Tae-min, who was heading to town with Alicia, had a lot of conversations with her and got even closer.

As I heard outside, the elves here had a great affinity for humans.

"It's surprising that the elves like humans.”

"I've only heard of it. In fact, human beings

It's the first time I've seen something.”

"Really? That's weird. I'm sure our people came and went...

you

• • •

Tae-min continued as if she had forgotten something.

"It's the first time I've been out like this because I've been in a new High Elf party not long ago."

"High Elf?"

"Yes, the owner of the forest, the mother of all the elves. The leader of the tribe goes to a new shrine under the tree of the world once a month and gets his mental strength from him. What you always say at that's all.

You know, "Man is the most perfect intellectual of all races, the only one who can fight the calamity to come." So basically, the elves have a thing for humans."

"Oh, I see. That's interesting, but I have a question... Have you ever been out of here?"

"Are you getting out of here? What does that mean?"

"So have you ever been out of this forest and out into a place where humans live?"

"Uh, um, I don't know, not that I know of.

I think... We can't go outside the boundaries of the forest."

"Why?"

"I don't know why. However, no one has ever thought of it."

"Really? Since when have you been here?”

One of Tae-min's most curious questions was the story of the birth of the dungeon.

Since when did dungeons exist, and by what and why did they appear in this form to the world?

It's not just Tae-min, it's human.

It was something everyone was curious about.

To his curious question, she answered immediately, as if it were insignificant.

"As far as I know, 10,000 years?"

"10,000 years?

Tae-min was embarrassed by her answer.

10,000 years, not 1 year, not 10 years.

10,000 years is before the world civilization began.

It's only been 20 years since the portal was created.

Her answer was common sense nonsense.

Ten thousand years... Well, do you happen to know there's a dungeon like this somewhere else?"

"What?"

"So… the same portal as here……

"I'm sorry, but I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh, I'm asking too many questions. I'm sorry."

Tae-min tried to explain as easily as possible, but when Alicia seemed to have no idea, he decided to quit.

It was a short conversation, but she didn't seem to be very old among the elfs here.

I'll ask the other elfs when I get to town. But... she's not acting, is she?’

I was suddenly suspicious.

Tae-min's caution was too great to trust 100 percent of non-human women, even if they had never seen him before.

What if he's setting a trap and waiting to eat a human being?

It was a story that had the full potential.

That's what dungeons are for.

'Elfs aren't rushing into the crowd.’

Having been worried inside, he quickly let go of that feeling.

'Even a hornet tower can be applied by itself, like an elf's forest.’

He had the confidence to get through any difficulties because his ability has increased dramatically due to recent equipment upgrades. Judging from the level of the elf on his back, or the level of the stump he caught earlier, it's safe to say that there's very little that can harm him.

Because I did.

About an hour to travel, talking to her about this and that. A watchtower soared far into his sight.

"Is it there?"

"Yes, that's right."

When Tae-min reached the entrance of the fence, two male elves on the watchtower aimed at the bow.

At the same time, an elf standing at the entrance blocked him.

They seemed to be quite vigilant, and when Alicia was seen behind his back, they hardened their faces and became businesslike.

I spoke in a humane manner.

"Who are you? Why are you with the child?”

"Oh, there in the woods...…

Tae-min was trying to explain, but Alicia started first.

"He's not a bad guy, man. I went out to pick fruit and met Stump, and Tae-min saved it for me."

"Really?"

"Yes, I can't walk well because I'm hurt. He took me all the way here."

It's not until she says that the man is firm.

I relaxed my facial expression.

"I'm sorry. There's been a lot of bad news in town lately. If you saved Alicia, we owe you a favor, so could you wait here for a moment?"

"Yes. Well, I will."

The man seemed to be pointing his hand up and pointing his bow at the watchtower, but soon disappeared into the fence.

"I hope you don't feel too bad. As Jason said, monsters often appear around the village these days, so the atmosphere is chaotic. Sarah

There's a lot of gin elves... I think it's because he's worried about me.”

"It's okay. It's a situation that can be misunderstood. By the way, do you see a lot of monsters?"

