For long time, we were able to move without any interference. As we entered the inner regions of forest of darkness, the foliage created a scene similar to dusk. The dense foliage seemed to occupy larger part of the inner regions. I moved quickly doing reconnaissance, to avoid any interruption, so we moved at faster speed compared to previous day.

“It is strange. I remember meeting a lot of monsters today in dream.”

“huff, huff, Dreams are the opposite of the original. Brother, can we take a break? It’s already half a day past, but we did not stop to rest even once.”

Ahn Hyun tilted his head, An Sol let out breathe. I do not say anything, but my face was whitish and my lips had cracks. Everyone was following me silently but meanwhile, but seemed to bear it tightly. At this point I felt the need to take a break somewhat and I nodded to them and looked around for a while. As soon i gave permission, I heard them falling onto ground.

The sign of caravan still remained. The fact that frequency of monsters is very low suggests distance between us and the caravan is decreasing. It is also possible that the preceding caravan has already defeated the monster. But it Still arises two questions.

If you had information about alchemist dungeons, you would have to go through all the surrounding monsters. Another is that if they fought a monster, why do not you see any body? or signs of fighting? Of course, the questions came in my mind and I can guess enough possible answers.

I pondered over it for a while then i did not think about it. Even if i worry now, it does not change the situation. The bottom line is to arrive at the dungeon of the alchemist following the trace of caravan in shortest time. In the worst case, they might not have found the dungeon, but they could have just come in to explore. But if I remember from my memory, It was more likely to be such. Moreover, we do not have much to lose, we can simply think of this as building up experience.

I was able to hear a little fuss from them, at the moment I had to sorted out the complicated thoughts and had a little rest. I turned my head to see what was happening, I saw An Sol looking for help with an awkward face.

“What a useless girl wonder. it is just good for you.”

“fool. Do not you know that knowing is power? This ignorant man. “

“There is a saying that knowing is power. But it does not go with what you say. You just do not know.”

“what?”

An Hyun and Yoo-jung were in dicussion For a while, it was about the gold lion clan and the steel mountain expedition which are the best topic now. I agree with Ahn Hyun when I think about reality, but I thought it was not too bad to talk to them at least once.

“Do you think that an expedition a.s.sumes the natural key to it with our ability now? If you go there, you will be upto nothing and only suck on your fingers and be watching from sides. “

“Who told you? So I wonder why you are going to go to the expedition and go on a march. Do what you say. “

“I told you. It’s because I’m curious. What did you hear brother Soo hyun say? Let’s take care of our situation now. Huh? Or do you have a inferiority complex?”

“what? Let’s see this, Mr…. “

When I felt the atmosphere change, I got near them and sat down. This just poured down the words of yoo jung, she looked at me with a harsh face and hurried to look away. An Hyun also scratched his head and was avoiding my gaze. I spoke in calm voice after looking at them for a moment.

“There is no problem wondering. Soon life will be different for you, there is too little to do in the hall plane. Of course, it would be a problem if I wished to partic.i.p.ate in beacuse of simple curiosity in an expedition.”

When She heard it, I could see Yoo-Jung light up. Maybe it was because I took her side. Ahn Hyun poked his tongue out, but now he had a sour face. yoo-jung smiled smugly and asked,

“Brother. What makes the steel mountains so fierce? When I was in the inn, everybody who talked to me sometimes said that. “

“Currently, the Hall Plane is limited to East, West, South and North Continents. The central continent is still unexplored region. To get to the central continent we have to pa.s.s the steel mountains as a must.”

“Then it should not be that difficult, right?”

“Idiot”

An hyun did what I wanted to do instead. I laughed, as i was speechless at the words of Yoo-Jung.

“If you could conquer it so easily, someone would already have done it. The monsters we have encountered in these mountains cannot be compared to the monsters one would encounter in steel mountain, and there are monsters of such degree that we can not imagine.”

“Then if you can go into the central continent beyond the steel mountains? what is in the central continent? “

I couldn’t but shrink at the question of Yoo jung. However, I felt the need to be careful because I cannot reveal anything suspicious, yoo jung had a curious expression but I did not see Ahn Hyun and Ansol. However, I was on my way to rest and it does not matter if they knew a bit about this.

“I do not know. If you go beyond the steel mountains, you will see the central continent, or another continent. However, I heard that it is confirmed in the ancient literature that there is a big city named Atlanta in front of the northern continent. It’s just an ancient doc.u.ment, but it’s a new big city.

“Atlanta … What’s good about taking a big city? Can you get a home and live there? “

“n.o.body knows that. but… Let me ask you one thing before that Yoo jung. What do you think is the most important thing for an individual to survive on the Hall Plane? “

She closed her eyes in thought, her hands played with her hairs.

“power. ability. Stats. “

“right. That is, individual ability is most important. It is not to survive unconditionally when there is power, but is more likely to survive anyway.”

“Yep. Then can users gain control of Atlanta? “

I turned to look at yoo-jung.

