Chapter 68: Lupus (II)
"It's weird!"
After seeing the Queen, Ed's expression stiffened.
What should he say? Her voice and figure were beautiful, and he didn't find any shortcomings in the atmosphere around her.
Biologically, however, the queen of Lupennia is too far away from humans.
Her eyes and head are as big as aliens, but her mouth and nose are small. Plus, her fins flutter in the air like hair.
I knew it was going to happen.
Conou had expected so.
Is it unlikely that the queen of Lupenia will fit the aesthetic beauty of humanity?
The queen shouted, "Radium".
But it was her voice that exceeded his expectations.
Her voice is awe-inspiring. There is an elegance behind her voice that cannot be explained by species differences alone.
"Yes, my Queen. Radium replied in a trusted voice.
"Who is Lord Valan's heir?"
"This, my queen. ”
Radium points to Conou.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. I am the Queen of Lupeña, Ron. ”
"It's an honor to meet you. My name is Conou," Conou said politely.
"The rest is ......," Ron asked.
"My name is Ed. ”
"I'm Granno. ”
Ed and Grano also reveal their names to her.
"Mr. Eder, Mr. Granno. Nice to meet you. And Mr. Conou. ”
Ron's name is Con'ou.
"Yes. ”
"Is Lord Varan doing well?"
"I'm not sure. He has been roaming around the world and there is no news about him. ”
Conou made up a story based on the story Buchan told him.
"Do you have a way to contact him?"
He felt as if the queen was desperately looking for Valen.
"I have no way of contacting him, but my sworn brother is a student of Master Valan. If I tell him, he might be able to contact Master Valan. Con said politely.
"Your sworn brother is a student of Lord Valan? you say you are his heir......"
Con'ou flinched for a moment, but he quickly turned his head.
"Ah! I must not be able to express myself properly. I am the heir to his sword. In that case, I am his heir. ”
Conou smiled innocently to make the best impression. It's as if he's saying, "I didn't lie to you!".
"His sword is definitely Lord Valan's greatest Gemini. A man as strong as Master Valan will not lose his sword, my queen. ”
Radium backed up his statement. Of course, he was just talking about his feelings.
"I see. Then, Mr. Conou. Can you do me a little favor?"
"Of course. ”
"I'll decide after you tell me. ”
"Please convey this message to Lord Valan through your sworn brother. Lupennia has not forgotten your kindness. So please come sometime. ”
After completion, a task appears.
[Ron's request]
"Lupennia has not forgotten your kindness. So please come sometime. ”
Relay Ron's message to Varan through Buchan. You can also tell Valan yourself. Nothing different.
When Varan arrives in Lupennia, the mission will be accomplished.
Difficulty: Not sure
Minimum: Connect to Valan
Bonus: You can take one of the items stored in the Treasury of Lupennia.
"Your Highness. I have a request before accepting the assignment. Conou, who finished reading the task, said.
"What kind of requirements?"
"I want to get rewarded early. It's likely that it will be difficult for me to come back here after I leave. ”
It's too easy to pass the message to Buchan. However, there is no way to know when Varan will visit Lupennia.
Plus, even if he does complete his mission, he'll have to get back here. Not only was it far away, but it was also a waste of his time.
If so, the best-case scenario is to get rewarded first.
"Sort of..."
The queen hesitated.
If he gets the reward first, then there's a chance he'll slack off on the mission.
Con Ou knelt down, took the magic sword off his back, and raised it respectfully with both hands.
"I know what you're worried about. But I promise to do my best to accomplish your task with this sword. So trust me!" he yelled.
"Hmm. If you're willing to go that far, that's good. ”
Cono smiled.
"I want to know what kind of items are stored in the vault......"
Conou's heart had been set on the treasure in the treasury of Lupennia, not on the queen's request.
However, he counts the eggs before they hatch.
"In exchange, destroy the demon's lair behind the Crystal Palace. ”
"My Queen, that place is ......!"
Radium was shocked.
