Chapter 139 00139 End of exercise (1/2)
The morning dawned. It was a new day of exploration. The ruins to be excavated this time. It took at least three weeks to prepare the caravan. When I opened the door of the Inn, a cool breeze and clear air welcomed me. I closed my eyes for a moment and drank all that fresh air. I felt like my whole body was warming up.
“Wow, what a beautiful day. It's a great day for a trip. ”
As I turned, I saw Ha-yeon coming out of the door touching her hair texture. She carries a little backpack on her shoulder. It was an exploratory suitcase, but this was a new one. As long as it lasted, they were good backpacks, and I bought four guns and left them with the wizards and priests. (Proximity clans did not give you backpacks because they could get caught in battle.)
Seeing her with a fresh smile, I also smiled softly.
“In a way, this is like a journey. There are many scenic spots in Hall Plain as well. ”
“Haha, I don't want to go on a life-threatening journey. ”
A beautifully colored necklace hangs around her neck. It must have been the Necklace Of Glory from the Ruins Lab the other day. You're curious about what magic you used to memorize, but you keep your mouth shut when you see the group coming out of the rope. T ran sla t ed b y Jpmtl .c o m
The children also came down armed with armor from the lab. In particular, Ahn Hyun and Yi Jeong were showing very different appearance from when they first came to Mule. At that time, if it was a chick that was embarrassing to be called a user, it now felt like a novice user was naked. Of course, I was proud to think that they were my children, even though they were only apparent.
“Ugh. I love wearing these gloves. The spear looks like it could use a hand. ”
I expressed my satisfaction by swinging my usual heavy window through the roof. Glove Of Reduction. It doesn't increase my actual strength, but I'm sure it's a very useful piece of equipment. I slowly look over Ahn Hyun, who is making a happy face while roofing the window.
Soon, Vivian, New Yorker, and High-riser have lined up for their final descent. Yeon-ju closes the Inn Door roughly and stands in the middle of the group, and I continue to walk toward the North Gate.
I was able to see a few groups of users on the way. At this time of year, users in Mule would have obvious abilities. Or a very low streak. They were looking at us with one jealous look, probably having a hard time eating a day. I was also envious when I was a first-time beginner, of users who wore good equipment early in the morning to explore, so I didn't feel very empathetic to them.
So we march out the North Gate, bowed down by the guards, and at the same time the mood of the party is rapidly changing. The tumultuous atmosphere became quiet in a flash, and the excited faces hardened their faces and were alert to the surroundings. It was because I knew my temper that I couldn't tolerate any more pranks than I could in the city. There was an educational effect during that time. Especially when I tilted my head in a different atmosphere, I felt even more satisfied.
There are currently eight members of our party. Of course, it was not a perfect configuration (based on configurations other than the user's capabilities.) lacking class. However, it was a good match when you targeted the 'Dungeon of the Ancient Alchemists' Bian '. T r a n sla t e d by Jpm tl.co m
As such, it was now necessary to subdivide the position of the user's individual to some extent. Once I was at the forefront, I was in charge of coordinating the whole thing simultaneously with the tankers. An-hyun has decided to join me in a support battle with a sub tanker. Ansol stands in the center of the group, and Bian, Hayeon and Shinyong form a triangle group around her. At first glance, the center may be weak, but its weakness was offset by leaving the high notes as keepers.
One peculiar thing was that the well asked for free at the same time as the latter. In the past, I would have insisted that you don't talk nonsense, but I gave my permission and accepted my condition to run free.
So we reached the Plains where we visited the Dungeons of the Ancient Alchemists Vivian and the Laboratory of Ruins. I turn east without delay and lead the group.
They were all following my orders, but their eyes were filled with confidence they couldn't hide. Excited to explore in a long time, good equipment, better skills than before, and the gaze of other users. All of these factors caused the children to be more motivated than usual.
However, I was going to turn off their motivation at once. I liked riding this momentum, but I thought it would be better to be alert than that. The children were much stronger than their peer car users, but in the whole of the hall plane, they were still young children. And it's because, when you look at the behaviors of the children, they now seem quite likely to turn into pride and even more arrogance. And the way it worked was to create a situation that made me realize myself rather than screaming.
The group has little to talk about except what is needed. After keeping pace for a while, I turned around after some time. Mule is barely visible. It seemed like noon was approaching as the year started to rise. You spread the map for a moment to assess your current position, then decided to twist the direction slightly.
Despite walking diligently, no monsters or vagrants are seen. The vagrants were surprised to learn that the monsters never attacked. As we continued the march with a slight change in direction, we could see the faces of the children who had expressed extreme caution at the beginning unfolding gradually. I made a quick mockery of my steps because it was time to implement what I had planned.
Soon, the group begins to see a mountain rise that I was aiming for. I pause for a moment, then open my mouth to the group.
“From now on, we will cross the mountain in front of us. ”
“Yes? Do I need to cross a mountain? He said it would take 10 days to get there, but I know that if you take a straight line, you end up on the same road. You don't have to lose your strength climbing mountains. ”
Obviously, there was a plausibility to what he said. She said she had a long march ahead of her for the next 10 days and needed stamina control. But I was able to answer nicely because I had a goal.
“I've also briefly investigated other ruins, just in case. I was originally going to go straight to the root, but I don't think it's a bad idea to cross it once on the way. Of course, you can't explore in detail everywhere, but it's better than never. Though it may have been a bit of a twist, we will ensure that the expected arrival date remains unchanged. However, I intend to speed up the march that much, so please follow me. ”
“Ha. So you investigated all the other ruins besides those? ”
“Yes. I've selected and investigated the same ruins in the same direction. because we needed to be prepared for one. ”
T r a n s lated b y jp mt l .co m I turned away immediately after answering humbly. Ko Yeon acted strangely as if she didn't understand, but now I'm the captain of the caravan. And if she had never found it in the first place, she would have pinched her response and said it was an extension.
I'm a little sorry for Hayeon, Shin Yong and Vivian, but this was a necessary process. In Mule, this was one of the best practices. Right now, we're probably thinking of users as being invisible and somewhat doable as a small town.
However, it is 180 degrees different from the current situation just by entering a normal city or metropolitan city. Visible users and neglectful vagrants. And much higher dungeon difficulty and powerful monsters. He needed to be aware of his current position in order to survive in such a basket.
So, my choice was to march. I was going to kill the kids in a parade that was most fundamentally required of users in the hall plane.
We had a mountain ahead of us that we had just targeted. I didn't know it at a distance, but when I saw the huge mountain range in front of me, everyone was different from the first time. I asked the group before I went into the mountains to talk to them.
“From now on, I'm going over the mountain in front of me. Although the mountain has not yet been named, the library's records show that it forms a huge mountain range over a total of three mountains. It will be difficult to climb the mountain, but it will not increase your ETA. You have to keep up with my speed, and you have to keep up with the perimeter. Mountains are very frequent for monsters. ”
You hear someone clicking and swallowing. After one good laugh, I sent Ahn Hyun to the rear with the well. Just in case the wizards or priests get sloppy. An-hyun still followed my order with a confident face. It seemed to remind me of the vigilante who was in the Dark Forest.
But at that time, it was a vigilante who was strictly tailored to the children. I was going to show this time how other regular users usually explore.
“Then I'll be on my way. ”
The group nods once, and I immediately make my way into the mountain.
“Hehe, hehe. ”
“Huff, huff. ”
The children who were climbing the mountain for the first time started breathing for less than an hour. The first user to complain of lack of stamina was Ansol. He also revealed weaknesses as much as he was a priest and as he usually lacked stamina. But I never slowed down.
