Chapter 157 – 153 Stupidity = Gottmogg’s Prison Labyrinth
Hwanin, who left Kurti at the Que management office near the warden, walked with his party to the northeast of the city where the prison labyrinth was located, to the white wall of the white circle.
Anne, wearing a cloak that she says she wears after ordering about 10 handmade ones because there are no ready-made ones, says in a relieved tone.
= Because there is an emergency, it is good that the body is light =
Quet.
The party’s luggage was stacked neatly on the back of the emergency room.
A bag containing the belongings of Hwanin, Isilite, and Anne, a preservation bag containing food materials to be used in the labyrinth, a subspace bag full of firewood, two purified water bags, and a bag containing various camping tools.
There were no pockets for carrying by-products.
I plan to visit the 1st floor for 2-3 days, but the by-products of heterogeneous species from the 1st floor are of low quality, and most of them are rotten weapons and armor with corpses.
The workers say that they take care of the iron bars that are regenerated in the labyrinth and the material of the wooden structure, but Hwanin thought to simply pack a few things.
Lee Hyeong-jong’s phase stone, a luminous stone that is said to emit light when embedded in a wall, and a treasure chest.
These three things can only be obtained if you’re lucky on the first floor, and they’re small, so you can fit them in the bag you’re bringing.
Thanks to this, the party was able to lighten their bodies.
When Anne first met her, she was wearing a striking war hammer, gray full-body armor, and a gray cloak.
Isilite wears a similar cloak over her chain-iron armor and deflects her heavy-iron greatsword, while Hwanin wears a gray hooded robe with a black-grey leather top and bottom, holding a soul stick like a cane.
Anne, who was glancing at the black spear filled in the emergency saddle, stood next to Hwanin and asked.
= But the boss. That black spear isn’t an ordinary weapon, where did you get it?=
“The spear blade was made by grinding the molars of a wild boar, which was called holy water. It was a white wild boar shooting lightning, but I wonder if it wasn’t a 5th grade. Spearhead robbed what Hob was carrying around in the 6th grade forest labyrinth.”
=A white wild boar that uses lightning, there are really many strange beasts in the world……. So did you feel the strong force in the window?=
After listening to Anne’s self-talk, Isilite asks = Strong power? = And she adds her explanation.
=You know that phase stones give options to weapons and armor like sorcery or magic tools?=
=Yes.=
=When you grow up, you will be able to feel the phasic power of such weapons and armor.=
= Ah. Did you mean that you can feel the power like a magical weapon from the master’s black spear?
= Yes. If that’s the case, I think it’ll be 4-5th grade. The ax worn around the waist isn’t much better than that, but I feel a little power.=
“…….”
Until then, Hwanin had some doubts about the fact that his spear would exert its power even against a level 3 or higher monster or a level 5 Urger.
Until today, I just used it thinking that good is good, but thanks to Anne and Isilite’s conversation, I found the reason.
‘Is that why he easily cut off the outer skin and hide of the heteromorphic species?’
If so, Huini of Yulkam Village, does that mean that Sister Ennel’s father made it into a magic weapon?
I tried to recall what the sisters’ father, Belbido, said, but it was ambiguous. It was an attitude that could be interpreted as meaning that he made a magical weapon, and vice versa.
But he saved his two daughters and brought them back. It would be no wonder that Belvido, feeling grateful, gave all his strength to make a magic weapon.
Around that time, as the white circle wall began to be visible over the roof of the building in the distance, Hwanin called for Anne, who was talking to Isilite and her whispers.
“Anne.”
= Huh?”
“When entering, act as if you are the leader.”
= Hmm? Is it because you don’t have an aura?=
“Okay. If an unemployed person is the leader of a party, you might end up getting into trouble one way or another, and if you look at it normally, you’re the leader.”
Among the three, Anne is the tallest and has the best equipment, and her aura is as deep as a 6th grade.
In addition, the shape of her aura is also different from her normal projection. The aura of an ordinary fighter is a form that swells like a wave, but Anne’s aura is a form that spreads out with a certain density like fog.
At first glance, it was an aura that looked like a halo, so if you put it on as the face madam of the party, it would be a figure that would do its job well.
