1709 chapter 1709



"Too,"

 As she says this, Vihela, who was holding on to Seto's foot, descends to the floor of the dungeon.
 The inside of the cave was relatively large, and although the set had enough space to move freely, its height was not so high as about 3 meters.
 You may be able to fly a set with a little effort, but since it's only that high, you won't be able to imitate a blow from a high place that takes advantage of its falling speed.
 That's why the people who were holding onto Seto jumped in like they were jumping in from outside the dungeon.

"Well, as far as I can see, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

 muttered Elena, looking about her.
 with a slight frown at the sight of the bodies of two goblins lying on the side of the aisle.
 Vichela, full of anticipation that she might be able to fight against a strong opponent, opens her mouth with a smile.

"But this is still the entrance after all, isn't it?"
"The dungeon I tried before was flooded as soon as I went inside."

 Lerieu said so to Elena and Vihela's words, and those who imagined them looked disgusted.
 As long as I challenge dungeons, I'm not going to hesitate to get wet.
 Still, being in such a situation as soon as you enter the dungeon is quite effective in terms of discouraging you.

"I'm glad I don't have one,"
"Oh, the dungeon on the cliff wall is a little strange, but if you go inside, you won't know what's going on inside. So, Ray, what line are you going to follow? The party leader is Ray, so I'll follow the instructions."
"Well, first of all, the robber Bune,"
"Yes,"

 Bune nods expressionlessly to Ray's words.
 It was Ray who could understand the motivation, though he didn't express it.

"Next is Vihela."

 Vichela, who is supposed to be a fighting style, is not a person who should be placed in such a place.
 But it is also true that Vihela is the only one who can understand Bune's words correctly.
 Vichela's speed of movement is also fast, and anyone who seems to have a bad weapon can immediately go inside... within the range of Vichela's attack.

"Well, it can't be helped. Leave it to me."

 Vihela understands Bune's case, so she accepts it without any particular complaint.
 In fact, if the thief Bune finds a trap and needs some detailed explanation, someone needs to explain it.
 Regardless of whether you do it or not, in the case of a dungeon, whether you can do it or not can lead directly to life and death.

"And after that, Relieu,"
"Me? Honestly, I don't think it's going to help much if I'm in the middle."
"You have the skill of cutting wind, don't you?"

 Talking about Ray's skill in jumping, Rellie nods reluctantly.

"If you say so, that's fine, but ... you can blow off a certain amount of wind, but you can't do whatever you want. Just remember that."
"Okay, ... and behind him is Seto and Marina. Marina is capable of supporting him from behind because of her spiritual magic, and Seto is the bodyguard of Marina, looking for anything suspicious."
"Gruly!"
"All right,"

 Marina's specialty is the magic of the spirit, such as wind and water.
 In that sense, it is difficult to use water spirit magic in this dungeon.
 Still, it's a relief for Marina to have some wind coming in, partly because it's located high on the cliff wall.
 Of course, the magic of the earth's spirits can be used, if not as much as the wind or water.

"And I and Elena were the last,"

 In Ray's case, to be honest, he can do most of the work wherever he is.
 Of course, it's impossible to detect a trap like Bune.
 There are magic, skills, and throwing spears at long and medium distances, and close-range attacks are normal at short distances.
 No one disagrees with Ray's words...

"All right, then I'll go right away. I don't think I can capture Dungeon today alone, but I'd like to set a certain target."

 Rey nods and the party begins to advance through the dungeon.
 However, since it has only just entered, there should be no particularly large trap in place.
 Monsters such as goblins and cobolts appear, but if you knock them down and take out only the magical stones, they leave the body there.
 The only thing I could have done was knock down the oak and put the body in a mistling.

(Oh, but if we're knocking them down, will those waiting on the ground for the monsters to fall down... well, that's why I don't have the option of not knocking them down.)

 If you leave them alone, the monsters will attack the lays.
 Ray's... no, no one here has the option of not defeating such monsters and leaving them under attack.

"Yes!"

 Meanwhile, Bune, who was walking in front of him, muttered.
 Vihela immediately explains what it means.

"It's a trap,"

 Only Ray and his colleagues can understand the meaning of Bune's words in their own way.
 Nevertheless, Vihela goes out of her way to explain it because she can understand it in a certain way, but not in detail.
 You don't know what's going to happen in a dungeon.
 It's also important to know that there's a relative who's just met him.
 Unlike Ray, Lerieu had little idea what Bune wanted to say, so what he needed was a Vihela interpreter.

