Chapter 353 – Loot Knows the Answer (2)
While moving along the river, we dealt with countless undead struggling in the water.
“Tsk.”
Every time I killed someone, everyone reacted poorly.
It was not just a corpse, but a vengeful spirit that died of injustice remained in the body and died, running rampant as if angry.
“If only they gave me something to eat instead of magic stones.”
For me, it was disappointing because food was more urgent.
Even if you get a magic stone as big as a heart, it doesn’t have much merit unless you can instantly change the magic stone into bread.
“Count. Let’s check the other floors again… “
“Where? Bestiality hell?”
“Oh, no.”
Laura immediately shook his hand and withdrew his offer.
“If you go downstairs like you said, you will definitely find something. Not the beastly bugs and bestiality, but something that humans can eat normally.”
It’s expected, but if something comes up, you can just farm food there.
But that is not the correct answer.
The answer is right here, the 40th floor area of hard mode.
Even if food can be obtained here, and even if it is only a small amount, this is the most appropriate source of food for us today.
“Laura. What came out on the 30th floor of Hardware?”
“The city.”
“Yes. A city like the old County of Fermaten appeared. There were undead there, and there were undead here too. But…”
Powok.
“Don’t you think it’s becoming more and more alive?”
“…”
I hit the angry zombie that jumped out of the water with the Doombreaker.
“Is it my imagination that it feels like there are more and more living things, rather than just undead?”
“Count. You don’t think they are alive, do you?”
“No way. They are all dead. They are the worst of evils, pretending to be alive when they are dead.”
There is no one alive in the infinite labyrinth.
“The ones here are all old bastards. I don’t know when they died, but the ones throwing away gold coins upstairs must have died hundreds of years ago.”
This is especially true in hard mode.
This is hell, and hell is where the most evil of the dead falls.
“And now, here too.”
“Ah, that is…!”
At the end of the river, at the end of the wide meadow, something appeared.
“Is that… A castle wall?”
“It’s one of two things. Either there’s something more behind there, or if you open the castle door and go inside, you go straight down to the next floor. One thing that’s certain is that this river is flowing from under that castle wall.”
Water flows from top to bottom.
But now this river flows from bottom to top, that is, from low to high.
Based on the basement, it is a stream that flows from the 50th floor of the labyrinth hard to the 41st floor of the hard.
If you continue down this stream, you will come across a boss room, and if you conquer the boss room, a portal will appear that takes you down to the 51st hard floor.
Or, through that dirty and disgusting bestial hell, there will be a way to go down to the 61st floor.
Probably, definitely.
“Shall we go reconnaissance?”
“No. Let’s all enter together. There won’t be any undead on the castle walls laying siege, and if they want to fight…”
Kwii Iikㅡㅡㅡ
“They will open the door and come out directly.”
The old hinges sound loudly and the gate opens left and right.
Inside, the undead came out in droves, making the sound of teeth grinding.
Ahhhhh!!
They ran towards us, screaming.
My heart sank for a moment at the speed of the K-zombie-like appearance running on the ground, something that has only recently been seen in foreign movies.
“It’s faster than I thought. Mother?”
“It’s already ready.”
Zenith stood next to me and pointed his staff forward.
It is a staff made by a craftsman from the former royal capital. The staff is as long as her height and is a magic staff made entirely of magic stones.
In a word, a hell of a lot of money.
“Can’t it be explosion magic?”
“Don’t blow it up to the castle gate.”
“Okay then.”
Zenith aimed the tip of her staff at the running zombies and lightly generated mana.
“Explosion.”
Kwaaaaah!!!!
A red flash covered the world, wiping out the zombie hordes in one blow.
Zenith’s magic, which boasts firepower beyond imagination, is literally ‘killing with one blow’.
“As expected, you are amazing, Mother.”
The force was so strong that I had to support her from behind to suppress her.
As a bonus, it even wipes out all the zombies that were running out of the castle gate, even when we couldn’t even hear them.
“See how he naturally holds my shoulders from behind?”
“Did you not like it?”
“No. I was able to show off this firepower because I trusted you to catch me from behind. Thank you.”
Because I supported her from behind, she was able to use incredibly high-power magic.
If it weren’t for me or someone else supporting me, I wouldn’t have been able to pack the firepower so clearly.
Pusssss.
The place where the magic bombardment passed.
