(EP.261)# 3
261 – Fierce Fever # 3
Just, just.
“Come to the wall again.”
The owner of the clothing store waved at us with satisfaction. It must be a good feeling to sell a lot of stuff.
Thanks to you, I have a lot of baggage to lift. It’s okay to put it in my inventory ＜Squirrel Storage> anyway, so there’s really nothing inconvenient.
“Sir Tae-oh, how are you? It’s been a while since I’ve worn pants, so it’s a bit awkward… . I think it will be easier to move if it sticks together.”
Mirna turned her body one round. Its appearance is as flexible and noble as a figure skater or ballerina walking on an ice rink.
“You get along well.”
I praised Mirna with honest sentiment.
A cloak made of leather, boots and gloves made strong by driving iron jingles into the floor. And even belts where you can hang various things.
One thing comes to mind when looking at it.
“It’s like a new adventurer.”
Mirna frowned slightly, probably because she didn’t like my evaluation.
“Newbie? Not a veteran? Tae-oh, aren’t you looking down on my skills too much?”
“It’s not that the equipment is too clean. like you just bought it. You look like someone who has just moved to the city and is inflating an adventurer’s dream.”
“I don’t know if that will happen again. This is because the equipment I just bought is correct. But is it okay if Sir Tae-oh doesn’t have to buy anything?”
Mirna seemed worried about me for not buying anything at the clothing store. Of course I just shrug my shoulders.
“The clothes I already have are enough.”
Mirnaya couldn’t get the expensive dress dirty, so she needed new clothes. The clothes I’m wearing right now are enough for me.
Mirna nodded as if she understood what I meant.
“Well, those robes are pretty cool stuff. It’s always white as if it doesn’t pick up dirt or dust. It must have been something that was lurking in the basement of the Draco family.”
“Thanks, I am using it well.”
“Then, as the witch said, let’s go to the dungeon of that other world. How can I get a discount on expensive staff as a reward for completing a quest? awesome.”
Mirna’s steps were as light as her sister Narmi. Tto-gak, to-to-gak, the sound of boots walking down the street makes the people around us smile slightly.
-Are you newbies who have just set up your gear? The way I woke up in the wild reminds me of my old self. I had a time like that too.
-Since he’s a novice, that wizard looks quite seasoned. He also has an imp tail wand on his arm. Are you a graduate of the tower? Or of the arc?
-Ah, it must be fake. Imp tail wands aren’t worth a penny or two.
Even though she was dressed like an ordinary adventurer, Mirna attracted people’s attention. Well-groomed silver hair and white skin are easy to get attention from anywhere.
It’s better to go to the dungeon quickly before getting caught up in a frivolous incident.
👌👌👌👌
The map handed down from the witch marked the alley near the central market and the entrance to the dungeon that was opened nearby.
Where people live, there are dungeons where monsters lurk. I wondered if it would be okay, but he said that nothing inside the dungeon would come out.
Is it being used well under strict management?
Then there was a problem.
“Obviously, somewhere near here is the entrance to the dungeon. I don’t know where it is.”
Even though I arrived at the alleyway between the wall and the wall that the witch wrote down, I couldn’t see anything that could be called an entrance. Woowook Joo. Mirna pulls my collar.
“Here it is.”
“Is this mural?”
What Mirna was pointing to was a mural that looked like a child’s graffiti on the sun. It was a little strange that this was the entrance to the dungeon, but Mirna’s next explanation was quite reasonable.
“It was disguised as a mural. When you memorize a specific starting technique, it works as an entrance. You can understand everything even if you have only heard an introduction to the dungeon and the other side of the world in Ark.”
I see
Mirna added an explanation.
The right goes to the first person to discover these hidden world dungeons or to the person who bought them.
So, there were quite a few people in this world called dungeon owners, not building owners.
People who manage the dungeon and earn a living from its entry and exit, mainly guilds, families, or groups to purchase practical dungeons.
knowledge has increased.
“Sir Tae-oh, then let’s go inside. What is the starting word?”
“Then don’t be surprised if you hear it.”
“Is it a strange language?”
Instead of answering Mirna’s question, I picked my throat. And then he said.
“—I like naked women.”
“yes!? Bar, what did you just-”
Mirna was greatly perplexed.
But I only show her the map the witch gave her.
“This is a starter word. ‘I like naked women.’”
“Even so. I’m really disappointed with Sir Tae Oh… ! How could you say such an unscrupulous thing in public… .”
woo woo woo-.
As Mirna opened her mouth to say something with frowns, the mural began to glow.
* * *
The inside of the dungeon was a ruin full of collapsed columns and statues.
The sun is not rising, but it is strange that it is bright like broad daylight. However, unlike the hot Angmar city, it was cool.
The mana that touches the skin is also plentiful. The whining of the tail wand makes me cry because I want to use magic right away.
swish.
Mirna looked around and said.
“It’s a typical ruin type. Looking at the styles of the temple, it seems that it is a back space that was built about 5 centuries ago. Even if I say this, Sir Tae-oh doesn’t know anything.”
Mirna’s attitude when she said that seemed a bit blunt and angry. The reason was already well known. So I opened my mouth to release Mirna’s anger.
