Step 12 – Lv. 652 Mad Wizard(2)
Logan stiffened the moment he saw the tip message.
This shouldn’t come out. If it is a normal 10 level [key item], this explanation does not appear.
It should be limited to the description of the environment and the specific species.
When the floating feeling disappeared and I set my feet on the ground, the first thing I checked was the surrounding environment.
It is a snowy forest.

Jenny also had an expression that couldn’t hide her embarrassment.However, these two are veterans of their own who have been earning a living in the labyrinth for a long time.
Once he was alert and gave instructions to the newly rescued party members.
“Did you say there was a lot? Was there a movement speed in the dagger mastery?”
“yes!”
“Let’s take a look around with Jenny. The steps jumped out a lot. Anyway, a labyrinth full of luck…”
The two with the fastest bodies disperse.
The petite shooter Little made the four weeks vigilant.
Fortunately, it was not very dense and the forest was sparse, and there was no immediate danger.
“I don’t know how long it will take, so I’ll have to look for a base. How much food did you bring?”
The music box answered.
“I have three days’ supply.”
“Okay, that shouldn’t be a problem. We’ll work for three days.”
Slow forward, following two agile warriors leading the skies. If anything happens, you must immediately switch to combat.
The shooter looks to the left and right between the two warriors, not knowing where the enemy will suddenly jump out.
It would be quicker for a shooter with agility-oriented stat settings to make judgments rather than a mighty warrior.
Logan thought to himself.
‘It’s not good. I mean, when the party members just changed color… … .’
In general, it is rare to receive more new recruits than existing ones.
Since it is not yet reliable, problems arise when such unfortunate events or disputes arise.
This is because existing staff cannot afford it.
Exiles must always assume battle. Not only monsters, but also battles with the same exiles.
According to his career, he was a little shorter than Logan and Jenny.
The steps were also relatively low-level, and it was close to safety first.
It’s probably a party that hasn’t disbanded since it came up together in the tutorial.
Can not help it. In this case, the traitor of the party is more feared.
If you jump out of step 12, you’ll be on level 5, so even in the worst case, Logan and Jenny can be safe.
A level over 200 is proof that you have been in and out of the Rift for a long time.
Even if one person is pushed back, I have no intention of being beaten lightly.
I feel sorry for the dealers who were colleagues until yesterday. They came up together in the tutorial and have been together for 30 years.
He retired from old age with no intention of abandoning the human, so he could not stop him.
I wish we could have continued to be together after becoming a fairy or a dwarf… … . What is his marriage?
* * *
In fact, from our point of view, it is not a problem at all.
Even if it bounced a little, it was an encounter I knew.
With the current power of this party, it was a bit annoying, but it wasn’t a problem that could be said to be difficult.
However, if we follow the forged career path, it cannot be done so easily.
Logan, who seems to have been in and out of the lift for a long time, was also skilled at keeping an eye out.
I’m putting it back in case I get distracted, and the kid with the rifle is following me from right behind.
Even if he has a different mind, he intends to quickly subdue the weak shooter and create a one-on-one situation with me.
Hee-woo thinks Jenny can subdue it.
But there is no reason why we should do them.
Still, it’s a little difficult to correct that misunderstanding, and I don’t have time to create a new fake identity.
Even if the three councils cooperate, the high rankers will eventually sniff.
Until then, we need to create a force to respond to.
If so, should it be revealed?
I decided to watch the situation a little more.
Logan and Jenny were experienced enough adventurers, so we could just stick to our roles and get out of here.
If not, both will be killed here. I don’t know how heavy their mouths are.
I don’t want to, but it’s okay if you need it.
It is better to reduce the risk.
I’ll just wait one night.
Once in the process, there was no risk. The forest, which was not densely bushed, did not block much of the view.
Soon the two agile warriors who had gone out to scout returned.
Hee-woo quietly followed and stood behind him.

Jenny says“I found a cave to use as a base. There was a bear hibernating inside. It’s the way to subdue it.”
“That was the reason for the silent battle. Any other threats?”
“No problem. There aren’t any beasts around here. But I think I’ve heard something like a roaring sound that seems a bit dangerous. It’s a very remote place.”
Agility is not only involved in precision movements, but also in the senses.
There, the leaf fairy has good ears. Logan believed the word.
“The season is supposed to be winter. The sun is going down quickly. It might be a long game, so the music box, you and I, prepare for the camp. Don’t turn on the lights.”
Although the cave was small, it was still where the bear lived, so there was enough space for five people.
“Tsuk, it’s unfortunate that it fell at night. This is true.”
