Are you the Devil of the Labyrinth
Fostering Expeditionary Force
The expedition story that Lute had suggested spread quickly among the players so that they could stand out. Yoohyun, who stayed at the inn for a while, was also able to reach her ears.
“It's like someone spread it on purpose. ”
“Yes? What? ”
“No, nothing. ”
As Gil Yumi blinked and reacted to the unwittingly murmuring, Yoohyun listened to the story from the side with a bitter smile. At the same time, the story was coming from a table nearby.
“What are you going to do? ”
“· · · How to do it. You have to do it. You can't stay like this for nothing. I talked to the people here and they didn't seem to be willing to hire us at all. ”
“Damn, why didn't I follow you then and die in the tutorial. ”
“What do you regret now? It's a good thing he died there, but he's alive again. ”
It was a story that was scheduled from the beginning. Players who have not cleared the tutorial will need less money. Unlike players who have cleared the tutorial, those who have not cleared will not receive any rewards.
The players' resting place provided them with basic accommodation for a period of time, but that did not mean that they were given even entertainment. Apart from the basics, everyone needed money.
Among them, the difference between a clear reward and one gold was enormous. It wasn't as luxurious as I thought it would be, but it was a small amount of fun. Those who were drinking nearby right now were the target of the Seagland for those who could not complete the tutorial.
It is time for those who are extravagant to be jealous of the tutorial rewards they receive. And it will feel burdensome that they have limited time to stay at the inn for free.
Probably because of that.
The expedition story that Lute talked about a few days ago is spreading fast among players. No wonder there were more players who didn't complete the tutorial. Lute's story was fascinating to those in need of money.
Joining Lute's proposed expedition means you get a chance to make money.
Moreover, a good image of the expedition was circulating among the players. The reason was because of the players who participated in the Lorelai Expedition, and the fact that they were able to ensure their safety with items such as return stones made everyone harsh.
“You're ready to go to the temple today, aren't you? ”
At the end of a simple meal, the southern archipelago carefully brought out the story. He was tired of spending time in the inn. Yoohyun told me to rest until I get my reward.
“I should. I can't reward you for going a little late, but there's no reason for you to be late. ”
Yoohyun nods as he looks down at the empty bowl. Yoohyun wanted to give the group a break while the fairies thought about rewarding the players who joined the Lorelai Expedition. I intend to proceed with my work in full vigour.
And most importantly, for the biggest reason, I just needed a moment to think. Yoohyun, who can say he knows more than anyone else, was a little pointless at the moment.
I know the future, but that's a long story ahead.
Furthermore, the future may change greatly as he moves forward. So Yoohyun decided not to mind what would happen in the future. No, exactly.
‘I'll use what I want to eat. ’
At least the Arias they know are willing to check. I think there may be a majority of arias that haven't been created yet, but there's nothing I can do about it.
The maze is spacious and complex. Areas deep hidden in such places are often not found for a long time. Things that were only discovered after a long time in the time when Yoohyun was active.
Yoohyun knows where it is.
There are other useful places. The problem is that to find such a place, it is necessary to lift the forces of the group to one level now. Many children are still lacking. From there, it was Yoohyun's job.

“Here comes the good fruit. Everyone, take a look around. There, player. I'll make it cheap. How about one? ”
The streets of the arrived temple were still full of people. The residents who have been acting around the audiences seem to be upset. Residents quickly adapt to players.
And most of all, they were new customers in their business, so they were mostly greedy. However, Lorelai Expeditionary Force will have the greatest impact.
In a way, only 10% of the players in the city participated, but not just a small number.
“Hey, a nice apple came in today, why don't you go eat some of this? ”
“Yes, I will. I just had breakfast · · ·. ”
“Then you should eat one for dessert! ”
A man running a fruit shop on his way to the temple gave Lee Seo-yeon an apology. The crowd burst into laughter as they could not easily shake people apart, whether they were adults or not.
