Chapter 342 – 30. A Dungeon Called the Abyss

The expedition departed for the gorge, being welcomed by a large number of Palalians.

The decision was made because there was no fear of failure at all.

Thanks to this, not a few royal officials expressed their concerns.

Because it was the royal family of Palania who most actively informed the news of the expedition and gathered the people.

As long as the news spread not only within the kingdom, but throughout the continent, if there was a problem with the expedition, it could be a fatal blow to Palania. The ministers cautiously put forward these opinions, but Queen Charperia only laughed at them.

“National prestige? Ha. It’s the national prestige raised by Siwoo. What’s the problem if Siwoo shaves it off again?”

“Ugh. That, that’s…”

“But this is a different case…”

“And.”

“…”

“I believe in Siwoo’s success.”

That was it.

Meanwhile, Han Siu, who had no way of knowing that this was happening, was taking a break in the expedition wagon heading to Bretum Gorge.

“It feels strange. It’s a dungeon attack unit, but they’re riding a wagon.”

Maki Senjou, a single hero with bobbed red hair, muttered awkwardly.

She was a warrior who grew up in the most standard way in the clan.

He received appropriate support from the country, carried out his mission with his colleagues, and grew step by step.

The support for the hero is not small, but in the case of women, it is only enough to live affluent lives.

It wasn’t easy for her to work as a hero with a lot of holes to get out of.

It’s not that Senjou Maki isn’t without talent, but being a female hero was harder than I thought.

“I’ll be riding more often from now on.”

“Is it often?”

“Yes. Once the clan has established a certain footing, I plan to receive group missions rather than individual missions.”

“Ah…”

“It’s also a clan for that purpose in the first place.”

“Sounds like a good idea!”

“Hehe, right?”

Siu flirted with Senjo Maki and chatted.

Maybe it’s because my personality is more like looking at a good younger brother than other girls.

The time she met with her was short and infrequent, but she was able to make friends pretty quickly.

‘I don’t really need more men, but sometimes it’s a pity.’

It’s a feeling I’ve never felt before.

Maybe it’s the aftereffects of the kingdom of Elbazon.

‘Maybe it’s because I came here after seeing all kinds of strange men.’

Since men are so rare in the world, it was the first time since many New Year’s parties that I had seen as many men as Changgwan Yggdrasil. I was in a bad mood at the New Year’s party, but it was worse in Elbazon. Thanks to that, we barely talked.

‘Sometimes I like a comfortable relationship like this.’

It’s not just Senjo Maki.

For example, the two Lily couples at Baek Hye-yeon’s party.

It would be different depending on the case, but there was no thought of intruding between the two.

And, unlike other women, they treated Siu comfortably.

Thanks to that, we got to know each other surprisingly quickly and had many small conversations.

While Siwoo Han was happy with such a sense of security, Maki Senjo recalled something and called him.

“By the way, Haengnim, I have a question.”

“What?”

“When will our clan make swords?”

“…”

Siwoo shut his mouth at the sharp question that pierced his heart.

The conditions for establishing a clan have already been met.

The rank of the warriors in the clan leader, the number of five members, the overall performance and contribution, etc.

Expectations are high throughout the continent, and since he was appointed as a saint in the Holy Empire, where there is an organization that governs warriors, once he applied, he was granted permission without any further confirmation. Even so, Siu hasn’t even applied yet.

There is only one reason.

“…Let’s vote for names when we return from the expedition.”

“Yes, I understand!”

Because of the clan name.

It is a clan that will make a name for itself in the future, and perhaps go down in history.

So I wanted to make a good name beyond a proper name, but Siwoo didn’t have a very good naming sense. When he was in Elba John, he thought about it when he could afford it, but he couldn’t think of anything he liked.

“It was so difficult to come up with a name.”

“I understand. But you shouldn’t worry too much about this.”

“That’s right.”

“It’s important to spit out what pops into your head right away!”

“Hmm, then I think something would be good for you, Maki.”

“Hmm…What about Jeong Eui-jo?”

“…You, too, don’t come up with names like that.”

“Eek!? Why, it wasn’t that bad.”

“No. Absolutely not.”

Senjou Maki, as if Siwoo’s words were unfair, turned her head and looked at Baek Hyeyeon sitting next to her.

She was listening to the conversation without much thought, but the sudden gaze caught her startled.

That alone was already enough of an answer, but Maki Senjo urged her Hyeyeon as if it were not enough.

“Is it strange for Hyeyeon unnie to think?”

“Uh, uh? Uh… Um…”

It’s not that Senjou Maki was ignorant, and Hyeyeon’s embarrassed face was appropriate as an answer.

“Is that so…”

“Ahaha, that, sorry.”

“No. It’s okay. Isn’t it my fault?”

Siwoo shook his head as they apologized to each other for something insignificant and acted awkwardly.

There was still a lot of awkwardness between them, so I tried to select a carriage seat by drawing lots, but it didn’t seem to be as effective as I thought.

Maybe it’s a different problem.

He was still cautious about stepping out hastily. Human relationships are difficult. If you think lightly and intervene, bad results may come out. Thank you for being a bit more cautious.

‘Write, sorry. As expected, the best thing in a situation like this is a threesome.’

“…Siwoo, you. You’re not thinking of something strange, are you?”

Seeing Siwoo’s expression as he licked his lips, Belluna from the seat next to him said.

At the words of the red-haired female swordsman, Si-woo only put on an unfair expression, but did not protest.

