Chapter 625 – 625. Unidentified Dungeon Exploration (2)
“First I go to the reception desk and talk. I’ll stop by the inn and get a room.”
“Huh.”
Eunhyeon and Erin, who rode Retona and quickly entered the territory of Tyrnis, began their individual actions.
Since Eunhyeon was planning to wait in Tyrnis Territory until the Artia Knights arrived, she went to the inn first and moved to get a good room.
The reason Erin was first sent to her adventurer’s guild was because it was widely known to the outside world that she was a gold-tier adventurer.
She decided that if she first went to the Adventurer’s Guild and informed them that she had come to support her visit and exploration of the unidentified dungeon near Tirnis, she would be able to obtain prior information about the unidentified dungeon more quickly and easily.
Alone, Erin immediately entered the adventurer’s guild building in Tyrnis.
I took a quick look inside the guild.
‘There are more than I thought.’
The number of adventurers entering and leaving the guild was not small, considering that they had heard that no one was assisting them in clearing the dungeon that had suddenly appeared.
It wasn’t a small number, it was so many that it was crowded.
It wasn’t as high as the adventurers’ guild in the Duchy of Armitas, where adventurers lined up in front of the reception desk and waited, but at least I heard enough people’s voices to make me think, ‘It’s noisy.’
‘Is it natural?’
It just means that there are few adventurers who will apply for clearing the dungeon, it doesn’t mean that the number of adventurers themselves is small.
Most of the adventurers living in this territory of Tyrnis were not earning a living by completing dungeon raids or subjugation of monsters.
Tyrnis is a territory with a large port.
As the territory is mainly operated with profits earned from maritime trade with other countries or ports, the most requested thing in this territory is escorting this large ship.
If nothing happens as long as you have to sail a long distance, there won’t be as much benefit as that, but in fact there are very few cases like that.
This is because it is not uncommon to encounter an unknown marine beast, and to encounter pirates while robbing all of the supplies and goods loaded on the ship.
Merchants sailing in large ships needed professionals who could protect them and their goods.
So, most of them hire adventurers as escorts by putting requests to escort them into the adventurer’s guild.
‘This is why no one volunteers to clear the dungeon.’
– A person is If you are given a choice, of course you will choose the one that is more familiar and more beneficial to you.
Erin remembered Eunhyun’s words.
Inwardly, escorting a large ship and attacking an unknown dungeon where the level of danger cannot be estimated.
Adventurers residing in Tyrnis will naturally choose the ship escort requests they have always done.
Since it was a long-term quest, it was possible to earn a huge reward as the risk allowance and the duration of the quest overlapped.
There was no reason to step into an unknown dungeon where the level of danger could not be assessed.
No matter how big the reward was, there was no merit worth risking their lives for, as their own bodies and equipment were their property.
‘… Well, it can’t be helped.’
Erin alone agreed.
Whatever choice you make, whatever happens is your responsibility.
It was like a common adage among adventurers.
There are adventurers who sacrifice themselves because their lives are precious, and there are also adventurers who do not know that their lives are precious, thinking that they will be fine under any circumstances.
Erin didn’t have the heart to blame the adventurers who didn’t apply for raiding the mysterious dungeon that appeared near the Tyrnis region.
It was the time when she was about to move her steps toward the reception desk after having finished looking around the inside of the adventurer’s guild.
“These days, the Duchy of Armitas is very rumored, right?”
“Oh, did you hear about that too?”
Erin paused.
It was because, within the noisy adventurer’s guild, the subject that an adventurer’s party was talking about came to Erin’s ears.
“…”
Erin pretended not to be related by turning her gaze to the other side, so she listened carefully to the adventurers’ conversation.
“This equipment was also obtained from that dukedom.”
“Oh oh.”
At the words of one adventurer proudly displaying her sword, another fellow adventurer looked at the sword with admiration.
“The level is really wrong. Are you saying this is a sword made by that race of dwarves?”
“That’s right.”
“Under… Should I move my real residence to the dukedom…”
The adventurer who saw the sword muttered with a look of sincere concern.
Recently, the quality of the equipment being exported from the Duchy of Armitas was at a very high level, so it was quite tempting.
The Duchy of Armitas is currently a very hot place among adventurers.
Quality equipment and potions can be obtained at a reasonable price, and as the equipment of these dwarves began to be manufactured, the quest achievement rate of adventurers with increased power by purchasing equipment increased noticeably, and many other adventurers also came to hear rumors. Trends.
There were also rumors that it was a good place for people to live, as well as security and liveliness in the streets.
“Arthur. I heard from a merchant who supplies and procures goods there, but they say that the population there is huge these days, so the house price is not cheap. If you want to move, you should have moved earlier.”
“Ha, Mr. I should have moved right away without worrying about it.”
“Hey. I think you’ll be able to do some adventurer activities there now. We are just destined to be on a boat for the rest of our lives.”
“Ah, this is right.”
The party members giggled and laughed at the regretful fellow adventurer while sympathizing with them.
“Ah, but it was really tempting! The current lord of that duchy is truly the most beautiful woman in the kingdom!”
