YM778.TV Chapter 63
Surprisingly, we had never encountered a group of explorers while wandering aimlessly through the Witch’s Forest.
Considering the regional characteristics, it was possible to encounter them at least once
.
First of all, the witch’s forest is wide.
Also, since it is not used as a main hunting ground, the resident population itself is small.
Even we were wandering aimlessly, and we weren’t heading towards the center.
The chances of encountering them by chance are low.
‘Above all, it’s the time when all the people who will pass by this time have already passed by.’
Still, I thought there would be an influx of explorers who wanted to go to the 4th floor when it was time to close the 3rd floor.
It’s normal to look at things a little bit like that when you’re raising the number of floors.
‘Then, are they the ones who want to go up to the 4th floor now?’
Well, that seems likely.
Of course, that doesn’t mean you can trust them.
“A barbarian and a beastman? Are you sure it’s just the two of you?”
Just as I judged them as soon as I saw them, they also grasped us.
It must be amazing.
Not the first floor, not the second floor, but the third floor, and that’s a two-member team wandering around the witch’s forest.
The man who appeared to be the leader of the five-member team came to a conclusion.
“…Have you guys fallen from the team?”
“Yes.”
I readily admitted
Bragging is good, but it’s only when you have the guts to work on it.
Saying no like this in the first place would only make it seem strange, and what would you gain by insisting on saying no?
Of course, apart from acknowledging it, you have to be careful.
“Ah! Bjorn! Could it be that we just bought it?”
“Stay still.”
Misha, who was already making a fuss, was pushed back and blocked the way.
Then, he quietly lifted his shield.
“Don’t be too wary. We’re not bad people.”
A middle-aged human woman stepped up from the other side and smiled warmly at my actions, but…
“There are sons and daughters like all of you in the city. I know what you’re worried about, but don’t do that. You must be tired. Come here—” “I
refuse. ”
Do you have sons and daughters?
So what do you mean?
Rather, it seems more dangerous.
Doesn’t it mean that having children to feed means that the motive to earn money is clearer?
“What’s wrong with Bjorn. They might be able to help us…”
“Be quiet.”
How would you behave if you met an explorer?
I’ve been thinking a lot about this part for a long time.
The conclusion at that time was to ask for help.
It would be a reasonable deal for them if they promised a certain amount of compensation and only asked to be taken out of the forest.
But…
‘To make a deal, I should at least know what kind of people they are.’
Verification comes first.
“I am Bjorn, the son of Yandel.”
“You’re a wary friend. It’s Hans Stobra. He plays the role of a searcher in the team.”
When I revealed my name, the leader of the other side came out and responded with a full statement.
But the problem is…
“His name is… Hans?”
“Haha, isn’t that a common name?”
“That’s right.”
Why are there so many Hans in the world?
First of all, 1 point is deducted for the wrong name.
“My name is Anuman Beit. In the city, my husband and I run a grocery store—”
The woman who was reciting personal information just cut off her words.
“There’s no need for that.”
There is no way to confirm whether that statement is true in the labyrinth, and we do not have much time.
To get help or not.
Whichever option you choose, you must decide quickly.
‘Two warriors, two archers, and one explorer.’
I quickly scanned them up and down to check their facial expressions, tone of voice, etc. in addition to their approximate history.
Of course, there is no need to examine them closely one by one.
Sometimes intuition makes more accurate decisions than ever.
Experience and data accumulated and accumulated in the unconscious.
“Misha.”
Eventually I made a decision.
There is no guarantee that this is the correct answer…
“Will you follow my decision?”
Long words were not necessary.
Missha gave a short answer to my question, which omitted a lot.
“Of course.”
Okay, once we got consent.
“Enough of the introduction, we’ll go.”
“You want to go? Didn’t you guys need our help?”
That’s because somehow my instincts are screaming that you’re in danger.
“Come to think of it, I don’t think it’s necessary. Now Misha, let’s go.”
“Oh, I see!”
“Hmm, if that’s the case with you. There’s no reason to stop it. Let’s go.”
Okay, then I’ll ask for your understanding.
Covering her body with her shield, she slowly backed away with her eyes still on her opponent.
That was the moment.
Whii Iik-!
A familiar booming sound was heard.
And the body reacted before the brain judged.
Whiik-!
At the same time as he bent his neck to the side, an arrow grazed the side of his ear.
what the fuck did you do?
The direction from which it flew is the back.
The youngsters who shot the arrows must be in front.
“Mr. Bate, what are you doing!”
One of the party on the other side shouts something while looking at the archer.
Wasn’t it mutually agreed upon?
The lady who said she had only one son and daughter like us didn’t talk softly anymore.
“You idiots! Haven’t you seen the equipment he has? It’s made of titanium! Do you know how much it will cost if you sell it?”
“I’m still the same explorer…”
“Kid, if you can’t do it, get out of here. See that backpack over there? It’s an expandable backpack. You can’t live without it even if you lose your bones for a year.”
Was it true that I was running a general store with my husband?
This lady has good eyesight.
I didn’t even have the guts to praise.
“I can’t.”
“Then let’s say those who fall out fall out.”
“I’ll join. It’s not the first time this has happened. Things aren’t good enough to pass the money rolling around.”
An agreement is quickly reached among those who were originally explorers.
I watched it closely.
Misha anxiously grabbed my collar.
“By Bjorn… Shouldn’t we run away?”
“wait.”
There is a seeker over there.
Even if you run away like this, you won’t get far.
‘It’s time to come soon…’
“I’m going to kill you…
”
I smiled bitterly.
Whether it’s porridge or rice, the only reason I tried to make a quick decision.
