In addition, there is an altar in the center that looks like a huge plate. There was something written on the lower part of the altar supporting the plate, but it was hidden from people.
First of all, there are eight people including me.
It seems that most of them are standing apart little by little. Besides, I don’t know why some of them can’t even see their weapons.
Just in case, I hid the codex and walked out to them while keeping the parts shield.
“A new person has arrived.”
“ah… Uh, hello, how are you… … .”
“Kuhm… … .”
Did I make a crooked face without even realizing it?
As soon as he saw me, he grumbled inwardly about his arrogance at their appearance, and then greeted him with a smile.
“Ah, nice to meet you. Do you know where this is?”
“We don’t even know yet.”
A sullen-looking young man replies with a welcoming face, probably because the topic has changed thanks to me after suffering from a dwarf.
First of all, the hands are rough, but the clothes are fine. Judging from the muscles, etc., it doesn’t seem like it’s avant-garde.
“For now, I think it’s a labyrinth joke. Unfortunately, it’s not a treasure room.”
The stern-looking woman grumbled and added more words.
The body looks thin, but the well-dressed leather armor and the body at first glance are full of elasticity and look strong, so I don’t think it’s a wizard type.
“I also just came down the stairs, but I was separated from the party… I don’t know what English this is.”
As soon as I finish speaking, Kane walks out from one aisle.
I’m glad, really.
I don’t know what floor we’re on, but I’m the only one who’s met the group right now, so either way is fine.
I raised my hand in delight and gestured for him to come to my employer, then looked around with a more relieved heart. A short, stocky middle-aged man who looked like a dwarf tapped an ordinary young man on the waist with his elbow.
“First of all, isn’t that something I need to know?”
Then the young man sighed, scratched his head, and opened his mouth, pointing to the altar.
“As a result of looking around among the people who came earlier, the only meaningful thing was this altar… Once you come here and read it, it says to offer blood as promised in an ancient language.”
“Um, is that so?”
I put my strong Kane shield in front of me and stabbed my back, and Kane let out a sigh and moved to the altar while deftly blocking my path.
Certainly, seeing it up close, thanks to Rachel’s protection, it is said to be an ancient language, but it is easy to read.
[I will offer the promised blood]
[There is a promise between the lie and the truth]
[If you offer the right thing, the way will be opened and you will receive the right reward.]
[If you offer what is wrong, it will also be made right]
The lower part of the four-sided altar had one inscription on each side.
Well, first of all, looking at this, it looks like there is a certain way to get out of here.
“So what is the promised blood?”
When I asked with a smile, the young man made a surprised face and said, ‘Oh, you’re a noble.’ After muttering, he scratched his head again with a puzzled face and opened his mouth.
“that is… That’s what I hear. Of course, nothing is certain.”
A slightly clumsy-looking young man hesitantly looked at me and explained.
“Do you know your doppelganger? It’s a special monster… This floor seems to be the floor where such a doppelganger comes out. I don’t know if it’s bluffing, but I heard people talking about altars in pubs.”
However, the Dwarf Warrior beats his chest as if he is frustrated at the words of the young man who had been silent for fear that he would only cause confusion if he said something that was not certain.
“no… If I put together what I heard here and there, it seems to be correct, so tell me everything you know?”
“Hmm, I think I’ve heard of it in the Druid’s Temple.”
While standing in silence wearing fur clothes, the old man finally adds a word.
He is said to be a druid, but he did not step out because he was alone here, as if he had run out of all the animals he was with.
For now, each of them started talking about the rumors they had heard about the floor of their doppelganger.
therefore. If you find the doppelganger mixed in with people, kill it, and put the blood on the plate on the altar, the door will open?
At the young man’s words, I said, “Hmm,” and exhaled, but a woman climbed up on the altar plate, sat cross-legged, and threw words in a sharp tone.
“what? Is it different from what I’ve heard? It’s true that the door will open if you catch the doppelganger, but they said that if you make a sacrifice after promising to offer it, you’ll get that much sacrifice?”
Judging from the girth of his hands, he looked like an archer, but without a bow, the man scratched the back of his neck with calloused fingers and hardened his expression.
As if the woman’s sharp voice was annoying, I looked at her with a little frown, then turned my head to look at me.
“I heard that you have to go into every aisle and find someone hiding and kill him. It’s just a story I picked up at the inn’s restaurant, but… … .”
A short, stout man who looked like a dwarf responded by using an ax as a staff and leaning on the floor.
“Well, that’s what I heard. You can go out after some time, but I heard you only need 4 people or less to get rich?”
Jung-gu heating, this.
I make a subtle expression, but the man who looks like a professional dungeon hunter with a lot of small weapons and clothes kicks his tongue out loud and kicks the floor with his toe for no reason.
It looks kind of unstable. Well, to put it simply, it wouldn’t be common to enter a labyrinth and then fall to a different floor.
“Damn it, what kind of sacrifice are you talking about? How do you tell doppelgangers apart?”
The sight of Hunter spitting his spit on the floor after chewing his words roughly is no different from a young backstreet junkie.
“I can’t just pick and kill anyone, I want to.”
After Hunter spit, the woman sitting at the altar looked back and raised her eyes at the muttered words.
Hmm, the armor is quite sturdy, so it was ambiguous. From the outside, the weapon is not immediately visible, and the gait is quiet.
Originally, it must have been an assassination or thief job. It’s easier to react once you understand it to a certain extent.
The man with the tense face was probably a prosecutor.
