Are you the Devil of the Labyrinth
Demons of the Maze
“What do you mean, 200 gold hanging from our necks? ”
Surprised by Lute's question, it was the group that was around him, not Goblins. Unless he heard it wrong, Yoohyun's group now has a bounty hanging among the adventurers.
Everyone's gaze was focused on Goblin's face in the morning.
Goblin looks nervous and slowly opens his mouth.
“Kick... Kirk. Literally. You have a huge bounty on your neck right now. Not just us, but all the other Goblins are after you! ”
At first, the mosquitoes spoke in a wing-wing voice, and then screamed so much that their ears hurt. It's as if the other Goblins will take revenge instead.
The group smiles bitterly at the Goblin's pupils, who seem to have a strong emotion.
It was a pretty big amount of about 200 gold. The problem was whether the money spent by adventurers and the money spent by humans were the same, but in a tone of speaking, it seems to be quite a big amount.
Does that amount to them?
In a way, what Yoohyun wanted was to attract the attention of adventurers and gather them.
"Success?"
Goblins continued to glow when everyone thought so.
“You will never survive! Monsters in this maze! ”
“............ ”
No one was angry at the sound of it. Goblins under Lute's feet were so miserable to be angry with. Rather, it felt pitiful.
I wonder if I can get back to the way I was when I lived here.
Lee Seo-yeon turned away from Goblin with a bitter smile on his mouth. From the Goblins' point of view, they were certainly genocide. But I don't regret it.
Lee Seo-yeon understood well that this should be the case here.
“Kirik.. Are you looking at me pitifully! ”
Goblin frowns at the crowd's eyes.
Anger fills my head with intense anger that seems to be seemingly black in front of my eyes. I think it's because I know this is my last place to be. Now the fear is gone.
Goblins raised their voices even more. Lute watched as he was screaming evil.
When emotions soar, they throw up more things without even knowing it.
In a way, the same condition was what Lute wanted.
So Lute slowly let go of the life that was tightening Goblins. Don't let him notice. The result was a one-off effect.
Goblin continues to talk without reading Lute's thoughts.
“Even if we fail like this, you will be attacked by many adventurers in the future! From now on, you won't even think about sleeping properly at night. Queekekeke!”
Goblins smile cool. Goblin laughs so much that he chokes on himself.
“And most of all, there they are. Now that they've started moving, you're done! ”
Goblin twists his lips and laughs offensively. Lute, who was dealing with Goblins who seemed to have some strong trust, slightly frowned.
“What if it's them?”
Maybe there was a movement in the famous Goblin clan.
It was definitely intimidating if you came to the clan. Difficulty is completely wrong with annihilating multiple parties at once, as in the past.
As a lute, it was Chalna who was thinking only roughly like that.
The words that came out of Goblin's mouth were far from what Lute thought.
“Black Steel! ”
At first I wanted to say something. But there was one thing that quickly touched my brain.
“..... if it's black steel. You mean the Dwarves? ”
Lute looked surprised because of the name he knew unexpectedly. There is one thing that comes to mind when it comes to black steel, but I wondered if that's what he was thinking.
And so was Yoohyun. When I heard the story from the side, my body flinched. It wasn't very revealing, but it was a noticeable response if someone was watching Yoohyun continuously.
Black steel? Why is that here? ’
Yoohyun also stared at Goblin with a face similar to Lute.
Black steel.
It was a name I never thought I'd hear in this maze.
Why did the Maze in Goblin City suddenly come up with a name related to Dwarves?
Black steel was a clan made by Dwarves. The scale was enormous enough to make it easy for them to target a metropolitan dungeon on their own.
Someone says if they decide to attack the dungeon, they'll be able to see Siege Weapons roaming the maze. It's like a joke.
But it was more problematic because it wasn't a joke. If they were, they would actually be.
However, it is clear that Black Steel is not a lightly visible group. Their strength is enormous, and Yoohyun has fought the Black Steel Dwarves several times.
