‘You look bad.’
Kang Seung-hyun looked at the request he received.
For convenience, they are called wolves, but they are completely different from real wolves. To put it bluntly, it was a monster close to the shadow of a werewolf.
“There is no proper information yet, only what is known, but… he is an amazing guy, right?”
“I don’t know how amazing it is, but it’s the first monster I’ve ever seen.”
I don’t know if it’s another area, but at least it’s a monster I’ve never seen in the area I’m staying at.
“I haven’t seen it yet, but people who have seen it say the atmosphere is no joke.”
The man smiled and said.
“There are opinions that it doesn’t seem like a creature from this world, and the priests are reluctant to say that they feel an ominous energy… Anyway, he’s a great guy!”
“When priests say things like that, 70% of it will be resolved if you add more money. The ominous energy they talk about is usually a roundabout way of saying that they have little money.”
“what? It was like that… No no! It’s not about gold, it just means that the monster is dangerous!”
Anyway, according to the man’s words, it’s clear that it’s not an ordinary monster.
“Recruiting ‘large-scale raid’ members to fight against dangerous monsters that even priests are reluctant to do! Isn’t a plausible sign like this important?”
“If I write it down like that, many people will be interested.”
It’s the same for the Azul continent and the Earth, but plausible publicity is an important law.
“From what I’ve heard, the Adventurers’ Guild seems to be in a bit of a hurry. Of course, since the party we sent was completely broken.”
‘This guy was an employee of the Adventurers’ Guild.’
Kang Seung-hyeon heard the line and noticed the man’s identity.
This is because normal, ordinary adventurers do not needlessly worry about or praise adventurer combinations.
‘How much do I get paid for doing this?’
Adventurer’s Guilds often put their employees in to promote or directly recommend marketing in order to solve difficult requests in this way.
‘It must be true that you are in a hurry. I sent an adventurer party 12 times and it failed.’
At first, a tip came in and an investigation team was sent, but I felt it was more dangerous than I thought, so I withdrew immediately.
After that, the investigation team returned and immediately changed it to a hunting request, but failed.
After that, I tried again with a reward, but failed.
I recruited an adventurer party by raising more rewards, but failed, failed, failed.
‘If we go on like this, the reputation of the Adventurers Guild will be affected… Did they change it to a raid request?’
A raid quest is a quest that must be cleared by at least 20 adventurers and an average of 30 or more adventurers working together.
Boss monsters that escaped from dungeons are usually the main targets, but like this time, monsters that are strong enough to match the boss monsters are also targets.
‘The word is cooperation, but it feels like “the one who catches it first wins!”
Judging from the fact that general quests were changed to raid quests in such a short period of time, it seems true that the Adventurer Guild was nervous.
‘Actually, the rewards are pretty strong.’
Kang Seung-hyun, who was looking at the request, said,
‘I’m going to be free for the past few days… Shall I try it?’
The rewards aren’t too bad, and since the target of this quest is a monster I’ve never seen before, I’m interested.
‘It’s also important to get new monster information.’
Kang Seung-hyun’s lifeline [Observation Eye] was a skill that became more effective the more knowledge the target had.
‘And what’s more, with a request of this scale, a lot of injured people won’t come out. Healers will also participate, but there is no one who hates potions.’
He must have earned a good portion of the potion. Kang Seung-hyun was thinking of recovering his lost points and trying roulette again.
“All right. I will participate.”
“Oh great choice!”
Seunghyun Kang nodded and replied.
“If an adventurer with skills like you participates, I have nothing more to ask for!”
The man was very happy and took the request.
It seems that he came to scout Kang Seung-hyeon on purpose after receiving an order from the Adventurer Guild.
“The raid departure date is in three days. The location is a temporary camp at the top of Skana Mountain, so please come on time.”
“If it’s Skana Mountain, it’s a place with quite a distance.”
Looking at the map, it takes about two days from here.
Even if you go by carriage, you have to get off halfway and walk, so if you don’t want to be booed for being late, you have to hurry.
“Isn’t that why you set up camp? I really thought I was going to die… No no. would it be really hard? I mean the ’employees’, the Adventurers’ Guild staff! Not that I am an employee.”
‘This guy is also a union employee.’
This man still seems to think he hasn’t been caught.
‘Let’s pretend not to know.’
It was not enough to go to the top of the mountain, which took two days on foot, and build a campsite.
They are poor people in many ways.
“You can get quite a few items at the campsite, so you don’t have to worry as long as you have enough ‘money’.”
‘He never said that he would just give.’
The union employee said with a proud face, but in the end, he meant to starve without money.
I could feel the will of the adventurer’s union to thank them for setting up a campsite at the top of the mountain.
“All right. Then see you there.”
“Then, at the temporary campsite at the top of Skana Mountain!”
The Adventurer’s Guild employee said this and disappeared to find another prey.
– And two days later.
Kang Seung-hyun arrived at Skana Mountain.
“It’s annoying, but why don’t we just go?”
But the moment I reached the mountain, I wanted to go back. It was because the mountain was much bigger and higher than he thought.
