Chapter 180 – Exploration

The Labyrinth Expedition was formed.
The members of the Labyrinth Expedition.
Luna. Isla. Eileen. Number of animals.
And now Ignis in the hero’s resting place.
Liliana says she doesn’t go because she studies my blood.
Are there any achievements?
As she went out to ride the carriage to depart for the labyrinth, she saw an unexpected face.
It was Albert.
“What are you doing?”
“Master. I also want to attend Master.”
I couldn’t believe it, but it seemed like a story that followed me to the labyrinth.
It was absurd.
The place we want to go is not the shabby 1st floor where he wandered, but the deep floor.
Albert, who couldn’t even handle magical powers, was nothing but baggage.
A man being a burden… Just thinking about it was terrifying.
They said that if the favor continues, they will become Douli.
The guy was doubled.
Did you hear from Eileen that she goes to the labyrinth?
“It seems that my words sounded funny.”
“Yes?”
“Did you build the house I told you to build?”
“Ah, not yet…”
“Her! Do you think of following along without doing what you have to do!! Are you satisfied with your disciple? I put a lot of thought into putting together an educational program… Who is this Goyan?”
“I’m sorry. Master.”
Perhaps he thought he wouldn’t be rejected out of the blue, and when he got scolded by me, he lowered his head in bewilderment.
This is why guys with no concept.
“I’m sorry, is that all?”
“No.”
“This is out. Isn’t it?”
“Hmmmm.”
I eagerly searched for Albert, but came to my senses when Ayla cleared her throat.
“Kuhm! He even gave me precious pills and was considerate of me. He didn’t even finish the first training I gave him… Heh heh, he’s a greedy guy.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Done. You, who can’t even handle magical powers, are just a burden. Do you think I will take you? What a disappointment. Albert. I hope you don’t disappoint me anymore.”
“Keugh. Sorry. Master.”
After being scolded by me, Albert finally burst into tears.

Pamper Albert in a good mood.
We rode the wagon driven by Marie and headed for the labyrinth.
Luna and Ayla were each checking their weapons.
Eileen’s face was a bit sullen.
Albert seemed to be bothered by his confusion.
‘Tsk tsk. It’s because I’m so weak…’
While moving in a wagon.
I picked up the paper with the information Marie had brought and looked it over.
The 12th floor is known as the deepest part of the labyrinth that adventurers entered.
And the teleport magic circles were installed in two places.
5th and 10th floors.
There were various monsters that appeared, but the difference was that from the 10th floor, medium-sized monsters that did not appear on the 1st to 9th floors appeared.
If we were to estimate the size of the medium-sized monster from the 10th floor, we could see it as the C-class of the original world.
While I was looking at the labyrinth information, the wagon was running hard and the building was built on top of the labyrinth.
Arrived at the labyrinth management office.
Only the horses were left at the management office, and the entire wagon was put in the inventory.
The wagon that Liliana remodeled is itself a good resting place.
I was thinking of using it instead of a tent in the labyrinth.
The goal of this labyrinth exploration was to find the access road on the 11th floor. I thought I could test out the party skills in the meantime.
The problem is the entryway on the 11th floor.
The information on the location of the entry passage was not simply obtainable.
As it turned out, there were a few adventurers who formed and raised quite large guild-like things among themselves.
The access road on the 11th floor was tightly hidden as if they had a monopoly.
So, I was only able to figure out which direction I was going to be in.
Ant adventurers like me had to find it on their own.
There were other ways.
You pay a high price to the huge adventurer guild that has that information.
However, the information usage fee was quite expensive.
And he said that he would resell the information so that he could not even invest.
After all, this world was also rich and poor.
I had enough money to buy information, but somehow I hated making them hungry.
It was dirty and mean, so I thought I’d find it myself.
It’s not urgent, I wonder if it will come out if I look for it while earning skill points.
“Which floor would you like to go to?”
A room with a large magic circle drawn on it.
The middle-aged wizard who manages the teleport magic circle asked.
He was in the 3rd circle.
Well, there’s no way a mage above a lieutenant would do such a thing.
“The 10th floor.”
“Choi, you mean the deepest layer?”
The wizard was surprised and asked again.
“Yes.”
Didn’t you see us at that level?
The wizard had no eyes to see.
That’s why he couldn’t grow in the 3rd circle.
There are no conditions to enter the 10th floor.
