Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 91
You can't tell a person just by looking at the outside..
Well, sometimes there are people who say they know when they look, but usually they don't know..
It is a very common and insignificant fact that you can only know a person's true value by continuing to have conversations or activities with them..
However, sometimes we unintentionally forget that fact. Just like me right now.
That's how I treated the three batterers, who were nothing but burdens before entering the dungeon. I never expected that they would give me this much joy..
The advantage is that it is extremely enjoyable, perhaps because it is an unexpected pleasure..
"Hey, warrior! Please help me!"
"Ooh, ooh ooh ooh! Die, monster.!!"
"Wow!"
Since we didn't even have weapons, the guys who followed us in with swords and shields prepared by the academy in advance were engaged in a bloody fight with the goblins..
The level of difficulty is set at level, so you might think it's barely a goblin, but if it's a group of over 20 goblins, the story is a little different. Of course, even if that were the case, if there were 5 party members, the difficulty would be at Cheong-level level at best..
So the Academy designated the location where we would be sent as the goblin's abode..
As soon as the movement was completed, the situation where a group of goblins suddenly appeared in front of us could be considered a level of difficulty..
Of course, Zeke and I killed all but three. But how can you not laugh at those guys making noises like that while having a one-on-one interview with each of the remaining three?.
It's a shame there's no popcorn.
"Look at it falling behind the butt! Are you even courting a goblin! I can't stand straight?"
"Please save me!"
"If you die from that thing, even if you become a soul, you'll have to die one more time out of shame! My head will break! Block it!"
The hero and I didn't do this with the intention of screwing them over. Rather, it just helps them feel less embarrassed by showing them a little bit of fighting. Otherwise, there's no way you could play such a trivial game when you have to get to the center before the other groups and get a token or something.?
The process is just ridiculously funny..
"You can hold a sword amazingly. With that kind of strength, why on earth did you have a shield and a long sword??"
"I guess I was just being pretentious and the short sword seemed poor.."
What Zeke and I were doing right now was sitting on a pile of stones together, collecting rocks of appropriate size around us, and throwing them one by one when we felt like they were going to be in trouble to provide support..
Because they didn't even have the basics, even I could predict that a crisis would come to them two moves in advance. Thanks to this, I felt like I was walking a tightrope, but they were able to survive in a safe state without any threat to their lives. was able to move.
Sigh! And the stone that Zeke threw hits the goblin in the eye..
Thanks to this, the goblin, who was trying to take advantage of the gap created by the Mountain Kingdom envoy by clumsily raising his waist high and cutting off his feet, had to grab his face without completing his goal..
"Are you fighting with orcs, you idiot! Don’t you lower your knees and waist? Is that a tower shield you're holding? round shield paper?"
"Hehehe. Hehehe...!"
"Oh my, you bastards!."
Although he was spitting harsh words out of his mouth, Zeke was also enjoying this situation. After fighting to the death for another ten minutes, the three men who defeated the goblins looked haggard, like soldiers who had fought for three days and nights..
Of course, in our opinion, it's really the same, it's ugly, and it just makes us sigh. You guys probably never dreamed that you would go through this kind of trouble..
"Anyone looking at it would think it's been a week since I entered the dungeon. With what kind of confidence did you apply?."
The envoy's participation was entirely voluntary, so it was his own fault that could not be excluded or excluded. Knowing that, they just cried and gasped without even being able to refute anything..
"Don't forget that tension and follow along. Keep your boundaries straight."
"Joe, can’t you take a break and then go??"
"If you rest now, your body will spread and you won't be able to get up. What if you want to tear up the return scroll and give up? I won't stop you."
Even though he failed to win Zeke's favor, he participated with great vigor, but gave up and stormed out less than an hour later, so their kingdom would say he was really happy. They started moving after me and Zeke without saying a word..
"It doesn't feel artificial. Should we take the time to create an ecosystem naturally??"
"well. All I know is that they called in a professional wizard to make it, but I don't know much about it. But as you said, it is true that there is no artificial smell at all."
Still, considering that they hit us into a goblin den, it would be correct to say that they are at least taking care of the situation and understanding the terrain. This ultimately means maintaining and repairing the facility, so there was a high possibility that traps of the type that would easily break down if not managed were installed..
