EP.64 Saving the Young Lamb (1)
A few days ago, the monster wave came to an end.
In the process, I was able to bring Azmo and Vetter back safely, without a single scratch.
No, was it correct to say safely from the start?
Behind the monster wave, Death Knight and Arch Lich followed.
Thats not all.
Before I knew it, even Celia appeared in front of them.
In practical terms, considering the appearance of S-rank and A-rank, there was essentially no crisis for me.
[Rescue Azmo and Vetter! The urgent mission is complete.]
[As a reward, you are given a transfer ticket to the dungeon Temptation of Illusion.]
Thanks to this, I was able to complete the urgent mission and, as a reward, move Azmos dungeon location.
Now that Ive moved it nearby, there shouldnt be any problems.
Azmos dungeon is now located near where I live.
I thought it was better to have it close to me than far away.
No matter what happens, I can handle it quickly at my level.
Actually, moving the dungeon near my house is not a good choice.
Because the dungeon continues to emit its unique energy.
This provides crucial information that exposes the location of the dungeon.
But the reason I moved the dungeon nearby was one.
Why was there an artifact there?
The moment I completed the urgent mission and was about to move Azmos dungeon.
[There is an artifact that conceals the energy of the dungeon Temptation and Illusion. Will you transfer together?]
I learned that there was an artifact in the dungeon.
And its an artifact that conceals the energy of the dungeon.
It was truly amazing.
No wonder I couldnt find it.
I could understand why I couldnt sense Azmos dungeon all this time.
The power of the artifact was so great that even I, the master of the dungeon, couldnt find it.
As long as this artifact exists, it would be difficult for anyone to find Azmos dungeon.
Following the alarm, I moved Azmos dungeon along with the artifact, just as it said.
Since there was already an artifact, I boldly moved the location of the dungeon near my house.
So two of my dungeons are like this?
The Nest of the Evil God is also in a concealed state.
This one was not an artifact but an ability obtained by purchasing a beginners package in the early stages.
Adding this to the dungeon managed by Azmo, the energy of both dungeons was concealed.
Truly remarkable.
Immediately, the artifact alone boasts a high price, but I bought something with a similar effect for a mere 1200 won.
In other words, its a tremendous cost-performance ratio.
If only the in-game purchases were unlimited
Actually, by now, money is not the issue.
The problem lies in the systems inherent limit.
If you try to make a big in-game purchase, they have set a limit on it.
It was disappointing because beyond that, making in-game purchases was impossible.
And it was the same even now.
[In the process of performing urgent missions, all causality has been temporarily released.]
[There are penalties.]
[Gem purchases are temporarily suspended.]
[Manager draw temporarily changes to a locked state.]
[Monster draw temporarily changes to a locked state.]
[Dungeon expansion system temporarily changes to a locked state.]
[Dungeon support & dispatch content temporarily changes to a locked state.]
Most elements are currently locked, possibly because most of the energy went into performing the urgent mission.
There was nothing I could do other than stare at the screen.
When touching the screen meaninglessly.
Come to think of it, the miscellaneous draw isnt locked?
I could see that the miscellaneous draw in the shop window was not locked.
Miscellaneous draw.
Unlike the monster draw, it involves drawing items.
The problem is that the ratio of useless items is extremely high.
If youre lucky, you might draw high-grade items like the ones Celia is wearing, but if youre unlucky, youll end up with truly meaningless things.
No, they cant even be called items.
[You drew a twig (F).]
[You drew a rotten twig (F-).]
[You drew a silk with a hole (F).]
[You drew rainwater containing sugar (F).]
[You drew a rotten, unidentified hind leg meat (E-).]
Useless things like these kept coming out.
And all of these were the items I had drawn just a moment ago.
Lets just throw all of these away.
I disposed of everything I had kept.
Fortunately, there was an option to dispose of them.
Even though the result is like this, practically everything except the miscellaneous draw is locked, so I had no choice.
Well, should I try drawing this at least a bit more?
I immediately touched the miscellaneous draw.
[You drew a stone (F-).]
It was a dud from the beginning.
[You drew a fragment of a unicorn horn (C).]
Huh?
The second draw was different from the items that had come out so far.
