Chapter 259 – 23. The Girls From the Empire
After falling asleep early in the evening, the group woke up early in the morning and continued exploring the dungeon.
There are no monsters on the map, and not all traps are marked, but dungeons are usually the most dangerous from the beginning to the middle. Enemies come from the entrance, but no dungeon owner wants to go inside.
Sometimes, an out of control monster touches a facility or trap inside and causes an accident. That’s why most of the dungeons have some kind of danger in the foreground, and they are over the middle.
“Still, I believe that no one will be caught off guard.”
At Sheila’s firm words, everyone calmed down and gave an affirmative answer.
But in reality, at some point, the risk was drastically reduced.
“Siwoo. How’s the road?”
“We’re almost there. In another 30 minutes or so, the dungeon owner’s room will appear.”
“Is it…”
The presumed owner of this dungeon is, of course, a wizard.
Of course, since each magician has different magic, the details are unknown.
Even the map didn’t show that far, and the dungeon’s monsters and traps were extremely ordinary, except for the high level.
“After all, it was a dungeon for warming up.”
Hearing Sheila’s quiet self-talk, Siwoo smiled awkwardly.
From her point of view, it would actually be a warm-up level.
Perhaps, if Sheila had truly started raiding the dungeon, she would have finished it in three or four hours, let alone a day.
And the battle is less than an hour, and most of them will spend their time moving forward.
‘I’m a little sorry. I wanted to see Aunt Sheila fight her in action.’
Eventually, after one small skirmish, they were able to get to the bottom.
“Oh, it’s no joke with dust.”
“The estimated age is about 120 years ago.”
“It’s terrible. Do you think things will remain properly?”
“I think things with magic are at least okay.”
The private place of a very old, gender unknown wizard.
But now the intruders have searched every secret place.
“This looks like a bedroom.”
“Normal bedrooms are fine.”
“Um, there aren’t many things in the lab either.”
“Have you ever had a warehouse?”
“No. There are some items in the lab, but…”
Except for Sheila, who was vigilantly seated on a chair that had been roughly dusted off, the six of them moved in perfect order.
As long as it is a dungeon where you don’t know what it might be, there’s nothing good about staying there for a long time. The depths of the dungeon are full of crampedness unique to a closed space. The magic installed by the wizard has long since disappeared. I wanted to pack only useful things and leave quickly.
‘That’s interesting.’
Sheila kept a close eye on Siwoo among the six.
It was quite surprising.
As far as she knows, the number of times Siu has explored dungeons can be counted on one hand.
There are not too many missions, but most of them are difficult and low-performance missions such as subjugation and cleaning the garrison. Nevertheless, his movement and skill rivaled that of a skilled warrior or mercenary.
Even in Sheila’s eyes, she is not inferior to the A-class warriors’ party, Han Ji-na and others. No, maybe she is more skilled than them. Even now, I was advising them from time to time and cautioning them not to touch them carelessly.
‘It’s probably not innate. It’s definitely interesting.’
While Sheila was looking at Siwoo with interest, the exploration went smoothly.
However, that did not mean that the exploration performance was good.
“Isn’t this too much…”
“Compared to monsters and traps, it’s too meager.”
“Did you move the dungeon?”
I wasn’t expecting much, but this is gross.
Naturally, the atmosphere in the group subsided.
“Ummm, how did we get this map?”
Gina moaned and looked at Belluna and asked.
“…I know?”
“Isn’t it something you got from a dungeon?”
“I don’t think so… Well, I can’t remember.”
“Didn’t you get a thank you after completing some mission?”
“Oh, that’s right!”
Ji-na Han, Belluna, and the party members talked a lot.
A very different look from Siwoo Party.
Even though there are five women and we always hang out, we never run out of things to talk about and we get along really well.
They talked for 5 minutes just by asking where the map came from, but when they saw the quiet Sheila and the troubled Siwoo, they shut up. Of course, the two did not notice, but it was because of the awkwardness that still remained.
“Let’s go.”
Siwoo was the first to get lucky.
“Huh? Oh, let’s go back?”
“No. To these two unknown places.”
A map of the dungeon in front of everyone.
They, who had not yet decided what to do with the unknown place, agreed to Siwoo’s words after a brief exchange of glances. Same goes for Sheila. She was also a bit disappointed that she had to go on like this.
And things happened.
– Giggles. The guest has finally arrived!
“What…”
Han Si-woo calmly examined the translucent ghost floating in the air and the surroundings.
I was not careless.
Without a doubt, I rushed into the room in a state of alert.
The tank Evelyn was in the front, followed by Kate, Gina, Siwoo, and Jenny. In the rear, Belluna and Sheila were positioned so that they could move at any time. Even so, I couldn’t even react and was locked in the room in an instant.
‘And that ghost appeared.’
There is nothing to think about the true identity of the ghost.
A mage who is the master of the dungeon.
It is not uncommon for a wizard stuck in a closet to learn necromantic skills in his later years and appear in this way.
‘I guess…’
Siwoo’s eyes rolled and turned toward the wall beyond the ghost.
Unexpectedly, there is a window that leads to the outside. Through it, I could see Sheila trying to break a door or window by swinging her spear around even in a state of panic, and Belluna not knowing what to do.
‘It seems difficult to go out by force.’
– Giggling, come on! Then let the game begin!
“Game…?”
-This is a game made with great care by this wizard! As soon as… !
Something suddenly fell from the air.
Wooden sticks stacked on top of each other.
