Chap 12's
...~•~...
If not now, Rous did not know when he could join the Guardian of the Forest raid Party in the future.
"Please let me join the party."
He would join the party, survive until the Guardian of the Forest died, and take out all the blue orichalcum that was dropped. It doesn't matter if the other party members die.
'By the way, my Exp can't go down if I die!'
If he was truly unlucky, then he would probably drop the Great Mammon Sword or the Mengel Plate Armor, which was his entire fortune. Still, if he took the risk, he might be able to obtain the blue orichalcum. He revealed his strong emotions as he stared at Toban.
Is Rous too impudent? Does he have any shame? Rous looked up to see Toban looking at him with a puzzled expression.
"What level are you at?"
"What's? Didn't you say that levels and classes don't matter?”
“I did say that at first, but..unexpected party members arrived, so I am now looking for those whose level is over 120, so, preferably those who have the profession of divine magic or magician. As you know, the Forest Guards are monsters whose bodies are made of minerals, so physical attacks will not work.”
Toban stared at the great sword Rous with an unconvinced look — a gaze that strongly indicated that he did not want to accept Rous into the party.
'Then this fellow should not say that he will receive any level or class, ' Rous grumbled inwardly.
Should Rous give up? No, he could not give up when he thought of the blue orichalcum. He would join the party no matter what.
"Please accept me. I won't burden you.”
"What level are you at?"
Rous was currently level-3, but due to the Mammon Great Sword and the Mengel Plate Armor, his actual combat ability was above level 30. If he confessed that he was level 30. he would be instantly expelled.
"30. no, minus.. no, plus 100."
“30 minus, plus 100?”
“Not~ no. Only 100.”
Rous is currently level-3, but he would be close to level 100 if not for Ashur's quest. So he decided to try it once. When he actually entered the party, he had no intention of fighting. Instead, he would follow like he was a dead mouse.
'If I'm careful, they won't realize that I cheated them about my level.'
Toban had a worried expression on his face. “Your weapon is a big sword? Isn't that around level 65? Even if your item has epic ratings, claim to be level 100 ... Are you really level 100? ”
"of course. My Great Mammon Sword has been strengthened to +5, so I can still use it.” Rous's expression was calm
Obviously, he was just bluffing. He exploited the fact that the item upgraded under +5 would not have any change of appearance, so he lied that +0 Great Mammon Sword was actually +5.
However, Toban was not easily fooled. “Even if the Mammon Great Sword is +5, to keep using it at level 100 is... Moreover, your armour is not as good as the equipment a level 100 user can wear. Besides, where are your boots, gloves, and accessories?”
Toban's evaluation was accurate. The Mengel Plate Armor, which Rous was currently wearing, was only level 60. In addition, Rous's helmet, boots, gloves, and accessories were all lost at the end of the three-month search ...
Things like my blood...'
In the case of boots and gloves, they are destroyed because he does not regulate his durability. He had set the durability of his helmet and accessories, but it was a pity that he dropped them when he died.
As Rous recalls his horrific past, Toban looks at him suspiciously.
Rous said, “The only people who don't need armor and accessories are those who have excellent control over their weapons, like me. In fact, I take off this armor every time I hunt. I only armed myself with a big sword to hunt.”
Control was a word that did not apply to him, as he drank potions like he drank water every time he hunted. As he watched the hunters on TV, he saw them beautifully making use of the monster gap, shooting out powerful skills as they dodged the monster attacks. Meanwhile, he simply took a potshot at random and drank the potion whenever his health was low. That's the hunting method.
Nevertheless, right now, Rous needed to bluff to enter the raid party. Therefore, he cited the statement he heard about the controls. However, it was a big mistake as Toban's body was armed full of heavy armor and shield.
“Hoh... So the person wearing the armor is unskilled?” Toban smiled, but his eyes were cold. He's very angry.
The problem was that the other party members around were also filled with righteous anger.
“You make it sound like wearing armor and accessories is a bad thing.”
"Listen to him. He never wears armor.”
“Those who wear armor and accessories are not genuine? If we don't want to be ignored, we have to take it off ... "
Rous tried to calm down the angry people who spoke cynically. "That's too much. I didn't mean bad. I'm just explaining why I'm less dependent on defense. ”
“By the way, that means I can't be armed! Your level is lower than mine! ”
A furry-looking middle-aged man interrupted with a shout. He was equipped with two shining axes, armor, and gorgeous ornaments, looking completely like a high-level user. This guy looks more angry than the others.
