Chapter 17 – Our Sunbae-nim Did This? (1)
Artpe headed down the stair leading towards the 35th floorHe grinded his teeth as the Dungeon sha
“What kind of Dungeon is this!?”
“Aren’t all Dungeons like this, Artpe?”
Maetel’s innocent eyes shone as she asked the questionShe had drawn the short end of the stick by coeonHowever, she didn’t have the proper perspective to know any betterShe didn’t get tired of this place, and she didn’t coeon explorer…
“M to say is…”
Artpe couldn’t tell if this was a good thing or notTherefore, he evaded giving an answer by stroking her headIn turn, Maetel’s eyes narrowed in pleasure as if she was a catMycenae had left behind her cart to look at theentle look in her eyes as she spoke
“It looks as if you are training an animal, customer”
“Shut upI want 245 gold”
“You said you’ll sell it to o!?”
“The price on ite onrudeLet’s see…Right now it should be 247…”
“Two hundred forty five gold!I’ll buy it!”
At this rate, Mycenae knew the price ht increase further, so she quickly pushed the money towards him
“Here”
“Koo-ooooooooooh”
Artpe grinned as he handed her the iteic to check the iteroan
“KookAs expected, it is a really good weapon…Your ability to price an item is really uncannyIt makes me want to recruit you into the Anywhere company”
“You won’t steal Artpe away from me, ajumma!”
“I’m really not an ajumma!”
Maetel, who had been standing there like a lamb, quickly hid Artpe behind herThen she bared her teeth towards MycenaeItor some form of an animal in her previous lifeArtpe patted Maetel, as seriously worried
“Even if I wanted to go, I won’t be able toDon’t worry about itAnyways, if you sell that item to anyone, you’ll be unable to handle the aftermathBe careful”
The identity of the artifact handed over to Mycenae was a Blood Gold Halberd, which held the curse of madness
It accelerated the destruction of the user’s mind as a powerful downside, but the weapon would all one to destroy all enemies and allies alike
However, Maetel already had control over her Berserk skill, so it was a useless weapon for herMoreover, the weapon was too heavy for Artpe to wield
Still, it would be an attractive option to most adventurers or mercenariesThe weapon would lead the user down a path of destruction, yet ambition made people take up such weaponsIt was a trait inherent in all humans
“Hoo hooAs a h priceIt is beyond my province to determine, who becomes the owner of an item”
“You are an unscrupulous trader”
Artpe let out a bitter laugh as he took out 100 gold from his pouch, and he pushed it towards MycenaeShe already knehat he would ask forMycenae didn’t give a reply as she took the moneyThen she prepared the potions, water and ration
In the past year, she had appeared each time they moved onto the next floorShe monopolized the trade with them as they moved from the 6th floor to the 34th floorThis type of trade was almost automatic
“Excuse me, customer”
She put together iteold with no frillsMycenae asked a question as she divided the items between Artpe and Maetel
“What is the identity of this Dungeon?Why does it continue to go on like this?Does it perhaps have a tunnel leading to the demon world at the end?”
“We are exploring this place to find that answer”
“You aren’t able to co your ability?”
Mycenae had a truly surprised expression on her faceArtpe snorted
“I think you have too high of an opinion in regards to my ability”
“As the nu out are increasingly to eon goes on for another 100 floors…Still, it is clear that this Dungeon wasn’t forht?”
“Yes”
Artpe’s nodded his head in a self-possessedto the 35th floor
Ghouls that were around 2 levels higher than the ones on the 34th floor was probably waiting for thele juht show up
“This Dungeon was created by sooal in mindIt is true and definite that the two of us aren’t challengers that are cooal”
“Norain soeonIf you want such a research done, I can do it for youI’ll gladly accept a coion…”
“I’ll see you later, ajumma”
“I knew you will answer in such a way”
Mycenae grumbled as she went awayShe notched another loss to hiside the light
However, after he sent her away, her words ain
‘The history of this region……?’
According to his knowledge, this region here the hero was bornThere hadn’t been anything specialIt was a place where there was a normal town near themuch had occurred here
On the other hand, how could there be nothing here?Even now, he was in a strange Dungeon that was made by someone
Maybe, this place was hidden?What if this place was shi+elded fro?
In the past, the hero hadn’t wanted to desecrate a grave, because she was raised properly by her familyIt could have also been the fact that she was quickly sent packing to the royal palace as if she was solass statueIn the end, she hadn’t discovered this placeWas there some enormous secret hidden here?
‘What happened here in the past?Did sonificance happen here?’
He had no way of finding outEven if Artpe had the Read All Creation ability, he couldn’t see into the past to a time when he wasn’t aliveIt was impossible
On the other hand, if such a thing was possible…
“Artpe…?”
“…it’s nothing”
Maetel was looking at his face with a worried look in her eyesArtpe shook his head to dislodge such thoughts, and he answered herUnexpectedly, Maetel looked slightly wistful
“Your face was incredibly serious and dashi+ng”
“Hainst the Four Heavenly Kings of the De’s army”
This hy such words worked on hih as he tried to hide the fullness he felt within his heart
He didn’t knoould appear in front of the that couldn’t be confirmed unless one saith one’s eyesHe also knew that priority of this Dungeon had changed when he found out how the Dungeon was structured
