The following day, 18th Solar, was tranquil just like the one earlier than.
I did some adjusts within the human refugee camp homes and whereas I used to be at it Bia known as me.
Lastly one of many shirts I ordered was full, so I wasted no time and ran to the seamstress to place it on.
The brand new shirt was fully brown, nothing fancy and just a little tight. It was the standard villager fabric, however that is precisely what I needed from the beginning.
Noble’s garments could also be lovely however they’re nowhere close to as sensible as commoner garments and I’ve a obscure reminiscence of them being a nightmare to scrub and restore.
The seamstress simply observed the issue and stated that she would make the subsequent one greater.
I thanked her for the short work and fortunately exited the tent.
With nothing to do, I ought to capable of accumulate a bit over a thousand Mana, however I used to be shocked that I had 1300u Mana once I checked the subsequent morning.
It looks like one thing tried to invade the Dungeon once more…
Effectively, the defenses are working accurately, so there must be no drawback.
…
nineteenth Solar, night time time.
The Thunder wolf is rising greater at a scary tempo. Immediately it is already twice as large as after we received him. If he retains rising this quick, I’m wondering how large the grownup type can be…
Because the day we went to tub within the river I have not seen Alice. At first it was as a result of I used to be too busy, later as a result of Michela at all times stopped me. In fact I might sneak round or pressure my method if I needed, however once I take a look at Michela’s eyes I do not see the identical mistrust as earlier than, so I assumed at the very least for now it was higher to carry again and wait.
As I depart the warehouse I begin smelling burning corpses and listen to a faint scream.
“What was that? Somebody screaming?And this scent….The fireplace lure!!!”
I run towards the doorway and as an alternative of taking the quick reduce, I check out the lure corridors.
Certain sufficient the hearth lure had been activated as the bottom was nonetheless on hearth once I received there. The corpse had already vanished but it surely’s metallic armor remained and it was simple to acknowledge by the scale. Orc armor. The enemy arrived!
Protecting my physique with Mana, I activate constructing mode and stroll via the partitions, reaching the toxic gasoline hall to take a fast look. Inside I see not solely the bottom coated by armors from the earlier assault however bit wooden blocks barring the traps from activating.
Manipulating mana to maneuver the wooden blocks, I clear the traps directly and get out of the room.
It looks like whoever is invading the dungeon is being cautious to disarm every lure one after the other as an alternative of launching a full scale assault… These traps ought to catch just a few extra of them however the traps injury can be restricted. I have to broaden our defenses and put together for the worst…
Operating again to the elves camp I known as Stone out.
“Stone. The orcs arrived.”
As I point out orcs I see a wierd spark of sunshine seem for a second on Stone’s eyes.
“Orcs… The place are they?”
“They need to be out of the cave. They’re sending in small teams of orcs to disarm the traps earlier than launching an assault.”
“They quantity?”
“Unknown. The Dungeon cant scan exterior, we would want to ship scouts of our personal to search out out…”
“Then what are you ready for? Select some folks and ship them out!”
“Stone, settle down! Sending them out is suicide! You must know that!”
“But when we do not do something we can be simply ready to die! If you cannot ship anybody, I’ll go!”
“No, wait! I received an ideal particular person for the job!”
…
quarter-hour later, me, Stone and Ruyk discovered ourselves in entrance of the trapdoor shortcut to the doorway.
“Now hear, Ruyk, I received a job for you!”
“Sure Grasp! For saving Ruyk from the villainous elven puppies, Ruyk will certainly repay you!”
“All proper, simply shut up and hear!”
“Ye-hmm…”
Ruyk begins to reply however sees me obvious at him and simply nods his head.
“Your mission is straightforward, you’ll go down this rope, stroll towards the cave’s entrance, rely what number of orcs are there and are available again to inform us. Obtained it?”
Ruyk nods his head.
“Good! Then go!”
I open the lure door and thru the rope down.
Ruyk goes down the rope silently and sneaks out of the cave.
..
…
Full silence…
Minutes felt like hours…
One after the other, slowly and silently passing by with none change…
Till this occurred.
“Maaaaaaaster!!!!!!!”
“Assist! Assist! They’re coming after Ruyk!!!”
“Save me grasp! They wish to kill Ruyk!!!”
Noticing the goblin was coming, I began getting ready the fireball upfront, and because the goblin lastly appeared in my visual view I used to be able to shot it out.
Behind Ruyk a dozen orcs have been chasing him, with weapons at hand and armor masking their our bodies.
I waited just a few extra seconds and as Ruyk approached a bit I launched the fireball proper over his head, attempting to hit the orcs behind. Sadly they have been effectively educated and jumped again as quickly as they noticed the hearth approaching them. However the explosion was nonetheless ready blind them quickly and purchase treasured seconds we used to drag Ruyk up the rope and get him out of the hazard.
“Thanks, Grasp! Grasp saved Ruyk’s life once more!”
“All proper, so, what number of orcs have been there?”
“Hmm…”
Ruyk scratches his head and begin counting his fingers then solutions:
“Loads!”
I do my greatest to carry again my anger and do not kill the creature in entrance of me.
Pondering again, perhaps this was my mistake!
Rattling! Why did I put my belief in a goblin thief!?
