Chapter 669: New World (4)
The situation we are currently facing is very simple…
Exciting!
Obtained information on the location of the dimensional tombstone from an acquaintance(?) of Rek Aures whom I met outside the castle walls.
After discovering the dimensional tombstone, I took a quick trip through the portal, saying I would go there once and then come back if I thought it wasn’t right…
And… ·
“To put it simply, that bastard tried to soak us?”
Daylan, an acquaintance of Reck Aures, evaporates somewhere as soon as he crosses the portal. The
dimensional tombstone needed to return to his original place is nowhere to be seen.
That means the way to return is blocked…
“Is your name Daylan? Was it Daylan?”
There isn’t much information about Daylan…
It’s not clear if it’s really ‘Daylan’, and all we know in the first place is that it’s a ‘very, very common name’ from Noark… Wow
…
My grip tightened without me even realizing it. Entering…
I still don’t know if the guy’s name is really ‘it’… but
if it really is ‘it’…
is it ‘L…’
It’ll be the ‘it’ I’ve met for the first time in a very long time…
Excited!
From now on, you have to stay alert…
Only then can you get through this crisis safely… Therefore,
in that sense…
“He obviously hasn’t run far yet…”
“Stop moving…”
He’s ready to run out to find the missing guy at any moment. Lee Baek-ho stops…
“···?”
When I lower my voice and speak as if giving a command, Lee Baek-ho makes a puzzled expression.
However, I can’t help it even if he seems too serious.
My heart flutters!
I really started to feel like this situation was dangerous…
“Don’t move rashly… First thing first is finding out where this place is…”
This is my principle when playing [Dungeons & Stones]… When
I entered for the first time, In an unfamiliar place, you have to be wary of all these things…
Even though you were so careful, it was common to fail on your first try…
Anyway…
“Habellion Briott… First, check if there are any monsters or traps around…”
First, check with the GM and archer. I give instructions and detect the surroundings magically and physically…
“Nothing…”
“Nothing has been detected yet…”
Okay, that’s right… Tap
… Tap…
I walked up to the wall and tapped the outer wall of the cave with my hand, and there was a dull sound. Only the sound echoes softly…
‘It seems like there is no empty space beyond…’
Sigh…
Soon, I carefully remove my feet from the ground and step forward…
‘Mud…’
The floor of the cave as if there was a landslide on a rainy day. There’s a lot of muddy mud hanging around…
There doesn’t seem to be any movement speed reduction or other special effects…
But the problem is…
“We need to get out of here first…”
“… Right? Once you follow the path, you might find something—·”
“If you’re not careful, the entire cave could be flooded…”
“Huh?”
Looking at Lee Baek-ho, who tilted his head, I pointed to the walls and ceiling of the cave.
“Look, there are still traces of being filled with water.”
“Oh, there really are traces like that!”
“But that doesn’t seem like too much of a leap to be submerged in the water right now… I just have to get out before then, right?”
Why is this guy so positive?
“Do you know how long this cave is? What if you have to walk for three days and nights to finally find an exit? What if it turns into a maze-like structure in the middle and you have to wander around for a long time?”
“···So shouldn’t we move quickly?”
Um… That’s right…
But before that,
let’s do this first… “Let’s start with a new formation…”
“What about the formation…?”
“Even in this situation, it is dangerous to move in two groups… In a place like this where both sides are blocked, even if you only form a good formation, you can eat more than half of the space…” Up
until now, we moved together, but GM and I felt like we were left out, unable to mix in Lee Baek-ho’s team.
But from now on, That’s not possible…
“Habellion Ruingenes Jaina… From now on, you three will move from the safest center…”
First, place key personnel in the center…
“Rek Aures… You follow from behind… In case the enemy appears from behind… “
“Haha, that’s right! “Leave the rest to me!”
The auxiliary tank is placed at the rear.
In such a narrow passage-type map, you have to be most careful with your back.
Anyway, I can cover
the front alone. · When a battle breaks out, you can go further back, but before that, you have to detect, so stick to the front as much as possible · Do you understand?”
