Chapter 132: Passage Permit

exploration dungeon.

Unlike climbing a tower to accomplish a mission or jumping into a dungeon on weekdays to collect materials, exploration dungeons had the characteristic of not having a clear objective. The heroes often returned empty-handed, but sometimes they brought with them rare materials that were worth seeing. There were also items that could only be obtained from exploration dungeons.

(T/N: I'm going to use the weekday dungeon instead of the weekly dungeon from now on as it's more accurate.)

I'll just have to go and check.

That's right.

Eorca nodded at my words.

We had to go into town to look around. We spent a lot of time deciding what to do afterwards.

We walked along the road through the eastern plains to the eastern gate of Nersa.

Merchants, mercenaries, and pedestrians in various attire crisscrossed the streets. Two soldiers inspected people entering and exiting through the gate. The porter cracked his whip, and the cart full of goods began to move.

It looks like the inspection is over. It was our turn. The soldier's gaze swept up and down my figure, narrowing his eyes as if something seemed suspicious.

Please present your passage permit.

Passage permit?

Don't tell me you don't know what that is. You cannot enter without a passage permit.

Two soldiers blocked the passage with their spears crossed.

I took out a gold coin from my pocket.

Is that enough?

This is not a transit permit!

If you don't like that, you have to go to the north gate. I think I can get through there.

Come here!

The soldier took the gold coin from my hand, looked around carefully, and whispered in a low voice.

I'll let you through, but please don't cause any trouble.

Don't worry.

The soldier swallowed nervously and put the gold coin in his pocket.

His expression suddenly became serious.

Are the people behind you part of your group?

Yes.

In this case,

Give me my gold. I'm going north.

Pa passed. cough.

The soldier cleared his throat and raised his spear.

I entered the passage. Halfway through, Eorca clicked her tongue.

Poor people.

Isn't money the most important thing to these guys?

We went out into the street.

There are various buildings on both sides of the street. The main street was crowded with merchants and citizens selling their goods. I didn't feel the tense atmosphere I felt during the mission.

I put my hand on my chin.

Just before Nelsa leaves the 10th floor, her defenses are breached, and she is almost taken over. It is safe to assume that most of the city has been invaded. Losses will probably exceed a thousand. However, there were no signs of a massacre in the city.

Information gathering is required.

System messages are displayed at the top of the field of view.

[Group 1, Home Peninsula Exploration]

[Time remaining until return: 47:48:22]

48 hours.

I'll be back in the waiting room in two days.

I had to gather as much information as possible about the exploration dungeon. Although it wasn't necessary at the moment, dungeon exploration will become an important element later on. It was important to build efficient agricultural routes.

Oppa, should I look around?

What kind of information are you looking for?

Without any specific instructions, Jenna and Aaron approached me and asked.

I answered with a wry smile.

All.

Do you have anything?

Yes, please find something interesting.

The three of them looked at me with confused expressions.

I turned to them and continued.

Didn't you hear me? Everyone can get information and enjoy it wherever they like. The master provided the money, so there should be enough. Let's eat delicious food and go sightseeing.

Are you serious?

Don't pretend to rest; actually relax. I'll do the rest.

You can gather the information yourself.

This may not be possible if the situation is dangerous, but based on my observations, it seemed possible to deal with myself.

Relieving stress was important.

This was one of the major effects of the exploration dungeon.

So far, Party 1 members have not been resting properly. Even though he was told to rest, he reluctantly came to the practice range.

Why don't you like it?

I said this to the three members who were standing there incredulously.

Are you kidding?

What does that mean?

Can I do whatever I want?

I had to explain things to skeptical members over and over again.

Anytng didn't send us into exploration dungeons to get tower-like results. Our research level was too low. Dungeon Depth Research needed to be at least level 4 to farm properly. This time, it was just a test.

After about 10 minutes of persuasion, I was able to get my party members to understand.

Need for rest. Conditioning and stress management were two of the most important aspects I emphasized during Niflheimer's surgery.

Hehe, hehehe, then shall we go out? Go out of town. I'm telling you now: don't try to stop me. I'll go far away.

Do whatever you like.

R-Really? Do you want to see the sea?

Eorca smiled shyly and disappeared from the city.

I didn't stop her.

I'll be back in the waiting room in two days. Remember, there will be no peace until you go back and clear the 20th floor. Part of the mission is to stay in shape.

Come to think of it, Mr. Hyung-nim.

I'm going with Oppa.

Please don't come.

Jenna looked disappointed, but she finally calmed down when I told her that she would be coming to see me the next evening.

That gave me time to participate in her activities at her own pace.

After saying goodbye to them, I walked down the street and looked around.

There was nothing particularly remarkable. It was a city like any other.

However, the number of mercenaries seems to be abnormally large. People with weapons were seen everywhere. They met in various places and had conversations.What's your strategy for?

It's not working. Blocked.

Actually, you should call.

. I could barely understand the conversation over the hustle and bustle of the city.

There was no need to rush. Two days was enough time. I walked down the street, caressing the gold coins in my pocket. I was planning to go to an inn or a tavern and listen to the story. At that moment, I noticed a three-story building towering over the intersection. The sign had beer and chicken drawn on it.
