# 26
26. Paid 5-streak (1)
A few days later.
[Form a party.]
[Drag and drop heroes!]
[‘Dica( )’ joins ‘Party 1’!]
Dika joined the main party.
“i look forward to!”
Dicka bowed her head to me with a firm expression.
After the deaths of Gide and Hansson, he was depressed for a while, but he seemed to have recovered somehow. These days, he has been participating in training along with Aaron and me.
The sky is shining.
It meant that the master was connected.
“Today is not a day of the week dungeon.”
Aaron straightened the spear nervously.
The members called by Isel are me, Jenna, Aaron, and Dika. It could be said that he was the main combatant in the current waiting room.
Dika was weak compared to me, but better than the other members. Most of them were staying on the first floor.
When going to dungeons every day of the week, sub members were mixed, so even these guys could see the master’s intentions.
[Open the space-time gap!]
The door in the center of the plaza opened with a bang.
Tension appeared on the faces of the group. Even Jenna, who was always relaxed, had a hard expression on her face.
“What are you so afraid of?”
“The 5th floor wasn’t that hard. I thought I was going to die.”
Aaron wept.
“Don’t worry. Nothing special this time.”
“Is that true?”
“…Really.”
“Looks like there’s a gap in your answer!”
There is little chance that a high-difficulty mission will take place in the sub-stage, but it cannot be 100% certain. That was the rule of Pick Me Up.
I took a step inside.
Three soon followed.
I didn’t fill the prescribed party, but it doesn’t matter.
I took a light deep breath.
[Climb the tower and save the world!]
[Main Dungeon: Current number of floors to climb – 5]
The left mirror in the space-time gap began to glow.
It was a signal announcing the entry of the main dungeon. Tension rose again in the complexion of the party members. In particular, Dika was trembling as she clenched her sword and shield.
How Gide and Hansson died was not disclosed.
Soon the light went out and we entered an unfamiliar place.
[Floor 6.]
[Mission Type – Search]
[Objective – Search an unfamiliar place!]
‘The field is a forest.’
it’s an exploration
Another rare mission appeared.
Once I looked around.
The enemy is invisible. There was only a field of grass swaying in the wind.
“Tongue, brother. I can’t see the enemy. This can’t be like the 5th floor…!”
“quiet.”
Aaron nodded his head, becoming a honeyed mute.
“Don’t raise your voice. Everyone lower your head and bow down.”
“…”
“I told you to bend down, I didn’t tell you to lie down.”
The party members stood up awkwardly.
“There’s nothing special here, so relax. If you fulfill the conditions, you can break free.”
“yes.”
“Wait a minute. I’ll be right back.”
After having the three hide in the grass, I fell to the side of the road.
After a while, I felt like I was blocked. It was a point of no pass.
‘It’s a straight map.’
Follow the path through the middle of the field and you’ll reach the event point. Returning, I instructed the party to proceed off the road.
“Are you sneaking somewhere?”
Jenna said as she removed a blade of grass from her hair.
We made our way, hiding in the grass by the side of the road.
Jenna, who has the best eyesight, took the lead, followed by me.
“It’s similar.”
“This is not my temper.”
Gossiping, Jenna made her way through the grass.
Soon after, a guest appeared.
Three goblins stood in a circle on the road.
“Keru, Kyaarlak!”
“Kira, Kiraroro!”
The goblins were chatting among themselves.
‘What is he saying now.’
They were different from the goblins they had fought.
Muscles were attached to his thin wrists, and his body grew. The clothes that were no different from being naked have also changed. He was clad in leather armor, albeit flimsy, and carried a sharp sword and shield.
[Goblin Lv.8 X 3]
“Can I kill them, brother?”
Aaron gripped the spear tightly.
“wait.”
I looked at the goblin’s outfit again.
A small horn hung from a leather belt around his waist.
I pointed to a tree by the grass and said.
“Jenna. See that tree over there?”
“Yes, I can see it.”
“Climb up to the top of the tree and see what’s there.”
Jenna quickly climbed the tree.
Jenna returned after a while.
“It looks like there’s a goblin colony. There’s a building inside the fence, and there’s a lot of them gathered inside.”
“How many?”
“Well. About a hundred?”
composition was identified.
It was a trap pattern of sorts.
The ignorant heroes follow the road and meet the goblins and immediately engage them in a fight. It’s always been like that in previous stages.
“Jenna, the goblin on the far right. When you signal, shoot and kill.”
“yes.”
“Aaron, if I lure you in, put a spear in his head.”
“All right.”
“You…”
Dicka looked at me with expectant eyes.
“If the situation arises, help us.”
“Yes…”
I want to give a role, but there is nothing left.
Exploration gives almost no experience anyway.
I lay down and picked up a small pebble that was rolling in the grass.
puck.
The pebble hit the back of the head of the goblin who was standing awkwardly.
“key?”
The stoned goblin walked towards the grass with a puzzled face.
Tuk-tuk.
I weakly tapped the dirt floor with the scabbard.
