24. Levels that are almost non-existent

* * *

The leader of the party white wolf, Lainia, opened her mouth as she saw her colleagues gathered together.

“Our purpose is to explore the dungeon found deep inside the forest.”

The Archmage’s dungeon guaranteed by Nau, a high-ranking wizard. I don’t know exactly what’s in it, but at least it won’t be something commonplace.

All dungeons so far have been like that. Because there were valuable treasures, artifacts from the ancient times, and secrets left behind by strong men who couldn’t find an heir.

“So— before going to the dungeon, I’m going to decide the most important thing.”

“What’s important?”

“Yes. ─It is a ratio.”

Lainia smiled bitterly as she said that. At her words, everyone gathered here changed their eyes.

Ratio, that is, the question of exactly how many to how many will divide the objects from the dungeon.

I want to divide it according to the number of people, but…….

“Can’t we just divide by the number of people?”

“…… Can not be done.”

“Why?”

“Because Evan is here.”

When her name was called, Evan tilted her head as if asking what it meant. Seeing Evan like that, Lainia let out a sigh, saying that she was still a beginner who didn’t know anything.

“Evan, I heard from Agnes—I was promoted to a super adventurer, is that true?”

“Yes. Would you like to see it?”

“No, that’s it. The important thing is that you are the highest rank in this position.”

A super adventurer. It’s a grade that didn’t exist before, so I don’t know how much to measure the ransom…… When calculated very simply, the ransom is 100 times that of Lainia or other high-level adventurers.

As top-class adventurers earn 10 times as much money on average as top-class adventurers, it was calculated that the first-class adventurers would have 10 times the ransom of the first-class adventurers.

Of course, you can’t calculate it so simply…… Assuming that the ransom price for Evan and the girls was the same, it was still impossible to distribute them according to the number of people.

“I don’t really care.”

“No. We care We will be in trouble if word spreads that you received the same ransom as we did somewhere.”

“Why is that?”

“You really don’t know anything… ….”

She sighed and told Evan why she shouldn’t pay the same ransom. That’s common sense among adventurers, and if they do that, there’s a chance that they won’t be paid properly when they get involved in other jobs.

Actually, the main reason is that if a high-class adventurer receives the same ransom as Evan, who became a swordsman, she was worried that the guild who found out about it might give them a useless penalty, saying that they would buy Evan’s favor, but…… Rania did not go into such detail.

“I’m sorry I can’t pay for your ransom, but…… How about 50%?”

“I like it.”

“Okay, next log. It naturally becomes 10%, but is it okay?”

“Well, I’m satisfied with just one serving.”

The log, who was an intermediate adventurer, said that and smiled. He didn’t like being robbed of 50% by Evan, but he said he was in favor of distributing it according to the number of people remaining.

Having finished her story of her most important reward distribution on this trip, Lainia rose to her feet ready to set off.

“I will leave in two hours. If you have equipment to pack, bring it quickly.”

“Eh- why are you in such a hurry?”

“Even though it was sealed, it is a place where adventurers of advanced rank and above often come and go. It would be a joke if others attacked first.”

Rinia’s party returned to the village in search of safety, but there was no guarantee that she would be able to do so with other adventurers.

Dungeons are an opportunity to make a fortune. It was an innocent thought to believe that adventurers who usually gamble with their lives as chips would not risk their lives to take on challenges.

“—Don’t be late, let’s break up then.”

* * *

A deep forest where high-level adventurers usually carry out missions or requests. A party of adventurers was making their way through this place where even wagons couldn’t enter because there were so many dangerous monsters.

Knock-!

From noble mtl dot com

“There is a monster ahead.”

Anes, who detected the monster at a distance so far that he couldn’t even see it, with the elf’s unique sensitive hearing, turned to avoid the monster.

Originally, they would have hunted monsters and passed by, but now they were on their way to the dungeon, so they refrained from leaving useless traces.

If someone entered the dungeon before the clearing of the dungeon was over, it was clear that a fight would break out over ownership.

Avoiding fighting and just aiming to get to the destination quickly- Evan, who had been in a party, and Log, who had nothing to do except in the dungeon, trembled with boredom.

“Hey, don’t you have a girlfriend?”

That’s why—it was inevitable in a way.

“Yes? Suddenly what…… I don’t have one.”

“I knew it! So, are you a virgin?”

“…… Why are you asking that?”

“This sister is a taste that eats her sympathy-Ah, was it too irritating?”

Sneak peek – Evan quickly turned her head as he saw the log pulling on his clothes to expose his breastbone.

This rain maiden was causing her loss of fighting power now.

Looking at Evan turning his head like that, Log burst out laughing as if he was having fun. I even clung to Evan’s body and rubbed her breasts.

“How is it? Are you going to do it once you get back?”

“Poetry, I don’t like it…”

“A- A man can only become a real man once he does it. —-I will tell you something that noona has never experienced before.”

“—Rogue, don’t relax too much.”

“Ah, no fun.”