“It’s a useless risk to hunt animals at night.”
“You still have good basics. Why did you go around so low?”
“Isn’t safety the most important thing?”
“That’s right.”
Logan sighed. The sun is setting rapidly.
“Were you two vampires? Can you handle bats?”
“I can.”
“A few bats, please. Well, in a way, it’s not necessarily a bad thing at night. Let’s stay vigilant with me, and if the sun comes up, let’s go.”
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Jenny shrugs.“I’ve been sleeping and I’ve been awake for a while, but I can sleep well. Logan, what latitude do you think it is?”
“The north is quite north. It doesn’t look like the sun will rise soon. It’s completely midwinter.”
Following the instructions of the leader, Logan, Hee-woo also took a break.
The vampires and the little boy didn’t necessarily need to sleep, but the magic user took a break for mental fatigue.
Before the sun went down, Jenny pulled out the carcass of the bear she had caught. The skin is skillfully peeled off with a knife and even the fat is removed.
It’s not an environment for tanning, but it won’t last long enough to rot, so it’s a plausible fur.
“Ugh, fishy. Daggers don’t see things like this well, do they?”
“Ugh, I have a weak stomach.”
“But how do you make a dagger warrior? Nyahahaha.”
While Jenny counted how much the bear’s fur would be, I also helped groom it.
There were two bear cubs as if they were hibernating.
“How are you? Is this not your first time doing something like this?”
“Aren’t animals the most common? I learned.”
“You’re too adept to say that? We’ve been specializing in beasts for decades.”
Couldn’t light a fire. It is difficult to expose a location when it is not clear what the threat is.
Since they were all exiles, they had enough stamina to spend the night in this cold.
“It’s snowing. Are the bats okay?”
“It’s not freezing.”
It’s a campfire without a bonfire. The night went deep.
* * *
When the storm comes, take action.
Bats flew and scouted the terrain.
And some of them were killed.
Logan was a little surprised at the convenience of a vampire, but there was something more important than that.
“What was it that stole the bat?”
“It was like a Wyvern. But it was a little different.”
“Are you a chimera?”
“If it’s a two-headed Wyvern, it should be so.”
Monsters are occupying the sky.
As the sun came up, it seemed to start working.
The sparse forest was not enough to completely escape the sight of the monsters.
“The topographical map is an island… it’s like a hermit wizard’s laboratory.”
“It appears to be a random encounter. Your luck is fierce.”
“Huh, there must be a way to get through it. I’ve already gone through the tutorial, but I can’t be frustrated that I jumped a bit in step 10.”
“Sure.”
Get ready and take action. Skirts can be replaced by low-flying bats.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Jenny and Dagger stuck together like wings left and right.“It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a vampire exile who handles bats so well. It’s going to be difficult to be active when the sun comes up, right?”
“Reconnaissance will be difficult. Bats also burn in the sun.”
Even if you take the lift and enter the server, it is no different from the tutorial in the end.
There is sudden death and there are stairs.
If you get out of the stairs in time, it’s clear.
“There is a plausible structure. Should I call it a mansion?”
“It must be the base of the guy who made the Chimera. I need to prepare for the boss battle.”
Logan put the chain scythe he was holding.
If the boss existed, it might have bounced higher than expected.
It was also necessary to check whether the fruit was present.
Two quick, agile warriors began scouting separately.
It was thought that flying reconnaissance through bats would not be good as it was next to the mansion.
If you are a mage who deals with Chimera, you may be sensitive to summons.
The mansion does not run away anywhere. The two warriors and Little, the shooter, remained, so they decided to figure out whether there were any traps or the access road.
It wasn’t very close. Alarm magic, etc. had to be considered.
Even though it’s cold, I try to sweat.
It’s not the first time it’s happened, but it’s not often.
Logan and Jenny pride themselves on being veterans, but in the end they were just adventurers, not challengers.
They only go back and forth at an appropriate level to earn and live on a day-to-day basis.
I was moving forward very slowly, little by little, trying to live without dying.
I can’t help but be nervous about this.
“I think it’s fine. Still, it’s a bit difficult for monsters to move around inside.”
“There are a lot of things that have limbs arbitrarily. However, most of the bases themselves seem to be giant reptiles. The cold will be effective.”
“I hope so. Did you say that Little could only be a fire type?”
“No matter how magically modified it may be, it will be equally vulnerable to heat. It can’t regulate its body temperature.”
“It wouldn’t be too bad if I set fire to it and rushed in.”
The stairs can only be opened by defeating the boss. If not, it’s better to just go through it.
