390 Episode 371: Bandit King's Treasure

In front of us, safely crossing the Black Baboon's territorial forests, stood a chopped mountain.

"Mm?"

Fell, speaking so loudly, stared near the top of the mountain.

"What's wrong?

"There will be a cut cliff in front of the top."

"Oh, there is."

"Around there, there's magic like illusion."

"Illusion? You mean there's something around there?

"Probably."

"If that's what you're talking about, why don't I just go and see what's going on?"

That's what Dra, who was listening to me and Fell, offered.

Sure, Dora can fly, so she'll be able to check it out...

"The magic of illusion is being done, which means someone intentionally did it, right? Is it dangerous?

"Dora wouldn't have a problem"

'That's right. I'm not that weak. "

"I know that's Dra strong, but it's Dra alone to go, isn't it? Until now, we've all been acting together. I don't know what it is, and I thought you were worried."

'Cause it's okay. If anything happens, I'm not gonna get hit right away.'

'That's right. I also recognize the strength of the dragon. I'm not going to let them do it. "

"I hope Fell and Dora say so..."

'I'll be right back, you guys have to wait here. Okay, I'm just gonna go. "

"Ah, Dora, stay!

He didn't even hear me say wait, and Dora flew to the top of the mountain.

"You don't have to go right away like that. I wonder if you're okay..."

'Don't worry. Dora is strong.'

Of course I know that, but I'm worried I'm going to go somewhere where I don't know what it is.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

"Hey, are you sure you're okay?

Nearly two hours have already passed since Dora flew away.

I'm just worried, I can't stay jizzy.

'Don't wander around, calm down. Dora has told me many times not to worry. "

Fell looks at me as if I've been stunned walking around restlessly.

"I'll tell you what, it's been a long time since Dora flew away. Something's wrong."

'Wait, look over there. He's back.'

That said, when Fell looks up at the sky pointing at him at the tip of his nose, something comes this way at high speed.

Something that flew in with Hyun stopped in front of us.

"You made me wait."

"Dora! I was so worried you wouldn't make it back!

"Wawa no."

"Hung, that's why I told you so many times not to worry."

"You'll be worried if I say that because it's hard to come back."

"Minnie, what's wrong?

Oh, Sui's awake, too.

I slept in a leather bag after meeting Black Baboon.

'If Sui's awake too, it's just fine. There was something funny about that place Fell said.'

"Something interesting?

"Oh. There it is..."

The story of Dora, who went on reconnaissance, said that the cut cliff in front of the top, which Fell pointed out, was actually illusory and only seemed like a cliff at first glance.

But when I checked carefully after what Fell had heard, he found a cavernous horizontal hole around the middle belly of the cliff.

'I thought this was what was hidden in the illusion, so I went inside for now. Then...'

What Dra found was a human body skewered with a spear.

There were three of them. They said that it was only bones after much of the time, but they wore leather armor, had swords, and looked like adventurers often seen in the Adventurer's Guild.

Then he said there were also demonic bones shattered like they were crushed by something.

Caves, adventurers, demons, remembered from these are dungeons.

Dora also said, "Could this be a dungeon?" He thought, "but the demons never come out, going deeper and deeper.

As soon as I stopped flying and put my foot on the ground while I thought it was strange......

"You make a noise and my head is filled with fire."

"As soon as I put my foot on."

'Probably a trap. Dora, you're so small and helpful. "

"Keh, let it go."

"But does having a trap mean it's a dungeon after all?

Dora doesn't seem to be talking about demons, but when there's a trap, I feel like that's the most likely thing.

Are you going to the dungeon?

'No, Sue, that's not a dungeon. I went some way back and thought, that's not a dungeon. That trap felt more like a human setup than a dungeon. "

"People?

"Oh. Even during the fireworks trap we talked about earlier, there was still the smell of oil. You don't use oil for traps in dungeons. '

If you say so, sure.

I totally forgot because there was no harm done thanks to the Fells, but you had that hand trap in the dungeon.

But I never smelled oil when I tried to remember.

"The trap of the dungeon consists of what lies within the basic dungeon. If it's a fire trap, it's a fire stone, not oil.

Fell is right, there are demons in the dungeon, so it would be more efficient to use fire demon stones without having to use oil or anything.

"So you're saying that people set it up, as Dora said. But why are you here? You're saying that something you want to protect by doing that is hidden in that cave?

"Treasures or something?

"No, no, it won't necessarily be a treasure. It could be something you can't tell the world because it's so hidden in there."

'No, it won't. I came to this mountain in the first place. If you have something to say, you wouldn't bother telling God to go.'

"Oh, yeah. You're here on a commissioned basis, in this mountain. When that happens, what is it?

'I know Dra's saying treasure is the number one line............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Fell raised her voice like she remembered something.

"Fell, you know something?

"I remember."

"What?

About 300 years ago, there was a bandit around here who called himself the Bandit King.

"Bandit King?

According to Fell's story, a flavor of the person named the Bandit King repeatedly stole or robbed the area as he traveled all over the continent to Negijo.

Attack the merchants, the nobles, and the likely golden carriage, and when it succeeds, move quickly.

Hard to grasp a place for that, and both the country and the Adventurer's Guild at the time said they were burning their hands at this Bandit King.

There was no reason to know that the Bandit King was building a Negijo around here, or anything else that he knew because it was Fell.

"I should have told you this was Negijo."

"I don't have any brother-in-law, but I need to tell you something."

"Well, yes, I do."

'Well anyway, I guess they were getting some kind of magic item. This forest, which has been the territory of Black Baboon since that time, has also been free to come and go.'

If this area has been the territory of Black Baboon since that time, then you won't find it.

No one would think there was a Negijo in such a dangerous zone.

"The bandit king, but he is truly greedy. He said he was getting old and was on the verge of life expectancy, but he told no one he was going to do any of the treasures he had."

Wow, amazing chunks of greed.

There's nothing you can do about having treasure when you die.

"Then decades later, rumors arose that there was a Bandit King's Negijo around here talking about whether he was a descendant of a Bandit King. So, there was speculation that the bandit king who had made him disappear was sleeping with the treasure around here. I hear a lot of adventurers have come to the land for treasure. Most of them seem to have been turned back by Black Baboon."

"There's no story of the Bandit King's treasure being found."

"Umm."

"Does Fell see that the treasure of the Bandit King is hidden in the cave that Dra has been watching?"

"Fair enough."

……… could be.

In the first place, even Demiurgos' trust feels like a thank you for the offering.

Given that, I just think you've taught me what's in my interest.

"Bandit King's treasure..."

Sounds interesting.

'Huhahahahaha, let me talk to you! That's hilarious! I can't believe we haven't found the treasure yet! Sue, it's not a dungeon, but it's starting to sound fun!

Are you having fun? I'll do the swim too!

'So let's go quickly!

"Umm."

"Go -!

"No, no, no, guys, wait a minute. I'm kind of willing to go, but in an hour, the sun will go down. You can't climb mountains after dark, tomorrow, tomorrow."

"Mmm, I can't help it"

"Well, I came hungry, and if it's tomorrow, that's fine."

"Sui's hungry, too, and tomorrow. No, no."

So it was decided to climb the mountain tomorrow.

Bandit King's treasure is fine because I'm interested too, but before I do...

"How do we climb this mountain?

That sounds like I have to be a professional climber.