“Being able to bring an emergency is something that deserves attention. It’s better to pretend that you, a 6th-class sex fighter, are the leader in order not to attract suspicious glances.”
Her Hwanin’s explanation was so easy to understand that it fit right into her head, so Anne nodded her head without question.
= The captain says so, but I have to. But I think it would be no problem if the captain was the leader?=
“Why?”
= First appearance. If you look at the captain’s face, he honestly looks like he’s holding a high official position or doing a head job. And that wand doesn’t even look like an ordinary wand. After all, everyone will see you as a lawyer?=
“I usually wear a hood, so my face is never exposed…… Are you a lawyer?”
At first glance, when Hwanin raises his doubts about the name, which sounds like a term for an internet game, Anne brings up her story with a face of ‘You don’t know that either?’
= A sorcerer is a person who awakens to deal with the eight attributes and learns to drink, right? A mage is a person who realizes phase power and uses magic only with knowledge and will. This is the basic of the basics…… Oh. The captain said he came from somewhere else.=
= I didn’t know…….=
Isilite muttered next to her, but Anne pretended not to hear and glanced at her Hwanin’s attire.
=But the captain’s equipment is more like a warrior than a wizard. If that’s the only thing, you won’t be able to say that an unemployed person enters a labyrinth, or that an unemployed person takes a colored Que with him. Even wizards secretly enter the labyrinth following the professional.=
“…… What is Musa?”
=Those who have not awakened as melee workers, but who learn and train martial arts.=
“…….”
Thinking deeply, Hwanin told me to wait for a while, went into an alley out of sight of people, and came out after a while.
“Does this seem okay?”
And Anne and Isilite opened their eyes slightly wide in surprise at the sudden change in Hwanin’s appearance.
= Oh. What. Your impression changed all at once?=
= Master, that figure is also cool…… You are like a wizard.=
It wasn’t any special magic. He took off his black-grey leather jacket and put on only a tight-fitting suit vest.
The shirt he was wearing was not the round-neck linen shirt worn by ordinary people, but a black shirt with a slightly glossy collar that Isilite had purchased at a high-end clothing store.
The dark gray leather vest and leather pants are handmade products made by Ryuhi referring to the suit worn by Hwanin.
As a result, it was a design that was not common in this world, and the texture felt more like a mage’s attire to get some defensive power than a leather suit for battle.
Since he is holding a stick-like soul stick here, in a good way, the sense of heterogeneity blends with Hwanin’s appearance, creating an intelligent feeling.
= Yes. Cool. In particular, the fact that the leather pants are moderately worn gives the feeling of being a veteran. The captain’s way of speaking is also on the old-fashioned side, so I think most of those who approach nonsense will be filtered out.=
= Master. Try this hooded cape too. Then I think I can save the atmosphere while hiding the facial features.
I take the dark gray hooded cape that Isilite took out of the subspace pocket I bought from Wayford and use it instead of the gray hooded robe.
= Hey, it’s much better than before. Right now, he looks like a mage who feels a bit confident in melee combat.=
“That’s it. I also lead.”
After a while, Hwanin, who arrived at the tall, white wall, ran into another soldier at the doorway, and was able to pass through the doorway without being suspicious, just as Anne had said.
And in the plaza in front of the labyrinth, Hwanin felt a different gaze from when he entered Wayford’s labyrinth.
=That outfit…… I feel something.=
= It’s leather pants, but the texture…… Did you tan the skin of the Yukes Warlock?=
= That’s right. It is not possible to implement the unique dense tissue texture unless it is Ukes leather. But I thought the vest was also Yukes, but it’s not.=
=Aranod’s black cougar. Those delicate pores and elasticity are the only ones.=
=I’m really curious where you got the product that smells like a luxury product.=
= That guy dresses well? Just by looking at his chin, he seems handsome, so try talking to him once?
= Quit it, you crazy bitch. Can’t you see the female warrior next to you? I’m several times prettier than you, but can you catch my eye?
= The male side looks like Fleur? I don’t like Fleur like a parasitic brother.=
= Not really. You’re not good to that man. =
= Has this bitch been hanging around since earlier? =
= Right. Don’t take your anger out on us for breaking up with your boyfriend.