The man named Music Box is better at understanding the situation than expected.
Considering that he is competent compared to his career, it would be good to think about a long-term contract after leaving without much.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Jenny and Dagger are back. The fruit is said to have been found.“It’s yellow. This is a fruit that has the same effect as a healing potion.”
“The more extra lives, the better. We didn’t find Sam.”
The mansion is big. It might be in there. or none.
“There are two vampires in the party, so it’s better to enter when it’s dark. Let’s go.”
I have no intention of fooling around entering the front door.
The exterior wall of the mansion, which is not well maintained, was old enough and had a hole through which a person could pass.
The party quickly crawled through the wall.
If you can end up with a stealth action, it’s cheap.
There were many large lizards or chimeras to be called dinosaurs in the garden.
A lot of people came out.
I attacked the Chimera who approached me from the grass. fall in one hit
Logan thought. It doesn’t look like it’s that high-level monster.
Pull the body and hide it. Not a single drop of blood came out.
Not a dagger warrior, but an assassin?
Looking at Jenny, the same agile warrior, the cat-eared fairy, has a face that she doesn’t even know.
Anyway, there’s nothing wrong with having strong allies right now.
It’s not in a situation to hit the back of the head right now, so you can trust it. I don’t think we’ll all die together.
Little was also active.
Plasma rifles do not have a loud firing sound. It blocks the spread of sound through a little magic, and it is quieter than BB.
I’d rather throw a dagger would make a louder sound.
After a few bursts, Jenny and Dagger take care of the well-cooked Chimera and hide it.
All of the stealthy source-and-distance attacks were present, so it went surprisingly smoothly.
Logan was a little relieved.
entered the building. Unlike the outer wall, there was no broken place, so I had to climb up the wall.
One of the windows was broken on the third floor.
It was a room used as a storage room and seemed to be open for ventilation. Surprisingly, it is well organized.
“This is a bit strange. Isn’t there a sense of life?”
“I think there are some servants of the mad wizard.”
“The minions… if we can reduce it sufficiently with a sneak attack like we do now, things will be easier.”
Open the door carefully. Dagger, who looked more like an assassin than Jenny, took the lead.
The hallway was quiet. And it was strangely clean, even luxurious at a glance.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Jenny touches the carpet on the floor.“This is a luxury item…”
Logan felt his spine cool.
What kind of existence would it be if it was enough to indulge in such luxury in a secluded place?
It must be more powerful than a certain amount.
If you can bring it back safely to the kingdom, you can make quite a lot of money.
And the labyrinth is always a place where risk and return are proportional.
“Listen carefully. It seems that we are in a very dangerous situation right now. If only the inside of the mansion is clean, something is wrong.”
“You should be careful.”
“A level 500 or higher boss might be waiting…”
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Jenny also complained a little.“We’re a little over level 200, but if it’s 500…”
Then it’s all dead. It is a level gap that cannot be crossed.
For them, it’s an enemy of a level I’ve only heard of through rumors.
Nevertheless, progress must be made.
No matter where you go and hide, if sudden death occurs, you will only die.
“From now on, I will take the lead.”
It is no longer at a level that can already be solved by stealth. I had to prepare for battle. Make sure you have a few rooms that are strong enough to build.
Slowly pass through a quiet hallway. Two warriors in front, two agile warriors right behind them.
And the shooter at the back.
As I turned the corner, something appeared.
Logan responded.
The chain scythe flies.
A sharp sickle was pierced into the body with scales. and bounced off
Logan broke the chain. A scythe that bounces off after hitting the wall once is added to run at the enemy again.
Chains wrap around the body.
“Attack!”
Even as he said that, Logan couldn’t hide his horror.
The beast with scales dressed in maid clothes was a person he knew well.
It is different from the leaf fairy. A semi-high-ranking race that inherited the blood of dragons.
Yongin.
It is a powerful being that is also famous as a race of warriors who are members of the Three Council.
* * *
Looking at the Yongin Maid, I thought.
Do you know what kind of random encounter this is?
Hmm. If you do this on this server as well, it seems that you can achieve not bad results.
Some encounters you meet through the Rift are also part of a larger quest chain.
And Yongin is a weaker opponent than I was worried about.
Also, the kingdom is good. No matter how difficult the level of difficulty, there is a certain limit.
If this was a tutorial, the mad wizard might have summoned something like a level 2,000 old god shard.
You will have to experiment a few more times, but in this way, it may be possible to reduce costs by entering the 30th [key item] 50th stage.
If so, is this also very efficient?
I can change my farming plan a bit. In the direction of shortening more time.
