Chapter 108 – Mindset (1)
15. Mindset (1)
‘He’s alive.’
I think about it every time I come back, but I can’t remember how I came back. After struggling to the point of death, I barely came back, passed out, and when I opened my eyes, it was an inn. I think he gave Kayana Shay some mumbled instructions before passing out…
‘How are you? I just want you to come back.’
Wouldn’t it be great if it came back safely? I turned around and looked around, but there was no one there.
“Where did everyone go?”
I forcibly moved my body and stood up. In particular, the bandages were so tightly wrapped around his neck and shoulders that he thought he was wearing a cast.
“I went to procure food. I’ll be back soon, but I’m leaving a note in case you’re worried.”
There was a note on the table with Kaya’s nice handwriting on it.
‘Kaya, you must be in a lot of pain too.’
Another note was hidden under the note that she thought was one in her car, which had a different concern than the one she said.
“My sister told Ar. You can’t be with our warriors. So I decided to go and take it home myself. The captain said that it didn’t matter if we stayed together for a while, apart from the issue of recruiting the warriors, but my sister and I didn’t. So don’t be too surprised that Ar is not there.”
“Mmm.”
It was a note from Shay.
“Ar was screaming, crying, and losing his mind. She said she was wrong, she said she wouldn’t do it again…”
It was bittersweet. Obviously, Ar’s deal potential was great. In human form, there was a wide area attack that we didn’t have, and the critical hit was better than expected. In the wolf form, he showed off his tremendous physical strength, and the kangdil itself was no joke. Even the level was 3, and the equipment level was only 2/1 level.
But the demerit swallowed the merit. At least if I didn’t have blood phobia, if I could control the ‘blood rage’ state on my own or I could control it, the story might have been different… It wasn’t enough to recruit instead of a class like Healing Nun, Bard, or Treasure Hunter.
If the merit was 10, the demerit was 10 or more. What do you do when you annihilate an enemy? My allies were about to be annihilated too.
To allies.
“I finally agreed when the captain told me that we could be friends even if we weren’t in the same corps of warriors. In fact, I’m regretting it now. Because of my curiosity, the corps of warriors was almost destroyed.”
It’s not Shay’s fault. What was wrong with treating her as a person without prejudice? Of course, the process of bringing her to the inn was wrong.
“No matter what this decision turns out to be in the future, I believe in you, Captain. Don’t beat yourself up any more, just focus on recovering quickly! Oh, I’m fine, so don’t worry. It’s okay, though!”
“Shay…”
I’m sorry
I accidentally stole her nose.
He was so kind, trustworthy, and thankful. Aren’t you going through hardships because you were wrongly caught by a guy like me? It wasn’t that he was less injured than me, and Shay tanked more than 80% of the monsters’ attacks, and he was attacked twice by Ar.
“Ha…”
My head was dizzy.
It would still be a signal for the body to take a break, but more than that, things about Ar and the fourth hero made my head complicated.
‘I’ve considered every possibility, but I can never take Ar to the dungeon. It’s a battle between managing mentality and how quickly you can beat elite monsters and boss monsters with damage, but the warriors will kill you before you do that.’
If you enter the 2nd area with a combination right now? I was confident that it would explode before entering 2-5.
‘It was like asking Ar for hope, but I can’t help it. It’s right to do this right now.’
Still, I didn’t really let go of the ties through Shay. The expression is a little strange, but I took it once and ate it, so I can’t throw it away.
If Ar’s existing phobia gets worse because of this internship, and if he can’t go through with the request, his livelihood will be in jeopardy… They were also willing to give some financial help. Even now, Shay is probably holding around 30 gold coins. With 30 gold coins, it was enough money to last for a month.
“Lesson… Fuck, let’s think of it as a lesson fee.”
The difficulty goes crazy because of the fact that it is already the highest difficulty level, so even if you throw a gambler, wouldn’t it be better to throw it with at least a proven talent and a proven combination? I wanted to bluff with at least Ali even if I conceded 100 times. Bluffing was not allowed with cards such as Bullfighter or Secret Royal Guard.
‘Then there are two left, no three.’
The treasure hunter, who had been included in the list of candidates, was also boldly left out. The treasure hunter’s trap removal, secret room exploration, and pinpoint attacks would be useful, but I felt this desperately in this dungeon.
The fighting power is desperately needed.
It’s lacking in AoE, but if you have good sustain, you can last for a turn or two and hit it as hard as you can several times. And the important thing is that in a dungeon there are at most 4 of them. This dungeon was an extremely exceptional case. It’s not like we don’t have wide area skills at all, and if we have to, we can equip one or two more wide area skills by spending a lot of money and changing skills. If that doesn’t work, install more CC’s.
But it wasn’t physical strength and mentality.
In terms of stamina, Kaya and Shay have their own means of recovery, so it’s better, but mentality rises slightly when a critical hit hits, but there was no answer.
Healing nuns of faith and security.
A bard of leisure and variety.
And the yet unknown enhanced human.
