Mysteries: Arcana Wars

"Kerich Andu." The person on the other side introduced himself in a very familiar manner, "Meeting is a gift from fate, let's get to know each other and make friends."

The adventurer glanced at him and made no reply.

Klein was surprised to meet Speedy Feather's colleague again in a place like this, but what he didn't expect was that this person would be Kerrich.

The Kailichi in front of him was still the same as Klein remembered, with a standard Loen appearance and semi-long black hair, but this black-eyed colleague was wearing the usual gray and messy clothes of the dungeon, and the marks of life in the dungeon could be vaguely seen in his every move.

Compared to before Klein left, Kerridge was less frail than a high-pressure programmer who sat for long periods of time, and instead had more of the health and strength that is unique to manual laborers.

Kelrich quit his position at Backlund on the surface and came to the underground city, Hazel Street, to do manual labor.

This inference also surprised Klein, and he even found it a little unbelievable.

Based on his understanding of Kerridge, he really couldn't think of any reason why Kerridge would resign.

Speedy Feather is a small but sophisticated Internet company, whose main business is program development. Although there are not many employees in the company, each of them is a very capable expert in their own programming. Klein's former boss Aiden Norman F. Pierce is one of the founders of Speedy Feather. Colleagues have rumored that Boss Aiden was a talent that even Tesla Group was vying for. He won various awards in college alone. However, for various reasons, Boss Aiden finally rejected all invitations from chaebols and groups, and founded Speedy Feather with a few friends, and has been operating it ever since.

Not only did the founders have excellent abilities, but during the days when Klein worked at Speed ​​Feather, his colleagues gave him new surprises almost every day. It seemed that everyone had extraordinary understanding in a certain direction. This made Klein a little uneasy at the time. As a newcomer with the least experience, even though he had worked at Speed ​​Feather for several years, he still felt that it was difficult for him to catch up with his colleagues. At that time, Klein even forgot that he was also an outstanding graduate who stood out from many interviewees and became the only selected candidate. He himself was also a potential stock with excellent grades.

During that time, programmer Klein often thought that if he had chosen to pursue a master's degree instead of going to work right after graduating from college, he would have narrowed the gap between himself and his colleagues more quickly. Unfortunately, there is no "if" in life. According to Klein's financial situation at the time, working directly was the best choice. Between the well-paid Jisu Feather and borrowing money to study for a master's degree, Klein chose the former.

In this environment, Kerrich Andu, who has worked in Speed ​​Feather for more than ten years, is undoubtedly a highly skilled and well-paid programmer with a stable job, a rich life and full social respect. He is definitely not the kind of person who would come down to gamble his life after having nowhere else to go in the society on earth.

In other words, according to Klein's understanding, even if he entered the lawless dungeon, Kerridge shouldn't just do this kind of labor-intensive work. Kerridge was in charge of the network security technology section in Speed ​​Feather. In other words, he was a legal white hat hacker. If he wanted to gain some benefits in the dungeon, being a complete hacker would definitely be much more convenient than being a manual worker.

Kelrich was still as enthusiastic and cheerful as he remembered. Despite the low pressure from the crazy adventurer, he still smiled heartily. He even ordered some midnight snacks and wine and ate them opposite the adventurer. From time to time, he broke off some synthetic meat and threw it on the ground to feed the dog.

After two or three cups of wine, Kerridge even wanted to strike up a conversation with this stranger he had just met.

"Hey, man, where have you been?" Kelridge raised his glass and gestured up and down at the adventurer. "You look so dressed that you're obviously not from Hazel Street."

"You're from the ground." The adventurer ate the food on his plate leisurely, not even looking at the other man. "You're not from Hazel Street either."

Kerridge, whose true identity was exposed, was stunned for a moment.

"I thought I had become a full-fledged Dungeoner!"

Kerrich didn't seem to care about his past. On the contrary, he generously admitted the fact that he had just come to the dungeon this year and was willing to talk about various things about himself.

"But even though I'm from the ground, I'm definitely from Hazel Street now."

"Why?" The adventurer looked up at Kerridge, "For money?"

"Do not."

Kerridge suddenly calmed down a little. He put down his wine glass, sat up straighter, and his cheerful smile revealed an unshakable firmness.

"Because I want to go to the Western Continent."

The Adventurer's fork stopped.

"On a whim? It's a bold travel plan." He finally put down his cutlery, looked up at the other party, and showed interest in Kelridge's answer. "It's not easy to get a ticket to the Western Continent."

"It was more of a long-planned plan than a spur-of-the-moment one. Just when I thought I would be hesitating about this vague plan for the rest of my life, a colleague of mine gave me a push."

Kerridge squinted his eyes and recalled.

"That was the youngest employee in our company. One or two months ago, he suddenly submitted a strange resignation letter to his boss and then left the company at lightning speed.

“He said, ‘The world is big and I want to see it,’ and then he disappeared from the work group the next day.

"At that time, I felt like I was shot in the head. Suddenly, everything became clear. If such a child could make such a choice, why should I be so fussy?

"So I followed that guy's example and handed in my resignation letter to my boss:

"'I won the lottery and made enough money. I want to go to the Western Continent.'

"Of course winning the lottery is fake, hahaha, but wanting to visit the Western Continent is real."

As he spoke, Kerrich broke off some synthetic meat and stuffed it into Sota's mouth.

"Indeed, it's very troublesome to buy air tickets and boat tickets to the Western Continent, but I still want to give it a try."

"reason?"

"The reason? If you really want to know, it's not impossible."

Kerridge smiled helplessly.

"Actually, my name is not Kailichi Andu. It's just that the people of Loen found it difficult to pronounce, so they transcribed it according to the Loen language. They can only pronounce the sound of 'Andu', but they can't pronounce the correct pronunciation of the original language."

As he spoke, Kerridge put down the food and slowly and clearly pronounced a name with a strong exotic flavor.

"Ando Kairich, this is the correct way to pronounce my name."

He smiled and lifted his long hair, revealing a special ear.

It was a triangular ear with a small pointed corner.

Klein suddenly understood why he kept his hair long to cover his ears.

"As you can see, my great-great-great-grandfather came from the Western Continent."
