030 – Viktor, looking for a party. #3
– Keng, Keng!
Ice Fang screams and collapses.
Its body seemed to become transparent, and before long, it left behind a wide leather bag and a jingling Renée pouch.
When a creature dies, it leaves an item instead of a corpse.
It was a very strange sight, but neither Melvin nor Dearmid seemed to care.
“Deermid, I am one more.”
“I cut two of them while you were talking.”
For these guys, this kind of sight must be a daily life.
I also took it for granted that monsters and beasts would drop items when playing games.
anyway.
The deeper you enter the labyrinth, the more Ice Fangs appear.
As I remember, there are 5 snow rabbits in this [Snow Mountain Labyrinth].
Only Ice Fang x17 should have been living there.
“So far, I am four, and you, Dearmid, are seven.”
“Why do you guys leave me out? I caught six too?”
Hearing the chatter of the party members, it seemed that he had captured all 17 Ice Fangs. Then it means that there are no more opponents in this labyrinth.
“Ice Fang would have just been his last.”
“yes? Well, if that’s true, it’s a pity. I thought I would feel better now.”
Melvin gasped for breath. He spoke confidently, but his stamina seemed to be approaching its limit.
The same goes for Deermid, who cut down seven monsters.
After inserting the sword into the invisible pocket, the guy clenched his fists.
“… Was it tight for a walk? I’m a little tired.”
Maybe even Megha is tired, unlike the chatter that never ceased from the first time we met, she’s calmed down a bit now. He wasn’t very quiet though, so he occasionally asked me questions.
“Is there a boss or something in this dungeon? The dungeon owner.”
“there is.”
I could feel the tension rising from everyone’s attitude towards my answer.
It was only natural that he would be nervous at the thought of dealing with the owner of the dungeon when he was tired like now.
“But the goal of this dungeon is not to catch the owner. For us right now, we still have no choice but to catch him.”
What I felt after entering this labyrinth.
Melvin, Dearmid, and even Mega were similar to the performance I knew, but at the same time slightly different.
The only difference was that he was a little weaker than I remembered.
Since exploring the labyrinth or hunting monsters is known to be dangerous, it seems unavoidable that the speed of its development lags behind that of the characters in the game.
So, it is impossible to take these guys now and catch the boss of this labyrinth.
It’s not that there isn’t much of a way. I mean, there’s no need to put up with it.
Anyway, the place I want to go is the opposite way to the room where the boss monster is. Now, the probability of encountering a boss monster converges to 0.
In fact, the room I was aiming for appeared right in front of my eyes.
A stone gate tightly blocked by ice-covered stones.
When I reached for it, the door opened with an ooh-oh.
It was a time when everyone lowered their heads from the chill blowing from inside.
“As expected, there was a lot of bloom here.”
I could find flowers blooming among the transparent and clear ice chambers.
A lily that looks like transparent glass.
Since those things were in full bloom in the room, it seemed that even though I was emotionally hardened, my mouth was a little loose.
When I reached out and grabbed it, I felt a cold feeling.
「Snow Lily: An ice flower that blooms with mysterious magic. It is no different from a beautiful work in itself. If done well, I think it can be used in various places… ?”
This guy is also a tier 2 material.
As you can see from the description, it’s really used everywhere.
“What is this… , isn’t that a snow lily? Can’t you think of anything other than this look?”
“Melvin, do you know anything?”
“This is a famous story in my hometown, Draheim. There was a legend that ice flowers bloom somewhere in Ludens. I couldn’t believe the legend was real… .”
Melvin admires flowers. It looks like a Viking warrior, so it’s emotional that doesn’t match its size.
“beautiful… .”
Seruk.
A megaera that plucks a single “Snow Lily” like picking an icicle.
I said to the guy.
“Bring at least one flower to Enio. You will like it.”
This snowflake lily was often used to increase Enio’s affinity.
If the game and setting were the same, Enio would be happy in his own way when he received flowers.
“Then, everyone just packs flowers and goes back to where they came from.”
It was when I simply decided on a direction.
Megaira tilted her head and asked.
“Aren’t you going to clear the dungeon?”
“No. After you attack, you won’t be able to come in here anymore. After a day or so, the Snow Hare and Ice Fang that were here will regenerate again.”
It’s a bona fide place with an infinite supply of materials.
Why do I have to split the belly of the goose that lays the golden eggs?
* * *
“Then I will give you all the wolf skins and snow hare skins. I’ll share that with you guys, but I’ll take the snow lily instead. Will you be okay though?”
Right before leaving the dungeon, I split the settlement money with everyone.
A total of 5 pieces of Ice Fang Leather obtained here.
4 canines.
5 snow hare skins.
René’s total income is 120,000 René.
All materials are Tier 3 items.
Even if it sells, Renée won’t be much.
After an hour of hard work shivering in the cold, how come the income is not very flat?
It would have been nice to have at least one “Ice Crystal”, a Tier 2 material.
