Chapter 869 – 869. Hero Academy (6)
Before entering the dungeon, Seo had a meeting in the underground facility.
The people gathered at the meeting were Moon Joo-ah, Kang Han-na, and…
“What… ? Is he going in too?”
“…”
It was Lena wearing a cape.
The meeting started with Moon Ju-ah’s grumbling.
“You know, when you sneak in like this, there’s nothing good about having a lot of people. Your skills and only me as a guide are enough.”
Moon Joo-ah expressed her opinion in order to somehow leave Lena behind.
However, Moon Ju-ah’s opinion was only her opinion.
“No. You must take Lena with you.”
The dungeon we are about to enter is a new dungeon that has just been discovered, and enemies have already settled in and are waiting.
In other words, in terms of risk, it meant that it was a more dangerous place than the headquarters of Evrica, which had been terrorized.
And above all, he did not intend to take Lena with him only considering the danger.
The biggest problem is…
“If you go in today, you never know when it will come out.”
It was a period.
“Fatigue is more of a problem than skill.”
If Moon Ju-a and I went in alone and stayed in the dungeon for more than a few days, there was a high possibility that we would get tired quickly and face a real dangerous situation.
To prevent that, the minimum number of people had to be set at three.
Munjua understood my words, but she grumbled as if she didn’t like it.
“I don’t sleep much…”
“I sleep a lot.”
“…”
So, while covering Moon Ju-ah’s mouth, she decided to accompany Lena.
After that, she started going through basic meetings.
Most of it was the information of the tower search party that Moon Joo-a found out.
The tower divided the search party into two squads.
It was an advance team led by Yeriel and a second team led by Seong Soo-ah.
The advance and follow-up groups each consisted of twenty people.
“I haven’t been able to find out the exact list.”
“That is enough.”
It wasn’t empty talk.
Even if only the information Moon Joo-ah found out, she was such advanced information that neither the current me nor Kang-han could know.
When Moon Ju-ah’s reporting time was over, she received a unique item from Kang Han-na.
“What’s this?”
The object Kang Han-na handed over was a transparent jewel the size of an egg.
Strong I let me cook a jewel-shaped egg, and she started explaining things.
“It’s something that neutralizes cubic.”
“Oh oh!”
That was good news.
I’m strong. Recently, she didn’t sleep well and researched about cubic.
So immersed in her research, I didn’t just find out her information about cubic, she even made an object that neutralizes cubic.
Unfortunately, this item was not finished.
“It is not yet finished. The activation range is small, and the operating time is not long. The range is about 20 meters, and once used, it lasts for about 30 seconds.”
“How many times?”
“Five times. You can’t charge it, so you can think of it as a consumable.”
Even if it was consumables, I wanted something.
Since I use the magic circle, I am not affected by the cubic at all, and I didn’t really need the thing Kang Han-na gave me.
But other wizards here tell a different story.
Cubic, which makes mana out of control, was dangerous enough to turn not only the tower, but also all existing wizards into unemployed.
Something that can neutralize such a cubic… Having it will come in handy in an emergency.
“Thank you.”
“It is my job. What~”
“Okay then let’s go.”
After receiving the cubic neutralization item from Kang Han-na, me, Lena, and Moon Ju-ah headed straight to the dungeon entrance.
Jua Moon, who knew the location of the dungeon entrance, took the lead, and me and Lena followed.
The place where Moon Joo-a entered was a mountain… It was also a dense mountain untouched by humans.
As soon as Munjua entered the mountain, he told me and Lena the precautions.
“Reduce crowding as much as possible. It’s a place where people don’t go, so if it feels like you’re there, you’ll consider it an enemy and attack.”
Lena and I looked at Munjua and nodded at her.
Moon Joo-a smiles at my nod…
“… Tsk.”
At Lena’s nod, she kicked her tongue and started to lead again.
I put my hand over her forehead and spoke to her over the phone.
‘Lena, I’ll apologize instead.’
[It’s not something the owner should apologize for. I don’t really care, so don’t worry.]
Lena told her about her experience of being abused by demons and gaslighted by nobles in the past, and replied that she didn’t care at all.
For Lena, Jua Moon’s disregard for her would be child’s play compared to what happened in her past.
[In addition, that woman is helpful to the master, so I don’t mind at all.]
‘Haha…’
After passing through such a small incident, Lena and I continued to follow Jua Moon.
And at the place we arrived…
“Here.”
Along with the entrance to the dungeon, I was able to find the guys guarding the entrance.
I tilted my head at the guys patrolling the dungeon entrance.
“Is it smaller than I thought?”
The number of guys guarding the entrance to the dungeon was exactly three, a small number for those guarding an important place.
Moonjua started her explanation in a small voice.
“It’s because it’s a remote place.”
The dungeon is divided into outside and inside based on the entrance, and the moment you take even one step into the dungeon, the appearance disappears, and you cannot exchange any communication with the outside.
So, when attacking a dungeon, people are provided at the entrance like that, both inside and outside.
