Chapter 296

Episode 296 Newbie (4)

Noark, a city full of affection.

However, if you interpret this word differently, it also means that there is only ‘Jeong’ to see.

The prices are so jumbled that I can’t get used to them.

Aged and outdated administrative services.

Even this morning, when I went to the labyrinth management office to receive the binding magic, the administrative wizard in the line I was standing in said that he was tired and took an hour’s rest.

Well, after that, I went to the front row out of anger and got my turn.

“How long will you be like that?”

“Ah, I feel strange for a second. There really is no difference between this room and 20 years from now.”

“What are you saying out of the blue?”

There’s no such thing as romance.

Even if the cancer is the same, isn’t it a labyrinth from 20 years ago?

“Follow me.”

After looking around and falling into various emotions, I ran after Amelia, who started running first.

It was a bit odd.

It looks like you’re on the right track, but

how can you find your way without even looking at the compass?

‘Oh no way……’

“Are you an Indian?”

At my question, Amelia looked back for a moment, then started running again without a word. Sёarch* The NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

But that was the answer.

A human character with

‘crazy…….’ aura user, doppelganger essence, and guider traits?

I feel like the world is unfair.

I’m a little greedy too.

‘I think a guy like this would be really trustworthy on the team, but…’

Would you accept it if I go back and recruit him after getting to know him better? There’s quite a bit of space left to fill the 10-person clan capacity…

Oh, by the way, my clan is going well without me, right?

“…….”

It was the time when I was running along with Amelia while thinking about this and that.

“Oh, are you two going?”

A group of explorers encountered along the way started talking to them.

They were not low-level explorers, but a group of people who were running toward the second floor like us to shorten the travel time.

‘This is a bit tense.’

Currently, I belong to Noark, not Lapdonia.

Perhaps because of that, I’m worried that people over there might think something suspicious about us.

Well, in the end, it was a useless worry.

“Don’t pay attention.”

“Heh heh, how picky. Have a hard time!”

Amelia said coldly, and the group laughed merrily and disappeared along the way.

“Why are you so frozen?”

“It’s just… it’s nothing special. I just thought it would be difficult to live with a sin.”

“………what?”

Amelia asked back as if she had heard something she couldn’t hear, and then laughed heartily.

“Hot fhahahaha!”

To be honest, from my point of view, it was very heterogeneous.

It wasn’t like I was talking about laughing like that, and it was the first time I’d ever seen him laugh so loudly.

“……Huh, you seem to like things like this?”

When I asked, feeling somehow proud, Amelia stopped laughing and became serious.

“Don’t get me wrong. I just laughed because it was ridiculous.”

Uh, if that’s the case, lower the corner of your mouth and say it.

Maybe it’s because he’s from Noark, so his humor code is pretty bizarre.

Was it so much fun that I was trembling with anxiety?

Amelia opened her mouth as she tutted and clicked her tongue disgruntled.

“In the first place, the people I just saw were from Noark.”

“what?”

The guy who seemed like a pleasant old man was from Noark?

“How do you know that? I heard it’s up to you to decide whether or not to wear a faction badge.”

In response to my question, Amelia briefly explained.

There were no wizards and priests in the team.

As if the equipment was stolen from someone, the colors and designs of the equipment he was wearing were not uniform.

And above all…

“The only people from this side to take a kid with a robe covering his face.”

“A kid? Oh, you mean that little explorer behind you?”

“okay.”

“Hmm, I thought I was just a short girl or a dwarf… How can you be so sure?”

To my question, Amelia answered with a slightly rigid voice.

“I just know when I see it.”

“what?”

“Okay, let’s move.”

Amelia cut off the conversation as if it wasn’t something she wanted to talk about at length.

It’s one of this woman’s naughty habits.

Ha real people make me wonder

“Amelia.”

“…….”

“But if what you’re saying is true, what’s the reason people from Noark come into the labyrinth with their children?”

Instead of asking how he was able to recognize the little boy at first glance, I asked something a little different.

As if this was okay, Amelia also answered.

“For now, the children can be pampered for a pittance.”

“Hmm, but I wonder if that’s the reason to bring him to the Labyrinth.”

“Surprisingly useful. It can be used to do troublesome things like cooking or staying vigil, and it’s also helpful for looting.”

“It’s useful for looting…?”

“It’s used as bait. If a child approaches and asks for help, even the most wary explorers will listen.”

Um is it?

“It’s strange. If it were me, I’d be more wary when a child approaches. In Lapdonia, minors aren’t allowed to enter the labyrinth, aren’t they?”

“That’s because you’re a person 20 years from now. The law doesn’t change then and now, but at this time, even public officials were implicitly allowing it.”

Wow, when he says this, it seems like a real elder saying, ‘In my time…’.

“But Amelia, how old are you?”

“……Move your feet while talking nonsense.”

Anyway, after that, we chatted and headed to the second floor, and as soon as we ran, we arrived at our destination.

As expected, the portal was opened by someone.

It’s a pity. I think we came too early.

“Go up.”

As soon as we entered the portal, we were greeted by a gloomy yet soggy air.

‘I feel bad whenever I come here.’

land of the dead.

It is the area where various undead monsters such as Ghouls and Deathfind appear, as well as the place where Amelia and I first met.

