Chapter 74 Elf Village

[Radiant Forest, Floor 4, Isaac's Dungeon]

Giant trees lined up. Among the thick leaves and large branches were rows of wooden houses. A hanging bridge dangled, connecting one tree to another.

The pointed-eared creatures inhabited the place. They had fair skin and silver hair. At first glance, they looked like humans, but if they looked closely, they looked too stunning to be called humans.

They were elves. The monsters in the dungeon were famous for their love of nature.

The elves seemed to be busy with construction activities. They hung in trees, creating shelter by building the log houses or hollowing out the trees. Some had built a connecting bridge. Above the ground level, they created walls by stacking the large stones.

The remaining few were riding on the deer-horned bears, transporting the construction materials and food stocks; such as fruit and water.

"The tubers are put in the warehouse. Fruits and water are put here."

A little girl riding a deer-headed bear seemed to be giving instructions to the female elves who were serving food for the others.

Then, the little girl looked up. She saw a white-haired man who seemed to be standing in the middle of the bridge, as if he was watching them all.

"Lord!"

She gestured 'ok' at the white-haired man. He nodded, then the little girl smiled broadly for a moment and returned to commanding the working elves.

Isaac sighed at his assistant's behavior.

'She has a talent for torturing the monsters.'

Right now, Isaac was supervising the settlement building process.

After visiting Goyo to request the making of a weapon on the 2nd Floor, Isaac saw a small human community forming there. Even though the place was just a blacksmith's forge.

From there, Isaac was inspired to create something similar on Floor 4. A living community much larger than a small safe zone that stood in the middle of a stretch of monsters; A place that would become the centre of life in the dungeon.

'

Isaac would create an Elf Village.

It would be different from the 2nd Floor which only provided one service in the form of a blacksmith forge. Isaac would create many services from various aspects.

He would open a bar, shop, inn, alchemy shop, weapon shop; everything that could support human's needs while in the dungeon. Isaac would make the Elf Village a resting place for hunters who were tired of hunting.

Of course, the purpose of creating this place was not to make life easier for humans, but also to harvest them.

'In the human world, there is a guild, right? Then, I'll create one in my dungeon.'

Isaac would create a guild, a place for hunters to do the quests from the elves.

The Elf Village guild would provide various types of missions from the hardest to the easiest. The higher the difficulty of the mission, the higher the reward they would get.

He would set the difficulty of the guild missions from Level I to IX.

Levels I to III were green category missions, where hunters who did it would have a high chance of survival. The mission's difficulties in this category were just a gimmick to pique their interest; It was some kind of tutorial to introduce them to the missions.

Levels IV to VII were yellow category missions. These missions provided moderate difficulty, their chances of surviving these missions were 50/50. Those who were strong would deserve to live, while the weak would be harvested.

Last Level VIII to IX. Red category missions. Hunters who took these missions would be sent on a suicide mission. The chance of them surviving was 1%. These missions were the main trapped of Floor 4.

'It's not a perfect plan, but it's worth trying.'

In his previous life, Isaac had tended to focus on killing humans by hunting them down. He never tried to deceive them.

They were too smart to deal with life and death situations, but they would be too stupid when it came to the pleasure of the world.

Isaac would lull them into the beautiful life of the Elf Village, then pushed them to death.

To make this happen, Isaac needed to create a deathly area in the Radiant Forest. Its name was Dire Area.

During the construction of the 4th Floor, Isaac divided the Radiant Forest into two parts.

'ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ Novel(B) in.ᴄᴏᴍ ᴛᴏ ᴇxᴘᴇʀɪᴇɴᴄᴇ ꜰᴀsᴛᴇʀ ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ sᴘᴇᴇᴅ.',

To the east of the forest was the bright side, a relatively safe place for hunters at level 25 and above. Most of the monsters there were fye and plantae type monsters.

The plantae type monsters were cheap and most of them tended to be harmless. They had a weakness against the element of fire. Dungeon Masters usually used the plantae-type monsters to maintain the forest and increase the mana content in the dungeon.

While fye was a monster that had a high affinity with mana. Most of them were monsters who had high intellect. They were skilled in magic and very terrifying in massive scale battles.

The only weakness of them was that they were very expensive. An elf used to eat 5000 zenny, one-fifth of the price of a dwarf; even though they were in the same class. Besides, their breeding time was quite long, giving the Dungeon Master a headache if many of them died.

While the east side was light, then the west side of the forest was the opposite, it was darkness.

The western area of ??the forest was a polluted area. Isaac instilled a poison that damaged half of the Radiant Forest's territory. The light was hard to enter that place and the mana content was very low; a terrible place for magic type hunters. The resident monsters were beasts. The humans who took the Elf Village guild quest would later be sent to the Dire Area to meet their death.

It could be said that the Dire Area was a place of human slaughterhouse.

'I put monsters level 35 to 45 in the Dire Area. It seems they are enough. For now, Floor 4 doesn't need to have a dungeon yet.'

Isaac smirked at the thought of his plan.

He observed the elves who were busy building the settlements. Actually, he could order Pippi to do it, but he felt the elves needed work to practice their social skills.

'The elves are almost similar to humans. The higher their intellect, the more individualistic and arrogant they become.'

His eyes remained fixed on the elf.

Just as he was lost in thought, he felt a harmonious aura approaching him.

"My lord, you really like this place."

Isaac turned.

A beautiful woman in a blue dress smiled sweetly. She had golden hair like wheat with pointed ears poking out of her strands of hairs. Her sky-blue eyes looked at Isaac with a warm gaze.

Anyone who saw her would fall in love at first sight.
