chapter 12
00012 #1 – my minions are insanely capable
#1 – My subordinates are insanely capable (12)
After entering the labyrinth, I decided to take a light quest from the Adventurer’s Guild.
Like the crime guild’s guild contribution, there is a concept of performance in the adventurer guild.
If you accumulate a lot of achievements, you can challenge more advanced quests, and various benefits are given.
“I don’t see any reason to do such a trivial thing. boss. Even without quests, I am strong.”
I patiently explained to Caesar, who was fussing.
“This is what it means to have a history of completing quests. Even if you don’t prove you’re strong by killing someone, it’s a kind of ‘mark’ or ‘commendation’ to let others know that you’ll die if you break it.”
“indeed. If that’s the case, then I’m craving it.”
For this low-level murder maniac, it’s cumbersome every time because the conversation doesn’t go through unless it’s an explanation that meets your eye level.
Since then, I haven’t had any trouble with it.
Passing through the Adventurer’s Guild and heading towards the center of the city, several bulkheads appeared, and a huge wall appeared beyond that.
“that’s interesting. The boss must have been to the Labyrinth City before.”
“none.”
“Then why aren’t you curious? As for having the most dangerous entrance to the labyrinth inside the city, where it should be safest.”
It’s a silly question.
“From the beginning, the labyrinth city started as a camp built to block the entrance to the labyrinth. For the soldiers to stay for a long time, facilities were built, a commercial district was formed, and adventurers were added.”
“Hey.”
“The main role of the labyrinth city is to contain the labyrinth before fulfilling its function as a city. If you build up a resistance inside, you only create a risk that monsters will build up in the resistance in case of emergency.”
These are not walls and bulkheads to deter foreign invasion.
Rather, it should be seen as the opposite.
It is a defense system against monsters that may come up from the inside.
“The boss is also great! I’m sure you’ll even have that kind of military insight. Also my eyes are not wrong. I am great!”
Do you want to praise me, or do you want to be narcissistic?
I’m confused, so do one of the two.
“The request is made with this.”
[Goblin Subjugation (Repeat)] [Difficulty: Lowest]
[Summary: At the entrance of the labyrinth, for some reason, a large number of goblins constantly appear. Goblins with accumulated numbers pose a great threat to novice adventurers, so a subjugation quest is issued.]
[Clear condition: Cut the goblin’s nose.]
[Reward: 5 coopers per goblin nose.]
The nose has the value of a magic reagent and nothing like that. Goblins are actually of no benefit no matter how much you kill them.
This is really a quest that feels like a part of a beginner nurturing policy that the Adventurer’s Guild created to keep beginner adventurers safe and gain experience.
Usually, novice adventurers enter the labyrinth and come out exhausted by catching goblins within the limits of their physical and mental strength. The number of catches is only double digits at best.
‘That’s because it lacks power and there’s no place to store the cut nose…but that doesn’t apply to my subordinates.’
One has a whopping 20 strength, and the other has a subspace pocket.
The backpack was bought to deceive other adventurers, so only when you get out of the labyrinth, you only need to refill the backpack with the items you have moved into the space pocket.
If you use this method, it’s not that difficult to get a three-digit number like a goblin. As a bonus, if you acquire evenly distributed experience as a result of party hunting, your level will naturally rise.
‘Perfect! An excellent plan with no flaws!’
I am afraid of my own abilities.
Still, it’s not me who works, but my subordinates.
what do you know about that
There are guards stationed on the way to the entrance.
It is a force to fight monsters in case of emergency.
The Adventurer’s Guild and the mayor’s soldiers usually look like bad guys who peck poor adventurers, but when a crisis occurs, they are in a position to risk their lives to fight.
“There will be a brief screening process. Show your adventurer license, and put your hand on the crystal.”
The inspection procedure could be easily passed. There is no record of arrests or trials by the guards, even if the infamous figures have accumulated.
However, it was only me and Lina who passed so easily, and in front of Caesar, two spears drew an X and blocked the way.
“Murder maniac…!? this crazy I thought it was going to rot in a place that had nothing to do with Brahm, but are you finally trying to extend your hand to beginner adventurers who enter and exit the labyrinth!?”
oh, this guy is ugly
The background settings are completely messed up.
I said to the guards angrily.
“That guy is mine. Gone are the days of running wild like a wild horse without reins.”
“However…!”
“In the beginning, the adventurer tribe often had their own unique history. Did the guards in the labyrinth city of Bram even review the history and search for adventurers to receive adventurers?”
It can’t be. Any serious criminal will accept it once he decides to become an adventurer. That is the policy of the Adventurers Guild.
If it is later discovered that a heinous crime has been committed inside the labyrinth, an alarm sounds when you put your hand on the crystal.
At least at this point in time, Caesar was not perceived to have committed a crime within the labyrinth. Still, if you stop him, it will be an act of extravagance of the guards towards the Adventurer’s Guild.
“Ugh… I hope you can control that killer maniac.”
With a grin, he passed the guard.
“Wow. The boss is also great! People in the shadows like us usually can’t speak properly in front of guards.”
“Don’t make a fuss, Lina. The crime guild’s eyes must be inside, right?”
“Ugh…”
As I passed the checkpoint, I saw several large buildings, merchants, and adventurers wandering around.
For adventurers who have an urgent need and have to go through the checkpoint procedure again, it is a section where supplies, blacksmiths, and magic tools stores sell goods at prices close to profit.
They are the first places you see when entering or exiting the labyrinth, so they don’t care about money or are bothered to go far, and most careless guys use this place a lot.
