Chapter 28
Episode 28 Crack (2)
Daria Witember di Tersia.
A 5th year explorer, she was currently wandering around the 1st floor crystal cave.
With a younger brother who was only young in her eyes.
“Erwen used the spirit again.”
“Ah, unnie, that’s too difficult with just a dagger…” ”
I told you. You should be able to defend yourself even in a situation where you can’t use spirits without a bow.”
“No, I understand that…….”
“If you keep walking around and practicing, you will get better.”
Tersia took Erwen to the first floor and harshly practiced combat.
It was all for my little brother.
And my brother didn’t know that either.
But the longer the time went on, the more tired I could see at a glance.
“Ah, Mr. said it’s good to specialize in what you do best……”
“…What?”
“Believe in the team and do your best in what you do. That’s the basics of being an explorer…”
Tersia, who had been listening blankly, was speechless.
Because it’s too simplistic.
Wouldn’t it be nice if the world just went right like that?
“Erwen’s colleagues are just colleagues. Don’t put too much value on them.”
Tersia has experienced many teams.
From the exploration team on the 6th floor, which he belonged to not too long ago, to the hunting team targeting only certain lucrative monsters, and the running team aiming for the opening of the portal.
I went with a lot of people and went through a lot of things. Among them, there were many things I wouldn’t want to tell Erwen.
Colleagues can’t be trusted.
I don’t know if it’s a family that is connected by blood.
“Okay…….”
Erwen didn’t say anything back to Tersia’s hard expression.
Time passed like that, and it was the fourth day.
After walking around the first floor in a clockwise direction, Erwen grew to the point where he could defeat all the monsters with just one dagger.
In the process, my level naturally rose.
“Hey sister? I got a promotion, can’t I just go to the second floor now? You must be making a lot of money on the second floor by now…….”
Tersia laughed as if she was cute.
What’s the point of catching a few more monsters on the second floor?
“Erwen, the rift will open soon.”
crack.
A place where even senior adventurers who have been in business for several years cannot enter even once if they are unlucky.
Erwen tilted his head.
“How does your sister know that?”
“It was eight months ago that the last crack opened on the first floor.”
Tersia kindly explained one by one as if she were dealing with a younger brother.
Since today is 4 days, the statistical reason why the rift will inevitably open in the next 3 days.
“I see… He didn’t say that.”
yes it will
Erwen always sang the old man’s old man’s song, but he was still a beginner after all.
By now, you must be walking up the floor recklessly, going through trial and error, and continuing what would be the height of inefficiency from the experiencer’s point of view.
“Erwen, don’t be impatient and trust your sister. Even after a year, there will be a huge gap between you and the barbarian.”
Sometimes the slow way is the fastest way.
“Eh… Then I can help you then!”
“Yes, yes.”
Tersia nodded her head in admiration.
Until then, it is unknown whether the barbarian will be alive, and even if so, it is okay to stop it then.
At least my brother wanted him to keep his innocence.
That was the time when I thought to myself.
Deed deed deed deed!
As if there was an earthquake, the labyrinth began to shake.
What happens when a crack opens.
“Erwen!”
Tersia held Erwen’s hand and ran through the aisle at full speed. And soon I found a portal that was shaking uneasy.
It was a crack.
There must have been thousands of portals like this all over the first floor by now.
Now, every minute and every second is an important time fight.
Whoa!
Tersia threw herself into the portal with Erwen.
But at that moment.
Huung-
The portal has disappeared.
dump.
Soon after, Tersia, who crossed the air and landed on the bare ground, clicked her tongue in regret.
“…You’re a step late.”
Rather than entering at the same time, if only the younger brother had been put in quickly, he might have succeeded in entering.
But…
“…There will be another opportunity next time.”
Can not help it.
What would he do if his younger brother entered the rift alone and died?
“Let’s go to the second floor of Erwen.”
Again, sometimes the slow road is fast.
***
Equivalent exchange.
I really like this word.
Unfortunately, the world does not run according to this law.
Just looking at meeting a psychopath bitch, that’s the case.
I barely survived, but I didn’t get anything.
‘No, on the contrary, I was kicked out of the land of the dead and only wasted time.’
But this time it’s different.
This time I made a choice.
Therefore, there will definitely be a price to follow.
um maybe
thud.
Looking at the other two matched as team members, a human man and woman, I raised my tension.
The man who landed with a heavy sound had no distinctive features, but
the woman was different.
widely.
The woman fell slowly and landed lightly, as if defying the influence of gravity.
The talkative Dwarf also opened his mouth wide at this sight and couldn’t hide his surprise.
I was all one too.
“I never thought I’d see a wizard here.”
Wizard.
The strongest job in [Dungeon and Stone] in name and reality that is treated wherever you go with just that status.
“Is the wizard Bjorn such a great being? The librarian was also a wizard!”
At Einar’s question, the sorceress frowned as if in displeasure.
I opened my mouth quickly before I looked bad.
“The librarian is a 9th level wizard.”
“Is it something else?”
different.
A lot of it too.
If they were an upper-class working class working in a guild or a public institution workshop, this woman could be said to be a real wizard.
The fact that he entered the labyrinth is proof of that.
Because wizards are an important resource in Lapdonia, you cannot enter the labyrinth unless you prove your skills.
“Right!”
“Yes, that’s right. For a barbarian, you have a lot of knowledge.”
