"Should we start looking for hidden dungeons?"

After Ed left Hart (stopped) and Itar (Itar), Conou began exploring the lakeside mountains on his own.

He unexpectedly managed to get 600 gold coins, however, the reason for his coming to Lake Mountain did not change: to find a hidden dungeon.

''They say the cave hidden by the wind is inside the Laken Mountains...''

This is what he heard from a middle-aged man in the Adventurers' Guild.

A cave hidden by the wind!

It's possible that it's not a hidden dungeon, and it's also possible that he's not the first to discover it.

There must be some value in finding it, as he couldn't find any details about the story of the planet.

If he can find it, he can write an article about the story of the earth and make money, even if he is not the first to discover it.

"But it's better to be both a hidden dungeon and the first one I discovered it. ”

Like a fisherman returning with a load of fish, Con'ou explores the mountains by the lake.

When he was about halfway up the mountain, he saw a small town hut on a mountain basin.

The town is ruled by Jacques.

Jacques (Jackie) is a weasel-like bipedal who wields a sharp scythe and has power in the wind.

"A weasel with a wind and a cave covered by the wind, hehe......"

Conor can't just ignore that.

He enters the town, and Jacques (Jacques) ejects from the underground cabin.

The three weasels hold the scythe in both hands and raise their heads stiffly like mongooses!

Conou untied the magic sword on his back, and two weasels rushed at him, wielding their scythes.

He avoided their attacks and swung his sword horizontally.

The weasel quickly lowered its head and evaded Conou's attack.

The last one looked at Conou from behind, arms crossed.

The wind began to blow around as well as on the hair.

！

The weasel with his arms crossed shook his arms and unloaded the terrifying White Wind Sword from the scythe.

Wind Blade!

Reluctantly, Conou raised his sword. The Wind Blade was then sucked into his sword.

[Ubist has absorbed the Wind Blade.] Satisfaction increased by 0.01%. ]

Conou immediately used a diagonal line to cut one of the weasels open.

Kang!

The weasel crossed the scythe and stopped his attack. Still, the resulting physical shock and pressure causes it to wobble.

Cono will not lose this opportunity.

"Hap!"

Cono swings downward.

Fast but heavy attack!

His demonic sword pierced through the middle of the weasel's body.

Good!

The weasel fell to the ground.

However, he did not kill it.

At the same time, other weasels rushed at him.

Ah wielded his sword, deflected their scythe, and charged at the fallen weasel.

"My feet will be better than my sword. ”

Using the force of inertia generated while running, Con Au kicked the weasel's foot.

Conou!

When the weasel's body turns gray, it flies into the air with a "pop" sound.

'Done one. '

Okay immediately turned around and charged at the remaining weasels.

Yes!

The sound of him splitting the blade can be heard, but his blade is delicate, as if embroidered in the air.

Instead of choosing a continuous powerful blow, he chose a fast, continuous blow!

The two weasels immediately turned gray.

They were unable to properly defend themselves against Conou's side of the attack, but were swept away by his sword.

Conou collects the garbage while looking around the town and kills the weasel monster.

It took him only 10 minutes to kill fifty weasels.

He even easily defeated a man named Jacques (Sassasac) with a Mohawk on his head.

There was an item dropped near the deceased, the corpse of Yakui.

That's the yellow beads.

[Weasel beads]

The beads used by the weasel when exhaling the wind. It is also a material that can be used when creating magic items.

Material Grade: Conou

Weasel beads are a material. It's just a regular Jackie-class item.

However, he felt something from the beads. He felt the same way when he discovered his last hidden dungeon.

A suspicious feeling, as if there was something else!

"Hmm. ”

Kang Ou carefully observed Huang Zhu.

It is just like any other bead except that it is yellow. It would be great to use it for marbles.

But considering the fact that his super-intuition was already activated, he was convinced that there was more to it.

"I have to ask when Ed will be back. ”

A necromancer like B should be able to find the secrets that reside in the beads.

B carefully hides the yellow beads in his inventory and continues to search for the cave hidden by the wind.

Ed is back.

"I'm back. ”

Ever since he became attached to Eder, he could always tell where Conou was.

So even though Con'ou was traversing the mountain, he had no trouble finding Con'ou.

Of course, Cono can also summon Ed.

However, he didn't know when Conou would finish his mission, so Oh didn't do it.

"Everything's fine, right?"

"Yes. ”

"Well done. Cono finished with his hand outstretched.

Ed gave him a gold bar worth 100 gold coins.

It's a reward for Eder and Conou.

"Hey. ”

Cono smiled.

Kim always makes him feel good.

"Did you find the hidden dungeon?" asked Ed.

"No, but can you help me take a look?"

Stop putting gold bars in your pockets and remove weasel beads from your inventory.

Itar grabbed the beads with his thumb and forefinger and began to check.

"I saw that it was a bead that contained magic," Ed said. ”

He felt the magic emanating from the yellow beads. Its element is wind.

"You can't detect anything?"

Conou examined it more thoroughly, but there was nothing out of the ordinary.

"I don't know, but is there any secret to this bead being hidden?"

