20 – Encounter with the Wizard

“If you don’t have anything to do with other hunters like today, the goblin dungeon won’t be a big deal. Then you should think about the next dungeon in advance. Hung- After all, wouldn’t it be right to go to the Big Bore Dungeon?

Fortunately, she had the same thoughts as me.

“To be honest, I want to go straight to the ‘Fire Monkey’ dungeon, but I don’t think there’s any need to overdo it. And going there alone would be impossible. It would be right to challenge after growing up enough in the Big Bore Dungeon.”

“Tick-click-!”

‘After Big Bore, it’s better to go to the polluted Ant Forest than to the Fire Monkey… Um…’

The fire monkeys roam in large groups, so a party is a must in this dungeon. So, for me, it was just a little bit embarrassing.

‘Even though it’s a bit slow in the Contaminated Ant Forest, if you grow as a Sollo and increase the number of summons, you’ll be able to clear the Fire Monkey Dungeon without any party members. But I can’t let Yeon-hee go around the dungeon by herself forever. It’s also important to experience team play.’

She sits in front of Yeon-hee and organizes her thoughts, when she gets up and sits next to her, puts the pillow she was holding on my thigh bone, and lies down.

“Tak-“

“Is that one slap on the chin an expression you use when you’re flustered? Poohup- It’s really fun, January.”

She was staring blankly at her ceiling with her head propped up against my leg.

“It just reminded me of lying on her mother’s lap like this when I was little.”

For a while, only the sound of Wang Wangi chewing on a bone resonated in the studio. Soon, Wang Wangi, who noticed the unusual atmosphere, bit her bone and sneaked into her arms.

Yeon-hee slowly brushed her white fur like Wang Wang-i’s soft eyes, and after seeing that, I unknowingly stroked Yeon-hee’s hair.

ㅡ!!

Startled by my touch, she turned her head back to the ceiling and looked up at me.

We looked at each other like that for a while, and my hand continued to stroke her hair without stopping. If anyone saw it, it would be a really funny sight.

A woman being stroked on the head by a skeleton and a pup being stroked on her fur.

‘I think it’s a really absurd picture. But… It’s not bad.’

It was clear that she agreed with my sentiment. Contrary to the initial reaction, seeing that his eyes slowly start to close before he knew it.

Soon, she fell into shallow breathing, sniffing her breath, and Wang Wangi eventually ate all of her bones and spit out two of her magic stones from her tail.

– Kiying···.

Even though he spat out the magic stone, Yeon-hee did not give any reaction and fell asleep.

I hovered near her face and gestured to the bewildered Wang Wangi to go away.

‘Whoa- Whoa- Don’t wake me up for nothing, go to your house and stop.’

Growl-

Wang Wangi glared at me dissatisfiedly.

After a while, as if Yeonhee’s magical energy had run out, Wang Wangi turned into small particles of light and was sucked into the portal.

‘It’s good because there are only bones.’

I had been lending her legs to her for more than two hours, but I didn’t even feel any numbness at all, so it wasn’t like I had less merit than a human being.

And then he lowered his gaze to take a closer look at her manicured, jewel-like face.

‘A pretty and pitiful child…’

He was my life saver and a hero who gave his life to save many people.

‘Please have a nice dream…’

* * *

The next day, we headed to the goblin dungeon as usual.

I thought for a while whether it would be better for Yeon-hee to take a day off, but I decided that if Hunter, who was taking attendance every day, suddenly took a break, that would lead to suspicion, so I left the house again.

Around 2 hours after entering the dungeon.

It was when he was scraping out the bones to feed Wang Wangi after he had managed to catch 6 goblins.

‘Three, no, four.’

Yeonhee must have noticed as well, so she moved to a place where it was easy to escape.

“Whoah – we’re not bad people.”

“Says the bad guy.”

“Jin Kyung-ah, please… Can you close your mouth?”

Two men and women out of four approached us and made jokes.

“Summoner Lee Yeon-hee, right?”

With the two bickering men and women behind, a woman who appeared to be in her late thirties stepped forward and spoke to Yeonhee.

“······ Tell us what the business is.”

“Hmm- that’s right. I’m not going to talk at length, we’re looking for a medium-sized village. Would you like to join us?”

