Chapter 91
Chapter 91
People can’t tell just by looking at the outside.
Well, sometimes there are people who say they know when they pretend to, but usually they don’t.
It is a very common and insignificant fact that you can only know the true value of a person if you continue to have conversations or activities with him.
And yet, we often inadvertently forget that fact. Just like me right now.
It was me who looked coldly at the three beaters who were mere burdens even before entering the dungeon. I never expected that they would give me so much pleasure.
It’s an unexpected pleasure, so it’s a plus that there’s no more fun than anything else.
“Yo, warrior! Help me!”
“Ooh, oooh! Die monster!!”
“Aaaagh!”
They didn’t even have weapons, so in the end, the guys who followed us with swords and shields prepared in advance by the academy were engaged in a bloody battle with the goblins.
I think it’s only goblins after setting the difficulty level to the level, but if it’s a group of over 20 goblins, the story is a little different. Of course, even if that were the case, if there were 5 party members, the difficulty would be at the level of the junior level at best.
So, the academy has designated the place where we will be transferred to as the goblins’ dwelling place.
As soon as the movement was completed, the situation of a group of goblins suddenly appearing in front of them could be said to be a level of difficulty.
Of course, Zeke and I killed all but three. However, since those guys are singing like that while having a one-on-one interview with the remaining three, how can it not be funny?
It’s a pity that there is no popcorn.
“Look how he fell behind his ass! Are you courting a goblin! Aren’t you standing upright?”
“Sah, save me!”
“If I die from that thing, even if I become a soul, I’ll have to sell myself and die one more time dude! I’ll break my head! Stop it!”
I didn’t do this with the intention that the hero and I would overwhelm them. Rather, it’s just helping them to be less embarrassing than particulates by showing them a little bit of fighting. Otherwise, wouldn’t there be no way to play such a silly game in a situation where you have to get to the center before the other groups and get a token or something?
The process is just terrifyingly funny.
“You’ve got a great grip on the sword once. Why did you pack a long sword with an alternative shield with that kind of strength?”
“The shortsword must have looked awkward because it was just a superficial look.”
Sitting amicably on a pile of stones, collecting appropriately sized stones around them, and throwing them one by one to support them if they were in danger was what Zeke and I were doing now.
Because even the basics were not established, even I could predict that a crisis would come to them two steps ahead. could move
Fuck! And the stone thrown by Zeke hits the goblin in the eye.
Thanks to this, the Goblin, who was trying to stomp the instep of the envoy from the Mountain Kingdom by clumsily lifting his waist high, had to grab his face without completing his purpose.
“Are you fighting an orc, you bastard! Don’t lower your knees and waist? Is that a tower shield you’re holding? A round shield?”
“Hehehe. Hehe…!”
“Hey, Mojiri bastards really.”
Although he spits harsh words out of his mouth, Zeke was also enjoying this situation. After fighting desperately for another 10 minutes, the three guys who defeated the goblins were haggard like soldiers who had fought for three days and nights.
Of course, in our eyes, it’s really the same, it’s ugly, and it’s a sigh. I would have never dreamed that I would end up going through such hardships.
“If anyone sees it, it’s been a week since I entered the dungeon. What kind of confidence did you apply for?”
The envoy’s participation is completely voluntary, so it is not even a matter of self-cult. Knowing that, they only had tears in their eyes and gasped for breath without even being able to refute.
“Don’t forget that tension and follow me well. Keep your guard upright.”
“Joe, can’t we take a break and go?”
“If you rest your body right now, it will spread and you won’t be able to wake up. If you want to tear up the return scroll and give up, then it won’t stop you.”
If you say that you participated vigorously in the yard where you failed to win favor with Zeke, but gave up and jumped out after less than an hour, they would really like it in their kingdom. Without saying a word, they started moving after me and Zeke.
“It doesn’t feel artificial. Does it take time to create a natural ecosystem?”
“Well. I know it was made by a professional wizard. I’m not sure about that either. But as you said, it’s true that it doesn’t smell artificial at all.
” It would be correct to assume that you understand. Since that meant maintaining and repairing the facility after all, there was a high possibility that traps that would easily break if not managed were installed.
“There may be floor traps, so I’ll take the lead.”
“Oh, do you even know how to do that? That’s great.”
