Chapter 398

Episode 398 Expedition (3)

To put it simply, the speedrun failed.

When we arrived at the destination, the portal to the second floor was already open and we couldn’t get the first opening achievement either.

I thought it wouldn’t work this time.

“How different from the previous team?”

“About 10 minutes.”

what 10 minutes?

In fact, the time we arrived was also a time when speedruns would have been possible if it had been in the game.

It feels like the overall level has gone up.

‘Still, if it’s 10 minutes… I’ll be able to if I increase my movement speed a bit more.’

When speedrun is stably possible, free experience points are accumulated for each exploration, so getting on that track is very important for training.

That Yongin woman must have requested individual activities as well.

‘Was that woman from La Vien going to succeed in the speed run?’

The last member of our team, Yongin tribe Lavien.

After participating in the inauguration ceremony, the woman left without enjoying the banquet and entered the labyrinth separately.

She said that moving alone is several times faster, and you can’t just meet her on the 6th floor anyway. That was the logic she

said …

clear way of thinking.

I felt the need to correct it, but unfortunately it failed due to the intervention of the Marquis.

Unlike the other members of the expedition, what kind of promise did you personally make?

While saying that, I won’t stop him from trying to control it, but he also asked me to refrain from the form of stamping and pressing.

To put it simply, it means don’t beat

anyone else …….

Of course, I do not intend to give up holding the reins just because the easy and comfortable means are blocked.

You have to fix your quirky hair so that the future will be comfortable.

in any way.

?Entered the 2nd floor Goblin Forest.?

?Entered the 3rd floor Pilgrim’s Path?

?Entered the 4th floor Tower in the Sky……?

Anyway, the exploration itself wasn’t difficult whether or not she was there, so it was a problem. The schedule went ahead as planned.

I went straight to the 4th floor quickly.

From the 4th floor, where it is impossible to avoid battle, they improved their understanding of each other by working together in actual battle.

As a result, we naturally had a lot of conversations.

“Hmm, it’s true that the three of us were living in the same house…….”

During the conversation, there were many such personal remarks, but no one said anything that would cross the line.

For example, asking if my relationship with Erwen was according to rumors.

Like wondering about the relationship with the Marquis.

Why could people like you remain unknown until now, and so on.

Old Didi showed curiosity about such things from time to time, but before he could say anything, he was cut off from the Wizard Ashed Sun.

“But maybe—”

“As I was watching the battle, Mr. Raines, I wondered, can clones use Auras?”

“No, that’s impossible.”

“Is that so? Looking at it, it seems that other abilities can be used even in double bodies. Since it’s such a rare essence, it’s been a while since I’ve had a passion for learning.”

At first I thought it was a coincidence, but now I’m sure.

This wizard blurs out the subject whenever old Diddy tries to bring up something uncomfortable.

‘That means he’s a very smart person.’

I don’t know why, but is it because he’s a male wizard?

When I see Riard Ashed, I keep thinking of Dwalkie.

Of course, unlike him, Ashed said everything in a soft voice and was much more sociable.

Should people’s temperaments be different?

He is quick-witted and much more mature.

But rather…

“Why do you look at me like that, Mr. Shuitz?”

“I didn’t see it.”

When you look at it, you suddenly think of it.

Lyall Warb Dwalkie.

If that guy had grown up over time, would he have felt this way?

***

?You have entered the 6th floor of the ocean.?

***

18th day after entering the labyrinth.

Except for the 4th floor, Lamia, the island of beginnings, was very quiet as it moved throughout the exploration period.

It’s a natural thing to do.

Now that we have arrived, how many people have come this far at this time?

A military reconnaissance team composed of quick-footed people.

The elite of a large clan awaiting the arrival of follow-ups.

And…….

“…….”

The other team of the expedition who thought about people’s gaze and only greeted each other from afar.

Hey, there are two teams that came before us.