"The floor over there. Be careful, it sinks when you step on it."
"...what happens when you step on it?"
"Now? If you want to try it, why don't you try it? I don't want to."

 If Vihela says so, Lerieu doesn't want to try it either.
 shake one's head silently to urge someone to move on
 Don't step on Bune's instructions, go ahead... just a few minutes later, you'll see a Y-shaped road with a forked road.

"Where are you going?"
"Even so. I don't have any clue..."
"Yes!"

 Marina's words give Ray a little trouble, and Bune murmurs, pointing to the ground.

"The footprints of monsters, you know. As far as you can see, there are a lot of traces on the right aisle on the right."
"...are you?"

 If it's earthy or dusty, you'll find out how many footprints Ray has left.
 However, since this is a dungeon built on the cliff wall, the ground is naturally made of rock.
 Ray couldn't find any trace of how long the footprints were left.

"I don't know if I've seen it for a moment, either. ... It's small, but can you trust your skill as a thief?"

 Bune gives a heartless air of joy to the words of the impressed Relieu.In terms of combat capability, Bune is a pretty good thief.
 But as long as he was a thief, he could not help being praised for his skill as a thief.

"Well, that's fine. Which way are you going to end up with? More monsters or less monsters?"

 Ray is troubled by what he asks, but he makes a quick decision.

"Let's go to the one with more monsters. If there are more monsters, it's more likely that it's connected to other places. Well, I don't know if it's up or down."

 This dungeon was halfway up the cliff wall.
 In other words, it could be going down and up.

(If it continues up, I might as well go out on a cliff... as long as the space is not distorted, or something like that.)

 The reason why Ray thinks so is probably due to the peculiarity of being on the wall of a cliff rather than on an ordinary dungeon.
 In the first place, the dungeon Ray had been challenging so far could only be thought of as being spatially.
 There is a high sky inside the dungeon, where the sun and moon are located, and where the dungeon has a vast desert and a sun shining in the intense sunlight...
 Considering the circumstances surrounding it, it was inconceivable that dungeons in such special places were free from any abnormalities in space.
 However, this dungeon was probably just made, and it might not be that big.

"Well, I'm going to the right. ... I'm a little curious if there's anything on the left."

 Marina's words shake Ray a little.
 Among the games I played when I was in Japan, the genre called RPG often captures dungeons.
 In such cases, there were often treasure chests at dead ends, and when Ray played RPG, he covered the aisle as much as possible.
 Of course, if you were looking at the strategy book, you wouldn't have to worry too much about where treasure chests are.

"Ah... there might be something important, so shall we go to the left?"

 It was Ray's indecisive decision, but since no one thinks he can capture Dungeon today alone, he is allowed to move to the left without any problems.
 So we went to the left, where there was not much sign of the monster passing by... but within ten minutes we came to a dead end.
 However, there are some rocky plants in bloom there.
 Plants that grow in caves are rare, but not nonexistent;
 But it was the first time Ray had seen anything like a rocky plant.

"Does anyone know that?"

 Ray asks in the hope that someone knows what the rock plant looks like, but unfortunately no one answers it.
 Even Marina, a former guildmaster who has lived for a long time, has no doubt that the rocky plants in front of her are rare things.

"Then I'd better take this with me just in case. I don't know what it's worth."
"I suppose. But a plant made of rock, you know, ... in a place like this is not a stone statue made by someone."

 The marina muttered once again, looking at the rocky plants in front of her eyes, but Ray was the first to enter this dungeon.
 At least it's officially so.
 ...in fact, it's not surprising or illegal to have some high-ranking adventurer in it before the Rays get in.
 In the first place, the guilds and local governors did not issue instructions or orders to prohibit them from entering the dungeon.
 Cliff walls...just because they're on a steep or slippery cliff wall, no one could get into the dungeon, and if they had the means to do something about it like the Rey's, they'd get into the dungeon without any problems.
 It's not strange that such people should be ahead.

(I don't know why I wasn't interested in this rocky plant, though, if someone had gone in first... because it was heavy?)

 A ray with a mistling can be carried regardless of its weight.
 In that sense, you could say you were lucky to find rock plants here.

"Bune, I'm going to ask you, but what's the trap?"
"Yes,"

 Ray asks, because it was not funny to be caught in a trap when he approaches that rock plant, but Bune shakes his head.
 Check it out and see if there's anything wrong with the surroundings... even if it's not a trap, maybe there's a monster hidden somewhere, but there's really nothing there.

"Well, then I'll put this in, so please be on the lookout for me.

 Say so, Ray approached the rocky plant... and at some point, suddenly the leaves of the rocky plant flew toward him.
