136. Chapter 136
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the setting sun.

Just a moment ago, the sun was shining outside the walls, but when I closed my eyes for a moment and opened them, time and space had changed.
Looking at the city walls from inside the city, the battle that just took place felt like a dream.
-Welcome to the second shelter, Skabe, the Sand City.
As it was a shelter, there was no time limit or goal in sight.
This place is literally a shelter. It is a space created for players who are tired from challenging the ordeal up to the 10th floor to rest.
Of course, other than that, it is also a place where various activities are carried out among players, such as exchanging equipment obtained from trials or seeking a new clan.
Soon after, the Diablo Clan began to be summoned around Seun.
“shelter! Shelter!”
“What a break this is!”
“I live!!”
Clan members cheered while appreciating the word shelter and the peaceful interior of the city.
Although he enjoyed rest in the residence in the middle, it was because the ordeal after that felt exceptionally long.
‘Well, I climbed five floors in a row.’
The difficulty of the trials increases as you climb the tower, and one theme tends to become shorter.
In that case, there is an advantage that you can take a break through the clan’s residence every time you finish a theme, but instead, you have to risk your life every time you challenge a trial.
Maybe Sammosa Jo?
Either side is only forcing the player to make a choice, but at this moment, I wanted everyone to enjoy the joy.
Sewoon approached Yoo Seo-ah, who was still in the center of the group with a bewildered expression.
“great job.”
“Sewoon! Are you not hurt anywhere?”
“of course. I was going to go help right away, but it didn’t seem necessary.”
“It was all thanks to Baekhyun. Not only did I conceive the plan, I sacrificed all the undead I worked so hard on.”
The contents of the operation were easily conveyed.
A strategy to bind the movements of the boss monsters with their own powers, insert Baekhyun’s undead into them, and explode them.
He looked even more amazing because he knew how diligently Baekhyun had been studying corpses and creating undead during breaks.
“hahahaha, no. No matter how important the undead are, are they more important than us? And the most important manticore is still intact.”
“If you need anything, just let me know. I will do my best to help.”
“thank you! Then, can I get some from the queen ant you got on the ninth floor? There are so many things I want to experiment with!”
“of course.”
Now it was also in the middle of the city, and everyone was tired.
I can’t take it out of here, so I decided to hand over the body of the ant queen as soon as the morning dawns tomorrow.
While contemplating whether to return to the clan’s residence or seek accommodation here, a new message appeared in front of Clan Diablo’s eyes.
-The commander of the South Gate, Yasha, invites Diablo Clan to the ‘Davan Bar’.
‘Davan’s pub?’
Even if no one else knew, Sewoon remembered.
The Dayvan Tavern is a tavern that soldiers from the southern gate visit once a year to have a party after each time they stop a monster attack.
The problem wasn’t that.
‘Is it connected to the trials on the 10th floor?’
Sewoon looked back at his memories before returning.
At that time, the ordeal was successfully blocked, but as soon as they arrived at the shelter, the soldiers didn’t even care about the players.

Just like when they first arrived at the wall, they treated the players thoroughly as ‘outsiders’. It was as if they had forgotten that they had prevented the attack of monsters together.
But now, no matter how you look at it, it seemed that the ordeal of the 10th floor and the story of the shelter were connected.
Is it because of the hidden quest? Or is it because of his relationship with Yasha?
You have to attend to find out why.
And fortunately, the reaction from Diablo Clan was also positive.
“Oh, the tavern!”
“Wouldn’t it be nice to have a beer before resting… … ?”
“I think I’ll be fine too… … Great.”
Of course, he couldn’t openly shout out to let’s go, and he was watching Se-eun and Yoo Seo-ah. Even Park Jeong-pil was looking at Se-jun with bright eyes.
In response, Sewoon was the first to step forward and call them.
“What are you doing? I’m not going.”
“awesome! Our clan leader!”
“Let’s go!”
* * *
The location of the Davan pub was not too far away.
In the first place, the location where Diablo Clan was summoned was around the south gate where the Davan Bar was located, and it was easy to find thanks to the system kindly telling us the location.
“Hey, it’s bigger than I thought, isn’t it? older brother?”
When I thought of the name of the tavern, I thought it would be a small tavern made by a retired soldier, but looking at it now, it seemed to be one of the leading large taverns in Skabe.
Sewoon before returning was a place I didn’t know about because I didn’t have much interest in taverns.
When I opened the door and entered, I saw soldiers who had already filled more than half of the seats.
As soon as they roughly cleaned up the battlefield, they also ran to the tavern, but their clothes were still clinging to the body fluids and sand of the monsters.
Still, no one was impressed.
Everyone was raising their beer glasses high and raising their voices excitedly.
Then one of the soldiers found Sewoon, knocked on the table with an empty beer glass, and shouted backwards.
“Attention everyone! The hero has arrived!”
“what? Oh, come!”
“Commander! Commander, where are you!”
“Come out quickly!”
Everyone who followed Sewoon was taken aback by the unexpected enthusiastic welcome.
I thought I would just sneak in and have a drink, but judging from the atmosphere, it felt like Diablo Clan was playing the leading role.
Not long after, Yasha heard the news and broke through the soldiers.
