“· · · There was a place like this among the players. Did Yoohyun know? ”

Looking around, Lute asks, Yoohyun shakes his head horizontally. It was the first time today that Yoohyun knew there was such a place. If it weren't for Lee Seo-yeon, I might not have known it in the future.

The current location of the group was a cave hidden in a forest secret.

It was quite cozy inside the cave. I could see traces of people everywhere. There were beds where I could sleep and tools for cooking.

It seems that other people have used this place a lot in the past.

What's amazing about this place is whether the other groups are the same. In the meantime, I've explored Lorelai's Aria a lot and I didn't even think there was a place like this.

Seeing the crowd, Nefa laughed.

“No one knows much about this place. If you know too many people, you can get in trouble. So it was only shared between a few non-combat players. So keep it a secret, too. Instead, you can always use it here. ”

“Yes, but was Nepa a non-combatant player? ”

When Lute asked with interest, Ho, Nefa smiled bitterly.

“That's it. But we're not fighting at all. However, I usually hunt herbal monsters. What our party usually does is hunt meat and sell it to the town. ”

“Hmm. I see. ”

Lute nods.

The meat is mild and tasty compared to the carnivorous monsters that eat grass. That's why meat consumed in most villages was obtained by hunting herbivore monsters.

I think Nefa is a hunter who makes money by hunting and selling meat. Non-combat players, but in a way, they are a big help in the Dungeon's food situation.

Food prices are stable at a certain level because they are hunting hard and bringing it to the village. This kind of hunting was originally done by early players.

However, more and more experience has shown that the ability to fight fierce monsters has increased. Players who perform herbivore monster hunting quests on their own have been reduced by following quests that give them more money.

The growth of the players was enormous, but of course there were those who were still afraid of fighting monsters who risked their lives. Is that what Nefa's party is like?

“I originally decided to hunt through quests, but nothing like that these days. So I've recently been asked by residents to do it myself. ”

“You get a direct referral from the residents? ”

The southern archipelago sparkled with curiosity. So far, I've done the quest through the Quest Board, so Nefa's story is amazing.

“I can't help it these days because the Herbal Monster Hunt Quest isn't going well on the board. That's why I'm being asked to find the people who need meat themselves. Finding a client is a nuisance, but it's worth it if you adapt. ”

Elves originally broadcast quests, but under the same circumstances, there seems to be a direct deal between residents and players.

That's when the southern archipelago asked Nepha about this.

Nefa's colleagues have returned from outside.

They were leaving for a while to dismantle the prey they caught today. When they came with the decomposed meat, there was a pale smell of blood in the cave.

As soon as they arrived, they immediately began to prepare their meals in the cave. The ingredients were the prey they caught today.

Somewhere a large pot reveals itself. It was prepared in the original cave.

Are you going to make some soup? In turn, there were tons of ingredients.

Seeing it, the southern archipelago scratches the ball.

“I heard that that's probably the hunting ground that was originally commissioned, but is it okay to treat us like this? ”

“It's okay. I'm more sorry that I only gave this much to the Silver Man of Life. ”

Nefa said with a gentle smile.

This is what they said they would repay Yoohyun's group.

He said he would cook with the prey he caught today.

In a way, it was rustic.

I wanted to make up for it with money, but I didn't have anything. This was the best they could do when it came to non-combat players living day by day.

Yoohyun's group roughly noticed Nefa's situation and was speechless.

And since I knew this secret place, I didn't feel like I had suffered much damage.

“I'm really worried about the rabiracs these days. ”

Ruden, a colleague of Nefa who was cooking, sighed and said.

The desperation in his voice also felt Yoohyun.

“Honestly, I don't care if there's a quest for non-combatants like us on the board. You can get a direct referral from the residents. In fact, there's a network in its own right now. Some of them are trying to build a clan. ”

“You mean the clan of non-combatants? ”

In Yoohyun's words, Luden nods.

“There's no reason we can't build a clan. I heard that if you create a clan, you can have some commercial activity. ”

Are you talking about Ryoko's clan? Indeed, Ryoko has a commercial activity by setting up a bar. But the bar is not just a place to sell alcohol.

“Anyway, it's true that we're going to cover a lot of quests, but now we have an environment where we can work and live in our own mouths without having to do quests. ”

In Luden's words, Yoohyun recalls Nefa's story.

Nefa said there was a network of residents and non-combatants.

“But I'm so scared to be in Aria these days because of the Labirocks. ”

Luden's voice is dark. My body was slightly trembling.