“Mirna-sama, it’s not my true intentions, it’s just that I recited the starting words. Do I have no reason to sincerely say that I like naked women in public?”
“… Who said that? Rather, why does the starting word of the dungeon look like that?”
“It is said that the starting word of the dungeon is entered as a word that is not often used in daily life. So I guess it was like that.”
“huh.”
It’s hard being a woman’s heart. It is understandable why the Angmar kings, who had many wives, had a short-lived and tragic end.
I said brightly to change the mood.
“Mirna-sama, then, let’s read the rules for entering the dungeon here first. It is written to say that you have to say goodbye once in a loud voice before entering.”
「Rules for entering the 32nd Street Central Market Dungeon」
“One. I don’t gossip or joke around in the dungeon.”
“2. The manual and the hourglass located inside the dungeon are put in their place when exiting.”
「3. Be sure to fill out the entry list… 」
Do you have a dungeon manual?
I looked around and saw a small booklet tied to a pole.
When I opened it, I saw the ecology of the vegetation and monsters that inhabit this dungeon. And the dungeon owner, the boss monster, and the rewards it drops are written.
You are kinder than you think. Is this a managed dungeon?
About the time I glanced at the pavilion attached to the pillar.
“I’m not a beginner like Sir Tae Oh, so it’s okay. I got an A twice in Introduction and Understanding Dungeon Studies.”
Mirna, driven by her motivation, walks away without reading the rules.
I wondered if it was okay without reading the instructions, but looking at the manual, it didn’t seem like there were any monsters that could harm Mirna.
– Crab, Crab-.
-Crap-.
multifaceted, multifaceted.
When you are walking through the ruins of an old temple that seems to have collapsed. Huge crabs covered in gray lime swarmed at us.
It’s called a crab monster, a trap crab.
It was half the size of my torso, so it was quite intimidating. If they were caught by their two claws, they might be seriously injured.
“Miss Mirna, you must be careful. It is written that magic of the second rank or lower will only bounce off the hard shell. Another thing to watch out for… .”
“A sword like this is enough for these guys.”
Sreung.
Mirna draws a long sword from her waist.
She soon walked through the crabs, gracefully slicing thin sections between their joints.
“Gyaaa-!”
Although his bizarre gimmick was unusual, Mirna also seemed to be quite talented at handling swords. Is it because swordsmanship is the basic culture for high-ranking girls?
Paz.
Then something dug out of the ground and grabbed Mirna’s ankle.
-Crap-. Crop-.
“Kyaak-!”
Mirna screams. It was a crab lurking beneath the floor that grabbed her ankle.
The name Trap-Crab is given because it is so good at burrowing like a trap. I tried to explain it, but Mirna didn’t listen.
“Are you okay?”
I’ll have to help.
It was time to chant the magic spell with such a feeling.
ㅡ Kyu-Iing!
The monster Cloudring, sitting on Mirna’s head, shook her head.
At last, the guy who dyed his blue body black like a dark cloud fired a lightning bolt that was clearly visible and struck the crab holding Mirna’s ankle.
Fierce-!
The sound as if the hairs on her body were about to stand on end, continuing. The charred crab releases Mirna’s ankle. I tapped the crab with my foot.
“He died instantly.”
ㅡ Kyu-Iing.
Ying Ying Yi made her body blue again and settled on Mirna’s head. It just looked weird, but I thought it would have such a powerful attack power.
“He’s more useful than I thought. apples are worth You can eat this crab.”
ㅡ Ying yaing.
“after… .”
Mirna sighed.
She hit her buttwheel on the charred floor.
“Kyung Tae-oh, my body doesn’t feel strong. My ankles are jittery… .”
“Are there any injuries somewhere?”
swish.
I took off my boots and looked at Mirna’s ankle, which had been caught by the crab.
There were no major wounds, but with my sensitive half-elf sense, there was something like a small needle mark on my ankle.
“Here, the description says that the trap crab’s nipper has a small stinger. It slows the person’s movement and, in severe cases, can cause temporary paralysis.”
It does not appear to be poisonous enough to threaten human life. Because trap crabs like to eat live prey.
Mirna asked.
“Isn’t there such a thing as an antidote?”
“If you look here, it is said that it can be made from grass and flowers that grow wild in the dungeon. It is said that it can only be obtained during the night time of the dungeon.”
I picked up the hourglass I had brought from the entrance from my waist. The hourglass with a magical spell meant that daytime in this dungeon was still far away.
“Then, are you saying that until then, you can’t move like this and have to stand still? Sir Tae-oh, isn’t there a way to write more?”
“Mirna, who received an A grade, is asking me all the questions.”
Perhaps she understood the meaning of my words, and Mirna’s face turned very red.
“… I was wrong. I’m not going to complain or complain. See if there are any other methods written there.”
Surprisingly, he admits his mistake very quickly. It would be harsh and unmanly to keep making fun of Mirna like this. Would you like to see what is written in the manual?
“If your body stiffens. It is written that massage can temporarily stop the progression of the slowdown.”
“… massage?”
Mirna’s ruby eyes fluttered anxiously.
