Chapter 49

1st place in the ranking is the villager

– Volume 2 Episode 24

24. Guardian of Izbaront (1)

Dino shook his head at the sudden voice.

But no matter how much he looked around, he was the only one in this dark cave.

“Who, who are you! Where are you! Aren’t you coming out right now?!”

-Kukkuuk, hahahahahaha!

Whether Dino’s reaction was funny or not, a voice resounded throughout the cave without any substance.

– It doesn’t matter who I am.

A low-pitched laughter continues.

“Chibaal… what the hell is that…!”

– I like dirty mouths.

Dino clenched his fists and trembled.

Is it a tremor from anger or a tremor from fear?

It was not known which of the two was causing this tremor.

Or it could be both.

Wrath-.

Just as Dino’s fists didn’t stop trembling, a light burst out from behind him.

He turned his head to look at the sudden light reflexively, and there was a black marble floating in the air.

A small marble that emits a hideous light.

– You are very lucky. Because it caught my eye and I got this opportunity.

The voice that seemed to reverberate from all directions changed as if whispering directly into my ear.

-Give me the strength to achieve what you want, a way to turn the eyes of the guards. You just have to accept it.

“…what do you want from me?”

It was such a sweet word that was only good for me, so I started doubting.

At Dino’s question, a low-pitched laughter could be heard in his ear.

– You want only one thing. You are using that marble. And show me the result!

His voice had a strange charm that captivated people.

Dino’s hand, possessed by the voice, slowly extended toward the black marble.

Dino, who checked his item information while holding the black marble, smiled deeply.

“If only this…”

It seems to be able to inflict serious damage as well as diverting the guards’ eyes.

To do so, it was necessary to roam the ground bone-in-the-bone.

* * *

“Keukkeuk, good, very good. You move hard.”

Gagon smirked as he saw the figure of Dino through the crystal ball in front of him.

I was about to give the marble to whom after receiving Hayden-sama’s order.

Meanwhile, there was a cave full of malice, so he looked into it.

And there was Dino.

What he wanted and his purpose were perfectly aligned.

He wanted the power to turn the guard’s eyes, and he needed a puppet to test the black marble.

Gagon was delighted to have unintentionally found the right talent.Even now, I really liked how hard it was to move.

“Gon, what are you doing?”

“Luciel? What are you doing here?”

A woman approached Gagon, who was smiling, satisfied with the way things were going as expected without any minor noises, and spoke indifferently.

“I’m just curious because I heard that Hayden gave you something.”

Gagon laughed out loud at Luciel’s words.

“Yeah! At last, Hayden-sama has accepted my mantra! From this we are going out of this narrow place!”

“…Isn’t it too narrow here?”

“Murgun! Back off too much!”

Gagon spat at Luciel’s words.

I didn’t like her loser-like reply.

All of the guys today have lost the will of their predecessors.

Too tired of peace

Gagon got up from the chair he was sitting on, opened the door to the large balcony, turned his back to the scenery outside, and said with exaggerated movements.

“If there is a world wider than this place! No matter how wide it is, it is natural to be narrow! I cannot be satisfied with just this place! Like our predecessors!

Despite Gagon’s tremendous heat, Luciel’s expression was still indifferent.

“…Yes, Hayden-sama’s orders.”

“Yeah! Hayden-sama’s orders! He’s finally changed his mind!”

Luciel didn’t listen to Gagon’s words until the end, and turned her back.

Her expression, moving away from Gagon, was still indifferent as usual, but Gagon did not notice that there was a hint of regret.

It was a pity for Gagon’s future that would soon arise.

For Gagon, the tendencies and influences of his predecessors remained too deep.

Gagon may not know that it is a nuisance to all of us.

Even if you knew, you would think you were right and we were wrong.

Because Gagon thinks that his thoughts and the words and actions of his predecessors are all right and that we should do it.

Even though it’s not like that now.

‘… Weeds that damage everyone should be uprooted.’

That way, the lawn will be clean and peaceful.

It is unavoidable.

“Hello everyone! I’m Streamer Laurent!”

– Yes, hello.

-Where are you going today?

– Our Laurent, it’s often in the woods.

-There are a lot of forests in Initium.

Streamer Laurent with a hidden job as a stealth explorer.

His viewers have increased considerably since he recorded and posted a video of Black Heaven and Hoya, not Black Heaven and Lake.

Currently, the average number of viewers is about 160,000.

As the number of viewers increased, the amount of gold given by viewers also increased, so he knew that Laurent’s face would have a smile on his face.

“That’s right~ There are a lot of forests in Initium. Among so many forests, where is this place……”

Thump, Thump, Thump.

At the time Laurent was about to reveal the place, a vibration came from afar.

The screen was shaking a little due to the vibration that seemed to get closer.

‘what? There is no monster here that can generate this kind of vibration…?’

