Adventurers Are Obsessed With My Cooking - Chapter 146
Episode 141. Suspicious person
“Could it be that Leader knows all the way here?”
“Not all of them, I only know a part of the route I’ve covered. It’s impossible for me to memorize all of this wide dungeon. Ah, Lemon! From there, go right.”
“This way?”
“Be careful. From now on, it will pop out of nowhere.”
City of the Dead.
Among the Nightmare Dungeons, it boasts the highest level of difficulty, and at the time it was a game, it was a place that people avoided because it was more difficult to capture than some Abyss dungeons.
The biggest reason for this is the final boss, Amon Eorgis.
It is also behind the invasion of the Devil Legion, and is the strongest nightmare dungeon that is also named in the command book.
‘You should absolutely avoid dealing with him.’
This is his home base.
No matter how strong our party is, we must be fully prepared to deal with him.
He’s already difficult to deal with, but I don’t know how strong he’s gotten now.
Like the four-armed yaksha at Gate 1 of the Abyss entrance quest, and like the world boss priestess Galutea, he must have become formidably stronger than before.
‘Besides, due to this invasion, there is a chance that the opponent has become impossible. It’s like becoming the final boss of the demon army.’
It was the same at the time of the 1st anniversary event.
At the time, the final boss of the invading monsters was someone other than Amon, but it appeared as a world boss that was dozens of times stronger than the one he faced in the dungeon.
The reward was just as strong.
Because of that situation, there is a high probability that even if you go hunting for him now, he will disappear altogether, or he will become so powerful that one party cannot even touch it.
‘If you get it wrong, you’ll die.’
“Come!”
Following my instructions, a large number of black shadows jumped out from the ruined buildings on either side of Lemon, who was in the lead.
A devil-type monster, Shadow Man.
Transforms the shape of the shadow like a thorn to perform a piercing attack, or use a skill such as ‘Fear’ to perform a mental attack.
“Melissa now!”
“I was already preparing! Arcayin!”
Kwakwang!
A dazzling flash exploded, and dozens of shadows all disappeared in the blink of an eye.
“Yay!”
“Don’t forget to refill the consumed mana.”
“Of course!”
Although a bit cheeky, Melissa’s firepower in her legendary equipment is beyond imagination.
If Lemon endures well, it is possible to deal with dozens of normal monsters in Nightmare Dungeon in one shot.
‘How is it? Isn’t that great?”
I glanced behind me.
As if boasting to the crowd following at a distance.
I can’t even check his expression, but he must have been slyly surprised.
This is not the Abyss, but it is the highest difficulty dungeon of the Nightmare Dungeon.
There are probably only a few wizards who can do that with just one shot of wide-area magic, even if you search all demon slashes.
“It wasn’t there this time, but from now on, elite monsters will also appear. They won’t die in one hit, so Mumu and Rachel have to take care of it.”
“Yes!”
“Oh, I know.”
“Then, shall we speed up slowly? Lemon! You’ll get a rough idea? Just stick to the wall and drag it with aggro so you don’t get surrounded like now.”
“Okay.”
Surveillance is attached, but there doesn’t seem to be anything to worry about.
No, it made me happy.
Now that this has happened, we should properly show off our party’s skills to the demon slashers.
“Then let’s drive and hunt from now on.”
* * *
“Poetry, true story…”
“Cheoljoong hyung and Daesan hyung were right. They must have eaten much better food than what they sold to us?”
“No matter how much buff food you eat. Those little girls over there were beginner local NPCs until just a month ago. It’s only been a week since they first entered the Nightmare Dungeon. Even if they gave me a bus ride, does this make sense? “
Daemon Slash and the others questioned whether this was the spirit monitoring.
Aren’t they chasing idols like sasaeng fans and exclaiming admiration?
“Hyung. But does this mean anything? What kind of surveillance is just watching them hunt in a dungeon?
“Don’t vomit, just do it. Do you think what you’re doing is a joke? Then you’re welcome!”
“Ahahahaha… I’m sorry.”
The current party leader.
Baek Kyung-min, the top executive in charge of the finances of Demon Slash, was very close to Noh Yoo-seok.
There may be a reason why the departments within the guild were the same, but above all, I was greatly shocked by this incident because it was a long-standing relationship that had been with us since its founding.
‘Yoo Seok-ah… I’m sorry. Become an older brother…”
He only took care of the troublesome things, but he didn’t do anything.
I even felt guilty because of it.
Fast deuk.
He bit his molars hard.
Now, even if I wanted to do something, I couldn’t.
‘Daesan-hyung is like that too… Why did you bring me to a place like this…’
At least I wanted to get revenge properly, but no matter how I looked at it, the suspicious ones were the angelic slimes, so why did they send me to a place like this?
I like hyung, but I wanted to hit him hard.
Kang Dae-san.
He is a smart older brother.
He knows that he deliberately placed it this way, fearing that he would cause an accident in his anger.
But that made me even more annoyed.
‘f*ck, how can you be so cool when Yoo Seok is dead?’
From the moment I first heard the news, the anger that has risen has seldom gone.
I want to relieve this dirty feeling, but I wanted to have a blast when I met the slime guys, but I couldn’t.
