Chapter 7: Friendship
Inside the dungeon, the green crystal ball at the lakeside gate flashed with a glimmer of light. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
A man and a woman appear inside the dungeon.
It was Wood and Cisna, who had just finished a long period of training.
They were all entering the dungeon for the second time.
They first entered three years ago, one to escape for their lives, and the other to enter the dungeon with overconfidence.
Looking at the lake that was exactly the same as three years ago, they couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Then Wood said to Cisna, who was holding a knight's sword and a set of high-end armor, "Let's go, first get out the 100 points you are going to be deducted today." ”
Cisna nodded, she will have to pay "rent" every month from today onwards.
The rent of life.
From 20 to 24 years old, the age multiplied by 5 experience points will be deducted every month, and from 25 to 29 years old, the age multiplied by 10 experience points will be deducted every month.
And so on, and every five years there is an exponential increase.
Experience crystals can be converted into experience before becoming an inauguration, but confident warriors are more likely to use goblins to warm up their hands.
They have withstood three years of practice, and they are almost baptized with blood.
......
A lone goblin wanders aimlessly.
At this moment, a black shadow burst out from behind the tree, and the silver light flashed.
Before it could react, there was a heart-rending pain in his lower limbs.
Its left leg has been detached from its body.
As it fell to the ground, it began to scream heartbreakingly, and a knight's sword appeared in its pupils.
The powerful slash directly slices the fallen goblin in two, turning it into human experience points.
Stretch out your palm.
"Smack. ”
The two who had finished the battle smiled and clapped their hands.
They haven't teamed up with the system yet, because the XP will be evenly distributed after teaming, and now it's the person who finishes the final blow to get all the XP.
Wood and Hisna start hunting goblins.
If it's not for the sheer number of enemies in the melee, let the knight's sword finish the final blow.
For them right now, there's no pressure at all to kill a few goblins.
It didn't take long for the tacit cooperation to allow Hisna to quickly accumulate 100 experience points.
After reaching 100 points, the automatic upgrade does not start, but the system takes all the experience points first.
A conscientious "charter company".
After paying the "rent", the two formed a team.
They're going to the second floor, and this time it's the first boss on the tenth floor!
Found the entrance to the second floor.
At the entrance, the two looked at each other, nodded to each other, and entered cautiously.
Climb the stairs through the dark cavern to reach the second level.
According to Lily's science, the first few layers are almost the same, but the monsters will gradually increase.
The second layer is still a goblin, but it's a bit faster, but with a bit more speed.
After killing a few goblins, Wood was full of experience.
The level on the panel is automatically upgraded to Level 2.
The experience bar below also becomes 0/500.
It's going to get harder and harder to level up.
After the upgrade, Wood's physical fitness and reflexes have improved a lot, and many goblins have been impaled in the throat or heart without any reaction.
The second layer was still not stressful for the two of them, hunting the goblins while looking for the entrance.
......
Quickly pass through the dungeons.
As soon as they entered the eighth floor, they saw a fireball roaring towards the two of them.
In a panic, Cisna raised her knight's sword to block the fireball.
Wood used his keen sense to spot a few goblins hiding behind the tree, which had rushed out before Hisna was blocking the fireball.
Stand on the tree and look down.
Ambushed were two tall elite goblin warriors with wooden shields and iron swords.
There was also a goblin with a staff behind them.
The goblin mage was chanting some kind of spell, probably trying to launch another spell.
Hisna had already rushed over and slashed directly head-on, and the Goblin Warrior picked up his shield and barely blocked the powerful blow.
Its wooden shield had been knocked out of the rift, and its body was tilted back.
At that moment, another goblin warrior raised his iron sword and charged at Hisna.
Cisna fought and retreated, and although it looked difficult, there was no flinch in her eyes.
Wood didn't care about his companion who was fighting with the two goblins, because no one knew better than him how tough Essna was now, and the true genius warrior was talking about the legendary queen.
And she can't waste the opportunity she created.
After the two bodyguards were lured away, the goblin mage, who was still chanting spells, looked at him like fish on a cutting board.
Falling rapidly from the tree, the dagger plunged directly above the goblin mage's head.
A simple and quick set of moves without any bells and whistles.
Wood grew fond of this type of kill.
A dexterous body, a strong will, and a keen sense of the surroundings.
In Lily's words, he would be good material for an assassin in the future.
After defeating the mage, quickly go to reinforce Sisna, who is one enemy and two enemies.
I saw Hisna snort softly in the melee, and another powerful slash.
