I felt someone shaking my body while I was sleeping. As I opened my eyes in a split, a pair of eyes were clearly looking down on my face. The landscape of the dark forest of dawn entered into my sight. Because of being in the middle of the forest, a cold chill hit my whole body. After turning the power of the body for a while, I circled the senses of the body, and raised my body. My head was clear enough to be refreshed and I felt good.

"There was no abnormality up here. right?"

"Yes.There was none. I slept nicely."

An Sol calls me big brother when we are alone, but when we are with others she calls me brother(formal). It was a bit awkward. I felt like having received one tacking really well. I looked at her who lowered her head, and said h.e.l.lo politely in a Korean manner.

After I responded with a soft smile to her greetings, I pulled my collar and turned my body to stretch. When I turned my head back, An sol was biting her lower lip with a lingering face. She
seemed to have something to say to me. I cut in gently asking,

“Huh. An Sol. Do you have anything you want to say? ”

“Brother… I… ”

Hearing my question, She still looked at the ground, avoiding my gaze. But within a moment She bit her lips and lifted head with a spirited determination. I did not know what She was going to talk about, but I also relaxed a little and waited for the next word.

“… wee… want to do.” (Tl note: i really don’t get this part)

“… … ”

“I was too scared to go alone … I’ll go with you. ”

“… Come on. ”

I shook my head in denial. But this time, An Sol did not back down. Despite my decisive Refusal, An Sol had not let go of her hand gripping my clothes as she pouted. I was about to pull myself free, at that moment i could see the glare in eyes of An Sol.

In the end, I decided to take a step back. But if you look at An sol, you could not help doubting it. It’s been over three months since I came into the Hall Plane, which means that An Sol is a 20-
year-old. Of course, it is not so young, but She showed immature behavior at times.

I was not the only one who found his behavior sometimes very strange. I did not know at first glance, but as I spent a certain amount of time with An Hyun, Yoo-Jung and An Sol, and more I felt that her behavior was strange. In the past, Yoo Jung has been asking for An Hyun once, but then An Hyun avoided to answer. It seemed like there was something he wanted to hide. I promised I would ask again later if I had a chance, and then I stepped in the camp with An Sol.

“It would be a bad idea.”

“… … ”

“An Sol?”

“Brother… Can you leave me and go a bit further? ”

“I’ll stay still. Do not worry.

“I’ll surely believe it. Really. You promised. ”

An Sol asked two times and then took off into the bushes. I took the cigar out of my bosom and bit it with my mouth. When I lit the fire and sucked in my breath, I heard the sound of clothes
rustling, which fell from the inside bushes. Soon after I heard the sound of p.i.s.sing , I felt awkward. Either way, it was not such a pleasant to listen so I sucked in the cigar heavily.

Within seconds, I heard the sound of walking on the gra.s.s. From where i was it was bright enough to see her return.

“Thank you ah.”

“Ugh. I do not like it. Only the playing child brings nuisance repeatedly, then is ruined.”

“He he. I’m sorry Oh. ”

When I saw her take it lightly, I turned to leave by turning and An Sol came into my arms. When I saw An Sol so suddenly, I dropped off the tobacco cigar that was in my mouth. Why does She suddenly run aggressively? is it fun to see my embarra.s.sed face. An Sol lowers her face in her chest gently.

“Brother.”

“Yep?”

“Honestly… Yesterday, I was a bit scared. ”

“… Yes?”

After all was it so? It seemed cruel to have been stabbing the knife in the neck because I thought it was a little annoying. I still quietly waited for the next word because the body of An sol in my arms was not shaking as if she was scared of what happened. An Sol, appeared as she was enjoying in my arms. After a while, said with a cautious voice.

“Nevertheless… The brother is always strong and sweet. If it was not for brother, I would … ”

I watched An Sol playing with her hairs and I sighed inside. But it was also true that she now feels strange holding her.

The woman in my embrace will be a famous user in future who becomes a brilliant priest later on. Her reputation was so great that there was rumor that enshrined An Sol. she turned around Odin clan, in a gathering of top-level users from across the continent, it was such a great honor.

I have worked hard in my own way, but it was true that my reputation and ability of my own are not the opposite. As such, An Sol was a user at the height of my position at the time, and it seemed like a strange feeling of encroaching on the fact that he was so enthusiastic and relying on me now.

I was drawn to such a mood, I held her in arms with my arms. She was surprised to see my action, and I was able to see her face slowly warming up. My left hand stroked her ears, right hand stroked her ebony hair, and I whispered softly.

“should I just let that female Vagabond yesterday live? ? So you’re scared … ? ”

Hearing my words, She shook her head sharply. My heart was ticking, but I smiled because my reaction came out.

“Uh huh … no. I will not be afraid. My brother did that. To survive, we have to be like Soo Hyun … Mind everyone to keep up. If it was not for you, we’d all be dead … . Unconditionally, just stick to our side and do as you please … I will believe you too. I mean, you too … Please do not abandon me. ”

Then. I realized the difference in words. This is what I am now sure is in their hearts of these kids. So far, if their att.i.tude was blind willing, it would have turned into a firm faith in the dark forest.

