Chapter 310 – Side Story Part 2. Naked Newbie Life (22)
“Are you sure about this place?”
“That’s right. Here.”
Perhaps because of the memory of having died here once, I was scared the whole time I entered the forest.
However, because their level had already risen too high, the goblins in the forest were so weak that they could all be reduced to dust with a single cough.
Thanks to this, the progress went smoothly, and I was able to easily discover ancient ruins that were hidden deep in my own way.
Before you know it, the jet-black gate is shaking before your eyes.
I took a quick look at Li Yan’s face her, and it was surprisingly calm.
Is it because we haven’t entered yet?
“Is there anything to see in front of here? Let’s go in right away.”
“Wait!”
“Yes?”
“Hmm… Haven’t everyone here only heard rumors about what it’s like inside?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
“Then there might be some kind of chaos from the beginning…”
“Oh, then should I go in first?”
“No! That’s not what it sounds like!”
After giving notice several times, Jefferson quietly brought up the story.
“Let’s take a step forward and go in. I’ve put a lot of thought into coming this far. In other words, I’ve risked my life here, but I want to take a step back before going in. If I’m unlucky, I might die like this.”
“That’s a good idea. I was having a hard time holding it in too.”
I quickly turned my head and looked at Joan.
‘You mean this is normal here?’
I gave her this look, but she just looked at me calmly.
“Well, whatever you want.”
“Hmm. Then I’ll stay here for a while…”
“Then I’ll go to the other side. What are you doing? Don’t follow me.”
The two people took their servants and dispersed to both sides of the entrance to the ancient ruins.
So, the three of us left.
Li Yan was glaring at me with her lips sticking out.
“Why are you there again?”
“No.”
“What is it? Tell me clearly.”
“That’s… That’s right. Since a while ago, the team leader kept asking only Joan.”
What else can I say?
Was it just petty jealousy?
“I hope you like it. You can take such a cute child around without spending a penny.”
“Your ears are so cute…”
Whenever Lien gets jealous, she always gets shy when she told she’s cute.
As she was looking at him with a pitiful expression, Joan came closer to me and whispered.
“Would you like to avoid my seat?”
“No?”
“Is it okay? This place is so intertwined like a labyrinth that I might not be able to do it later even if I want to.”
“It’s okay. You don’t have to worry about that.”
누굴 발정 난 개새끼로 아나.
No matter how strong my sexual desire is, I am a person who knows how to distinguish between time and place.
Even so, I’ve heard from many people, including Dick, that this dungeon is dangerous, so I can’t just leisurely fuck women in front of it.
Besides, I’ve done it at least twice every night since I got here, so it would be a good time to take a day off.
“Haha. You’ve waited a long time. That’s because I have a very strong sexual desire.”
After a while, Jefferson appeared with a bright expression on his face.
On the other hand, the attendant who followed him was fully clothed, but looked very distressed with his messy hair and gaunt face.
‘Oh, what can I do?’
In times like this, it’s best to just pretend not to notice.
It seems like the slavery system is being run proudly, but I have no intention of becoming the hero of a third-rate novel.
After a while, a man named Grol also appeared.
It looks like he was using his strength to sway his lower body.
On the other hand, this woman is maintaining her poker face without any change in expression.
“Then let’s enter.”
“Hmm. As a tank, I will go here first. Please take care of my child.”
It seems that both of them are planning to drag their servants into the dungeon.
Since it is a dungeon that can be called a labyrinth, there is a high probability that you will not be able to get out within a day, and then you will have to stay up all night, so we are taking you there for that time.
It was a story I had already heard, but I was bothered by the two slaves for no reason.
‘It must be difficult to protect those people in such a difficult situation…’
One is a slave from Class E, and the other is from Class D.
As such, he has some physical abilities, but he is not wearing decent equipment, and above all, this is not a place where someone of that grade or level can come.
I had an ominous feeling for no reason.
* * *
The interior of an ancient ruin that is so worn out that it looks like it could collapse at any moment.
From the entrance, about six large hobgoblins rushed at the same time from all directions.
“Oh my!”
However, Jefferson lured them to one side with an elongated inverted triangle-shaped shield, and was able to easily neutralize them with Lien’s spear blade and Grol’s arrow.
“Anis. Please retrieve the loot.”
“Yes, master.”