"It doesn't matter. He inherited Lord Valan's sword. Grekturon is no more. ”
"What is Guriktulen?" asked Conou, looking at Radium.
Radium said: "Guriktulun is a giant monster known as the catastrophe of the sea. Lupennia sealed Guriktulum and we have been guarding it ever since so that the seals do not break. ”
"But do you mean that Guretulon is dead?" asked Conou.
That's definitely what the Queen said.
"Yes. Lord Valan defeated the Guretulon for us. Radim said.
"And that's not all. Lord Valan almost saved my life," Ron said.
Her voice is full of admiration, trust, and conviction.
Radium further explains: "Since the seal of the Gurektulen weakened over time, Empress Lupeña sacrificed herself to protect the seal. But since Lord Valan defeated the Gurekturon for us, Empress Ron was not forced to sacrifice herself. Radium further explained.
His voice was also filled with deep gratitude.
''I think it's reasonable why they want to find him so much.''
Cono nodded. However, this is a problem between Valan and Lupeña.
He became interested in this demon's lair.
"What is this demon's lair?" asked Conou.
Ron said, "The demon's lair was originally the place where the Gurektu dragons were sealed. However, after Lord Valan defeated the Gurekturon, the monsters began to emerge from the corpses. So our fighters regularly go over there to clear the area," Ron said.
"Is there a boss monster there?"
Radium said, "There it is." The boss is a miniature version of Gurik Tulum. We call it the Seed of Disaster. ”
"Seeds of disaster, huh...... If we leave it, will it turn into a big monster like the Gurektulong?" asked Conou.
"We believe. Ron replied.
"But no matter how many times we kill it, it will disappear from the body of Guriktulun again and again. That's why we're looking for a way to dispose of Guriktulun's body, but we still haven't found a solution," said Radium.
"That's because it's being reborn...... It's not really a worthwhile dungeon. ”
Con'ou, who had listened to Radium's explanation, thought there was nothing to be gained there.
Since the warriors of Lupenia regularly go to destroy all the monsters and bosses, the bosses don't have time to accumulate any wealth.
However, if he wants to get Ron's quest reward early, he doesn't have many options.
Plus, there's still a chance that the boss monster will lose something worthwhile.
If Conou defeats the boss of the underground devil's lair, then he will be the first player to do so, so he will receive the first prize.
"If it can drop like Caracioni's golden spear (in order), then it's all worth it!"
He had sold Karakuni's golden spear at auction for 2,500 gold.
What if he got another similar item from his boss in the devil's lair, even if the boss didn't have a chance to accumulate any wealth, it was still worth it.
However, as long as the boss of the Demon's Lair is not a raid boss, the chance of dropping a similar item is almost zero.
"Okay. I'll be back after destroying all the monsters in the demon's lair. ”
Conou accepted Ron's request.
Ron said, "Okay. Once you've defeated the Calamity Seed, you can get its core. Please bring it to the radium. ”
"I understand. ”
"Radium. Please take him to the devil's lair. ”
"Understood. Please follow me. ”
Radium took the lead, followed by Conou's party.
"Mr. Granno, are you going into the dungeon too?" asked Conou after they had left the queen's room.
"I want to see the body of the Guretulun. I'll go with you," Granno said.
"What level are you at?" asked Conou.
"I'm in the mid-200s. ”
"You're lower than I expected. ”
Con looked a little surprised.
"I'm not at a high level because I'm good at building amazing devices as an engineer. However, I was able to play well enough not to get in your way. ”
"How are we going to divide the loot?"
So far, Con has monopolized the junk items, equipment or treasures he finds by clearing the dungeon!
Darion is a mercenary worth 3 silver, Ed is a slave, and Sepro's contract says he will give up everything.
However, Grano's position was different from theirs.
If he is going to hunt with them, then he can ask for some items.
"How do we share 50-50 on average?" Grano suggests.
"When Ed was here, how did we split it evenly? about 70-30? I certainly got 70 percent. ”
"Okay. Grano graciously accepted.