All monsters that inhabit here are flying monsters.

Laurent was about to go to the house of Red Bee, who looked like a red bee.

-What. What is the screen shaking?

– Go! Laurentmon!

-Is this vibration the monster you want to see today?

-Even if it’s not what I wanted to see today, I’m curious about it, so let’s go!

But it looks like we’ll have to divert our direction away from Red Bee’s house.

Because the viewers were curious, and Laurent himself was curious too.

And he also felt the smell of a jackpot.

As Laurent approached the direction in which the vibration was transmitted, he could feel the presence of numerous signs.

And as he approached a certain distance, he saw the upper body of a huge monster above the trees of the forest.

“uh……?”

– Huh, what is it? Why is he in the woods?

-Today is Regen Day… Why are you here?

-But looking at the monsters, honestly, isn’t the forest more suitable than the desert?

– He said he went to the community and disappeared after a few minutes after being regenerated, as if possessed by something, pierced the players?

The upper body of a giant red bear seen above a tree.

It was the field boss monster ‘Gigant Red Bear’ that should be in the middle of the desert.

He was a guy who should have been in a place far away from the forest where the Red Rain lives.

But why am I here?

To be honest, on the surface, the forest was more suitable for me than the desert.

“…Something smells like a jackpot, so let’s get a little closer.”

Gigant Red Bear is the first monster. But he himself does not receive a priority.

Laurent believed it and moved closer and faster to Gigant Red Bear.

As we got closer in the form of chasing the Gigant Red Bear, something as surprising as the Gigant Red Bear was in the forest came into sight.

A group of monsters gathered regardless of their type, habitat, or hostile relationship with each other.

It was at the feet of Gigant Red Bear.

Every time Gigant Red Bear moves, several monsters are trampled to death.

Because of that, there were no monsters in front of Gigant Red Bear.

Even if I glanced around Gigant Red Bear once, it was a horde of more than hundreds of monsters.

Besides, the monster’s condition looked a little different from usual.

It was like… a dog with rabies.

As Laurent and the viewers watching his stream were astonished, a quest arose for him.

[The quest ‘Izbaront’s Crisis’ has occurred.][Izbaront’s Crisis]

You have found a horde of countless monsters that cannot be overlooked.

The place the monsters are heading to is the capital of Ruzeros, the central city of Izbaront.

We must run right now and deliver the news of the outbreak of the Monster Wave.

Completion Requirements: Deliver the news of the Monster Wave to the soldiers of Izbaront.

Success Reward: Slightly increased favorability of Izbaront residents and Ruzeros Royal Family, EXPFailure penalty: none

After seeing the quest that occurred, Laurent’s actions were quick.

“Dear viewers, due to sudden circumstances, today’s streaming topic is not monster observation, but Izbaront’s crisis!”

It doesn’t happen very often to accidentally get such a hit broadcast content.

And the opportunity to increase the contribution of the royal family is rare.

Laurent rushed towards Izbaront, regretting that he didn’t have Izbaront’s Warp Scroll in his inventory.

[Doban: There is actually a hidden restaurant on the eastern outskirts of Ahesha. I also stop by occasionally.][Dovan: Actually, I don’t drink very well. A lot of toddlers make fun of it.][Dovan: I’m in Ahesha now, where are you?][Dovan: Before….]

⋮

Since the day after adding Hoya as a friend, Doban has been whispering to Hoya quite often.

Hoya also responded to his whispers in detail.

But the conversation doesn’t go on.

I don’t know why it’s like My Way, or why you tell yourself such things.

“What are you doing?”

“Huh!”

Hoya was startled by the sudden appearance and voice from behind.

“Do, Dovan-san, you asked me to tell you in a whisper in advance when you came.”

“…I forgot.”

In the past, Hoya was terrified when Doban suddenly appeared next to him for the first time.

A person who had just been said to be in Ahesha suddenly appeared in the hunting ground that Chibin had informed him of and only he knew about.

It is natural to be surprised.

When he asks what happened, he says it’s his skill.

It’s originally a skill to run right to her when her saint is in danger, but as a side effect of her, it is said that she can also use it against players on her friends list once every 24 hours.

Cannot be used when the target enters a place such as a dungeon.

Doban used it to visit Hoya almost every two or three days.

“Is this… Izbaront?”

“Yeah, the only warp scroll left in my inventory is here.”

“Right.”

Hoya was still wandering around the hunting grounds that Chibin had pointed out.

Thanks to that, he used the Warp Scroll to refill the potion, and when he returned to the hunting ground, he was using Mo An’s help.

Hoya walked to the general store to purchase a potion, and Dovan followed him.

Like a baby chasing its mother.

Doban followed Hoya without saying anything.

On the contrary, it felt like the whispers were more chatty.

Hoya was also burdensome at first, but now I’m quite used to it.
