Lesson 10: Esterbourg Labyrinth - The Cave

Esterbourg's labyrinth, like other labyrinths, is caved at first.

Well, that neighborhood is natural given the context in which the labyrinth was needed.

However, the details are different.

"That's a lot of crap."

Melissa moaned as she seemed to have difficulty walking.

Until now, the labyrinth was an easy place for people to live, so even if it was a cave covered in rocks, it was an easy flat path to walk.

In the case of Esterbourg, however, there are several grooves between the gotten rocks. This makes it difficult to walk.

This is an unfavourable field, especially for Melissa, the wizard whose physical abilities are not that high.

Most……

"Ah, goblins."

Ira, who was leading the way, noticed Goblin.

The number is two. Normal goblin with just a stick in his hand. This is a level that even new adventurers can defeat if they are desperate to fight.

Fire Arrow

Melissa's unleashed arrow of fire blows Goblin's head off.

She seemed to be the only one struggling with the field, so I took care of Goblin to make sure it wasn't a problem.

Well, inability to move for a wizard is not that much of a problem.

In the end, it ended up just being a fixed turret from behind and unleashing magic.

"What do you want to do?

"Right -"

Defeated goblins.

Goblins have only about a demon stone to sell when they take it back.

And the Demon Stone is not worth it. Which way do you need to stop and do demolition work until...

"Hey, over here!

"Wait..."

"Hmm?"

A child's voice was heard haunting his head about how to dispose of the goblin.

He's as young as the kids he was in front of the entrance.

"Ah......!

Three kids show up from across the bend.

The first is a boy with a short sword in his hand. The second is a girl with a wand like a thin stick. The third is a boy with a big bag on his back.

All three are about the same age as the Elmers in the Mansion.

"Sorry, that goblin. It's the goblin we let go."

That's what the girl comes to apologize for.

When I first explored the labyrinth for a little while, I was attacked by three goblins, good enough to get to the point where they decided they had no chance of winning in their opponents. but I fought crazily to death because I was cornered to the end.

Goblins also insulted the children. For that reason, only one of them was watching the game in the back.

But after a while, it was no longer the kind of situation I could watch.

The children succeeded in defeating the goblins even though they were wounded because they were fighting madly in death.

So, it was the goblins who thought they were going to attack me, but I was scared to see one of my buddies get hit, and I ran away.

"I see. That's where we are."

There was a far more powerful wizard than the girl at the end of the run.

Goblins with no real luck.

"What are you guys doing here?

Children who must do everything they can to one goblin.

Obviously not strong enough.

"We're making money in the labyrinth!

"Pack your bags. Then just follow the grownups and you won't make any money at all."

The two boys said all together.

There are only a few things they can do, even if they say they are making money, that their goblin opponents are making them struggle.

"How dare you find something like this today?"

That's what purple gemstones - shards of.

Unfortunately, it's only about the size of a little ride on your fingertips.

Sapphire shards.

At this size, it's only a small amount, even if it sold.

Still a lot of money for the kids in front of us.

"Where did you get this?

Iris asks, gazing at the children.

……

But the kids don't answer.

I'm holding on tight to even the sapphire you were showing me so they don't take it away from me.

We rushed to us thinking the goblins we let go were attacking someone (who was actually attacked), but to them we are a frightening subject adults. They couldn't have easily told us their results.

"It's okay, I won't take it"

"... Really?

"We're trying the labyrinth for the first time today, and I just want to know what stuff we can get here"

I'm talking to the kids about what they should do with their eyes.

After a while, the girl told me on behalf of her.

"You know what? Sometimes on this floor, there are jewels caught between rocks or something. There are few left because they were replenished decades ago, but only this is about the time we can take them..."

Replenishment - [structural change]. Regular replenishment of resources and demons remains unchanged in Esterbul.

Immediately after the [structural change] occurs, gems and other items are also replenished, so demons revived at the same time by the hands of the adventurers who aimed at them are also being crusaded.

When explored later, there are only gems and leftovers, but demons are also mostly driven away, making exploration possible even for children.

"Oh well. It's good to look, but be careful because there are still demons left."

"Yeah!"

"Well, one advice from me"

I pull the girl's hand and go to the back of the labyrinth.

I leaned against the wall and pointed to the little hole at my feet.

"Try digging here"

"Yeah......"

The three of us worked together to dig a hole using the scoop we brought.

With the power of the child, it takes time to simply widen the hole wide.

"Wow!"

"Awesome!

"I've never seen anything like it."

Three people are surprised to see the sight spreading in front of them.

There were a number of sapphire shards mixed together like you showed me earlier in the sand that came crashing through the hole.

"You can buy everyone's share of this."

"Yeah!"

These kids are just like the kids at the entrance.

Children who live on their own after losing their parents.

"How did you find me?

"Experience?

"Awesome!"

The children are excited about the words of Illis.

"The only thing you guys can do right now is find the trick and the gem this way. Making it a priority to do everything possible to escape even if goblins were opponents"

Even the goblins are impotent even though they can't fight properly.

In Alistair, he regulated that only adventurers who were recognized as having the least amount of strength to fight to ban such impotence would be allowed in. but there are no such regulations in Esterbourg.

I was wondering a little bit, but maybe there's a reason here.

"I knew this..."

"Yeah. I'm sure they're making sure the kids they no longer need are disposed of in the labyrinth."

Melissa agreed.

Children in difficulty begin to challenge the labyrinth, which was challenged both by nature and by their parents. Naturally, even goblin opponents are killed in children who are powerless to fight.

It sounds like you're disposing of it because there are too many orphans. Bad outside sound.

If you become a corpse, you can become enchanted and absorbed, and you can also avoid complaints.

I could say two birds with one stone.

It is your own fault to challenge the labyrinth.

Nevertheless, it's not the same thing to overlook a child trying recklessly to go.

"Earlier advice. Okay?

"But...!

"That'll be enough for a while."

I can't talk about it unless I can at least fight goblins against them.

"Yes......"

reluctantly convinced me.

"That...... thank you!