As for the usefulness of the healing nuns, there was no need to repeat them, as I had already experienced them once. It would be difficult to find a healing nun with eternal rest unless it was a cestia-level healing nun, but healing nuns were basically a class that was responsible for the stability of the warriors with wide-area heals and high single heals. However, if there were no good healing nuns, the bard might have thought seriously.
‘Basically, mentality recovery is passively attached to almost all skills, and it varies depending on the skill you have, but it’s 4 times 1 ball (pure bard), 3 times 1 ball bard (hybrid bard), 2 times 2 ball ball (offensive type) Although it is divided into bards) or not… A class that has the advantage of being flexible in battle.’
The bard’s buff skills are often referred to as the Melody Series, and the combination of skills such as the Melody of Destruction, the Melody of Attack, the Melody of Protection, and the Melody of Healing had such a huge influence that the way the party was managed changed.
However, there was a downside, and among the 13 existing classes, excluding the dlc jobs that I was not familiar with, the physical was at the bottom. The maximum health correction value, the minimum attack power and the maximum attack power correction were 0, and the defense rather took reverse correction. The only thing worth noting is that the class’ basic speed is 5, which is very fast, and that the healing power is corrected.
As long as they didn’t have a special attack machine that could be called a bamboo spear, the bard was diced in terms of pure combat power.
“Fortified humans… If it is not ‘definite’ information, it will be postponed to a later date.”
In the end, the final narrower was either a healing nun or a bard. And what attracted me more at this moment was none other than the bard. When my co-workers come back, I ask for their opinions, and if they agree, I’ll focus on one.

A few days passed. It was enough time for the physical injuries to heal. But the scars remain. Both on the skin and in the heart. She asked Shay to go to Ar’s house yesterday, but she wasn’t home. I wondered where she was and what she was doing, but she didn’t bother to pursue. Asking how she was doing, she sent back and forth and left a note saying that if anyone knew the bard, she would be grateful if they let me know. She also hid some gold coins in her corner. What… She wasn’t expecting much. Even if he came to us for that reason, got something to eat, and tried to recover the awkward relationship, he didn’t intend to say anything at all.
After that, we started to focus only on bards.
“It’s harder to find bards than I thought.”
“It doesn’t seem to be favored among most warriors.”
“Why? Unless it’s a tolerably crappy warrior squad, it would be very reassuring to have a good bard on board…”
It was the power of a good bard to turn any poop into soybean paste, as long as it wasn’t a combination of the level of real maggots. Of course, there is a limit to that.
“Are all the skills poor? Or is the number itself small? I can’t… This is Salem.”
In the setting of The Long Terror, bards were ubiquitous wanderers, and it was absurd that there were no bards in Salem, which had the title of the city of warriors, at least outwardly, where people flocked from many places. I decided to assume that we were just unlucky and couldn’t find it.
“For starters, I told them to let me know if there is a good bard in the church. Although I did get scolded for saying that it’s been a long time since I’ve come and said that I’m doing my best. Lol.”
“I am… I’ve said it for now, but I think it’s better not to expect it.”
“Ah… Cestia, how is Cestia? Are you still very busy?”
“Yes. It seemed that he couldn’t even sleep well. It seems like you’ve already been to the church headquarters once, and the sisters you haven’t seen before have been recruited… It seems that we are still far from recovering as much as before.”
‘Cestia… She was a good healing nun in many ways, except for one or two.’
No matter how wide-legged the church was, they were not an agency or a human resources agency. There will be limits.
“Ah. Right. Leader.”
“Uh?”
“Sestia said that the second reward was prepared, when will she come to get it…”
“Ah!”
I forgot because of Arwa Indungeon.
‘I have to forget what I’m going to forget, wake up!’
“It’s good news after a long time. What is the second reward?”
“I couldn’t figure it out because they told me to keep it for the joy of receiving it.”
“Sestia is also true. Well, seeing what you’re talking about, it seems like you prepared it right away, but it won’t disappear if you go a day late. It’s late today, so let’s go early tomorrow.”
“Yes, chief.”
“In case you don’t know, stop by our church too, Captain! Could it be that Lady Justitia guided a bard who was just right for us?”
“Okay. I really hope you do.”
“La Ella will also take care of it.”
“Yes, yes. Raella-sama too.”
He prayed to La Ella and Justitian as his close friend.
‘La Ella. Miss Justitia. No, mothers-in-law! Please, I don’t even want it to the level of Sestia. Even if it’s just Kaya… No, Raella! You’re not saying that Kaya is lagging behind! Oh great! Who knows everything?’

Thump-
“Ugh…”
Thump thump-
“What…”
The next morning, no dawn.
A knock on the door forced me to wake up. Kaya and Shay, who had been sleeping next to me, were also awake and looking at the door.
“I am.”
Shay, who was closest to her door, got up in her nightgown and picked up her claymore, then she yanked her handle out of sync.
“Who… Beautiful?”
“I brought you.”
Ar, whom he sees in a few days, was carrying a woman much taller than him on her shoulders. The unidentified woman on her shoulder had her head and her limbs drooping like a ghost. She seemed to pass out.
“Who the hell did you bring…”
“A minstrel.”
“…”
No really?