“· · · Really. I hope they disappear soon. Then non-combatants like us will be able to kill again. ”

It was all because of Lavirac's trap that Nefa was injured today. I was chasing a fleeing prey, and I stepped on the seeds of a salamander that Nefa had planted on the floor with no luck.

Since then, the meal has started after all the cooking.

Luden's dishes were quite delicious. Before being summoned here, it was easy to accept that he was a chef at his own famous hotel.

Yoohyun's group decided to spend the night in this cave.

It was only too late to return to the village when the meal was over, but I had to go deeper to chase the rabiracs anyway. There was no reason to come the same way.

*

When he opened his eyes the next morning, Yoohyun unwittingly smiled at the fluffy feeling underneath his back. Even though I slept outside the inn, my body was light because of a comfortable sleep.

“Did you wake up?”

When I removed the animal hide that I didn't know what I was wearing instead of a blanket, the song song that was awake first spoke. I think it's been a while since I woke up.

“The kids are still sleeping. ”

“I guess so. ”

Yoohyun nods at the sound of his breathing. Lute was also nodding with his back against the wall. It was when I was staring at that defenseless figure for a while.

‘Where did he go? ’

Yoohyun suddenly realized that Nefa's party was invisible. I turned my head and thought that the place where they were sleeping was neatly organized. It seems a little long since I left.

“What about those people? ”

“They got up and left before us. He said he had to hunt fast because there were not many quests left. I said thank you and if I could see you next time, I said I'd see you again. ”

“Is that so?”

Did you share with us the prey you caught in that situation? I think the best is right in their own way. Yoohyun wakes up from his place, arranging his bedtime.

I remember when I asked you to use this place neatly.

While tidying up, Yoohyun noticed that there was something in the place Luden was cooking yesterday.

‘Meat?'

It was when I wanted to know why the chunks of high fat were left so well cut to eat.

“Oh, that was prepared before Ruden left. They told us that you can cook it yourself. I wrote down the recipe, so you can copy it as it is. ”

There came up a piece of paper, according to Song Gae Zin.

It is written in honest English. Which country was he from?

For English-speaking countries, it's only the United States and the United Kingdom. But when I think of the tone, I wonder if it wasn't England.

When I was thinking about something like that, I heard someone coming up from behind me.

“Huh? What about them? ”

Lee Seo-yeon asked in a drowsy voice and repeated the same story Song Ga-yeon told Yoohyun.

Then, Lee Seo-yeon made a sad expression somewhere. I felt sorry for not greeting properly.

After that, another group got up, and when everyone did, women started cooking according to Luden's recipe.

The recipe was written in English, so I wanted to know if it would be difficult, but surprisingly, the children's English skills were proficient. Cooking proceeds as if there were no major problems with interpretation.

With the culinary skills accumulated in the meantime, Luden's recipe was easily digested and a lavish morning was completed that was hard to think of as normal. It felt better than eating at the inn.

“I have to use it several times in front of Uncle Ruden's recipe. ”

Gil Yumi muttered with a satisfactory smile. I didn't like Luden's recipe, which can be easily made even with simple ingredients.

It doesn't feel like a lie to me that it was a famous hotel cook.

After the meal, the group came out of the cave clean enough for someone to come here and use it without any problems the next time.

There is no fatigue. Rather, it is more energetic than ever after a rich breakfast.

“I think I can catch up with the Labiracks today somehow. ”

The southern archipelago shouted so well.

Yoohyun smiled and moved as his eyes livened up.

Meeting with other players. I don't think this is bad either.

If you think about it, I don't think you've avoided the encounter too long.

This meeting won't be bad next time.

I thought about it and walked for about 20 minutes.

Yoohyun's steps suddenly stopped.

“ · · · · · · · · · ”

Yoohyun unwittingly loses his words as he looks at the sights he finds.

There were labyrinths.

It's like dragging the face of a man who thinks he's a nefarian.

He sheds blood on the floor and gazes at Nepha, who is dragged around with his eyes open.

Later, the group also found the sight Yoohyun was staring at and became speechless.

· · · Really.

Yoohyun pulls out his sword, feeling strange emotions that he doesn't know if it's anger or vanity.

Reviews

Someone asked me a question in a note.

The average stat rating of humans is D. C is a human genius. If you don't have any special abilities, you're going to get a stat rating of D.

So you can think of all the players' stat ratings so far as D.

Orc's Birthplace Strength Talent Rank is C and Agility Talent Rank is C for Elves.
