Are you the Devil of the Labyrinth
Maze Floaters
Yoohyun decided to watch Lute's behavior behind his back. Even without Yoohyun, the Goblins turned so delicately that they vomited everything they knew.
Still, Lute asked if they didn't want to let go of the rope of tension and put the dagger under the Goblins' necks.
“The first question is simple. What's your name first? ”
Goblins swallowed his saliva as he watched the day it touched his neck.
“K-Kyric Cheddar! My name is Chefa!! ”
Goblin answered Lute's question in a loud, useless voice. Then Lute's eyes curled up as thin as the crescent moon. Goblins tremble even more when they see such lutes.
“Then, Mr. Chepa. I would appreciate it if you could answer my question very hard. ”
Even under these circumstances, Lute did not pay the price.
Goblins looked at him with a dying face, even more terrifying.
Behind Lute, the group was watching Lute's behavior.
The first thing I want to ask you is, Lute, who was thinking about it for a while, decided to start with something light.
“What city are you from? ”
There are many cities above the labyrinth. The numbers were unaccountable and the unique characteristics of each city varied.
Just knowing which city the opponent came from was enough information to help. In that regard, Lute's question seemed to be of little importance.
In response to Lute's question, Chepa carefully examined his colleagues as he noticed the surrounding area.
“Heyra... We're from Heyra. ”
“Heyra. Hmm... Right? It's called the Goblin City, isn't it? ”
“Th-that's right! ”
Lute, who approximates Lorelai's location, was already predicting where Goblins would have come from in front of him. However, he deliberately said loudly enough to reach the group.
Lute knew that the group did not know much about the Maze City.
The majority of Heyra's members were Goblins. Of course, Goblins are responsible for the Guild of Adventurers in Haira.
Those who build their skills in Haira hope to leave for another city rather than stay in Haira.
That's why Heyra has always been such a city that it doesn't exceed a certain level. Moreover, the majority of active adventurers are Goblins, so their ability to pioneer labyrinths has fallen considerably compared to other cities.
That is.
It means it's not a very intimidating place in a maze city.
In that respect, Lorelai can be said to have a good position, but she was unexpectedly hit by monsters, not adventurers. Iris' idea of worrying about adventurers was meaningless.
Lute continued to ask questions with a bitter smile.
“Why did you come all the way to the maze of this district? The nearest town to this area is called Hayra, but it's still a long way from here. ”
“W-why does an adventurer need a reason to walk around the maze? ”
“No.”
At the words of Chefa, Lute shook his head.
Adventurers were free beings. So I don't know when or where to show up. Troubled people.
However, the Goblins in front of us were a few exceptions.
“You're free to walk around, but wouldn't adventurers at your level enter the labyrinth for no reason? Isn't that something you've been asking for? ”
For low-level adventurers, the maze has always been a big risk mass. Adventurers said they were free, but the romance had to be of some level.
It's hard to imagine that adventurers who barely make a living every day were exploring the maze with such romance. Because when they enter the labyrinth, there must be something worth it.
After realizing the meaning of Cheddar Lute's words, the humiliation rises as red as a peach to the bottom of his neck. Blood flows hot. Even a stupid Goblin has no idea what that means.
Your level.
Suffering from his own pathetic reality, which should be based on that insult, Chepa replied:
“... Kirik... yes... there was a quest like you said. ”
“Oh. You mean the quest? What does it say?”
When Chefa easily admits it, she spins around inside Lute's sumptuous wall. The Goblin in front of his eyes stares at the Goblin's face, thanking him for being an easy talker.
“I was asked to track down the Iron Horn. If I could, I would hunt them down and bring their horns and hide. He said he would give me the money even if I brought the location. Regardless of how many people do the quest, they pay for the results.”
“The Iron Horn...? Hmm."
Lute frowned slightly as if he didn't like something.
He said that other adventurers might be chasing the Iron Horn. Iron Horn is money. So, of course, adventurers follow too.
The Iron Horn herd was headed towards Lorelai. You can easily reach the vicinity of Lorelai by following only the footsteps left by the Iron Horns.
It was a sigh for Lute.