"Mr. Radium. "Conou, who wants to know how they will break down the loot, asks for radium.
"Yes?"
"Do you have a map of the Devil's Lair?"
It would be easier for me if I did.
"I know where the land is and how to get there, but I don't have a map. ”
"Do you want to come with us, then?"
Guide us!
"I can't. No one is allowed to enter the demon's lair without the express approval of the Queen. The Queen only commanded me to guide you there," Radium said firmly.
"Tch company. So what do we need to pay attention to? Like poison. ”
Radium said, "No monster can use poison. However, there will be some monsters that spew acid. ”
"Anything else?" asked Conou.
"Hmm. Didn't think of anything. ”
"What about the boss monster?"
"We're here," Radium interrupted.
Like he said, Cono could see a huge black abyss, the entrance to the demon's lair.
However, there is a sharp coral barrier around it, as if monsters occasionally overflow. There are also fish-man guards to protect the entrance.
"Please accept this. ”
Radium pulled out a crystal that emitted bright light from his breast pocket.
"What is this?"
Cono accepted the crystal.
"The inside of the demon's lair is so dark that you can't see what is in front of you, so please don't drop this crystal. ”
"Thank you. ”
Radium said to the guards, "These people have received permission from the queen to enter the demon's lair. ”
Conou looked back at Eder and Granno.
"Are you all ready?"
"Yes. ”
Ed turned around and signaled that he was ready.
Grano just stared at Conou and nodded.
"Hold on, Mr. Granno. ”
Cono passed the crystal that radium had given him to him.
It would be better for Glenor to provide attack and support from the rear to hold the crystal.
However, it turned out that the magic was more useful than Conou praised it.
"We can do that. ”
Granor casts the spell onto the crystal, which begins to float in the air.
"Good. Let's go!"
Con'ou's party cleared the barrier and entered the demon's lair.
The darkness of the demon's lair consumes Conou, Ed, and Granor.
"Good luck. Radium muttered as he stared at the entrance.
[You have discovered hidden dungeons, demonic lairs, and the calamity of the sea has been sealed.] ]
[You're the first to discover it.] ]
[Fame increases.] ]
[If you hunt in a demon's lair that has sealed the sea disaster**, you will gain twice as much experience.] Also, the item drop rate has been doubled. ]
Conou, who had entered the demon's lair, looked around.
Since radium gave him crystals, darkness was not an issue.
"The structure is simple. ”
The walls are black, and the road ahead has only a long tunnel.
Once they progress, they will face the first obstacle. Path splitting.
"Where are we going?" asked Ed.
"On the right. ”
Conor has chosen the right path.
This is because the right sound sounds as if it's a busy activity.
"It seems like there are a couple of monsters on the right," Grano said. ”
"That's why we're going there," Conou said. The path to having more monsters is usually a shortcut. ”
"I see. ”
"First of all, Ed. You'll be in front. I would be in the middle, and Mr. Granor would lift the back. ”
"Okay. ”
"Understood. ”
Conou's party is on the right path in the established order.
"There's something here!" Vanguard, Ed said.
Luca!
Tala!
They heard strange noises in the distance, and the presence of dozens of monsters.
Monsters...
"Octopus?"
"Octopus?" Conou questioned.
"They're octopuses. ”
"That's true. ”
Ed and Granno said.
They have a round head and eight legs, which are covered with countless suction cups.
They are definitely octopus.
But they were large, with eight eyes on their heads.
They also have different mouth positions.
The mouth of a normal octopus is located between its body and its tentacles, but the mouth of these octopuses is located in the center of its round head.
They also have different mouth shapes.
The mouth of the octopus is open horizontally and its sharp teeth resemble those of a shark.
"It's the first time I've seen them," Conou said.
Not only was it the first time he had actually seen it, but he didn't have any information about it.
Apparently, he did not know what their rank or name was. He didn't know what kind of abilities they had.
"Interesting. ”