Her behavior continued until Lynia gave her warning. Fortunately, she was warned by her leader and looked at the log that retreated, and Evan thanked Lainia.

“Thank you. Miss Rania…….”

“Don’t like it too much either.”

“Yes? It wasn’t that good…….”

“You mean you liked it a little bit?”

Seeing Lainia grunting for some reason, Evan pondered whether she had done something wrong.

While thinking that, the party continued to rest and move on.

In a fight that could never be avoided, Evan stepped forward and slaughtered the monsters as quickly as possible, and the by-products produced in the process were piled up in a subspace by Evan.

“You, you, you- that. Subspace key… ?”

“Oh, you see.”

“…… Where did you get it from?”

“In the royal capital.”

“Royal Road…… Is this really a swordsman…….”

Wizard Now, who saw Evan open the space, burst into amazement, and Log showed her very weak greed with twinkling eyes.

“Evan-kun- can anyone use that?”

“No, only I can use it.”

“A- Please don’t do that, tell me how to use it~.”

“You just grab it and turn it. But it’s engraved with magic so only I can use it?”

Of course, there was no such engraving on the key. Because there was no room left to engrave another magic on the key that was inscribed with the magic that controls subspace.

However, Evan was calmly enchanted, so she lied that no one could use the key, and even lent the key to Rogue, who was still suspicious until the end, and even experimented with it.

“Really, it doesn’t open.”

After turning the key directly into the air a few times, just as Evan did, Log finally withdrew his greed from his eyes.

Seeing that, Evan roughly realized the identity of the anxiety she felt.

‘This person… ….’

Is her thief a thief-Evan started to worry that she might steal something from her while raiding her dungeon.

When the hatred of thieves gained from books and experience began to rise, Agnes and Now opened their mouths at the same time.

“Arrived!”

“Here it is.”

The party has arrived in front of the dungeon.

After the last maintenance, the party immediately opened the dungeon’s seal, and the Archmage’s dungeon appeared.

Evan gently touched the hilt of the sword as he watched the dungeon appearing in front of her.

‘This is… ….’

A dungeon said to have been created by the Archmage. A space where you don’t know what’s inside. A place where even the best adventurers lose their lives if they are not careful.

After watching Evan carefully, Lainia confirmed that she had no problems and took the lead.

“Go in.”

***

The interior of the dungeon was cleaner than expected. At first glance, it seemed like someone might have already stolen it.

But that wasn’t the case in reality.

“Here is a trap.”

“Ah, this is also a trap.”

“—Mmm… It seems like it would be nice to just activate and block it, right?”

While coming all the way here, Rogue, who had been doing nothing behind the scenes and only flirting with s*xual harassment, showed off her skills only when she came to the dungeon.

No traps escaped her eyes, and thanks to that, the party white wolf was able to move forward without encountering any traps.

Thinking of her as just a thief, I exclaimed at her inwardly.

‘I thought he was a shoplifter…… He was an expert.’

Perhaps he read my thoughts, the log who dismantled the trap quickly came to my side and s*xually harassed me.

“Evan-kun, did you think it was strange?”

“…… What do you think?”

“Okay. Is my ass bone seen while sitting s*xy?”

“…… If you know, cover it up.”

“Why am I-? I find it enjoyable for men to spy on me.”

After saying that, the log found the trap once again and moved forward. He disarmed the trap and went inside, revealing a door with a large skull pattern on it, as if telling him not to open it.

“This is… ….”

“I can’t hear anything from inside.”

“No magic response.”

The White Wolf party members quickly realized that there was no problem with the door. Then he sent a signal towards the log.

Receiving the signal, the log approached the door to open it, touched various things, then found the lock and began unlocking it in an instant.

Rogue, who unlocked the lock as if this was her specialty, opened her mouth proudly, perhaps to show off her skills.

“heheheung- There are almost no traps and locks here.”

“That makes me more anxious.”

“Why? What’s missing inside? Don’t worry! There is no sign that someone stole it!”

She told me not to worry, but for some reason my anxiety started to grow.

Log, who succeeded in opening the door, opened it and stepped back. And the next moment, the reactive armor of my armor activated.

“…… What?”

While I was perplexed at the scales that suddenly bloomed all over my body, I glanced inside.

I didn’t see anything. It didn’t matter what kind of attack it was. Even though I just opened the door, the reactive armor was activated.

“Oh- Evan, what else is that? Battle mode?”

“Nice scales, but…… I haven’t seen any enemies yet, so there’s no need to worry too much.”

“Yeah, aren’t you too scared? Scared? Do you want to eat jjichi?”

“…… No, I didn’t trigger this.”

I stepped forward and spoke to the party.

“I was attacked by something, the moment I just opened the door.”

“Attacked? I don’t feel anything…… Now.”

“Yes…… —Impact Search.”

After hearing that, Nau activated his magic. In an instant, a barrier appeared in front of her and blocked the door, and the activated barrier was destroyed within seconds.

Seeing that his magic had been destroyed, Nau frowned and opened her mouth.

“It’s magic radiation… ….”

At those words, everyone in the party freaked out.