Roughly 4 per floor, about 30 steps high. Higher than expected There were two colors of wooden sticks, pink and white. Up to that point, it looked like a common Jenga, but I could see vaguely written letters on the top bar.
‘This is perfect…’
“Love Jenga?”
Everyone’s eyes focused on Han Ji-na, who spoke out.
“Gina? You know what?”
“Huh? No, that’s…”
-Goohyan!!
At first glance, the noisy-looking ghost wizard shouted.
– It’s different from Love Jenga! With Love Jenga!
“No, but no matter how you look at it…”
-This is a piece of love that I made with a little bit of knowledge from another world!
‘That’s it…’
Hanji I pressed down on her words that popped into her head. It seemed that there was nothing good about going against the planting of that ghost who didn’t seem to have a good personality. As if the others were the same, he didn’t say much and focused on the ghost.
-Anyway, I’ll leave the explanation behind for a while.
The ghost turned her around and glared at Sheila out of her window.
-Stop it, lancer.
“You’re the one who opens this door right now. If not…”
A deep blue light streamed from Sheila’s spear.
Aura Blade.
An ultimate skill that can only be used by those who have reached the supreme realm of Master.
But even when the ghost saw Sheila like that, she only snorted.
-Joy. If you use it, you know what this dungeon will be like?
“…”
-You haven’t used it yet, so you’re probably using it for intimidation.
“…Tsk.”
Sheila, stabbed in the back, clicked her tongue.
As the ghost said. It wasn’t necessarily an aura blade, but only an aura, and the wall was a little precarious even when spearing. It’s probably designed to collapse from the start. The owner of the dungeon, by the will of that ghost.
– Giggles. It’s not such a boring game, so just watch!
“For now, I’ll follow what you said. But if someone gets hurt…”
Sheila takes a bottle of holy water from her bag and sprays it on her spear.
The sight made even the ghost, who had been laughing miserably, flinch.
‘What a life…’
It is a spirit body made with difficulty by the necromantic arts he hastily learned in his later years.
Before he dies, he draws on all of his body’s strength to perfectly control the dungeon, but it’s impossible to do more than that. Perhaps, just by brushing against a spear dipped in holy water, half of the body would ascend to heaven. Of course, he insisted that there would be no such thing.
-Joy. It’s not a lie, so take a good look.
She made a dungeon map for one purpose and distributed it to the market.
Five or six sheets. And shuffle the password appropriately, making it look older.
It’s been 30 years since then, but few parties came to visit whether it was a bad location or a difficult password.
And they were the first party to reach this point.
-Chuckling, so much fun!
“So this Love Zen… What can I do with this love block game?”
When the ghost turned around again, Siu asked.
He thought of Gwen, the necromancer who was still having fun in the mansion. Apparently, the ghost in front of her also seemed to be similar to Gwen. However, what the ghost said was beyond Siwoo’s imagination.
-Sun.
“…Yes?”
-Let the five of you do it. This love gen, no, this love dicing.
“…?”
-I’ll take a look. That’s what I want to see!
“…”
‘This ghost bastard…’
It seems that it was voyeurism, not sexiness.
When I smiled and turned my head, for some reason I couldn’t see Hanji.
“Huh?”
“Si, Siwoo. What are you doing?
“…”
Four women sitting huddled together in front of Jenga.
Laughter came out in another way. I peeked out of her window to see Sheila shaking her head in amazement, and Belluna was covering her face with her hands, saying she was more ashamed of herself. Even from the outside, what about the parties?
“…Well, it just went well.”
I decided to enjoy this.
I wonder what the phrases actually written on that stacking tree of love are.
Siu walked towards them in a hurry.
Everyone seems to know Jenga, but everyone sits too wide to lift a block of wood. The reason was immediately clear. It was cute to see that everyone wanted to sit next to him.
“I’m just going to sit near you.”
Without hesitation, he sat right in front, between Gina and Jenny, and said.
Still, the joys and sorrows could not be helped.
“Then… Who should we start with?”
At Siwoo’s low words, the four women quickly exchanged glances.
It doesn’t seem to make much of a difference whoever does it first, but I don’t know when this will fall again. With that slight difference, one or two times will come and go. The girls, who often enjoyed playing with each other in the mansion, knew that the difference was huge.
“Let’s do it in order of age.”
Gina sneakily embraced Evelyn.
“Ugh.”
There is nothing better to show off than age.
Siu, who intuited a nerve fight while looking around, shrugged his shoulders and lightly extended his hand.
A small piece of wood that comes out with a squeak.
“Ah.”
“Is it Siwoo?”
“It’s annoying, but let’s go to my right.”
“As expected, saint-nim♡”
Siwoo is the absolute best at this place.
Everyone agreed with every word he said.
“…Okay. So what is it written on?”
“Hmm.”
Siwoo turned the piece he was looking at alone and revealed it to everyone.
A phrase written on a white block.
[What is your first love?]
“I am a saint.”
“…!!”
As soon as I read the question, Jenny answered first without thinking about it.
Three gazes stained with bewilderment turned to the youngest.
“Now, wait a minute. Didn’t the person who picked this one point out someone?”
Although Kate looked up at her ghost claiming an annulment,
– Clumsy!! Yeah, that’s what I wanted oh, good ok? You know how to do that!
Ignored by the delighted woman twisting her hazy body.
“Ugh…”
“Hehe, put it on. Holy Son♡”
“…Okay.”
The first order went smoothly.
However, after quickly realizing the difference between pink and white, Jenny took out the pink piece.
[Kiss]
The bold youngest stuck his head toward the seat next to him.
“Side♡”