The dwarf lady team was made up of veteran explorers, so I expected it, but I didn’t know that the 4th team, led by the paladin Jun, would be faster than us.

“…Ah, there he is.”

Anyway, thanks to the quietness, it was easy to find someone.

Yongin tribe Lavien.

A woman who became a member through a deal with the prime minister and a business colleague whose full name has not yet been heard.

“You guys rest here for a while.”

After waiting for the team members, I approached the woman sitting on a chair in the shade and staring blankly at the beach.

“It’s the 18th… You came earlier than I thought?”

As I approached, Lavien said without turning his head.

What is it, do you have eyes on the back of your head?

“The expedition’s assembly point would have been the eastern part of the island, right?”

“Anyway, the departure is on the 20th. Looking at it, it seems that the other teams that arrived earlier are just resting nearby.”

well it’s not like that

Actually, I had no intention of doing anything with this.

“When did you arrive?”

“Two days ago.”

“Two days ago…?”

…So you said you arrived on the 16th?

You said you came from the 1st floor to the 6th floor in almost 15 days?

Apart from not liking the individualistic team members, I had no choice but to admit one thing.

“…You deserve to say that you will move alone.”

At that speed, in fact, from the 1st floor to the 6th floor, everyone would have succeeded in speedrunning.

From this woman’s point of view, it’s understandable that she didn’t stand with us.

If you went with us, you would have had to give up 12 free experience points.

‘It would be more difficult to convince me if it was like this.’

trouble deepens

Forcing them to move together from the first floor just because they are a team makes me feel like an old man.

“Anyway, get up.”

“Why?”

“Didn’t we talk about being busy in the city?”

“great.”

I wondered what would happen if I just said that I would rest here until the rendezvous, but unexpectedly, Lavien readily accepted the offer and headed to the eastern part of the island where the rendezvous was located.

“Nice to meet you. This is the first time I’ve seen you at the founding ceremony, right?”

“I’m sorry about that. There were circumstances within the clan. From now on, I’ll make the most of my time in the city.”

“Then thank you. Can I call you Mr. Lavien from now on?”

“Yes. Please call me whatever you like. Mr. Ashed.”

A conversation that leads to a lot more comfortable than I thought.

“Can I call you Miss Labyen?”

Perhaps because he knew that the age of dragons was different from that of humans, Old Man Didi cautiously asked, and Lavien answered yes without much hesitation.

And…

“What about you two? How do I call them?”

Lavien turned to Amelia and Erwen.

“Emily or Raines, whatever you want.”

“I’ll take Mr. Raines.”

“I am Tersia.”

When Erwen drew a line in a harsh voice, Lavien looked at her with strange eyes and smiled.

“Okay, Mr. Tersia.”

Okay, so now the title arrangement is over…

‘……But why do we have to do the title arrangement on the 6th floor?’

Can we really see this as a team?

Even with such doubts, I got to the point.

“We matched the sum in the city and got to know each other while coming here together.”

“I see what you mean. You want to know about me too?”

“Because you need to know who you turn your back on.”

“all right.”

Afterwards, Ravien pulled out the sword she was wearing around her waist and demonstrated some of her skills, explaining what role she could play during the battle.

Looking at it, it seems like he didn’t say a few things…

Actually, it was a common occurrence in occupations other than magicians and priests, so there was nothing new about it.

“Then where can I stand when moving?”

“rear.”

“In battle?”

“Emily will do my left rear and you will do my right rear.”

“It’s classic.”

“Because we don’t know each other to do complicated things.”

Lavien smiled, assuming that the words contained bones.

“Are you going to keep doing that?”

“You didn’t say anything wrong, did you?”

Well, let’s just end the fight here.

After that, the magicians and the supernaturalists also went through the process of making Lavien understand about their positions.

It didn’t take long, but I was annoyed to watch.

Why should I do twice what I would have done once in the city?

Perhaps individualism is synonymous with inefficiency.

“You’re here.”

