Are you the Devil of the Labyrinth

In the morning, Yoohyun and his group moved to the gateway. If I missed today, I had to wait a week to get to Carnaden. Gateways consume enormous magical power.

Since it was impossible to maintain a connection every time, there was a set amount of time between the dungeon and the dungeon. The only time leading up to Karnaden and me was yesterday and today. In the case of Ryoko, I went to Karnaden yesterday at a connected time.

“Hmm? Where's Lute? ”

As everyone was getting ready to move to Carnaden, Gil Yumi asked,

“He'll be here soon. I have something to see for a while. I went to the temple. ”

Yoohyun replied, looking in the direction of the temple.

Looking at the temple, Yoohyun recalls what happened last night.

The unidentified horseman was undead.

But the curious thing is, I didn't feel the undead energy.

I wanted to investigate more, but Undead began to vanish at the same time.

He blew out a blue flame and burned his whole body, so there was no way to stop him.

Then that's how they disappeared last time.

‘Then I didn't miss it. I killed them all. ’

One question arises. Then who the Horseman Tracker is chasing right now?

At least I don't think they were fighting Yoohyun.

They must be dead. No matter how undead you are, there's no way you can see them fleeing in the middle of a fight. The whole body was torn apart by the attack, and the blue flame disappeared.

... my head hurts.

I can't imagine how much time I'd have to spend chasing this case to the end.

Yoohyun slowly toured the group.

I became incredibly strong. Lorelai's situation made me incredibly strong.

But that doesn't mean that you have a strong power in the maze.

It just got stronger among the players. On the whole, I think it's weak.

Adventurers as skilled as the group are now widespread in the maze.

Not only adventurers, but also human beings.

Carnaden is different from Lorelai.

There must be tons of resident expeditions there that I've never seen before.

Unlike Lorelai, who used to do everything as a player, he is now competing with a free expedition made up of residents. Since the worlds were different, there would be many conflicts.

It's a big deal when you think about the conflict between the player and the player.

I get stronger, and for now, I no longer have time to care about the Undead Horsemen, which is the priority goal.

However, if there was one thing I cared about, it was yesterday's words.

At first I thought all the players were like you. But it was very different. Why? Why are you the only one who's different? Is there a reason? Please let me know if you have any reason.

‘Are you interested in the player? ’

Yoohyun had a hunch that they would reveal themselves again in the future.

While Yoohyun had complex feelings in his chest, the group waited for Lute with a grumpy face to see if he was expecting to head to a new dungeon.

I wonder if I've waited 10 minutes.

I can see Lute walking from the direction of the temple. The group began shouting at Lute with all the baggage they had laid on the ground.

Lute speeds up his steps and arrives and bows his head.

“Oops, I'm sorry. I'm very late. ”

Lute's eyes turn to Yoohyun as he apologizes.

Like I have something to say.

But I didn't have time to listen now. Now the gateway was supplied with magic power.

Lute notices it and laughs bitterly and hears his burden on the floor.

“We'll go over the details first and then we'll do it. It's going to be a long story. ”

“I see. Apparently, I don't see much good news. ”

It's Lute pretending to care about the crowd's gaze.

It was difficult to avoid Yoohyun's sharp eyes.

Yoohyun stands in front of the gateway as he sees Lute nodding quietly.

As Yoohyun's group seemed to be late, the people who were waiting for the Gateway to be activated were already heading to Carnaden.

Turning to the side, the priest who manages the gateway says to move quickly.

*

Carnaden.

It had a really nice landscaped city. The group went down the stairs, staring at the landscape of a gigantic city, perhaps larger than Roberia.

Carnaden's gateway was built on a high hill, and as soon as it came out, the view of Carnaden was at a glance.

Unlike Roberia, which was planned, Carnaden had a complex net-shape with a complex building layout.

With a significant population, the market is vibrant along such a large path. I could see a path full of people's heads from afar.

But that's what's important, too.

“.... wow. The walls are enormous. They look taller than Roberia. ”

The southern archipelago glittered as if it were a wall piled up all over the city. There is something like that in Roberia, but I don't think it's as much as Carnaden.