If it’s a condition, I’d say that you have to carry plenty of gold coins.
“Ah, I see. Teleport is 10 gold per person.”
50 gold in total.
Not even a round trip.
It was a one-time use fee.
It was expensive.
However, the adventurers who went in and out of the 10th floor were people who earned that much.
After paying gold to the wizard, we stood on top of a large magic circle.
The magician’s staff glowed and the teleport worked.
The feeling of teleporting was a little similar to the feeling of logging in, but also seemed different.
Soon, the same scenery with only the people changed greeted us. If the wizard who manages the magic circle hadn’t changed, I wouldn’t have known it had moved.
Get out of the teleported building.
A village with a dark but bright strange landscape welcomed us. The sky was like looking at the dark sky at dawn.
Rather than being in a labyrinth, I felt as if I had come to another world.
Previously, Liliana said that the space of the labyrinth was distorted. So it might be a really different world.
Well-built wooden buildings.
A lot of people walking through the dark streets.
I was expected to be an adventurer. Their attire was neat and luxurious.
There were quite a few knights and lieutenant wizards.
In terms of games, like a hunting ground for high level people, talented people were walking around.
Inn and pub.
I saw things like shops.
I heard that the price is very expensive.
Rather than a village, it felt more like a downtown area full of shops.
A town built around a teleport magic circle.
A thick wooden fence surrounded the village.
And on top of that wooden fence, the soldiers standing guard.
I heard that the lord made a bold investment and put his heart and soul into the fortress.
I poured quite a bit of gold into it.
They say they are pulling out that much now.
Our group drew quite a bit of attention.
It must have been my physique, and the fact that everyone except me was female must have played a part.
I had no intention of looking around the fort.
I decided to explore the labyrinth in earnest.
The outside of the fortress was surrounded by a forest made up of trees never seen before.
“Previously.”
My companions looked at me with puzzled faces.
Open the door to the Hero’s Rest and summon Ignis? Did.
Ignis appeared out of thin air, fluttering her gorgeous red hair.
“Uh, luck? This, this person?”
Ayla asked in surprise when she saw Ignis leaping out of the air.
“It’s a summons.”
“A cow, a summoned beast? I, a spirit?”
“You could say something similar.”
“Hmm. Are they Master’s colleagues? Nice to meet.”
Ignis crossed his arms and spoke confidently.
“Lord. What am I going to do?”
“We have to find a passage to the 11th floor in this labyrinth.”
Then, using the Party skill, I invited Luna, Marie, and Ignis.
〈Luna, Marie, and Ignis sent a party invitation.〉
The girls invited to my party stare into the sky.
“A party invitation?”
“Hmm? Unho What is this?”
“Master. A strange text came to mind.”
“It is my magic. Accept all.”
“Is this magic?”
〈Luna joined the party.〉
〈 Marie joined the party.〉
〈 Ignis joined the party.〉
“Since the message transmission function has been opened, it will be possible to communicate without problems between party members through text messages, even if they are a bit distant.”
“…It’s really amazing magic.”
Luna said in admiration.
“Do not enter.”
We moved into the forest shrouded in darkness, led by Ignis with a shield and a spear.
Eileen, who was walking next to me, was very nervous.
The child who was wandering around on the first floor of the labyrinth suddenly came to the tenth floor, so she was natural.
He lightly stroked her anxious head.
“S-Master…”
The direction was set to the west.
In the information that Marie brought.
It was written that the entrance passage on the 11th floor was expected to be on the west side.
Should I say it’s fortunate that I can still get a general direction rather than heading to the bare ground?
No change in weather.
There is no night or day.
There was no change in this twilight brightness.
What floor is the Overmind on?
It was clear that the deeper the floor, the stronger monsters appeared.
However, looking at the attacking state of the adventurers, it seemed that they hadn’t encountered a high-level corrosive body yet.
There weren’t as many monsters as I thought.
Is it because the adventurers took care of everything?
It is a place that has been attacked over 10 years.
A place close to the fortress may have formed a safety zone to some extent.
After moving for a while, we thought it was the right time and decided to take a break.
I took out a wagon from my inventory.
“Master’s sorcery is amazing.”
Seeing that, Ignis admired it.
Everyone went into the wagon and ate until they were full.
It was when I was sleeping comfortably.
“Someone turned off the magic alarm.”
I opened my eyes at Luna’s words.
