Chapter 97 – 094 Wayford Labyrinth Barracks
Hwanin, who had sufficiently looked around the vacant lot forming a kind of market, next entered a bar near the wall surrounding the labyrinth barracks.
As soon as you enter, a loud noise hits you. It’s 10:00 a.M. And the place is already full.
= Welcome! Are you the only one?!=
“Yes.”
= I will guide you to the seat! =
Hwanin, following the cheerful waitress and looking around her, admired the atmosphere inside the bar, which was completely different from what he expected.
‘It’s neat.’
Even the inside of the bar and the employees walking around it are more than enough to give a passing score by modern standards.
Looking at the image of the times, dim light sources such as candles illuminate the dark interior and people are reminded of the image of people whispering in a gloomy atmosphere.
Several wooden chandeliers on the ceiling light up the interior brightly, and people enjoy cold beer and snacks in simple clothes, and some people drink alcohol in armor as if they came straight from the labyrinth.
There were many people wearing the same cotton shirt and pants, but Hwanin intuitively noticed that they were soldiers.
‘The atmosphere has to be good.’
In this era, if you are a soldier, you can see it as a vested class.
They look like they are enjoying their drinks innocently without feeling harsh, but the customers who visit the bar can’t be polite.
When I sit down in a single seat at the bar, the waitress bows and asks loudly, as if to say hello, because the surroundings are noisy.
=What would you like to order?!=
Because her upper body was bent down, the front of her round neck shirt stretched out, exposing her deep breastbone, but Hwanin asked without even looking at it.
“A cold beer. I would like the snacks recommended by the young lady.”
Ting, heat. When I flicked a coin of iron, the employee’s face brightened, and she answered by bending her waist vigorously enough to make her heart thump.
=Your order has been received! I’ll bring you something especially cool!=
This is a world where tip culture thrives.
As he entered the bar, he was a Hwan-in who, with his keen eye, caught people paying a piece of iron coin as a tip.
I gave a piece of iron flower as a tip for the liking work, but seeing that he likes it so much for 1,000 won, I feel that the difference between the rich and the poor touches more deeply.
Anyway, after waiting for a while, the waitress brought a 1,000cc tin glass with light ice and a side dish of stir-fried meat cubes with vegetables.
=Then enjoy your meal! If you need anything, call me again!=
“For awhile.”
Hwanin raised her hand before the waitress left. The waitress, who has already received a big and beautiful tip, quickly clings to Hwanin’s side like a cat smelling churro and gently wags her long, thin tail.
‘Come to think of it, his ears are similar to those of a puma.’
Is it a lioness and not a cat? Placing one more hot iron shoe in the palm of the waitress’ hand, I asked several questions.
What kind of monsters appear in the labyrinth where light does not reach?
How many people usually make up a party?
What kind of professions are involved and how deep is the labyrinth?
Who is the strongest in the Labyrinth Barracks and so on.
“I’ve heard rumors about the barracks commander, but are you really that strong?”
=As a 7th grader, you are the one who single-handedly subdued the 6th grade deformed species. Your lieutenant, Artip Acre, is also a 7th grader, but he is still not close to Gilliam Chaport’s 7th grade Musong. Because he is Seongju’s right-hand man and also the commander of Wayford’s army. =
“Compared to Admiral Hayern Joad?”
= Shhh…… ! Sir, it is dangerous to say such words here! To the soldiers, Gilliam Chaport is a hero?!=
“Ah…… Yes.”
The waitress left, saying she had to stop working, and Hwanin gulped down the cold beer as if his lips were freezing.
The heavy taste along with the strong hop aroma pours into the throat with the cold air.
Hwanin, who emptied half of his glass at once, smiled as he felt a brain freeze and an ice cream headache.
Refined wine and single malt whiskey were served at hotels and Susa’s house, so it was a long time since I had such a cold beer that would break my head.
“…….”
Gathering good information for employees is difficult. Also, those who work in related fields are the best.
Hwanin pondered for a while as he dipped the still-warm meat cubes with vegetables and stood up after making a decision.
‘That party looks good. Everyone is professional, has a good expression, and is neatly dressed…… Even the weapon worn on the waist is well-maintained.’
The feeling of being a basic person comes through.
“Excuse me.”
After examining the faces of the seven men and women, Hwanin secretly took off his hood and blended in with them.
It was quick to become friends with them.
After passing the drinks and snacks all the way, introduce yourself as a scholar who traveled from far away and say that the workers at this table looked like great adventurers, and you’re done.
At first, it was a little awkward, but with the living and conversational skills learned while working at a company in the district, people soon opened their hearts to the stories soaked in the story when I slightly adapted the story of meeting Urger near Wayford from the labyrinth reflux phenomenon that occurred near Leheel. .
After getting close like that, they moderately raised their pride as professionals and lightly sprinkled rice cakes called vs. Arguments or the strongest argument.
How strong should a 3rd class job be?