“I waited! Come on, this way… … .”
Yasha tried to guide them to a seat, but there were no seats suitable for all of the Diablo clan to sit on.
By the time she thought about whether she should sit down among the soldiers while keeping a close eye on her, her voice filled the bar.
“Hey guys .. hey guys! What are you doing without making a seat!”
“Yes, yes!”
“All you bastards, stand up!”
“Oh, why are you here!”
“If you eat less than me, shut up and stand up!”
Udangtang!
The soldiers on the right hurriedly moved, and in an instant, eight tables were emptied.
There was a soldier who rolled on the floor to get out of his seat in a hurry, but instead of asking if he was okay, he just stopped moving and said what he was doing and was dragged by the back of his neck.
Commander of the South Gate, Yasha.
I thought he had a calm and calm personality, but I didn’t expect him to have such charisma.
As expected, the soldiers followed her well for a good reason.
Well, thanks to that, Clan Diablo, including Seun, was able to settle down comfortably.
“Thank you for coming. Did you get some rest?”
“No, we were just wondering if we should find a place to stay.”
“If that’s the case, don’t worry. There is a nice lodging behind the tavern, so we’ll make a reservation.”
At her words, the people of Clan Diablo cheered.
Even if you go back to your place of residence, there is a place to sleep and a place to wash, but even so, it can’t compare to the fluffy duvet of a proper inn.
It would not be a bad idea to use this opportunity to purchase a large number of household items to decorate the residence.
“Oh, are these them? Certainly, everyone has a lot to work on!”
While chatting with Yasha, a large man approaches with drinks and food.
One leg looked very uncomfortable, but it was easy to guess that he was a retired soldier.
“This is Davan, the owner of the tavern.”
“I heard the news! Everyone is doing great, but I can’t stay still! Hey John! Bread!”
“Yes, boss!”
“Let’s spend some energy on cooking today! Set with the most popular ones!”
“hehehehe, let’s show off our cooking skills after a long time! Even if the upper leg is broken, there is nothing to say!”
“of course! If you see that we’ve run out of alcohol or food, we’ll fire you all!”
“yeah!”
Although he is a retired soldier, is it because he understands the feeling of stopping a monster raid? All of the bar’s staff, including Davan, seemed in a better mood than the active duty soldiers.
Before long, various foods piled up on the table.
Scorpion skewers, lizard grills, cactus steaks and more. It was awkward and unfamiliar food, but judging from the atmosphere, it seemed to be quite popular here.
Although people were also hesitant to eat it at first.
gulp.
“This is so yummy! older brother!”
“Oh, is it good to eat?”
“How long has it been since you’ve had proper food!”
-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ drools so much that the floor becomes damp.
People soon began to fall in love with Skabe’s food.
It didn’t look like magic had developed, but somehow ice was floating in the beer.
As if the cheerful atmosphere of the soldiers had been contagious, loud laughter could be heard from the table of the Diablo Clan.
As the atmosphere matured, soldiers approached and began to raise their glasses, and the awkward atmosphere completely disappeared.
A few good-natured people first squeezed in among the soldiers, and soon everyone was clinking glasses together.
“This is all thanks to you.”
“I heard that you’ve been blocking it well so far.”
“That said, it was unavoidable that every time a monster attacked, casualties would follow. This is the first time there have been no casualties or injuries.”
After emptying a new beer, Yasha’s face was slightly red.
Although it is the position of commander. No, because he was in the position of commander, the joy of protecting the soldiers must have come even greater.
“Besides, this raid was particularly powerful. If it wasn’t for you, we might not have been able to defend the walls.”
Certainly, Clan Diablo’s contribution to this raid was very large.
The level of difficulty increased thanks to Seun’s clearing of the Hidden Quest, but that investigation was requested by Yasha in the first place.
The fact that they took first place in the rankings proved that Diablo Clan’s contribution was high.
After talking for a while, the words she had been waiting for finally came out of her mouth.
It was a word that Sewoon couldn’t say first because of the atmosphere.
“Ah, I will reward you as soon as things are sorted out.”
“Thank you.”
“However, I think we should report directly to the lord because of your contribution this time as well as the shaman.”
“Does it take long?”
“It won’t take long. I’m going to see you right away tomorrow morning.”
A hidden quest completed by Seun, an exiled shaman.
This was no light incident.
A shaman exiled from the city was preparing a plan to destroy the city.
What would happen if the news reached the lord’s ears?
Perhaps, even before the return, you might be invited to the introspection of Skabe, which you have never entered before.
‘Come to think of it, I heard that there was a mural similar to the statue in the inner palace.’
If the opportunity arises, it occurred to me that I should check out the mural.
Sewoon is convinced that the statue has something to do with Outer, but the more information the better.
As I was organizing my thoughts, I heard a familiar voice from the center of the tavern.
When I turned my head, Park Jung-pil raised his glass full of beer and raised his voice.
“Come on, everyone, focus! Grab a glass!”
“Hey, you know how to drink!”
“Everyone did a good job today, let’s forget all the hardships and drink for today!”
“Cheers!”
Woah!
That night, the lights didn’t go out until the dawn air blew into the Davan Tavern.