Of course, the reason he came here was not because of these jap items, but because of the 「Snow Lily」. I just wish I could get my hands on this.
Nevertheless, Melvin and Dearmid were overjoyed.
“Awesome! You’re taking so much loot! This is the first time since entering Ludens!”
“Certainly, an unexpected harvest. It seems like I have accumulated quite a bit of experience.”
It seemed that even these rewards were quite impressive to these guys, who had significantly less experience in dungeon raids.
I cautioned the restless guys.
“I must tell you, the location of this dungeon and how to enter it must be kept secret. If you promise the others that you can keep it a secret, I will draw you a map so you can come in and hunt in the future.”
“Five!”
“Instead, bring me this snowflake.”
Dearmid nodded.
“Okay, since we only have pretty flowers anyway. By the way, Viktor, are you really okay? To share such a secret dungeon with us. It must have been difficult to find out.”
“It doesn’t matter as long as you keep your promise.”
If you guys continue to supply me with [Snow Lily] in this troublesome maze, it’s actually a win for me.
And in order to overcome this maze of snowflakes, I have no choice but to need the spring sauce that I exquisitely combined.
At first, I just gave it away, but now I’m going to sell it for money?
In other words, this was a strategy that killed two birds with one stone by increasing my customers and using them to supply and demand materials at the same time.
Dearmid and Melvin, who had no way of knowing that, looked at me and glared at me like innocent teenagers.
“Biego, you. What a manly man he was!”
“I am Viktor, not Viego.”
“yes! Victor! I won’t forget your name anymore! Let me know if there is anything I can help with someday! I swear on Draheim’s honor that this Melvin will help you!”
It seems that he won Melvin’s favor unintentionally.

Judging from this reaction, it seems that he would be happy to listen if I asked him later when he needed to fill up the number of people in the dungeon raid.
Melvin’s duo, Dearmid, have also thanked me.
“Victor, to be honest, I think I misunderstood you. When rumors spread that you broke up with another woman, I honestly thought you were trash.”
“It deserves it.”
“But today I am with you, so I understand. Rumor has it that something is wrong. There must be some misunderstanding in the rumor about the breakup with Miss Arkwright. You are not a vessel for cheating.”
Is it a compliment or an insult to say that you are not a vessel for cheating?
It’s just that you’re moral, or that you can’t flirt with women.
I was confused for a moment, but when I saw Dearmid’s elated expression, it seemed like this guy was complimenting me in his own way.
Is Viktor’s negative reputation going up a little like this?
It’s not a bad story.
“Then, it’s time for the effect of the spring sauce to wear off, so let’s go out.”
* * *
The clock tower in the park was pointing to seven o’clock in the afternoon.
Melvin is taken aback by this.
“When I entered the dungeon, the time did not change at all. Not even ten minutes passed in the dungeon.”
It was as the guy said.
I had been staying in the dungeon for about an hour, but the time outside had passed about 10 minutes.
Regarding this bizarre situation, honor student Dearmid evaluated it as follows.
“It is a sub-space where time flows differently. After all, the technological power of the gods surpasses understanding.”
There is no other way to explain it.
Anyway, it was a good thing for me that it was still only seven o’clock.
It’s time to start cooking right away using the snow lilies I learned today.
“Then why are you following me?”
I was going back to the club room, but Melvin, Dearmid, and Megaira followed me.
Since this is on the side of the old school, it must be different from the dormitory of the new school where these guys live.
Melvin answered my question.
“It’s escort. You say that people called Pimblebert are extreme these days? You living on the side of the old school can be dangerous.”
“yes. Anyway, time flies and there is nothing to do. I am going for a walk.”
That’s what he said, but it seemed like he had an ulterior motive.
I had a rough idea of what it was, but decided not to mention it.
“Victor, you. Were you living in such a remote place? I heard that those who were expelled from the student council were treated harshly. I don’t think this is too much.”
When I arrived at the club room, Melvin shuddered when he saw where I lived.
Is it really that shocking that there is only one blanket and no furniture?
No matter how you look at it, this place with a ceiling and a roof is the palace itself compared to when I was homeless.
At that time, Dearmid added a word.
“Above all, this is an old school that is famous for having ghosts. Viktor, I can’t believe you, my classmate, were having a hard time living in a place like this… .”
“Everyone seems to have misunderstood something. It is a nice place, warm and not windy. It has no furniture, so it just looks empty.”
I explained briefly.
However, both Melvin and Dearmid looked at me with the same feeling, ‘You don’t have to say more than that.’
In the case of Melvin, he arbitrarily spread the skins in the club room, saying, “I’ll return my two wolf skins to you!”
They’re annoying guys.
If you give it to me for free, I’ll take it.
Rather than wasting my time with these guys, I thought I’d better do my job.
My job is real from now on.
“You guys, if you have nothing to do, eat what I make and go. You guys probably came along because of that anyway.”
