Chapter 11 Conquest of Dungeon II

We left from the inn to the city gate. Since we're still at E rank, I don't think we'll probably get too much of a share in this mission. Maybe we just get the task to keep the items of adventurers who have a higher rank.

When we got there, there were already a lot of people gathered. Those who are still ranked E like us are required to use a blue bracelet. It turned out that quite a lot of adventurers were also E-ranked.

“Master, many are also the same as us.”

“Indeed a lot, but is it true we can complete this mission.”

I still don't know the number of B-ranked adventurers who took part in this conquest mission. I feel like something bad is going to happen on this mission. I hope this feeling is wrong.

“Alright all E-rated adventurers please gather here!”

We were asked to be gathered by a fairly large man. Maybe he will lead the mission this time. If I look at the gear he's wearing, he's probably rated B.  

“Include my name Rick. I will lead this dungeon conquest mission. My rating is B and I have class berserker.”

It turned out to be my guess that he was ranked B. His class was a berserker, meaning he would fight on the front lines. I knew the berserker had immense physical attack power and was expert at using large melee weapons. His physical strength is beyond doubt.

“Since you have never entered a dungeon, you will be in the back position to bring our gear. Do you guys understand?”

“Understanding!”

“What is the question?”

One female adventurer asked, “How about our exam?”

“Just relax when this mission is completed you will be considered to have passed. If there are no more questions, we will leave.”

We headed to the dungeon. This time the dungeon was a cave with a forest inside. This is a good lesson for me and Emilia so that in the future we can face the forest dungeon.

Once there we were divided into groups. Emilia and I are different groups. Emilia went inside the carrier for the mage or the witch, while I was for the priest or the priest. This priest is an expert in using supporting and healing skills, as well as light attack skills.

“Master, we are different group.”

“Yes, are you okay?”

“I'm fine. If master needs me, just call.”

“I'm fine too. You too if you need me just call.”

“Good master.”

Emilia then went to her group. I hope Emilia can be friends with the others. I also need to get to my group.

At the place where my group had gathered there were already many people who brought the goods and equipment of the priests, it seemed like I had no part. Suddenly someone touched me from behind. I turned my body.

“Sorry, have you not got the task of carrying the goods?”

“But.”

“Can you bring me my stuff?”

“Sure.”

“Thank you.”

She is an elf woman. He had a long stick in his hand. This is the first time I've spoken to an elf. As far as I know the skill of the elves has great magic power.

I brought her her things. Inside the dungeon we encountered monsters I had never seen, like hornets shaped like bees and treants. Treant is a tree-shaped monster.

The hornet has a quick attack and also poison to paralyze its opponent. While the treant has a very large attack power. We also fought slime.

The attacking team can handle it well. The combination of attacks of the close combat class supported by mage and archer attacks makes this fight easy. From the beginning, I only brought stuff.

After a while we got to a place with a pool in the middle. Rick as the chairman ordered to rest in this place. We set up a tent to sleep. I can't believe this dungeon is bigger than the dungeon we entered before.

After setting up the tent, I plan on finding Emilia. But…

“Anu..”.

“Iya what's wrong?”

The elf that I brought with me suddenly came to me.

“I don't know your name yet.”.

“Oo. My name is Ciel.”

“Ciel. Introduce my name Laura.”

“It's nice to meet you Laura.”

“I too. Thank you for bringing my stuff and also setting up the tent.”

“Sama-sama. Then I go first to find my friend.”

“Iya, see you later.”

I then went to find Emilia. Her name is Laura. I forgot to ask her rank but it could still be later.

I'm looking for Emilia among the mages.

“Master!”

Emilia ran towards me. I saw him running from the crowd of mage men.

“Master, do you need anything?”

“No. Looks like you are famous yes..”

“Not so. They invited me to join them.”

“Then?”

“Of course I refused it. I will be with the master always.”

I looked at those people, like they didn't like me. I don't really care about it. Then I took Emilia somewhere.

“Master will sleep where?”

“I'll sleep near that pool. I found something there.”

“Alright, I will also sleep there.”

We walked to where I meant. When I got there, I showed him what I found. It was a stone with inscription.

“When did the master find it?”

“Tadi, while looking for a place to set up a tent for someone.”

“Isn't this like a relic for the previous skill master.”

“True, then from that I will try it.”

“May you succeed master.”

Glyph Caleo has been acquired.

I got a new Glyph. I tried to check its use.     

Glyph Caleo is a support glyph for making a foothold in the air.

So this Glyph is for walking in the air. Besides I know for the relics I need are relics that have strange writing like this. Actually I want to try it but there are too many people in this place. So I broke my intention.

Me and Emilia then took the food out of our bags. After that we ate and then went to sleep. As usual, we took turns to take care of it. I'm the first to take care.

I felt something or someone was approaching us. I saw the bushes near me moving. Suddenly…

“Ciel, are you there?”

It was Laura. I thought it was one of the guys who was after Emilia.

“What's Laura?”

“I've been looking for you everywhere. Turns out you're here with your friend.”

“Iya. Why don't you sleep with the others?”

“I don't like it very much there. Noisy once.”

“Do you eat?”

Laura looked at Emilia who was fast asleep.

“Already. Your friend is asleep?”

“Iya. We take turns guard.”

“You don't sleep in the tent?”

“No. We do not bring tents.”

“So it's like that. To be honest this is the first time I've talked for a long time with someone.”

“Indeed before?”

Laura shook her head slowly.

“I'm afraid.”

“But why are you talking to me now?”

“When I saw you coming to bring me stuff, you were alone. So I ventured.”

It looks like he's an introvert or he's traumatized by something.

“Why don't you ask someone else?”

“Too crowded. I don't like.”

“You're exactly Emilia. He also does not like crowds as well.”

“So this girl named Emilia.”

“Then can you know what stage?”

“I rating B.”

“So you with the same Rick?”

“Iya.”

If she was a priest she should have a party to reach B rank. But I didn't see a single person with him.

“Do you have a party?”

“I used to have, but they're gone. They died on our last mission. That's why I'm afraid to be with others.”

He tells how his party was destroyed when attacked by a dragon in the dungeon. Laura managed to survive because she was thrown when the dragon attacked. Then he found another party that came to the dungeon.

Since then he has always moved parties until he arrived in this city. He followed this mission because he needed money.

“Sorry to make you remember that.”

“It's okay. Thank you for listening to my story.”

“Sama-sama. Where are you from?”

“I'm from Ellis.”

“Ellis? Coincidentally we will also go there if we have reached the D.” rating

“Why?”

“That I can't tell. Bottom line to survive.”

I saw his eyes were getting sleepy. But he tried to hold it. Maybe all this time he wanted to pour out his heart, but did not know to whom.

“Laura, if you are already sleepy you can sleep here."

“But..”.

“It's okay.”

Then Laura slept at our place. When it was Emilia's turn to stand guard I told her why Laura was sleeping in our place.

“Surely he is lonely master.”

“Iya. So it's okay, right?”

“Of course.”

Then I sleep gentian and Emilia take care.