‘Oh, if it’s a medium sized goblin, maybe 50 or so?’

A tempting proposal for us, who only found 6 in 2 hours. In addition, even medium-sized battles against large-scale enemies will give you more experience than usual, so it will be unconditionally beneficial for you to participate.

Of course, the premise of surviving must be established. But will Yeon-hee accept this offer after going through that with strangers just yesterday?

“······ Let’s do that. But please place us in the rear support.”

“Hoho, I was going to ask for that anyway. Rumor has it that he is quite good at shooting arrows. We have a sufficient front line, but lack a rear guard.”

As expected, Yeonhee was a hunter with a pulpit. Seeing that I accepted it right away without thinking too much, I felt proud for no reason.

Among the 4 people I saw right away, there were two men who were undoubtedly the avant-garde type, and the woman I was talking to with the woman who had been called Jinkyung earlier was a lieutenant, strictly speaking.

The class that usually takes a position in the middle is a melee dealer, a thief, or a guide like me. However, there was no guide in a low-level dungeon like this.

“My name is Helen. You could call the other three guitars 1, 2, 3.”

“Who’s the guitar, sister~ Sister, stop using that pseudonym, right?”

“It’s my style, so I won’t tackle you. If you don’t like it, please leave the party.”

“Are you going to stick around?”

Just looking at the conversation, it seemed like a team that was quite friendly. And we’re not the kind of people who are good enough to naturally melt into a team with that kind of atmosphere.

Yeonhee was already in a state of crouching, but seeing that, she stepped forward a little more and held on to her club.

“Huh? Is that the summoner’s summoner that I’ve only heard about…”

“It’s just a Skeleton Soldier. What, but a Skeleton Soldier has some back teeth?”

“If you fight, will you lose?”

“You’re laughing.”

“What are these things saying in front of people seeing them for the first time? Seriously! Are you out of your mind?”

The woman, who went by her pseudonym Helen, put her fist over her mouth and cleared her throat a few times before she spoke again.

“It’s about 15 minutes from here. There are already teams on the outskirts that we have talked about. And of course, there won’t be a centurion, right? I caught them there a while ago. And there will be distribution of loot according to the level of performance.”

‘How much spoils do you get by killing goblins? They must be busy taking care of the people who set the table.’

Looking at Yeon-hee, the lady who winked at her in one eye gave her a signal to follow her with a nod of her head. We hesitated for a moment, but as I stepped forward little by little, Yeonhee also held her bow tightly and moved along with her.

‘I don’t think there’s any malice, even though it’s a bit ironic. To be honest, that’s a child’s play level.’

Due to the nature of Hunter’s job, there are many people who use rough language, but the team in front of me were pristine babies with little stain on them yet.

Of course, it was by my standards, and Yeon-hee was very nervous and her breathing was getting rougher little by little.

It takes about 15 minutes to follow with a distance of about 10m. A village of goblins camped on the side of a small pond caught my gaze.

“I’ll easily exceed 50…”

Nod-

And as Helen said, I saw the hunters who were clumsily hiding their bodies.

20 Class F. Yeon-hee joined there, making it 21 members.

It won’t be easy to deal with over 50 goblins with this number. However, the faces of the new hunters looked very relaxed.

‘It’s much better than last time.’

It was a different atmosphere from the hunters who had a major accident in which more than 10 people died. I know that this kind of air is not simply created by people who are breathing, but it is a flow that appears when there are people with certain weapons or experience.

The reason Yeon-hee joined even though there was room for it must mean that there are people who have a number of different cases in mind.

‘Not bad…’

There was no way the loot would come over to us anyway, so we just had to eat clean experience and get rid of it. In that respect, the situation is not much different from the last large-scale battle.

(It’s the first time I’ve seen so many tanks…)

Yeonhee whispered in my ear.

‘Certainly, it’s not uncommon for there to be only one marksman out of 20.’

But if one of them is a wizard, the story is different.

‘Green wand… It’s a natural type. There must be a reason why the hunters’ expressions are bright.’

Since there are more types of magic than those of other magics, it is not known exactly what kind of abilities they possess. But maybe that’s why people show this confidence.

‘The bondage type.’