They make you sweat cold every time you fight. It was also the only group that could handle firearms. Fortunately, intensive research is not being done towards gunpowder.
‘Why are those nuisances? ’
I don't know if it's because I have a serious face. When I saw Yoohyun, my group was also in a serious mood. Lute and Yoohyun had a face that seemed to know something, but it didn't look very good.
That made the group anxious.
Langshashen, who was reluctantly watching, couldn't bear to ask them both.
“... what the hell is black steel? Yoohyeondo and Lute don't look very good either. ”
“...... Mmm. That's it.”
Lute scratched the ball and thought about what to explain.
From the Goblin's perspective, it seems like the black steel Lute knows is right. But I couldn't understand why they were in the story right now.
So I can't be sure. I need more clues. I needed more clues that the black steel he knew was right. It was a pretty heavy story to convince.
“Wait a little longer. I still need to hear more stories. ”
Yoohyun glances at Lute, speaking boldly to the curious group and Langshashen.
In Yoohyun's eyes, Lute nods a little.
It turned into a heavy atmosphere somehow that began lightly. Lute stares at the Goblin with cold eyes, erasing all of his playful smiles.
From this point onwards, we must be serious.
When Lute changed his eyes, Goblin's complexion, which had just been buzzing excitedly, turned white. Goblins only realized that. The opponent was deliberately releasing him.
“Kirk... Kirk!? ”
Lute brings the blade of the Dagger to the front of Goblin. There was no longer a gentleman who only felt pleasant.
“... Here we go. You're going to have a lot of questions. I would be grateful if you would kindly reply. ”
Goblin regrets it. He realizes that he told a useless story.
Maybe it's been about 30 minutes.
After obtaining all the information you could get from Goblin, Lute killed Goblin without hesitation. Just before his death, Goblin was already half dead.
So it actually feels like he killed the body one more time, but...
“... Hmm. So... those black steels are pretty dangerous, huh? ”
Nam Gun Min looked at Lute and Yoohyun's atmosphere and took out nonsense.
I heard about Goblins behind Lute's back, but I honestly don't know how dangerous they are.
I had to do that in the first place.
The only animals the Southerners have seen in the tutorial were Goblins and xenophobes. Even if the word Dwarf suddenly pops out, there is no way to understand its seriousness.
A situation where you only understand that Black Steel is a group of Dwarves.
On the question of the South Archer, Yoohyun toured the group.
Everyone has a sunken face, whether because of the atmosphere or not, but they don't seem to know much. Song Ga-yeon and Langshashen were just waiting for the story to come out without a word.
“... Hmm. ”
Yoohyun unwittingly tried to explain black steel to them, but the story barely stopped before it came out of his throat.
I'm sure you know about black steel in your own way, but to explain that, the group's gaze was troublesome.
If you ask me where I learned about black steel, I don't know what to say.
Even if Song Gyeong-yeon found out about it in the book he was reading.
‘I bet this isn't a little bit. ’
There should also be a line in the information you know. In that respect, Yoohyun decided to leave this to Lute. Fortunately, Lute seemed to know something about black steel.
Yoohyun didn't miss the serious look he had on Goblin. That would have been the same for the rest of the group. Maybe he had a similar look on his face to Lute.
Lute, who had been moping for a while, finally opened his mouth.
“Well... everyone will be wondering. Why do I look so bad when I say black steel? I'm a little embarrassed to think about it now. ”
Speaking of which, Lute stares at Goblin's corpse lying a little further away. I still wonder if my heart Goblin knew what I was doing right now.
Hmm, Lute sighed and said.
“Black steel is a clan made by Dwarves. All members of the clan are Dwarves. But the problem is that they're clans, but they can't be seen as clans. ”
“Um...? What's that supposed to mean? ”
Gil Yumi nods at Lute's strange words.
Lute laughed at her reaction and said:
“Simply put, they're not the right group of adventurers. ”