When Canivaro emerges from the darkness, the group of explorers who were trying to target us startle.
“Ca Canivaro?”
“Why are there two of them at the same time……”
Yes, we are on the 8th day of distress.
You may have just entered, but we have already reached the 10th stage of [Witch’s Eye].
“Misha is now.”
I hugged Misha with one hand.
Then, holding a shield in the other hand, he charged forward instead of backward.
“Canivaro has cast [Pursuit Arrow].”
“Canivaro has cast [Pursuit Arrow].”
On the right side, you can see Canivaro putting an arrow on the string.
The more I did, the more I spurred on and dashed forward.
Whit-!
Eventually, the barbarian’s torso vision recognizes that two arrows have been fired simultaneously.
But there was no need to worry about the empty back.
Now there are things to block them.
“Ah ah! Stop it!”
“What are these guys doing!”
As soon as the barbarian’s ignorant power pushes the opponent’s group and digs in, a scream is heard from the side.
It’s from a kid who said he couldn’t sleep.
“Oops!”
oh well you were right
Originally, good people go early.
Kwak-kwang-!
“Oops! Fuck my feet!!”
As if biting tail after tail, an explosion sounded in the direction of Cannivaro.
Upon closer inspection, it seems that Hans D, who was flustered by my rush and opened up the distance, accidentally stepped on the magic mine.
“Mr. Stove!!”
okay.
At this point, it seems that aggro has completely gone over there.
“Misha, now you run.”
“I see.”
I set down the Misha I was holding.
And I ran forward without looking back.
“Everyone, what are you doing! It’s enough for those guys, so let’s deal with the monsters first!”
I won’t be able to keep up with this for a while.
***
[Dungeon and Stone] is a roguelike game.
If you die once, that’s it.
The character disappears.
Of course, it’s just a game after all. The main content of this
game
is to go to a higher floor with the information learned in the previous round in the first place.
In [Dungeon and Stone], death is like everyday life.
But what if the world in the game was real?
Character regeneration is not possible.
Whatever you have seen, heard, or learned in this life will be meaningless the moment you die.
And in that sense.
“But how the hell did you know Bjorn? I thought they would…”
“It’s a feeling.”
I was lucky this time.
The correct answer was to follow the judgment made by the unconsciousness of the moment.
Realizing the truth, Misha was astonished.
“…Persimmon?”
Somehow, earlier, he said he would follow my words without asking any questions.
It seemed that there must be some obvious reason.
“Isn’t the captain’s name Hans?”
“Is that so?”
“I hate that name.”
“…….”
“Anyway, thanks to you, I escaped safely, so isn’t it a good thing?”
“That’s true…….”
Misha, who was blurring her words with a slightly embarrassed expression, changed the subject.
“Anyway, I never dreamed that that kind-looking lady would change so suddenly…….”
Misha shudders weakly, perhaps thinking of the lady who screamed fiercely at us.
Ajumma’s quick change of attitude seems to have come as quite a shock to him.
I don’t know if it’s comforting, but I said briefly.
“Maybe he was a really nice person.”
“huh? What does that mean—”
“If only we hadn’t looked weak.”
And if we hadn’t had expensive possessions.
If only we had met in a city, not a labyrinth.
She might have been remembered as a kind person.
But she “I don’t understand why you weren’t kind because you looked weak…” ”
Misha,
why did you enter the labyrinth?”
“So you have to make money… …..”
“They are the same.”
Money is a means to protect oneself,
especially in a world where people face death penalty for not paying taxes.
She must have had many other things to protect besides her own life.
” …It seems like you’ve learned a lot from this expedition.”
“Then move faster. They might come after us.”
Increased the movement speed
. And how
long has passed. ‘ No
matter how much I started with the first attack, I wouldn’t have been beaten by both of them with Caniba… Did something else happen?’
Well, I think it’s reasonable to think so.
Maybe Hans, who stepped on the magic mine.
In other words, he, the searcher, was seriously injured, so the pursuit was hindered. Anyway, the
reason is that one crisis was safely passed.
‘Please, this is the end. I wish it was.’
Even though I hoped so, I got my head together.
Let’s not let go of our minds until the end.
As always.
The worst thing comes when you’re not paying attention.
***
The 13th day of distress.
The time is 7:00 PM
. Exactly 53 hours left before closing.
“I found Bjorn!”
We found a tree leading to the cabin.
Seeing that the light coming out was slightly faded, it seemed that quite some time had passed since the entrance was formed… ..
This is somewhere.
‘It’s okay.’
The worst situation was somehow avoided.
Even if you can only rest for four hours, how can you survive the remaining two days with your mental strength. In
a word, the possibility of returning safely has increased dramatically.
“The character enters the witch’s hut.
” Every second of rest was precious, so I put my hands on it and went straight into the cabin. The
scenery beyond was the same as before. The scent of
grass and flowers that I could smell full of.
The quiet sound of grass insects.
The sound of the wind blowing leaves.
‘Nimiral… …..’
Sadly, there was something foreign in the peaceful scenery.
「Current number of visitors: 5」
「The entrance will be closed.」
Passengers.
In other words, those who discovered this cabin before us.
“Bjorn.
” Shh.”
I covered Misha’s mouth and quickly surveyed the surroundings with only my eyes.
‘One on the bed, one on the chair, one on the lawn.’
There were some places in the room that I checked through the window that couldn’t be seen from an angle, but…
For now, it would be correct to say that
there were a total of three people
.
I slowly approached the man who was sleeping on the grass.
And at that moment,
as if he was talking in his sleep, the man turned his back and turned to
us
. ..’
It was a surprisingly familiar face.