“Yes… I understand what you mean…”
Huh… Well, the basic layout is now over… Let’s move on…
“Baron?”
As soon as the personnel deployment is over, Lee Baek-ho approaches me as if he has something to say.
“But there are a lot more people on my team, but I have to give the orders…”
Oh, that’s what he was dissatisfied with.
“Besides, the Baron has never been outside the castle walls before.” This is your first time, right? In many ways, it’s better to just do what I say and follow my lead—·”
So, are you doing it on your own?
Do you want to take the wheel because you want to?
“Lee Baek-ho, the situation is different from back then…”
This is not just outside the castle walls…
If that were the case, I would have followed Lee Baek-ho’s judgment with more information as I have done up to now…
But…
“What’s different?”
This time, there is a very crucial difference·
“Isn’t this your first time here too·”
The place where the whole group entered for the first time·
Even my instincts are telling me that this place is very dangerous·
But you’re telling me to leave the steering wheel to him?
“We have no information about this place, and we don’t know what variables may arise as a result… And in a place like this, every moment of judgment is very important…” “
···So?”
“In times like this, leave it to the right person…”
It was just a euphemism(?) expression, but in the end, it meant that I could make a more correct decision than you.
Naturally, Lee Baek-ho did not look convinced.
“The right person…? “The Baron?”
Lee Baek-ho stared at me with astonished eyes.
I didn’t avoid my gaze either.
“Why do you think it’s not true?”
“Yes… I don’t think so…”
I burst out laughing as I saw Lee Baek-ho answer immediately without a moment of hesitation…
To be honest, I couldn’t understand why Lee Baek-ho was being so
picky. Isn’t that obvious to anyone?
After putting in all kinds of hardships, I do it every day. At night, while organizing the data and researching the field, I opened the door to the abyss in the original mode.
And Lee Baek-ho, a retired soldier who would never have come to this world if it weren’t for the cheat board.
Which of the two is the right person? I
hesitated… Soon,
I asked Baek-ho Lee. He took a step closer and calmly recited,
“I will ask you one last question, Lee Baek-ho…”
“····”
“Do you really think you are the right person?” Surprisingly
,
this time, there was no immediate answer like before…
That’s why I was also stabbed…
I realized that there was a clear difference between me and myself for me to answer with confidence…
Soon, Lee Baek-ho avoided his gaze and shrugged his shoulders.
“···Okay. Let’s give it a try. He is the most famous explorer in Lapdonia. Why not take this opportunity to test his skills?”
It must have been like that a long time ago.
***
Ranking order After the agreement, which was extremely peaceful to say the least, was over… As we started moving in earnest, we heard a whispering voice coming from behind us…
“What on earth is Baron Yandel…? That Lee Baek-ho is losing momentum…
I was surprised too… I never thought that Lee Baek-ho would turn around and back down…”
GM quietly whispers his answer to Aures’ words…
But that’s just it. There was nothing that wouldn’t reach Baekho Lee’s ears.
“Huh! What kind of snake am I? When will I curl my tail? “I’m just curious about how confident you are!”
“···Ahaha·”
“White tiger! “I didn’t say anything!”
When Lee Baek-ho got irritated, the two of them kept their mouths shut as if
they had never done anything like that… It was funny, but they gave him a warning for now…
“Be quiet… Even if nothing happens right now, there’s no guarantee that it will be like that forever…”
“That’s right!”
Why are all the people who claim to be top-tier explorers so petty?
It would be great if everyone were like Amelia.
It’s clear that whatever they do will be the most efficient.
“It’s subtle, but I can feel the wind. Fortunately, the exit seems to be close by. “I
walk like that for about 20 minutes when the archer, Briatt, said something like that, and it wasn’t long before the exit appeared…
“It’s dark…”
It wasn’t said that the view was better outside the cave…
Labyrinth It’s so dark outside that it reminds me of…
“It’s still night time, right? When the sun rises later, you’ll be able to see something…”
Baekho Lee seemed to ignore it, but I thought differently…
“…I guess it’s not just dark because it’s night…”
“Huh?”
