A few minutes later, the team assembled. Gathered around Jimbo, he was their leader. Seve

a

ce and Awesome Dude are on the side. Neither of them wanted to be a part of the Kim Bo Qun.

Heading towards the mine, Jin Boshou walked in front. Serins followed, carefully observing everything around her. He wished he could be as carefree as Awesome Dude, with his hands in his pockets and taking a leisurely walk, but his paranoia had been triggered, and he was just waiting for something to happen.

The three men had pushed the cart into the mine, and Jimbo led his team to the women who were picking up the rocks. He stopped at the bottom of a pile of stuff, propped his fist on his hips, and shouted, "Hey! ”

The women didn't even look at it. Continue collecting stones as if nothing was heard.

An ugly look of sadness appeared on Jimbo's face. He had tried enough to make his voice echo throughout the town and echo through the surrounding mountains. "Hey!!"

Jimbo's expression contorted, and he looked like he was about to explode. Sev frowned. That's embarrassing.

"Maybe we shouldn't talk to them," Awesome Dude screamed.

"Because you're rude," Kania said in a small, clear voice. Her gaze was solemn at the working women, and her small round face was quite serious. "Let me try."

"Cut." Jimbo sneered, but that didn't stop her. Sef watched as Kania set off, carefully climbing up to the side of the rock pile. She's shorter than most of the fighters, so she's having some difficulty getting over the larger rocks. Her heavy greenish-gray robes didn't help her much. But she managed to climb to the top of the mountain, panting slightly.

"I'm sorry," she said to the nearest worker. "Can you help me?"

To everyone's shock, the woman stopped what she was doing and looked down at Kania. The woman replied in a flat voice, with a blank face. "What's the matter, kid?" Kania smiled in a friendly smile, but didn't reciprocate. "I'm looking for Tafas. Do you know where he is? ”

In response, the woman wordlessly raised a bruised arm and pointed with a dirty finger. Everyone turned their heads to look at where she was pointing. This is one of the shacks.

Walking towards there, everyone was in hot pursuit. Kania thanked the lady and climbed down the rock again.

Sef turned his gaze from the crowd to Kania. He felt torn between trying to get close to other people. His quest and wait for a player who seems to be helpful and friendly. He was about to suggest "Awesome Dude" to make them wait, but had already noticed that the shadow was sticking out of the rocks at the bottom of the pile.

"These rocks look weird." Awesome guy picks up one,

"Look, it's kind of glittering."

Of course, he will be distracted by a stone. Sev didn't touch it. It's thick and black, and as his friend said, it glows with a subtle sheen when exposed to sunlight.

"Ugh. I wonder what kind of rock this is. "It's a sparkling stone." The stone disappeared from the handsome man's handsome hand. This means that Shadow must have put it in his inventory.

"Do you keep it?"

"Cool stones," says Awesome Dude, as if that explains everything.

It was then that Kania joined them. "Hehe, thank you for waiting!"

She stopped to dust off her robe. The cryo mage's robes were long and flowy, but her robes were shorter, and the waist was cinched by a wide leather belt. Her long sleeves were tucked in by leather bracers.

"Hehe, no problem!" The handsome guy laughed hard. "He and I are very cool."

She bared her teeth and responded with a smile. "Let's catch up, shall we?"

It was the only building with an open door, and they walked in, exchanging glances in confusion.

All players gather around an Elion. This makes the already small room claustrophobic. There is a wood stove inside. There are a few poorly made chairs in the corner. Tafas himself stood in front of this stove.

He is a dirty, skeletal man with a face that only a mother would like. Sneer.

"Do you think I have piles of permits around me?" Tafas spat on the floor "That thing takes time and crystals, and only the Ijit don't know that."

Ginge's girl stepped forward and brushed the silky hair from her face. She winked at Tafe, which gave him a sudden urge to find a corner and vomit. "Is there anything we can do to help with this process?" She asked sweetly, one finger twisting a lock of hair and the other visibly caressing her body.

"Oh, it's disgusting."

She didn't bother to lower her voice, and everyone else heard it. A few snickerings stiffened Jinji's sexy expression.

"Hmm," Tafas muttered. As expected, he doesn't seem to be completely affected. "Outsider, what family are you?"

Her chin was raised, and a hint of pride flashed in her eyes. "Free traders".

A twisted smile suddenly appeared on Tafas's face. "Ah, one of the freedmen, huh? You're in luck – I have a spare permit with your name on it. ”

Tafas reached into his loose, smudged coat and pulled out a small piece of paper. He handed it to Gingi with a slight exaggeration.

She giggled, carefully gripping it between her thumb and forefinger. "Thank you." "Welcome," Tafas chuckled. "Give it to one of the people in the mine and they'll show you the way."

"Okay." Jin Ji turned around and rushed out of the small building. Everyone gave way to her, and as soon as she left, the others turned to Tafas, voices mixed together, demanding the same service.

"Hmph." Kania crossed her arms and pouted. "I can't believe it's really working for her."

He couldn't believe it either. "Do we have to do that too?" Awesome, dude wants to know.

"I hope not."

"Shadup!" Tafas snapped, and fell silent for a moment. He glared at everyone before spitting on the floor again. "Be quiet, you outsiders. I have a question for you. Answer ye. Then I'll tell you how to get a license. ”

No one said anything. Tafas nodded briefly and satisfiedly. Then he pointed at Jimbo. "You guys?"