I couldn't help but notice how unsettled I was.
“Uncle, how much is that? ”
“Just give me 10 coopers per dog. ”
“Hey, can you cut me some more? ”
“· · · Hey, don't you think that's a little harsh? Honestly, 10 coopers is cheap? ”
“Hehe, then give me five. ”
I asked her to cut it, but she also knew it was an absurd demand. She nodded her head with a smiling face and pulled out a pocket of money. I heard a roar in my pocket.
It doesn't carry all the money she has there. It's hard to lose even if you lose it. That's why I was carrying only the right amount of money in my pocket.
Gil Yumi approaches the group with a gun in a paper bag with an apple in it. Then he handed it over to the group one by one and smiled.
“The apple you eat in the morning is gold apple, right?
The southern archipelago smiled as if she was in doubt after receiving her apology.
“What, you live? ”
“Shall I get some money then? ”
“Well, thank you. I'll eat well. ”
The sound of crunchy chewing is very mild. The southern archipelago immediately swallowed half of the apple in his mouth and nodded. It seems to taste pretty good.
“It wouldn't be bad to buy a piece of fruit sometimes. I mean, saving too much money. Right, brother?”
Speaking of which, Nam Gunmin stared at Yoohyun. Yoohyun unwittingly laughed at his words. Yoohyun has never spent money on anything like this. Thanks to this, the group also became vague about spending money.
Yoohyun nods, noticing what the southern archipelago wants to say.
“It would be nice to do this sometimes. Besides, this time again, I'll make some money as a reward. ”
Useful equipment has a gold price. To be honest, saving a few bucks on this doesn't have a big impact on buying equipment. What mattered was how much profit he had made in the maze. If you get a little pleasure with this, it is a big gain in itself.
It was time to head to the temple with a glossy apple in hand in the morning.
“Looks like everyone else came to get a reward, too. ”
Song Ga-yeon said as he looked at the people gathered in the temple. It wasn't that difficult to distinguish between residents and players. It has not been possible to melt naturally here for a short time. Or it may not be possible in the future. It is that the world has lived differently.
I wanted to wait a little while to see the people gathered in front of the temple.
“Huh? The door is open. I think I just got here on time. ”
Fortunately, as soon as I arrived without waiting, I could see people entering the temple. I can see Leah guiding the player up the stairs.
“I'd appreciate it if you could all stand in line calmly! ”
Somewhere, he still acts like he's a snob. However, because of the appearance of a young child, the players followed her instructions as if they didn't care.
“Then let's go in. ”
I had to wait in line a little, because there were those who came before me. But it wasn't very long, so it didn't take long. The group entered the temple.
The appearance in the temple has not changed since the last time. And it will not change much in the future. Following the procession in front, we entered deeply and the door welcomed us, thinking there would be a fairy.
Yoohyun, who was looking at it, wondered.
Is Iris waiting for you beyond that gate again this time? If you think about it, why was Iris there when you paid for the tutorial? I feel a little confused about that fact.
“And it turns out Iris couldn't have run this city? ”
It was meaningless to recall a blurred memory somewhere. I keep thinking about it, but I can't think of a story that will pierce my heart.
But one thing is certain: the fairies that govern this city.
“· · · Where is Roberia? ”
The name of the city is Roberia. But why can't I see a fairy called Roberia?
When did he first know Iris before returning? Thinking about it, Iris was the fairy that was originally in the city of the beginning. I don't think so.
Yoohyun frowned. The fact that the memory is cut off sometimes makes it this uncomfortable. I would have been comfortable if I hadn't known, but the memories that remain vague are always like this.
In the end, Yoohyun decided not to worry deeply. In the first place, if you think about when the time is now, you might have done this for a while at an early stage that you don't know very well. I know the future, but I don't know it now.
It was around the end of my troubles.
Yippee.
The door opens. The group enters, watching the brilliant light fall from inside. Iris was waiting for Yoohyun inside as well.
