I hope you're doing well. Hyung-nim.
You don't have to say that.
I went down to the first floor, waving.
The plaza was packed with people, most of whom were seeing it for the first time.
Who are they?
We were called to the upper and lower floors.
Nerissa answered briefly.
3rd generation.
The first heroes are Jenna and Edith. Verquist and Nerissa, who were recruited after the strategy book was given to Aniton, formed the second generation. The third-generation students were divided into upper and lower floors. They looked at us, especially at me, with a mixture of alarm and fear.
You may not know this, but there is a strange rumor going around.
I understand that.
After returning from the exploration dungeon, I hardly went to the first floor.
There was no reason to get off. After splitting the upper and lower floors, Anytng no longer sends fighters from his second floor to weekly dungeons. It was a kind of distinction.
An arrogant man.
Someone in the crowd muttered.
The enemy's gaze turned to Velquist.
Verquist casually looked away from him and laughed.
Where does the dog bark? If you want to fight, get out.
Don't provoke her.
I stopped Verquist from drawing his sword and looked at the rift in space.
The door was open, but people were blocking the center aisle. Suddenly, an old man appeared in front of me.
Excuse me, are you Khan Israt? I just arrived here from Mercudo four days ago. I have a request! I have a serious illness that makes life very difficult. 2nd floorPlease proceed to page.
Ah!
I pushed the man aside.
Several men in the crowd dragged the fallen man away.
Serious illness.
He spewed nonsense.
The opportunity to relax in the waiting room was beyond imagination. As long as it doesn't kill you, any injury or illness can be completely healed within seconds. Whether it's cancer or back pain, it will return to normal.
About 10 days.
I calculated the time when I was not on the first floor.
I was busy taming these two and didn't feel the need to check either of them.
However, I felt that the atmosphere on the first floor had changed significantly over the past 10 days. There was a similar crowd when we entered the exploration dungeon, but they had never tried to block the way like this.
Why are these people gathered together? Don't stop Party 1! [The Master is waiting!]
Izel pointed his finger, and the men at the well scattered.
Verquist and Nerissa looked at me strangely.
Anyway, we still have a long way to go.
I entered the gap in space with the four others.
The door creaked shut. I said this to Nerissa, who was examining the dagger sheath.
When did this start?
It started right after the upper and lower floors were separated. Little by little, signs began to appear.
characters? Is it a premonition?
Eorca blinked.
I laughed lightly and replied, "It's a side effect of separating the upper and lower floors."
They were strange people.
Don't worry. Now, that mission is more urgent.
I still didn't quite understand.
All they were doing was keeping an eye on me.
It felt more like I was spying than watching.
[Main dungeon; current challenge floor is the 16th floor. ]
[The door will open in 10 seconds.]
The door will open in 10 seconds. [Get ready!]
A faint light streamed from the left mirror.
He placed his right hand on the sheath of his sword.
When you enter the field, please follow my orders. got it?
Yes.
Yes, sir.
I nodded.
The light emitted from the mirror enveloped the entire gap in the room.
When I opened my closed eyes, an unfamiliar room was waiting for me.
At the same time, a message was displayed indicating the purpose of the mission.
[16th layer]
[Mission type: Exploration]
[Purpose: Explore the specified location!]
Everyone's gaze focuses on one point.
They look at the goal of the mission the same way I do.
Verquist frowned.
Exploration, right? This is my first time on a mission like this.
I've only done it once on the 6th floor so far. It wasn't a particularly difficult mission. Isn't that so, Oppa?
Different from the 6th floor. Let's take a look when we arrive.
I looked around.
This is
We are standing on a luxurious carpet with intricate patterns.
There seemed to be an entrance behind us, a door leading outside. The walls were decorated with various portraits and ornaments, and a high chandelier hung from the ceiling. In front of me, I noticed that there were stairs that were divided into left and right. The end of the stairs led to hallways on either side.
At first glance, it looked like the entrance to a large mansion.
Do you know this?
Nerissa raised her eyebrows.
I'm not sure, either. I'll let you know when I'm sure.
Okay.
Second exploration mission.
This means the streaming quest has been triggered.
I spoke to the party members in a low voice as they looked around.
Please search here from now on. There should be an exit to the next floor somewhere. Of course, not this door.
I reached for the back door.
A transparent barrier blocked my fingers.
Nerissa, continue. Scout in stealth mode, and if you see anything unusual, come back and report it.
Yes.
The rest will maintain their formation and move forward.
Clicking sound.
I drew my sword and shield.
The sound of each member drawing their weapon echoed in the empty hall of the mansion.
There's no one here.
It wasn't an abandoned mansion.
It was well maintained.
I'm leaving.
Nerissa nodded at me and lowered her posture.
Nerissa's outline has become blurred. That was the effect of her basic stealth ability, "subtle movement." Nerissa silently climbed the stairs and disappeared into the hallway on the left.
Now go left. Exploration formation.
The members spread back and forth with the gesture.
I took the lead, Jenna and Eloka were in the middle, and Verquist was in the back. We walked up the stairs in an orderly fashion and into the hallway on the left. It was pitch black outside the window, but there were candles lit here and there, so visibility wasn't too bad.
It's a bit creepy, like a haunted house. Why is there no one here?
Jenna said, sounding a bit uncomfortable.
Go inside and find out.
When I passed the visible door, I touched it.
As expected, a transparent barrier blocked my path. There was no door to open.
It's a reconnaissance mission, like on the 6th floor, but the situation is different.
First of all, the size of the field was different.
We had him in the hallway for 15 minutes, and he was still there.
Eroka raised her voice.
Isn't this place really big? I will continue, but there will be no end.
Unique structure. The widths of the corridor and hallway do not match. It will look strange from the outside.
Please take a look. You are amazingly smart.
Verquist frowned.
Wizard, what did you say?
Oh, it's nothing!
Quiet. Please don't make noise.
The three fell silent.
After walking for another five minutes, the end of the hallway appeared.
The hallway is divided into three.
A normal mansion would not have a structure like this. There was no one there; nothing could be seen outside the window, not even darkness. This was no ordinary room.
Is it a labyrinth?
I sighed.
It seems we have been given a difficult mission.
