Intruders
“Heeh, so this is the [Ordinary Cave] huh…”
The male adventurer set foot in the empty cave.
His party members followed a few steps behind him.
There were three people in the party in all. They received the investigation commission from the guild and were F-Rank adventurers.
“Oi oi, be careful. This is still a dungeon, we don’t know what kind of traps there could be.”
“We don’t need to worry, didn’t the guild tell us? There’s nothing really here. Just the dungeon core, that is.”
“Yeah, but…”
Even though his timid comrade stopped him, he entered as though he didn’t care at all.
The passage stretched left and right. However, there wasn’t anything to see… just the remnants of a burned wooden door.
“Guess none of the bandits survived it.”
“You think any of the knights would let them live? Even so, it seems there was around twenty of them.”
“Wow… Well, these guys didn’t have good luck, huh.”
“Ah, this way’s a dead end… The other way then?”
“Looks like there’s a room a bit ahead. Let’s go.”
The adventurers backtracked without incident. It was to be expected. In this cave, there were neither traps nor monsters.
… But in just one spot, there was about five to ten Goblins that could come out of the dungeon core.
As for the contents of the commission, it was the delicious work of getting a silver coin by just reporting how many goblins come out.
It’ll more or less turn into a goblin subjugation. Well, something like five goblins could easily be defeated by a single F-Rank adventurer. Three people would be a surplus for ten.
Then, they arrived at the room with the dungeon core inside.
Five goblins appeared from the dungeon core.
It wasn’t a problem with just this many coming out. It was settled with two, three crude swings of their swords.
“Heeh, pheeew…. five. Alright.”
“Commission complete. Hmm? What is it?”
One of the adventurers was looking at the dungeon core.