"There might be a floor trap or something, so I'll take the lead.."
"Oh, you know how to do that too? It's amazing."
"Because there was a lot of time to learn"
I have been learning practical compression training from professional instructor Asilier for about 6 years, splitting my time frugally. They are on a different level from half-baked adventurers..
After taking into account the surrounding environment and the students' classes, I selected the possible pitfalls and began taking action..
result? What can I say? Of course, he boasted a 100% hit rate and drew the admiration of Zeke..
"Isn’t this very helpful knowledge? After all, scouting is important. We don't have scouts, so we're weak in this area.."
"Hero’s party? Are there any elves?."
"He's a magic swordsman. I can't shoot a bow."
"No, does it make sense for an elf to not be able to shoot a bow??"
Are you talking like a blacksmith who can't hold a hammer? But Zeke's expression contained neither a joke nor a lie..
"He's quiet at school, but he's very talkative. Since he was still young by elf standards, he only learned swords and magic in his hometown. They said they couldn't use the bow because it was stuffy.."
"It's truly amazing. Shouldn't we ask the empire to find at least one person, even if it means thinking about it later??"
"For what? It's here."
When he tried to pat me on the back with a trusting smile, I hurriedly walked away and said no..
"The hardships are clear, but are you saying you're crazy? Don't even dream."
"Anyway, your goal is going to be difficult, but wouldn't you be able to achieve it faster if you come with us??"
"Do you know when the warrior will go to the front and wait for it? Even if it's only next year, I'm planning to receive the Wandering Knight's Distinguished Service Medal and then go looking for that guy's whereabouts.."
"Hoo. That's right."
I had a strong feeling that I had made a mistake due to Zeke's sudden reaction with his eyes flashing, but we were able to proceed to the center without any particular incident. I found traces of a couple of orcs or an isolated group of gnolls, but since there was no reason to fight in the first place, I just moved around and avoided them..
Although I am breaking the path, it is actually no different from cheating. I can confirm that what I learned from Asilie works well anytime, anywhere, so there's nothing wrong with me, but it's a bit disappointing that she ends up being so bland..
Still, it seems like this is being broadcast live like a hologram through a crystal ball or something, so it's clear that they will find it boring to see us moving forward..
"It sounds like fighting."
While we were moving calmly, and the three pieces of luggage were holding their breath in extreme tension, we faintly heard the sound of weapons clashing somewhere in the distance..
"Is it a monster or a person??"
"I might be able to tell if I were in the forest, but I'm also human, so it's hard to tell here.."
The echo inside a dungeon or cave is too strong. Elves and dwarves can easily tell the difference, but I can't go that far..
"In the end, it is a road that will pass. What are you going to do??"
"Are there any options??"
"There is an option to rush forward and surprise an opponent in the middle of a fight, or wait until there is a sign that the fight is over and then approach and attack them.."
"I think the latter will be quite fun, but will there be terrain worth hiding in and observing??"
"So, should I just go until I get close, take a look if the terrain is good, and attack if it doesn't??"
"I like that. let's go!"
I also can't stand watching fights and fireworks..
Moreover, it may not be a fight between experts, but a fight between underclassmen who are less skilled than us? I can assure you that it will be such a fun experience that you will want to sell your soul to bring even the non-existent popcorn..
Zeke, perhaps because he had similar sensibilities to me, grinned as he lowered his body as much as possible, kept his voice quiet, and followed me toward the place where the noise originated..
As the sound got closer and closer, it became clear that it was human combat, and when our anticipation reached its peak, we realized that a battle was taking place beyond the wall blocking our path..
"under. It's a shame. There doesn't seem to be any space to sneak a peek.?"
Zeke, who was looking around with me in fear that the battle might end in the meantime, asked with disappointment. And, very sadly, I too had to come to the same conclusion..
"Anyway, things like this don't always go as planned. I can break through this wall.?"
"Shall I crush you or crumble you into dust??"
As expected, I responded with confidence as I drew my sword towards him, who showed a confident attitude as expected of a person well versed in magic..
"Of course, you have to smash it to the point where it gets hit by the flying fragments.."
"okay. If you want to make a surprise attack, you have to do that.."
Zeke smiled showing his teeth and took out his sword, so I smiled as well and adjusted my posture..
They say a surprise attack is always right.
