Chapter 184 – Control

It seems that about a week has passed since I wandered through the labyrinth.
In the meantime, I’ve dealt with one more dimensional rift.
I caught a few mid-level corrosive monsters and gained 13 more skill points.
With this, 29 extra skill points.
32 points for just 3 more.
It becomes a skill point enough to increase physical strength.
It’s a story that you only need to catch 3 more intermediate level corrosives.
Unlike the first time, the dimensional rift dealt with this time gave 3 skill points. From my point of view, the crack grade seems to be the same, but there is a difference.
I don’t know what standard it is.
It seemed that there was a calculation method unique to the system that I was not aware of.
The end of the labyrinth was a cliff.
I turned south along the cliff and searched.
Looking at it, you can guess that the 10th floor of the labyrinth is made up of a huge cavity.
‘By the way… Is it time to go back soon? Should I come and find it next time?’
It’s a lack of skill points. I thought I’d fill it up somehow while returning.
It is such a wide place.
Trying to find the entryway all at once can be called greed.
As expected, as the week goes by, the will becomes weaker.
It was also great that there was no compelling reason to find an entry passage.
If you have to find the reason, the Transcendental Body?
Random box with unknown reward.
No matter how bad it was, there was an expectation that something good would be given rather than the reward of the highest level of erosion.
Even if you could get around comfortably because of the carriage, it couldn’t be more comfortable than a mansion where a maid helped out.
It won’t take much time to return compared to the time spent wandering around.
It was because Ayla was there.
As she said, returning to the fort would take no more than two days, she said.
She boasted that finding her way was no problem as long as she was there, so she seemed to have a secret trick.
It’s not about how to keep a woman’s secret… But if you ask, he’ll teach you.
It wasn’t curious enough to pry.
Even if you hear it, you may not understand it.
Marie seemed to like the drone quite a bit.
As if she had the talent, she was accustomed to piloting a drone even while walking.
“Master. I found a suspicious place.”
Mari, who was scouting the surroundings with a drone, spoke. She went to her side and looked at the screen she was filming with the drone.
An artificially created structure was visible on the gray screen that is characteristic of an infrared camera.
“Is that a wooden fence?”
A wooden fence made into a semicircle attached to a cliff.
If you look closely, you can see people standing guard over wooden fences.
“Is that also made by the lord of Slubber?”
What made it so misleading was that there were several buildings that could be inhabited inside the fence, which seemed to have been made with a considerable amount of manpower.
“That… It won’t be. If the lord built it, the Adventurers Association would have told us about it.”
Still, Marie knows the world better than we do.
Her words were believable.
She took a closer look inside her fence with her drone.
A huge cave was visible under the cliff surrounded by wooden fences.
In a way, it looked similar to the Labyrinth Fortress built by Lord Slubber. However, it was much smaller and seemed to have been built only to block the cave in the cliff.
‘Could that cave be the entrance to the 11th floor of the labyrinth? Did they block it like that?’
In order to stop the monsters coming out of the cave…
It didn’t seem like it.
It looked like the troops on the wooden fence standing guard were watching to see if something was coming from the outside, not from the inside.
‘Huh? Could it be…These guys?’
Giant adventurer guilds and clans control information.
But is there a law that only controls information?
… There is no need to conclude that it is already bad.
It is not too late to check and judge.
The door to the wooden fence was closed.
Above it, two people were standing guard.
One was an ordinary person in flimsy armor.
The other was a guy who knew how to handle Auras wearing well-fitting armor.
Are you an adventurer too?
As we approached, the one who knows how to handle auras asked.
“What is going on?”
I don’t know if the cave behind the wooden fence is real or not.
I decided to stab it once.
“We are going to the 11th floor of the labyrinth.”
“These are the people I couldn’t see. Where do you belong?”
“I am an adventurer.”
“Adventurer? I asked where he belonged.”
“Belong? Why do you ask that?”
“Why…”
The guy on top of the wooden fence rolls his eyes and scans us carefully. And when I look at my women, it catches my eye.
“Okay…I’ll ask the manager.”
The man says so and nods his head to the guy next to her.
The one who was instructed hurriedly disappeared behind the fence.
It seems that he went to call the manager.
The conversation with the gatekeeper gave me some confidence. That the huge cave behind the wooden fence is the passage to the 11th floor of the labyrinth.