Sensing the sound, the goblin came closer. By the time the goblin’s familiar smell approached the tip of his nose.
“now!”
Zena’s arrow pierced the rightmost goblin’s forehead.
Aaron’s spear pierced the goblin’s face in the grass from the front.
The remaining goblins freaked out and pulled out their horns.
Jumping out of the grass, I ran and hit the goblin in the face with my shield. The goblin tried to blow the horn somehow, even as it scattered its broken teeth.
“Byong…!”
I kicked the horn and drove the sword into my left chest. The goblin slumped, unable to even scream.
When the sword was drawn, sticky blood clung to it.
“Shut up, are you done?”
Dicka came out of the grass.
A look of bewilderment was evident on his face.
“Roughly.”
After answering, I brushed off the blood from the blade.
All three goblins became corpses. No one had succeeded in blowing the horn. I said, touching the horn lying on the floor with my foot.
“If you let this flute play, reinforcements will come in droves from the village earlier. Then it must have been quite annoying.”
If you thought it was a subjugation mission and rushed at it, a trap would be triggered.
A message appears indicating that the mission has been completed.
[Stage clear!]
[Reward – 5000G]
[MVP – ‘Han( )’]
Gradually, the light began to surround the body.
“Oh, is it over already?”
Jenna blinked.
We were slowly engulfed in light and disappearing.
“It’s not over yet.”
I ran down the road
Before returning to the plaza, there are things you need to know.
Why is this mission called Search?
‘Get information.’
This is because hints for the next stage are given.
Since exploration appeared, it cannot be a single mission.
It’s a random configuration, but nothing is unpredictable.
Based on the previous mission, based on the background and environment, I was able to indirectly know what fields and missions would appear.
Exploration is just an odd task that seems to be given for free to beginners, but it is different for experts.
I ran at full speed and looked around.
The body is slowly fading. I had to get as many hints as possible in it.
indeed. No matter how much I ran, the front was not blocked.
A scene caught my eye through the jagged trees on either side of the road.
It was a flimsy wooden fence about 5m long, and in between the gaps, shabby huts were huddled together. Dozens of goblins roamed around the hut.
‘It’s a goblin village.’
It is the town that Jenna saw.
I ignored it and continued running. Soon after, a second goblin colony appeared.
‘Is it a goblin mass habitat?’
In this village, goblins were dragging wolves.
If a goblin rides on that wolf, it becomes a goblin rider. Due to its unique mobility, it was quite a troublesome individual among the Goblin series.
“key!”
I just happened to meet a goblin’s eyes.
The goblin ran towards me with a life force, but collided with a transparent wall and collapsed.
I can’t go there either, but he can’t come here either.
Right now, that village is just a background that can’t be interfered with, but it won’t be in the next mission.
I continued running along the road.
Soon the forest was cleared and the plains emerged.
My eyesight was clear, so it became clear. The entire forest was a goblin colony.
Maybe it feels more like an outpost than a village. The goblins were busily preparing something, such as making weapons, wearing armor, and taming wolves.
Dozens of goblins cling to the borders of the map.
They screamed strangely at me from inside the wall.
didn’t care much I’ve seen enough of this.
The body is on the verge of disappearing completely.
I upped the pace a notch.
Running at full speed, I soon spotted a city built in the distance.
And right
back to the gap in time and space.
“Why did you run alone?”
“Let’s go look outside.”
I got as much information as I could get.
Now it was time to devise a strategy for predicting the theme of the chain quest based on the scene we had just seen.
It is to catch what is commonly referred to as a ‘clear estimate’.
In the case of a special dungeon that pops up without any warning, you have no choice but to send out an advance party and try to hit it, but in the main dungeon, there are quite a few cases where hints come out.
The flow of linked quests that starts before exploration is called a stream.
Analyzing the stream was also a master’s competency.
‘It’s frustrating.’
I don’t know if what I saw was conveyed well to Amkena.
Even if he did, it would be nothing special at this point when facilities and heroes are lacking.
I didn’t think it was time for the stream to come out yet, but it came sooner than expected.
When I came out to the plaza, Chloe came running in a hurry.
It was a strangely restless look.
“Ha, Mr. Han, I’m in big trouble!”
“What?”
Chloe, who is busy preparing more than 10 meals a day, rarely comes out to the plaza.
The big brown eyes were shaking.
“What’s up, sister Chloe?”
“I-that’s… Strange people come…”
“Have strange people come once or twice?”
Apparently, Amkena did a lottery while we were out on missions.
In addition to the 10-year lottery I did last time, Amkena often draws one or two people at a time. “I used to bring in castle heroes.
Still, missions are progressing, but I’m not picking them up.
I frowned.
It’s a bad habit to lose sight of doing the main dungeon.
“They seem to be a bit different. I
have a weapon, and the atmosphere is strange,”
Chloe said
with a teary
face
.
A message came to my
mind. It was printing out the past.
I ordered the woodworking shop to process tree branches and sent a 3-person sub-party to the 2nd floor. Then.
I slowly read the log.