‘That's not good. ’
Lute just frowned, but not the opponent. You can't be surprised if the opponent winks while the blade is standing under his neck.
Seeing it, Chefa shouts with her eyes open as if it were a misunderstanding.
“Th-that's true! I didn't lie! Kirik!"
“Okay, so don't be too nervous. Mr. Chepa... do I believe you? ”
Now, in response to the chef's cute reaction, Cook Lute spilled a smile.
In fact, there is no response to Lute's ejaculation.
That means the opponent didn't lie. The Goblin in front of you is not a level adventurer who can hide lies in front of Lute's abilities, so it was reliable information.
Chepa bows at Lute's words.
Even though my face is red and shaking, my instinct to live seems to be ahead of me. The more such an opponent, the better for Lute.
Lute, who had been rolling the Iron Horn several times without a sound in his mouth, was doubtful.
“By the way, who asked you to track the Iron Horn? It's Iron Horn. It's a lot of adventurers hunting for money. I think I need more Iron Horn Horns and Leather if I'm going to do the quest. ”
Iron Horn is hard to hunt. It was an opponent who couldn't do anything if he started running with a huge crowd at once, just like Yoohyun's group did.
However, given the difficulties, their horns and hides were quite good ingredients for making weapons and armor, so they were in high demand. For money, adventurers hunt a lot.
At Lute's question, Chepa was immersed in remembrance, as if recalling his memory for a moment.
There was no reason to be interested until who made the referral.
What was important to adventurers was the content and amount of the quest.
Trust in the client is guaranteed by the guild.
The Adventurer simply completed the quest and submitted the result to the Guild.
I tried to recall a few times, but I don't remember. Eventually, the chef shook his head horizontally, sweating a cold cold cold sweat with his back stem.
I really can't help but remember.
“K-Kyrick... I don't... know...”
“Is that so?”
Chefa's answer blurred his face as if Lute were sad.
Then the dagger of Lute snapped into the chefa's throat in less than a few seconds.
It was only after about five seconds that the chef grasped the situation that he felt a violent pain in his neck.
“Huff... huff...! I-I really...! ”
The chefa, who wanders his hands several times to pull out the dagger stuck in his throat, collapses on the floor. Lute looks closely at Chefa's blood under his feet and sees the other Goblin next to him.
Then I ask.
“Don't you know? ”
“Kick... Kirk! ”
Just now, the Goblins became creepy when asked if they had no feelings for what they had done. Even if you want to scream, the sound doesn't leak out of your throat. The horror of not even screaming filled my head.
The man has no hesitation in killing himself. It was a plaque to be built right away without a word.
It was when Lute was slowly pulling out the dagger stuck in Chefa's neck. The blood dropping from the dagger blade adds a portion to the size of the surrounding blood pool.
When Lute grabs the Dagger, one of the remaining Goblins shouts out urgently.
“I know! I know! It's Dwarf! The dwarf was definitely a client! ”
“Right? Dwarf... Hmm. ”
The Dwarves were a good handyman.
So it was common to ask adventurers for special materials that could only be found in the maze.
But is it enough for Dwarves to commission Adventurers with materials like Iron Horn?
Lute knew something about adventurers.
He served as an Expeditionary Force in Roberia, so of course he fought adventurers many times. Among them were, of course, several other species, not just Goblins.
I've fought Orcs, Elves, Demibeasts... Even Minotaurs.
Even if you're an individual, you can get enough ingredients for adventurers to sell to the market. I know I need to pay more if I make a direct request.
Iron Horn horns and leather are good ingredients, but they weren't rare. Iron Horn was common in comparison to the ones deep down the stairs.
.. I'm sure you will?
It was just then that Lute's mind became complicated.
“Let's get there. That's enough for now. ”
Yoohyun, who was watching from behind, told Lute.
Yoohyun felt that the stories the Goblins had told so far were enough.
Now that I knew what other adventurers were aiming for, I didn't need to know the other stories in detail. The important thing is how we move with the information we have now.
Lute nods at Yoohyun's words.
“Okay, but what about the rest of the Goblins? ”
Yoohyun frowned slightly on the question.
“... what are you asking? Of course you have to kill them all. ”