“Rous? This is the first time I've seen you. You, have you ever hunted in a hunting ground around here? I know how strong the monsters in this area are. You really have to be confident if you brag about hunting them without armor. ”
The other party members nodded.
“Based on his words, he must be a beginner in this area.”
"Have you ever seen someone named Rous?"
“I've never seen him at the nearest hunting ground. What about you?"
"To be honest, it sounds like nonsense ... I think he's actually lower than level 100."
The mood is getting worse.
'The smart ones ... How's now? Should I give up joining the Party group?’
As Rous was feeling confused ..a blond man with an open upper body appeared and intervened. "Everything stops."
The party members became excited by the man's appearance.
"The first place in the ranking of martial artists, Regas."
“The equipment item requirement is so heavy that raising the level is difficult, but he has already exceeded the level of 180.”
“His nickname is Master Taekwon, Master Taekwon. Is it true that the horde will melt when it hits its fists? ”
“Wah~! He really is coming! I did well to join this party! Martial artists ignored the defense to attack the weak point. Couldn't this technique inflict great damage on the Guardian Forest?”
Rous caught Regas' attention and approached him. “The great swords are very slow and have wide movement, so it is not easy to take evasive action during battle. Therefore, it is amazing that you hunt without wearing armor.”
Regas is handsome, slim, and has ideal muscles. Due to the nature of her class, she is popular with women because she does not wear any tops. In fact, when Rous took a closer look at Regas, he saw that Regas was actually very handsome. Rous felt like a squid standing next to him.
Because Rous instinctively hated handsome people, he replied bluntly, "That's no big deal."
“Hoh, it's not a big deal... My expectations of your skill increased. I'd like to see firsthand your amazing capabilities, ” said Regas.
Then he told the others, “This person will also join the Party. Originally, it was a party that had no class or level restrictions. Some party members are below level 90, so I guess there is no problem in receiving one more level 100 user.”
"But..."
Other members still responded poorly, so Regas added, “As you know, only users of level 170 or higher can hit Guardian Forest properly. Nevertheless, the reason why I gathered as many people as possible without level limits was because people needed to mark the golems that the Forest Guards constantly called out to. The Forest Guard will be handled by my 17 guild members, including Toban and Vantner. We want people to tie the crystal golem legs while we focus on the Forest Guardians. I think Rous's skills are enough to our liking. ”
"......"
“He wants to join the party, so I don't know why we should refuse. I can understand you doubted his actions, but why did you doubt anyone before? "
The statements of a strong person have a good reputation. As soon as Regas spoke, the party members had an atmosphere like they would accept Rous into the Party, but they actually had impure intentions.
“Let's see how well it controls.”
"Observe him fight... Let's see if he's a braggart or not."
“She said she fought with her armor loose? Then he could not wear his armor on this attack. ”
"I'll watch him closely."
It was a party filled with intense hostility! This was not the Guardian of the Forest raid party but Rous raid party.
"I can't join this party."
If Rous were to join the party now, he would have to fight in front of them. As a level-3 player, he would definitely die quickly and not even see the Guardian Forest, let alone see the blue orichalcum. It will also come with extra embarrassment involved.
"It's okay. I will not join the Party, Rous said and backed out".
This caused the middle-aged man to laugh. "Are you just bluffing?"
It is an attitude that ignores people! Nonetheless, Rous was not angry that the man's words were true.
Rous replied coldly, "It's not a good idea to join a party with people who don't trust me."
Initially, party members should be able to trust each other with their backs. However, everyone here doubted it.
Knowing this, the party members were forced to accept his words.
"Well .. that's right."
"In hindsight, we were so excited that we dropped it."
"I agree. I didn't know if it was true, so I just kept quiet. ”
"That's right. Actually, aren't we the ones who made the mistake? I feel guilty now."
Rous did not see the party members anymore and left this place, but Regas followed after him.
"What's wrong?" Rous's attitude was cold.
However, Regas only asked for a handshake with a gentle smile. “I hope to see you again next time, Great Sword Warrior who doesn't wear armor. As a person who walks along the path of a martial artist, I am very interested in you ".
Rous had no doubt that Regas was interested in him. He didn't think it was a bluff as he looked into Regas' honest eyes.
He shook hands with Regas and thought, 'Why is he so naive?'
Regas is a good man. If Rous had the chance someday, he would make Regas a friend that he could borrow money from.
“Then I will see you again.”
...To take money from him later... No, Rous owes him. Therefore, Rous bid farewell to Regas with a wide smile and headed straight for the blacksmith's place.