It was a bombardment containing flames, so the residual fire crackled, and the zombie corpses that had turned into ashes were trembling beneath them.
“Go inside.”
I walked up to the gate, trampling on corpses, and crossed the gate with Doombreaker raised so I could swing it at any time.
“…Hmm.”
Fortunately, there was no one inside.
There were no more zombies on this floor, as it seemed like all the corpses were burned to death on the way out.
All that remains is a magic circle that seems to pass beyond the castle gate to the next floor.
“It’s strange. It doesn’t feel like stairs like other places.”
“It may not be stairs, but a divided area.”
“Is the place full of fog over there the 42nd floor?”
“Maybe so. Oh, wait. Before moving on to another floor, I want you to check here first.”
I pointed left and right to the knights who entered the castle gate.
“Lord Bernhard. If it’s a castle gate like this, where is the storehouse where food is stored?”
“…If there is space under the castle wall, use it as a food storage room, or prepare a separate food storage room.”
“Then, what kind of place is that warehouse over there?”
I pointed to the inside of the gate where we were standing, where there were several warehouses.
“I’m just saying this just in case, isn’t there something over there? Huh?”
“…No way.”
“I’m going to check that rumor now. Let’s go.”
As soon as I took the lead, the drivers headed to the warehouse with me.
“Open.”
Kwa-eu-ang!
He suddenly swings the Doombreaker at the tightly closed iron door, taking down any zombies that might have been waiting behind the door.
“…Nothing?”
Fortunately, there were no zombies.
The dented iron door broke with a crashing sound, and the inside was cleaner than expected.
“There doesn’t seem to be any sign of a zombie invasion at all?”
“…So, that means it’s clean?”
I pointed to the items piled up inside the warehouse.
“No matter how you look at it, isn’t this Milpodae?”
“…Oh, no way.”
“I can’t believe I’m catching someone. Hehe.”
Buuuk.
I violently tore the old sack with my hands.
Soon, white powder started flowing out from inside, and I lightly dabbed the powder with the tip of my gauntlet.
“Count. You really don’t want to taste it, do you?”
“Are you going to taste it?”
“Count…! To that extent…!”
What is it?
I don’t know why the knights look at me with such moved eyes.
‘I’m the safest one.’
I think they are misunderstanding something.
Something dangerous? Of course I know.
It is not clear whether this is food or a drug, and even if it is food, it can cause serious problems to the body as it comes from inside the infinite labyrinth.
Because I thought it was simple and it could have gone bad.
But.
‘There is a myth stone in my body.’
How could something like grain powder from the Infinite Labyrinth touch this body that is protected by a myth stone?
People other than me who don’t have myth stones may not know this, but it’s not a problem at all for me.
“It’s regular flour. You’ll know if you try the dough.”
“…Jijang, is there nothing?”
“It doesn’t seem to contain any poison. Everything else… Looks the same.”
Buuuk, drum, buuuk.
Every time the bag is torn open, flour spills out onto the floor.
Although it was a bit rough, the color was as white as snow, and gradually, a look of ‘maybe’ began to cross the knights’ eyes.
“Is there anyone who knows much about flour? They say they have done farming in the past, or they were food managers.”
“I know something, Count.”
Jur Dias stepped forward, raising his hand.
“When I was young, I also carried flour.”
“…You must have had a hard time.”
“It’s okay. If that experience can help you now.”
What is it?
Is it an angel?
Should I at least do anal sucking later?
“Okay. Then let me ask you. Do you think this flour has been left in this warehouse for at least ‘a few years’?”
“…”
“What is the possibility that this flour is stored in this stuffy place where the outside inflow is blocked and there is no air flow?”
“That.”
Jur Dias lightly touched the flour scattered on the floor with his hands and raised his finger towards me with a confident look on his face.
Three.
“Three years?”
“…3 months.”
Roaring, roaring.
The knights whisper about Jurdias’ words.
Most of them are questioning the fact that the flour is only about 3 months old and are scanning the flour with their eyes in disbelief.
“Then another question. If I bake bread with flour that is three months old, is that bread still edible?”
“Count, perhaps…?”
“Okay.”
I lightly tapped the flour bag with my hand.
“Infinite labyrinth. Let’s see if there’s infinite food. Let’s go out to the first floor just once and then come back in.”
After.
The warehouse that came back.
There were no warehouses whose doors I had broken down, and the warehouses were intact.
With flour that is three months old.
“This is farming.”
