[Somewhere in the middle of the open field dungeon]

"I see, no wonder they're acting strange. Plus, I do here a bizarre rumour here and there regarding what happen behind Kiserre's back alley" [Merchant]

"Yeah, please tell the other to be careful. But above all, prioritize your own safety first, don't want any of them coming after you" [Adult man]

"Got it, you be careful of the monster right there as well, though it is mostly harmless" [Merchant]

(There? Where?) "Got it!" [Adult man]

The merchant left after hearing the information given by the adult man, leaving the blissfully unaware adult man wondering just where is this monster he is talking about, not realizing that the one that save them is in fact, classified as a monster by most.

He continues to accompany the young deer girl to play with the mysterious lady, hoping to come across other trustable person as to increase the number of people aware of what's happening inside Kiserre.

Minutes turn in hours and

"Let just go back, shall we" [Adult man]

"I want to play more..." [Young deer girl]

"Well, you are cured of your fever, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't rest!" [Adult man]

"Fine..." [Young deer girl]

Waving bye-bye to the lady, they went back to their hut to rest. There, the teenage girl and the young dwarf were surprised as the young deer girl is in perfect and healthy condition.

"Well, then I guess we should just store this herb here for future use" [Young dwarf]

"Agree" [Teenage girl]

_________________________________________________

Right now, we are quite a distance away from the middle road, on the 6th floor inside this 36 floor dungeon extending from Estel to Kiserre.

Rean, having registered as an adventure, quickly took a raid activity organized by the guild. There is a goblin den with possible Goblin spawning block nearby, creating a large number of low ranking goblin with it. Ohhh lucky me, or so I thought but since this is a request put up by the country, the spawning block will be given to them. Well, it's only fair as they're the one that put up this request.

The one that takes this request are mostly the newbies adventure, with Jacks and a female paladin acting as instructors, seeing from a far, giving some guidance on how to handle the situation and also to interfere should things go wrong. Well, it's a low ranking goblins after all, so sending some high ranking adventure should do the trick, but the guild also have the responsibility to train the newbies.

As for me let just say I am a meddlesome outsider who along with the two instructors, will guide the newbies, free of charge of course. I will mostly focus on the four of them, but I wouldn't mind helping others as well. As for the other nine siblings of mine, Ram give them the green light to join in as well but

"We wanted to see Brother Rean first adventure request!" [Farhah]

"True" [Karon]

Well, I can respect that. They simply wanted to cheer Rean from the sideline. Well, just seeing and cheering wouldn't be good, so I thought of giving them some task, that is they have to tell me the point on which Rean, Ray, Kadeus and Lily can make to further improve themselves. That way, they can develop some observation skill as well, plus, they might give out a unique perspective that only they can caught.

After walking for some time, we arrive at an area filled with trees that are connected with one another by a bridge like structure which are made up of their branch. From a single glance, this look like multiple trees but in reality, I would say that there are no more than 20 trees here. One main tree must have form multiple trees surrounding them and to communicate/to share nutrition with each other, the bridge are formed.

"Over there...!"

One of the female archer shout, spotting a single goblin running away, but

"Haaa!" [Rean]

Rean simply dash toward the goblin and quickly slice it neck through. The goblin tried to put up some fight initially, but it club is also sliced through along with it neck

""Good job"" [Jacks, Female paladin]

"Yup, that way, this goblin wouldn't alert the other" [Ash]

"I see" [Elise]

Not only my siblings, other newbies adventure also nodded, learning something new

"Well, let us get going then!" [Kadeus]

"Wait Kadeus, we shouldn't! We should first scout other area and eliminate any other patrolling goblins! That way, we can successfully perform a surprise attack later on" [Ray]

"Agree. They might be weak, but they're monster nonetheless. Plus, they have the advantage in number" [Lily]

"You guys heard the two of them. I suggest that all of you split into smaller group first and cover the area here and there, and slowly make your way through, until you reach the spawning block" [Female paladin]

"Indeed, but do be careful, this is their territory. Just like how a country will put a defense to better protect themselves, so do them" [Jacks]

"Understood!" [Adventure]

That sure are educational. If it is me, I might simply burn all of the trees. And should I wanted to be eco friendly type of guy, I will simply launch a frontal assault. Jacks and the female paladin might do the same, but for them, they're still learning and it would be better for them to learn this way.

I follow Rean and some other adventure. They quickly take care of the goblins that they come across. I must say, both Ray and Lily really did a great job spotting the goblins through their search magic. I can understand as Ray parents is an adventure, and as for Lily, she might simply be talented on utilizing neutral magic. Succubus generally have a tendency to use mirage magic though, so she who follow the same trait will obviously use it later

As we keep on advancing, both Rean and Kadeus compete to see who can kill the most number of goblins, and so far, Rean is in the lead by a margin. Well, his blessing have been awaken, not fully but I guess it started to manifest. Good thing the bracelet did wonder on hiding it.

"Those two, I could have sworn they just registered today!"

"That Rean guy, he is strong!"

"I wonder if he is single ~Blush~

"Haha, let just keep going" [Ash]

I could just let them talk, and even let the girl who takes interest in Rean try to flirt with him, but they're in the middle of a quest, and they're still weak, so I should let them take this more seriously

As we when deeper and deeper, we can finally see the spawning block, with a weak king goblin in the middle. Guess this block really do spawn weak goblin only

~Nod~

~Nod~

~Nod~

~Nod~

with the other group lead by the other two instructors arrive at their respective location, they nodded with each other, signalling to start the ambush. I can understand they nod to each other, but Singa, Savel and Charlotte imitating them is just cute

With a darkness spell from Rean, and a mirage spell from Lily, they severely disturb the basic sense of goblins, from vision to hearing, thus, giving the adventure the opportunity to strike first.

The king goblin, trying to give a command to his underling, fail on doing so as the chaos is simply out of his control.

"Kadeus! Ray!" [Rean]

""Got it!"" [Kadeus, Ray]

With Rean clearing the path for his two friends, Kadeus with his axe and Ray with his sword slices the two limbs of the goblin king, before delivering the final blow by stabbing the king right into his heart.

"And done!" [Ash]

With the goblin king kills, the spawning block didn't show any sign of activities, and the surrounding goblins being taken care of, Jacks and the female paladin are about to brief them on what to do next when suddenly

"Look out!" [Ash]

A mysterious portal open just above us, and a figure of a deranged white attire man can be seen falling from it