“boss. Fewer people than expected. Have you all been attacked by monsters like bugs?”
“There are just a lot of entrances. There are more than ten roads leading to these entrances in this neighborhood.”
Naturally, the walls and bulkheads surrounding it became wider, and the size of the city beyond it became even larger.
As a result, the size of the labyrinth cities is comparable to or larger than the capital of each country.
It’s not that the nobles are arguing with the labyrinth city for nothing or trying to insert a straw.
oh oh oh oh…
As I stepped on the stairs leading to the labyrinth, I heard the sound of the wind almost screaming.
The presence of a gigantic labyrinth, which is far different from the dungeons that exist in the outside world, is radiating at least partly.

Most of the new adventurers are overwhelmed by this ominous feeling, and some run away, while others are overly nervous and slash their mental strength.
jerk. jerk.
me? It’s been a few years, but I want you to be sulking around here and there.
I walked down proudly as if this was my home.
With such a resolute attitude, Caesar and Lina seemed to be satisfied.
Cheeky!
The path where the stairs end and the wide passage begins.
The large rat cubs flashed red eyes from the rat hole.
Caesar stared at the mouse hole and spit out life.
Cheeky!
The effect of Caesar’s death and divergence was great!
The rat got scared and ran away!
“Don’t play around.”
“sorry. I was a little bored.”
For some reason, Lina followed with a look of boredom.
As I walked down the aisle, I smelled blood.
Caesar said to me with a lot of anger.
“There are human corpses. It looks like a stupid adventurer got hit by something and died.”
That’s right.
“Are you a powerful monster that came up from the depths of the labyrinth? Did trolls, minotaurs, or ogres, who are treated as giant horses, appear?”
“Are you stupid? If such a monster is roaming around this place, the Adventurer’s Guild will have already issued an emergency removal quest, and will strictly block entry for beginner adventurers.”
“I’m sorry. I thought it was a great opportunity to show my true worth. Don’t be disappointed, boss. Next time we meet, we will yield one of the giants to the boss.”
I don’t need that kind of consideration. caring is heavy.
Leaving something heavy and dying instantly.
“Keep, Kkeek!”
By the time we saw the human corpse, we realized something strange.
Something hanging from a corpse and devouring its arm.
There was a monster that came to mind when I saw the small body and eating the corpse.
“Is that the ‘Dread One’, the reigning lord of darkness?”
“It’s a scavenger Goblin.”
What kind of monster is the dreaded one?
There’s no way a monster with such a damn name would appear from the very beginning of the first floor of the labyrinth.
The sound was also something of a squeaky squeak.
“It’s the first practice. Put it away.”
Caesar grinned, showing his ferocious sharp teeth.
“Such a small dish is nothing more than a piece of meat in front of me. I’ll show you. The first subordinate of the boss, this Caesar’s superpower!”
“Yeah~”
puck!
The dagger that Lina threw pierced the goblin’s head.
Whoops!
Seeing the corpse that had fallen helplessly, Lina grinned.
“What are you feeling? Against such a bastard.”
“female. Do not take my prey!”
“If you want to catch it, catch it. You can’t be faster than me, can you? Bee~”
quick.
Veins sprouted from Caesar’s forehead.
A torch in the aisle cast shadows on his face, creating an even more bloody scene.
“That word will make you regret it.”
Since then, we have often seen goblins walking down the aisle.
If you add up the numbers, it’ll probably be over ten.
Still, there was no need to count who caught how many.
In the hunting match between Caesar and Lina, Lina unilaterally won.
is a victory
This is because the goblin was instantly killed by making cute cheering sounds such as ‘Yap’, ‘Eight’, and ‘Voila’.
“Not this time!”
flesh!
Caesar, who was running with a sword, changed his strategy and threw the dagger in his arms. The dagger that was flying fiercely looked like it would pierce the goblin’s head, but…
“Find a gap!”
Ting! Degur.
The dagger that Lina threw hit Caesar’s dagger and changed its path.
Enraged, Caesar threw all the remaining six daggers, but each time the dagger hit Lina’s dagger and passed around the goblin.
“Keeek…”
The terrified goblin stood still, unable to move, and trembled. Caesar threw a stone at the poor goblin, but it missed without Lina interfering.
“Ahhh!!”
Caesar was so enraged that he could no longer be angry, and ran away with his sword, but the goblin had already died by Lina’s dagger.
[Lina killed the goblin.]
[You have acquired a very small amount of experience as party experience.]
“Well. Good.”
“Hehehe. Did the boss praise you? Who was praised differently?”
Even though they are shy and arrogant, the atmosphere changes drastically because there are girls in the team.
what to say
“The rotten girl… … !”
It’s like the atmosphere of Caesar’s overflowing life that makes you think nothing of it.
That’s terrifying.
Even I, who wanted to get used to it, can’t make eye contact.
🍑🍑🍑 🥺🥺
👌👌👌👌👌
In the middle of exploring the labyrinth, whether hunting or excursions, with such a relaxed feeling, I heard a number of goblins talking to each other.
“female! If you disturb me this time, I will cut off the head of four years!”
“okay okay. I’m sorry if I took too much. Take this whole bunch.”
“The moment you break that word will be the end of your life.”
No, usually when a group like that appears, don’t the bad guys get a little scared and cooperate with each other?
They know how many will come out and are so proud.
‘Didn’t I say that the difficulty level was higher than that?’
After thinking about it for a while, I was able to see the difference between me and other gamers. They were the gamers having a hard time catching monsters, and I was comfortable with NPCs catching monsters.
Simply put, unlike them, I can ride the bus with the help of the help of my subordinates.