How many Class 3 dimorphs can a Class 4 job really deal with at the same time?
Level 5 fought against dozens of demon beasts…….
While the female workers just laughed and talked softly, the men started to pour out saga stories about how strong the 3rd class workers were, who killed what and how much, but I caught more than that, according to the sad instinct unique to males.
It was the same with the material related to the 4th grade job, and when the story moved to the 5th grade, even the people near the table where Hwanin was sitting intervened and the debate started to heat up.
If you’re in 5th grade, this should be enough. A senior instructor of a certain military officer broke through to what floor in a certain labyrinth. A 5th grade warrior fought and defeated three high-ranking military officers…….
So far, this has been an argument based on experience. It is a category of discussion that maintains its own rationality.
Hwanin poured boiling oil on it.
The atmosphere was raised even more by serving a few glasses of cold beer with white bubbles boiling to all of the people who had a heated discussion that made their faces red.
People whose rationality is paralyzed by alcohol are like a fandom having a set-up fight. Some of their idols, level 6, said where and what kind of fight, they are a fan of someone in level 7, but someone beat Hyung-jong, level 6, somewhere. He started unraveling the rumors like he was a peddler.
It is a world without TV or Internet.
As such interesting and interesting stories of the world he was in flowed out from here and there, even the women who were sitting there pretending to be pretty and pretty started to join in, and the atmosphere started to heat up even more.
Wahahaha~!!<brhaha!
Kyaa~!
Hwanin, who had retreated to a corner of the bar by the entrance, was absorbed in his thoughts as he watched the drunken people in the bar laughing and talking.
‘There are more rumors about Level 7 than I thought. To the extent that not only professionals but also ordinary people roughly know…… But it’s hard to hear even the slightest rumors in the 8th grade.’
At that time, people who brought percussion and string instruments from somewhere started playing music, and when the accompaniment started with a black retro punk feel, people’s happy faces and great cheers burst out.
As excitement began to fill the bar uncontrollably with a thumping sound, the red-faced drunken women climbed onto the wooden tables and began dancing like a club dance.
All women in this world are beautiful.
As these beauties dance to music and cheers, the men clap their hands, whistle, and even clap their hands in cheers.
“…… ?”
For a moment, the atmosphere was so heterogeneous that it made people mistakenly believe that they had entered a modern day club.
The moment the girls, who had been club dancing amidst the sound of heart-rending music, took off their tops and took off their bras to reveal their raw breasts, Hwanin thought the bar would explode with a roar.
Thumps like club music and women’s hoots like deafening cheers from people.
The women with their breasts uncovered perform an intense dance reminiscent of Girl’s Love, and the chandelier on the ceiling flicks off and red, blue, and yellow lights start flashing alternately, and the atmosphere heats up and boils.
After a while, brute men and women began to dance and play under the tables as if it had become a club.
Hwanin was surprised to see people with such heightened emotions and took another sip of beer.
And I was lost in thought as I watched the women on the tables in the center of the hall entangled like slugs.
The strength of the 7th grade job is generally similar.
It is mainstream that they are strong enough to fight against a large 6th grade heteromorphic species alone, and among them, it is considered that they have reached the limit of 7th grade if they fight alone and win against a large 6th grade heterogeneous species.
‘It’s a comparison method that has nothing to do with Earth, so it doesn’t feel right.’
Roughly compared to the soldiers of Earth…….
Excluding the operation method, in terms of simple power, I don’t know about the 1st class, and the 2nd class is about a soldier holding a pistol.
Class 3 submachine guns or rifles, Class 4 anti-tank missiles?
Starting from grade 5, it feels like the disease type itself changes.
A 5th class warrior or fighter is an armored vehicle. Hwanin guessed that the 6th class would be a small tank and the 7th class would be a heavy tank.
The 8th grade felt like a fighter jet just by hearing the story.
It is said that if a war breaks out, one 8th grader will change the game of the battlefield where about 10,000 troops are mobilized.
Levels 5, 6, and 7 also differ significantly depending on the level, but the level 7 and 8 feel like the difference between heaven and earth.
If there are a lot of 6th graders, the 7th grade will win, but the nuance that the 8th graders will not win no matter how many 7th graders gather is said by people, so it won’t be wrong.
Hwanin’s conclusion from the strongest argument was that such an 8th grade would be so few that Luke and all the races combined would be counted on one hand.
Wayford is a small town. Above this is the mid-level city and then there is the Chengdu. Excluded because the capital serves as the capital.
There is only one 8th-grade silent castle in Farhist, which can be said to be the top city in Wayford.
There are several more in the capital city, but Hwanin predicted that there would be at least one 8th grade member per saint. Around the capital, there will be three or four people, maybe even 9th graders.
It was Hwanin’s groundless intuition. I thought that was the only difference between small and middle-class cities.
Thump thump, thump thump-
In a short time, the bar industry itself had changed. The waiters had already moved the tables away and left the center of the bar empty for patrons to dance and play.
