The eastern part of the labyrinth city is less secure than the southern part, where more adventurers and workers live.
Because the Knights are barely functioning. Although some murderers and habitual criminals are caught by bounty hunters, minor crimes are almost wild abandoned situations. Among other things, the construction abandonment area is extremely dangerous. Although an attempt was made to build a city hall in a labyrinth city, it was a place where construction was abandoned due to a stack of various irregularities and laziness, such as embezzlement of money to be paid by the person in charge to the builder or dangerous places because of clueless construction.
The first people who lived there were construction workers who lost their place to go. In addition, there has been an avalanche of inquisitors who have lost their place in other labyrinth cities. Renounced in the middle of construction, the dangerous building has been repeatedly renovated by residents in an unplanned and wild view, and is now expanding to the point where it may be called a "labyrinth". The survivors were now standing at the gates of that construction abandonment area. The gate full of graffiti is like a gateway to the other world.
"Sorry, Zem. It's a roundabout.
"Hmm? We went straight from Manhunt to here, didn't we?
It's not like that.
Nick chuckled at Zem's rudimentary reply.
"It's okay. Even though Stepping Man is our destiny, we also need immediate work, right? Besides, when I catch the stepper, he doesn't find it anywhere near my breath."
"I'd appreciate it if you'd say that."
"And..."
Zem called to that point and shut his mouth.
"What the fuck?
"No, anything. Here's more than that...... are you sure you want to come in on your own?
"... basically"
Nick said with a sinister face.
It seemed that Karan had doubts about the way it looked.
"Nick, are you familiar with Ka?
"Just a little bit."
"You know a little bit about it."
Tiana says, Nick nods.
"I did some bounty hunter work at the previous party. It's just that the leader doesn't seem to like this kind of work very much and soon switched to the main labyrinth exploration.... this is the entrance. Let's talk to the gatekeeper here first."
"He said there's a gatekeeper... could it be the other one attacking?
Tiana looked annoying.
"Sometimes that happens. I have about three patterns. It depends on who comes and what you do."
"Different?
"First, around the Sun Knights, they attack with all their might. They're coming at us in a bunch."
"You're so radical..."
"But if you don't, they'll kick you out. So, the next time a human comes, he wants to live here. In that case, he usually accepts me. It's not worth taking care of, but you can sleep in the building, and if you have any connections or abilities, you can join the faction and put them on the job or the mess."
"I see... what's the last kind?
"Bounty hunters, people searching, people like that get through. Except"
"Except?"
"... ma, I'll know soon enough. Let's go."
Nick urges everyone and knocks through a gate full of graffiti.
There are people sitting and crossing the perimeter who come in crude clothes.
One of them, an unhealthy skinny man, watched Nick and the others and called out.
"Look. That's your face... you're a bounty hunter, right?
"Oh."
"Then I can't escort you guys, and I can't tell you where the bounty neck is. Instead, I won't help the prize neck."
"I know, I don't need an escort or a guide."
Nick shakes his head to the side.
Karan looked at it with a decent face.
"... looks like an escort ka?
"I'm not going to stand up and protect you from the guards here. I'm one of them, so I'm just gonna bridge you up and tell you not to attack me. But if you don't hire me, I don't know what's going on in there."
When the man shrugged his shoulder, Karan muttered as he was convinced.
"It means humans will attack us instead of demons. Lo. Either way, I don't need it."
"That's funny, lady. Do you have any information?
A man reaches out laughing naggingly.
Nick put a couple of copper coins there.
"Good for the big mess, have you changed anything lately?
"The other day, the idiot shot the magic and the roof of the capitol was empty. Thanks to you, the guys who were nawabari that place are in a fight with the Barracks at Stargaze Square. Don't walk around Stargaze Square unless you want to get involved."
"Okay."
"Here's another piece of advice. Don't touch Mr. Nargarva at work."
"Nargarva? Who?
"A cleric. These are the new rules that have been created recently to avoid interrupting prayer and healing."
"Heh... you're at peace"
When Nick was surprised, Zem seemed impressed with what he was hearing.
"You're here, even in places like this"
"That's the thing. Go if you know what I mean."
The man messed up his jaw looking troublesome.
Nick and the others kept walking.
◆
"Crusty Zo"
I blurred with a soggy face as Karan pinched his nose.
"Well... you're not ventilated or around the water"
Nick and the others were walking inside the construction abandonment area. Everywhere the ceiling is low and narrow, but surprisingly vast as a whole. Between buildings and buildings, abandoned building materials are used to create and expand passageways, rooms, etc., at will. Therefore, no one cleans it, and it is dysfunctional as a city. In addition to there,
"Wait."
It's simply a bad human gala to live in.
As if casual greetings were exchanged, robberies appear as often as possible.
"You're from the outside, aren't you?
"From here on ahead, it's paid...... SHAHAHA!?
The moment the suspicious men tried to get their swords and axes out of their nostalgia, Nick's fist and Kizna's slap had already cut off the men's consciousness.
"Watch out, everyone, there's someone else coming after you."
"You were a little out of your mind."
"There's no such thing as a boulder..."
Zem and Tiana leaked a tired sigh.
"Well, as soon as the man with the blade approaches, I'll know. You can count on me."
Kizna says confidently.
In fact, it was Kizna who worked here.
It can be handled by using excellent hearing and vision and detecting the proximity of the rogue as soon as possible.
"Uh, I'm counting on you. So, Zem. Somebody wake him up. I want to know where Hale is."
"Oh, that's how you hear it out, Ali,"
"Well Ali, or it feels like Nashi to get his hands on the gatekeeper. And then you're free, or you're open to the wild..."
"I see. Who do you want?
"Isn't the Mohican there like a leader?
"Right."
Close in on one of Zem's fainted rogues and cast a curative witchcraft.
"... ugh, yeah? Hey, what's up front!?
"What is this dialogue over here? Do you know where Hale is?"
The Mohican man immediately tries to eat Nick when he regains consciousness, but Nick immediately takes the man's arm and extremes his joints.
"Guh! Ya, don't!
"You're the one who attacked me, and I won't let you say it's bad."
"All right, all right! Hale, is that a feminine Hale!?
"Well, that sounds like a former host."
"Sounds like..."
"Hey?
"On the east side, it's a building that was going to be a quarterhouse. It's called" The Girl. "I thought you were pulling a pong over there."
"Okay, you just have to ask that much"
"Give me the info."
Nick was stunned by the thickness of the man.
Zem moved forward as he stepped out of his mouth saying what he was saying as he attacked me.
"... you're not gonna die far away, are you?
"Huh? What..."
"It's not good. You're doing the kusley."
"Extra help!
"Is it the kind to fry and inhale? Or do you feel like chewing on leaves and seeds? Drinking makes you feel darker? Makes it fun?"
"Hey, what's up, you?"
"Answer me because it's good."
The man is frightened by Zem's pressure and lags behind.
I have no choice but to start talking about my preferences and situation.
"Hey, I can't sleep. You don't have a choice! I live here. I never thought I'd have a decent life. You guys don't get it."
……
Zem was quietly listening to the man.
And finally,
"It's a sedative herb. Let's use this as an information fee. This is not a strong medicine, but be patient. Don't rely on the couscous you've been drinking."
"Okay, I got it."
"Let me give you more. If anyone else wakes up, share it with them."
"Oh, wow."
The man receives medicinal herbs from Zem as he blacks and whites his eyes.
Zem turned to his companions without worrying about such a man's confusion or anything.
"Well, then, ladies and gentlemen, shall we go"