-That’s it.
By the time you start to yawn.
The door of the wooden fence opened.
And there were about 10 armed troops standing there.
Looking around, I didn’t see any troublesome wizards.
The smiles on their faces looked too fishy to see that they came out as a group to greet them.
(These guys have been around for a long time.)
(What kind of woman does she take with her so many? Thanks to that, she looks good. Whoa.)
(He’s more conceptual than I thought. Giggling.)
At the front, a man wearing luxurious armor, who appears to be the leader, takes his weight and looks over us as if judging us.
“Good.”
The guy who said that was looking behind me, not me.
“I want to go to the 11th floor.”
“Yes.”
His eyebrows twitch.
“You’re a spoiled brat.”
That guy… Doesn’t seem to have much difference in age.
“It is not that there is no way.”
“What is it?”
“You are going alone. If you leave the women behind, I will let them go.”
“That is absurd. Do you think I will listen to that?”
“It’s not something you listen to, it’s something you have to do. It has already been decided.”
“…Could it be other adventurers?”
“I’m sorry. Because this is our job. Think of it as unlucky.”
Say so, but
There was no regret on his face.
“Women we take good care of. Since you look strong, you will be cute on the 11th floor.”
Then it is.
If you think about it, there are many adventurers, but it was strange that during this long time, other than these guys, no one had information about the 11th floor.
The conclusion is one.
Either they captured humans with information.
Or ‘processed’.
Looking at the current situation, the latter seemed closer.
My prediction was correct.
Also, these guys…
They were controlling the hunting grounds.
Unpleasant memories came to mind.
It reminded me of a game I had to fold because it was messy with the control of the hunting grounds of a giant guild in the past.
They said you have to join a guild to enter the hunting grounds.
So, I joined the guild.
But I couldn’t go to the hunting grounds.
They say that newcomers who have just entered are not allowed or something.
Even in the game, I had no desire to bow down to people I didn’t even know.
That’s how the game ended.
At that time, I had no strength, so I just stopped playing the game.
If I had been beaten now, I would have gone to Hyeonpi right away.
I thought it was going to be an information monopoly, but…
Controlling the hunting ground is crossing the line.
It’s a labyrinth where you pay the same amount of money to use it, but what do they control? Tsk tsk
Somehow, among the adventurers I met after entering this place, there were no normal ones.
How will we do it.
“What have you guys done to the adventurers who came here!! No, how could a human being do such a thing!! Aren’t they people who seek adventure together!!”
To do image making for Eileen.
I try to imitate a plausible good adventurer.
Eyes are felt
Eileen’s bright gaze…
“Adventurer… It’s unpleasant to see them in the same class with the adventurer registration that the association provides for dogs and cows.”
The leader said with a smile.
“Poop!!”
“Ku-k-k-k! Let’s not be the same adventure seekers.”
“That guy is a complete jerk. It’s kind of funny now.”
They giggle and laugh at my wonderful lines.
These guys… In front of the disciple…Just overthrow it?
It was time to think like that.
– Phat!
Ignis, who was next to me, disappeared in an instant.
Then, she appeared in front of the guy who was giggling at her and coolly punched her.
– Whoops!
The guy who flew off his chin rolled excitedly on the floor.
Ignis’s sudden rush.
“Ho, Hawk!!”
A startled colleague runs over to the fallen man and examines it.
“Lord, he’s dead!!”
Hearing that cry from a colleague, the arch-adventurers get agitated.
“These rogue bastards! You guys are not the ones to insult. The lord is the one who will save this world. How can these filthy bastards insult such a lord!”
-Thud.
Ignis slammed the floor with his spear and screamed.
‘Gu, I have no intention of saving…’
“This year! Hawk!! Porridge! Kuck!”
Ignis’s spear was stuck in the head of the guy who was vomiting anger at his friend’s death.
“Kill!!”
With that as their starting point, they rushed at Ignis.
I ran with good spirits, but
Her one-sided slaughter began.
“What, what! This crazy bitch! This is not a year to deal with moderately! Go, be strong!”
– Pooh!
The guy on the wooden fence blew his horn in surprise at Ignis’ divine power.
Then, inside the wooden fence, adventurers started to come out of the building.
It wasn’t going to end well with them anyway.
I did not expect such a sudden development.
Ignis’ loyalty was higher than I thought.