“It is possible. The northern continent is now getting saturated. dungeons of a continent is not infinite. All of the usual expeditions are done. Of course, dunegons in mule were discovered a while ago, but it is in steel mountain range. After the stabilization of cities like Mule is complete, there is nothing to be done after that. I can not help but catch the monsters that come out. It’s the same with other continents. Then the people of the North Continent, who are in complete development and saturation, will no longer be able to build up their powers and abilities. It’s unclear if you can have a home live without worries, but everybody knows what will happen if you do not have the strength. Moreover, we would be unable to raise new users who are likely to be new arrival. “

the longer i spoke, it started to lack sense. watching them concentrate on my words was so scary.

“So if we cross over the steel mountains and start exploring Atlanta, we’ll have a place where we can develop. New monsters, new expeditions, new dungeons, new equipment and so on. First of all, we can relatively easily raise our relatively low stats, but if you reach the limit later, you will not be able to do so much. In Barbara a few years ago, I heard that all of the users who were involved in the pioneering of city Got achievements that increased their stats somewhat. there were other rewards monopolized by the users. So I’m going to use the flag and cross the steel mountains. “

Of course, there is another mountain to overtake after occupying Atlanta. At that time, users have to compete with users from other continents. It is a large city on the central continent, surrounded by Atlanta and Ragnarok, called Terra. And when I remembered the sacrifice I had made to get the zero code in Terra, I was terrified of the moment.

When I was finished, the kids all looked at me with feverent gaze. they seemed quite surprised. Ann Hyun was as if in daze, suddenly asked with a quick tone.

“so brother. Would not it be better for us to stay in big cities then? Ah. Of course I do not doubt your choice. But when you say so, there are really lot of benefits. If we grow up in Barbara or other big city and partic.i.p.ate in the expedition, “

“So. what do you think? would Kim Han be so arrogant in front of us? Ah-oh. even Thinking. makes me furious”

In the end, Kim han was one star. An Hyun and Yoo Jung showed a sense of agitation but only An Sol was looking at me with unshakable eyes. The confidence in her eyes seemed to rise unconditionally since this morning. I was worried that she might become a fanatic.

I paused for a moment and quieted them.

“Hmm. I told you before. If you listen to the instructors who are not from Golden Lion Clan at User Academy, you’d think it is foolish to go on the expedition now, and to partic.i.p.ate in the expedition. Of course I can not be sure, but I think I can trust them more. “

They seemed a bit relaxed, but I did not feel a sense of agitation. I wanted to let them know right away about the expedition, the cataclysm and how much the Golden Lion Clan had suffered loss and Shamed. I had a sigh inside, but I still had to explain because I needed a good reason. However, some things were better unspoken.

“Huh! Listen carefully. But this is only my thought, so do not stick to it. Now the golden lion clan thinks that the stabilization of the northern continent has progressed somewhat, and it seems to prepare for the expedition in haste. But I do not see it right. “

“brother. But is it possible to travel before stabilization? Even if it is a little difficult, if you succeed, you’re going to hit the mark. “

“That’s right. The problem is that it’s the users’ life that is at risk. “

When I said the word “life”, he immediately shut his mouth. The atmosphere seemed to be considerably heavier than before.

“I once read the records when I was in Barbara. The first feeling that I felt after reading was dissapointment. This happened in Barbara, it can repeat in case of Atlanta. To succeed in a steel mountain expedition, you have to completely develop the continent. when It is completely developed it is possible to extract the maximum number of forces, and can secure a certain amount of new users. The North Continent is now developing, but it is not developed yet. Even if we have mule city right now, i still think the expedition is too early. There will be many who think so. The golden lion clan seems to be still out of mind when time comes it will be like former clan lord … ?. “

“Huh? The former golden lion clan lord? “

A small mistake can lead to diaster, my toungue slip would do same. fortunately, I could say i had read the records before, but I should be more careful in the future. I nodded a little, gazing at An Sol with a gentle face.

“the most brilliant man in the current big city, Barbara. many times have you guys would have heard in academy? For A General inspection cla.s.s to the chief of the Golden Lion clan, you must have achievements piled up…."

I was able to relax when I saw they were satsified with the explaination.

“Originally Hall-plane was occupied the western general city Halo, beth, and Dorothy before taking over Barbara. After stabilizing the eastern cities in his own way, he came to city of Barbara, and it is said that he died because he could not cure the wounds. “

“Maybe if he had just been there, he’d already be in Atlanta.”

f.u.c.k. I could barely shut up the words that nearly spit out. In fact, the time to enter Atlanta was the end of several civil war after the dissolution of the Golden Lion Clan. I admit to pioneering Barbara, but there was no guarantee that even if he was alive, he could occupy the steel mountains.

Anyhow, in order to survive on Hall Plane, the power of the individual is important, but it was also important to know a lot of knowledge in many ways. I took a little long break, but I thought it was a good time for the kids, and I stood up.

“Anyway, the situation is rough. Now the expedition has no qualification or meaning to partic.i.p.ate, so just forget it. Now we just have to do what we can. “

I looked at yoo jung and Ahn Hyun. Yoo jung nodded her face and stood up. Now the time to use the third eye was approaching. Perhaps if my prediction is correct, I can probably find the alchemist’s dungeon in one or two days.