=I told you not to talk about that bastard!=
It is mainly about clothes, clothes, and appearance, but there is a difference between the voices and perceptions of the unemployed, who is leading the workers, and whether a rich old lady came to play in the labyrinth.
= Huh. What race is that person and how big is that?=
= I don’t think it’s with Luke…….=
=If you have a physique like that, your strength must be amazing.=
= Hey Isn’t that girl over there so cute?
= Wouldn’t it be nice to go into the labyrinth with such a cute kid? It will be good. Envy =
=Why is our party only with sick boys? Why don’t you take the girl to the party?=
=It’s because the leader is a eunuch.=
= Shivalum. Can you hear everything?=
Other than that, it is full of professional workers who are horrified or envious of Anne’s size, men who are haggard with Isilite’s appearance, and people who admire her flight and say that she uses a green Que as a wagon.
‘I can’t believe my eyes are distracted like this just by taking off my hooded leather jacket.’
Looking at the effect of the actual advice, I could see that there is a prejudice about appearance in this world as well.
As long as you have intelligence, you can’t get rid of the prejudice of judging by appearance. Thinking that way, Hwanin enjoyed the cool breeze blowing.
I took off the leather jacket that served as my armor, but there was no burden. This time, it’s because I’m only planning to support with soul arrows and soul explosions from the rear.
Rather, she took off the tight leather clothes and felt cool and light.
At that time, Anne muttered softly next to her.
=The atmosphere the captain said is bad, I think I understand.=
“Well. There are fewer people than yesterday.”
=How much?=
“About half. If this atmosphere continues, we might put restrictions on entry.”
= Huh? Then you can’t. =
Seeing Anne furrowing her eyebrows as if in trouble, Hwanin asked, recalling her schedule.
“Is there a deadline for the mission to purify the dead?”
=Not that.=
“Then?”
=It’s because I want to solve the mission quickly and enjoy the festival quickly. I heard that there will be a night march from a week from now. I heard it’s incredibly worth seeing. =
“…….”
= They said it was really hot a week before the grand festival. In particular, on the eve of the festival, men and women dress up in a procession, but they are all naked…….=
“…… So I want to play, so I want to solve it quickly.”
= Huh? That’s what it means, but…… Captain, aren’t you mad?
“I didn’t. Schedule management can be flexibly adjusted, so if there is something you want to do or see during the festival preparation period, find out in advance and talk about it. The same goes for Isilite.”
=Yes, Master.=
= He is also the captain. Cool.=
Anne, who gave her Hwanin a thumbs up, flirted with Isilite, who was walking beside her, poked her shoulder with her elbow and said that they could date her.
Isilite, embarrassed, glanced at the profile of her Hwanin and raised her fist, while Anne giggled at her and blocked Isilite’s fist with her palm.
The prank was over soon.
As she got closer to the entrance of her labyrinth, Anne threw off her light mood and began to show a heavy and serious attitude.
Hwan-in, thinking that she should be warned, thought that she did not get 6th grade by gambling, and she stood in the queue to enter the labyrinth.
30 minutes in line.
The front line waiting team entered the prison labyrinth hidden in darkness from the entrance, and the tired and annoyed soldier’s voice pierced Hwanin’s ears.
=Next.=
“Hello. You are suffering.”
The female soldier, who was peering into her thick list with her stiff face, glanced at her polite greeting and asked her expression slightly relaxed.
= Welcome. Are there three people and one dog?=
“Yes. The purpose is the mission to purify the undead of the group of saints of the Earth God.”
=…….=
The female soldier in the form of a cat looked at her Hwanin, Isilite, and Anne in turn, and stared at her last Anne for a while, then rubbed her crumbly face with one hand as if she was tired.
= You must have heard it yourself, but the current labyrinth state is not a word. Inside her, bitches who will stick with her father and fuck her are trembling, and her labyrinth is also in an unstable state. The three of you seem to be quite a party…… You don’t have to go into the cesspit, do you?=
It was a euphemism for delaying admission or looking for another labyrinth, but Anne answered instead.
= Purifying the filth is my job as a holy fighter of the earth god.=
In response to the profound reply, the female soldier scratched her temple with the back of her wooden pen and made her expression even more tired.