The Goblin Warrior raised his broken shield to resist.
The knight's sword easily shattered the wooden shield, and slashed the goblin hiding behind him.
The other goblin saw that his companion had been killed, picked up his iron sword and rushed towards Hisna even more frantically.
Cisna didn't panic, and took advantage of the situation to turn the blood-stained knight's sword back.
The inertia of the rotation increased the lethality, and the goblin, which had no shield, was directly cut in half.
A violent aesthetic that makes the viewer feel excited!
Of course, the words of the enemy will definitely be a headache.
"Bang bang. ”
Wood, who had just arrived at the battlefield, couldn't help but applaud when he saw such a strong Cessna.
Fighting head-on, ten of him is not enough for this female warrior to cut.
"After all, it's my sister Sisna, these brainless goblins, let's cut a few!"
Wood clapped his hands and complimented him as if in adoration.
Cisna, who was still standing in a pool of blood, saw the boy walking over and poked his forehead with her finger.
"You little ghost, you'll be called sister at this time?"
Wood touched the poked forehead, and his expression changed from a grin to a serious one.
"Sisna, I warn you! If you treat me like a child like this, I'm going to rebel!"
As he spoke, he raised his fist in protest.
"Hahahaha......"
Cisna looked at Wood like this, and began to laugh in spite of her ladylike demeanor.
Then he was about to continue teasing, and suddenly saw Wood's expression change.
Perhaps the sound of the fight and conversation was too loud, and he sensed a few more goblins nearby.
Cisna pursed her lips, as if she was a little unhappy to be disturbed.
These incomprehensible goblins......
The two quickly got into combat mode.
Hisna stood still, cautiously waiting for the goblin to arrive, Wood already lying in ambush in the shadows.
The battle is about to start again......
......
The night of the goblin world comes very slowly, basically in the three days of the human world, this world only comes to the night.
Around the campfire, Wood and Cisna are having dinner.
The food was prepared for them by Lily, along with a bunch of potions, spare clothes, and some miscellaneous items that might be needed, all in the dimensional bag.
Carefully calculate the time.,It's been more than two days since I came in.,If it goes well, I'm going to meet the first boss tomorrow.。
The real test is coming!
Looking up at the night sky, which was indistinguishable from the human world, Wood couldn't help but think of something messy.
What is this world?
The phrase inscribed on the Apocalypse Stone Tablet reads, "When the tenth stage is passed, everything will end." ”
Ten stages, a thousand floors.
Is this really a prophecy of humanity breaking free from its shackles?
The more he thought about it, the more complicated it became, and he shook his head sharply to keep himself from thinking about things that had nothing to do with him.
After dinner, the campfire was extinguished.
Then the two took turns keeping vigil for the night of the first dungeon.
......
The number of mages on the ninth layer also became more and more numerous, and the two began to feel real pressure.
Relying on Wood's insight, the two avoided the large hordes of goblins and searched the forest for the entrance to the tenth layer.
After assassinating several goblins, Wood and Hisna also managed to reach level four.
There is only one level left before the class system is activated.
This level costs 2000 XP.
I don't know if the boss's experience points are enough for him to upgrade this level.
Killing the same boss for the second time is nothing.
So the first experience and rewards are very generous.
While thinking about these things, the entrance to the tenth floor had already appeared in their field of vision.
Drink various buff potions at the entrance to make yourself in the best condition.
The two looked at each other and smiled and hugged each other.
Then step up the steps to the tenth floor.
......
At first glance, the tenth floor is no different from the previous ones.
The only difference is that there are no goblins or adventurers.
It's a very strange space.
Wood and Heathna were cautious, focused and slowly exploring.
Suddenly, the ground seemed to boil, and a pillar of fire burst out of the ground.
Fortunately, the two of them were focused enough to avoid the hot pillar of fire in time, although they looked a little embarrassed.
Another huge fireball flew from the sky and smashed directly into the two who were still sitting on the ground.
Cisna stood up, picked up her knight's sword, and slashed at the massive fireball.
The fireball dissipated, but the attack from nowhere was far from over.
This time, countless small fireballs came like raindrops, and there was nowhere to run.
At this time, Wood was also in a panic, and his powerful ability to perceive the situation around him could not find the guy who cast the spell.
Countless fireballs began to fall, and Cisna pulled Woodra behind her, then fended off with the knight's sword and the armor on her body.
Even if this armor is called the strongest armor before taking office, it can't withstand such a bombardment.
At this time, some of the armor had already fallen off or disappeared due to the heat, and the wounded Essna was already barely standing.
