They probably had some boundaries too.

Because there is no information about how strong the newcomer is.

So, like this, a group of more than ten people must have swarmed around.

Thank you very much.

“Take it off.”

“… … ?”

“Before you bleed.”

The moment my words echoed through the alleyway, he made a face that seemed to be incomprehensible.

However, would the situation be understood soon enough?

“… … .”

Everyone, including him, kept their mouths shut.

This is common in the beast world.

When a prey runs away, I chase it because I am weaker than I am, but when it comes out strong, I instinctively feel that something is wrong.

to know by experience.

that it’s dangerous

Whoops.

The guys, who were slowly narrowing their steps, widened the distance behind them to warn of the surprise.

It didn’t mean much to me.

An alleyway blocked by a wall.

It’s cramped on the side too, so there’s not even enough space to use [Giant], but… … .

‘I rather like it.’

There’s nothing in the way of comfort.

‘jump.’

It crossed over their heads at once and landed on the other side.

Okay, this blocked the way out.

“… … Kill this guy!”

They panicked and ran towards me.

The escape route was suddenly blocked, so it seems that they decided to drill through this first… … .

Whoo-!

Babies, dodge well.

“Do not block, avoid!”

“Isn’t there anyone who’s good at being slow like this?”

The three people standing in front of me came swinging their own weapons, avoiding my mace like loachs.

Most of the attacks were resisted with physical resistance, but some attacks with skills succeeded in piercing through the thick leather.

pooh.

Hey, it’s hot.

If I had turned on [Giant], not a single drop of blood would have bled.

Well, the only way to protect me is to say that ‘defense’ isn’t the only way.

‘transcendence.’

Lift the mace upward and enter the command in your head.

The target to be designated as [Transcendence] is, of course, determined.

‘Swipe.’

This combo is effective when dealing with a lot of enemies thanks to the addition of the ‘3x damage range’ attribute.

Whoops-!

As soon as the mace is lowered to the floor, the mace grows as long as a female baton and increases in size.

It was a much smaller range than when it was linked with [Giantization]… … .

“Um, crazy… … !”

“Harm!”

where to avoid?

In this narrow alleyway.

Awwwwwwww-!

They hurried back, but the three in front couldn’t get out of range.

oh, that’s cool

Tub.

As soon as they moved forward over the trio that had turned into minced meat, they backed away.

They go in looking for them like a ghost who lives very well.

“Woman! Get the girl!”

Perhaps they were going to play hostage, they rushed to Amelia, stretched out their hands, and swung their weapons.

Of course, there was no chin to touch.

Puck, puck, coo-ooh!

Amelia, who quickly subdued the two with a fist and a kick, pulled the dagger from her thigh and swung it towards the neck of the other.

Although the opponent defended by raising his wrist with a steel guard… … .

Sigh-!

Would that work for a woman who can use Auror?

tuk. fight.

The neatly severed wrist and hair fell to the floor at about the same time and rolled.

and… … .

“Oh, come… … .”

This was the end of the battle.

The moment Amelia uses the auror, she just put her weapons down. Realizing that he was an opponent he could not handle, he decided to risk his life for mercy.

Yeah, I guess it’s too late.

“Sir, please save me. I’ll give you everything I have… … .”

“What are you going to do?”

“Of course he kills.”

Amelia answered my question without any hesitation. The men who had fallen flat on their faces quickly picked up their weapons and fought back… … .

“die!”

no, would that be it?

It seems like everyone is only averaging about 6th grade.

Puruk, Kwajik.

Scratch!

Me and Amelia quickly cleared out the living, like the long-running looter duo party.

It took about 5 minutes in total.

‘It is reliable because the number of dealers is high.’

A sense of reassurance that any team has never felt before.

How can he not be added to the team later?

While thinking like that, he quickly moved his hands to continue farming the corpse.

It was in the meantime.

“Ugh… … .”

As I was taking off the lithium breastplate that I had been eyeing on since the beginning, it flinched and trembled.

What, were you fainting?

Puff-!

After slapped him in the back of the head, he asked Amelia.

“But why did this guy just pass out?”

“… … A while ago, didn’t you say you don’t like blood stains?”

ah… … .

“Oh, thank you?”

“… … .”

“Hmm.”

There were some awkward situations for a while, but after a few more minutes, the farming was roughly over.

For some reason, farming takes longer than combat.

Still, the return on labor was higher than ever.

‘If you sell it on the ground, it will be 70 million stones.’

My heart swelled as I glanced around at the loot before shoving it into the expandable backpack.

Is this the result of a few minutes of fighting?

‘I think there must be a hunting ground like this hidden underground.’

Maybe Noark is a good town to live in.

***

shudder.

After wearing a platinum breastplate, he also wore gaiters and miscellaneous equipment with the set he was wearing.

It was the perfect size for a breastplate.

If you’re a cancer, a barbarian, and you’re a fighter, you’ll have to match your armor properly.

“Then move slowly.”

“Oh yeah.”

The eyes of nearby residents felt through the curtained windows were uncomfortable, so I hurried out of the alleyway and entered the boulevard.

Then he followed Amelia and looked around at ease. Reasonable judgment that another farming opportunity may come if you pay too much for a new rookie.

Well, it must have been… … .

“Isn’t there a follow-up?”

