36 – Wizard’s Curiosity

“Hey, are you wearing any artifacts? It’s a spring that never runs dry.”

“Yes? Oh, no…”

“Puhahahahaha, I just meant it as a joke. What kind of artifact is that for E-class people like us? I was very surprised that he handled magic so efficiently.”

“No really, don’t you want to keep going with us? We can adjust the settlement ratio to your liking.”

Even Suran, who was lying on the floor, was actively proposing to be scouted in front of Yeonhee.

Looking at Yeonhee restlessly looking at me, I wondered if I should help her for a while, but since they aren’t bad people, I thought I should give this experience a try, so I just let it go.

At that time, someone approached me, and when I turned my head, the wizard Yudali was staring up at me.

“What are you… What the hell are you?”

‘Hmm? What is this again Did you notice something?’

“How could that be… It seems that the structure of connecting the thread of magical power is the same as that of the other summons. It feels strangely different. Didn’t you judge by yourself earlier? Did you take the ironclad?”

‘Wow… Look at him. Do you have a good feeling?’

“Hey, over there!!”

When Yudali, who was deep in thought about something, was immersed in her thoughts while fiddling with my arm, Yeonhee, who was on the other side of me, jumped up and settled down between me and Yudali.

“What, what are you doing?”

“Huh? Ah- just something. Like studying summons in another field? Technically speaking, I’m also half a summoner.”

‘Hmm- not really. I have nothing to say even if I say that materializing plants is summoning them.’

Of course, the principle is completely different.

“Ugh… But you can’t just touch my pet…”

“Yes? Ah- I see. I’ll be careful in the future.”

Yudalli coolly bowed her head and apologized, and Yeonhee was greeted with carelessness. Then he stayed close to me and whispered.

“If someone else comes, be careful, Sunwol. If a bad person gives you something good and wants to follow you-“

I said something, but I’m not some kind of 7-year-old kid…

Anyway, the aftermath of the battle was short, and maintenance was quick. If I stay longer in this bloody place, I might have to repeat the same battle again.

Of course, there was little chance of that happening as monkeys keep their territories apart at regular intervals, but it wouldn’t hurt to be careful.

We quickly began cutting off the monkeys’ fingers. The tip of the middle finger of the fire monkey’s right hand is used as a subjugation mark because it is black and hard as if it was scorched, though it may be because it often throws flame bullets.

The price was slightly lower than that of the Big Bore, but the number was good, so the income was good. And two of them were dropped, including the rune from the body of the captain.

Both of them were runes of flame like fire monkeys, and they are runes that increase fire attribute attack power by a certain number.

“If I don’t actually have this, I’ll do it after the sale.”

First of all, it was Han Man-wu who received the rune, and since it was precondition that no matter who would drop the rune, it would be 1/n, so other people had no complaints.

‘There’s no need to buy it with cash. It won’t change much just by wearing a normal grade property rune.’

If you are a hunter who mainly deals with fire, the story will be different, but in general, runes with attributes are less valuable than universal runes.

After collecting the loot, we left our seats and took a break by taking a seat near the stone wall where we could lean our backs.

“I’ve only fought three times, but I’m already making quite a profit. I’m lucky.”

If you roughly look at the profits so far, it will be at least 3.5 Million won. 700,000 Won per person. It was an amazing amount for an income earned in less than four hours.

Of course, it was because I was lucky enough to get two runes, but everyone’s faces were already full of smiles. This is because unlucky teams may not even drop a single rune even in a 100-man battle.

“Let’s take a break here, have a meal, upload one more thing in the afternoon and go back. We’ll kill the guys we meet on the way back, and if we can’t meet, we’ll just leave work.”

“Yes, I understand…”

“I see.”

Han Man-woo, who heard the answers from Yeon-hee and Udal-ri, gave Woon-cheol, who kept peeking at the two beauties, a deadly gaze.

“Keuheum- Hmm- That… After dinner, maybe something like-“

“I’m going home right away.”

“Me too.”

A man named Woon-cheol lowered his head in disappointment at the answer of the two beauties who cut like a knife.

‘Actually, it was a pleasure to have a drink after finishing, me too.’

I have good memories of having a drink after a heart-pounding adventure with new people, and the conversation never stops, making it a fun drinking party no matter what we talk about.

Perhaps the man Woon-cheol didn’t even suggest something to do with Yeon-hee.