Moreover, considering Lorelai, who was barely guarding the village with a wooden book, the walls of Carnaden had to be more impressive.

I thought that there would be no problem with any monster raid on that wall.

If Lorelai had something like that, she wouldn't have been attacked by wolves.

Thinking about it, it was time to go down the stairs looking at the city landscape.

“Argh.”

Yoohyun, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and snorted at Yoohyun's back. I felt like I had broken my bones because I was wearing armor and stuck my nose in a hard lump of iron.

“Brother, why did you suddenly stop? ”

Around the time of moderate pain, the southern archipelago slowly raised its head and asked Yoohyun.

When Yoohyun looked at something without an answer, he couldn't stand the curiosity and confirmed that Yoohyun was looking at him. Somehow the front is noisy. I'd say it's loud, actually.

“Come to the Red Beard Inn run by Chef Kao with the best culinary skills in Carnaden! ”

“How about a desert night inn 5 minutes from the Expeditionary Guild!?

“Come to the Blue Moon Inn between the Mayor and the Expeditionary Guild! Follow me now and I'll give you 20% off! ”

The young children were shouting loudly in front of him.

Of course, the targets were those who had just come to Carnaden.

Apparently, too many young children grabbed him and said, "I can't shake him off easily."

Eventually, some parties were drawn somewhere by the actions of the young children's audiences.

Are you happy to have a guest? The young children's faces were wide open.

South archers seemed to know why Yoohyun stopped walking.

“Brother, what are you going to do? ”

I asked Yoohyun if it was cute to attract guests who looked like they were only 10 years old. Yoohyun watched the children with arms crossed.

“I have to find an inn anyway. ”

I will stay in Carnaden for a long time, so I will have a pretty long contract.

So I couldn't follow them without believing what they said.

Finding an inn is always a nuisance. Pleasant sleeping has a very important impact on the management of the condition. It was time to look carefully at the children while they were floating.

“Hey, cool brother, why don't you come to my inn there? ”

Suddenly, the first woman I saw appeared behind my back and grabbed Yoohyun's shoulder.

Yoohyun slowly turns his head without stopping.

I said I was relaxing, but I didn't feel the miracle.

Before Yoohyun opened his mouth, "Who are you?" Lute recognized the woman next to him.

“... Huh? Aren't you Sister Lanslet? Why are you here?”

“It's been a long time. Lute, you've become a man of your own, haven't you? ”

Cook Cook, laughing as a woman laughs, Lute scratches the ball and gives a shy face.

Yoohyun glanced at the two conversations that seemed quite intimate and asked Lute to explain who he was.

“Oh, this woman is the senior who helped me a lot when I was a recruit. ”

When exactly did Lute say he was a recruit?

As Yoohyun, I wasn't easily touched. Lute's age was similar to that of the group. Then maybe it was a boy who didn't even turn into a recruit.

“I came out of the army about four years ago, and I didn't know you'd see me here. Should I say five years? ”

Lancelet nods and laughs.

“Hmm? Has it been that long?"

“... It's horrible. No matter how much you left the army, didn't you do it too much? ”

Lanslet smiles as Lute gives a grumpy face.

That lively smile felt like a young girl.

“And you're moving with the rest of the world now, aren't you? Aren't the people next to you all colleagues? ”

“Hmm... I suppose so. ”

“Who was the kid who told me that he would follow me behind Arans and give himself to the army? You're the one who broke that promise. It's horrible. Arans will cry.”

“.. did I? And Arans don't cry like this. ”

At first glance, the Lute doesn't seem to beat a woman named Lancelet.

I felt like I was caught up in the atmosphere, though roughly.

There Yoohyun intersected between Lute and Lancelet.

“Are you running an inn? I think I told you to come to my inn earlier. ”

“Oh, that? Yes. I run an inn now. Do you have any plans to come? I'll give you a discount if you come. ”

.. will be okay.

Yoohyun, staring at the face of a single smiling woman, nodded.
