Resurrected Immortal 627

Chapter 627 – 627. Unidentified Dungeon Exploration (4)

“Are you ready?”

“Yes. Captain. All done.”

To Leod’s calm question, Cain answered with a confident nod.
A total of 200 knights in the size of two squadrons, including Riod, were ready to go out, leaving emergency troops stationed in case of emergency.

“… Right.”

It looked as if he was nodding his head in silence as usual, but Cain saw through to the fact that Riod’s planting was quite uncomfortable.
As soon as the Artia Knights were founded and he became an adult, inspired by Riod’s chivalrous appearance, it had already been more than 10 years since he joined the Knights.
Only a few other than his family and Eun-hyeon and other team members who have spent his youth in the highs and lows of life and death with him can recognize the change in the sullen Liode’s face.
Cain was one of those few.
Since Cain had been aiding Leo for a long time as he rose to the position of vice-captain, he noticed a subtle change in Riod’s expression.
And even without asking, he already guessed why Leo was so uncomfortable.

“… The Duchess will be fine.”

“…”

About two weeks have passed since Theresia gave birth to her youngest daughter.
Now that she is in the midst of restoring her weakened body after giving birth, she must be away on an expedition to dissatisfy her situation.
Although Eleanor and Eunhyeon gave blessings from high-ranking officials and good restorative medicines and food for postpartum care, she said that her recovery was progressing quickly, but even so, it was regrettable that she did not follow Eunhyeon’s advice to recuperate for about a month.
It’s not that he didn’t understand Rio de’s worries between the responsibilities of being the leader of the knights of the kingdom and being the head of a family and her husband.

“Let’s go.”

Soon after, Riod came out of the director’s room with a face that had captured his heart.
His expression, which pushed his uncomfortable planting deep into his heart, showed the appearance of a dignified and reliable hero worthy of the title of the best knight who protects the kingdom.
The destination of the Artia Knights is the Tyrnis Territory, where there is an unidentified and unidentified dungeon.
Riod remembered Eunhyun’s words.

– I’m going to go ahead and do some research.

◆ ◆ ◆

“If… Are you two planning to clear the dungeon today?”

At the words of the guild leader who carefully asked with a questionable gaze, Eunhyeon nodded his head slightly.

“That… I think it might be too risky.”

It’s too reckless.
However, pointing it out was not an easy task, so the guild leader’s persuasive attitude was very cautious.
It was because the guild leader, who had dealt with many adventurers, knew that most adventurers in the golden ranks were very proud.
The adventurers who crossed numerous lines of fire, accumulated experience and skills, and won the rank of gold, were all proud of their experience and skills, and hated being ignored.
There were cases like Erin, who showed a polite attitude by admitting to or being considerate of the adventurer guild, but most of the adventurers of the gold ranks had a very self-righteous and arbitrary personality.
So, for the adventurer’s guild, who didn’t know much about Eunhyeon and Erin, they had to be very careful in dealing with them.

“I’m not questioning your abilities. But… One adventurer party made up of gold rank adventurers has already been lost.”

Even that party number is six in total.
Even a party like that must have gone missing, so how can we safely entrust the task of raiding a dungeon alone?

“Thank you for your concern.”

Eunhyun answered with a smile.
She expressed her gratitude that the guild leader was not ignoring her and Erin, but was genuinely concerned.

“But I’m not going to go through the raid completely alone.”

“Then… ?”

“We plan to carry out the raid with the Artia Knights, who will soon enter the Tyrnis Territory.”

“Yes? But why…”

“The position that my wife and I are applying for is scouting. So, I want to research the road to the dungeon and the entrance to the interior in advance.”

“Ah, I see.”

The guild leader nodded his head, realizing that his thoughts were short-lived.
Then, he looked at Eunhyeon and Erin with curious eyes.
Originally, the job of an adventurer is a job that aims for the dream of making a fortune while taking risks as one’s body and equipment are all assets.
That’s why I don’t do any actions or thoughts to collaborate with someone or share profits.
If you are a gold rank adventurer, you will form a party with other adventurers and share the profits, but it is more like a contract because it is necessary to increase efficiency and survivability.
Basically, adventurers do not cooperate with the kingdom’s knights or magicians, who are no different from public institutions.
Especially in the case of dungeon raids, when you find gold and silver treasures hidden in the dungeon, it is very annoying to divide them up.
However, Eun-hyeon confidently revealed her collaboration with the Knights of Artia, as if she hadn’t even thought about this from the beginning.

‘He’s a mysterious man.’

Unlike other adventurers, I thought that I was not greedy for success, success, or wealth, and I was not sure what I was moving for.
Maybe that’s why, for some reason, I believed in myself.

‘If this person… Wouldn’t it be okay?’

Rumor has it that Eun-hyeon is the man who raised a woman named Erin to achieve the rank of gold within two years of starting an adventurer.
That skill must also be the rumored ideal of Erin.
The guild leader decided to trust Eunhyeon.

“Please wait a moment. I will bring it right away.”

She ordered her subordinate to bring all the information about the unidentified dungeon requested by Eun-hyeon.