After explaining clearly at eye level, the female wizard joined the conversation in a calm voice.
A satisfied smile appeared on his lips, which somehow seemed to know what kind of personality he had.
“Hello. My name is Arua Raven, Class 6 Mage. This is a professional courier I hired. His name… what was it?”
“This is Tarzine. Mr. Raven.”
Now I see that the two of them are in a group.
Anyway, it wasn’t too bad.
Basically, there is no feeling of looking down on people, but among wizards, this is a nobleman.
In the game, there were a lot of more gaps.
“May I ask for an introduction as well?”
“Hikuro is Murad. It will be a short trip, but I hope you take good care of me. Miss Raven.”
“How old is Mr. Murad?”
“It’s three years.”
Being a 3rd year explorer…….
Somehow, each piece of equipment was nice.
“I am Bjorn, the son of Yandel.”
After briefly stating my name, I asked directly.
“No matter how you look at it, there doesn’t seem to be any reason to be active on the first floor, so how did you come in the crack?”
Most of the explorers on the first floor are not equipped with proper equipment.
So I expected that I would have to go through hardships to clear the rift.
By the way, a 3rd year dwarf and a 6th grade wizard?
At this point, you can’t just like it, and there are many suspicious parts to call it a coincidence.
“I can’t give you the details, but I’ve heard that rifts open this cycle.”
“Neither do I.”
Is this really a ladder kick?
As if they had promised, Raven and the dwarf kept quiet about the method.
Of course, it didn’t mean much.
Because now I have a guess as to how it was inferred.
“Pnellin’s second daughter Einar.”
Soon after everyone’s voices were over, Raven took the lead in the conversation.
“The loot will be divided according to the number of people, excluding Mr. Tarzin. Instead, will everyone follow my instructions?”
“There is no difference. It is common sense to follow the wizard’s words in the labyrinth.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
The dwarf gave his consent first, and Raven’s eyes turned to the two of us.
The time to worry didn’t last long.
As long as there was a wizard in the team, there was nothing good about jumping out.
Because it was the wizards who first recognized the existence of ‘evil spirits’ and persuaded the royal family to declare them to be exterminated.
Shiva……
Clearing is no longer a problem.
“I agree.”
Let’s just go half way.
Previously, I admired him for being a barbarian and said he had a wide range of knowledge, but I never knew when that gaze would change to suspicion.
“I decline.”
huh?
People’s eyes gathered at Einar’s stubborn voice.
“I don’t know what’s so great about a wizard. I want Bjorn to lead us.”
No, I agreed, but why the hell are you doing that?
I want to keep my mouth shut right now, but if I do, it will look more suspicious.
The wizard asked cautiously.
“Bjorn… you mean this barbarian right?”
“That’s right. Bjorn is no ordinary barbarian!”
“Aren’t you an ordinary barbarian?”
“Bjorn is a wiser warrior than anyone else. He reads in the library for six hours every day.”
“Hmm, you’re definitely an unusual person.”
“It’s not unusual, it’s great! I’ve never seen a barbarian as smart as Bjorn!”
Shiva…….
Please stop it……
***
Everyone looked at me with strange eyes at Einar’s rave reviews, but it only ended up happening.
He seemed to think it was a barbarian hit.
At least not yet.
“But since it’s a majority vote, it can’t be helped. Hahaha!”
“What is the majority, and it can’t be helped!”
“Uh…”
Sensing the atmosphere to fight again, I calmed Einar down.
But Einar grinned and gave a disapproving expression.
“But! Aren’t you Bjorn more powerful than that wizard!”
Could it be that the previous words, ‘for a barbarian’, offended her?
I don’t know, but it was good to make an ‘swear’ in advance.
If it wasn’t for that, I might have been exposed to dimensional instability and that it was me who opened the rift.
“To have the respect of a wife is a blessing. I envy you, Barbarian! Hahaha!”
“Oh wife! I’m not like that!”
“Ha ha ha! You don’t have to be shy!”
“profit!
It’s not embarrassing!!” Anyway, thanks to the talkative Dwarf, Einar’s aggro was pulled elsewhere.
I was relieved and looked at Raven’s expression.
Contrary to my worries, she didn’t show any interest in me.
“It’s a barrier that you can’t get out of. Interesting. It seems like the dimension has been cut off, so how can we see the other side with our own eyes?” Should
I call it a wizard-like passion for learning?
Seeing him muttering to himself while writing in his notebook, he seems to be curious about the principle of this barrier that prevents him from leaving the map… …
I hope that interest will not come to me until the moment we break up.
“Why don’t you all stop and start? There’s a lot to investigate to get a sample.”
“Departure? We still only know each other’s names…”
The dwarf tilted his head at Raven’s words
.
You should know.
No matter how improvised a team is, it is basic to reveal the core essence and start.
However, Raven cut it off as an unnecessary act.
“Is there a reason to do that? All of the monsters from the Crimson Fortress are level 7 or lower.” Her
voice oozes absolute confidence.
The dwarf showed a slightly uncomfortable expression at this, but didn’t say anything.
Before she said another word.
“Ah. I didn’t say that. I’ll keep the spoils from the guardians separately. I have something to study separately.”
What kind of conscienceless bitch is there?
Ha, somehow, for a wizard, he’s fine.
‘Damn it.’
Sure enough,
the situation is about to go back like a dog again.