“I will not. And An Hyun is wrong. I do not want to do it, but I want you to think what you want to do and work hard together. This kind of foolish … ”

“I know. We know. But… I want to do this for a while. ”

I wanted to hold her for a little longer, but because I was not able to control her, she slipped off and nodded vigorously as She stroked her face again.

“I’ll do my best. I will not disappoint you … So… ”

“So?”

“Should not you be doing this a little longer?”

“… … ”

“Please pat my head. Come on. ”

An Sol, understood what I had in my affirmation. Looking at her, I shrugged her shoulder and lifted her hand. However, from today, I feel that the perception of me has changed significantly.

“How are you feeling?”

“Good. When I got up today and checked it, my durability was increased by one. I really feel like my body is so resilient. I feel more flexible than before. ”

“Fuhu. As for close combat, I also care about durability. Otherwise, you will become a free body. ”

“laughs”

An Hyun laughed pleasantly laughing that the fact that the stats went up was satisfactory. It seemed that An sol pouted her lip from the side, but it seemed to be good as well. And when I saw
An Hyun, I felt a little envious. I want to raise my stamina ….

If you are injured in excess of your ability limit, your durability may fall. However, if you are just over or just below the limit, you can increase your endurance based on the a.s.sumption that the treatment is perfect. If you break your bones cleanly, your body will adapt to the wound to some extent, just as it sticks harder when you attach it again.

I pulled the camp back, with An hyun, who turned the window and showed off the steadfastness of his body. And after simple cooking with the morning fix, we headed to the Alchemist’s dungeon.

I was convinced that the traces I saw at the beginning of the Black Forest were not absolute false trails. Now I am chasing traces of them. It seemed that it went in quite deeply as I saw that the trail did not disappear yet and continued.

Ebon forest from the mid-late part to the middle of the woods, it was a place where a lot of users could never see. Nevertheless, there was a high probability that they were going into woods in
groups I was guessing something about it being related to the dungeon of ancient alchemist Vivian.

“I feel like I’m ridiculous today. i have a feeling of being chased.”

Ahn Hyun, who was on the right border, walked forward and talked. Maybe it was because of yesterday wrestling with the crowd of wolves. As I was talking, I still opened my mouth to see An Hyun, who did not slow down.

“Certainly that battle was the most dangerous. It is not uncommon but it is not uncommon to come out as such. Anyway, once you finish your exploration and return, we’ll save your gloves. ”

“Gloves… ? Ah. Defensive? The basic armor received from user academy is wearing … ”

“It’s leather, so it’s hard to expect such a big defensive effect. It is better to have a chain armor or a scaly armor that is easier to work than a plate mail.

“Aha. I know a little bit of weapons, but I do not know about armor. I thought it would be nice to think about the battle yesterday. I can swing more easy as I do not need to worry to defend it … But I do not think it will cost you money to buy those things at once. ”

At the end An Hyun was very happy. A real armor was a truly reputable, most of the money that novice users earn can not afford. It is because one is to live and eat just one more day rather than buy an armor. Now that we are on our first expedition and we have new weapons, it will be a tremendous luxury to other novices.

“Surely. I can not guarantee that you will be able to earn a certain amount of money even if you are a skilled user, since you can not hit the jackpot in the middle. In the end, I will have to
gather money together from now on and prepare it one by one. ”

“Well, do not worry too much because you have a GP that was given at the rite of pa.s.sage.”

“impossible. I told you before, but that is really the last resort. Save the GP unconditionally. Maybe I’ll have to use it later. Let’s try it as it is now. ”

“Ugh. Money is a problem everywhere. ”

I had a taste of it, and I could already hear An Hyun, saying that I was an old man, and nodded. If you are the most suited to Hall Plane among the current group, you can definitely count An Hyun. I think his defense is weak during battle and I think it is worth it, he needs an Armour soon in future.

After spending a few moments with An Hyun, I activated the sensation and the third eye. As soon as the traces of the users who got in first became clearer, I could catch up with them in the middle of the day at the latest.

Of course, I did not even think about acting like them. We were fortunate enough to claim rights if we first found it. Existing users will know the right to the first discovery. But I did not worry about it when I thought I did not find it first.

< p="">

Three in total. No one should have one. What do it mean … .>

The original Alchemist dungeon was not revealed at this time. Two years later I found out the cave of screaming, and remembered that it was revealed a few months later. But if the current caravan finds the alchemist’s dungeon. And if my expectations were right, they were soon to be killed. Perhaps it was likely that they had failed to capture the dungeon and were all wiped out in it.

If they find it first, they can step back. I’ll take a seat around the dungeon and wait a few days and I’ll see them turned into bodies. Rather, it may be easier to enter later if you treat some
traps or monsters at the entrance. Also, if you keep the equipment they have, you will get a pretty good profit.

After I finished my calculations in and out, I started to make my feet even more busy. I wanted to proceed with the dungeon and explore the ruins of the research lab and caves of screaming. The kids came after me to speed up without knowing what will come after ..
