Are you the Devil of the Labyrinth

Fostering Expeditionary Force

A group of Yoohyun left the inn and followed Lute behind. Even if South archers or Gil Yumi were interested in Lute's words, Yoohyun's words were the biggest.

I think you'd better get some training.

At the end of Lute's story, everyone's opinions were united by Yoohyun's murmuring words. The party's leader was Yoohyun.

Yoohyun didn't say that because Lute deliberately gave me an eye. I used to have the idea of training the group. But where do we train the kids?

Yoohyun, who was thinking about where to train, was forced to go to Lute's proposal. And if other players around are trained hard, children will be stimulated as well.

Yoohyun walked behind Lute and looked around.

There were many players around besides Yoohyun's group. Of course, everyone was interested in Lute's words. Those who wandered around the Observatory without direction considered this an opportunity.

You don't have to do anything to be given a break. But there were not many people who liked it. It was a conditional offer, and I don't think I can live here without doing anything.

It's unfair. There's no reason for them to be brought here. But such grumbling is a day or two. No one accepts it, no one is responsible. So we have to move on to ourselves.

That thought was going around in the players' minds. I was taking this irrationality for granted. And all of that may have been what the fairies wanted.

Yoohyun looks at Lute wearing a light armor emblazoned with a fairy symbol, just as he knows he is a soldier of the fairy. Literally a light glove. Lightweight armor, but it protects all important places.

Only the soldiers of the Fairy currently wear such armor. So I had no choice but to look into it. Moreover, dozens of players followed, and some villagers were staring carefully at the door.

“People are staring. ”

Lee Seo-yeon said that his gaze was overwhelming, right next to Yoohyun. Her shoulder touches Yoohyun's side. She acted without thinking, but a few seconds later she felt ashamed.

However, Yoohyun nodded without noticing Lee Seo-yeon's feelings.

“Originally players don't come out of their resting places very well. Some of them come out to market around the temple, but that's a minority. ”

“Is that because it's amazing, too? ”

“That's it. ”

“I see.”

While those who were rewarded through the tutorial traveled around the city to spend money, there were many who did not. It is the majority of those who have not done so, rather than those who have passed.

The inhabitants would have marveled at the sudden crowding of players.

Then, the procession seems to cross the center of the city.

Lute led the group of players, which is thought to be the training camp used by the Elves' soldiers. It was like a vast playground with a dirt floor in front of the player.

Soldiers were still training, crossing obstacles in front of them and running with all their might. The amount of sweat flowing over their faces is not unusual.

Apart from those who were running on the ground, I heard cold weapons hitting around on one side. The flame splashes and the blade closely grazes the end of the flesh, making their face look like they're tired of fighting.

“This looks like it's doing better than I thought. ”

“Then · · ·? ”

I don't know what they imagined, but Yoohyun looks satisfied looking at the surrounding landscape. There were stamps and things like that from afar.

The ground was a little rough for beginners to train with their swords. At least you'll get some basic training there and come out here. Even if the smooth floor rolls over, it will hurt less.

Lute opened his mouth while the players watched the training ground.

“This is the training ground our troops use. Of course, food is also provided, and if you are injured during training, you can also get help from priests. It means that we provide everything we need for training. ”

Some players seemed reassured by the words of a priest. However, it did not seem to be all in favor of Lute's words.

“What do you get for doing that? There must be some people here who will not join the Elf Expedition after training. ”

It was Song Ga-yeon who asked the question. I stare at Lute with a cold look. It was a high school girl who raised her hand, so the players' eyes became more focused.

Lute looks at Song Song Song's eyes and smiles. The girl she knows is asking a sharp question. There was Yoohyun next to him, of course.

“We have nothing to hide. There will be no penalties for dropping out of training, there will be no discrimination between military hopes and non-military people. This was promised by the fairies themselves, so you can trust me. ”

“· · · So, I want to know why. I don't think I'm just sorry for dragging us here. ”

‘Indeed. Is that so? ’

Lute wanted to know what Song Ga-yeon wanted to say.

Why are those who irresponsibly summoned here suddenly giving this help? She was asking only that, regardless of anything else. What should I say to that?

Concerns did not lead to long delays.

Nymph, no. Lute knew what Iris meant.

“The reason we come out like this is simple. because many of you want to be strong fast. Unfortunately, this world is a very ugly place, unlike the world you're in. ”

Along with that, Lute remembered.

Defeated by adventurers, the Dungeons of Nymphs.

Lute, who has been a member of the Expeditionary Force since childhood, has seen many things floating around the labyrinth. Among them were the Dungeons of the Fallen Fairy. High-burning fire. Traces left behind by ashes.

I can't forget the landscape where the farmland that had to be spread out widely had become desolate.

where people live,

No, people used to live,

Every time I looked at a dungeon that was burned and broken, it was a city of mortals that was wrecked.

Blood marks are painted on the street floor, and human corpses roll on the street floor like garbage. Among them were bodies thought to be young children.

It was even worse for a young woman. After Yungan and mockery, he was killed and couldn't even detect his eyes.

The Expeditionary Force saw a lot of that. And made their graves the same every time. Even with hundreds of corpses, it takes time to build hundreds of graves.

I didn't do it in good faith. There is no great reason either. It was a kind of faith.

It's a vague expectation and imagination that if they were to be killed by adventurers, someone would make a grave for them.

After all, it was just a belief that no one would ever give back for sure.

But I don't think it's meaningless.

A cold corpse lays on the cold floor of the maze to feed monsters.

How sad that is.

And if you think that your slaughter will become the body of a monster, you will one day go through someone.

Lute shook his lips and said in a low voice.

“Song-smoking · · ·. Is that you? Yes. You're right. We don't feel guilty about bringing so many of you here. because it's our own balloon, and it's our own means of living. ”

At that time, a large number of players frowned on the glabella. The song I was listening to only sent a cheaper gaze. But Lute doesn't regret it.

Pretenses, lies, they don't mean much.

That may be because I have a hunch. I had to have the ability to tell the truth from lies in order to live. That's why I don't like meaningless lies.

In a word, it is a blindfold and an aunt. People can't believe I lied here. Then let's be honest. That was a more convenient choice in the future.

Instead of coercion, you have to lift the weapon of your own free will.

“I think there are a lot of people who are quite dissatisfied with us. It's obvious, but let me tell you one thing. ”

Lute laughed. The thin snow draws a line. Everyone is staring. I feel the pounding of my heart. A little boy's smile was engraved on his mouth.

“If you don't get stronger here, you're the only ones in trouble. No matter how grumpy you are, no one will help you. If you want to tell us that you want to go home, be strong first. If you have the power in your hands, we have no choice but to listen. ”