‘I came here thinking of a mountain in the back of the neighborhood. It must be the 1000th floor.’
Seunghyun Kang clicked his tongue and looked up at the mountain.
Even if there is a cable car, I wonder if it will take an hour, but there is no such thing as Camar.
‘I put up with it because of the real point.’
I really hate to go, but raid requests are rare. Kang Seung-hyun did not want to miss the golden opportunity to collect a large amount of points at once.
‘I wouldn’t have to do something like this if I just got the healing skill.’
In the end, Seunghyun Kang decided to climb Mt. Skana.
trudge trudge.
The mountain itself is an ordinary mountain that can be seen anywhere on the Azul Continent, where there is nothing special about it.
It was still daytime, so there were no threatening monsters to be seen, and small animals such as rabbits and mouse raccoons stood out in the middle of the bush.
‘Did the Adventurers Guild staff carry a tent to the top of the mountain? I’m glad I didn’t get a job at the Adventurer’s Guild.’
It reminds me of the staff who must have climbed the mountain in front of me.
After all, the Adventurer’s Guild is a black company.
‘By the way, why did they build it on top of a mountain?’
Kang Seung-hyeon muttered as he looked at the map he was carrying.
Temporary camps are usually built in the middle of the mountain at the waist, not at the top of the mountain. If you want to investigate the entire mountain, it’s basic to secure a base in the middle rather than the top.
‘When there’s no place to build, I build on the top, but this mountain is halfway up the hill… There’s even a village in the first place, right?’
Looking closely at the map, I could see that there was a small village named ‘Skanakia’ halfway up Skana Mountain.
There are no other villages on the map, so it seems that this is the only village in Skana Mountain.
‘…This is a bit strange.’
There was a village halfway up the mountain like this, but there was no way there wouldn’t be an Adventurer’s Guild building. Because the Adventurer’s Guild are guys who like to screw things up.
Even if you haven’t built one yet, you don’t have to build a campsite in the first place, just stay in Skanakia Village.
No matter how well you build a makeshift camp, it won’t be as good as a real village.
‘Still, if I had to build a campsite, wouldn’t it be natural to build it on the hillside near the village, not on the top of the mountain?’
Seunghyun Kang thought with a puzzled face.
Doesn’t this seem like a reason not to build a campsite in the middle of the hill?
‘Before going to the top of the mountain, let’s stop by Skanakia Village.’
As I walked while thinking about this and that, before I knew it, I arrived halfway up Skarna Mountain.
Of course, it’s a long way to the top, but the village of Scanakia is nearby.
‘According to the map, it’s around here… Huh?’
When we reached the middle of the mountain, we saw someone hanging around. He seemed to be in his early twenties, with his hair ponytailed and his clothes looking like an adventurer.
“Oh hello! Did you come to raid too?”
“By the way.”
“nice to meet you! I came here for the same thing.”
The man asked for a handshake with a narrow smile, even though there was nothing particularly nice about it.
‘Why are you pretending to be friendly in the first meeting? Unlucky.’
These guys are gullible bastards.
Seunghyun Kang ignored the handshake and opened his mouth.
“okay. But what are you doing here?”
“I was resting on the way to the top of the mountain because I was tired. Everyone else is resting here too.”
The man responded by lowering his hand.
After hearing that, I looked around and found other adventurers resting on rocks halfway up the slope.
“okay.”
Kang Seung-hyun spat out without a soul.
Either that or not, the man smiled and said.
“Quite a lot of adventurers came to see if the Adventurer Guild worked hard. I’m going up now, would you like to go there too?”
“Oh, I thought I’d stop by Skanakia Village before going to the makeshift camp.”
Kang Seung-hyun, of course, had no intention of going with the others, so he immediately ignored it and tried to pass by.
“yes? A Skanakian village?”
“I was thinking of asking you something there.”
“Did you not hear anything?”
Then the man asked with a puzzled face.
“Yes, did you just come?”
“It’s a mess there right now.”
“Crazy?”
According to the man, the village of Scanakia was attacked by a certain monster and turned into ruins.
“So the Adventurers Guild discovered the Shadow Wolf while investigating the Scanakian Village incident. If the investigators run away as soon as they meet… needless to say, he must be the culprit.”
“Are there any survivors in town?”
“Some adventurers seem to have escaped by luck, but all the villagers are annihilated! They were all terribly ‘bitten’ to death.”
“That’s why they built the campsite at the top.”
“That’s right, because the middle chin is uncomfortable.”
The man covered his body in horror.
After all, no one wants to use a campsite near a slain village.
“It’s a monster that destroyed a village and started a party of adventurers chasing after it…”
At this point, I wonder what kind of guy it is.
How strong is he that he is making this mess?
Bass Rock!
“Quaaaaagh!”
It was then.
From somewhere, a scream and the sound of the bushes shaking wildly could be heard.
“Ugh damn…”
“It’s stronger than I thought!”
Let’s get closer. A few injured adventurers and
“&♠②…!”
I was able to find a shadow monster that exudes black energy.
