- Woong Sung Woong.
As always, the Morning Adventurer Guild was as loud as a pig slaughterhouse with a slaughterhouse. No, I think an abandoned nest full of baby birds just before Asa would be more suitable. Anyway, it would be the same in the sense of longing for life and screaming.
"Yes, Copson. Anything new?"
"Umm... I think there's one floating story."
As always, I came out looking for work and met Copson.
I don't think I've seen it since I defeated the Winter Spirit. Seeing that I have a good face, I decided not to ask my regards.
"What do you mean?"
I'm sorry to hear that all the time, but I decided to shoot beer and Anju, and I've been drinking since morning. Kobson, who sipped the beer at once, trimmed and said,
"Isn't it spring now?"
"Pretty soon it's summer."
It felt like the weather was loosening and the flow of time was accelerating.
Life awakens after digging the rotten earth. The rust, which had already been recovered at a rapid rate, was so gloomy. Even the monsters who woke up in winter's sleep are dying for blood, and they're particularly keen.
The Merchant Guild began to move as the blockade began to break through in earnest. Hungry monsters raided more often.
As a result, the number of escort quests increases.
Well, it's a structure like that.
Even now, the squawking adventurers have decided that more than half of them will be looking for that quest and appealing to themselves.
- Jill thistle.
I waited for Copson to say something while chewing on a jerky. Winter has been roughly the same, and spring is also passing smoothly.
I don't want summer to come soon.
"There's a place where the forest is getting a little woody."
"That's the season. Maybe the plants are happy too."
"No, it didn't seem that way."
"What?"
Copson's face changed dramatically.
"That... the jungle is appearing."
Something disgusting.
He held the mood as if he was telling a tale of nonsense even during the season, and irrationally put the jerky in his mouth.
"The jungle?"
"Yes, the jungle."
"What jungle?"
Seeing as I say, there are areas where plants are growing a little faster... I don't think that's a good story to talk about in an atmosphere.
What the hell is that?
"Usually there's no jungle near this city. Why didn't we go to the dungeon with Sister Elise back then?"
"Oh, that's when I went through the jungle."
"That's it."
Orcota catacombs in the hindbone arch.
It took about a day on a wagon. As soon as I arrived, I remembered walking through the jungle and finding the dungeon.
It's already about last spring, almost a year ago.
Time is running out.
"The closest jungle zone to here is where you have to go. Not right around here."
"So what's the conclusion?"
"Well, I guess I still need to find out more... I'm guessing there's an anomaly in nature."
Anomalies?
"The jungle is expanding."
His eyes looked more than that of a poaching watchman.
If the plants feel good, they can grow more. Plants are fanatics who grow better when they play classical music.
Well, I don't think it's a big deal to talk about. But because he changed his attitude like this, he didn't seem to be interested in his own way.
"So, the jungle zone is emerging. This doesn't suit Yichi. This is unusual. Do you want to say this?"
"That's it. I see now."
Copson, who naturally ordered more anesthesia, changed his posture. Somehow he seemed arrogant, so I followed him.
We toast with pride.
"Hmm... I honestly don't feel that suspicious."
"I almost do, too. It just feels a little weird... I think there's a lot of that going on between adventurers right now."
"I like the information."
"Hmph, isn't knowing the power?"
The jungle, though.
Certainly, if there was a jungle, there would be a lot of money. I think it's better than anomalies.
"It doesn't seem like a big deal, though."
He inhaled the beer and spoke as if he were explaining his absence.
"Well, isn't it the law that causes all this? When you sow and rain, the grain grows. The farmer reaps it, continues his life, and does not sow again in later years. If something strange happens to me, I think there must be a strange cause."
Copson, who was completely oblivious, began to line up something cool, but frankly, it didn't come into his head very well. Originally, drunk men bluff while saying strange things.
"So I mean... hi! Now that something strange has happened, there must be a strange cause. Hmph. Strange cause, don't you smell the money?"
"Yes, you're right. Drink water, water."
I handed Copson a cup of water from morning to morning for hiccups. And he put his forehead on the table and recited it.
"This is my guess... hick! Maybe if something really went wrong, the wizards would start showing interest... then that's when you get the chance to make money... It must be yours... Ugh, Barbarian, what the hell are you doing...!"
You're a scumbag.
I've taken Copson to the inn where he's staying. You son of a bitch... But let's keep the jungle story in mind.
Anyway, this day I went back to my place for a drink while talking to Copson about it.
Afterwards, I spent the day poking around to collect magical plants that grow only in spring with Winia and Claudie.
I don't know if it's because of the wizard. It also made a lot of money.
Winia knew exactly where she was born and what her habits were, and she knew that she would find the best point by putting her experience on it, not just by hitting her with a simple experience like me.
"Hm... what is this?"
Claudie asked Winia if she had picked a nasty-looking mushroom with her gloved hands and a cruelty-looking orange orchid.