Ed fiddled with the beads.

"Absolutely. Conou affirmed.

"How do you know?" asked Ed.

Did he get that information from someone?

"There's something here. I have a hunch!" Conou replied.

"What do you mean by hunch?"

Ed inward.

He didn't know Conou's super-instincts. Therefore, he did not believe in Conou's "hunch".

However, if he doesn't wish to cut the skull in half, he needs to react appropriately.

"Hmm. If the bead breaks, then the wind inside will come out, so I don't think it has anything to do with breaking it......" Eder said, as if he was seriously studying the weasel beads.

At that moment, Conou Edel felt as if a light bulb had fallen off his head. He had a spark of inspiration, as if he knew "That's it!".

"This is Arthur's version of the edge of the lava stop".

There is an area among the warlords called "The Edge Where Lava Rests".

If magic or scrolls are used in that area, a portal to another area is formed.

Caves hidden by the wind should follow the same philosophy.

If a cave is discovered, and wind magic is used or a wind-related magic item is used, an entrance to another area should be formed.

I'm sure. '

Eder, the developers of Conou and Dream Gate.

They are two games that share the same creator.

So, there should be some similarities between the two games.

"I know how to get into the dungeon......"

Now, he needs to really find the cave hidden by the wind.

"We will explore every cave in the Alth Mountains. ”

The warlord and the lake explored every corner of the Koonau mountain and explored all the caves.

They eventually came to a cave overgrown with bushes.

"This is it. ”

Even if he doesn't have hyper-intuition, he'll know there's something in this hole.

The surface of the walls is different, and there is a rather large symbol carved on it.

The symbol consists of five straight lines, but is circular at the ends.

This is a symbol that often denotes the wind.

Of course, his "hyper-intuition" is at work again.

It's here. Here!", it will say.

"Is this a cave hidden by the wind?" asked Ed.

"Yes. You can see that the wind vane over there is very clear. ”

Eder points to the symbol.

The lake approached the symbol and began to check it.

"I don't see any specific devices here. ”

Without this symbol, then it would be just like any other ordinary cave.

The wind symbol itself looks as if someone is joking. It's shoddy work.

"What you see is not everything. ”

Cono took out the yellow bead and smashed it to the ground.

！

The broken beads then release all the wind energy contained in them.

Shun!

The wind began to blow around the beads.

The wind blew through Conou, Eder and Ed, and also through every ounce of the cave.

Then, something unusual happened.

In one of the areas of the cave **, a hole is formed, from which the wind is inhaled.

The force it sucks in the wind becomes more intense. At the same time, the holes gradually become larger.

How much time has passed?

The once-violent wind calmed down in the cave as if nothing had happened.

But in exchange...!

There was an oval portal before the Oh and IK company.

The entrance is constantly undulating, like a quiet lake, and rocks are thrown into it. As if telling them to come in.

[You've found the hunting grounds in Balamut.] ]

[You're the first to discover it.] ]

[Fame increases.] ]

[When hunting inside the hunting grounds of Balamaante (Conou), you gain twice as much experience.] The item drop rate has also been doubled. ]

"The first to discover it!"

Conou's face brightened

His body was shocked by the chance to hit the gold again.

He didn't know what Balamut's hunting grounds were like, but Balamut was definitely the boss's monster.

Because it is the "hunting ground of Balamut"!

If so, then the boss must have amassed a lot of wealth!

"All of it is mine!"

This is an opportunity to make a fortune. There is no reason to hesitate.

"Let's go!" shouted Eder as he walked through the portal.

The portal swayed and devoured him.

Dada, Dada.

Baramut's teeth chattered, and he followed Con'ou closely.

Once Edel passes through the portal, the portal becomes smaller and smaller until it disappears entirely.

Silence returned to the cave.

It was as if nothing had happened.

"The portal is gone. ”

Cono pointed out the location of the portal.

As he said, the portal did disappear.

"If we kill monsters here, then we'll find the Wind Scroll. We can use it to escape when we are done. ”

The same goes for the edge where the lava stops. It may be the same here.

After saying that, Kang Ou investigated the surrounding environment.

They had passed through the portal and entered the cave again.

However, large crystals are embedded in the ceiling that illuminate the cave.

And there is only one road ahead.

"We don't know what's going to happen, so be careful. ”

Edel prepares the demonic sword and follows the path ahead.

Ed also prepares himself so that he can cast magic at any time.

Eder and Con'ou continued to walk anxiously.

At some point, they found an exit, from where the light escaped.

"There are no monsters," Ed said.

As he said, there are no monsters here. No.

"They must be outside the cave. ”

This is clearly a dungeon. There is no way to empty it completely.

Conou and Eder leave the cave.

"It's a jungle. ”

It was a dense jungle full of dense trees.

However...!

Conou!

A piercing roar fell from the sky.

[You hear Baramut's roar.] Baramut's roar imbues the prey with fear and reduces its abilities. ]

[You overcome your fears with unyielding statistics.] Your abilities will not be reduced. ]

After the cry ended, a huge shadow popped out of the forest.

Attack Conou right away!