Even so, there was a minimum conscience.

“Anyway, it’s kind of an awkward combination.”

Belluna whispered in a low voice so that the two people in front couldn’t hear.

Siwoo secretly looked at Maki Senjou and Hyeyeon Baek.

I don’t feel like we’ve become close, but we’ve been talking about various topics before we knew it.

The person who mainly leads the conversation is Senjou Maki, who is younger.

She has a lively nature, and surprisingly, she led her atmosphere well as she was very talkative. Perhaps she plays that role in her party as well. Of course, there were a lot of trivial subjects and there was little substance in the conversation, but he considered it to be admirable.

‘Honestly, I looked at other parts more than talent, but I think I recruited well.’

“Well done, kid.”

Just then, Belluna uttered the same thought.

Siwoo did not hide his smile and nodded his head slightly.

“In our clan, we only have well-recruited people.”

Haha. That’s right.”

It’s really amazing, there are only good people, no good people.

Not just talent, but skills, personality, etc.

It was to the point of wondering how Belluna had gathered only such people.

Do you have a special eye for seeing talent?

Han Si-woo, a male warrior who is full of everyone’s expectations.

Thanks to that, a lot of people flock around Siwoo.

In the past, and now.

There must have been some swindlers gathering for nefarious purposes, but he managed to weed them out easily. And he picked only the real ones and built up my network and made friends. For Belluna, it was just amazing.

“If we finish the gorge expedition and come back, the continent will be in an uproar.”

“Huh?”

“Isn’t it? The number will remain the same, but the birth of a new S-class male hero. The creation of an excellent clan. And even clearing one of the four dungeons. It won’t be a matter of time before the eyes that have cooled for a while will gather again.”

“Well, just thinking about it makes me proud.”

Belluna’s thoughts were not assumptions, but convictions.

News of the Brethum Gorge expedition has already been delivered to the Holy Empire’s Bravery Division.

Because the principle is prior reporting.

There are many warriors who violate it on occasion, but Siwoo did not feel the need to go that far.

In fact, even if it wasn’t for this dungeon raid, it was enough to become an S-class.

‘Elbazon’s windowing request gave me a pretty decent public value.’

In terms of the amount of public value, it may not be enough to become an S-class, but the kingdom of Elbazon was added to his back ship. His achievement value is greatly influenced by his back stomach. No matter how neutrally you try to operate, the limits are clear.

“Come to think of it, it was…”

“S-class male hero… It’s amazing!”

Baek Hye-yeon and Senjo Maki, who were having a conversation, also focused their attention on the word S-class male warrior.

It is never light with only 6 letters.

Of course, he already has the title of a saint, and various nicknames such as the greatest talent of all time and the hope of the continent, but it was this one that had the most impact on the general public.

“It’s amazing. It’s only S-class now. It’s still… Far from the goal.”

“Wow.”

“Siwoo, but even if you say it with a slight blush…”

“Ugh. Just skip that!”

Siwoo is embarrassed by Belluna’s mischievous comments.

Senjo Maki’s admiring expression, like her cute little brother, was sincere, but deep down, she was embarrassed.

While the two were bickering, Baek Hye-yeon was the only one with a worried expression.

“Really, it’s amazing. …Brother. I’m sure there will be a lot of checks from around me, right?”

“Containment? Ah, that can’t be helped. But that will only be short-lived.”

“Yes?”

“Wow. What else am I going to say…”

“As expected, it’s Haengnim!”

“No, why is everyone like this? It’s not like that.”

Belluna is playful, and Senjo Maki is sincere.

However, Siu was also serious this time.

“I was going to tell you about this later, but since the story just came out, I’ll tell you in advance only to the people here.”

Han Si-woo explained the schedule right after the expedition.

Even the warning of the elven god he met in the kingdom of Elbazon.

Futashima.

A country made up of two large islands and several subdivisions that are symmetrical as if reflected in a mirror. It is the only island nation in this world, and also the only one that has two gods to follow.

And even the next plan of the Han Siu Clan.

“I’ll explain the details properly later. All I can say right now is that something big is going to happen there. We’re going to stop it.”

“Really Siwoo, you are busy.”

“Futashima, I’m looking forward to it!”

“A major incident… Whoa.”

Three women who each express their feelings in different ways.

Of course, none of them were anxious, even if they were worried.

They absolutely believed in Han Si-woo.

“I’m curious about what it is, but for now, I’ll have to focus on what’s right in front of me.”

“That’s right. About an hour left until we arrive.”

“Siwoo-sama. I’ll work hard, no, I originally planned to work hard! Anyway, when I go to Futashima, the sword takes me with me.”

“Haha, yes, yes.”

Even though there is not much left until the start of the dungeon raid, the carriage has a friendly atmosphere without tension.

On the other hand, the carriage immediately behind was creating a similar yet different atmosphere.

“Haa, my son is right in front of me, but I can’t meet him…”

SS class hero Han So-yeong.

“It’s true. It would be more fun with Siwoo-nim.”

Pink Saint Elaine.

“Ah, sex! Me too, I can do it… Maybe… Ugh…”

Necromancer Gwen.

“The greatest talent ever. Penis power. Semen. Interesting.”

And even the Shaman Warrior Lewis.

Especially the combination of the two Siwoo and the two who are very interested in his body.

Seeing the results of the lottery, the four that Siwoo was most worried about were moving in a wagon unexpectedly without much trouble. And that this combination would create a plot that was not a plot, Siwoo could not have imagined in his dreams.