‘Hoo, I was really scared at the time, so I thought I was going to get tired.’

Looking at this, I want to know what people really do.

How could I have known that the two of us would come here again as colleagues this time.

“Amelia, I have a question for you.”

“do not do that.”

“I told you in Bifron then. The people you killed here had sins that deserved death. Could it have something to do with the past you’re trying to mend?”

“You… you really have a lot of questions about me.”

“Of course.”

I nodded, unscathed by the sarcasm, and Amelia clicked her tongue in response.

“Yes, there is a relationship.”

um, so was it

I wanted to hear the story behind it, but I stopped because I thought I would get angry when I saw the expression on my face.

I’ll have to ask this again later.

“When the question is over, let’s go.”

After entering the second floor, we continued to slaughter monsters without stopping.

But what if there are only two people?

It reminded me of the time when I was an explorer with Einar as a duo, and it gave me a new feeling.

At that time, each battle was a struggle.

Time flies.

Poo-!

Suddenly, even Deathfind could be beaten to death with bare fists.

“Behel—laaaaaa!!!”

“…….”

“I’m sorry. It’s a habit.”

“All right, sit down. Let’s rest here for a while.”

I just moved around all day, and when it was time for the night, I settled down and sat down. And I made an agreement to eat a simple meal, sleep only three hours, and move.

By the way, there was no night shift.

Is it okay to summon an alter ego with [Self-replicating]?

“…is that okay?”

In the game, the doppelganger essence did not come with an ‘auto-hunt’ mode.

If so, how did this happen?

The answer was simple indeed.

“Don’t worry. I haven’t slept properly since I became an adult.”

It is possible to control the clone body to some extent because the mind is half awake even though it is always sleeping.

Well, that’s what this woman said.

I don’t know if this is biologically possible.

“Tsk, somehow my eyes are always wide open.”

“Are you going to fight?”

“I was saying that you should sleep well with your personality.”

“…….”

Anyway, during auto-hunting mode, it is said that the movement becomes slower than usual, but this should be enough for the lower floors.

“Then rest.”

So, I just sat there without objection.

Sleep did not come right away.

It wasn’t because I was anxious that I didn’t have a night watch.

After all, I’m a tanker, so even if I get beaten while sleeping, I won’t be able to die right away with anything.

‘Are the kids doing well…….’

While camping in the labyrinth, thoughts of my colleagues kept swirling in my head.

The first night passed like that.

***

Day 2 of entering the Labyrinth.

We arrived at the 3rd floor exactly as scheduled.

So now it’s time to do the mission that has entered the labyrinth.

Oh, there is only one mission.

Returning with achievements worthy of being noticed by the lord of Noark Castle.

[From the first day I came down to Noark, I proved my skills by wandering around the city. But even so, the lord of the castle did not approach us.]

Amelia said this about the reason.

[You’re obviously being careful. There have been several cases where the royal family has sent operatives underground.]

So, in other words, what we have to prove in the labyrinth this time is not ability, but ‘propensity’.

Are we really worthy of Noark?

[The easiest way to prove us is plunder. Suspicion will be reduced if I go back after collecting the plunder from this labyrinth.]

Amelia said plunder as the first method, and I agreed.

Oh, of course, on one condition.

Let’s plunder, but target looters, not normal explorers.

[Is that a condition?]

[Yes. I don’t place too much value on people’s lives now, but I don’t kill anyone for my own gain.] […But

how are you going to tell the marauders apart?]

Amelia was flexible, saying that if there was a way, she would do it, and I said He said that it was difficult and he would show it himself later.

So time has passed now.

“So now what?”

We arrived at the 3rd floor, which was the target floor.

That’s because looters can’t come out on the 4th floor, and it’s difficult to work together on the 5th floor.

The 3rd floor is perfect for loot farming.

“If you really have a way to identify a looter, go ahead and do it.”

to be in a hurry.

Soon I asked Amelia a few things.

“Amelia, first use the stealth system.”

“……Stealth?”

“What are you pretending not to know? Isn’t there something you wrote in front of me then? Suddenly disappeared into the darkness.” ”

……. ”

Amelia disappeared into the darkness just as I said without asking any questions

. ”

Well

then, what’s next?” I

heard a voice in the air, so it was very awkward, but I answered calmly without showing it.

“It’s nothing special. Now you just have to follow me in that state. I’ll find the marauders.”

“Yes.”

One of the good things about Amelia as a companion

is that no matter what I do, she refrains from asking miscellaneous questions and

watches

.

Amelia asked me out of the blue,

” Why

…

why

did you suddenly take off your gear?”

“It’s hard to explain, so just look at it.”

Afterwards, I put everything except for a few equipments into the subspace ring. Then I took out the beginner’s set I had my eye on in advance and put it on.

“…….”

Seeing that the surroundings are quiet . Up to this point , Amelia didn’t seem to have any idea what I was trying to do.

However, as the saying goes,

hearing it a hundred times is

worse than seeing it once.

.And

shouted with all my might,

“I lost my way and parted with my colleague! Oh, I can’t see! Is there anyone! Help me!!!”

A barbarian’s secret skill that evolved to protect the heart

.

I have a lot of money!!”

He who comes is not good.