The player was stunned, taken aback by such a sudden calling. However, he quickly recovered, straightened up and puffed out his chest. "Yes."

"Uh," Tafas grimaced. "Stand there." He gestured to the side of the room.

"Wait," Jimbo didn't move. "Aren't you going to give me permission?"

He was ignored as Tafas pointed at another player. "You guys?"

"Well, vigilant." The player fidgets restlessly, with light blue robes swaying with the action.

"Go and stand with that Igit," Tafas frowned. He then proceeded to the next step, and she did as instructed.

She kept a safe distance from Jimbo, who looked like she was about to strangle someone. Ha.

The other person was directly licensed. His clan is the Chosen One, although the red band is not recognized.

"Hey, are the Free Traders and the Chosen ones friends?"

"Huh?" The amazing guy winked at him. "I don't think so?"

They should remain neutral. But if Ta

Face classifies players by tribe and gives voters and merchants permission right away, which is a bit suspicious, isn't it?

"Hey!" Tafas snapped. "You're in the back. Do you want a license? ”

Kania immediately straightened up and saluted violently. "Yes, sir, I do! I do! ”

"Which of you are you?"

"Conservatory," she shouted, and spun around playfully, as if to show off.

Now there are five people in the team.

"What about you?"

The handsome guy stood up proudly. "I am one of the eternal champions."

Tafas pointed to Kania's group.

"Oh, man." The Shadow snuck over to join them.

"The last one, let's talk."

When it was finally his turn, Tafas stared at him. Well, in fact, he's the only one left. "Veiled."

"Huh?" Tafas frowned. He looked Sev up and down. "I don't know that clan."

There was silence in the room. Seif felt a dozen pairs of eyes staring at him. He tried not to make himself nervous. "It's a small tribe."

"Uh, the weak, huh? Then you must be a piece of shit. Ha. ”

This time, Seif did freeze. Useless? It was like hearing echoes from the past, which he had heard many times. His hands were clenched into fists. His heart was filled with disgust.

"No, you're useless," Kania shouted to Tafas from the side of the room. She looked very angry, her small fists clenched into a ball, and her big eyes filled with anger. "You're a big bully!" Tafas didn't get angry, just giggled. He motioned for Sev to join "Cool Guys" and Kania.

He did as instructed and slipped between Kania and the awesome guys. This Tafas guy is such a bastard, but since he is in charge of their mission, he can only go along with it. However, that doesn't mean he'll like it.

He leaned over to Kania and whispered, "Thank you." ”

She snorted. "yes, don't listen to him, he's just an NPC anyway."

"I don't like him," said the awesome guy. This time, he looked serious, staring at Tafas as if he had just seen the man kick a puppy.

Unfortunately, the shadow forgot to lower the sound. Tafas heard it, as he looked directly at them and sneered.

"I don't care what you guys think. Your opinion doesn't matter. In Ironback, there is only one opinion that matters, and that is mine. Now, all of you, be quiet! He paused long enough to give a creepy smile. "You're going to have to go on your own, and I'll show you how. Follow me. ”

Tafas left the hut. The team instinctively gave way to him, as if they knew they would catch the disease if he touched them. At least, Seve

a

CE's feeling is this: he quickly retreats.

Tafas led the way towards the mine. As they approached, they stepped onto the ore cart tracks. It was fastened to thick planks, some of which had cracked.

It was suddenly dark, and Sev looked up to see that they had just entered the mine. At first glance, he could see nothing but rocks, shadows, and darkness.

Tafas grabbed a lantern from the dusty shelf at the entrance. Once he opened it, a small flame lit by oil began to flicker. It doesn't emit much light, but thanks to a metal lid with a protruding opening on one side, it's capable of projecting a slightly brighter beam. Like an old-fashioned flashlight,

The light is directed deeper into the mine. A large tunnel plunges deep into the mountain and slopes down at an angle of about 45 degrees. Soon engulfed by the darkness of the suffocating depths. In the distance, the sound of miners busy can be heard from the tunnel.

"That's the main shaft," Tafas told them. "Go on your own. But I warn you, you won't come out. These tunnels are a labyrinth that lasts for several days. ”

No one said anything about it. They all stared warily at the main axis, some curious, some thoughtful, some wary.

What to do? What's the worst that could happen? If they get lost, they can teleport directly back to town. If they die somehow, they are born again.

As soon as he thought about it, the risk was low. However, how long will it take him to find the right way through the tunnel?

"This way," Tafas ordered, turning his makeshift flashlight from his spindle to the side. There was a crooked sneer on his face, like a cat that had just caught a mouse.

Seif realized that he had deliberately taken them on a tour of the tunnel. Why? Just wanted to see if anyone would like to try it out for themselves? This guy is so cunning.

As the skeleton man led them into a smaller side tunnel, he grimaced at the back of Tafe's head.

Using only a single light source and the crunching sound of the loose rocks under their feet to guide them, it was a very uncomfortable walk. Thankfully, that didn't last long. The tunnel bends sharply to the right and then ends abruptly.

Seif's eyes widened.

At the end of the tunnel is a swirling purple-gray mass. It fills the entire space, from floor to ceiling and wall to wall, emitting enough ambient light.

"Wow," the handsome guy gasped. "It's-!"

"Dungeon," Jimbo said flatly.