“Calm down a little, Mr. Baek.”
“Do I look real now?”
“I know. How you feel right now. Do you want us? You know that Yoo-seok followed you well. But we have to carry out our mission properly. You look very emotional right now. It seems like it? Isn’t it, guys?”
“That’s right brother. I’m scared.”
Baek Kyung-min glanced back at his colleagues.
I didn’t say that out of concern for these bastards.
These guys are always like this.
Even in a serious situation, it’s always like a joke.
That’s why I’ve been scolded dozens of times.
As the party leader.
But as of today, I just can’t stand it.
“They’re f*cking. They told me to come and go. Are you guys on duty right now!? Yoo-seok is dead, but you’re splitting things up!”
“Ah… Nagging again.”
“What are you bastard!?”
“Whoa, whoa. Brother. Bairro didn’t kill Yooseok. Why are you doing this?”
“That’s right brother. I’m scared.”
Baek Kyung-min’s face turned red.
However, his body trembled, and he could not refute any more.
If that happens, the party will collapse right here on the mission.
‘It’s not just about different cultures, this is…’
All foreigners.
It’s been a while since they joined the guild, but they’re really good at it.
So no matter what happens, you have to be patient.
As the top executive of Demon Slash, I can’t add one more headache to the guild in the current situation.
“See you after this job. Everyone knows how to discipline.”
“Ugh… You look like you’re being scolded again.”
“Byro. Kill your temper. Because of you, Mr. Kang is going to call you again.”
“What am I? It’s better than having it piled inside. Then you’ll get sick, you lady.”
“Kuh kuh. Well, that’s right.”
“Poop… Hey, oppa, I’ll listen.”
Watching the party members chattering behind him, Baek Kyung-min’s accumulated anger was getting bigger and bigger than he could handle.
And the anger that swelled up like that was about to turn toward the beloved Taemin and the others.
* * *
A huge and splendid castle located in the northernmost part of the city of Felon.
A man was strewn about in a prison located deep underground in the castle.
“Are you Mincheol Kim?”
“……”
Kim Min-chul thought that the voice he was hearing was an hallucination.
It’s already been a week since no one came to visit once a day, except during mealtime.
The meal for today was finished just a few minutes ago.
There was not a single person who could come to find him.
Above all, the voice I heard now was absolutely not that of the soldier in charge of distributing meals.
Neither were my former colleagues who left me alone and never came to visit me.
“You’d better answer? Or are you dumb?”
“…Who are you?”
“Well? Who am I? Khehehehe.”
A sarcastic laugh.
From noble mtl dot com
But Kim Min-cheol didn’t even have the energy to get angry anymore.
Once a day, it is because they have only eaten the amount of food that is dirty.
“This doesn’t sound like much. How about it, don’t you want to get out of here?”
“…Go away.”
I want to go out.
I want to be liberated from here.
But I know very well that I can’t do that.
This is no longer a game.
If you try to escape and get caught, then you have to prepare for real death.
‘I didn’t really kill that bastard Jeon Tae-min, so why are you running away?’
The expectation of liberation after the trial.
I was only looking at that.
‘What will npc’s do with me? In the end, I’ll have no choice but to release it.’
It may take away its equipment, but it has a strong body.
Go to the beginner area and slowly start again.
It will take a long time, but whatever it is, things will be better than they are now.
‘I can’t die in a place like this…’
Above all, I couldn’t trust the suspicious voice that suddenly appeared.
“You’ve become a coward in just a few days.”
“Shut up. It doesn’t work.”
“Are you expecting to be released after the trial?”
“……”
“Looks like you got it right. So do you know this? Your comrades, you’re in trouble with the cook again this time.”
“It has nothing to do with me now!”
When Taemin’s story came out, Mincheol Kim overreacted violently.
“Is that so? Even if it killed one person?”
“…!?”
“Looks like you’re starting to get a little interested now, huh?”
The suspicious person gave a brief explanation of what happened from the priest Reid to the assassination of Noh Yoo-seok.
Of course, he did not say that Noh Yoo-seok was killed.
He only told the cook that one of the blunders was dead.
“Could it be that Jeon Tae-min bastard…”
He didn’t answer.
Kim Min-cheol just smiled quietly without replying, as you can imagine.
“I’m afraid those sparks won’t strike you. That cook has a good reputation? He’s friendly with a noble or even a lord in Pellon. Interfering in your trial would be easier than blowing your nose? Maybe it’s difficult to get the death penalty, at least. Wouldn’t he get a 10-year sentence? Otherwise… I might release him and then quietly erase him. hehehe.”
“!?”
“Then, I’ll leave. I’ve said everything. Ah, this is a gift. It’s a private meal, so enjoy it.”
“Now, wait! My story isn’t over yet!”
But he didn’t answer back.
“You bastard! I have a question for you!”
His voice was interrupted by a wall deep underground and shattered.
The silence came again.
Kim Min-cheol huffed up and accepted the food the suspicious man had left on the floor.
And he gobbled it up.
Kim Min-chul knew it too.
He couldn’t be sure because he didn’t have emotions, but no matter how he looked at the dish he was eating, it must have been the tacos that Jeon Taemin used to sell.