“none.”

Even after walking for a long time, no one bites the bait.

“Aren’t you still there?”

“… … none.”

How the hell did this happen?

Carefully expressing her disappointment, Amelia sighed as if there was such a thing.

“Noark is a small place, so word spreads quickly.”

Ah, all those who followed us didn’t come back, so there’s no reason to rush in like before.

“… … Ouch.”

I grabbed my chest and sat down with a painful expression on my face.

Amelia was startled by this and lowered her posture.

“Are you hurt? There was obviously no trauma earlier, is it poison?”

As Amelia rushed to give her the antidote, I whispered softly.

“Don’t worry. Pretending to be hurt.”

“… … … What?”

“If this is the case, can you come again?”

“Barbarian, you really… … .”

Amelia’s eyes seemed to show disgust, and she quickly got up from her seat.

Jeep, when you farm yourself, make it fun.

This is how you put people at ease.

“Follow me now. If it is later, you may have to sleep outside today.”

“I get it.”

Anyway, after moving to the center of the city, we found a place to stay nearby.

Oh, of course, I took one room, not two.

If they were targeting us even while the rumors were spreading, would they be those with enough skills?

“Fortunately, there are several beds.”

“All of Noark’s dormitories are like this, so there is no surprise.”

“yes?”

“Because there is no one in this city who sleeps alone in a place like this.”

From what I’ve heard, it seems that unless you buy a house and form a family, it’s common for most of you to live together with your colleagues… … .

To some extent it is understandable.

If you’re going to live in a place like this, it’s probably safest to walk around in groups.

“Yandel, you wash first. In the meantime, I’m sorting out the loot.”

“Oh, I’ll be there soon.”

After washing in order, Amelia went into the bathroom, and then we chatted for a while.

“What about the loot?”

“For now, I will keep it without selling it. It is three times more expensive to sell it on the ground later.”

“Isn’t there a big difference than I thought?”

“It is only natural that supply outweighs demand.”

Well, I guess that’s right.

Pillagers gather more equipment than manastones.

“But from what I heard before, I think it was said that there is an upper level that crosses the ground and the underground. Can’t we just pass it over there?”

“You must have misunderstood something. When I said it was three times more expensive, it was the price when I sold it to the top.”

“… … Right.”

“So, if you need something, don’t think about selling it, write it. Because this city is like that.”

Anyway, the conversation about loot disposal ends here.

After that, I got to the point.

“So what are we going to do now?”

Once scheduled, the entry into Noark was successful.

And we have two goals to achieve here.

1. Return to the original era by stealing the ‘Fragment Stone of Records’ kept by Seongju.

2. Fulfilling Amelia’s wish.

In fact, it was not said, but in case 2, it would be difficult to achieve. For this woman’s wish to come true, the past must change.

‘Looking at his hard expression at that time, he seems to have recognized this to some extent… … .’

If so, what kind of decision will Amelia make?

“Why are you asking that?”

“I think I might have changed my mind.”

In response to my natural answer, Amelia spoke without hesitation.

“You are saying something strange. There is no change in the plan.”

Yeah, you mean you won’t give up.

***

Day and night exist even in the underground city of Noark.

However, there is no morning or evening.

When it is active time, the jewels embedded in the ceiling emit light, and at night time it is switched to the minimum output.

And in that sense… … .

“It’s daytime.”

After spending the night, as soon as the light came through the window, we went out into the street.

That alone made it feel like an unfamiliar city.

That’s because it’s not a common sight to see the doors of all buildings open and people pouring out as soon as the day comes.

“Stop looking around and come here. If you are late, you will have to wait a long time.”

“Oh, I see.”

Afterwards, Amelia arrived at the lord’s castle located in the center of Noark.

Contrary to what it looked like from afar yesterday, the large gate was wide open and receiving a large number of people.

“Why is everyone going there?”

“Most of the jobs are in permanent residence. Those who do not enter the labyrinth do their assigned work there and live on wages.”

This isn’t a communist country.

After all, since they survived in such a place, the people from Noark must have been so vicious.

[Labyrinth Management Office]

After arriving at our destination, we entered the building.

The interior was similar to the Explorers’ Guild.

Actually, it wasn’t much different.

“Then see you later.”

“Oh yeah.”

To save time, we found a short line for each other.

In Noark, to enter the labyrinth, there were many things that had to be done than expected.

First of all, if you are a newcomer to the city, you have to register separately, and it looks like you have to pay an entrance fee each time you enter the labyrinth… … .

‘How could this be worse than Rafdonia?’

Considering that the beginning of Noark was the ‘Ormi Revolutionary Group’, which called for the overthrow of the royal family, it is absurd.

‘By the way, when does the line get shorter? If that’s the case, why don’t you make a number plate like Rafdonia? What are you doing to gather all the people and line them up?’

It was a time when I stood in line for over 30 minutes, complaining about such a slow process and outdated system.

“Oh, bro! Looking at the registration form, I guess you are a newbie?”

A group of five explorers approached me swaying.

And pretending to be friendly, he put his hand on my shoulder.

“But we’re busy, so can you give me some orders? huh? Now we’re from the same camp, aren’t we? We should help each other.”

I didn’t understand the situation for a while.

‘what?’

Another sleeve?