“The expedition leader came, but you can’t goofing around on the beach, can you?”

Before long, Aqurava’s team and Paladin’s team, which were resting on the shore, moved to the eastern part of the island where they had decided to rendezvous.

And how long has it passed?

“Team 3 has arrived now.”

Since it was the eastern part of the island, located a little higher up, the expedition team could be seen entering the 6th floor in real time.

It was a team headed by James Carla, vice-captain of the Geartooth Clan…

“That team is out of shape.”

“Looks like you’ve been speeding up even if you’re overdoing it.”

Psychology makes sense.

The date of assembly is the 20th, but if you are the latest among the team, you must have thought that would be a measure of skill.

This is also a kind of brawl.

‘This is not the Yuan Tang army.’

Competition within the group?

This is one of the tools of good leadership, but it will only work positively once you have a sense of belonging to the group. In the current situation, competing with each other is the best way to cause infighting.

‘How can I bring them together?’

As I was spending time thinking about what a leader would have no choice but to do, it was getting late.

Team 5… That is to say, it was at that time that the team led by Knight Kaislan arrived.

“damn……!”

The guy who came two days earlier than the scheduled date, but still clenched his fists in anger when he found out that he was in last place.

Huh, the regulator is broken again.

“What are you doing there? Come here quickly.”

“…Ah, I see.”

When I gestured, he flinched and came closer to me.

So, does getting angry just cause wrinkles?

Tuk-tuk.

I patted him on the shoulder as if to encourage him and then stood up using it as a support.

“There’s two more days left than planned, but since we’re all gathered, there’s no reason to waste time unnecessarily.”

“Oh my God, can you hear what mission we’re going to do now?”

“Ah, if that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to leave the other members behind?”

“It’s okay, it’s a story with nothing to hide anyway. Even if you’ve heard of it, it’s not like you can tell it elsewhere now.”

At my words, the crew members who had been watching with awkward expressions came closer to the center.

They wanted to be able to listen to it confidently because I had my permission.

“Now tell me. Only you, the expedition leader, know about this mission, what the hell are you trying to do?”

Through the swaying bonfire, I can see Aqlava’s curious eyes.

I hope the dwarves won’t sit in their chairs.

Look, I can’t see my face properly because of the bonfire. That’s right.

I

didn’t smoke too much. Anyway

, the important

thing is not this

. If the Noarks are coming to the Dark Continent via a portal, where is that area?” ”

Yes. If it has a starting point like the Crystal Cave, it will surely be used as a home base.” ”

Could it be that the royal family finally found out

where it was?

”

It’s not even the timing.

“Our mission is to attack their stronghold.”

In terms of class, it’s a mobile strike force.

Destroy the enemy’s key units or facilities while the main force is distracted on the battlefield.

“…that one There are some things I don’t understand. If that’s our mission, then why did we make the schedule so tight?” ”

By any chance, we’re trying to get ourselves through the gorge of the vengeful spirit?” ”

…That’s crazy! You can’t cross that gorge with a single boat unless you’re marching together with the main force!”

Heh, we haven’t finished talking yet.

The fact that the local broadcasting system turns on every time we say a word is a characteristic of the Tang Dynasty army. ..

Before the misunderstanding grows, I quickly said this:

“We do not cross the gorge of the vengeful spirit.”

“What? If you say you hit the base of the Dark Continent, what the hell is that……”

“This is the last warning. Don’t keep talking.”

“…….”

After that, it’s nice that it’s a bit quieter.

I explained our mission in detail in a calmer atmosphere

”

“

Ah

!

_ The land of.

Just as the four fields classified as 2nd floor all connect to the 3rd floor pilgrim’s path. The

7th floor also does not have only one Dark Continent

Go into the entrance and hit the back of the head of those who are not paying attention.”

It’s a mission like eating frozen cake. It ’s

Come out if you have one.”

“…….”

“It’s fortunate that there are no cowards.”

Still, the end will be sweet.