After taking out a bottle of healing potion, Cisna said in a gentle tone, "Although I don't know where this arsonist is, Wood, who is the loveliest and most reliable in my heart, will definitely know." Isn't it?"
Although she tried her best to hide the weakness of her voice, she was discovered by Wood.
This woman really treats him as family.
Even when it was so dangerous, he still stood in front of him, without any hesitation, and still trusted him as a family member.
Tears flowed down the corners of his eyes, and then he looked at the long golden hair that was still elegant even after being baptized by fire.
"Who do you think I am? I'm the one who saved St. Letus's daughter! I'm the man who promised the rogue master that they would both go back safely!"
After saying that, his heart became very calm, closed his eyes, and began to feel everything around him.
The trees set ablaze by the flames, the self sitting on the ground, and the Essna standing with a sword.
But beyond that, there was nothing.
No, there must be something I haven't discovered, definitely!
Wood told himself firmly.
"Congratulations adventurer, awaken the Action Skill: Heart Eye. ”
Heart Eye LV1: You are used to paying attention to everything around you and can keep your mind at all times.
Effect: When activated, it can increase the ability and distance to detect lifeforms. Lasts 30 seconds and cools for 5 minutes.
Maybe there really is a God in this world, a God named Hisna.
Wood directly chose to activate the skill.
After activation, Wood could even feel the sound of Sisna's heartbeat on the side.
It also discovered an unknown life form in the distance, which was invisible.
Find this damn arsonist!
Locking onto his target and cutting through the burning flames, Wood ran with all his might.
The stealthy guy seems to know that he has been spotted and begins to move.
Wood looked at his skill time, there were 20 seconds left.
Approaching again, there are 10 seconds left in the duration of the ability.
He had raised his dagger, ready to give the monster a throat-cutting salute.
There are 5 seconds left.
At this moment, the invisible monster in front of him shot an arrow, trying to delay the speed of Wood's pursuit.
Wood knew that if he wasted time avoiding arrows, he would be slightly distanced, and if his skill time was up, he would probably not be able to find this powerful mage.
Without a hint of evasion, he took the arrow over his left shoulder.
Leaning forward, the dagger stabbed straight through.
After being stabbed in the body, the monster threw away the staff and crossbow in his hand, and when he broke free from the dagger that stabbed his body, he also dropped a transparent cloak, but he did not have any memory of the cloak, and continued to run desperately.
It was a dwarf, golden-skinned goblin with a magic circle written on its back.
There was a bleeding wound on the magic circle.
Wood wouldn't let him run away like that, holding back the sharp pain in his left shoulder and continuing to exert his strength in his legs.
Shout.
Another stab into the back of the golden goblin.
The goblins stopped running and seemed to have given up resistance.
It fell to the ground in tears, begging Wood not to kill it or knowing that its life was at an end.
Wood picked up the dagger, and without a hint of faltering, the cold blade slashed across the goblin's throat.
"Congratulations to the Adventurer team for killing the 10th Floor Hidden Boss, Flame Potter. Rewards appear after the adventurer becomes a pro. ”
"Congratulations to the adventurer for completing the achievement, First Blood・Boss"
"Congratulations to the adventurer for reaching level 5 and opening the career system. ”
Several system messages.
He didn't look at the professions that could be changed first, and Wood was more worried about Sisna.
Pull out the arrow stuck in his body, pour the healing potion, and hurry to find the heroic female warrior.
When she arrived at the place where she had just been bombarded by magic, Hisna, who was sitting on the ground, saw Wood and struggled to get up.
Wood ran up to hold on.
Then the two began to whisper.
"What a great big boy~"
"It's all said, it's a man!"
"Hahaha......"
......
At the entrance to the dungeon of Yusai Castle.
Lily in front of the quaint gate was looked at with admiration by many people.
But now Lily was in no mood to pay attention to those eyes, and waited anxiously at the gate.
Every time someone teleported out, they would look at it expectantly, and then look away with some disappointment.
The time had passed, and it was the fourth night that Wood had entered.
The maid was secretly cursing herself at this time.
At the time, I didn't agree with the garbage idea that what has been tested to become a good adventurer!
What if you ignore their opinions and follow up the dungeon with that punishment?
It's better than being scared now.
The maid was angry with herself.
At this point, Wood and Hisna finally teleported out of the dungeon.
Lily, who was just getting angry and being tortured by herself, suddenly dropped everything and stepped forward to hug them.
Looking at the two people who were scarred, tears welled up.
She's really distressed.
Just come back, kids......