◆ ◆ ◆

After organizing all the information, Eunhyeon and Erin immediately left the Territory of Tyrnis.
The location of the dungeon was already recorded in detail in the adventurer’s guild report, so it didn’t take long to find the dungeon.

“Hyunah. Did you see it over there?”

Erin, who was aboard Retona, reached out through her window and pointed at the dungeon entrance that was getting closer.

“Yes.”

Eunhyun nodded his head.
The mysterious distortion seen near the entrance of the cave means that the inside of the cave and this place are connected to another dimension.
That is, the entrance to the dungeon.

“It doesn’t seem like anything…”

Erin looked around her to see if there were any other oddities.
It didn’t seem like a dangerous dungeon enough to cut off news from more than 30 adventurers.
It wasn’t that I hadn’t encountered demon beasts while coming here, but all the goblins and kobolds and other evil beasts rushed at Retona without fear and faced a miserable end on the contrary.
And when they reached the entrance of the dungeon, Eunhyeon and Erin got off the Retona and reverse summoned them in the inventory.

“Let’s go in. But just in case, keep your guard up.”

“Huh.”

No matter how dangerous it might be, Erin squeezed the Levantein around her waist at Eunhyun’s words of warning again.
Erin’s eyes tightened her vigilance, sharpening in an instant, so that she could pull out the Levantine at any moment if anything happened.
The two of them went into the dungeon, taking a combat readiness.
It was a dark vision with no light coming in, but the darkness did not limit the two of them.
Eunhyeon used her senses to recognize the boundaries of all directions, and Erin grasped the flow of the dungeon with her outstanding five senses.

Kyaaek!

With a sharp scream, something protruded from Eunhyun’s left side.
However, Eunhyeon was not shaken at all and swung the red moon out of the two swords she had already summoned and held.
The blade of the red moon was precisely pierced into the head of the demonic beast who had been ambush, not knowing that the location where it was already hiding was identified.

Paperweight!

A belatedly electric current bounced upward, illuminating the inside of the dungeon brightly for a moment, then darkness came over again.
Recognizing the electric current bouncing from the horns embedded in the Witchbeast’s head and forehead, Erin also figured out the Witchbeast’s true identity.

“… Are you a Gremlin?”

A demonic beast with the characteristic of emitting electric current from the horns on the forehead of its head.
It is a demonic beast that has the risk of turning the other party into black charcoal at that moment if it is directly hit by a fairly high output current.
For a low-level monster, he had a high amount of magical power, but except for the characteristic of emitting electric current, his dwarf body and insignificant physical abilities were similar to that of the lowest-level monster, a goblin.
Eunhyeon reverse summoned the red moon and blue moon he was holding in both hands and summoned a dagger.
He dismembered the gremlin’s corpse with his head cut off.
Even in a dark field of vision, his unhesitating hand movements accurately separated the magic stone hidden inside from the gremlin’s corpse.
Then, holding the dagger in reverse, forcefully insert the magic stone into the circle dug at the end of the handle and fix it.

[Single digit magic]
[Light]

After concocting a formula, the magic stone gradually emitted its own light, revealing the inside of the dungeon.
It wasn’t bright enough to see the surroundings clearly, but Eun-hyeon deliberately adjusted the brightness.
In such a dark place, light is a tool that brightens one’s vision, but on the contrary, it also carries the risk of informing demons of one’s location.
Eun-hyeon held out the dagger with the magic stone fixed on it and walked forward, revealing a little bit of the inside of the dark dungeon.
As they explored the inside of the dungeon, Eunhyeon and Erin went deeper and deeper.
Erin’s questions piled up as she went inside.

“… Hyuna. Could it be that we came to the wrong place?”

The difficulty of the dungeon itself was so easy that it was a reasonable doubt.
There are no pitfalls to speak of, and the level of monsters that appear is at a level that can be attacked not only by silver ranks, but also by talented adventurers of the same rank.
So Erin was suspicious.
I thought maybe I had come to the wrong dungeon.

“No. This is the dungeon marked on the map provided by the Adventurers Guild.”

If there was another dungeon nearby, the location of that dungeon would have been marked as well.
There is only one dungeon in this area.

“… Doesn’t this just look like a normal dungeon?”

She was convinced that there was no way the silver rank adventurers could have been in a dungeon of this level.
Even more so if you are an adventurer in the golden ranks.
In the end, after arranging all the beasts and reaching the deepest part of the dungeon, Eun-hyeon took the core of the dungeon and came out.

“… What’s this?”

For some reason, Erin felt dejected.
At the same time, the questions in her head are not resolved, and she is frustrated.
Where the hell did the over 30 adventurers disappear to?

“Hyunah. What do we do?”

The existence of the unconfirmed dungeon that the Artia Knights were scheduled to clear had already been captured by Eun-hyeon and herself.
If this continues, about 200 knights, including Riod, will be in vain.
Hearing Erin’s question, Eunhyeon organized her thoughts and opened her mouth.

“… This dungeon wasn’t the problem.”

The cause of the disappearance of 30 adventurers was not the dungeon.

“There is something around here.”

Even among adventurers, there is something so bizarre and mysterious that even the most powerful adventurers in the gold ranks can be erased without a word.

“We need to find it.”