"Fresh Iron Ball Mushroom. If you process the poison properly, you can use it as a material made of Mana Potion."
"And what about this?"
"Self-extinguishing herbs, perhaps? Ah, sister. Let's take care of that a lot."
"Hehe. Then."
Something like exploring the natural world.
Anything outside the desert, Claudie is in an exploratory position, clinging to Winia and gaining knowledge of Spring Plants.
I studied poisonous herbs and herbs with a hard explanation next to them. I don't remember everything, but it was a good time to make money and build knowledge in your own way.
"Why are you so interested in power?"
"Academic curiosity."
"I want to see the fierceness of Cat."
Even if it's not necessarily an energetic agent, you can always show Kim Kot in bed at any time. In this way, I gather materials that are worth the money and crush the heads of friendly monsters.
- Teschaaaaaaah!!!!
Spring is a harsh season.
Monsters of this time are not afraid. When I saw Gremlin's work walking around the ship without even knowing the subject, I felt an incredible rage in my heart.
- Papapod!
I immediately grabbed the biggest Gremlin with both hands. He said, 'Techaaaaaaah!!' I shook my arms and legs with a distinctive cry.
"I don't forgive you!"
I immediately defeated the one who lifted it above my head.
- Gujaaak!
In collision with the ground, Gremlin screamed with a strange handset. Claudie looks at it and smiles, and Winia sighs.
At the same time as enjoying gathering and destroying, I will roast a monster like an appropriately hunted beast, so I will spend some time and go back.
One day I was having an extremely peaceful day like that.
- Copson's words came true.
"Babarian. Look."
"Fucking jungle."
"Fucking jungle."
At this point, the story began to flow naturally into my ears. Spring is not over yet, but the unusually grown plants are forming the jungle.
It's a great sight.
"Do you understand what I said back then?"
"I think so."
Early in the morning, I went to the guild by myself, met Copson, decided to improvise and came out of the glottis.
I didn't know it because it didn't go well through this gate, and it didn't really look like "jungle," but "jungle."
Even in the middle of the darkest summer the mountains do not grow to this extent. I felt an apparent abnormality in the strangely grown vines and huge bushes.
- Wooggle.
An armed group of adventurers around me was also trying to get into the jungle by cutting down a bush that grew bigger than my height.
Some of the wizards who came out to investigate were seen, and others were seen as lord's soldiers. I think there's an anomaly as Copson said, so I came out to investigate.
"Well, let's go in."
"I'm so anxious to see this in front of my eyes. Would you two fuck this up?"
I came here to take a look, but it's bigger than I thought. And it felt like the jungle was growing even at this moment.
"I think we should just take a quick look and come out. Shouldn't we do some minimal exploration to find out if there's anything worth paying for? If you want to take a proper look today and feel like it, then you can make the right party and go."
"Glkin. Then let's go. Maybe we should be freaking out about this."
There was nothing wrong with his words, so he drew his sword and entered the jungle zone.
Of course I don't intend to go deeper.
Let's just take a quick look at the beginning and go back.
"Barbarian. Remember what I said last time? I think the phenomenon has its causes."
"Yes, I did. It was a nice thing to say when you were drinking."
"No, booze! That's my philosophy!"
- Spatula.
An unknown green upright vine has grown above my head. It's a knife rather than a long knife. I made my own way with a moderately cut knife.
"Uh-huh. You sound like a philosopher and fall in love. Do you have any religion?"
"Actually, I was thinking about flirting with a girl."
Copson also made his way through the bushes and vines in a busy manner. It is quite unpleasant that the floor feels a bit stubborn... It's a real jungle.
"Hey, Copson, but this wasn't the jungle, was it?"
"That's why I think it's weird."
"Hmm... It certainly doesn't make sense to grow up like this in such a short time."
No, I think it might work.
It was worse when I was in the army.
After only a day, it was the brave plants of Gangwon Province that covered the ground. I thought if I was careless for a moment, I would die by weeding in a barrel that rises out of here.
Thinking of the memory of that time, I sharpened my knife, and I felt so disgusted that I could cut the bush.
- Shh! Shh!
"... a tremendous force."
"Son of a bitch. Come on. It's a joint."
"That's good!"
By joining forces with Copson, I was able to get through the bush. Roughly half an hour and I'm out of the way.
This seems to be enormous.
"This is..."
"... hmm."
As we passed through the bush, it was literally the middle of a lush forest with fantasy mysteries. Oddly grown plants and irrationally grown trees. And proper humidity and... flying bugs.
It's so exotic.
A little bit more exaggerated, the mountain feels like a hinterland has turned into an Amazon. Somehow, the bush in the back felt like a wall.
"Hey, Copson. Let's gather some Magic Herb or something once we get in."
"I hope so."
Agreed to do a little exploration and farming and went into the jungle.
Let's go in too far, but let's not.