"Monster? Oh, monster? I've always had it, but I didn't show up often. About once a month? But recently, I'm worried that it appears every day. For the Elfs, fruit is like a staple… Oh, there's an old man."

While they were talking, the man who went inside reappeared.

"I'd like to officially say hello. I'm Jason, the head of the village's garrison."

"Yes, I'm Park Tae-min. Nice to meet you."

"Come on, inside. Chief wants to meet you."

When I followed him inside, a pretty big village appeared.

And I could see the elfs working here and there.

Their lives seemed little different from humans.

From the elf farming to the well.

Elfs gathered at and chatting.

Tae-min felt a great deal of familiarity watching their daily lives.

Going in a little further, Jason stopped walking in front of a wooden building.

Seeing the smoke coming out of the ttuk and the smell of medicinal herbs vibrating, it seemed like an oriental clinic.

"You need to heal your wounds, so you can go home after treatment here."

At Jason's words Tae-min dropped her on the table ahead.

Then she bowed 90 degrees and thanked her.

"Thank you very much for today. Tae-min 님."

"Yes, take care of yourself."

Having said a quick goodbye to her, he moved back along with Jason.

With the disappearance of the shield Alicia, he looked closely around and prepared for what might happen.

As soon as I did this, I was going to pull myself out or wipe it out.

So Taemin, who was following Jason, was able to get to the chief's house.

All

The chief's house looked no different from the numerous wooden buildings he had seen as he passed by.

It was ridiculously narrow and ordinary to say that the single-story compact was the home of the manager in charge of a village.

When he gets inside, a beautiful man in his early 20s welcomes him.

"Welcome. I'm Mirac, the chief of the village."

"Hello, I'm Park Tae-min."

Tae-min was speechless when he said that a man who looked much younger than him was the chief, but on the other hand, he thought it could be.

This is a dungeon, not a modern place.

There was nothing strange about it.

"I heard you saved Alicia from danger. On behalf of the clan, I thank you for saving my life. Would you like to join us if you haven't eaten?"

Tae-min opened his mouth embarrassedly at the chief's suggestion.

"Thank you for saying this. It hasn't been long since I've eaten.…

Tae-min declined on purpose.

This is because it has not yet been determined whether it is an enemy or an ally.

"Oh, I see."

"I'll take your place instead."

"Will you? Then this way."

Tae-min sat in the seat given by the chief.

Then I waited until the food came out and started asking questions I was curious about.

Unlike monsters, intelligent beings.

It was possible because it was.

But the chief didn't know much either.

"We don't know when this place came into being. It's just that the HighElf gave me that remark, so I know that."

"I see. Then maybe the HighElf knows the secret of this forest."

"I think you probably do. He knows everything."

While they were talking, the table was served.

Soup and freshly baked bread. And there were all kinds of fruits and vegetables.

Nevertheless, Tae-min had to keep swallowing dry saliva because of the incredible smell.

I should've just eaten.

The conversation continued even during the meal.

Usually Tae-min asked questions and the chief answered them.

Meanwhile, he frowned at the translucent spear that kept coming to his mind.

Why does this keep popping up?’

[Check the quest window - Wheel of Destiny (2/3)]

Even if I touch the window and close it, I can't help but be bothered because it keeps appearing in front of my eyes.

Eventually, he asked the elves for understanding and turned to one side to open the quest window.

[Wheel of Destiny (2/3)]

Help the elves stop the monsters from invading.

The quest will be initialized on failure.

00:00:59

Rewards - Increased affinity

Help the Elfs stop the monsters from invading. What's the time down there?'

As he was reading the story, his eyes were drawn to the decreasing number of seconds at the bottom.

I don't think you're asking me to catch him in 50 seconds.…

Tae-min thought about asking the chief, but waited until the numbers disappeared.

Because I felt like I was counting for some reason.

00:00:55

00:00:02

00:00:01

00:00:00

Soon as the number went to zero, the floating window disappeared, and I heard a notification.

Came

The invasion of monsters begins.』