As soon as Hwanin made eye contact with the waitress who was performing a slight shoulder dance while watching the people dancing nearby, she raised her hand slightly.
= Yep! Did you call?!
“Do you have the bill?”
=Wait a minute!=
After a while, Hwanin, who received the bill from the first employee who greeted Hwanin, paid for the drink at the counter and left the noisy bar.
She bought nearly 200 drinks, but only came up with about a silver coin. In Korean money, it is about 1 million won.
‘Is it like 5,000 won per cup, 5 rows of iron? Considering the place value for a good dark beer, it’s not that expensive.’
= Hey The atmosphere in the bar was right. Let’s go.=
=Wow, I can hear the sound from here. Bar owner, did something good happen today?=
As Hwanin walks out of the barhehears conversations with people passing by.
Anyway, thanks to staying at the bar for about 2 hours, I learned about the difference in strength between the classes of the occupations, including information that could be obtained outside the labyrinth.
I spent 1 silver coin for it, but it was not a waste.
Because information about the strength of each grade and individual is treated as very sensitive, there is no choice but to obtain it by rolling the field for a long time, except when being trained in a military officer.
The level of danger of the labyrinth, where light does not reach, was just as expected.
Based on the information I got from time to time while building common sense in Wayford, the numbers I expected were mostly in line with the story of a waitress at a bar visited by many professionals.
The depth of the labyrinth, where light cannot reach, is the 17th floor.
The forest spreads inside the labyrinth from the 16th floor, but the stairs to the 17th floor are blocked, and it is said that the Wayford regular warriors are stationed nearby.
It was to prevent any strangers from destroying the labyrinth by breaking the heart.
‘I have a few questions, but I’ll check them out later.’
To go down to the 16th floor, five level 4 workers who have adapted to the labyrinth can go down enough.
The map of the labyrinth is also complete, so you can get a map from the 1st floor to the 15th floor by paying only 5 rows of silver coins.
Infested inside are a lower invertebrate heteromorphic system and a bipedal heteromorphic species with a height of about 1m. And an inverted object that appears very occasionally.
‘They said you only need to have antidotes for neurotoxins and blood poisons, low-to-middle and disease cures. As long as Isilite and I…….’
Assuming you’ve finished your preparations, you’ll be able to go down to the 15th floor.
You won’t be able to experience as much blood as a third-class labyrinth like a 4th-class labyrinth, but this might be a good first experience of the labyrinth.
‘No, I already had my first experience in the 6th grade forest labyrinth…….’
To be honest, I didn’t feel like it was a labyrinth because I couldn’t tell where the labyrinth was and how far was the outside.
I just felt that I had made it through the rough terrain where there were a lot of monsters and beasts.
= There! The black hooded cloak that goes ahead!=
Hwanin, who was heading to the only entrance to the Labyrinth Barracks to return, turned around whenheheard a specific call from behind.
There stood a wolf-headed man in dark gray fur with a bright expression on his face.
He was dressed in what he might have bought at a high-end men’s clothing store in the main street, and was wearing a warrior’s aura, but thanks to seeing thousands of faces every day in Wayford, Hwanin, who was able to identify his age at least roughly, noticed that the other person was too young even if he was young. .
At most, they are in their late teens, maybe in their mid-teens.
‘Are they the children of the same family?’
When Hwanin stops, a man approaches with a happy expression and says,
= Oh, of course! You’re the one who beat the senior martial arts instructor with a skill at the senior military officer in Heyern.=
“It’s an embarrassing topic to answer with my own mouth.”
= Well. If it were me, I would have been spreading rumors for a long time to make it my career, but you are also humble.=
The expression on the expression of the gray man-rang tribe, saying that, revealed the thought of ‘this is the person!’.
Hwanin did not understand that well.
Pretending to know in front of the labyrinth seems to be related to the labyrinth. Looking at this reaction, it seems that they are trying to ask for the teaching of technology.
‘I’m sure he’s not suggesting a party.’
= The introduction is late. My name is Resim. It is a swordsman. Nice to meet you.=
“It is called Hwanin. As you can see, I have nothing else to say.”
In response to this reply, the Gray Yinrang tribe, who introduced themselves as Resim, smiled as if it had nothing to do with them, their white teeth shining.
‘The clothes and equipment are very good. Are you going to ask for guidance on defense?’
I don’t think there’s any reason to talk to me if it’s not that reason, but sure enough, Reshim politely asks for it.
= Do you have any time? If you allow me, I will buy you lunch.=
If an ordinary professional had spoken to him, Hwanin would have politely declined.
However, the three elements, the young man, the unusual attire, and the manner in which he hadn’t heard a few times during his stay in Wayford, aroused Hwanin’s curiosity.
It is a question of how he found himself.
“I can’t say no because I’m curious about what you’re trying to say.”
= Ah……Haha, I don’t think it’s a bad story for Hwanin-nim either! Anyway, it’s not something to share here, so I’ll guide you.=
