“Actually, that witch was frad by the church…”
“I know. No need to say.”
“Eek! What do you an? I figured it out the hard way!”
I got up from my seat.
I was trying to explore a dungeon. My excitent has gone cold because of this kid.
The boy chased after .
“Don’t follow .”
“Then I’ll give you a tour of the city! I know all the delicious restaurants. I used to work as a guide.”
“You say you don’t need it, why do you keep bothering ?”
I shook off the boy and headed out of the closet.
First of all, in order to properly use gold coins, you need to exchange them. I was going to the jewelry store. The boy caught up next to him and spoke urgently.
“It’s because my brother and my sister look alike!”
“Brother?”
“Black hair and black eyes! Hyung, you’re from an eastern minority? There’s a similar guy among the kids I take with him. Although he’s very young.”
I stopped.
It was because the scene at the ti of the promotion suddenly ca to mind. A child who was being raised by a woman in a small room before being called by him. The child also had dark hair and dark eyes.
‘When I first ca, Isel told that I was from the Heim Peninsula.’
The stage of the expedition was the Heim Peninsula.
There was an unusual sll.
“It was because it was strange that I spoke to him for the first ti. It was the first ti I’d seen anyone other than him. His na was…”
“Don’t tell .”
“yes?”
“Shut up.”
“It’s not even a very special na…”
I looked down at the boy.
The boy shrank and nodded his head.
‘Not yet.’
Beyond that, there are plenty of things to think about.
I didn’t want to add one more worry.
“Where’s the jeweler?”
I said as I continued walking.
The stiff boy smiled and started guiding.
It’s free, but it’s not free. I could tell from the boy’s chatter.
“Where did you get the ancient gold coins? I heard that they only co from high-level dungeons.”
“Hyung, you’re a dungeon hunter? That’s very strong. You can feel it just by looking at it. Or would you spread such a treasure casually?”
“Is it because you didn’t know about the rumors because you stayed in the dungeon for a long ti?”
I completely ignored the boy’s question.
Exchange gold coins for lots of coins at the jeweler. The owner was an old man who seed stubborn. Seeing that he didn’t cringe, he didn’t seem to have any worries about getting hit. When I asked for the source, he replied that he had received it.
“Where can I buy things in the dungeon?”
“Dungeon loot is handled by the rcenary Association. If you listen to …”
“Are you an idiot? If I were a hunter, would I ask you about the dungeon?”
“But…”
The boy had a desperate expression for so reason.
“Guide .”
On the second floor of the rcenary Association, there was a display stand dealing with loot.
Advent stone, a key item, was not handled, but various other items were sold. The person in charge said that various luxurious magic weapons were excavated from the dungeon and were being sold.
There I was reunited with Jenna.
“Oh, oppa. He went alone.”
Coming here ans that you have grasped the existence of the dungeon.
unchangingly quick-witted
“What about that bow?”
I asked.
Jenna had a large bow in her hand.
The bow decorated with gold and silver looked luxurious even at a glance.
“Your brother said before that you also need a longbow. The clerk recomnded it, so I picked it up. They say it’s enchanted, doesn’t it look good? They say you can buy it for two gold coins.”
’emotion.’
[Gorgeous longbow]
[Grade – D-]
[Magic!]
[It looks luxurious, but it is not very effective as a longbow.]
[Remarks – ‘Enhancent of durability’ magic is applied.]
Grade is D minus.
You can use it sohow, but at that level, it’s worse than using the shortbow I gifted you.
“Trash.”
“They say it’s under a spell. There’s nothing to spend money on.”
“Buy sothing more valuable with that money.”
I pointed to the various stones lined up in the corner of the counter like cheap ones.
It seed that no one was buying, so they were disposing of the stock. Jenna’s eyes twinkled.
“That’s… an attribute stone!”
“The Master will like it if I take it. It’s a material for an upgrade seat.”
“Is that so? Then this longbow…”
“Throw it away.”
In addition to the lower attribute stones, several items stood out.
What was noteworthy was the reclaid stone. The regeneration stone is an item that allows you to experience the boss stage that was closed due to clearing, and although you cannot get experience points, only the mission experience can be delivered to the hero as it is.
It’s an item that doesn’t co out often, but I’m lucky enough to see a few.
It will be very useful for new heroes joining the 1st and 2nd parties. I swept it away. The lack of money was robbed by Jenna.
“Who is that kid?”
Jenna nodded as she ca out from shopping.
The boy was examining and Jenna with an awkward face.
“Never mind. I don’t know him.”
“Mo, I don’t know! I’m this person’s exclusive guide. My na is Yoshu.”
“Okay, good bye.”
I asked everything to ask.
Evening was late. I was thinking of going to the inn and staying there. And tomorrow, as promised, you have to play with Jenna.
“I…”
“Did you have any debt?”
“Brother, listen! I have a secret investnt plan…”
It’s annoying.
I could scare you away, but I don’t agree.
I tossed the gold coin I received from Jenna.
“Uh, that’s…”
“There’s only one left.
” One gold coin. It was enough for playing and eating as long as it wasn’t used in strange places.
Yoshu
cringed and accepted the gold coin.
“Thank you, brother! Sister!”
If I tried to hit the back of the head without thinking, I wouldn’t have let go.
It doesn’t feel like too much, but it was a reward that I guided sincerely in my own way.
“This is enough…”
“This is enough?
” Thanks for the investnt!”
I said with a smile,
“Investnt. Do you want to start a business?”
“Details are confidential, investor! Because it can’t be known. However, I will definitely return the favor. I swear!”
“You don’t have to pay it back. It’s worth nothing to .”
“No, I can’t live without debt. If there’s anything you want, let know. Ah, first of all, the na of the benefactor…”
There is not much to be expected.
I thought moderately and then opened my mouth.
“That witch, help if you have a chance.”
“Yes?”
Yoshu widened
his eyes. I left Yoshu alone and ran out into the street. Jenna caught up and said,
“What were you talking about? Who is the witch?”
“You know the kid we saved. It’s him.”
We had a conversation and headed towards the inn.
‘Co to think of it, Aaron isn’t there.’
I thought I was going to be with Jenna.
When I asked, he said that he had left the city to find a place to be alone.
I shook my head. I
think he went to Vona Mana training.
When I return to the waiting room, the break for the 1st party will be over.
Also, the last mber of the party . Either Belquist or Nerissa was the likely choice. Or it could be both.
I looked back and
saw Yoshu wandering around the street. It
was the place I would co back to get the Advent Stone anyway.
I took a step