“Look… the light isn’t spreading far… like a labyrinth
…”
Lee Baek-ho, who seems to have realized the strangeness of the darkness only then, frowns…
“Uh… but then there is a possibility that this is a labyrinth?”
“Well… we’ll have to find out about that in the future…”
“Okay… I’ll just trust the Baron… Since you said you took care of everything, right?”
···What kind of elementary school student is this?
Since he came to this world much earlier than me, his actual mental age must be higher than mine…
“Okay, I’ll take care of it, so just be quiet…”
Immediately, Lee Baek-ho puts his index finger to his mouth and closes his mouth with an expression he doesn’t like…
Of course, no matter what, I was focused on my job.
So, I passed one field and came to a new field, right?
Of course, we have to start by searching the surrounding area…
“I can’t see any water…”
Contrary to my expectation that there would be a river or lake near the cave, nothing was found when I searched around Amman… So
why is there water inside the cave? ·
It didn’t seem like the water would accumulate there
just because it rained… ‘There must be some other reason…’ While
thinking about the reason carefully, I continued to search…
The entrance to the cave. I made a brief map by making a big circle around the center, and also stamped the coordinates at the entrance of the cave so I could get there anytime and anywhere…
And how long has it been?…
“What is the current time in Havellion?”
“9:18… Even if the sun rises, it would have risen a long time ago…”
“Yes, that’s right…”
Even though a long time has passed, there is no sign of the surroundings getting brighter…
Therefore…
“This is the ‘castle wall’ There is a higher possibility that it is not ‘outside’…”
“Does this mean… it is inside the labyrinth?”
“Well, there’s no way that’s possible…”
No one said that my words were a leap or a delusion.
That’s true. In reality, Auril Gavis had a history of opening a portal to the labyrinth using a dimensional stone outside the castle walls— ·
“Baron, take a look at this!”
At that time, Archer Bryant called me. As I
quickly approached, an artificial structure that was not visible from where I was standing came into view.
“···Monument?”
Of course, the tombstone that Bryant discovered was a completely different type of dimensional tombstone.
Should I say it was a large structure similar in shape to the ‘monument’ in the crystal cave on the first floor?
“Can you read Havellion?”
“No, this is completely the first letter I’ve seen…”
The tombstone was engraved with letters close to hieroglyphs that looked like drawings, and even I, who had the ability to interpret ancient languages, couldn’t read them. “
Just start investigating… There’s something magical about it.” Because it could be a structure…”
“Yes, I understand…”
After leaving the investigation of the monument to the GM and Grandfather of Destruction, I checked the map I was making one more time… It
was a forest area with no special features except that huge craters were found here and there. ·
‘It might be more efficient to slowly decide on a direction and move straight to one place…’
It was a time when I was thinking about the next plan and waiting for the tombstone study to be completed…
Flash-!
For a moment, the whole world seemed to glow white…
Kwakwakwaaaaaaaaa!!
A huge sound of thunder, as if the sky is collapsing, covers the world…
and…
sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssswaopingly sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssk respectively, and…
Heavy rain begins to fall…
Well, if you look at it up to this point, you might think it’s just an extreme field with rough weather…
[Kyeeeeeek-!!]
Coincidentally, at the same time as the abnormal weather started, a monster appeared…
“Over there. ! A monster is running from over there…!”
The first monster I encountered after moving here…
Fortunately, it wasn’t a new type of monster I had never seen before…
Well, I don’t know if I can call this fortunate…
“Brachiaistello! It’s a grade 5 beast type monster that uses telekinesis and water-type abilities. !”
The GM suddenly stands up and shouts as if giving a briefing upon seeing the monster.
There wasn’t any wrong information in the GM’s explanation.
But unfortunately, the most important thing was missing.
Brachiaistello.
Although this guy is only a level 5 mob…
“No stars.” Tomb…”
Appears only on the 9th floor…
