Defera.

Occupied by adventurers a few months ago, this place is now home to adventurers.

That's why. Many adventurers are still gathering today to provide food and supplies while exploring the maze.

“Hey, what did he say his name was? Car, car · · ·. ”

“This is Carlan.”

“Oh, yes, Carlan! You said you were from Haylah, the Goblin City. ”

“Yes. Is that a problem? ”

As Carlan spills cautiously, the oak with the tattoo on his right arm laughs.

“Well, there's no problem. I'm just curious. How weak are you when you attack a dungeon with three floors and the guild leader dies? Hahahaha!”

“That's, that's, that's. ”

Carlan closes his mouth as he looks around. What the Orcs are bringing out right now is a forbidden story from Haylah. The reason was simple. Everyone laughs like an oak in front of their eyes.

The third floor was not very deep within the maze. However, it was difficult to make jokes about the fact that he was killed even by the city's best men without targeting the dungeons that existed.

But it actually happened in Haylah. Not only the Guild Leader, but Goblin's army was defeated. After all, they escaped successfully and the only thing left in Haira is humiliating dishonor.

‘Shit! ’

Carlan trembles as he feels his green skin turn red. It's humiliating. But I didn't have anything to say. Now here, Carlan was just one of those adventurers.

When I yell at the Orcs, everyone laughs at me.

Moreover, the Orcs in front of you were skilled in the famous adventure. Indeed, the level was also higher than that of Carlan. Sometimes I really regret it.

Is it okay to come to a city with such a high level?

But it was also an inevitable choice. Repeated failures have left adventurers stranded on the ground in Hayra. The air is dark enough to feel that the breath is frustrating.

In that regard, it is different here. Everything is full of confidence. Especially in Haylah, we have succeeded in attacking dungeons that we have not been able to accomplish. It's strange not to have confidence.

Carlan looked around with his side tears. There were various races around. The Orcs next door, of course, include Elves, Dwarves, and Demibeasts.

You filthy pigs! Get out of the other bar right now!

Hahaha! Where did you feel this smell like a beast? Here's a cute puppy!

Shut the fuck up!

Kick, bark more! Cute puppy!

Wow! They're fighting again! Stop who! Ugh!? Some lunatic shot a bow!

Of course, if things don't work out between races, growling is the same. For example, conflicts between Orcs and Demibeasts have gone beyond mere quarrels to seeing each other's blood.

It seems to be because of the war that has been going on for months. Especially since the Orcs are winning the Demibeasts in the recent war, we have no choice but to do this as Demibeasts.

One of the causes of the defeat was the Dwarves, but the bow they ordered from the Dwarves didn't come in time, so it was too late to prepare for war against the Orcs.

Recently, the Demibeasts have gotten along well with the Dwarves. Some Demibeasts also heard that the Dwarves deliberately broke their contract with the Orcs.

At least, not fighting in a maze is because there are rules for adventurers. Not as much as in a maze, it should not be fought by inter-ethnic conflict. Fortunately, the rules are still being observed.

Now that he was familiar with the hustle and bustle, Carlan stared at the corner of the pub. There were humans there. He trembles with a frightened face. Seeing that, I wanted to cry.

I made it easy for the Goblins in Haira to see what they wanted to do. I'm sure this is the birthright. It was the difference in competence that the tribe had.

“Hey, what are you doing! You're out of booze!”

“Hiya, Hiya! Yes! Yes! ”

When the Orc hits the horn, a human man falls halfway through his legs to see if his power is released and only raises his body. Carlan smiles bitterly as he runs to get his drink.

The end of the dungeon occupied by adventurers was one of two.

All dead, all enslaved.

Defera belonged to the latter, among others.

Carlan took a small sigh, paid for the tavern, and stood up. I'm just here for a drink, but every time the adventurers pass by, the questions I ask bother Carlan.

· · · Demon of the maze.

Everyone laughed when they told that story. In their view, it was only an excuse for the Goblins to squeeze. So Carlan suffered. I told them, they don't believe me.

Lute reported to Iris and Percy was summoned to the Roberian Temple shortly after. Next to him, Yoohyun was also with him. Percy eagerly asked me to come with him, so I had no choice.

Iris just calmly asks Percy a question. Iris did not see any anger, although he had a sister who might have killed Roberia.

Percy also told me what he knew in a confident manner. I wondered if Yoohyun should have followed her attitude when she talked to Iris.

I wonder if it's been two days since Percy came out of the temple.

This time Iris called Yoohyun. Then Percy asked me if I could come with him, but Yoohyun refused. All I had to do was wait for her to follow me and do it in the temple.

Yoohyun steps into Iris' room and raises his head.

Iris then greeted me first.

“Thank you for coming like this. Yoo-hyun, you came two days ago and I'm sorry to bother you again. ”

Iris bows politely. She said that, but I didn't feel so angry. I was just wondering. Is there something more I want to ask you? Then I would have called Percy.

“So why did you call me? ”

“I have a favor to ask you. ”

“· · · Please? ”

Yoohyun felt bad from the start. I want to go back to the inn because I said I didn't hear it like this. But seeing Iris' eyes, it was also impossible.

It's different from your usual calm eyes. A desperate eye.

I decided to listen to what her request was. There must be a reason for her to look like that.

“You know why. About Percy's sister. ”

“I know very well. I don't know when I'm going to fight her. ”

“What else is that? ”

“It's a long explanation. So what do you want to say? ”

Iris was unaware that Yoohyun and Percy were bound by a contract. What would you look like if you found out? Iris knows that Percy is about to die.

I wondered why she was here, but I didn't ask her in detail. Maybe it was because I was focusing on the story of Roberia.

“Roberia Irias. It's been over a decade since she died. ”

“ · · · · · · · · · ”

Yoohyun stares at Iris without saying anything. She was rarely emotionally transformed. I have a sad face with the name Roberia in my mouth.

“Originally, it was Roberia who ran this city, the dungeon. You know Yoohyun, but the name of this place is Roberia. But I'm managing it now. ”

“Even if the fairy managing the dungeon is changed, the name remains the same? ”

“That's at the disposal of the fairies who manage it. But in a case like mine, it's deliberately left a name. I wanted people not to forget her. ”

· · · That's how much I loved a fairy called Roberia.

“I was actually giving up chasing the unsub until a few years ago. But a few months ago, we found traces of the killer who killed Roberia, and we found out where he was. ”

Iris, who was floating in the sky, came down only to the ground.

She walks around and stands in front of Yoohyun.

“Can you help me chase the culprit? ”

Iris moves his hands and grabs Yoohyun's right hand. Her temperature was cold somewhere rather than warm. But it was a good chill.

Yoohyun sighed.

“How? Percy's sister must be in Bismarck's realm. You know it can be pretty hard to jump out of their realm, right? ”

“Fortunately, I was able to reach Bismarck safely and securely. Even though it's a dungeon close to Defera. From what I've heard, you seem to be having a hard time, too. ”

But in the end it was a coalition of forces.

There is nothing you can do to play separately. Maybe that's still the case now. Even if he belonged to Bismarck, he could have acted personally according to his interests. It's good to think of the feudal rites of the old medieval period.

“Fine. But you don't think I'm going to move for free, do you? What are you going to do with the price? ”

I was going to explore the maze anyway. It just changed the place a little bit.

At least Iris was willing to do her a favor if she paid a reasonable price.

The answer was quick, whether she was already thinking the same demands now.

“This is the pendant of Roberia. ”