“Let’s just go by ourselves. I think we can crave beef today.”

“Shouldn’t you be getting new equipment?”

“Oh, I don’t know. I’ve been hit with fire monkey poop so much that I feel like my body smells like sh*t. Shouldn’t I refresh my mood?”

I understand. How you feel The desire to go home after cleaning a dirty body.

While talking about the tankers’ dinner, Yudal-ri quietly spoke to Yeon-hee.

“Hey, Ms. Yeonhee. Don’t just go out and go. Give me your phone number and go.”

“Yes? Ah… Yes. But why?”

“It’s just that we seem to get along well, so next time I form a team, I’ll contact you. I know that you’re a member of a guild, but I know that you’re a member of a guild, but even if you’re a member, weekend activities don’t matter.”

‘He speaks well. I didn’t know because I didn’t say anything.’

Yudali seemed to like Yeonhee. And Yeon-hee scratched her face for a while at her suggestion, then replied that she would know soon.

“No, are you in a guild? Where are you?”

Han Man-wu asked, startled, and when Yeon-hee cautiously said that it was the White Knights Guild, Han Man-wu lowered his head and shook his head.

“As expected, you guys were in a different class from us. You guys, dude, don’t bother Yeon-hee anymore, okay?”

“Yes…”

When Yeon-hee, feeling sorry for the sullen hunters, was restless, wizard Yudali took out her sandwich from her inventory and put it in her mouth.

Everybody took out their packed lunches and ate, and I read and re-read the description of my job change while being wary of my surroundings.

And just as people were finishing their meal, the guys who were suddenly caught in the net of the senses came in.

‘They’re running fast. If you look at the stride, it looks like goblins… Are you being chased by monkeys?’

It was difficult. The mana of other hunters, including Yudalli, must not have been fully charged yet.

Now that the range of my senses has expanded by more than 30m, and they have reached the end of it, and they are running away from the street, so if I just stay still, others may not know.

Sniff sniff-

No, Suran, who has a good sense of smell, twitched his nose as if he smelled something strange while eating, but seemed to ignore it.

‘It’s a waste.’

But I didn’t move at all and sent them off.

’90 Fire monkeys and 30 goblins… It’s not like the goblins team up with us. I can’t deal with more than 100 monsters.’

“Shall we go soon?”

After a while, Han Man-wu got up, and we formed a formation and moved toward the exit again.

To avoid being harassed by the fire monkeys, we had to avoid wooded areas as much as possible, so the way back was not straight.

However, judging from the fact that I was on the right path so as not to deviate too much from my senses, it seemed that Suran, who was guiding me in the direction of the lieutenant, was doing her job well.

It took an hour to move while catching a few big bores and goblins in such a small way.

We arrived at a large clearing, and seeing the devastation that had taken place there, Yudali ran backwards gagging.

‘Looks like you’ve been swept away. There are over 80 fire monkeys.’

Judging by the ability to read traces after being a guide for many years, it seems that it was not this large-scale from the beginning.

‘Looks like you joined in the fight. It’s not common, but it happens often.’

There were 7 corpses of poor hunters who were burned to death after being hit by a barrage of flames from more than 70 fire monkeys that suddenly appeared while fighting 30 enemies.

Looking at them with only bones left after their flesh was torn here and there, the hunters approached them accustomedly and divided their remains into their inventories one by one.

‘These are the ones I saw earlier. It’s a headache for those who get activated after tasting blood like that once. The probability of variants also increases.’

I praised myself for the judgment I hadn’t touched, raised my guard and headed for the exit as if I was running.

Fortunately, we were able to reach the exit safely. There was a group of monkeys in the middle of the scale that could try to fight, but the atmosphere was going back to normal, so they ran straight to the exit.

“Is there anything special?”

I briefly explained about the hunters who died in caves and vacant lots to the official of the Hunter Management Agency, who approached me and asked questions.

He tutted and clicked his tongue, then let out a sigh and waved his hand, telling him to get out.

‘A person has died, so I have to react that way.’

I wanted to hit him, but there was nothing I could do, so I just watched him.

After coming out through the gate, we exchanged thanks as we exchanged words of blessing towards each other.

Since we saw that kind of situation before coming out, it seemed that we were really grateful to each other. Anyway, we did well and survived.

‘I couldn’t look around the hidden space because of the atmosphere.’