=…… When you enter, treat all humans except your party as enemies. It’s not a story about fighting to the death. If possible, it is recommended to stay on the floor near the entrance and leave the labyrinth immediately if anything seems strange. The entrance fee is 1 silver coin for three people, Kue…… Green Que?=
The soldier who noticed the color of flight belatedly raised his eyebrows again and said that the entrance fee to Kue is a five-year fairy tale.
After paying 3 silver coins and 5 ten copper coins as an entrance fee, Hwanin stepped into the prison labyrinth entrance…….
= I go in first. Captain and Dew come back in a minute.=
As she was about to step forward, Anne grabbed Hwanin’s shoulders from behind, raised her shield, and entered first.
“…….”
One minute the giant crouched down and passed through the wall of darkness. Hwanin also passed through the darkness of the prison labyrinth entrance.
‘This…….’
As soon as you touch the black darkness, the feeling of passing through something thick covers your body one after another.
Wayford Labyrinth or Level 6 Forest Labyrinth.
As he passed through the darkness, resisting the feeling that something thick was sticking to his body, the atmosphere inside the stone wall prison was completely changed before Hwanin’s eyes.
It’s not a bright level, but it’s not so dark that you can’t see anything.
A faint light comes in from somewhere, and you can see about 10m ahead. A very faint light is flowing on parts of the ceiling and the corners of the walls, so you can feel the overall outline of the passage or a sense of distance.
However, there were no luminous objects or luminous stones anywhere, so Hwanin slightly frowned.
‘Is this one of the strange phenomena of the labyrinth?’
Feeling the heavy air stabbing her lungs, Hwanin, just in case, grabbed the handle of a Celtic stone ax around his waist and approached Anne, who was looking at the T-shaped fork in the road 30m ahead.
Following this, she says she sees Isilite and Bisang coming through her entrance and pursuing them.
“Go down to the second floor. Stupid Gottmogg’s Prison Labyrinth, as I said earlier, will be called Prison Labyrinth. In the prison labyrinth, the formation is in one line, the front line is Anne, the middle line is Isilite, and the back line is me and Bi Sang.”
=Yes.=
=Yes.=
“When the Lee Hyeong-jong appears, Isilite should deal with it whenever possible, and the structure of the labyrinth is simple. It consists of rectangular rooms and passages, and there are places where the passages bend at right angles, so move carefully while keeping in mind the attacks and traps of human scum. Think of humans as the main enemy rather than heterogeneous species.”
=Yes.=
=Yes.=
After confirming that Anne’s eyes had changed to those of her fighter, she gave her instructions.
“Anne said that she can cure diseases 20 times a day, and she prepared a lot of disease cures and resistance potions, so I will decide to take resistance potions after checking the first battle and the atmosphere on the second floor. She also puts off using the consecrated mask for now. Then Anne, move on.”
=Forward.=
Following Anne and Isilite as they move slowly in a single file, the film examines the surrounding landscape and scores Anne’s actions.
She said, ‘I thought she looked down on her because she was a level 4 labyrinth and that she might act on her own terms…… Surprisingly, he obeys meekly.’
As if she wasn’t called the captain for nothing, she faithfully followed the instructions of the leader, Hwanin, even if it was a labyrinth that was weak compared to her own skills.
“Go left at the fork in the road ahead.”
=Left.=
It is also good to repeat the instructions. In the current situation where each other is not familiar with each other, reconfirming the instructions in this way is also an item to be highly evaluated.
Seeing a dark spirit floating right next to him, Hwanin gave an order to follow him and checked the condition of the wall.
A dark gray stone-brick prison. The floor seems to be weathered, and stone dust is rolling around, and spider webs are running around the ceiling and parts of the walls.
‘If you see spiders living there, it must mean that there are also small insects, and there are no dangerous environments in which life is difficult to live.’
I was concerned about where that little spider came in, but I have no way of knowing at the moment.
Let’s just remember…….
=Open the door.=
“Okay.”
Anne puts up a shield the size of a door, twists the handle of her door slightly, and pushes it open with her shield.
Ki-Ik-
In the dark room that opened with the screams of rusty hinges…….
Less so
There was a skeleton beast with a dog skeleton the size of a wolf.
[The atmosphere inside the prison labyrinth]