A person with a bad personality and an unpopular appearance is in Dungeon Hunter… In the beginning, he was kind and had an explanationist temperament, but he seemed like a normal person in charge of chores at a party.
Is the only woman an assassin? There was a dwarf warrior and an old man in fur. A man who looks like an archer but does not have a bow.
To recap, a swordsman, a dwarf warrior, a dirty dungeon hunter and a female assassin, an archer without a bow and a druid without animals. And even a young man who looks japke.
Me and Kane there. A total of nine people.
All jobs are different.
The moment I put together a brief directory in my head, I hear footsteps tapping from the aisle.
“Do, young master… … !”
The atmosphere was getting cold as people noticed each other for a while, but Luna came out rubbing her eyes at the end of the aisle, found me, and ran.
Even though the swordsman with a nervous expression and the woman are looking at Luna as if they are wary, he doesn’t care and falls into his arms.
Tears welling up, I guess someone wasn’t originally called Crybaby Rabbit Clan Maid.
“Rabbit? There was something that showed off that it wasn’t human.”
“Don’t talk nonsense right here.”
“What did I do, you say, archer. You say it as if you said nothing.”
With everyone’s attention focused on Luna at the woman’s harsh voice, I raised my hand and slapped Luna away.
“Oh, are you surprised?”
“Ugh… I thought I was the only one who came to a strange place… … .”
yes yes To Luna, who grabbed my clothes and rubbed her eyes, I pretended to take it out of the purse, opened the subspace, took out a handkerchief, and held it. The dwarf touched his beard and opened his mouth.
“however… Are they all the same party?”
“I’ve fallen out with everyone… … .”
“That’s awful… Even a group of young people feel at ease. But you don’t know who your doppelganger is right now.”
At the words of the dwarf and the young man, the archer without a bow asked me while each made a thoughtful expression.
“So, are all the members of your party gathered now?”
Why did we all get together?
As I hold out my palm, as you can see? shrugged his shoulders.
“Do you think there are no party members like you?”
From noble mtl dot com.
Even while I was asking, the swordsman still made a nervous face and touched the handle of the extended sword with the palm of his hand.
As if Kane felt threatened by that, he stood in front of me and Luna as if to sneak up on him, and put his hand on top of the pommel in the same way.
little tension.
If someone coughs, I’ll get stabbed right away.
match!
To change the atmosphere, I clapped my hands loudly and slowly, drew everyone’s attention to me, and smiled with only the corner of my mouth raised.
“Why don’t we draw each other’s swords and dance right away, or do we have a conversation first?”
Just by looking at Kane’s wary eyes, that swordsman is the strongest among them, but why is he looking like a herbivore?
The swordsman was taken aback by my words, turned his eyes toward me instead of Luna, and took a step back.
“Huh, after the party reunion is over, wouldn’t it be better to start from a safe distance?”
He chinned Luna in a sharp voice and made a face that Luna still didn’t understand.
“Is it okay if I stick around like that? In fact, there might be a doppelganger among them.”
The young man also added words with a slightly troubled face.
“That is a matter for me to judge. You want to enjoy the afterglow of the party reunion right now?”
more arrogant than anyone else. The trait should be used like this.
At my words, only her red lips pouted, and the woman turned her head with excitement.
In that atmosphere, the archer without a bow looks at us shyly and opens his mouth.
“I think talking is also a good way. After all, a doppelganger is different from a real person. Maybe you can get a hint from the conversation.”
“Come to think of it, they say that a doppelganger cannot read all the memories of its cloned person.”
“I like to talk. If I ask if you’re a doppelganger, will you answer no?”
“Oh, then, can we do anything else now?”
“No, then what are you going to kill? It’s worse for us to do this to ourselves. Isn’t your head spinning like that?”
“Look at what I said. Shall I cut my head once in four years?”
“I really have no idea whose head will break first?”
The young man added words to the archer’s words, and the hunter quarreled and the assassin added, making it a mess.
I watched them raise their words and actions as if they were fighting among themselves.
“Well, to be honest, wouldn’t people who came late be more suspicious if that happened?”
“Considering the time it would have been attacked and eaten?”
Instead of fighting among themselves, arrows fly this way.
“but. You wouldn’t be able to tell them apart just by looking at them, but how would you know if the person you just met is a real party member?”
“In a way, it might be more dangerous than between people who haven’t met for the first time.”
“I think so too. Rather than unconditionally covering up and trusting each other, wouldn’t it be a way to slightly doubt each other?”
‘hahahaha, look at these?’
Soon, I shrugged my shoulders as I saw people casting suspicious glances in our direction.
“So, in this situation, is there any sage who knows how to distinguish the doppelganger here?”
Is it a well-grounded suspicion now?
In response to my question, everyone looked at their weapons, looked at their fingernails, or scratched their heads for no reason.
“then… More people can gather, so let’s talk while we wait.”
“that’s right. If you say something, you might not get along.”
“what… Not a bad idea. Doesn’t the aristocratic boy think so too?”
Luna and Kane look at me at their words that they take a step back and look like they are thinking about something.
I twisted only one corner of my mouth and crossed my arms.
‘These imposters are varied.’
Oops-cha facial expression management.
In response, I opened my mouth in a softer voice as if taking a step back.
“What, is that so? Let’s eat something and open up a conversation.”
Ten people gathered together.
Among them is a doppelganger.
I have a worried face and a curious look. Looking at them looking at me with nervous gestures, I smiled brightly.