As I progressed through the dungeon, I learned the name of a slave I didn’t really want to know,
“Stay further away when fighting because it’s dangerous!”
“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.”
Several times, I unintentionally saved their lives.
And the more I did that, the more strangely my heart became heavier.
“Lee Yan. Where are you looking?”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
“I know you want to find traces of your father, but if you turn a blind eye like that, you too will die.”
“Yes. I know.”
Every time Lien saw a room between the long passages, she was distracted by something, and Joan did not participate properly in the battle, as if she was just a spectator.
However, I was not in a position to say anything to Joan.
Just like her, I was just observing her from behind.
Of course, there are excuses.
I had a knack for accurately assessing people’s skills and then stopping further progress once they reached a certain level.
Even so, the dungeon environment was slowly changing and the types of monsters that appeared were becoming more diverse.
Goblins began to appear less frequently, and skeletons of various sizes and living armor made entirely of bones began to appear.
-Cookung!
They sometimes crashed into the wall, raising up a huge amount of dust, which not only ruined visibility but made it difficult to breathe.
Even so, inside the dark ruins.
The only light that allowed us to see was the occasionally lit candles, so progress had to become increasingly slower as we moved forward, trying to deal with them while preventing dust from rising as much as possible.
“Let’s take a short break here. Let’s replenish our lost blood and replenish moisture.”
The end of an endlessly long hallway.
We sat down in front of the huge door that appeared before our eyes.
As the bloody battles were repeated non-stop, the time to sit comfortably and have a conversation was very precious to everyone.
If we just kept going without saying anything, it wouldn’t be strange at all if someone went crazy.
“It’s so reassuring to have a stranger in the party.”
“I agree. If it weren’t for you, we would have been wiped out already.”
“…”
There have already been several crises at this party.
I saved Grol and the slaves who were almost hit by the rusty blade of the Living Weapon that suddenly came out from behind several times, and I also twisted the trajectory of the poison arrow fired by the skeleton archer flying from the front several times.
Of course, I used space manipulation, and because of that, everyone here must have seen part of my ability.
Especially that woman.
Joan Crawford.
She also showed off the shadow magic she had hidden so far a few times, but she couldn’t deceive my eyes.
That bitch is definitely hiding it like me.
The real power you have.
Of course, he would have noticed that I was hiding my true abilities.
‘Anyway, what on earth is she doing?’
* * *
“Casiel. Confirmation has been completed. It is clear that we entered the interior, and it appears that approximately three hours have passed.”
“Hmm… I guess we’ll already be at the door in that amount of time.”
“The door?”
“You don’t have to know. Because there is such a thing.”
“But is it really okay for us to have it alone? The other person is that stranger…”
Cassiel, the A-rank wizard of the Depay Clan.
He arrived in front of the ancient ruins of the Goblin Forest, leading Morton and other clan members.
“You idiots. Do you think I will tell you every detail of the operation? Do you know where the information will leak?”
“…”
“I already took care of everything. Ah, one of them is coming over there.”
“…!?”
Everyone’s eyes turned in the opposite direction of the ruins.
Standing there were people whose faces Morton remembered seeing on her many visits to the adventurer’s guild.
“Well, that guy…”
And above all, the man standing in the middle.
There is no doubt.
I shaved my beard and my impression changed drastically, but it’s clear.
The man who had been seen next to a stranger several times recently approached Cassiel and greeted him in a friendly manner.
“It’s been a while, Cassiel.”
However, Cassiel’s reaction was actually a bit strange.
At first, she smiled brightly as if she was welcoming, but as time passed, her face gradually became pale.
Like someone who has seen a ghost.
“S-No way… You…”
“That’s right. It’s me. It’s the Dick you knew.”
“Well, that’s ridiculous…”
“It doesn’t make sense.”
“…!?”
The man named Dick grinned, and Cassiel trembled and muttered.
“Are you… A stranger…?”
“Shh. I’m sorry, but that’s a secret. What if you reveal it like that?”
Tuk-
The head that was attached to Cassiel’s body had suddenly fallen to the floor and was rolling around.
A fountain of very bright red blood was produced.
“Then I have no choice but to kill you.”
“Ugh… Ugh!”
Morton was shocked.
The man’s gaze, which had been smiling as he looked at Cassiel’s head rolling on the floor, was now looking directly at her.