And when there is a problem inside, the insider comes out and informs the situation, and when there is a problem outside, the outside person goes inside and informs the situation.
“In addition to those guarding the entrance, there will be others waiting inside.”
Even if someone surprises them, they will go inside and join the internal standby team.
In that case, the internal waiting team will inform all members of the organization about the surprise by communication.
If that happens, our plans will be disrupted.
Moon Joo-ah laughed and asked me quietly.
“You know, the moment you miss even one person, it will be annoying. By the way, I have the confidence to subdue all three at once.”
Moon Joo-ah waited for my answer with a triumphant expression.
She probably wanted a favor for herself.
But you don’t have to…
“There is no need to strain in a place like this.”
I stretched out my hand toward the three standing guard at the entrance…
“Kuhhhhh…”
“Uh… ?”
Dump!
She cast sleep.
They fell to the floor and started snoring in an uncomfortable position.
Seeing me like that, Munjua clicked her tongue.
“Sheesh… She tried to warm up her body a bit before entering the dungeon…”
I tried to ignore Munjua’s grumbling and moved towards the entrance of her dungeon.
As I looked down at the three of them who were sleeping peacefully snoring, Jua Moon, who was next to me, asked me with her lips pouted.
“Should I kill you?”
“Not now. You check your surroundings first.”
At the entrance to the dungeon, supplies such as food were piled up.
I wasn’t particularly interested in their supplies, but I thought there might be some important items or documents.
Even as Munjua pouted her lips, she nodded her head right at my command.
“Okay.”
“I’ll check it out too.”
So, Joo-ah Moon and Lena quickly began searching for supplies around them.
While the two of them were checking their surroundings, I cast a dream on the sleeping guys.
The useful information that all three of them found was the password.
“The password is ‘today’s side dish’, ‘jelly’.”
It was a code for communication.
Moonjua, who had been scouring the surroundings while I was dreaming, sneered at her as soon as she heard me.
“The password is disgusting. The side dish is jelly.”
“Is there anything gross?”
Yes, it would be terrible if jelly came out as a side dish…
Moonjua shook her head and explained to me the meaning of her password.
“Jelly is the slang we use to call the Tower Wizard.”
“Her…”
Sorcerers who use multi-colored, muddy magic… He also explained that it was a remark that disparaged the wizard belonging to the tower.
In other words, the meaning of the password is…
“You’re saying you’re going to kill the top guys today anyway.”
“…”
It was meant to be very nefarious.
In the past, I wouldn’t have worried at all.
The members who entered the dungeon must have been skilled in their own way at the top as well.
In addition, it was Yeriel and Sung Soo-ah who led them.
But now, on the contrary, I began to feel uneasy about the fact that two women had entered.
“Let’s go in quickly.”
I thought there was no need to delay any longer.
The two of them wouldn’t get hit as soon as they entered the dungeon, but the guys who were aiming for the two had a means to neutralize the wizard.
After hearing my words, Juah Moon and Lena nodded.
Before entering, I explained the situation inside to Lena and Jua Moon.
“There are three guys on standby right now.”
The currently gathered gang members were gathering from here and there, so they gave off a slightly ragtag atmosphere.
And the guys guarding the entrance were different organizations inside and outside.
“They’re wearing decognition cloaks, so we’re only identifying them with passwords.”
“It’s really lame.”
Moonjua smiled dejectedly and lowered her head.
Then he hit the face of a guy who was sleeping soundly on the floor with his shoe and asked.
“What are these guys doing?”
I took a step forward with my right foot and opened my mouth.
“Kill.”
As soon as I answered, I went inside the dungeon, and I couldn’t see how Moon Jua dealt with them.
It wasn’t difficult to enter the dungeon.
Originally, I should have been attacked as soon as I entered, but the inside waiting team saw me wearing a cloak and mistakenly mistook me for the outside waiting team.
After putting the careless guys to sleep, I went through their belongings.
Unlike the external waiting team, the internal waiting team had a communication device to communicate with the members who entered the dungeon.
“Hey… Long time no walkie.”
It was a simple walkie-talkie, not a consulate’s smart watch or a high-end machine used in large guilds.
Moonjua, who entered the dungeon after defeating the outside standby crew, explained to me while shaking off the blood on his hands.
“In a place like this, simple is better than feature-rich.”
It was a crappy radio, but a simple radio like this worked better in a place like this.
No matter how good the battery efficiency of the smart watch provided by the consulate is, it will eventually have a duration.
On the other hand, a walkie-talkie just needs to replace the batteries.
“In addition, sophisticated machines tend to leave traces of the organization.”
“But…”
Guys who work in the shadows aren’t stupid either.
If possible, you will want to use a device with many functions for mission efficiency.
But while such a machine might be efficient in use, it was enough to endanger the organization the moment the user was caught.
A total of three radios were stolen by the internal standby team.
After taking one, I handed one to Lena and Moon Joo-ah and said in a firm voice.
“Come on, let’s go in quickly.”
Then, he killed the internal waiting team and officially started entering the dungeon.
