10 – Dungeons (2)
There are two types of monsters in the first layer. A stone golem and a plant monster called Tali.
The stone golem, as its name suggests… is simple.
However, if you ask if this is a threat, it is not so far.
Because of its small size and sluggish movements, it is said to be a relatively easy prey.
The loot they usually drop is a flint or whetstone. It is sometimes said that low-level magic crystals come out, but they are said to be suitable for beginner adventurers because they are the most expensive on the 1st floor.
And he is in front of me.
“Grumble.”
I looked at it, like a heavy stone door opening, something heavy and making an annoying scratching sound.
A single large boulder was emitting an ominous purple light from the center, and several clusters of stones were awkwardly attached to places where human arms and legs would be, making it look like a crude stone puppet.
Upon noticing my presence, he slowly, waddlingly turned and faced me.
From now on, you have to beat that guy to break it.
“Ah, here it is.”
Stepping out lightly, she trudged, trudged, and then she took out the battle hammer that was strapped to her back with one hand, and then took it straight down.
“go – “
Without even hearing the agony, the moving stone mass I had been gazing at had turned to powder.
“to?”
After a while, a small piece of stone appeared from the slightly hollowed-out floor.
“Oh, it’s a whetstone. I won’t sell this, I’ll keep it.”
Placing it casually in her pocket, she grabbed the handle of the hammer and stood up and headed forward.
“Hey, hold on…”
“yes?”
“I’m sure you didn’t say you were going to explain this and that for my first expedition, right?”
“ah?”
A brief silence passed between them.
Had I misunderstood something? Can I just watch her demonstration from behind today? By the time you think about it,
“ah!”
The silence was broken by the half-folded ears straightening straight.
“I’m sorry, my old habits came out… I used to explore dungeons a lot when I was young. Maybe it was because I remembered that time, I got pretty excited.”
No, I was excited and fell asleep and the stone golem turned to dust.
Is it because of my mood that the scattered fragments seem to flinch?
“Hmm… The next one seems to be not far from here. Marcus-san should try it himself then!”
Ahahahaha, she showed a firm smile and stood in front of me with a hammer attached to the back of the road.
“Then shall we go?”
She was much stronger than I thought.
***
I turned right around the alley and walked a little, and I was able to meet another stone golem. This time he was staring blankly at the wall, but when he spotted me and her, he waddled towards us.
“…then.”
Her big, beautiful battle hammer appears as she slithers through her hair.
Again, I wasn’t even using my arm for fear that she would handle it, but she just held the hammer and stood aside.
“Oh, I…”
“Yes. Didn’t you say you did? Above all… I’ll have to get used to this feeling from now on.”
“Oh… in the senses?”
The stone golem, which had come close before I knew it, was slowly trying to spin its arm, but she knocked it down with the tip of the hammer.
“When I was young, I was quite sensitive. When I saw this stone golem, I called it cute, and when I saw Tally, I called it pretty, but I couldn’t catch it properly. But the reason I ended up in the dungeon was to earn money and have a warm dinner with my family… If I don’t do it, someone will get hurt or starve on the spot, so I have no choice but to do it.”
She approached the fallen stone golem and, placing the hammer on it, began to press it gently with one foot.
“I can continue to fight for Marcus, but what if one day something unexpected happens to me?
It was struggling with the sound of stones scratching. However, as expected, the strength was overwhelmingly different, and there was no sign of his body being lifted at all.
“So, if you truly want to explore dungeons as a job, you have to be prepared for it. It’s not easy.
Kicking the guy towards me with her foot, she spun backwards and hit something hard with her hammer.
It took only an instant for the pile of stones to hit the wall with a pop and disappear along with the dust.
“Like this. Even those who look weak can lose their minds in an instant if they lose their minds.”
Was it because of my mood that the red light in my red eyes seemed to flash for a moment?
Slowly, the stone golem spread out in front of me slowly stood up.
The purple light that shimmered in the body of the stone soon became stronger, and the body of the body started to move quite quickly, unlike before.
“Now then, try fighting!”
I faced the guy who was approaching me while rattling.
as she said
I grabbed the warpic in my hand and powerfully slashed it from top to bottom towards the approaching guy with the sharp part.
scold –
The sound of hard objects hitting each other reverberated through the corridor.
***
“It’s not that difficult, is it?”
As she removed the shards of the shattered stone golem, she took out a sparkling purple jewel with a wide open face.
“Hey, beginner’s luck? Look at this.”
“Magic Stone…”
“I think you’re lucky. This alone is five silver coins?”
As if she was very excited, she snorted and pricked up her ears. Soon, she put a small shining magic crystal in my hand.
“Here. Keep it! We’ll have to sell it later.”
I took it, put it in my pocket, squeezed my hand once, opened it, squeezed it, opened it…
To be honest, I was very nervous.
“You keep trying to swing your arms at me even when your body is being crushed…”
The sight was terrifying. It’s like waving your arms while the purple eyes are constantly flickering.
I had a strange feeling about whether or not it was writhing in pain, even though I was determined to cut him to pieces somehow and quickly.
“Yes, well, it’s a characteristic of golems.”
Tak, tak, she waved her hand and stood in front of me, shaking my shoulder.
“They’re in charge of getting rid of intruders like us. The first floor is… uhm… You can think of it roughly as the outskirts of a castle. It’s like spies scattered around.”
Patter, and stone dust fell to the ground.
“It carries out orders no matter what. This is the basic operating principle of a golem, so it is natural for it to struggle.”
“Do you feel the pain…”
“Well. The guys I’ll be dealing with in the future will feel it, but I don’t know if at least these inanimate-looking guys have senses.”
With a thump, she brushed off a small stone one last time, and after stroking her long ear, she turned her head to the other passageway.
“Shall we catch a few more? To get used to the senses.”
***
“I received one low-grade magic stone, two whetstones, and four flint stones. Five silver coins and 80 copper coins.”
I came out of the dungeon and sold my items at a nearby shop.
It was a really not bad profit. Even three silver coins is enough to support her family, and she earned it in one day.
“It wasn’t that difficult, was it?”
She smiles lightly and walks beside me.
Perhaps it was because of the sunset light, her hair looked like an autumn wheat field.
When the wind blows, the fields of glistening golden wheat sway slowly to and fro.
“…not bad.”
In the end, the unpleasant sensation I heard for a moment seemed to be only a temporary rejection.
After that, he coolly split their arms and legs with the blunt part of the warpic and beat their torso excitedly.
Of course, it was hard, but the fact that the money I received from it was quite good might have made me feel better.
“Then I’d like to have dinner. Is there a good restaurant?”
“Would you like to go to the restaurant I used to go to?”
Her ears perked up and she battled softly… The sight of her holding a hammer probably made her feel good.
It’s clear what you’re expecting.
“Then, let’s put down our luggage first, change our clothes, and then go. It would be inconvenient to go… dressed like this, right?”
“Yes, let’s do that!”
I also smiled at her naturally smiling face.
On a rainy day, it was really nice to see her smiling naturally without crying and trembling in fear for a long time.
I was a little worried about how quickly she gave me trust, but it might be because she trusts me because I treat her so well.
Don’t overcomplicate it, and try to be nice to her.
Maybe that’s the best I can do for now.
