As soon as Rokhan finished his preparations at the Crossroads, he headed to the villa where the mad baron was.
Although it is called a villa, it was almost a mansion level building. Even though he is a baron, this is the part where you can see how great the position of nobility is.
smart.
There was a knock on the door, but there was no news from inside.
'Should I wait a little longer?'
Unresponsive, Rokhan looked up at the sky. The sunset was just crossing the horizon.
It was an evening time that was difficult to hunt in the field, but the reason Rokhan visited this time was simple.
The mad count can only be seen at night.
"… … who are you "
After waiting for a while, a response came from inside. It was not the mad baron himself, but rather his servant.
"My name is Lokhan, belonging to the Crossroads Guard. I heard that Baron Truel needs help."
It was a lie. Through some route, I was able to get the information that the mad baron, Baron Truel, was saving people, but Rokhan didn't hear it directly or receive a request.
It was only through the memories of the previous life, but the title of the Cross Road Guards added credibility.
"Ah, you are a guard. Thank you for coming. Come in here."
Thanks to that, even the servant was tricked. I wanted to bring Rokan inside, but I went up to the second floor and called Baron Truel.
"I didn't know that the garrison would send someone directly. yes, you will help me"
"yes. If there is anything I can do, I will do my best to help."
Perhaps because Rokhan's level was low, Baron Truell looked at him with a grim look, and then, as if he had made a decision, he opened his glossy lips.
"The reason I came here is to treat my little daughter. I would really do anything for her. But now her body is too weak to try anything. So I beg you, bring me the blood of the troll that appears in the Cave of the Cursed Life. The troll's life force should be able to restore her body to some extent."
[Recovery of Baron Truel's young daughter 1][Quest]
Baron Truel has asked for your help to save his young daughter.
-Completion condition: Cursed cave troll's blood (0/10)
-Reward: 5 gold
"All right."
Rokhan readily accepted the quest. The reward was quite generous, as if he were indeed a nobleman, but Lokhan's expression when he came out was not very good.
Being the second inning, he already knew the end of this quest.
"Well, I can't help it."
After Lokhan used the mark to save the location in the rune book, he headed to the troll dungeon called Cave of the Cursed Life. He saved the location on the way, so the move was quick.
"From now on, we are going to attack one of the public dungeons located around the Crossroads, the 'Cave of the Cursed Life'."
The moment we arrived at the entrance of the dungeon, Rokhan started filming the video. Since he was going to attack the dungeon to shoot for YouTube from the beginning, he added a comment this time.
Of course, "Brothers~." It wasn't a straightforward concept to start with.
"As many of you already know, dungeons are not affected by external time. Since it is closed anyway, the ability to become stronger at night or during the day does not apply. In addition, it always provides the same view, so if you have difficulty hunting in the evening, it is recommended to settle down in the dungeon. In the field near the tertiary city, there are people from the early 100s to the 120th level."
It was enough just to show the inside of the dungeon, show the monsters that appeared, and show the pattern, but the reason for adding a comment that I couldn't do well was simple.
It's because you can exercise 'influence' right away.
'It's a big picture.'
Unpack the right information at first. Of course, with simple things that are not so important from his point of view. After building trust like that, he mixes a little lie when he needs it.
I had no intention of going live 100% anyway, so I was able to control the information that was exposed as I wanted.
"The special feature of this dungeon is that trolls appear as monsters. As far as I know, it seems to be the first time that trolls appear as monsters in the Golden Lion camp. But it's not just trolls. The moment I speak, the first monster finally appears."
[Cave Stone Monkey][Lv 103]
Upon entering the dungeon, the first thing that greeted Rokan was a monster called the Cave Stone Monkey.
It might be quicker to say that he is a muscle monkey, but his body and fists are hard as stone, so he has excellent attack and defense power, and he harasses users with his agile movements unique to monkeys.
"Once the level is appropriate. However, their attack power, defense power, and agility are evenly high, so it can be dangerous if you're not careful."
The explanation was threatening, but Rokhan's response was simple. After staring at the fist of the cave monkey, who was rapidly rushing forward with a punch, he swung his ax like a thunderbolt and smashed it to the ground.
"But on the other hand, since all stats are high, you can defeat them with strength or speed. It's so easy."
Squeak!
The stone monkeys scattered on the floor got up again as if in a fit and attacked, but the opponent was Lokhan.
The battle ax, swung lightly as if commanding, cut off his arm and shattered his skull.
"Then why are there these guys in the troll habitat?"
I looked up again and saw the guys in the distance, grouped in groups of five. The guys who were showing hostility toward the intruder laughed as if they were cute.
"That's because they are prey to the trolls. Even if they gather in groups and threaten them, they are mere prey to predators. Just like this, heh heh heh heh heh heh!"
It was a cry of madness mixed with the force.