“What does that have to do with you? Climb.”
“Aren’t you curious about his face?”
“I am not interested in married aristocratic women. Do you want to cut your throat?”
“Ah, the rumors about the man who married that lord are just trash!”
When the same party members did not respond properly to his words, the adventurer shouted in a huff.
“… Uh?”
The other adventurers were not paying attention to the party’s conversation, buried in the noise of the noisy guild building, but Erin heard the adventurer’s party’s conversation correctly.
When she heard the remark directly insulting Eun-hyeon, who was none other than her own husband, her Erin’s body stiffened.
“No. Does it make sense that she has three or four wives? Do people like that really exist in the first place?”
If you belong to the Kingdom of Pernias, it is a gossip that you would have heard at least once about the daughter of a ducal family, who was no different from the second-in-command of the kingdom, married an unknown commoner.
Although Eunhyun and Illyana and Eleanor held an official wedding ceremony, the wedding ceremony ended with a modest ceremony in which only acquaintances were invited, not befitting the family and status.
So there were many cases in which nobles who did not have a deep relationship with the duke’s family, commoners who had no connection, and adventurers did not even know the existence of Eunhyeon.
In addition, the story that I heard is that he had a promiscuous relationship with Eleanor as a witch’s lover before her marriage, and even after her marriage, he continued to make women and now there are four of them.
The more you listen, the more bizarre the rumors about Eunhyeon become.
“And the human that is her husband. I heard that she does not work and plays and eats with the money her wives earned in the manor?”
Perhaps it was because he was not active externally in the Duchy of Armitas, and even bizarre and strange misunderstandings were being spread around.
Relying on the witch Illiana’s ability, she shut herself up in her house.
She lives on the pocket money of Eleanor, who became the lord of the duchy.
Like being taken care of by Lily, the maid who assists Eleanor.
Erin, a gold-tier adventurer, is feeding the unemployed while working as an adventurer.
Eun-hyeon, who is only heard in rumors, is a model of the pillar West that is close to perfect trash.
“If you’re that kind of person, wouldn’t I be better?”
“… Under.”
Erin was so full of energy that she couldn’t even laugh.
The only sound that came out of her mouth was a dejected sigh.
Lately, there are hardly any times when she is stuck at home, such as seeking cooperation from dwarves and elves, watching Riod and Cha Han-seong’s training, or going to the north to make Siete’s sword. It just spread strangely.
If it was a rumor that circulated within the Duchy of Armitas, they could have done something about it, but this is a territory other than the Duchy.
It is almost impossible to prevent the bizarre rumors from spreading even further.
In the end, Erin could not stand it and moved.
Originally, the steps that were supposed to go to the adventurer’s guild’s reception desk were heading towards the adventurers’ party that was laughing before they knew it.
‘I can’t listen anymore.’
The adventurous party, made up entirely of sturdy young men, was in the midst of giggling and exchanging vulgar jokes about gossip, not noticing the presence of Erin, who was getting closer and closer.
Erin couldn’t take that vulgar joke anymore.
“Ok?”
Eventually, Erin stood in front of the male adventurer party, and the adventurers who were chatting with her giggled at her all at once.
“What. You?”
“What are you guys?”
“Hmm?”
Her male adventurers reacted in bewilderment at Erin’s sudden, fierce glare.
“Who are you to be undermining our Hyun-yi with such vulgar conversations!”
“What?”
The male adventurers were quite taken aback.
It was because the atmosphere inside the noisy adventurer’s guild had subsided, and the attention of the adventurers and guild staff who had stopped talking was instantly focused on them.
And that silence soon turned into whispers.
“What. Those?”
“I don’t know. It seems that woman is very angry with those male adventurers?”
“But don’t you think you saw that woman somewhere?”
The male adventurer party members who became the target of gossip glared at Erinn, the cause of their attention.
“Hey! What are you! What are you talking about!”
“No… Wait for a sec.”
An angry male adventurer was caught and held back by another fellow adventurer.
“Why!”
“I think I saw this woman somewhere…”
Her fellow adventurer stared blankly at Erin, hesitating with a vague look on her face that seemed to remind her of her memory, and his face grew urgent as he recalled her memory.
“Hey! This woman, that woman! That woman called that mad dog!”
The reason why Erin got the dishonorable nickname of ‘Crazy Dog’ in the Duchy of Armitas was very simple.
The reason is that he started scolding the adventurers who were laughing at Eun-hyeon with such strange rumors.
The notoriety of roaring like a ferocious dog and turning the other person’s face into blood when he got angry once became an opportunity for the adventurers living in the duchy to stop mentioning Eunhyun’s name.
Sure enough, Erin blew the first bread in a fiery rage.
“You insulted my husband first! You bastard!”
I put all my strength into my legs and kicked the male adventurer who had slandered Eunhyeon the most.
The place where Erin’s kick, loaded with the terrifying power of leg strength, hit directly between the male adventurer’s thighs, his romance.
“Cheuk!?”
The male adventurer who had been kicked by Erinn’s leg closed his legs at the terrifying pain felt in his lower body.