“Because I had a lot of time to learn.”
This is the body that has been learning compression training from professional instructor Asilie for about 6 years. It’s on a different level than halfway adventurers.
After considering the surrounding environment and the students’ classes, I began to act after sorting out expected pitfalls.
result? What can I say? Of course, he boasted a 100% hit rate and drew Zeke’s admiration.
“This is very helpful knowledge? After all, scouting is important. We don’t have scouting, so we’re weak in this area.”
“Hero’s party? Aren’t there elves too?”
“He’s a magic swordsman. He can’t shoot a bow.”
“No, does an elf who can’t shoot a bow make sense?”
Sounds like a blacksmith who can’t hold a hammer? However, there was no joke or lies in Zeke’s expression.
“It’s quiet at school, but it’s so messy. I’m still young by the standards of elves, so I only learned swords and magic in groups in my hometown. They said they couldn’t use the bow because it was frustrating.”
“It’s really staggering. Shouldn’t we ask the Empire to find at least one person for later?”
“What are you doing? Here you are.”
He tried to pat me on the back with a trustworthy smile, so I hurriedly avoided my body and expressed my intention to refuse.
“The hardships are clear, but do you think you’re crazy? Don’t even dream about it.”
“Anyway, your goal is also hard work, but wouldn’t it be faster if you go with us?”
“Do you know when the hero will go to the front line and wait for it? Even if it’s only next year, I’m going to get a wandering knight award right away and then I’m going to look for the traces of those things.”
“Ohhh. That’s right.”
I felt strongly that I had made a mistake at Zeke’s reaction, which suddenly flashed in my eyes, but I was able to move to the center without any special incident. In between, they found traces of a couple of orcs or an isolated group of gnolls, but since there was no reason to fight in the first place, they avoided them and moved.
Although I’m breaking through the road, it’s actually no different from a cheat key. I can confirm that what I learned from Asilie works well anytime, anywhere, so it’s not bad for me, but it’s a bit disappointing that it ends too blandly.
Still, it seems like it’s being broadcast live like a hologram through that crystal ball, but it’s clear that we’re going to be boring to them.
“It sounds like a fight.”
So while we were calm and the three loads were moving, holding our breaths in extreme tension, we could faintly hear the sound of weapons clashing somewhere in the distance.
“Is it a monster or a person?”
“If you’re in the woods, you might be able to tell, but I’m human too, so it’s hard to tell them apart here.”
The interior, such as a dungeon or cave, is too reverberant. Elves and dwarves can easily tell them apart, but I can’t go that far.
“It’s a road that will eventually pass. What are you going to do?”
“Do you have a choice?”
“There is an option to run and ambush an opponent who is in the midst of an engagement, or to wait until there is a sign that the engagement is over before approaching and ambush them.”
“I think the latter would be quite fun, but would you like to come up with a terrain worth hiding and observing?”
“Then, let’s go until we get close, and if the terrain is good, we’ll take a look, and if it’s not, then we’ll run into it?”
“I like that. Let’s go!”
As expected, I can’t stand the spectacle of fighting and the blinding.
Besides, it could be that it’s not a battle of masters, but a fight of lower ranks who are less skilled than us? You can be sure that it will be a fun spectacle that makes you want to sell your soul to bring even the popcorn you don’t have.
Zeke seemed to have similar sensibilities to me in that respect, and with a smile, he lowered his body as low as possible and followed me toward the place where the noise was coming from.
As the sound got closer and closer, it became clear that it was a human-to-human battle, and when our anticipation was at its peak, we sensed that a battle was taking place beyond the wall blocking our way.
“Ha. It’s a shame. There’s no room to sneak in, doesn’t it?”
Zeke, who was looking around with me, worried that the battle would end in the meantime, asked in disappointment. And, sadly, I had to come to the same conclusion.
“Anyway, things like this don’t always work the way you want. Can you break through this wall?”
“Should I crush it or would it crumble into powder?”
As expected of a person who is also proficient in magic, I answered confidently as I drew my sword towards him who showed a confident attitude.
“Of course, I have to let it smash enough to get hit by the splinter.”
“Yes. If you want to surprise, you have to do that.”
Zeke showed his teeth and laughed, then pulled out his sword, so I smiled as well and corrected my posture.
Because surprise is always right.