Electrifying fear swept across the area, and the stone monkeys, who seemed ready to attack at any moment, rolled their eyes. They had seizures as if they were watching trolls, or some gave up resistance and turned over.
However, those who watched the video would not know the English. Since the effect doesn't appear differently, you'd think it was just a walk-lining. Thanks to this, you will have to go through a lot of trial and error, but from Rokan's point of view, that wasn't too bad.
'He's giving me a picture.'
The picture was good enough for this. Rokan skipped further comments and rushed at them, swinging his battle ax like a dance.
There was no need to show off your combination skills. It's because they're enough to crush them without a combination skill.
You can't make it the same just by looking at it, but there may be people who want to check yourself among the guys who advance to the crossroads later, so it was good to keep it hidden as much as possible.
"Next is Giant Bat. It's a giant bat, but it doesn't have any ultrasonic attacks. Headbutting and biting are the main attacks, so flying is tricky, but it's a cave anyway, so you can think of it as practicing flying monsters."
"Next is Hydrolock. It looks just like a rock, so it's a monster that camouflages itself and attacks. How to tell... … ."
"next… … ."
Instead, the topography of the dungeon, the monsters that appeared, and the strategy were dealt with properly. Even if he doesn't say anything anyway, it's nothing to waste because it's an attack that will end in a day or two at the most.
However, if you see that Rokhan is easy to deal with, you can hurt your big nose.
"Now, this is troll territory. The number of trolls that appear in this dungeon is about 10 or so, but all of them act on their own, intoxicated with their own strength, so it is not too difficult to attract and hunt them one by one."
After penetrating for a while, the territory of the trolls appeared. They didn't have many numbers, but the area they occupied was wider than any of the monsters that appeared before, so it might be easier to deal with them.
"A common misconception about trolls is their regenerative powers, but they don't exhibit as great regenerative abilities as you might think. As for the high-level trolls that will appear later, the cursed cave trolls that appear now are all about fast life regeneration. If you leave it alone, it will quickly recover its health, but if you pay attention and keep attacking, it won't be that difficult. Then we will begin the battle."
Rokhan immediately used his charge to burrow into him. A continuous dash and shoulder charge! Suddenly hit by a cannonball-like torso headbutt, the troll's waist bent into a giyeojaja and spewed secretions.
"Sigh!"
Rokhan took out his battle ax and struck it at his neck.
Originally, it would have taken away the mobility and swept the lower body to prevent full use of power, but there are too many eyes to show such a standard play.
Because of that, it was rather difficult to approach with a head-to-head match using strength and attack power.
Kwok!
The ax blade, which flew with the momentum to cut off the head at once, only cut the troll's chest. The troll hurriedly leaned back, taking a hit with his chest and knocking Rokhan away with force.
Thanks to that, Rokan also fell off like a bounce, but he rolled his body as if he had expected it, so there was no damage.
"Leaf attack, force!"
As I bounced back and struck a blow, the power that was no different from a combination skill in itself exploded.
Cuckoo!
The troll's arm, which had swung the stick with all its might, was bent and twisted. He was strong, and he couldn't stand the attack power that was inflated with various effects.
Rokan didn't miss the opportunity and swung his battle axe.
The wound on his chest, which had been healing quickly, tore open further, revealing his bones and heart.
"As much as I am confident in my ability, I am also reckless, so you can defeat it at once like this. It's simple."
Awesome!
After that, Lokhan decapitated the troll. No matter how much they cut their throats or explode their hearts, they can no longer regenerate.
"Whew, that's good."
Rokan, who had finished handling one so lightly, sighed in relief.
It seemed like it was nothing special, but they had powerful combination skills.
'Fast play' was exactly that.
As people knew, it had a regenerative effect strong enough to attach even a severed arm, so it was clear that it would be quite disappointing if it was activated while you were not paying attention.
That's why Rokhan doesn't want to reveal it.
'It's no fun if it's easy. is not it '
In addition, there was also an offensive combination skill, 'Magic Break', so users would come and go a little more.
After finishing filming like that, Lokhan immediately took out a butcher knife. He activated the skill and started collecting blood and sinew.
[The Cursed Cave Troll has been slaughtered successfully.]
[The amount of by-products obtained is reduced due to the low proficiency of the slaughter skill.]
[Slaughter increased by 0.1%.]
The troll's blood and sinew were quite valuable, so this is also a secret.
Moreover, since the only thing that could be obtained through normal hunting was troll blood, tendons could be monopolized for a while.
Even if you only sell the by-products of the trolls to the store, you can get a decent amount of money, so you can benefit quite a bit.
By reducing the number of trolls one by one like that, I was able to kill all the trolls without difficulty.
"He must be hiding somewhere… … ."
And Lokhan began to scan all over the troll's habitat, looking for any traces.
