Chapter 117: Kiel
chapter 117: kiel
kiel, the priest i’ve been searching for, has finally joined our party.
when i say ‘joined our party’, i mean about the trial period. kiel told us that he had never been in a dungeon, and had never hunted a magical beast.
kiel’s purpose in joining the party seems to be money.
i have a good track record in recruiting people and our party is strong, so we can conquer dungeons with ease. i also told him that since there were only a few of us, he would get a larger share of the money. i guess the priest came as advertised.
since money was his primary goal, i explained to him about money management so that there would be no misunderstanding later.
a party can go to any floor they have already been to once in a dungeon. however, just because the party leader has been there before, it is not possible to move for his/her to take his entire party there. so, kiel, who has not entered a dungeon yet has to start from the first floor of the c-class dungeon we will visit.
in c-class dungeons, except for the bottom floor boss, the only magical beasts that appear are e or d rank. even the bottom floor boss is only c-rank.
the main source of our money is the rewards dropped when defeating the bottom floor boss.
there are three c-class dungeons near the base.
i checked each dungeon and found that there they had four, five, and six floors.
the third dungeon we are about to conquer has only four floors, so we can conquer it in two weeks.
i asked him if he was okay with not making money until then, and he said he was fine with that.
and he wants to enter dungeons twice a week for more money-making opportunities.
he told me he was on hold as to whether he would join the party. he said he would think about it after he went to the dungeon once.
we are currently in a room that will take us to the dungeon.
and i’m checking to make sure that kiel, who has joined our party temporarily, won’t plunge into a dungeon in another dimension by himself.
the cube told us that if we go to a dungeon from the same room, we don’t need to form a party as we will go to the same dimension regardless. according to it every room has a different dungeon.
“it looks like we’ll be able to enter the same dungeon without any problem, kiel. so let’s go.”
“do we enter the dungeon from here?”
“yes.”
i was conversing with kiel in a polite manner. it’s better for a recruiter to be polite for a better chance.
the five of us were in a room with the cube-dungeon management system in order to conquer a c-class dungeon. then, the five of us moved to the first floor.
we’ve been going to the c-class dungeons for about a month now. since our level, including cecile’s, has risen quite a bit, we can easily handle this floor, where only e-rank magical beasts appear.
however, thinking kiel might be worried, we assumed proper formation with kurena and dogora in the front row, cecile and him in the center, and me at the back.
and
“kiel, i’m going to bring out the big one we were talking about.”
“big? what?”
kiel shouted loudly.
“you surprised me. this is my talent.”
i summoned two brons on both sides of cecile and kiel. this is to solidify their defense.
kiel noticed that everyone was okay with this. he looked at them asking if this is normal.
“yeah, i get it. that’s amazing.”
“yeah.”
“yes.”
“all right.”
the bottom floor bosses are basically defeated by kurena, cecile, and dogora. if i defeat them, we won’t be able to practice our coordination. it’s more beneficial for the three of them to fight, as kurena and dogora practice using their skills, and cecile gains skill experience by consuming mana.
kurena and dogora run side by side, charging into the enemy. cecile used her fire magic to kill the goblins. orcs and goblins started to move due to cecile’s attack from a distance.
i prioritized protecting cecile and kiel by summoning brons rather than fighting.
dogora blocked the orc’s full-length spear with his axe, while kurena slashed at it with her sword.
(we can easily defeat a c-rank magical beast. we need to get to the b-class dungeon as soon as possible.)
thanks to a month and a half of going through the dungeon, it seems that one c-rank magical beast is too weak for them three.
“hmm? you okay? heal.”
kiel applied a recovery spell to dogora’s arm, which was hit by a blow from the orc.
“...oh, thank you.”
(oh? recovery magic?)
this is the first time in two weeks that i’ve seen kiel use recovery magic because we never got injured.
(a treasure chest came out. oh!)
“we’re lucky today.”
“oh! this is the treasure! hmm? luck?”
kiel had been following everyone for the past two weeks without much conversation.
kiel raised a loud voice.
after defeating the bottom floor boss, a treasure chest appeared. this time, the chest was not a wooden chest, but a silver one.
(what is it about this production that makes it seem so rare?)
i was told by the dungeon general system that there are three types of chest that bottom floor bosses drop: wooden chests, silver chests, and gold chests.
a while ago, i got a silver chest and learned that the chests for the lowest floor boss was hit or miss. they didn’t tell us the odds of getting each one, but i’d say it was something like 90% wooden chests, less than 10% silver chests, and less than 1% gold chests.
a silver chest dropped about once in ten times, so i expect that to be the probability. i’ve never seen a gold chest yet.
i opened the treasure chest.
“this is mithril armor, isn’t it? if it’s made of mithril and it’s this big, it’s going to cost more than ten gold coins.”
a mithril armor appeared.
“ten gold coins! oh, wow! yeah, we’re splitting it, right?”
“of course.”
after saying that, we returned from the dungeon. the armor shop was still open, so we took it there and got 15 gold coins. i also split the three gold coins and the magic stone that we obtained evenly and gave them to kiel.
we didn’t recruit the priest on the condition that i would get all the magic stones, so of course one-fifth would be kiel’s.
“oh, thank you.”
with that, kiel ran through the already darkened city towards the station where the magic train was located.