Of course, it was immediately useless and meaningless, but it was different somehow.
I should keep this one for now.
After storing the fragment of a unicorn horn, I continued with the draw.
[You drew a branch of a tree that wanted to become a world tree (E).]
?
[You drew a frightening bouquet made of carnivorous plants (D).]
Things with unclear meanings began to appear as well.
So, I drew several more duds.
[You drew a sturdy wizard robe (A).]
Oh!
After experiencing several duds, I finally got equipment.
And it was an A-grade robe.
[Sturdy Wizard Robe (A)]
Increases defense significantly when worn.
Reduces skill cooldown by 10%.
Increases mana recovery by 20%.
Its performance was quite decent.
With the defense option, it felt like it compensated for the weaknesses of a wizard to some extent.
Cant I wear this?
Suddenly, that thought crossed my mind.
While Celia was wearing a dress, I felt that I could wear the robe that just came out.
I touched it once to see if there was a related option.
This command is not available.
Tsk.
It was impossible.
No, really? Cant it be done at all?
I wondered, what if I made it an offering item and received it myself?
I touched it to try.
[This item cannot be offered as a sacrifice.]
It was completely impossible.
From the start, it was an item I couldnt use.
Its a pity, but I need to think about who to give this to.
Hmm.
I glanced at Maru.
Maru was in a meditation posture as if contemplating something since the end of the monster wave.
Even if I spoke, there was no response.
He was still sitting cross-legged in his place.
For a moment, I thought about giving the robe to Maru, but I shook my head immediately.
The robe is too flashy.
It was a robe with a very colourful design.
If Maru wore it, it would definitely attract attention.
And above all, in the media, they were still chasing after the hero who appeared in the monster wave.
The presence of that hero was none other than me and Maru.
[Who is the Hero Who Ended the Monster Wave?]
[Hunter Specialist Potential Hunter Cultivated by the Government?]
[Turns Out South Korea is a Country with S-rank Hunter Possession?]
Marus last action made a decisive impact.
With Marus sword, Death Knight flew, and in the situation where Arch Lich fell, who wouldnt be interested?
Of course, that situation was all staged, but for those who didnt know, it would have come as a fresh shock.
Facing two A-rank monsters in one strike.
Even if I couldnt use the robe and mask I wore at that time again, giving Maru this flashy robe?
It was absolutely impossible.
In the end, I returned to square one.
Who should I give this robe to?
And at that moment, a presence came to mind.
Huh?
Arch Lich?
Come to think of it, Arch Lich was an undead monster and a wizard.
Moreover, it was given the role of an inspector.
Now that I think about it, during the monster wave, Arch Lich was diligently recording something.
It might be good to give a gift to someone who works hard.
Arch Lich, working diligently as an inspector.
Thinking about it, if he kept recording diligently, someday, an unprotected situation might be staged.
This directly led to a dangerous problem.
In such a situation, a robe with a defense option would be a great help.
Having finished my thought, I immediately touched the wizard robe.
[Present the Sturdy Wizard Robe (A) as a gift to Inspector Arch Lich.]
As soon as I gifted the robe to Arch Lich, reactions appeared promptly.
[Arch Lich expresses deep gratitude for the master gift.]
[Arch Lich is recording the master praise.]
[Arch Lich is worried that the record of the master praise might be lost.]
[Arch Lich takes out a second notebook.]
[In the second notebook, Arch Lich records the master praise.]
[In the third notebook, Arch Lich records the master praise.]
[This will remain as an indelible record for future generations.]
?
What did I just witness?
Moreover, how many notebooks is this guy carrying around?
Well, he seems to like it, so Im feeling good.
If he responds like this, it makes giving gifts enjoyable.
Now that Ive gifted Arch Lich, there wasnt much else to do.
Outside, the aftermath of the monster wave created a chaotic situation.
It wasnt a good choice to be active right now.
How about taking a tour of the dungeon after a long time? Since most of it was locked anyway, there wasnt much I could do.
Still, I just looked at the screen as if I wanted to explore the dungeon.
I wonder if theres anything to sacrifice separately.
Lately, there were no intruders coming to the dungeon.
As a result, offerings that Celia made were also discontinued.
It would be nice if some wizard guys came.
Suddenly, the thought crossed my mind that it would be good if intruders appeared in the dungeon, especially wizards who could become stronger.
With that thought, I touched each section of the dungeon.

Inspecting while receiving greetings from the skeletons, Arch Lich was diligently recording something.
[The great, superior, and magnificent master bestowed a robe. This is an extraordinary gift that I will cherish for a lifetime.]
His records didnt stop.
If anything, as soon as he finished recording, a skeleton soldier standing nearby brought a new notebook.
Nodding his head, Arch Lich began recording in the new notebook.
His loyalty and praise for the master.
It was a glorious record that would be passed down for a lifetime.
And recording that was the duty of an inspector.
There was someone watching such a scene from the side.
It was the Skeleton Knight, the master of the Remnants of the Abyss dungeon.
He was currently relieved.
He could be relieved because the inspector from the higher dungeon fortunately didnt bother him.
For now, the inspector was Arch Lich.
He was a superior being who could blow himself away with a single gesture.
He could not only blow himself away from the position of the dungeon manager but also genuinely obliterate himself.
Moreover, since the dungeon was full of bones, there was nothing special to treat the inspector with.
He carefully and cautiously avoided disturbing Arch Lichs mood.
While doing so, a skeleton soldier was seen running from a distance.
Tak! Tak tak!
As soon as the skeleton soldier approached, he hurriedly began reporting something.
The content was simple.
(Adventurers are coming this way!)
!
Upon hearing the report, the Skeleton Knight turned his head.
Arch Lich also stopped recording and turned his head.
The gazes of Arch Lich and the Skeleton Knight met.
Nod.
Both nodded their heads simultaneously.
The Skeleton Knight seized the opportunity to showcase his presence, facing adventurers.
Arch Lich had the chance to objectively record the current dungeon.
Both of them rose from their seats simultaneously.

The group of adventurers who climbed the mountain range split into two teams.
In fact, as they were forming different adventurer parties, dividing was not difficult.
After dividing the teams, one decided to follow the mysterious footprints.
The remaining team chose to head in the opposite direction of the footprints.
Thus, the two teams ventured on different paths.
However, a problem arose at this point.
The team facing the opposite direction of the footprints encountered an issue.
Damn, if I knew this would happen, I would have just followed that way.
A man expressed his dissatisfaction, swearing as they headed in the direction of the footprints.
The group that headed in the opposite direction of them was the group that was tracking the footprints.
Even after entering the mountains, they had no results for a while.
Naturally, their priority had to be tracking the discovered footprints.
Therefore, the group that was tracking the footprints was joined by skilled people.
It was only natural that their numbers were also greater.
On the other hand, most of them were adventurers with ambiguous skills.
Their numbers were also smaller
At first, it was good because the mountain range itself was quiet with no peculiarities.
But that was only for a moment, now it was too boring.
Continuing through the forest, they only encountered similar-looking trees.
Occasionally, they encountered animals, but there was no sign of monsters.
It was just boring.
Their bodies itched.
Yes, thats how they felt.
For a mountain range, it was excessively peaceful.
As if someone had intended it.
But they didnt think much about it.
Their minds were filled with completing the request and receiving the reward.
So, feeling bored and advancing through the forest.
They saw someone leaning against a tree.
Resting under the tree, the person was wearing flashy, sparkling armor.
There was some kind of black sword beside them.
Even from a distance, they could feel a holy power.
A Holy Knight?
One of the adventurers opened their mouth.
As the adventurer was an enthusiastic follower of the White Order, they immediately eased their guard.
Holy Knight!
Not only did they ease their guard, but they also ran towards the Holy Knight.
Some members tried to stop the adventurer, but they wouldnt listen.
The Holy Knight, resting under the tree, also noticed the group of adventurers and smiled.
Oh dear, have you lost your way?
The Holy Knight stood up and began introducing themselves politely.
I am Holy Knight Eric. I am tasked with guiding lost lambs to the side of the goddess.
The courteous appearance of the Holy Knight gradually eased the remaining members vigilance.
But what they didnt see was the cloudy and dim eyes of the bowed Holy Knight.
If youre okay with it, may I guide all of you to the presence of the great one?
